Thank you all for baring with me on this second book. I’m sorry it’s taken so long to get it out. Between a fulltime job, kids and hitting a writing block, it’s taken me way too long to write this. I hope you enjoy it.

Everleigh It’s been five years since I left my mates behind. Five years since I started a life for myself. I have not looked in to them even though I wanted to. I haven’t contacted anyone from the pack at all. Five years ago, when I decided to leave after my mates marked another and all the other crap that has happened I moved as far away as I needed to keep safe. I almost lost Nyx after them marking that fake bitch but she is strong and still with me.I haven’t been able to shift but I can still feel her in me and once in a while she will talk to me. Moving from Missouri to Georgia was a safe feeling I had when I got this far. No one knew me or what I was. I moved to a human city as Nyx agreed. We moved to the outskirts of a city with a wooded area that was easily accessible. Even though I couldn’t shift it still felt right to live here. We felt more at peace.I was here a few days before I started looking for a job that I could do since it would technically be my first job eve
“You ready for tonight bugger?” I asked him.“Yes!” He squealed. “Bowling and pizza. Mom I’m going to beat you this time!” He said jumping up and down.“How about we make a deal? If you win I won’t make you do chores for three days. If I win you have to help me with dinner a couple nights this week on top of your chores.” I tell him knowing that he wouldn’t complain too much. He loves helping me cook and I love it when he helps me.“Yes. You’re on! Even if I win I will still help with dinner!” He shouts pumping his little hands in the air. He runs off down the hall to his own office room to play.I turn to look at Sophia. “You’re coming to right?” I ask her.She shakes her head, “No. I have a date tonight.”“It’s ok. Maybe next week.” I said smiling at her.“Yeah.” She said smiling at me.“Do we have any more appointments today?” I asked her turning around and walking to the front desk.“No. We are done for today. If you want to leave early that’s fine. We only have an hour and half l
“Your right. I don’t have to see them. I don’t know how it will go but we can try. Hopefully the mate bond is truly gone since they marked another and won’t know I’m there. There is plenty of Hotels around there that we can stay at and we can just use your name on the reservation. Their pack welcomes humans on the land so it won’t be unusual for a human to be there.”She nods her head letting go of me and smiles. “Alright that’s settle. Go wash up before little man comes back and sees you like this. I chuckle and walk off to the bathroom down the hallway. I shut the door behind me and splash cold water on my face. Luckily I don’t ever wear make-up because it would be a mess right now. I grab a towel and pat my face dry. Besides my eyes being red you wouldn’t be able to tell I had been crying. A soft knock comes at the door and I open it.“Are you ready momma?” Asked a smiling Walker.“Yes baby I’m ready. I just have to grab my purse and I’ll be ready to go.” I said smiling back at him
As we get to our lane our balls are already there that we always use. I go to the monitor and in put our information before we start. We don’t need the bumper pads so I tell Walker he is first. He walks up, grabs his ball and takes it to the lane. I watch as he does his little dance that he says is his good luck dance before rolling his ball down the lane.His ball rolls and rolls and rolls until it hits the middle pin knocking all but the two on the left side. He jumps up and down smiling. He is getting so good at this game. I am so proud of how smart and kind my little man is. I have tried my hardest to raise him right.He walks back over and grabs his ball again. He gets to the edge of the lane and slides over to the left a little before rolling his ball. It stays right at the edge making contact with the last two pins. I clap showing my support for him. He turns around grinning like the mad hatter and runs to me.“I did it mom! Did you see what I just did?” He asked clapping.“I d
I chuckle. “We have been coming here once or twice a week for the past two years. He’s very organized and detail oriented. He can see things in ways I have never seen before.” I told them as I finish tying Walkers shoe and standing up.I stand next to his chair and extend my hand. “Hi I’m Everleigh.”The first guy walks closer and grabs my hand and shakes it. “Blake.” He said then let go of my hand gesturing behind him. “This is my Brother Liam and his ma- uh, girlfriend Bailey.” I waved at them and said a little hello. He gestured to the woman beside him and said, “This is my girl Nora.”“Hello. I’m Everleigh and this is Walker.” I said putting a hand on his hair and ruffling it causing him to huff and cross his arms over his chest.“Mom!!” He whined swatting at my hand. “Stop you’re messing up my hair.”We all bust out laughing.“It was nice meeting y’all but we need to be going.”“It was nice meeting you too. We don’t see many like us around here. Hopefully we will run in to each o
