Yolanda sat with a desk between herself and Edith. As they all tried to keep up with her. The woman could multitask like a champ. She’d a steel trap for a brain for who needed what special treatment. They changed email lists, phone call schedules, and tailoring messages for each and everyone. There’re lists and charts of all the needed details. It all made Yolanda’s head spin.
Yolanda knew this wasn’t something she’d any skill with. Tact wasn’t something she possessed. Nor did she have the patience to explain the same thing repeatedly as she watched Edith do on multiple calls. Edith would scribble notes as she spoke to them and then pass those notes to Yolanda, Ian, or her mate. She expected them to know how to record the notes.

Aricka returned to the Alpha apartments from the bathroom again with a tired sigh. “You okay, babe?” Gregory looked up from the tablet’s screen at his mate in concern. “I’ll survive. Thank heaven’s this pregnancy will be shorter than the Evan’s. I don’t think I can hide this part as much as I’d like.” “Why don’t you let Doctor Graves give you something for it?” “Last time nothing worked. So, I figured I’d just ride it out.” Aricka sat down on a chair and took her shoes off, then lay down. “What are we goi
Devine watched as Jeff and Jaxon work. They found many in need. They’d also found a way to record it all too. Those were Jeff’s words. It wasn’t just wolf shifters suffering here, and it wasn’t just in the local area. There were pockets of need everywhere. NARC then stepped in to help those the system failed. Clean up was still happening as I found issues. Jaxon took up searching the internet for breeches. Devine was sending out reports to NARC officials so they could send out teams of enforcers to sort out and fix the issues. Before they became irreparable breeches to the humans. Rogues were returning to where they once lived. The difference was many wished to return to pack life. This meant NARC enforcers either needed to negotiate their return to their old packs,
Jaxon and Devine escaped from Jeff when Juliette stepped in. She used the excuse that she’s tired to get him to stop questioning of Jaxon about his abilities. Devine was never so relieved. Jeff was oblivious to how uncomfortable it was for Juliette and her to watch the conversation. “Come on. Let’s go home. Get some shuteye. We’ll be at this again as soon as morning comes. I suspect the idea of us working through breakfast won’t be happening if Julies has anything to say about it.” Devine led Jaxon through the pack house and down the back stairs. Hilda and her staff still used them. Because of the traffic in the building. It gave them an easier way to move through the house without dodging a small army. But at this hour it wouldn’t be busy. Devine knew she
Allan closed their apartment door behind them. Edith was busy pouring herself a drink from the mini-fridge by the bar in the sitting room. He let out a sigh, “Pour me one dear. We’ll be up for a bit; I think working out this one.”“Yes, it seems if it’s not raining, it's pouring around here. One crisis to another, it seems. Which crisis have you in this state?” Why’d he made her a mother? Her instincts about everyone around went into overdrive when she gave birth to Gregory and never stopped. No one could hide anything from her. She didn’t even contemplate playing dumb.“The humans. I’m worried it’s a mistake just to welcome them. It’s going to backfire on us at some point.”“Look at it this way. Someone sells a piece of toast with the image of Mary on it for thousands of dollars. They cry and moan about haunted houses. They poke about for a few hours and run away. No one bats an
They’re human. But they have the hallmarks of fae blood within them. Doctor Graves can confirm that. If they are Fae, they might be our ace in the hole. They may be immune to what Fae can do. It all depends on what type of fae was their ancestor and how long ago they appeared.”"Wait, a minute. Part Fae? But I thought Fae believed it was slumming if they mated with a human.”“Traditionally, that’s the view. A few Fae must have not agreed. For this view to be held.” Dean made a sour face at that.“Have you told anyone else about this? Have you told them this theory?” Edith stepped in before this conversation went down the rabbit hole.“Right now. I thought I’d tell you and then Gregory. See how you wanted to approach this. If another faction comes here and recognizes their abilities.”"How much Fae blood are we talking here? I mean, when could this have happened? There are varying deg
The office was quiet as the small group filed in and settled into business. “Fine. Now what’s so important that it’ll change everything? What do you believe is true?” Gregory put his morning coffee on the desk. He reviewed the faces in the room.“As asked. I started looking for supernatural creatures that exhibit the empathic traits. The list isn’t long. I found that there are patterns to the empathic traits. There’re records of Fae who could read and manipulate emotions. Or experiences and memories. But other than that. Nothing. Then I looked for records on twins and abilities. Gregory, Alpha. Chances are both have some skill. So, if the twins are together their abilities are whole and stronger. This happens. There’re records for it.”“Wait. Fae? I don’t see any Fae features in them.”“Well, the amount of Fae blood in them may be small. A distant ancestor’s all it takes. I&rsquo
Once the shocks were over. Ian and his men gathered. They whispered together in a corner. The others discussed different matters. “We’ve not talked to each other. They’ve done a pretty good job of keeping us apart. Any issues I need to know about? What’re your feelings?” Ian wasn’t comfortable talking, but he needed to know if they’re in danger. “It’s been good for me. Aria has been catching me up to speed on everything going on. How can I believe they think we’re fairies? I don’t know about you, Jax, but I don’t feel evil.” “I don’t think they are all evil to the core. So, I’m to gather, certain types of f
Yolanda was up to her ears in weapons prep while she cursed herself for letting Ian getaway. He’d have been an excellent help here. She handed packets or ready collections of weapons for the enforcers. One of her assistants would finish handing out the rest. She sent the revised list of things that they needed to Jeff, and she was on to the next thing. * *
