Dreston I had heard stories from my grandfather and some of my great uncles about a fae so powerful that no other fae or person with magic could touch them. Those stories were told to us as children and for all intense and purposes were myths. They were mainly used as bedtime stories. Grandfather told me that it has been well over a thousand years since a fae with that much power was born. I was considerably older than both Luke and Aliya. The family was aware that Luke was fairly powerful when he was born but we also knew that his powers would manifest later since for some weird reason male fae didn’t acquire their powers until they were older. When Aliya was born, we all knew right then that she was beyond powerful. When great-great-aunt Belinda informed us that Aliya was that one in a thousand-year fae we were all shocked, I knew that Deliah was proud of her but we could all tell that Aliya’s dad was not as thrilled. Don’t get me wrong he loved his daughter and spoiled her
Alpha Phillip It has been two days since Aliya, Tallyn, and Lailani had been kidnapped. I was pissed that they let themselves be kidnapped. When they had returned from Morrison’s pack and I saw an unconscious Aliya in Brayden’s arms I wanted someone dead. She was pale and looked so fragile which was not normal for her. When Brayden came back down after placing her in their bed I made them tell me what happened from the beginning. I was both shocked and not surprised that Aliya had known what they were up to and had come up with a plan of her own to put an end to all this shit. I knew in my heart that she would have to be the one to end this but I sure as hell wasn’t going to tell my son that. I could see Hillary out of the corner of my eye and I knew she was just as surprised by this as I was. The boys had been home about half an hour when there was a loud knock on the door. Brayden let out a growl. I knew he was afraid that they would wake Aliya up and right now that girl n
Epilogue Aliya - Six months later Well, it is colder than hell outside. I swear it was just summer and then this horrible weather came out of nowhere. I am sitting on the bench in front of the window watching more fucking snow pour down. It has been this way for the last two days. I let out a huff and stand up. I look down when I hear a quiet cry. I am holding my three-month-old daughter. Yes, I was right when I kept thinking I was having a girl. She was born in the middle of the last day of summer. She is so adorable and yes I might be biased since she is mine. She has a full head of slightly curly strawberry-blonde hair and dark blue eyes with flecks of gold in them. Phillip says that she is the perfect mix of Brayden and me and I think that I have to agree with him. I have a feeling she is going to be a little thing like me since she was just over five pounds when she was born. Mom and great-grandfather told me that they can already feel her powers but until she gets
Epilogue 2 Violet - 1 ½ later We sit on the edge of their border watching them. Aliya now has a six-month-old son; her daughter is almost two years old. Tallyn is pregnant with her second as is Lailani. The pack has been doing great these last two years. I stand up and head back to the car. These last two years have been rough. Brayden turned all of us over to King Luthar, well, except for Heather, Johanna, and Nelson. Johanna and Nelson were handed over to the supernatural council, who turned them over to her old coven. I have no idea what happened after that. I heard that they were put to death but then I heard she was stripped of her magic and they were shipped off to somewhere far away to live in a pack that dealt with people like them. Harlow, Scar, Liam, and Willow were put to death since they were the last remaining members of the pack that betrayed his father all those years ago. Heather and Johnny were handed over to her father. Again I heard that he placed them
Brayden I was sitting at my desk working on pack business and looking through what meetings I needed to attend on Monday at the office. We had several businesses located in the human city. My father owns most of the hotels in the city, while my beta Kendrick, my gamma Eddie, and I had started several restaurants in the city as well. They had all become very successful, and between the three of us, we were doing well. Our pack, which is the Midnight Forest Pack, is the sole pack in South Carolina. We are allied with three packs: the Caldonia Pack, the sole pack in North Carolina, the Coastal Current Pack, and the Northern Celestial Pack. Those two packs share the state of Georgia. This entire region has been stable, with very few issues with rogues. Most of the rogues are passing through and cause no problems. I know a rogue pack has been forming on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee for the last three years. I have heard that they are still small in numbers, and their self
Brayden It has been two days since the attack and annihilation of the Northern Celestial Pack. Dad had gotten back late last night and went straight to bed. He had linked me about half an hour ago for all of us to meet in my office. I know Luke and Carter were anxious to hear what had happened to their pack. I also know they were anxious to hear if there were any survivors and about Aliya. Kendrick, Eddie, Luke, Carter, and I were waiting for dad, mom, Harry, Keith, and Xalen to arrive. Xalen was our head warrior and had gone with dad when they headed up to the Northern Celestial Pack to find out what the hell happened. I turn around when they all walked into the room. Myles has been recovering well but he still has not woken up. Doctor Branson says that they stabbed him with a silver blade coated in wolfsbane so it is taking some time to get that out of his system. “What did you find out dad?” I asked. “The attack was unexpected. No one saw it coming. From what we coul
Aliya I have been on the run now for a week and I have just made it to the human city right outside of the Midnight Forest Packs borders. I had made it halfway between our border and the packhouse when dad and Alpha Craig stopped me. Dad said I needed to turn around and run. Alpha Craigh explained that the pack was under attack and that they needed me to run now. I tried to tell them that I could fight but they told me to go. I finally relented and took off. I started crying and didn’t even stop when I heard dad let out his last howl. My wolf Haven let out a loud howl inside my head as I fell to my knees. She told me I needed to get up and I knew she was right but fuck it hurt to know that my dad and pack were being wiped out and I wasn’t there trying to fight for them. The only saving grace I was thankful for was I knew that Luke and Carter were away and alive. I have managed to lose the rogues. I don’t think they are really rogues because I swear I caught two scents that
Aliya I was right, that conversation was fucking awful. When Luke told me that the pack had been annihilated I was heartbroken. I knew that dad and Alpha Craig had been killed but I had no idea that most of the pack had been murdered as well. I have been here for two days now and I don’t think I have ever cried this much. Then on top of that to find out that Myles was here in the hospital was even more devastating. At least he was still alive. This is where I am now. Doctor Branson called us about an hour ago and told us that he was starting to show signs of waking up. I am sitting by his side holding his hand. I still haven’t dealt with my predicament with my mate either. I am almost positive that he is going to reject me. (He is not going to reject us)-Haven (How do you know? Have you talked to his wolf?)-Me (No but with the way he looks at you I can tell he wants us)-Haven (Of course, he wants us. I am sure he knows all about my being a hybrid and my powers so lik