Zayden It’s been five years since everything went to hell. Five years since my life changed and I became the ruthless leader everyone has heard about and not just rumors.FlashbackAfter the battle everything was in shambles. We lost Everleigh and couldn’t figure out where she went. No clues. No idea who did it or where they took her. After everything settled for the most part I inducted Ruby in to the pack.I asked her questions about who paid them to attack the pack and the reason behind it. She said a younger guy paid a lot for them to be a distraction because we had something that the person wanted. She didn’t know what but the amount they paid she wasn’t going to turn down as she was going to use it for her grandfather since he had been sick.They found him where she
I’m brought out of my flashback by my phone ringing.“Yes.” I said in a monotone voice as I put the phone to my ear.“Alpha.” Said the voice on the other end.“What’s the update?” I asked.“Sir, we found her.”I sit up straight as I hear this news. I couldn’t believe it. After this many years she has finally been found.“Where?” I demanded.“Georgia, Sir.” He said.“I thought we scouted all the packs there already.” I stated questioningly.“We did sir, but she wasn’t in a pack. We found her by accident last night in a human city.”“Did she see you? Sense you?” I asked cautiously.“No Alpha. We have been using the masking spray that Vor made for us.”“Great job Ty. You and your team keep up the great work and keep me updated of any changes. We will be th
No matter what I do I cannot get my mate out of my head. I have tried over the years but I just want her back and soon she will be. I hear a knock on my door before it opens revealing Grey. He walks in shutting the door behind him. He walks over to the chair sitting in front of my desk.“Hey Zay. Is everything ok?” He asked.“Yes. Want a drink?” I ask him as I get up and go to the corner by my desk and grab two whiskey glasses and pour some amber liquid in both of them.“Yes please. You said you have information?” He asked as I grabbed both glasses and walked back over to my desk placing his down in front of him before I retake my seat.“I do.” I said nodding them taking a gulp of my drink.He takes a gulp too before asking, “What information are we looking at?”“You know how we have been searching for her for a few years now and have had no hits at all? Pretty much like she w
“Morning mommy.” Walker said yawning.“Good morning Walkers mommy.” Felix said with a smile.“Go get dressed bug and I’ll have Evan bring some clothes for you Felix. Then we can go have breakfast. I have a surprise for you buddy.” I tell them. Walker pushes the blanket off him and gets out of bed stretching his limbs before grabbing his clothes and going to the bathroom to get changed.I pick up my phone and text Liam asking him to see if Dawn or Evan could bring clothes up for Felix. Within seconds his reply of ‘already on the way’ came. A minute later there was a knock on the door and I stood up to answer it. Liam was there holding out the clothes for me to take. I smile at him and notice Bailey behind him.“Want to come in a minute?” I asked them stepping aside. “We can all go down together when Felix gets dressed.”“Good morning Eve. Did you sleep well?” B
EverleighI don’t know what to believe anymore or who to trust. I believed everything Desi said as she recounted her story. Nyx said she wasn’t lying and I believe her. My wolf would never lie to me. She even said it was a gift from mother. Unless she is talking about the Moon Goddess, I don’t have a clue who else it would be. I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night as my thoughts ran ramped.I guess why we were in our meeting Bailey ran back to the hotel and grab us all a change of clothes. Liam insisted that she take someone with her since he couldn’t as he was watching the boys. When she came back was about the same time Blake showed up telling Liam were to take the boys. Liam helped me by getting Felix changed as I changed Walker. I thanked him before he left to go to the room he was given.I watch as the sun starts to come up through the crack in the curtains on the window. I get up and walk to the bathr
Everleigh claps her hands before standing up. “Alright that’s it for tonight. Let’s find Desi a room and have a warrior stand guard at her door just in case. Let’s get her some clothes so she can shower. We can have the omega’s bring up food since it’s so late. And we all need sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long ass day. Plus, I know the boys are already down for the night. Blake, go get Liam and Bailey and have them put the boys in my room for tonight.”“Which room are you in Eve?” Blake asked.Everleigh looks at Dawn and she gives a sheepish smile, while Everleigh gives her a deadpan look. “Seriously.” All Dawn does is nod.“Top floor very last door on the right.” Everleigh sighs out to this Blake guy. He nods and takes off with a women following behind him.“Desi you will be on the Beta floor in the guest room next to Evan and Dawn.” Gamma Dev says looking at me
