We'd been taught as children how to keep our defences up and control our tells, but they were easier to control when you were on alert and in front of people you had to be guarded in front of. Being in front of family was a whole other thing because they knew you intimately. It was dad's ultimate test, if you could hide your reactions from each other, you could hide them from anyone.
He was dressed formally for the Alpha meeting and his hazel eyes were intimidating when he was laid back, never mind when he was in full Alpha mode. I could see why the she-wolves in any pack I went to talked about him, he was dangerous

MYLO Marie. This little sister of mine was the only one, besides Miah maybe, that could get away with pushing back at me like she did. I could see the same fire in her eyes that all the Krul children had, but there was a sense of untouchability to her. I suppose it was my own fault, growing up Alderic and I had always placed her and Ainsley on a pedestal with us, it gave them a false sense of position and power which has only become a problem as of late. She looked stunning as I hand-delivered her to Mato. Her green eyes caught the attention of the two other guards who were to follow them around. They quickly diverted their attention, but I couldn't fault them. Marie’s eyes matched my father’s, only rivalled in their deep intensity by the eye colouring of the r

MYLO “We no longer go to such extremes, Dixon, and wolves are not Fae. I think we should keep an eye on this problem and revisit it.” Without a word, Alderic is up and escorting Dallas back into the building at my request. “Hold your tongue,” I challenged Dallas, “or you’ll find yourself hard-pressed to be able to use it.” Alexander stood up, bulking and breathing heavily so I matched his stance, I was larger than anyone here and I had every confidence in Kai’s fighting abilities. “Fae are the ones being made into blood bags as a source of drugs for the increasing Vamp population,” I continued, “something you should consider as being the larger problem here. Fae don’t have time or resources to challenge us when they are too busy running from the Vamp’s and they never have to begin with.” I turned my at

MARIEMato was all but dragging me around, pausing every so often to survey the passing people and give himself enough time to take in the scents around him. The only fun part of this was catching glimpses of the games going on and being able to snag some cotton candy. Thankfully I had Ainsley to drag onto a few rides with me during Mato’s pauses, and it seemed to pass the time quickly.With no scent, I was confident that I wouldn’t attract my mate, but there was always that chance. I’ve heard stories of mates knowing who their mate was before they were even old enough to have wolves, my mother being one of them, and mates being drawn to each other no matter what, like the queen and her kings, but I had to push those thoughts to the back of my mind. Surely those were extreme circumstances, I mean the queen was an Alpha, and my mother is a pretty

ALDERIC Leto wasn't thrilled when I shifted back into control. He had spent the better part of two days redirecting Kai back to Timber, and now that we were finally home he didn’t trust that Kai wouldn’t just take off again. I’m surprised he got him to come back at all, but the promise of more wolves, our best tracker, and the safety of our sisters is all that coaxed him here. I can’t say I would do any differently, he was desperate for the scent of his mate, and the rejection… the rejection. I can’t understand why someone would immediately reject their mate. I wasn’t about to talk suspicions with Mylo, but she could already be with someone she considers a mate but hasn’t marked, or she could be the kind who doesn’t believe in mates, hell, she could even be a Marie. She believes in mates, she just doesn’t wa

MARIEThe panic in my chest subsided as quickly as it came on. Their howls in the distance were my only assurance that Mylo wasn't coming up here for me. I would do anything for him, but I could never forgive myself if my visions led him astray.The door crept open and exhaustion filled me as my mother slipped into the room. It was better than anyone else, but I didn't need any more guilt trips today."I didn't know anything," I rolled my eyes, "regardless of what Mato thinks.""I didn't ask," she said, placing herself on the bed beside me, "and I had a conversation with your brother," she waited for me to look at her, "he wants what's best for you, even if he goes about it the wrong way."An acknowledging but unsur

MARIEI’ve been waiting to hear more news now for four days, and with not even a phone call from Alderic, things have been tense around my brothers.I made a decision in the garden to stop pushing my powers away and I’ve been trying to warm up to the idea ever since. I've been thinking about Mylo and about what his mate would be like to entice something to come to me, but I just can’t control them.Matt walked into the kitchen at lunch and looked like he’d seen better days. His auburn hair that was usually slicked back had fallen messily around his face, making it worse the more he played with it. The bags under his eyes made him look much older than fifteen as he plopped himself down in the chair opposite me. He looked at me like he was deep

MYLO It’s been over four weeks since I’ve laid eyes on her, thirty-four days to be exact, but every time I close my eyes… there she is. Her blue-green eyes drawing me in like the ocean themselves, pulling me under as her words took the breath from my lungs. I’ve replayed that moment too many times to count, the way my body was bulking in anticipation, inviting her to come and claim what is hers. The way the sun broke through the tree canopy, falling on her like an Angel delivered to Earth and highlighting the golden tones in her hair that rippled so perfectly in the wind. My utter adoration of her is what ultimately failed me. I didn’t notice the panic in her eyes. I didn’t notice the fear riddled in her motions. She was scared of something, and as her mate,

MATOKane running loose did nothing to ease my tension. It felt closed in here, waiting and never knowing what the next update from Alderic would be. I wanted to believe that if Mylo found his mate that she would come back here, but the reality was that the situation was unpredictable at best.I can't stay asleep anymore. I wake up too often wishing I could be useful in finding our rightful Luna, wishing I could do anything really to help. Now that Tayo was back, there wasn't much need for my help here. He would find things for me to do like helping with training, perimeter sweeps, even throwing me on patrol, but in the end, my help wasn't truly needed there.As I walked into the house I could hear the girls laughing about something in the kitchen. It was nice to hear someone in a good mood for once, even though

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.
