I rush to her side. She is breathing, but I don't know what's wrong with her. Dad has her head in his lap as she starts to move. "Are you ok, baby?" dad is asking her. She blinks up at him like she is in shock. "Mom, are you ok?" she looks over at me as I ask. As soon as she looks at me, her eyes start to water as she tries to say yes, she is ok, but it is not convincing. Eventually, dad helps her up off the floor and into a chair. "I am ok," she says as everyone steps back to give them space. Dad looks at all of us "you can all leave now. We will talk about it more later after she is feeling better." So I give her a kiss on the cheek and head for the door. I head to the kitchen to get a drink. I smell Luca and Levi before I ever enter. They are both standing near the fridge with a mean look on their face. They both have their arms crossed over their chest. I genuinely notice for the first time the minor differences between them even though they are twins. Levi
Levi I left Luca in the kitchen and headed outside to get some fresh air. The thought of something happening to Raine makes my blood boil. What could this woman want, and is the man just a coincidence or is he in with the woman. I am on the training field before I even know it. I go to the punching bags we have hung from trees. I hit it so hard the first time that I think it had busted. But, I don't let up. I just keep delivering punch after punch. "Dang, what did that bag do to you?" I hear Donte say as he walks up. I only reply with, "Nothing just needed to work out." "That doesn't look like nothing. That looks like you had a fight with your brother and can't hit him." He laughs as he says it, and I can't hold it in, and I laugh too. "Yeah, there were a few times when he made me mad enough to bust a punching bag," I say as we laugh, thinking about it. Donte steps behind the bag to grab it " So tell me the truth, what has you beating the shit out of this poor bag?"
My Whole body is lighting up with sparks. Levi's lips feel so good against my skin. The way he nibbles on my neck and shoulder has my eyes rolling back. He keeps sucking at the base of my neck where you mark your mate. But, oh my Goddess, is he going to mark me? I lean back, looking him in the eyes, and I can see his wolf is close to taking control. " We can't do that yet, Levi," as the words leave my mouth, I see his eyes shift from my neck to my eyes. I grab his face so he can look into my eyes " soon, my love soon." Our lips are back on each other as soon as I finish the words. He tastes so good I can't think of anything but him. His hands go under my shirt and slide up my sides. He slowly goes up until he starts squeezing my breast. I can't stop the moan that goes into his mouth. The moan must have excited him more cause he stands and drops me on my back on the bed and crawls up me. He pulls my shirt up a
Luca I headed to the kitchen to grab a bite to eat when I heard Raine and her mom talking. Her mom mentioned a woman named Joceline. She must be the woman from the mall bathroom. I feel my stomach clench when Flo discusses Raine being careful and how she can't lose her. I walk in and just walk past them to the fridge. I inhale Raine's scent to help calm me down. The fragrance of lavender and honey engulfs me. She smells so good. I stand with the refrigerator door open, just breathing her in. Flo speaks first, "How are you doing, Luca?" "I'm good," I reply as I grab a bottled water and shut the fridge. I lean with my back against the counter, so I am looking at them both. Raine seems to have a blush on her face and seems like she can't look at me. I will have to figure out what that is about later, I think to myself. "Do we know anything about the people from the mall yet?" I ask them. Raine's face falls, and so does
I am lost in Luca. He is making my body spasm from the orgasms he is giving me. I scream out and lock my lips with his. He is a great kisser. Then, he pulls back and looks me in my eyes. I love the way I feel like I can see to his soul when I look in them. "You are amazing, Raine, and you feel so good." He says as he lets out pants and growls as he pushes in and out of me. I slide my hand down the side of his face while looking into his eyes, "I love you, Luca," I say. "I love you to baby." I give a push to his arm that causes him to roll to his side off of me. I move with him so he doesn't leave me, and I end up on top. He looks shocked as I look down at him and start to move my hips. "Ohhh, My Goddess," he says and leans his head back and starts meeting my movements. He is in perfect sink with me. He grabs my hips and starts to slam me down on him. I feel it coming. I know I am about to cum. "I am going to cum," I say, and he takes one hand off my hip and slides it between my legs
LeviI heard loud voices coming from downstairs. Raine's scent hit me before I made it to the bottom of the steps. I heard Luca scream, "I don't know what happened.". I jumped down the remaining stairs and head to the kitchen, where I hear them. When I enter, I see Raine lying on the floor, and my knees get weak as I rush to her. I slide down next to Luca, taking her in my arms as well. Flo is crying, and dad is trying to figure out what happened to her, sending the guards to patrol. "Luca, what the hell happen to her?" I say, not being able to control my emotions."I don't know exactly." "What the hell do you mean you don't know exactly?" "We were walking back, and when we got to the creek, there was a man on the other side. So I went to push her behind me, and then she was on the ground, and he was gone. I don't fucking know what happened." Just then, Raine's body starts to glow, and Luca and me both slide back away from her. Flo gasps in shock,
