Chapter 114 - Arya
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I stay in the Alpha Council while my mates go to complete their task. This way, I can take notes and report back to them later tonight.
After a few minutes, we turn our attention back to Naomi. She has a thoughtful look on her face. “Is this how you run things around here? No squabbling? No power plays?”
“Yes,” responds Zak, a knowing look on his face. We hear this every time that a new person comes into our fold. They don’t get how well we work together. How we just want what is best for all, not what is best for us.
She studies us in silence for a few minutes and we allow it, smiling back at her.
Finally, she nods. “As soon as Nathan is here, I want us to break ties with the Meteoric Rise Pack. I want to join one of the packs here.”
Zak’s smile widens. “Do you know which one?” I see his eyes briefly flick to Sandra and I think he knows which one Naomi is going to pick.
owlonmywristHey friends! - Thanks for your understanding. After making ~700 cookies this weekend, I died a bit and didn't have a chance to write for Monday. I'm going to update with two more chapters later tonight for a total of four chapters today, but wanted to give you something now. See you soon!

War of Threes Chapter 115 - Charlie
Five weeks later, we’ve moved into new cabins that have been built along the Georgia/Alabama border. The main part of the Artemis Pack is just outside of Jasper, Georgia, though we were spread out so that there was no more than 10 miles between the outer houses of packs. It made it so that we could cover the whole area, but also had some space to ourselves. Though we had enjoyed our time on Diana Pack’s territory and I missed walking across the hall to see my friends, wolves aren’t meant to be that cooped up. We are meant to be with our packs, our family, but beyond that, we typically stay away from others, like our wolf parts. The only thing that kept us together for so long was that so many of us found family within the other packs. In fact, so many of our pack members have told me how much they missed the hustle and bustle that was the Diana Pack that all of the other lunas and I decided to throw a welcome party at our pack next week.&n
War of Threes Chapter 116 - Brandon
I dumbly nod my head at my mate. I have no doubt in the world that Charlie, even though she is nearly a foot shorter than me, could rip off my balls and feed them to me if she wanted to. This chick can get scary. If it weren’t for the current situation, I’d be kind of turned on. As it is, I quickly pull my phone out of my pocket and dial Lily. Charlie grabs the phone from my hand and puts it on speaker. After two rings, Lily answers, obviously laughing at something one of her mates said. “Hey Brandon, what’s up?” “It’s Charlie. Contractions are three and a half minutes apart and nearly one minute long.” Lily’s voice is suddenly all business. “Have you lost the mucus plug?” “Not that I could see.” Just then, Charlie’s eyes widen in surprise. I look down and see that her pants have suddenly darkened with fluid. “But my water just broke.” “Get to the hospital. I’ll
War of Threes Chapter 117 - Xander
We are woken up from around 12:30 by a text message. All three of us were on the 11-7 patrol shift last night and we were exhausted. I roll over and slap at my phone.Of course, it promptly falls in the floor.“Fuuucccckkk!” I whine out.I roll so that I’m half hanging off the bed, my legs still tangled in the sheet and someone else’s legs. I put one hand on the floor and start searching for the phone. I groan again when I realize that it’s gone under the bed.As I reach for it, I lose my balance and fall to the floor.“What the fuck are you doing, Xan?” Arya asks, her voice muffled by the pillow that she has face planted into.“My phone,” I mumble, rubbing my head and reaching under the bed to grab it. When I open it, I see I have a text message from Karamea.“Oh, shit!” I say, suddenly alert.“What is it?” Dev calls, bo
War of Threes Chapter 118 - Brandon
“Mike, get four warriors and move everyone to the basement of the hospital. Keep them safe! Especially your new luna and beta,” Zak orders. “Yes, alpha,” Mike says. “Charlie, do you think that you can keep this forcefield up?” I ask her. I’m looking for signs of fatigue, sweat beading on her face, weariness in her posture. None of it is there. It’s almost as if her fury at the attack is fueling her power. “Yes!” she answers fiercely. “I just don’t know what will happen if you move me.” Suddenly, Meredith walks into the room. “It’ll be fine. Selene has told me that anyone who gets their gifts during this attack is going automatically get full control over them. They’ll still need to practice to learn everything they can do with it, but it won’t strain them like it did us when we first started. She’ll be able to keep the forcefield up as long as you need her to. She’ll just need food to k
War of Threes Chapter 119 - Liam
I’m in the council area with Meredith, Gael, Hakeem, Diego, Bhakti, Karamea, and Sandra. We’re hearing from our scouts about their latest raid on Julian’s pack through a teleconference.“You know we took out the McKinney and Conroe stations over the last two weeks. Nothing seemed weird until we completed our attack on the Amarillo station. There is no one here.” The general, Harley, says.“What do you mean?” I ask.“Just what he says, Liam. The station is completely empty,” Harley’s lieutenant general, Joanie, replies.“It looks like they had cleared out in a hurry, too.” Harley’s voice is as perplexed as all of the faces around me are.“Did you catch their scent? See any sign of where they could have gone?” Hakeem asks.“They definitely headed south, our thought is to the main packhouse, based on what the
War of Threes Chapter 120 - Naomi
I hear his howl. The howl I’d heard at the beginning of so many battles. The howl I’d heard prior to hunts, for game and for punishments. The howl I’d heard when he first realized that I was his mate. The howl that I hear in my nightmares and I’m sure that Nathan hears as well. Julian. He’s here. At first, my fear threatens to overtake me. I let it wash over me, breathing through it. One of the things that we found out about Gael’s gift is that the more it is used, the more lasting the effects are. Since the first time that he used it on me at the Alpha Council meeting, Sandra set me up with a therapist and one for Nathan. Between twice weekly visits to the therapist and two to three visits per week with Gael, both of us are better able to control our fear. As the fear passes, a fierce sense of protectiveness for Nathan and my new pack and friends crashes over me. And anger. So much anger.
