I snaked my arms through the sheets but my hand only felt a cold pillow next to me. My eyes opened and I knew I was alone. Auri had already left. Rolling on my back, I closed my eyes. Taking a moment, I just inhaled her scent that saturated my room. Cato howled but he, like me, knew this is what was going to happen. She wasn’t good with goodbyes. Every time we said it, it never ended well.
I laid in bed for a bit before I finally pulled myself up. I pulled on some sweats and padded into the kitchen. She had made a full pot of coffee. I poured a full mug and held it in my hands, feeling its warmth. Leaning against the counter, I closed my eyes and sipped the perfect roast.
Hector came down first. He poured himself a mug and leaned next to me against the counter.
“Is she…”
I nodded, taking another sip. He also took a sip and didn’t say anything. We just listened to the quiet of the house. A little while later Denise stomped down the stairs. She was not
“Is that the paperwork that you wanted me here for?” I finally asked Bryan after we disengaged from our hug and I poured some iced tea. “Sadly, no. There is something that came up from the High Council and I thought we should go over it together.” Bryan made a face. “Goddess, are they trying to push for Alpha King again?” “In a way.” I grimaced. “They just need to let up.” Bryan nodded. I took a drink of the iced tea and smiled. “Thanks for making the tea, Denise.” “Why do you think she made it?” I raised my eyebrow at him. “Because it’s good.” Denise giggled. “You’re welcome, Alpha.” The rest of the day was not nearly as eventful. Bryan and I poured over the paperwork on the desk. It was already turning dark and my eyes were getting strained looking at all the pages we still had left. “Go home, Bryan. I’m not in the mood to get anything else done tonight. Take Denise out and use my card
***Auri’s POV*** I leaned over the railing feeling the salty breeze blow through my hair. It smelled clean despite being on the edge of the city. I had come early. I was just nervously moving different piles around. It was clean already and I just decided instead of pacing the loft, I would just take the walk down to the park and enjoy the sun. Today had been a sundress day. I had forgone my usual hat but went with a sundress that flowed just above my knee. I had a small little straw handbag and some sandals. My white cane was collapsed in one hand. I knew the way by heart but it was just easier to get around sometimes. Morgan had removed my collar just before the operation and held me as I cried, receiving the confirmation that Kai was gone. She was gone from my mind and I mourned the loss of my closest friend. I had silver bracers made. Each one engraved with wolves on each of them, surrounded
I leaned down, trying to pick up one of the twins stuffed animals on the floor. Quickly, I realized with how late I was into my pregnancy, that was not going to happen. Instead, I squatted down. I added it to the pile of toys in my arm. There was a knock on the front door and I smiled. “Come on in, it’s open!” “You know, Luna…” Lila came in, closing the door behind her. “…you really shouldn’t leave it open. Even if you know someone is coming over. Especially someone in your condition and with Alpha being gone.” I shook my head, walking over to the toy bin we had for the kids and emptied my arms. “Yes, well. If someone got past the entire border patrol, plus the extra patrol I know encircles this place, then I would have no chance anyways.” She came over to me and pulled me into a hug. “Goddess, he’s getting so big.” Lila put a hand on my belly. “He’s growing faster than Týr did. I called Morgan. He is supposed to come and pick the kids up from
We drove down the streets, speeding past the building that I needed to have my appointment. You could hear that people were closing doors and boarding up. Lila kept her foot on the gas as we headed at the northern end of the city. Kirk had one main campus that housed grades Kindergarten through 12th grade. It was separated into three buildings but they shared amenities. “Auri, what are we supposed to do?” I had already advised Captain Rider of my theory and they adjusted their run to head to us but they were too far north and the vampires would reach the school well before any of the groups would reach the city. “We need to make sure that all the kids are evacuated into the gym. They have a storm lockdown system for tornados. That will hold off any vampire for long enough.” “But getting all the kids in there…there won’t be enough time.” I leaned back and pulled my bag onto my lap. Unzipping my duffle and digging around I took out tw
***Logan’s POV*** My hands were holding my son. He was crying, the cord still attached to Auri. I was shaking. She was dead. Her heart stopped. She had breathed her last breath. The mate bond felt like a flower that had gone grey and withered away. I stared at the small little life in my hands. The pup I didn’t even know that was coming. My voice couldn’t be found. My mind blank. Justin ran up to me. “FUCK!” He threw his med bag down and started to take out different tools. I watched as he tore a piece of duct tape with his teeth and covered the wound on her neck. He laid her flat on the ground and pulled out a defibrillator out of his bag. “ALPHA! CUT THE CORD!” I looked at the cord and I pinched it. My nails elongated and I sliced it, still holding onto the end since I didn’t have a clamp. “STARTING!” I watched as he paddled Auri’s body. It jerked and I pulled my baby close. I had him against me, watching in horror. I

I grabbed my duffel bag out of the upper compartment of the plane. I also pulled the suitcase for the woman who was sitting next to me. She was in her fifties and we had chatted most of the flight. “Thank you, dear. I never did catch your name.” I smiled at her, setting the bag down on the floor. “Vale, Vale Everfell.” “A beautiful name for a beautiful man.” She winked and I laughed. “Thank you for talking to an old woman like me. I know most people in first class take it because they don’t want to be bothered. I only do it for the leg room.” Shaking my head, I moved into the aisle and let her take up the spot in front of me. “Honestly, I think my mom books first class for me because she knows I talk too much and would annoy everyone around me. I can’t really sleep on planes. So I should be thanking you for dealing with a whippersnapper like me.” Her laugh filled the cabin. “Whippersnapper? Sometimes, you don’t seem your age.” “My Grandpa was a big part of my life growning up. Th
I turned off the shower and got out, rubbing myself down with one of the towels hanging from the rack. As I dried off, I grabbed my sweats and a shirt from my bag, throwing them on. Out the door, I started to explore a little. The house was small, only two bedrooms on the top floor. With an office as well. Opening up the other bedroom, I looked in to see the bed unmade, a stuffed bunny laying on the bed, and some clothes tossed on the end. My mom definitely made herself at home. My dad was the neat freak of the two of them. Outside the kitchen, of course. Mom, in the kitchen, was a cooking goddess and everything had a place. More than once my sisters, Freya and Syf, got in trouble for messing up the kitchen. I headed down the stairs and sat at the kitchen island with Grandpa. He had a glass of tea in one hand, his cellphone in the other. “Frankie’s made his move.” My mom turned from the pot she was leaning over and signed: “What happened?” “Took over the southern region. Managed a
