We'll meet Davis and his mate in the next chapter when they learn about Daisy.
ANGEL They were not aware of anything for the past three years. What in the fuck was going on? That explained how she got away with shit. Her parents lost the past three years… Fucking hell. Elle gave me some dehydrated parthayberries that she always kept on hand for a pick-me-up whenever she needed it. I immediately popped them because the cleansing them of the dark magic took a toll on me. “Please sit. There’s a lot to talk about,” Alpha Elijah told her parents. He then introduced all of us. I could see that they were out of sorts right now and were very confused. Hopefully, they will be able to move on from this. Bianca took three years of their lives without their knowledge or consent. Goddess, she had absolutely no moral compass or things that she refused to do, ensuring that her wants and needs were always taken care of, fuck the rest. I did not hate easily, but I did hate her. “Everything that we’re going to tell you is true,” Elle promised. “It seems that you’re missing t
GABRIEL There was a loud knock coming from the front door of our suite, pulling me away from blissful sleep with my arms wrapped around my mate. Who in the hell would be banging on the door at 6:30 in the morning? Ugh. This better be good or else I might have to punt whoever the fuck it was out of an open window. Carefully, I slipped out of bed. Angel immediately sought out Grant’s warmth. I threw on a pair of shorts and grabbed a shirt before exiting the room. Saying that I was surprised at who was on the other side of the door would be an understatement. Anya stood there with her fist raised to knock again. Anya was nearly five years older than us. She had been adopted by Uncle Gabriel and Aunt Ansley when Ada, her mother, was killed. Being a hybrid, both witch and shifter, she had potent magic because she was given her mother’s magic before she died. Having to learn how to harness magic by the time you were five must have been stressful. However, her magic helped her become one
GRANT There were times in my life when I was angry and furious. Calm and collected was my typical demeanor. That was until a fuse was lit, and the dangerous side of me was released. Angel’s presence was the only thing that kept me grounded when I saw the faces of six traitors. It was like a rough punch to the gut. How did we not realize that there were traitors in our midst? How long have they been like this? What would be the amount of damage that was amassed by their betrayal? “I verified that our schedule has changed just a bit. They’re stopping off at a Hunter’s Guild that act as mercenaries for the right price. They’ll be able to infiltrate the pack boundary with ease. On the sixteenth right before dawn, they’ll send in the first wave. The six of us have the most important part of this mission. It’s our job to secure Angel Vester and hand her over into the care of Río de Fuego,” Denton said with a sleezy smirk. The would not be getting within ten feet of our girl and would pay
GRANT None of us fell back to sleep once we got back to the bedroom, stuck in our heads. My brother and I had laid there with our arms wrapped around our mate. We were thankful that Gramps had guided us through what we saw or else we would not have been any the wiser. We called for an emergency meeting with our leadership to explain everything that we had learned from the future walk. So, we were sitting inside the conference room at 9:00 A.M. and waiting for everyone to join us. Angel had not said a single word since we woke up from the future walk. Her emotions were muted, and she was staring off at nothing. We were honestly really fucking worried but were trying our damnedest to keep our emotions under control. She did not need any additional stress right now. Mom set coffees down in front of us, but Angel did not even seem to notice. Mom looked at us, clearly wondering if she was okay. I honestly did not have the answer to that. I swallowed hard and averted my eyes so that she
GABRIEL “Where’s your best half?” Ryker asked as he dropped down on the ground beside me. I chuckled because that was an accurate description of Angel. Best half was exactly what she was. Dad had told us that our mates, when it was part of a healthy mateship, would make us stronger and make us better. Grant and I had always felt like we were stronger around Angel. She made us more determined to succeed and far more determined to be the best versions of ourselves that we could be. It also made sense why some packs had rules about heirs taking over only once they had met their mate. Lunas made the Alphas stronger. Well, at least the non-corrupted ones and all. Although Dad was a great Alpha for this pack even before he met Mom. However, he would even say that she helped to bring a strength to this pack that it had never known before. “She’s working with the littles. They love being trained by Ms. Angel. Super fucking adorable,” I said with a goofy smile, thinking about how great my
ANGEL Tonight was perfect for taking a midnight stroll through the woods with the starry sky above me. A full moon provided enough light for me to see where I was going. A warm breeze caressed me, welcoming me into this picture-perfect moment. I was trying to remember where I was because I had not come across a single person since I started walking. It seemed that there was something blocking my memory. It was maddening. There was a light up ahead. Did I follow it and see what it was, or did I just keep walking aimlessly? Screw it. Angel Vester was no coward. The light was from a cabin. One would think that I had seen enough horror films that I would turn around and run away as quickly as I could. Well, they would be wrong because I was already walking onto the porch. There was something pulling me here, but I had no idea why. The door swung open, and I saw my biological mother. She looked just like she had when I saw the vision of her singing to me. Well, without the pregnancy
GRANT The hours carried on, but neither of us had left her side. Twenty-two hours into it, she finally regained consciousness. Gabriel and I had stayed in chairs beside her because we were not certain how she would feel when she woke up, unsure of what all she remembered. We did not want her to be uncomfortable. However, she demanded that we get into bed with a promise that she would verbalize if something became too much. It was amazing that she had been with Sophia while she was unconscious. This was her being able to experience time with her mother instead of only seeing past events. It was easy to see how much the experience meant to her. Angel was discharged, and we wasted no time getting her home. People had come and go while she was unconscious so that we knew we were not alone. My brother and I appreciated the reminder but also appreciated that people gave us privacy with our mate. “I need a bath,” she said once we popped home. I told her that I would run one. Her favori
ANGEL My head was resting on Grant’s chest. My fingertips trailed over his naked chest. Gabriel’s face was buried in my neck, and his arm was resting underneath my chest. They did exactly as I had asked them to. They helped me to replace the memory of what the assholes had done. They made love to me with a passion and sincerity that made my love for them overflow and overwhelm me. I had never once felt so close to them as I had during our intimacy this time around. I started to think about the situation that we found selves in. We needed to be careful with how we approached it. From what I understood, the man in the cells, Carl, was the boyfriend to one of the traitors. I was unsure if he was even aware of those plans or not. The verified traitor had already met his vicious end at the paws of Remo. If he was unaware of the true plan, it made me wonder why he would do it. Why would he assault me? What was his ultimate goal? How far would he have gone? Had he done this to anyone el
