She is no where to be found” Liam says.“ You will have to look for as soon as possible, you can’t give up” Moon goddess says.“ I know and I can’t never give up because I wish to see her again beside she is caring my child” he says.“ Then you will have to put effort in looking for her” Moon goddess says and Liam had promise to looked for her.It’s been months later and Mia belly is now big, she enjoys leaving in the human world, after she discovered that she was giving birth to twins a boy and a girl, she was happy but sad at the same sad because in the future her kids will ask their father and they’re I’ll ask her questions.In the white moon park, the rate of death are getting high and no means to look for Mia, Liam Seuss go to Clan park maybe he will have information about Mia but still she was no where to be found, Jessica was happy that Mia was stillMissing and she hope she never showed up again but Liam will do his possible best to look for her.Dan has been doing his investigation and he had vow never to give up until he will meet his love again.Months later, Mia fell into labor and she was rushed to the hospital, she gave birth to twins a girl and boy, she danced them ( Brian and Brianna), she was happy that she has finally see the face of her kids, she was emotional and overwhelmed.The investigation still continues, Dan got to the uncompleted building Mia slept the night her father banished from the parked and he tried to think where could Mia be at the same time Liam did not also give up after so many months.Five years later, Mia is still missing and Dan had lost himself lost in thought, Mia’s mum came to Dan’s house and he met him drinking and she stood the bottle of alcohol from him.“ Why are you doing this to yourself?” She ask.“ Mia! My love is no where to be found and you expect to be fine.

Just tell me where she is”Dan says and Rose was happy that she will see her daughter once more again and she wait to share the news to Caleb and she left.Liam was seated under a tree and lost in thought, Jessica saw him and she sees it as an opportunity to get more closer to him, she went close to him and she seated beside him.“ Stop thinking about this girl, I don’t think there is possible to still see, it’s five years already” she says.“ Death every day but I don’t think you care about that, I will look for her and I believe that one day, I will find her” he says and he stood from under tree and he thought of going to see Nikki, Mia’s friend.“ Where are you going to?” She ask.“ I need to be left alone for now” he says and he didn’t tell her where he was going and he left in his car, Jessica was happy because she believed that Mia can never be found.It’s already 2 pm, Brian and Brianna ran out of their classes to hug their mother Mia.“ Sweetheart, tell me how was your classes today?” She ask while she was smiling.“ It was very sad mum” Brian says and the kids were sad.“ Why was it sad today darling?” Mia ask.“ Our class teacher asked us about our dad and we could not answer to her questions” Brian says and Mia was sad because she knew that this day will come.“ The worse part is that, some of our classe mate called us bastard and some mocked us that we don’t have a father” Brianna says and tears fell from Mia’s eyes and she quickly clean it up so the kids won’t suspect.“ Mum! When will you tell us who our father is?” Brian says and Mia don’t know how to explain to them that she does not know who their father is and also they are not human but have supernatural power.“ Wr should leave from here now, I will change you both to another school” Mia says.“ How long will you keep on changing us to another school when ever people bullied us? We only want to know who our father is” Brianna says.“ Alright, I promise, i will tell you who your dad is but we need to leave from here now” Mia says and she stop a taxi and she entered with the kids and she was in deep thoughts looking at her kids.“I can’t let people keep on bullying my kids, I need to do something about this” she says in her mind while she was still in the taxi.Chapter 5Liam got down from his car and he was about to go to Nikki’s house and he saw Nikki with a friend and he hide in a corner and he heard them talking about the good news that Mia has been found and she now leave in the human world and Liam was happy to hear the good news and he left and go back to his car, he drove back to his place to tell them the good news.Rose got back home and she met Caleb sipping blood, she was happy hearing the good news that her daughter will be back soon, Caleb notice that she was happy and not moody.“ You look so happy” he says.“ Yes, I am very happy right now because Dan will bring back our daughter to us” she says and Caleb was surprised.“ How is that possible?