War of Threes Chapter 121 - Zak
Julian makes his way through the battle to us, slicing at any wolf that comes close to him. I feel the twinges of pain as pack members die, their link severing to our pack. The pain will be stronger later, when my adrenaline has died down. It’s purposefully like this during a battle so that I know that pack members are in trouble, but it doesn’t distract me from what I am facing myself. My mates will both feel the same twinges, as our pack is tied to them just as much as it’s tied to me. Hopefully, Charlie’s adrenaline is up as high as mine since she just finished childbirth and she is keeping the forcefield up. Otherwise, she’ll feel it more.I can tell by the slight intakes of breath and flinches that the other alphas and their mates are feeling the same twinges I am.But Julian seems to be basking in it. I know that he has to feel some of his pack dying. I’ve seen them die. But
War of Threes Chapter 122- Gael
I’m using all of my Goddess gift to frighten the enemy wolves on my side away from Julian and Zak. At the same time, I’m reinforcing our allies’ courage and determination to protect our packs and keep us safe. Many of the wolves are using the forcefield to kind of bounce the enemy off of. The harder they bounce, the harder and farther they fall. Many wolves are being telekinetically thrown or are stumbling over unseen obstacles. Some enemies suddenly find their bones snapping when they cross a certain boundary, while others forget why they are there and stop moving in the middle of the battlefield. I hear Julian taunting Zak and I can feel my friend’s anger rise. Unfortunately, there’s not much I can do to help him since I’m controlling moving targets on my side. I’ve got to keep my focus out here. Zak’s got to take care of himself. Suddenly, I hear Julian’s threat. “Gladly. And after I kill you and your mal

War of Threes Chapter 133 - Zak
“When did you see him, Lauren? When exactly did he leave? Where did he go?” I’m screaming, unable to keep my panic at bay.“He was here about 45 minutes ago. He left at almost exactly 4:40,” Lauren is sobbing, trying to remember all of the details.“He said that he was going through the forest path,” Carl says, putting on his shoes to come help us look.“He must have been getting flowers for Charlie. That means that he was going by the pond,” I murmur.We pour out of the house, running to the back of the house, Dev, Arya, Charlie, and me. Everyone else is already out searching for Brandon. Where the hell is he?We run to the pond and it’s like a mini natural disaster happened. A tree is moved, like it literally took a step out of the ground. The dirt is overturned and the tree’s roots are pulled from the ground. The branches
War of Threes Chapter 132 - Brandon
One Month Later…This month has been fucking insane, not just because my mates and I have barely had any sleep because of the pups. I mean, we are blessed that there are three of us, but there are two pups. Two. We feel like freaking zombies.Did you know that newborn pups eat every two hours? Not two hours between feedings. Two hours from when they start. I shit you not. Charlie feeds them both at the same time, but between getting them up, changed, fed, and back to sleep, it’s at least a half hour process. So every hour and a half, we’re up. I love Jerry and Christy, I really, really do. But, fuck kids, sleep!Our parents saw how insane we were and they also knew how important this time was for all of the packs as we were trying to sort out leadership while attempting to find CCS, who had gone strangely quiet
War of Threes Chapter 131 - Arya
I’m in shock at that last little tidbit that the Mother throws at us. I just stand there, gaping at her.Devin pulls me into his arms, literally jumping up and down while holding me and whooping with wordless excitement.Mother Selene smiles even wider, laughing her tinkling laugh as the full weight of her words hit me.No, it won’t be the same. There will still be grief when we wake up tomorrow morning and he isn’t there. When our pups are born without him standing next to me. When we have to discipline the pups, or have a fight with each other, or take down CCS. When our pups say their first words, or have their first day at school, or find their own mates.No, it won’t be the same. But at least we will see him. We can hold him. We can hear his voice and see his smile again, not just in our memories.It’s better than the nothingness that I thought we would have, the bla
War of Threes Chapter 130 - Devin
