Chapter 82 - Isaac
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Today I am being discharged from the hospital. Mathias had beaten the absolute shit out of me when I got back, not even listening to what I had to say. I am honestly lucky to be alive.
Mathias has come to visit me a few times since. He has never apologized, just asked me to tell him what happened.
I fed him the bullshit story Arya and I came up with. He was like a police interrogator, asking me to tell him the story over and over again, looking for inconsistencies. I’m not sure why he was doing it and not Gamma Blake. I never found out the answer to that.
Whatever I said seemed to at least appease Mathias and he let me come back to my previous position as a general. We had a meeting later today to discuss the new camps that had been set up at the Shadow, M**i, and New Moon pack territories.
I needed to get to my rooms and shower and change before that time. I smelled like the hospital and dirty dog.
owlonmywristHey friends - Again, I'm sorry about the mix up, but it's fixed now. Yay! The two updated chapters are both up (back up one and you'll get the first one). Sorry if I'm not as interactive this week. I'm giving two presentations at a national convention this week (eeek!!) and I'm stressing a little. But this won't effect you getting chapters. Enjoy and I'll see you soon!

War of Threes Chapter 83 - Arya
The ride back to Diana Pack is long and monotonous. It’s a blessing to be back and away from other people. They are all well meaning and worried about me, but I need to be alone. That includes being away from Devin and Xander. I love them both. More than anything in this world. But looking at them just reminds me of my failure. My failure to give them a pup. It’s like a gift from the Goddess that Zak needed them to come help with the planning of the rescue. Finally, I could be alone and binge on ice cream and chocolate syrup while bawling my eyes out. That is, until Lauren decided that she needed to stay with me. I love my mother-in-law. I swear, I really, really do. But, I have a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half-Baked calling my name and it wants to spend some alone time with me. That is, until she showed up with four pints of Ben and Jerry’s and two bottles of my favorite Riesling.

Zak and I have refused to let Charlie out of our sight since we’ve gotten back. The combination of just missing our mate and pups and Arya’s miscarriage has us feeling over-protective and, frankly, needy. But, we’re driving her insane. “Oh my Goddess! If you two don’t get out from under my feet, I’m going to start kicking your assess. Get the fuck out of the bathroom so I can pee in peace, BOTH OF YOU!” She is red-faced and wild eyed and she honestly looks really cute with her baby bump and wide-footed stance. “But Red – “ I start. “Brandon Nathaniel Snow, I swear to the Goddess on high, if you don’t get out of this bathroom right this second, I won’t do that thing with my tongue until these pups find their own mates!” I don’t want to say that I ran out of the bathroom, but I was not in there much longer and I pull Zak along with me. “Come on. I’m pretty sure if she’s threatening me with the tongue thing, it g

Two days after we return is the day before our wedding. I should be spending it at a stag party, drinking and partying with my friends. But, instead, I’m in another Alpha Council meeting, talking about how we will are going to get the families away from Mathias. I’m not mad. This needs to be done. But it shows me how much this cabrón (asshole) has affected our lives. Not only did he bring us to war and having to deal with uprooting our packs and families, but he also is interfering with some of the happiest times of our lives and times that we should be with and supporting each other. Charlie is pregnant and Brandon and Zak had to just leave her to fight Mathias’s men and will have to do so again soon. Arya just had a miscarriage and surgery. Though she is physical healthy, it’s easy to see how this experience has taken its

“So, what’s the problem?” I ask. “We can’t be gay!” Gregory bursts out. “It’s abhorrent! It’s disgusting! It’s – “ “It’s what the Mother ordained.” I interrupt. That stops him. He stares at me with a mixture of pain, fear, and hope. “Look, man. I know that Mathias and Ivan and their packs fucked with your heads about being gay. But as you can see from our group, it’s not a bad thing. Mathias has a lot of hate for gay men, but Mother Selene does not. Who are you going to side with?” Finally, Gregory and Jamal look at each other. There is so much longing in their eyes that it makes them almost hard to look at. “Oh, get up and go to your mate, you dumbass!” Karamea literally pushes Gregory out of his seat. He stumbles, finally breaking eye contact with Jamal to look back at Karamea. “Really?” He is

War of Threes Chapter 87 - Meredith
Today is my wedding day. With all of the craziness that is going on in our world right now, Hakeem and Gael have been my light in the darkness. I love them more than I ever thought possible. I am so excited that we will all share the same last name, along with the matebond. And I have a special surprise for them later.Carmen, Arya, Charlie, Sandra, Lily, Bhakti, Karamea, and Patrice are in the room with me as I get my hair and make-up done. Charlie insisted that I have them done professionally and I have been sitting here for what feels like hours as I’ve been primped and prodded to have my nails painted, hair removed from almost my entire body, a soothing massage, hair done, and make-up applied.Luckily, I’m not the only one. All of the girls were part of the process, even though we’ve only elected to have Zak, Kristoff, and Carmen up at the altar with us. Zak will be giving me away as the alpha
War of Threes Chapter 88 - Gael
Mi cielo has always been beautiful. There was never a time in her life that she wasn’t. But she’s never looked so ethereal. So stunning. All I want to do is look at her like this for the rest of my life. As she comes to a stop in front of us, all I feel in my own mind and through the matebond is pure and utter joy. “Please sit,” Declan tells everyone. It is only then that I notice that everyone had stood when Meredith had exited the packhouse. I had been so memorized by her beauty that I didn’t even realize. “Dear pack members, family, and friends, on behalf of our alpha, luna, and beta, I want to welcome you here, tonight.” Declan’s voice is loud and warm as he looks out on the hundreds of wolves that are seated in a circle around the altar. “Though they have already mated in the eyes of our Goddess and a full trio, they wish to combine their bloodlines, taking our alpha’s last name. In the sig
War of Threes Chapter 89 - Scenes from the Reception
While the pictures are being taken and Gael and Hakeem head upstairs to get their surprise, the reception begins. Outside, under the stars with the moon shining down, the omegas and wedding planners have set up a dancefloor, buffet tables, and tables for the hundreds of wolves to sit and eat. Champagne and alcohol flow freely and the hors d’oeuvres are delicious. The trios are spread throughout the reception.______________________________________DevinArya has been the happiest we’ve seen her in over a week. Her eyes sparkle, her face glows. She’s been getting better since her talk with my mom and I can’t help but wonder what they talked about. I haven’t asked. All I can do is thank my mother profusely. Our Arya is coming back to us.“Dance with me,” she says, pulling me and Xander onto the dance floor.

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
