We could have linked the kitchen for a meal to be brought up. It would have been easier and I could have stayed a in bed and been a gremlin. I wanted to stay comfy in bed and wait for Jake to come back. I wanted to stay in Viktor’s arms and have dinner in bed. I knew I needed to get up and walk around, so when he stood up and put me down on my feet I didn’t complain. When he offered me his hand, I ignored the instant need to whine and crawl back into bed. I grabbed his hand and he smiled knowingly. He turned without another word and I followed him toward the door. When we got downstairs we walked past pack members who were worried. Viktor hadn’t made an announcement to explain to our people so they didn’t know what happened. Some came up and wished me well and others thanked me for appearing okay. A few thanked the Moon Goddess, bowed, and said they were happy to see me. I needed to be better. I made a note to keep the pack members in the loop in the future. We would need to make an an

The two of them looked at me as if they weren’t sure if they believed me yet. Jake looked unsure of my promise but that didn’t matter. I wasn’t going to try and convince them and time was running out. We didn’t know how Delta John was holding up and Jake needed to leave as soon as possible if not five minutes ago. “See? She’s going to stay away from the fight and you’ll make sure she does just that, won’t you?” Jake asked. “Yes,” Viktor growled. “Good. So we don’t need to worry,” Jake whispered. Jake stared into Viktor’s eyes, he turned to me, but Viktor pulled him back to him hard. Jake collided with his chest with an oomph. He inhaled a shaky breath as Viktor hugged him tight. Jake wrapped his arms around his waist and breathed in Viktor’s scent. I watched them embrace each other and ignored the thought that if something happened to one of them, this would be the last time I saw them together. “Don’t get hurt,” Viktor demanded. “Never,” Jake whispered. He unwrapped his arms fr

Just over this hill, we would find our warriors, our deltas fighting against the elders. My mate came to a stop just atop the hill and I picked up my speed. I followed him with my sisters atop the hill and surveyed the scene before me. My hand dropped to my stomach and a gasp escaped from my lips as Nyx and Clara came to a stop by my side.The small village that stood here was no more. The homes had been stomped to the ground and bodies lay all over the ground. Blood covered the field and if we didn’t stop the enemy, we would be fighting in a pool of blood.The field was covered with our warriors fighting against the humanoids. Most of them looked just like the one I had battled the other day with Jade. I searched the field for her but couldn’t find her. Our warriors were putting up as much of a fight as the could against the large mud creatures. It had been almost impossible for me to bring the one I had fought against down. But I knew from that training session that it didn’t matter

KacieA smaller humanoid stood thirty feet behind the pile of dust that we left in our wake. It stood still and didn’t flinch as we made our way toward it. It looked just like the one I’d fought against but closer to my size. This one was small, really small. I slowed my pace until I came to a full stop but ten feet away. The difference between this mud monster and the one I’d faced during my training session with Jade was that it had eyes, just as the one I’d fought a few minutes ago. It was eery was it glared at me with eyes to seem to hold fire.It looked at me, my face, my body and I swear it smirked at me. It opened it’s mouth and roared as it took off toward me. I called on the fire and it exploded in the palm of my hands and ran up my arms. It stood in front of me and I lifted my chin as I looked into its eyes. Large hands slammed together around me in an attempt to squish me but I threw my hands out away from me. My flames burned the hottest I’ve ever burned before. I would ta

Kacie “You’re stupid,” Clara said.“What?” Jade asked. “You took what the elders said at face value and armed them with warriors? You’ve pitted yourself against us,” Clara said. “They’re elders, they stand at the top of the world. If anyone can make it happen it’s them. It is the elders and the original alpha that banned us, cursed us,” Jade said. “You fool,” Nyx cried. “What?” Jade asked. “Did you really think they would let you live after doing their bidding? Did you think they wouldn’t see how much power you have, what you can do? Did you think they wouldn’t come after us? Did you think they didn’t know what they were doing when you stepped in for us? You led them straight to us. They’ll use you to get us,” Nyx said. “That’s not what they’re going to do! I have their word,” Jade said. “What is the word of men who would have you rip women from their beds and murder children in their homes? Are you really so naive sister?” Nyx asked. “I thought you of all people would know no
