Malachi I had no idea what we should do. We had a dozen women, not including Payton, Pytheria, and Violet, from several different species in the truck. I knew we needed to get to the main part of the complex now but we also couldn’t leave these women. Not with what they had been through. “Well take them, go help, Emerald,” Jailynn yells. Jailynn, Daniylla, and Leah had appeared and were dealing with the women. The five of us started running towards the complex. I knew with everything happening that they wouldn’t even notice us coming. I knew that Emerald’s powers were starting to come out when the weather started getting shitty. The air was getting more electric as well. I look back and all of them are gone. As we get closer the air around the place complex becomes thicker and colder. I also noticed that the ground was getting soggy. I smile because I know that Emerald has an affinity for water. I am not surprised that she is making the ground melt and become soggy and
Epilogue Devon It’s been six months since that day and everything has returned to normal. Well as normal as this pack can get. I guess Dustin was right when he said crazy shit happens within this alliance. I look down when I hear a small cry and smile. I am holding my one-week-old daughter. Emerald was pregnant when she took on those fuckers. She had no idea since she didn’t have any signs or symptoms. In fact, she had no idea she was pregnant until we rushed her to the hospital a week ago and she gave birth to our second little princess, whose name is Katyryia. She has mine and Nate’s eyes and hair the colour of the night. It is also extremely curly. I have no idea where she got the curly hair. A few of the guys joked that she wasn’t ours, but Nate and I know that Emerald would never cheat on us so we aren’t concerned. “I would still like to know where this dark curly hair came from.” Mom said. “That’s easy from me.” A man says. We all turn around to see the triplets
Epilogue 2 Chris “Are there any more children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren we should know about?” Aphrodite asked. “No.” All the men say. “Thank god.” Athena states. “What about all you women? Any of you have any offspring we should be aware of?” Poseidon asked. “Nope.” They all answered as one. I watch as my sisters roll their eyes. After the recent events and all we, the three of us, decided that a family meeting was in order. This is the first, and I am sure it will be the last time that my sisters willingly schedule a family meeting. Mykayla and Emerald are both here as well. It has been a year since all that shit went down, and the three of us decided to take a journey to all the realms and make sure everyone was behaving. We visited the dark fae, and let me tell you; they were scared shitless. While my sisters take a great thrill in scaring people, I don't, but after this, I even enjoyed scaring the dark fae. The three of us have pretty much left the
Connor “Where is she?” I yell. “We don’t know. She disappeared after they were killed.” My beta says. “How fucking hard can it be to find a 14-year-old girl?” I ask. “Seriously, she has no scent, and being the hybrid she is it makes it almost impossible to find her.” He replies. “Goddammit, I want her. They promised she would be mine after her damn parents were dead.” I growl out. “I know. If they would have done their part to keep her there with them then we wouldn’t be in this situation.” He adds. I fall back into my chair and slam my hand down on my desk. Her damn great aunt and older cousin promised that they would hand her over to me once her parents were out of the way. They had promised her to me the day she was born. I look out my window at my pack. We aren’t technically a pack since we are all rogues. We have all banded together, and I became the alpha 14 years ago. That’s when all this started. I wanted to have the biggest pack in the state. She was go
Emerald (6 years later) I step off the plane and suck in a breath. A smile spreads across my face. I am coming back here after two months of being over in Europe. I had been backpacking across the country and mostly ended up staying in the Mediterranean area. It is so beautiful there. I had debated on just staying there, but something about this town in Southern California keeps drawing me back. I remember the first time I came here. __FLASHBACK__ I had just turned 13 two weeks earlier. I was with mom and dad, and we were driving to visit a friend of theirs. He is the alpha of one of the largest packs in the state. I think I had met him before, but I was really little, like 3 or 4 years old at the time. I remember a nice man and woman. “How much longer?” I ask. “About ten more minutes. We should be pulling up to the house any minute.” Dad answers. I look out the window as a huge house comes into view. There are so many people walking around. I see a wolf run by, an
Devon Nate and I are hurrying back to the packhouse. We ran into town to grab some food for this meeting between dad, the fae king Marcel, the werecat king Samuel, Rich who is the grandson of Marcel, and Helm who is Samuels grandson. Helm is his nickname. His real name is long, and honestly, no one can pronounce it. Rich and Helm are picking up their cousin, who is the main topic of this meeting. The two of us have known Rich and Helm since we were 14. I have no idea who this cousin is or why he is so important. “I caught that scent last night while I was out patrolling,” Nate says. “Seriously, did you see her?” I ask. “No, by the time I got to the place where the scent was the strongest she was gone.” He states. I bump my head against the headrest of the seat. The two of us have been trying to find her for years now. We know she is out there somewhere cause we catch her scent often. I look at Nate, and I can see he is thinking the same thing we are. I remember the
Samuel I had a feeling this was going to happen. I remember Tyrone telling me that a few weeks after they had visited Jason last time, Luna Renee told him that her boys had told her that Emerald smelled of chocolate, coffee, and almonds. The two of us thought that was strange since Emerald had no scent. Neither of us paid much attention to it until she turned 14, and so far, she had not found her mate. She did tell me when she was 16 that, for some reason, she felt drawn to this town, but she couldn’t explain why. I have a feeling that it was because of the twins. “Ok boys, what is going on?” Jason asks. “We found our mate,” Nate says. “Our mate?” Renee asks. “Yes, our mate. We are twins and we have shared everything. We also share a mate.” Devon explains. This is not unheard of in shifter communities. I know several sets of twins that share a mate. Identical twins are one that is split into two, so it makes sense. “Wait it’s Emerald isn’t it?” Renee asks. “Yes
Nate It’s been three days since everyone showed up to discuss everything. Since then, Devon and I have hardly seen Emerald. I couldn’t believe how beautiful she had become. She was already so pretty back then, but now she is absolutely stunning. I have cough glimpses of her, but she has been avoiding the two of us like the plague. I thought I would lose it when Samuel and the others explained what happened to Emerald as she grew up. How dare those bastards to tell her shit like that. I could see her fighting with herself during the meeting. I would see her start moving like she wanted to come over, but she would force it down and stay in that damn chair. We were all sitting down to eat breakfast when Emerald walked into the room. The only chair left was between Devon and me. I smiled internally because I didn’t want to frighten her. I could see the internal struggle on her face. Emerald huffed out a sigh and sat in the chair between the two of us. “Can you please pass the