LucaHe truly pissed me off. If time is stopped and I am stopped with it, how am I suppose to do anything about it? I did not even know anything was happening. I thought this to myself as I headed out of the kitchen after talking to dad for a few minutes. As I am going to head upstairs, I see Levi storming out the front door. What the hell is his problem now? I look up the stairs and wonder, should I go up to Raine and see what happened or confront Levi? I decide that Levi pissed me off, so it's him. I head out the door and see him shifting and taking off. My wolf could use a run too, so I head to the edge of the forest and strip my clothes. I shift and shake out my fur. My wolf is happy to hunt him. He has a good head start, but it is not hard to follow his trail. His scent is getting stronger, so I know he has stopped. I slow so that I can try to take him by surprise. The scene that is in front of me shocks me. There is a black-haired woman on top of him, and th
I don't know why he has to keep pushing the marking. We all three have each other, and I am not ready to find out what everyone's reaction will be. I love them both, and I want nothing more than to be with them. I plop down on my bed and try to breathe. It is too much going on right now with everything. I start to feel a pain in my chest what is happening to me. I hear commotion from downstairs, so I get up and stick my head out the door. I hear mom and dad but only for a minute, and the door slams again. Is everyone fighting tonight? Mia is in the hallway, so I stop her. "What is going on?" I ask. "I am not sure, but that makes the second door slam I have heard tonight."As soon as she finishes speaking, a sharp pain goes through my chest, and I almost lose my balance. I grab the wall to keep from going to my knees. "OMG... are you ok, Raine?" Mia asks, but it hurts so bad I can not answer her. So
I hear my mom say how as Luca sits me down on a chair but keeps his hands on my shoulders, trying to help as much as he can. Then, finally, he speaks through the mind-link to me. "We have to tell them, Raine. It is the only way to save you and Levi right now. They have to know everything." Another sharp pain shoots through me, but this one knocks me out of the chair. Luca tries to catch me, but he is flung away from me when his skin comes into contact with mine. I look over toward where he flew to see him holding his chest. Mom is running to me, and Bastien is headed for Luca. The pain starts to ease a little again. Me and Luca both begin to crawl to one another. When we get to each other, I reach for him, but I hesitate. I don't want my touch to hurt him. He grabs my hand anyway. This time nothing happens. "Someone, please explain what the hell is going on," I hear Bastien say in his Alpha tone. I look to Luca But not for him to answer to tell him I will explain it to t
We let Jacob and Katie spend some time together. Jacob told her all about the guys saving everyone. He told her about the new house they were staying in and how everyone was friendly. It almost broke my heart when he told her they wouldn't be cold anymore that they could have a blanket. I learned about what had happened and how they had found the kids. Julie checked on Katie one more time and saw that everything was healed, and she was free to go to the house with the other kids. It took Jacob a few minutes to get her to agree to teleport with Chase. Before she was getting ready to leave, she thanked Julie for helping her. When Julie explained that I had healed her, she ran up and hugged me around my waist tight. She did not have to say anything. I felt the tear as it left my eye. "You will be ok now, honey," I told her, and she smiled at me as she walked back to Chase and Jacob to go to her new home."We will have to try and find the kid's homes and how they ended up the
I rush out of the room to my mother. I have to be there for her. She lost her mate again. I enter the room, and she is lying on the bed with Mia in her arms. I lay on the other side and wrap my arms around mia and mom. Mia is squished in the middle with her arms wrapped around mom. She starts to cry harder when I wrap my arms around her. Mom whispers that it's ok in her ear as she rubs her hair down. I had forgotten how powerful being a mother is. My mom has shown me my whole life. Here she is. She has lost her mate and still holds it together to comfort her child. I am lucky to have a woman like her as my mother. What the Goddess said plays in my head. She is right. She is the one that made my mother, and she is strong. She has endured so much, but she should not have to keep enduring like she is. I look over at mom, and my eyes meet hers. They are red and swollen from crying, and it breaks my heart even more. She gives me a small smile. "I am so sorry, mom" That Is all I can m
Levi,Luca walks off without us talking, and I know what he is feeling. I don't think Barrett deserves a proper funeral, but Chase and his family should be the ones to decide that. I did it for them, not Barrett. "We need to go get the kids and Emma from the treehouse," I tell Chase. I head to the house to get some of the women to get areas ready for the children. We have an orphanage, but it has not been many children there. With not many children, we didn't have but one woman who ran it, and she will need more help with this many children. It doesn't take long, and the women have gone to set up the orphanage, and we are headed to get the kids now that everything is safe and they have somewhere to stay. "Does Rod know that Emma has been here at the treehouse?" Chase asks as we make our way to the treehouse. "Yeah, he is already there and waiting on us," I tell him as we continue. I could hear laughing as we got closer. That's a good sign, I thin
