Gaia POV.“What do you mean, she is dying?” I look at my little sister, who has tears running down her cheeks.“Her light and her power have been fading.” I hug her to my chest and kiss the crown of her head.“There has to be a way. You know what she is like. She should have been named Loki.” I say with a chuckle, but I know she is telling the truth. I felt it when I was brought back and long before that. Selene, at full power, wouldn’t have been so easily subdued by me.“Take me to her.” I murmur into her hair, and she nods before wiping her eyes with the heel of her hand. She takes my hand and pulls me into the packhouse. My mates follow behind me as I’m led to the office.Sofia pushes open the door and the mood in the room is depressing. Why can’t my family ever have a moment of joy instead of despair?I look towards Selene and I squint my eyes at her. I see her aura flicker and I sigh as I move towards her. I stand in front of her as I cross my arms over my chest. I look down at h
Gaia POV.I walk through the packhouse. I need to calm down before I blow up. Stepping outside into the warm sunshine, I move towards the training field and see Dahlia, Nicholas, and Sofia talking. I make my way over to them. This shit needs to end now.“Hey,” I say as I get closer. They all turn and see me. They all smile at me. I walk into the open arms of my brother as I embrace him. He kisses my head.“Hey, so how did it go?” I groan and untangle myself as I move to sit on the grass and they do the same thing. We all lay down on the grass, looking up at the clear sky. We used to do this a lot when we were younger.“I told her she needs to fix this shit.” I say as they all sigh. Yeah, this is shit.“What did she say?” Dahlia asks from the side, and I shake my head.“Nothing. She told me everything, and she is lucky I didn’t kill there and then. I’m sick of her interfering with this. Dah she made you Alpha of Alpha’s, she made me the ruler of hell, now she wants to make Sof the next
Gaia POV.Kodiak was always enormous in her wolf form. She is easily nine feet tall. It’s the perk of having God and Goddess blood running through her veins. My father, aunt, siblings, and cousins are the same. The average Alpha wolf stands at seven feet. We are stronger, faster, more dominant and aggressive. This makes us more of a challenge for anyone who is stupid enough to try to take us down.“Hey, it’s just more of us to love. Besides, we are cute and fluffy when we want to be.” I chuckle at Kodiak’s words as she charges through the forest. Our mates gaining on us.“You are cute and fluffy, if that is what you would use to describe a cactus.” I mock back and she growls at me.“Focus, this is a chase. Don’t lose sight of the goal. Let them think they are winning, then push on. You wanted to do this before Kodiak and I’m letting you now.” I say to her when she huffs before she slows slightly.The vibrations of paws on the earth, the sound of their breathing and low growls sound ar
Gaia POV.I untangle myself from them and look up at all four of them. The sound of the waves crashing on the shore and the beautiful colours in the sky make the perfect setting for what we are about to do.I stand and they all look at me, confused, as I start stripping my clothes in front of them. I look at each of them and see desire and fiery lust in their gazes, and I smirk as I bite my bottom lip.Standing in front of them completely bare, I lower myself on to Calista’s lap. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kiss him. Having his hands on my bare skin sends the sparks everywhere. Tracing the seam of his bottom lip with my tongue, he grants me access.Plunging my tongue into his mouth, our tongues dance together in a sultry tango, each fighting for dominance over the other. My hands tangle in my hair as he deepens the kiss. I moan as my core pulses with a greedy need to be filled.More hands run up my spine and sides. I gasp, breaking the kiss, turning my head as Leo kisses me. M
Gaia POV.Waking surrounded by warmth as the sun beats down on me. I open my eyes and see we are still on the beach. We slept on the sand. The burning embers from a fire are dying. Sitting up, I yawn and stretch.“Fuck, my back.” I mumble as I stand, stretching as my back crunches and I shiver.“Morning.” I turn my head and see my mates all waking up. I look back out over the water and release a slow breath. Waking like this is perfect.“Morning.” I say I am extremely chirpy this morning.“Yeah, that is what happens when you mate and mark. You need to finish the process with Jake and then you need to mark them, too.” Kodiak sounds groggy in my head. She has never been a morning wolf and I don’t think that will ever change.“I know. I plan on doing that.” I tell her and she yawns before going back to sleep. Looks like someone is wiped out. I’m pulled out of my thoughts as I’m pulled back down with a giggle. I land against a warm chest.“Who dressed me?” I ask as Leo rubs his eyes befor
Calista POV.It’s late in the afternoon of the next day and we are still waiting for Gaia and Jake to come back. We know they have completed the mating and marking. We all felt it last night, but there was something else happening. You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach that something big is about to happen? Yeah, we have been feeling that since this morning.“When do you think they will be back? I don’t like this feeling something is about to happen. What could it be?” Gabe says from the island in the kitchen nursing his coffee and I look towards Leo and I know he is just as anxious.“How longs a piece of string? I don’t know as for this feeling we will just have to wait and find out. Have any of you tried to get in touch with them?” I ask as I tighten my grip on the mug. They both nod. It’s like they have gone AWOL and cut all comms with us.“Are they still not back?” I turn to see Sofia enter the kitchen and we all look towards the front door, willing it to open up and re
Gaia POV.It has been two weeks since I returned with Rosa and twenty other orphans. They have all settled beautifully and Rosa has her daddies wrapped around her little finger. Not just them, but my family, too.There is plenty of space for the kids and they all sleep in rooms shared with either their siblings or older children. Today we have organised for an adoption party to take place. All potential new parents have been vetted by not just the supernatural council but the human councils, too. So they will come today and spend time with their potential new child or children.I know some of these pups will go to loving parents within the pack. Xena has also put in place that all these children will be under the council’s protection. However, they don’t need it because no matter where they go; they are under my protection.As for the human orphans, they have beautiful families lined up too. We made sure that each child was matched perfectly. Checks were made to ensure their protectio
Gaia POV.Today was a success. All the kids and their new families had a great time. All but little Charlie. It hurts my heart that such a sweet and interesting little boy was left alone. I need to get to the bottom of this. How could a siren abandon their child?Collapsing on the sofa, I’m exhausted and I still need to tell my mates I am pregnant. However, I need to find Asteria and get to the bottom of this for little Charlie he has every right to know why he was left in the care of that awful woman.“Hey baby. Are you ok?” I look up and see the men I need. I smile at them and sit up.“Yeah, I’m good. There is something I need to tell you all. So please sit down. It’s nothing bad, I promise.” I say and they all look at me like I’m going to do something bad to each of them. I scoff inwardly. Ok fine, the Nerf war, and water fight was great fun, and they got the brunt of it, but hey no harm done.“Stand up Gaia.” I look at Leo, confused, as he rolls his eyes and pulls me to stand as h
