After our shower, we all three hit the bed and sighed. It had been a long day. Luca and Levi both put their arms around me and pulled me closer to them. I took a deep breath, and their scent relaxed me. As much as I wanted to sleep, their hard bodies pressed against mine had my body lighting up. I had started to rub my hand up Luca's chest feeling every ripple of his muscles. I felt Levi rubbing up against my hip.
"Is someone not sleepy now?" Luca asked in a deep breath. Instead of answering him, I continued to rub his chest, moving lower. Finally, he let out a low growl, and I felt his hand move over my chest, squeezing my breast. Levi squeezed my ass, making me moan. I wanted both of them. I reached my other hand back and started rubbing over Levi feeling his heat. I felt the cover come off, and before I knew it, I was on my back."You want us Mate?" Levi asked as he started to move down the bed. I could not answer, so I shook my head in a yes motion."Tell us whaI had enough of all the vague explanations of what was going on with all of us. Everyone says we are in danger, but no one tells us what danger we are in or how to avoid it or stop it. "Please listen to me. I know you are upset about not getting all the answers you want. I will be coming to your pack, but it will be a few more days before I can be there. So I have come to you now so that you can be on watch. I will have more information for you when I am there. What I will tell you now is that you are looking at going to war with many races." Barrett tells us. I think he can tell my frustration. "So you will be coming to the pack then?" Levi speaks up, asking him. "Yes, I will be there in a few days. I have to take care of a few things before I can safely come to your pack." "OK, will you be able to give us answers when you come?" I ask him cause that is what I am most worried about at the moment. I am sure I am not the only one that is wanting answers.
GraysonI hated to leave out from the Blue Blood Pack without a formal goodbye, at least. I got a call from my pack that I was needed back as soon as possible. I let Piper know what was going on and would come back as soon as we had everything taken care of. What I was not expecting was to go home to a pack full of chaos. Two of my back members were found dead near our borders. One was a young pack member named Brian. He was only seventeen. The other was one of my best warriors. Tommy had been on patrol the night before but never made it home. He had a wife and two young children. This is not how I wanted Piper to meet the pack. We both left the pack house with my beta and a few warriors. "Do they know who did this yet?" Piper asked and took me out of my train of thoughts. "Not yet we are going to see if there are any clues left where their bodies were found.""OK, hopefully, we will find something." She said as we continued to walk. We had not been her
PiperI climb on his back, and he takes off to the border. His fur feels so soft under my hands. As he picks up speed, I grip him tighter and bury my head in his fur. The wind running over my body is exhilarating. I have never felt so alive. Grayson is what has always been missing in my life. I would do anything to protect him. That includes protecting our new pack. Wow, I can't believe I call them my pack. They are my pack, though, because Grayson is mine."Yes, I am yours. I will always be yours, and since I am yours, the pack is yours to firefly." Grayson tells me through our link. I love the nickname he has given me. I feel him slowing down, so I lean up to look where we are now. The pack lands are so beautiful. I never got to go out much while Joceline held me. I could stay out here all day and just look at the beautiful surroundings. "This is the border," Grayson tells me as he comes to a stop. I slide off his back and walk in front of him. I dig into the gro
The last two days have been very hectic. We have moved Kane and his people close to the packhouse. I think they have even built several small buildings for them to use right here at us. The children and most of the women have moved into the packhouse. Everything has been going well. They will start school with the other pack children next week. That is if everything is safe for them too. I miss school now, and things are nothing like before my birthday. I miss only worrying about getting to school on time and doing school work. We expect Barrett to be here today or tomorrow. He did not give us an exact day that he would be showing up. I wish he would hurry up so I can get some answers to what is going on. We all have been on edge trying to ensure that everyone is safe and getting everyone set up to be closer to us and safer. It makes it hard to figure out how to stay safe when you don't know what you are trying to stay safe from. " Bitch, what are you doing." I hear my best fr
LucaWatching Raine lay there and not know if she is ok or not is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I wanted to scream at her to wake up, but I also wanted to wrap her in my arms and never let her go. Levi got the call that Emma's car had crashed right outside the pack lands from dad. He said the border patrol had called him saying they heard a crash and screams. They had rushed to the sound but found no one but Raine. When Raine finally started to open her eyes, I could breathe. But, unfortunately, that was short-lived when she began screaming for Emma. I am standing here watching Levi try to console her. Her cries are breaking my heart."WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?" I hear being screamed from behind me and hear the scuffle of people. I look back to see Rod trying to get past some border guards. I head for him to calm him down before he hurts someone. "Calm down, Rod, we are going to find her.""What the hell happened? Where is she?" He asks, and I ca
The shower felt fantastic, but I couldn't take my mind off of Emma. Where is she? Who has her? She is my best friend, but really she is more than that. She has been more like a sister. Mia is my sister by blood, but Emma has been my sister by choice. I have to find her and bring her home. I can only imagine how Rod is feeling. I was worried sick when Joscelin took Levi, but at least I knew who had him. I had some answers. We have no idea who took Emma or why. I didn't take my time showering. I hurried to get to the meeting and see if Barrett could give us some answers. When I left the bathroom, Luca and Levi were both sitting staring at the door. "Are you two ok?" I asked as I walked to the closet to grab some clothes to put on. "Yes, we were waiting on you to get out of the shower to make sure you are ok," Luca says, and I can see the worry etched on their faces. "I am ok but I will be better when we find out who has Emma, and we get her home." I continue on
"Ok, we are going to listen to what Barrett has to say. I want everyone to listen. Then, we can ask questions when he is done. Does everyone understand?" Bastien says as he looks around the room. We all give the nod to show that we understand. But, I want to know what is happening and why. "Everyone, I am Barrett. I am the king of the Warlocks. I have heard the prophecy of the light since I was born, and even though I might look like, I am thirty that has been a few centuries of hearing this same tale." Wait, he is how old. I think to myself because he really doesn't look over thirty."The prophecy speaks of a hybrid being born between an angel and another supernatural." He says but pauses to look at me."They have looked for this hybrid for centries as well, and I do believe the prophecy is coming to fruition. My family has been among those looking and keeping an eye out for the keeper of light. The prophecy says that a Nephilim will be born and be the bringer of li
LeviWho in the fuck does this guy think he is. First, he sends a box with hair from Emma and my sister with a dead animal in it. Then he has the nerve to send sexy lingerie to my mate. I want to kill him or anything right now. I want to let my anger out, but Raine needs Luca and me to keep a level head right now. I know my dad and Flo need us right now too. Their baby girl was just taken right from under our nose. How did they even get her to leave? She knows everything going on right now. Even if Emma got her, I don't see her just walking into danger. Why would Emma come here and not tell us and stay so we could help her. None of this makes sense at all. Finally, Raine is feeling ok enough to walk back inside. We kept her from looking in the box. Luca used his body to block it so she couldn't see anything in it. That wouldn't help her any. I helped Raine up the stairs to make our way to her room. Luca stayed back to talk to dad and Flo to see if they knew anything els
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
