DANTELife had been very fucking chaotic this past year. It seemed like more events happened in it than in all nineteen years of my entire life thus far.Who would have thought that our pack being attacked would be the catalyst to bring my missing sister back into our lives? We had searched for her every day for thirteen years, but it was like she just disappeared which was the bastard’s intention all along.Her reemergence brought our packs together through blood and bond. Our sister Ansley mated to Elle’s best friend Gabriel. Our cousin Vienna mated to her Beta. It was like a fucking celestial match-making service or something. Our pack ended up relocating next to theirs because the Goddess wanted our packs close together.My expertise in all things supernatural definitely came in handy over this past year from dealing with Dark Fae who wanted to juice box Elle’s power to our allies of various supernatural species to aiding with allies in the Dark Moon pack. It was a fucking good th

DANTE I looked back towards Ziyah’s direction once more before I shut the family room door behind me. There was a conglomeration of Fae relatives and me. I certainly fucking stuck out, but that was neither here nor there. Caiathus took a seat next to me on the couch, lending me the brotherly support that he always did. We were close, so it was cool that we would be family. Well, that was if my mate accepted me. What if she did not want our bond? What did I possibly have to offer her? ‘Relax,’ Caiathus linked to me. I looked at him curiously because I did not know he could link to me. That would have saved time if I had known. Was it just by his wish that it happened? ‘Fae can project thoughts. I assume that is what you are curious about. Your nephews do it all the time,’ he reminded me, smirking. He was right. Fucker. At least he broke me out of my spiraling thoughts. I turned my attention to Dr. Kravitz who looked a little nervous, but I was not certain why. That put me on edg

ZIYAH I had felt like I was immersed in a sea of darkness, unable to move and unable to feel anything other than my own agony. My body had been through the ringer over the years all thanks to Toris the bitchy Dark Fae, but this felt different because I was trapped with no way out. There was no hope of escaping wherever I was. It left me feeling hopeless and helpless instead. The darkness began to recede after a while. Everything looked completely different when I finally escaped that darkness. The room was pristine white, and I was attached to noisy machines. Where the hell was I? Did the Dark Fae find me and bring me back to their base? The most handsome male alive tried to calm me down after I freaked out about Toris finding me. By the gods he was incredibly handsome with those tattoos and what little I had seen of a body that looked like it was carved from perfection. Not to mention that his eyes were a brilliant shade of light blue. I did not believe that it was Caiathus at fi

DANTE I could clearly see that Ziyah was shaken up yesterday regarding the whole blood and tracking thing. I hated to see her upset, but I would never hide shit like that from her. It did not matter how much I wanted and needed to protect her from everything because she deserved to know about the things that involved her. I could tell that she did not want to be alone but was hesitant to ask. It did not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the hesitancy was merely because she did not know what she could possibly add to this mateship. It was the same thing that I had worried about after meeting her family and realizing that here was a powerful woman who was from this epic clan of badass warrior Fae. I was only a nineteen-year-old Alpha. They did not compare at all. In reality, our mateship was unique, but I fully believed that the Goddess chose us two for a reason. Then again, how many shifters would truly be able to grasp the supernatural world like I could. I had to believe t

DANTE I was glad that Elle came over to meet Ziyah. I would never break her confidence, but if anyone could understand what my mate went through then it would be Elle. Even though my sister came so far since Blue Crest, it did still haunt her at times. There was no delusion in me that thought my mate could just snap her fingers and overcome thirty-seven years of pure fucking torture in every way imaginable. I just hoped that perhaps I could help her heal the way that Kade helped Elle. ‘Do you think she’ll want to meet me in my form some day?’ Byron asked timidly. ‘Of course, she will. Why wouldn’t she?’ I could feel his indecision to voice whatever was bothering him, but I could not for the life of me figure out what it was. ‘Because of the wolves that hurt her. What if she’s terrified of me because of them? What if my mate won’t want me but only you?’ My heart felt like it was in a vice grip hearing that. Had he been worried about this the whole time and had not said anything,