Luca,The rage that came over me as I watched my father drop to the ground and his packlink snap was unbearable. The howl that left my body and the rest of the pack snaped something else in me. I could see Raine as I started to make my way to Barrett. He would pay for what he has done. I felt Levi on the other side of me, and his rage was as deep as mine. We both in sink went after our prey. I let my wolf take over. We take the bottom half of him while Levi takes the top. I sink my teeth into his leg and rip. I feel the blood enter my mouth, and I relish in it. I hear the bone snap and feel a force holding him there. As he hits the ground, I see Levi has ripped his throat out. I look over when I hear a commotion.Raine is walking, but flames surround her. I shift back and stand to watch. There are flecks of black in the fire. She is shooting flames at every person that is here with Barrett."We have to stop her," Chase says from beside me. I look back, and eve
I lock eyes with each of my mates as I look over the yard. I see the look of fear cross Chase's face as I am about to look away. But, I already know what is happening before it happens. Barrett has his arms around my chest again. I throw my head back, but this time, I don't connect. "Did you really think that would work twice?" He says in my ear. I look forward and see all my mates headed toward us. I am lucky to have these three incredible men by my side. I notice they stop moving toward us, and I feel my body being shoved forward by Barrett's body. His grip on me loosens, and I spin to see him turning and reaching for someone. They must have pushed him from behind, making him release me. Before I could manage to grasp what was going on, I saw who it was, my mom. I go to grab Barrett to keep him away from her, but he is faster than me. He grabs her, and they both vanish again. I hear a loud growl from behind me, but I already know who it is. Bastien knows his mate is in the han
The noises were coming from everywhere. I rushed toward the front of the house and to the front door. There were people in wolf form already. I stopped on the porch looking around. I saw a few of Kane's people fighting in human form, and they were holding their own well. Pack members were fighting alongside them. In the distance, I noticed a few warlocks headed toward the house. They raised their hands, and I saw blue sparks light up above their skin. I used my powers and pulled all the big rocks from the yard and hurled them in their direction. The two on the outside jumped to the sides, but the one in the middle was hit.I rushed down the steps and around the house. It looks like they came in from all directions. Is this what Barrett had planned all along? As I went further around the side, something hit me, and I was thrown forward and slid. Whatever hit me felt like a jolt of electricity. I rolled to the side, looking behind where I had been running. I saw a woman with long b
I hated the thought of them leaving, but we had to know if they were hiding Bastien and Emma at his base. There is still a lot that we can do here to get ready. Mom and Mia make their way over to me, and I am glad I could use their help in deciding what to do. "Hey, I am going to head back out and get all the warriors I have with me to move to the back yard and start doing some training exercises. Is that ok with you?" Kane says from behind me, catching me off guard. "Yeah, I think that is a good idea," I say, but mom cuts me off."I think the warriors from the pack and your group should do some training together. This will help since we may all be fighting together." Mom says, looking between Kane and me."I agree with mom. We will let the pack members know, and you can all train on the training grounds in the back.""Sounds like a plan," Kane says as he smiles at Mia and heads outside."So, what exactly is going on between you two?" Mom asked Mia precisely what
LeviWe made it into the house with no trouble, which is a little surprising. I stayed behind Joseph and watched behind us. The house is large. It is probably bigger than my house. What is weird is it seems too empty. Where are the hundred or more people that he has here? We slip down a passage that I am assuming leads to the basement. I still don't see anyone, and something really seems off."This way," Joseph says and heads down another hallway. I catch dad's scent, so I know they are here. Why is no one else here? We get to the end, and there is a massive door. We both put our ears to the door and listened, but I didn't hear anything. Joseph holds his fingers up to count till three, then we both push on the door to open it. I almost got sick at what I saw. Dad is strapped to the wall with silver cuffs around his wrist and ankles. There is a silver collar around his neck. I didn't hear him because they had him gagged. Emma is attached to the wall beside him in th
ChaseThis is the first time I have been to Barrett's place in a while. I try to stay away unless I have to. Joseph has been the one to do the spying and watch his numbers. Finally, we all gear up and are ready to head out. Levi seems like he is ok with me, but I am unsure about Luca. He seems to be more shut off. I know the way I came into the picture was not the best, but I don't want to cause Raine any hardship with either of them. Joseph comes walking up, letting me know he is ready."We need to pop in a little away and go in on foot," Joseph says, and he is right."Yes, I was planning on it. We need to get in and find out what we can and get out. Barrett may even expect us to do something like this. With him having both of them, he will have more security too, I would think." I tell Joseph. "Yes, and I don't want to cause any more issues and get back here as soon as possible, so let's get this over with," Luca says as he and Levi come walking up to
