Chapter 31: Last Words

RIEKAWhen Alpha Leon admitted that his cousin called him from the US, I just knew that this was the break we needed to learn more about the legend surrounding my family. I hoped that the alpha would be willing to share more details about the conversation he had with his cousin during the last phone call, but my heart also broke for him, and I was afraid to press him for information.“How was he when he called?” I questioned hesitantly. “Was he well?”Alpha Leon sighed, “He sounded happy, but I could sense a tension in him, like he was holding himself on a tight leash…”The alpha trailed off and we waited patiently to see if he would continue.‘Did your aunt Meri ever say anything about meeting someone?’ Aleksandr asked me through the mind-link.‘Not that I can recall, but there was a time shortly before her death when she seemed happier… Whenever my parents would ask her about it, she always responded that it was just because work was going really well.’Thinking back to those l

Chapter 32: No More Secrets

ALEKSANDR I knew it. He was giving us information to build trust, just waiting for his opportunity to turn it around and force us to open up as well. We didn’t really have much choice at this point. We either come clean about our reasons for seeking him out, or risk being labeled untrustworthy. A reputation like that can be very damaging to an alpha. Even an alpha with a good reputation is welcomed cautiously, but if an alpha displays questionable behavior during a visit, word spreads quickly and all packs immediately become icy towards him. If the behavior continues to be suspicious, packs become outright hostile. It shouldn’t be that way, but when alpha males gather, the urge to show dominance is overwhelming and only the most controlled alphas can resist and be cordial. Alphas who can’t, doom their packs to isolation and, ultimately, failure. We may all be separate packs, but we rely on our ability to operate amicably and support one another during tough times to survive.

Chapter 33: After Lunch

RIEKAThe food they prepared was incredible. I didn’t know what the dishes were, but they all tasted amazing. Once my stomach was satisfied, I realized that I felt less on edge and suspicious of Alpha Leon and Luna Imogen. A few more pack members ended up coming back to the packhouse and everything started to feel a bit more normal.After meeting a few ranked wolves and several pack members Luna Imogen showed us to our rooms so we could rest after our long day of travel. Although I felt exhausted, I wasn’t actually sleepy.Aleksandr and I both showered and then dressed. If we were going to be stuck here a couple of day, we’d have plenty of time alone, and I really was exhausted. After dressing in my warmest clothes, I found a thick blanket to wrap myself in while he went to the pack house library to see if he could find any helpful books for us to review while we’re stuck here.Unsure what to do with myself, I sat on the sofa looking out the window. The snow was no longer comin

Chapter 34: Instinct

RIEKAThe nap was not restful at all, and the dreams that plagued me were the most frustrating yet. They were all about the kids. They were in danger, but I couldn’t figure out who they needed to be protected from. It was always something unseen or shadowy figures, but there was most definitely a threat, maybe more than one.I woke to Aleksandr’s warm arms comforting me, and his gentle voice whispering reassurances.“It’s ok, love, it’s just a dream. You’re safe. The kids are safe. Everything’s going to be alright.”Blinking away the last remnants of the dream, I look up into his emerald, green eyes, “How can you be so sure that everything will be ok? If they are visions or predictions of the future, then everything isn’t going to be okay, and the kids aren’t safe.”Even as I way saying it, I knew it wasn’t true, but I still felt exhausted after my nap, and it felt like my brain wasn’t fully functioning. I have no idea how long I slept, but however long, it wasn’t enough.“Bec

Chapter 35: More Dreams

RIEKA Despite my prayers and pleading for restful sleep, the dreams returned. I have no idea how long I slept before they invaded my mind, but it was one after another. Whenever the dream would change from one scene to another it was as if the world did a quick spin on an unnatural angle and way too fast. The constant shifting almost made me feel nauseous. In the first dream, we were all back home at the Silver Eclipse Pack. It was comfortable and we were happy. Dustin and Drea were there with little Link, but he wasn’t so little anymore. He was crawling around and cooing at everyone. Aria and Eden were fawning over him and trying to make him laugh. Ace and Calvin were busy with their own wrestling game across the living room. Aleksandr and I were seated together on the sofa, and as I looked around the room smiling, I noticed that Lis was missing. I turned to my husband to ask where his mother was, but the room was suddenly empty. Jumping from my seat, I began calling out

