Nate I heard the shower shut off, notifying me that Devon had finished with his shower. It had been a long day. Vaccaro had returned to his kingdom yesterday, and Emerald’s cousin Malachi had shown up earlier today. I was still mildly surprised she threw Raven out of our bedroom window, but I wasn’t too surprised either. I smile when she moves closer to me on our bed. I have myself propped up on my side as I watch her sleep. “Stop being so creepy, brother,” Devon says. “Shut up. I still can’t believe she is pregnant with our pups.” I retorted. “I know; I really didn’t think it would happen the first time we mated her,” Devon admits. That surprised both of us. We figured it would take longer, but Marel informed us that the fae is a very fertile species. I don’t think he was surprised in the least that Emerald was already pregnant. We both look down at her when she lets out a disgruntled sound. Devon sat down on the other side of her and leaned against the headboard

Dax I pinch the bridge of my nose and close my eyes when Nalena tells us what she is doing and who she is talking to. Of course, Jax and I know Wasp. I have dealt with him in the past. So far, he has not done anything to make me not trust him. Everyone calls him Wasp because he is tall and thin, and his hair is long and blonde with black streaks in it. Although it doesn’t surprise me that he knows Zavian. Jax and I had heard the same rumours. No one knows if it is true or not. “From what I know and have heard he is from Europe,” Jax says. “Well, that would explain why no one here can figure out where he came from,” Nalena says. It is just the three of us in mine and Jax’s cottage. Jax and I thought it would be best if the two of us had our own place since Emerald was terrified of us when we first showed up. We talked to Alpha Jason, Devon, and Nate, and they agreed. I knew they felt bad having us not stay in the packhouse since we were guests and all, but they understo

Rich I know Emerald is up to something, but I can’t figure out what it is. When I saw Devon and Nate earlier today, and they said that she had gone for a walk, I was suspicious. I knew Helm was too. I have no idea how she convinced those two that she was really going for a walk. I couldn’t sense anything wrong when she came back, and she seemed to be in a good mood at dinner that night. I gave her a look and got a sweet smile in return. I don’t buy that sweet smile for a minute. That sweet innocent smile might fool the others but not me. “What do you think she is up to?” Helm asked. “I don’t know but she is definitely up to something,” I answer. Helm, Malachi, and I are sitting out back, relaxing by the pool. We are watching the women lounge around. I am kind of bummed because Sam had to go back to Alpha Jackson's territory for a few days to deal with some shit. Well, those few days have turned into a week, and I miss him. I feel someone hug me from behind, and I look

Vaccaro “I think we need to talk,” Sebastian says. He had just walked into my office and announced this. I raised an eyebrow at him as he sat down. I noticed he made sure to lock the door. He only did this if there was something serious he needed to talk about. I leaned back in my chair. I could tell he was nervous about this talk. “Ok what has gotten you all worked up?” I asked. “Two days ago a few of our guys were following some of Ryder’s men that they had been tracking. They were walking past a cafe when they noticed Zavian sitting there talking with someone.” Sebastian answers. He places a picture down on my desk, and I pick it up. What the actual fuck? The picture clearly shows Zavian sitting there talking with a woman. The woman is Emerald. The fact that she is sitting there laughing at something he said makes me worry. I look at Sebastian, and he is as confused about the two of them as I am. I have been trying to dig up any information on Zavian, but there is

Alpha Jackson I swear, why can’t we just have a normal conversation? Aiden, Gavin, Greg, Mia, and I had come back to visit. Jason had also texted me saying that Emerald, Vaccaro, Vaydyn, and Calynia were back and wanted to talk with us. I had a feeling that it was about Ryder and Scott. Those two had been quiet as of late, and I felt they were planning something. So we arrived yesterday just as the others pulled up. Devon and Nate pulled Emerald into their arms, and I thought they were being a little dramatic, but then Jason told me that Emerald had been visiting Vaccaro and his family for the last week. I smiled at those boys. I understood; hell, I hated being away from Penelope longer than a day or two. I couldn’t even imagine being away from her for a whole week. Jason had been keeping us updated with everything they had found out. I had heard of this Zavian guy, but it was the same rumours that everyone else had heard. “Please tell me that I didn’t hear what I though