I think I’m still sitting on the ground with Arya cradling me, but honestly, you could have told me that I had just been launched into outer space for a mission to Mars and I would have believed you. All I can see were the black depths of Selene’s eyes. I can’t hear anything but the roaring in my ears. I can’t feel anything but an intense chill. Demi-gods. Fucking demi-gods? Arya is the first of the two of us to find her voice. “You’ve got to me shitting me!” she whisper-shouts at the Mother. “Demi-gods? What the hell do you mean?” “You both have had so much pain in your lives.” Arya gives a dry snicker at that, but Selene continues, looking to me first. “Devin, you’ve dealt with feeling that you had to hide who you were, hiding your love for your first mate, all to appease some antiquated thought of what leadership should be. Arya…” The Mother gives a large, deep sigh. She cups her mouth and n

“You told me I would be safe here! That Mathias would have no control over my life if I joined the Artemis Pack!” I scream at the Goddess, spit flying and my face heating with my rage. I jump off of the pyre and take large strides toward Selene. “Does this look fucking safe to you?” I fling my hands back toward our mate’s lifeless body on the pyre.“Arya, I – “ Mother Selene starts, but I’m not done.By now, I have crossed the distance between us and am face to face with the Goddess inhabiting Declan’s body. “First, you take away my family and force me into that den of assholes, homophobes, and rapists. Then you put me in a situation where I had to reject my mates and allow my ‘packmates’ to beat the fuck out of me. But then you tell me that I’m safe and that Mathias won’t hurt me again.”I step into the Goddess’s inhabi
War of Threes Chapter 128 - Brandon
I stand behind Arya, Devin, and Xander’s mom’s chairs. Zak is to my left, directly behind Devin, and Charlie is seated directly behind Arya. They are holding Jared and Christine, bundled up against the night chill. All of our friends and family are gathered around us: Lauren, Clara, Meredith, and the other she-wolves around Arya and Xander’s mom, and Richard, Carl, and the other alphas around Devin. The pyres are set up in front of us. Arya and Devin have barely spoken since we found them. We still don’t know exactly what happened, only that Arya is Luna and Xander is gone. They sit, dried eyed, just staring at the wooden bed where their mate lays. The family members of the deceased are all dressed in white in their mourning, but Devin and Arya are both dressed in a deep forest green. One of the few things that Arya said was that her family dressed in the favorite color of the one who passed on. It was a way to honor th
War of Threes Chapter 127 - Zak
Brandon and Hakeem stay with Devin, Arya, and Xander’s body while Gael and I slowly make our way to where the battle just stopped. There are a few skirmishes here and there, but nothing that our wolves can’t handle. Some wolves from the Blue Crescent Pack don’t like that they have a new alpha or that she’s a female or that she is…was mated to two males. Fuck ‘em. I don’t care what they like. Now that they’ve stopped fighting our people, they can go rogue or we can imprison them or we can kill them. It honestly doesn’t matter to me. This ache in my soul won’t go away. I’m missing my friend, my brother. Zak? Brandon? What happened? Charlie asks through the mindlink. We had kept our connection open throughout the battle, so Charlie knew everything that had we had shown her. But the severing of Xander’s bond with us had cost us a lot of energy and having the link open constantly was too draining.&
War of Threes Chapter 126 - Brandon
After linking Xander and Devin, we shift and run into the forest to aid our allies. We leave Naomi behind, taking control of her pack. She has mindlinked them all, ordering them to stop fighting. Most of them have stopped, but because she hasn’t officially taken control of the pack and had them swear fealty to her, they don’t have to listen. And not all of them do. There are some who thrived under Julian’s rule and are pissed. They are only a small group, but they are made up of some of the fiercest warriors that Julian had. And they have gone into the forest to help support Mathias. The good thing is that Jeb’s warriors had been absorbed into Julian’s, so by killing him, we took control of two-thirds of the warriors. And they were also pissed. They never wanted to be a part of this, let alone have their pack taken over by the “Bloody Rogue Prince,” their pet name for Julian. They had been pissed that Jeb ha
