~Tia~I left the boys and started to walk. I have an idea of where Lynn disappeared, but I’m not in a rush to get there. The longer I take, the more calm she’ll be…..hopefully. I have no idea what got into Devonte, but she will definitely make him sorry that he said any of that.I walk through the packhouse, greeting people as I go. I’ve been widely accepted by the pack since the entire ordeal with my father, and it still feels weird at times. Many admitted that they never knew me but based their interactions with me on what others had to say about me. Many rumors have been floating around for years. I say nothing when these conversations come up. It isn’t that their reasoning makes things okay, but it’s more so what’s done is done. I just want to be a good Luna to the pack. I want us to prosper and enjoy life, so the sooner we can end this foolishness, the better.Grunting and cursing get louder as I walk through the woods. There’s a place in the woods where the three of us used to g
~Lynn~Devonte looks at me dumbfounded, as if he isn’t sure what to do next. I know he heard me, and I’m impatiently waiting for him to fulfill my request. He owes me some groveling with his apology, and I want it the way I want it. There will be no working around it.“Maybe we should talk first. I….I need to tell you wh-” I hold my hand up, effectively stopping him mid-sentence.“I’m not interested in what you have to say. I heard your conversation with Vonte, so I got the gist. No matter what, you owe me an apology and then some.” We stand and look at each other for a bit before Devonte nods at me. “Now that we’re on the same page, strip.” Devonte looks around before settling his gaze back on me.“Out here, in the woods?” I take a step toward him and place my hands on my hips.“I’m pretty sure I didn’t stutter, and I know that we are outside in the woods. I knew that when I walked up to you. I will say it again, and that’s it. Strip!” Devonte looks around one more time before taking
~Imogene~I take a long look at the man in front of me. He’s not a vampire that I’ve ever had dealings with before, but I’m not surprised. I heard a bit of his story, and it seems he was locked away somewhere for a while. Whatever the reason I never came across him before is irrelevant. He’s come along at the right time. “I need my magic back.”His eyes don’t waver from me, and I wish I could tell what he’s thinking right now. I’m currently magicless, thanks to that bitch high priestess. It took me many years to get the level of power I possessed, and now it’s like starting all over again. The only bright spot is that I put some of my magic away for just this type of situation. I just need some help with getting it back. “I’m no witch or warlock, so I’m a little lost as to how I can help with that.” I sigh and sit back in my chair. Maybe he’s intentionally playing dense.“Make the right connections, and you can do anything your heart desires.” He doesn’t say anything or move. “Look, I
~Tia~“Hey, beautiful.” Landon’s lips touch my cheek, and it’s a little wet. I turn to look at him and notice the sweat dripping down his face. I playfully slap his arm as I chuckle.“So gross! You’re way too sweaty to touch me.” Landon lets a small growl loose. At the same time, I feel wetness on the side of my face and neck. I jump at the uncomfortable feeling and turn to the side to see Lincoln laughing. I punch him in the shoulder.“Ow, baby. That hurt.” I roll my eyes and grab the towel out of Lincoln’s hand. I wipe my face before throwing it to Landon. I sit at Landon’s desk and eye my mates. “Don’t be mad. We’re just messing with you.”“Where’s Kian?”“Mom and Paul had him, but they are leaving him with Dad. They say they have to talk to everyone.” Lincoln and Landon wipe themselves down before sitting at their desks. The door opens, and Lynn struts in with Vonte behind her. Devonte is a bit slower coming in, and he looks extremely uncomfortable.I turn to Lynn, about to ask ab
~Mark~“Mmmmmm. You know what kissing me there does to me.” I smirk against her skin and continue my assault. “Maaaark…..fu…..that feels so good.” I reluctantly remove my mouth and push Jenna onto her back. She’s wearing my shirt to bed, and I love it when she wears my shirt to bed.I run a hand up her torso, under the shirt. I come in contact with her bare breast, and I latch on. Her skin is so soft in my hands. I knead it like it’s Play-Doh, and Jenna arches her back. I should probably let her sleep and get rest for the baby. I look down at her, writhing under me. Yeah, not happening tonight.I quickly push her shirt up and latch my mouth onto her nipple. I swirl my tongue around her peak, causing her back to arch. Her hand grabs the back of my head, and I really dig in. I move my other hand down to her nub and rub my finger around the sensitive button.Jenna is so wet, and my finger is getting drenched. My mouth is watering with anticipation; I want to taste her. I let my finger sl
~Aida~Ivan is giving out the last slew of orders so we can go and complete our agenda. I’m watching our little group, and I have to say it’s impressive. I’ve never gone against a group of vampires myself, so I can’t wait to see how crazy this is going to get.Ivan gets a call and walks away to take it. I continue to look at our little group, sizing them up. I’m beyond anxious to get going, and I wish this were the big battle we’re working toward. This is just a little skirmish to get an idea of what each pack is working with.I watch a hand tentatively go up into the air. I’m amused; it’s like I’m a teacher, and they are looking to ask a question. “Yes?”“I just want to be clear…..we AREN’T to kill anyone?” I sigh and look at the group. I look at where Ivan was standing and see that he’s moved much further. I turn back to the group, and I know I have a gleam in my eye.“The goal is to NOT kill anything this time around. We really want to intel.” There are nods throughout the group. “
~Jenna~I struggled to get out of bed. The struggle continued as I tried to shower and dress myself. I’m standing in front of the full-length mirror, and I smooth the black dress that I had plastered on my body. It’s a form-fitting dress with a pencil skirt. I sigh as I step into my black pumps and tuck some hair behind my ear.There’s no point in makeup because it isn’t going to stay on my face, not today. There’s a knock on my door before it opens. “Hey, baby girl. Are you ready?” I sigh again and clench my eyes to keep the tears in.“Can you ever really be ready for this?” My dad lets out a humorless chuckle and walks toward me.“No, you are never ready for this.” He places a hand on my lower back and guides me out of my room and the packhouse.We are laying our fallen to rest. We lost three people, and we decided to say goodbye today. The battle was a day ago, but there’s no point in waiting. We will need to coordinate with the Emerald Lack Pack because we know this isn’t the end
~Portia~I’ve been dreading today for weeks now. I hate that I have to go back home, but I have no choice. My name is Portia Colby, but I go by Tia. I’m a part of the Emerald Lake pack, where my father is the head warrior, and my mother is a pack doctor. I have older twin sisters that are the apple of everyone’s eye. They are four years older than me and my father’s favorite. He dotes on them and spoils them. To him, they are his everything, and I’m just a mistake. No, he literally told me that I was a mistake. He said he didn't want any more pups after my sisters because they were already perfect. He and mom have gotten into many arguments over this. She says that is an ugly attitude to have. She loves all of her kids, though I think she likes me better. I've never asked because I don't want to put my mom on the spot like that. My sisters have always been indifferent to me. They only acknowledge me when they have to, never going out of their way for me for any reason. I honestly thi
