Chapter 36- Why are they here again? Onyx immediately takes control of the situation. “How can we be of assistance to you, Luna Mindy?” His voice is calm and collected as he speaks. “I wish to have a conversation with my daughter in private.” She demands. I can feel the tension shift within the room as Onyx tries to control his anger. I growl at my mother for her tone, warning her that she is no longer in her territory, nor do her words mean anything here. “Shift and speak to me like a civilized wolf.” She demands angrily.Brett and Matt hastily enter the cabin and flank Onyx. “There will be no need for that; I am here for my daughter and my daughter only. This is family business, and you are all permitted to leave.” She tries to demand. Brett and Matt look to Onyx for further instruction, and he nods to the opposite side of the room. I recognize the orders quickly enough, and they are to stand guard and watch her. She will not leave this room or venture into another p
Chapter 37- New information The King immediately growls at my father and places his body between Dad and Judith. “Judith is the Queens Right-hand lady. The scarf represents the Queen. If you lay a finger on her or Briar ever again, I will personally execute you. They are no longer a member of Blood Water Pack but a member of my court.” He instills his words exceptionally well. Both mom and Dad lose all the color in their faces. “You found your mate?” They ask, shocked. The king moves the collar of his shirt out of the way and flashes them his mark. “I must make a trip and introduce myself.” Mom smiles. “Absolutely not. My mate will not have any visitors from Blood Water Pack until it is known that it is safe. The two of you are just as unpredictable as the horrid boys you brought with you. Go home.” He demands.We watch as they walk through the woods, get in a car, and head down the mountain. “We put a tracker in their car. I will text you the information so you can se
Chapter 38- My father stole the Alpha position?“The true Alpha of the Blood Water pack was cruel. There was an uprising, and his son challenged him for the position of Alpha. It was what everyone within the pack wanted. For the safety of the entire pack, the son challenged his father. The day of, your father, not quite 18, was tasked with taking the notations of the battle. He was good at writing, so he was appointed to do that. The father and son fought. Your father’s notes said that the son had killed the father, then turned his sword to your father and challenged him. Your father could not deny the new alpha and fought him, bringing a swift death to the latest alpha and claiming the position for himself.Only the three of them were on that field, or so they thought. One of the former Kingsmen watched that day and said it was very different from what your father had described in his notes. According to the man the king sent in his notes, the father and son fought ruthlessly. They b
Chapter 39- Gamma Matt’s Story I sit in a chair under a tree to hear Matt tell me his story. “You have to understand that when I was little, we were not part of Execution Bay.” “I thought you were born and raised within the pack.” “Well, I was Born in the pack territory when we were members, and I was also raised there when we moved back into the territory. My parents were both Gammas. When I was nine years old and lived in a different territory, my father was offered the position of Beta to a very malicious Alpha. He forced my father to do evil things to everyone. Including rejecting my mother after thirteen years of being mated together because she was of a lesser rank than he was.” He stops speaking as Onyx approaches and sits next to me. “The Alpha forced my mother to give my father time with me. My disdain for my father’s new position brought the Alpha down on me more than I ever thought possible.He forced me to do intense physical labor when I was not in school.
Chapter 40– Demands from Clara We crawl into bed and circle things we wish to purchase for our little one. “What do you want them to get for the baby?” Onyx asks as we have the majority of the book circled. “I don’t know.” I flip some more pages before looking at him. “Does she sew or anything?” “Yes, she does sew and some kind of magic with yarn and a pen-looking thing.” He pretends to move his hands around, making a motion I know all too well. “Crocheting?” I laugh. “That’s it!” He claps happily. “I know what we want,” I state before picking up my phone and composing a message to her. “We received your letter and magazine.” She responds immediately. “What have you chosen?” “Well, we have almost everything circled within this magazine.” “Where is the butt?” Onyx laughs, reading her text over my shoulder. “It has to do with a butt. Ha ha. My little one will need something special to be wrapped in to keep warm this winter. A big Lycan told me you know how to sew and cr
Chapter 41- Back in Blood Water Onyx quickly opens the door, allowing him into the room as I pull the blankets higher on my chest. “What is the problem?” I ask. “He refuses to go. He has tried to kick, bite, and even attack anyone who goes in to assist him to leave.” He is irritated when he speaks. “Briar, this is your call.” Onyx insists. “I can talk to him. But drug his food to knock him out, just in case. Give me two trays and tell me which has the drugs in the food. I will eat breakfast with him and see if chatting will help change his mind.” I insist. “I don’t like that idea,” Brett announces. “Neither do I.” Onyx states. “I will stand in the room with them.” Matt enters the room and bows to us both. “I cannot ask you to do that,” I state. “He declared war, and it is my job to see that you are safe.” “Matt, is this a business or a personal matter for you at this point?” I ask to clarify. “Personal. He needs to know that I still have your back after everything that
Chapter 42 – Don’t drink the tea Sue, Mom’s right-hand lady, opens the door for us. “Please, come in.” She states before opening the door wider and standing out of our way to allow entrance. “Where are my parents?” I question her. “They will be back soon.” She struggles to state. “When did they leave?” King Aiden asks her, and immediately she gives him every answer he requests of her. “They left out the back door a few minutes before you got here. They told me to answer the door for you and seat you in the living room with tea until they returned.” “We will not require any refreshments or food while we are here; please cancel any plans you have made regarding those things.” He states before moving to the couch. “Please also note the time and announce when one hour has passed.” He says as he sits next to Onyx. We have been waiting for nearly an hour when my parents stroll into the house. “We hope you have not been waiting long. We had to step out for a few minutes to handle somethin
Chapter 43 – Let’s spy ourselves I walk to the nearest outdoor store in the territory. “What are we doing in here?” Onyx asks as he follows me. “We have the best view. We will start spying ourselves,” I state as I select a pair of binoculars and head toward the space section. His face lifts when he sees me grab a telescope. “You are brilliant.” He states as he takes the items from my hands.When we finish our purchases, we all carry bags back to the hotel. “Look how well these work!” Excitement flows through me as I hold the binoculars to my eyes and look around the territory. After a while, I set up the telescope and look around with a much closer view. “King Aiden, you want to see this!” I call him and step away from the telescope so he can see what I have. He looks through it for a long time, adjusting and moving it slightly to get a better view. He then retrieves his binoculars and looks to see what he can see. When he finally puts them down, he sighs. “The camp is
