When Marie called me to pick her up in Eclipse she refused to tell me what for, but it sounded important so I agreed. I even brought Tayo and an additional vehicle with me like she asked, which meant Ainsley tagged along, but when I pulled up to see that asshole I started to question what exactly we were doing here.
He didn’t even react when I got out of the car, acting too interested in the conversation he was having with Marie, even though I know he noticed us pulling in. Casual as fuck, standing there and running his hands through his pale hair before he gave her this grin that was puke worthy, clearly his signature panty-dropping face, well not today. Not fucking today. I swear to Goddess if anything happened between them while she was here I’d come back and break a few things, and by things I mean bones, until he learned his place.

Marie I watched Mato’s mate back away from him as she tried to get him to realize that she couldn’t leave here. I knew why, but Mato didn’t. She stumbled over the chair leg and he caught her arm before she could fall, but he was being rough with her as he battled with himself. Mylo and him never wanted to be the cold tyrant that dad was, and even though their mate bond hadn’t fully clicked yet, I could see the agony in his face over the thought of leaving her. He wouldn’t be able to walk away from her now, he would want to be with her and protect her at all costs, even if she didn’t want him to. “She has a sick mother, Mato,” I stated, hoping to break through to him as I laid my hand cautiously on his arm that held onto Jazmin. He let go of his mate and turned around to study me for a moment.

MYLOMy Angel. It was like her eyes were looking directly into my soul and I needed to see the vision again and again to believe it. The vision itself didn't give her location away, but my mother's eye for detail figured it out.Finding my mate's location was now dependent on a planter.My father was on the council, a council that had another member whose mate was half-Fae. My mother had become friends with her back when we were young, and she took her to several villages as she explained Fae culture to her.Some of the Earth Fae she met showed her pots and planting beds they’d created, endowed with their magic to help their produce grow a bit faster, but each of them was unique in some way. There were several of them behind Dahlia in the vision, one of w

MYLOFour or five women hurried past me as I approached Dahlia. I tried not to get lost in her mouth-watering scent or how she truly looked like an Angel sent just for me. I needed to keep my head this time, I needed to win her over.“Don’t say anything yet,” I started, I had imagined this moment so many times, I’d planned out what I would say, and yet right now, my mind was a complete blank, “let me-”The sound of a baby crying took me off guard. Dahlia’s face flashed a moment of worry as she tried to scan my reaction, her sea-coloured eyes hesitating to rip her vision from me. I would have assumed it was hard for her to look away because I was her mate, but there was something else in her eyes, a concern for her safety, for the baby’s, her baby.

MARIE Azar had led us to the greenhouse, but he wouldn’t have needed to, Mylo was locked into where he was going like a scent dog on a mission. He’s always been determined in general but trying to find his mate, for months, has even him reaching new levels of relentlessness. Watching Mato and now Mylo is why I’ll avoid having a mate at all costs. They don’t know how to give people space, to allow people to develop their own feelings and their own need for each other. Their mates don’t know them from a frog in the forest, it’s not like they grew up in the same packs, hell both these girls haven’t even grown up in packs, and my brothers are just inserting themselves into their lives, essentially forcing a relationship where there is none. I wasn’t much for television, but something could be said for human relationsh

MARIE Mylo gently stroked down the baby’s forehead to the tip of her nose and as cute as I thought this moment was, an audible squeak sounded behind me. Dahlia was biting her bottom lip and clutching a shirt to her chest, her face flushing a bit as she caught me watching her reaction before she shook her head a bit and turned to start packing more things. I’m sure the baby complicates things, but it seemed like Dahlia was just as enthralled with Mylo as he was with her. I helped her pack most of her clothing and anything she needed for the baby before she cursed under her breath. “The bassinet is still at the greenhouse, I’ll go grab it,” Dahlia started towards the door. “No,” Mylo looked up at her, “we will have one brought to the house when we get there.”

MYLOThe house was just how Marie described it sitting within the trees, practically squished by them, with a thick layer of frost hanging onto the branches. I never would have found this on my own, I owed Marie a lot, and even more since we’ve arrived. She’s somehow helped bridge things between Dahlia and me, even now as she’s dropping the baby in my arms.We were too wrapped up in our mate's presence that there wasn't time yet to process how I felt about the fact that there was now a baby involved, let alone time for me to gauge how Kai was reacting. As Marie lowered her into my arms I was skeptical of how a baby that’s not ours was going to go over with him, but she seemed solid in her assumption that holding her would settle out Kai, and she was correct.I could feel the effects of Kai's relaxation ripple through me as th

DAHLIA Angel. Mylo has called me that a few times now, and I have to admit that every time I think of him I think of heavenly things too. ‘That’s because he is ours,’ Orla chimed in. She was finally at peace with our mate by our side and I couldn’t argue with her on anything after what I put her through. I was trying to stay guarded still around him, but every breath I took delivered his sweet apple scent to me. That little bit of cinnamon spice showing through his personality and his calming vanilla adding to the demise of any notion I had to keep my distance. "Nora," Mylo confirmed her name after he asked about it, and I swear if heaven had a sound, it would be his voice.

MATOThe plans were made, we just didn’t have a date. Jazmin knew she’d never have much notice, but she was truly as sweet as she smelt, regardless of how her mouth makes her sound.It didn’t surprise me when it was Miah who called me, that girl was the true center of anything gossip-worthy and somehow always had news before everyone else. Marek had called me five minutes later, swearing before he hung up the phone after I told him I was already packing up.With Marek and Mazin's help, there was a house already set up for us with most of our important things already moved in. Jazmin's mother, Sophie, would have a spot at the care home less than two blocks away from us. That would be the hardest adjustment on Jazmin, but her mom's Alzheimers required someone who could care for her full time.