Is everything ok?” She ask.“ I don’t know how I will face
We can’t stay any longer.” My best friend’s gentle tones broke into my misery. “If we don’t get going, we won’t have time to get settled before winter.”“Can you believe this used to be our home?” Because I couldn’t. Where once there had been nothing but open ranch land, a developer had placed their stamp. And by stamp, I meant over a thousand housing units. Mostly single “ranch-style” homes and townhomes, but a few apartments as well, with a centerpiece of a shopping center complete with Walmart and Olive Garden and half a dozen fast-food outlets. Among other things. Basically, those who lived there might never have to leave the development unless they wanted to. There was even a two-story medical-dental office structure.Everything new and shiny and made of materials created in factories. The landscapes were bespoke or maybe tailored or something to the clients who purchased them. Carson Valley’s natural high desert environment was suffering terribly under current drought conditions
It was, and the sun was still visible over the Sierras to the west. “I thought we’d go at least until sunset and then find a place to set up the tent. Unless you’re tired?”“No, not really. Not yet.” He sucked in a deep breath and let it out in a longwhoosh. “Smells good already.”I sniffed, letting the clean pine-scented air fill my lungs. Technically we weren’t in the foothills, but it appeared that way since the valley sat at nearly 5000 feet above sea level. I turned around and walked backwards, taking in what might be our last view of the area where we’d grown up for a while. “If we go another hour or two, we’ll get some real distance behind us.”“Agreed. I’m ready to let my wolf out. He’s been antsy for a while.”“Mine, too. It was their den as much as our house.” Leaves crunched under our boots, a reminder of how late in the year it was but also a balm to my really rattled soul. Our garden had been a sanctuary, but since it was gone, massacred by progress, I’d missed the quiet
I was not meant to be alone.And I had been. For far too long. If the worst happened and I died of hypothermia or was taken down by a poacher who spotted movement and shot without thinking, it was better than the way I had been living.I hoped that Nikky, my neighbor’s daughter, would be good to my poultry. I’d have brought them if I could, but how would I have led a flock of chickens, geese, and ducks over the mountains?I had to press on, no matter who or what had groaned or made a noise that sounded like one. Every step took me closer to where I wanted to be, where I prayed I’d be welcomed or at least allowed to remain. In the distance, the moon’s reflection brightened a lake, and I made for it, ready to replenish my water stores. Luckily, I had a filtration straw, so I wouldn’t have to treat it any other way and ruin the taste. Like with the iodine tablets I’d used before a guest left the straw behind after a visit.Mike I hurried down toward the shimmering body of water and crou
A guttural moan came from the man behind me. He was awake. The stiffie might have told me so, but I didn’t want to mistake morning wood occurring late at night for a deliberate attempt to fuck me.So, I gave another squeeze, the tip grazing my ready hole. “Feel good, Jessica ?”“Yes. It feels pretty great.”“Understatement of the year from my position. Any idea how this happened?”“No.” He nipped the spot where my neck met my shoulder. “But it’s about time, isn’t it?”I didn’t want to believe it. We’d been friends forever, business partners in our gardens that had ended so disastrously. We’d had such an incredible life together so far, sharing everything, all but the one thing I’d craved deep within my soul. I licked my lips, prayed for the right answer to the question I was about to ask. “About time for what?”“To mate.”My eyes flooded with tears, but this was not the time to cry or discuss something so right. Why now? That was a question for another time or one that perhaps might n
A good day.We hiked on, discussing our plans for building gardens up here and how we wanted to develop a seed program around native plants of the area. We thought it might be a way to earn a living as well as do something valuable to the earth. Liam pointed out various plants he thought we could incorporate into our program, and I appreciated once again how he had been able to pivot from the plans we’d had before to the ones we were building now.“Maybe it was the stress we were under?” Liam posited. “Maybe that was why we were ready to be together?”“Doubtful.” I bent to rub my fingers over a low-growing shrub to release its scent. “We’d been under that stress for months before we came up here. Don’t you think it might have been our wolves? They might have gotten tired of our hesitation.”“Had yours ever pushed you in any way to speak out? To act on your feelings?”I considered as we came to the top of the trail above the lake and began a switchback down to a high meadow. “No, actua
Liam My wolf was remarkably pleased to have the female join us. I supposed that was because he liked to be around as much pack as possible, and he seemed to regard Mia as a pack member. She hadn’t been accepted yet, but it was probably going to happen. According to our new traveling companion, she had skills that would be valuable to us. Baking was always popular, but working with poultry was a good thing. Also, she could weave a bit, and I knew old Helga was dying for someone to help her with that.A bigger worry was the look of the sky. As soon as we’d gotten off the switchbacks, we also left the fog behind, and the overhead picture was that of clouds pregnant with snow. Something the pack would welcome because we needed the snowpack of winter to grow crops in the spring and summer. There had been so little for so long. But we were not anywhere near where we wanted to be—where there were a few scattered travel shelters we could have holed up in, meaning, we were going to have to ca
“But how?” she whispered. “We were…we were in our fur and sleeping, and now…did you make this happen?”Now I did roll, onto my back, wanting to be prepared to catch her before she fled into the cold and maybe suffered some kind of harm. Outside the tent, the wind was still high and slashing the branches above us. Despite the thick, interwoven canopy, snow had piled upon the tent again, and I’d have to push it off soon. But not quite yet.“No, we didn’t. We wouldn’t have any idea how to do that—or that it was even possible until it happened to us last night. When we get to Triple L, we’ll see if anyone else has more information.”“But you’re safe with us.” Liam laid his head on my shoulder and offered her a smile. “We offered you protection and shelter, and we’d never violate that.”“Good to know.” She sounded just a little snarky, and I liked her even more for it. “Because I’m feeling a little vulnerable here.”“Of course you are.” Taking a chance, I slipped an arm over her shoulders