Chapter 36: The Woods Are Calling

ALEKSANDR Running through the trees in wolf form was refreshing, but it still didn’t sate my wolf. He kept pushing forward like he had a specific destination in mind, but we’ve never been here before. He couldn’t possibly know where he was going. Still, he seemed so certain, that I allowed him the control to take me where he thought we needed to go. The snowfall had lightened to flurries, and the thick layer of fresh powder covering the forest floor made my movements completely silent while reflecting the moonlight to make everything easily visible. I hoped there was nothing out here that I needed to stay hidden from, because my black fur was a stark contrast against the white snow, even in the middle of the night. Weaving between trees and jumping over a small, mostly frozen stream, I found myself approaching a ridge that looked out over the other mountain peaks in the area. The silence should have felt deafening, but instead it was peaceful. As I surveyed the landscape befor

Chapter 37: The Missing Alpha

ALEKSANDROnce the spell had been lifted, I let my nose lead me back to the pack house. I could smell the trail back clearly, but for some reason it was taking longer than it should have to return.It felt like there were eyes on me, but every time I looked around, the forest was peaceful and calm. No sound, no movement, not even a hint of the creatures who dwell in the forest. Something about that didn’t sit right with me. It shouldn’t be this quiet.I stopped running and decided to nudge at my mate’s mind to see if she was awake, but I hit a wall. Was she blocking me? I pushed harder, but the wall was too strong. Something is wrong. Rieka would never block me from her mind, but even if she felt like she needed to for some reason, she wouldn’t be strong enough to keep me out if I pushed.Looking around the forest again, I noticed some other things that were off. The position of the stars hadn’t changed. I’ve been out here for a few hours, and the stars should have moved by

Chapter 38: The Half-Breed

RIEKA This was ridiculous. They were just going to let this vampire-witch keep my husband trapped in his own mind. They weren’t even going to try and negotiate for his release or rescue him. I know my husband is one of the strongest werewolves in America, so I had a hard time believing that this Jacinda could hold him against his will for very long. Still, I couldn’t just sit here and wait for him to come strolling back into the Blue Ridge pack house. “Can I take this book?” I questioned with a bit more attitude than I intended. The luna nodded and without waiting for further instructions, I spun on my heel and walked out of the office. Asher and Sebastian followed closely behind me. We passed through the kitchen where Ash was sitting and eating with Alpha Leon. They both paused and looked at me, and without saying a word, I knew that they were both aware of what was going on. I clenched my jaw and fixed my gaze on the door at the other side of the room. Then, I walked stra

Chapter 39: To the Rescue

RIEKA The information in this book was terrifying. Apparently, Jacinda inherited powers from both of her parents, allowing her to project images into your mind, seduce anyone with her words and touch, and cast spells with the greatest of ease. She was also a seer who could interpret the past and predict the future with far more accuracy than had ever been recorded in history. Everything in the book matched what Luna Imogen had told me about Jacinda not coming to the pack lands very often, but it was also clear that she was a very powerful being who had been rejected by everyone except her own mother. A part of me felt compassion for her. How does someone survive alone, knowing that everyone hates you and fears you, and the one person who didn’t is gone? For most people, losing a loved one is hard, but it gets easier to cope over time. How different is the grieving process when you have no one else? My heart went out to her, but a bigger part of me, the part that missed my husb

Chapter 40: Lost & Alone

RIEKAI stood there shocked. I couldn’t believe that my guards had both just abandoned me. This had to be the work of Jacinda. Was she hoping I would die out here, all alone?We were already feeling a bit lost, and now Sebastian was gone, along with the book. Not only did I have no idea how to find the cottage, but now I also didn’t know how to find my way back to the Blue Ridge pack house.For a moment I wanted to sit down and cry, but I immediately thought of my children. They would not lose their mother this way. I would find my husband and then we would return to the kids and never come back to the God-forsaken Mountain.Wiping the tears from my eyes, I stood and looked around again. The wind had died down and the forest was eerily quiet. I stood there praying for a sign to point me in the right direction, but nothing changed.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, listening for any sound that might indicate life in this dead quiet place. I small gust of wind blew again