MYLO “Isabelle will be stripped of her powers until she is determined to not be a threat anymore,” Xander informed us. The room had been cleared of everyone but the royals, myself, Dahlia and Nora. “We have someone in Shadow Forest who can accomplish it and make sure it’s maintained,” Brianna said as she assessed me, “your father informed us that you would like the right to end Marcus’s life. Are you positive that you want to bear that burden, that you have thought about having to tell Nora in the future?” “We have,” I glanced down at Dahlia and Nora. “It’s my job to protect them, no one else should have to burden themselves with Marcus’s death. Nora will understand, if she cares to ask, that it was her life or his.” “With me then,” Xander motioned for me to fol

BRIANNA I was hesitant to keep my heirs in here for this, but the boys assured me they needed to see. Orion explained the nature of what was about to happen to Mylo and Dahlia who have both chosen to join us. “I’d like my mate to join me,” Marie’s timid voice rang out, “but if that’s not something you’d prefer, I would still like to remain.” Seeing as though Octavia would just fill him in later anyways, I gave her a nod of approval and Timber’s Beta was charged with keeping Nora safe in the next room. When Marcus came into the room, there was a shift in energy, as was to be expected, but when Terran entered the room, Dixon became visibly stiff. I knew Dixon had issues surrounding Fae, but to see such a strong immediate reaction was surprising. I guess he didn’t know that Marie’s mate was Fae until now.

BRIANNA Alaric may have felt like Nixon’s outburst was harmless, but anytime he let his powers slip was dangerous. I wanted to talk to him about it, not that it would change anything, but I also felt like I had talked about it with him until I was blue in the face. Nixon wanted to let his powers loose, he had been practicing with them lately, and I knew Octavia could help him to an extent, but it just seemed too dangerous to let his secret out. How many species would come for him? How would we stop them or protect him? Not only that, but I know from experience the hunger for controlling power killed my parents, Dez’s parents, and most of what should have been my pack. The problem was that he was too carefree, too powerful, and getting too old now for us to hold him back.

MYLOSomething happened between Nixon and Terran, what I wasn’t sure, but we could find out about it later when we had privacy.My mother scooped up Nora instantly when everyone made their way to the tables, positioning herself across from us, beside Brianna.“I’m glad to see your sister’s mate,” Xander started as he glanced down to where they sat at the far end of the table from us, “doesn’t insult easily.”“He’s used to dealing with my brother’s,” I smiled, “and he is mated to Marie.”“You’re too hard on her,” Wyatt laughed as he pulled Brianna into his lap, “what did you expect with parents like yours,&rdqu

TERRANMylo tried to prepare me for meeting their royals, and although they were something to take notice of, they clearly didn’t have the same effect on me as they did on everyone else. Marie was already wound tighter than cramped roots over everything that was going on, but when they walked in, every hair on her body stood at attention. Once they were in front of her, her energy shifted again as she dropped into a calm state that I hadn’t been able to get her to since the Marcus and Izzy incident.The kings were just how they described them, beastly in their appearance, dead inside if their facial expressions were any indication. Other than a side smile to the Luna, they were basically emotionless, standing by like psychopaths just waiting to be unleashed by their queen.When the heirs were introdu

DAHLIA I jolted at the sound when one of the kings cleared his throat. Watching the Queen be smitten with Nora was bringing a new level of comfort and happiness to me, a product I’m sure of the loyalty their blood brought out in me. It was a weird emotion to identify, but I felt in debt to them somehow when I’d only just met them, like any negative thought I could muster to think was suddenly gone and replaced with an intense need to appease them. My whole body seemed so relaxed now, a stark contrast to moments before they walked in, and it was easy to get swept away in watching the Queen take in Nora, so much so that I forgot anyone else was in the room with us. “You’ll have to excuse Brianna,” he started as he picked up my hand and kissed the top of it, “she’s apparently lost her mind now that a baby is

DAHLIAI was a nervous train wreck even though I tried not to let it show. I held my head steady as we walked into the packhouse, every wolf we passed looking at us with caution as we passed by.‘Your instincts are correct,’ Mylo linked me as he squeezed my hand slightly when we entered the dining area, ‘but you are safe here, so try to enjoy yourself, Luna.’‘That was definitely not the impression you just gave to Terran,’ I linked back as I caught sight of his parents. After he was done re-explaining things to Terran, I felt as though I had been given the child version of his warnings.&lsq

MYLO When Marie and Terran arrived they were escorted to an accommodation close to us to get settled in. Dahlia was pacing back and forth as I fed Nora. Anxious, like myself, to get the next few days over with, but it shouldn’t be long before Alderic is back to get ready for supper. Supper would be a good distraction for her as she focuses on the royals, but it posed another level of worry for me. While the royals never posed a threat to us before, Wyatt was unpredictable at best and I haven't had contact with the heirs often enough to be able to judge their behaviours. Dahlia's eyes were slightly glossed over as she 'tidied' up the place, pausing at one point and staring out of one of the windows at the front.I pla

MYLO “Is she pissed?” Alderic asked as I stepped outside to wait for Dahlia. “No,” I shook my head, “but you’re lucky SHE was the one who submitted you.” “Yea that one’s on me,” he shook his head, "all this Alpha energy is making Leto brazen. You'd think he'd be the opposite, I mean he's no coyote," he looked at me and laughed lightly, tucking his hands into his pockets, "but he's used to being around it, we've done things like this since we were kids." Leto had a history of trying to outrank other leaders so it didn’t come to me as a surprise. What mattered most to me was that he was already tempering Leto before Dahlia made him submit and that I knew when it came down to it that he would lay down his life for her and Nora.
