Well, that's a lot to chew on. What do you guys think? Leave me some love and let me know! See you soon.
I was just supposed to here for three days. That was it. It was going to be hell to be away from Brandon and Zak during that time. Granted, we had finished our mating period, but we are so in love and none of us had had serious relationships between losing our first mates and gaining our second chance ones. Brandon and Zak had each other during that time and were able to find comfort and get their sexual needs met that way. I, on the other hand, did not have another mate, seeing both of my mates had died as a result of the war with the Riding Hoods. I wish that I could have met Iris. That I had known what she was like prior to the letter I had gotten from Brian. She had sent a letter with Arya and Devin soon after Zak, Brandon, and I had accepted our matebond. She told me a little about herself and how she and Brian had been keeping tabs on me and Summer ever since they found each other in Selene’s realm. She sounded like an amazing witch that had been broken down by the
“¡Mamá! ¿Qué demonios estás haciendo? ¡Acabas de salir del hospital! ¡No puedes estar trabajando en la cocina! (Mom! What the hell are you doing? You just got out of the hospital! You can't be working in the kitchen!)” I yell, coming into the kitchen to pick up a few orders. My mother, who just got discharged home two days ago after having a major heartattack, is attempting to make masa for tortillas. She’s holding a 10 pound bag of cornmeal in her hands and her face is turning red from the exertion. “Intenté decírselo, jefe. ¡Me pegó con una cuchara! (I tried to tell her, boss. She hit me with a spoon!),” Oscar, our chef says. Sure enough, I look over to see him icing a large goose egg on the top of his head. “¡Mamá! ¡Vas a provocarte otro ataque al corazón! ¡Detente! Vuelve a la cama. Estamos encargando de todo. (Mama! You're going to cause yourself to have another heartattack! Stop! Go back to bed. We're taking care of everything.)” I say, quickly taking the
We’re five minutes out from landing. Our car is already waiting for us at the hanger and then we’ve got a 15 minute drive to the Southern Point territory. Where the fuck is Luna Safi? We should have heard from her at least 15 minutes ago to tell us what happened with Kayla. Do they have her? Did they find her missing? What the hell is happening?! My wolf and I are going insane and Zak isn’t fairing any better at all. We’ve already lost one mate. We can’t lose another. We wouldn’t survive it. Especially knowing that she’s pregnant with our pups. Add to that our worry about Chris, her pup, and Esteban and our wolves are ready to rip out of us and go on a rampage. What the fuck is happening? Zak nearly screams through the mindlink that he opened between me and Dev. I don’t know, Z. We’re trying to get back in touch with Safi, but something’s wrong. She’s not picking up her phone and the mindlink isn’t going through either. It’s like she just disappeared. Dev links
“Fuck!” I scream aloud to the empty plane. I’m on my way to Guadalajara to find Esteban and bring him back home. The thing that’s worrying the hell out of me, even more than Meredith’s and Chris’s visions is that Nico hasn’t been able to get in touch with Esteban via mindlink or by phone. Esteban’s cousin, Jake, had given us his cell phone number and we’ve all been trying to call him over the past few hours to no avail. It’s going straight to voicemail each time, like it’s turned off. Now, I’ve just found out that Kayla has been taken by the Riding Hoods. My new stepmother and Summer’s mom. Just gone because of these damn cloth draped walking Roman candles. And they’ve threatened to take my sister as well. Uncle Dev is the one that told me what’s going on. “I know that this is a big blow. Gael, Hakeem, and Arya are on their way to your dads. I’m heading to you sister to make sure that she’s safe. Liam, Sandra, and Bhakti are on their way there as well.” “What about yo
I come awake all at once, screaming for my mother, tears immediately falling from my eyes. “Mama!” It takes a few seconds for things to come into focus and for me to understand what is happening. I’m in a cell, cuffed in silver to the wall by my wrists and a chain around my neck. There is enough slack in the chains that I can use the bucket that they’ve set beside me for a bathroom and to a small cot for a bed. There’s a single window up high on the wall, but it’s so high and so small there’s no point in trying to get to it. There’s also a single, bare light bulb in the room that while make it so that we can see at night, but there’s no way for me to turn on the light from the inside, meaning I’m at the mercy of my captors for even light to see by. And right now, the night sky is overcast and and the light is off. The place smells rank, like piss, mold, and the incense of the Riding Hoods. But as I’m waking up more, I’m getting another scent, that of orange and honeysuckle.
I’m trying my best to keep calm, but it is a near thing. My second chance mate has been kidnapped by the Riding Hood. Do you know how much it is a blow to the ego of an alpha, even an ex-one, that he can’t keep his mates safe? Do you know how much this is sending my wolf into a frenzy right now? At this point, every single one of my mates have been kidnapped. Brandon by Casen, Severn, and Corrinda and both of my she-wolf mates by the fucking Riding Hoods! And now my pups have been taken as well. Because if Kayla is pregnant, she has to be pregnant with twins. Fuck, my wolf is going insane. Doesn’t help that we have to wade through all the dead bodies with Gus, identifying everyone and seeing if there are any unaccounted for wolves. It seems that the Riding Hoods descended on them without any warning. There’s actually a circular scorch mark in the center of the town that they’ve created inside the barbed wire, almost looking like the blast off site for a rocket ship. I
I wake up in the hospital. The light coming through the windows is all wrong. It should be dark. Why does the light look like mid afternoon? It’s only then that I realize that I’m not in my bedroom or even in my suite. I sit up and realize that I’m in a room at the pack hospital. And I’m not alone. The second that I move, Aubrey calls out, “She’s awake.” Meredith, Uncle Dev, Bhatki, Liam, and Sandra, along with ALL SIX of my grandparents, all swarm into the room, along with Dr. Hazel. Shit, I’ve never had so many medical wolves around me at once. Bhakti, Dr. Hazel, and Uncle Dev are immediately swarming the machines, checking my vitals, and feeling my forehead. That is, until Dr. Hazel pulls rank. “Alpha Devin, Luna Bhakti, I get that Chris is one of you now and is very much like family, but she is my patient and I need you to back up so that I can check on her and the pup, ok?” Uncle Dev looks like he’s about to object, but Bhakti puts her hand on his shoulder, pulling h
The cell that they have us in doesn’t smell the best in the first place. But then, you add the smell of incense and death that comes rolling off of the Red One and I’m running to the toilet again, vomiting up stomach bile at this point. Goddess, I’m not going to be able to handle this smell for five months. I’ll be vomiting everytime one of them comes into the room. “Ugh. Acolyte, take care of that for me,” the Red One says. “Yes, Red One,” the raven haired girl responds immediately. She crosses over to me with a pitcher in her hand. I immediately move into a defensive crouch, but she just sets the cup down on the floor. “It’s just water. Nothing else. See?” She pulls a Dixie cup off of a holder by the sink, pouring water in it and drinking so that I know that it isn’t poisoned. “I thought that you might be thirsty. I know that you’re likely very sensitive to smells right now. I’m going to perform an incantation. It’ll calm your stomach,” she says. I watch her war