My eyes widen in shock. “I knew I recognized you from somewhere the first time I seen you but I couldn’t place it. I just shook it off at that time as I had a mission to do. You and your brother look a lot alike except you have more feminine features.” I tell her.“Ok go on.” She says finally.“Well, as you know that didn’t pan out so they made a rash decision and decided to go after Zayden since he was a well-known, feared and recognizable Alpha. Plus, they knew I was his type. No offense Everleigh.” I add looking at her.“I knew Zayden through friends even if we didn’t hardly ever hang out when I was in the pack. I did spend a lot of time with his mom though. I knew she loved me and wanted me for her son. When I came back to visit I found out that Zayden had found his mate. It was not going to stop me though. My mate was constantly being tortured at this point as I wasn’t showing progress like t
DesiI let out a heavy breath, look at each one of the people in the room before speaking. This is going to be the hardest thing to tell people I don’t know, fucked over and ruined their lives. Hopefully it will help them and in turn help me.“I’m not proud of what I have done in my life. As some of you may not know I turned 28 a few months back. It all started right after my 18th birthday. I had someone interested in me as a mate before I even met my Goddess given mate. I kindly turned them down and told them I was waiting for my Goddess given mate. If, at that time, five years passed and I still hadn’t found him I would gladly take the person as my chosen. He was a seasoned warrior who’s mate had perished in child birth along with their child.When I hit my 20th birthday I found my mate. He was a Lead Warrior in the neighboring pack. I went there to visit a friend from school who’s mate was also in the pack. I planned on going back home and telling my family about my mate but when I
She must sense someone here as she turns over and locks eyes with Tyler.“What do you want?” She ask in a raspy voice. Before he could say anything I stepped up to the door. When she notices my movement she looks at me with a look of surprise.“Everleigh?” She questioned.“Desi.” I said in monotone voice nodding my head at her.“What are you doing here?” She ask sitting up and swinging her legs over the edge of the cot.“We need to talk.” I tell her.“Ok?” She questioned.“The guys have been taken and being held somewhere. Did you have anything to do with it?” I flat out asked her.The look of shock on her face told me no before she even said it. “No. I would never. I have done enough damage to last a life time for everyone.” She said with a slight quiver in her voice.“Do you know who is behind it?” I asked her.
“Tell me what you know.”“Luna Aria from what I heard is a great strategist. She helps Alpha Stark with training, patrols and battle strategies. Luna Jazzlyn is good at calming heated people. She is usually pretty good at reading people and seeing through their bullshit. She is a little sensitive but she is a great Luna.”“Good to know. Is there anyone in this pack that Luna Jazzlyn was skeptical about?” I asked her as I wrote down what she said.“Not to my knowledge but I don’t think she met very many people. Just the higher ups. She mainly stayed by Jaxon side the entire time they were here.”“Understandable.” I tell her finishing up my note before looking up at everyone. I take a deep breath and let it out before asking the next question.“Where does Desi play in, in all of this?” I ask Dawn.I watch as she grimaces and looks down to the floor. “I don&rsqu
“Alright. Stop calling me Luna. I am not your guys Luna anymore.” I tell them with a sigh. “Let’s get to it. While the guys are gone I will call the other Luna’s.” The guys make their way out of the office and I sit back down rubbing my temples. I pick up the phone, put it on speaker phone and call the first on the list.The phone rings a few times before it is picked up by a soft cracking voice. “Luna Jazzlyn speaking.”“Luna this is Everleigh over in Silver creek Pack. We need your help.”“I can’t help right now Everleigh. We are in our own difficulties.” She says with a quivering voice.“Is your mate missing just as Zayden and Grey are?” I flat out asked her.“How did you know? Who are you?” She demanded.“I am Zayden and Grey’s ex-mate.” I told her as that’s the only thing she needed to know.“Oh, I heard about you. How can I help Everleigh?” She asked.“I’m calling a Luna summit.” I tell her. “I’m going to call Alpha Stark
I clear my throat to get everyone’s attention. “So back to what we were doing. I need those numbers please. I’d like to have them called before the night is over with. Then from there we can…” I was saying to them as the door burst open again. When I looked up the last person I ever expected to be there was standing in the door way looking shocked.“I’m looking for Zayden. Anyone seen him?” Eve asked looking around at all the people. When she noticed me she did a double take and sneered.“What the fuck are you doing here?” She snarled.“I came for a visit.” I told her with a sickly-sweet smile plastered on my face.“You should have kept your skank ass away. No one wants you here. Especially not my Zayden.” She all but yelled out causing Rylan to whine.“If anyone needs to stay away it is you. I know you were behind Desi and what the hell she was doing. I can&
