I have been getting text after text from Jacob the entire day. He has finally figured out that JoJo is here with me, though he still doesn’t know where here is. It is exhausting trying to get him to leave me the fuck alone, while at the same time trying to get JoJo to at least talk to him. At least tell him that she wants nothing to do with him. I still can’t believe that Jacob did this. And he’s not only made it so that he and JoJo have rejected each other, but he’s torn apart their trio. All for what? Because he was in love with someone else? He had to know that no relationship before the mating bond is anywhere worth it. That even chosen mates don’t really have the same bond that fated mates do. That’s why most wolves will wait years, shit decades, to find their mate. It hadn’t happened since the war. Not since we have all become a single pack and required that every wolf from the ages of 16 to 25 come to the academy in Arcadia. It made it so that anyone who had a wo

It’s about three hours before the Riding Hoods are supposed to enter the fae realm. I made sure that I was “chosen” for guard duty earlier today so that I could get my warding materials out to the entry point and the beginnings of the spell started. I had to be careful not to do too much. The Red One would notice if any part of the spell was activated or if too many of the ingredients started to hold a charge. And that would be a problem. Though, she would be even more pissed if she had any idea how many of her witches liked to go into battle stoned as fuck. We each had plots of land in the ether that we used to cultivate whatever we needed to grow for our spells. I had an entire acre dedicated just to weed so that I could use it to barter with those witches. They seemed to think that it helped them access their powers. What it really did was dull their senses and make them less afraid. But it also made them slower to respond and eaiser to get the jump on. But hey, who am

The relief that floods through my body the second that I hear her voice in my head is enough that I have to steady myself on the wall beside me. My legs almost went out from under me as I got back my balance. We’re standing in the plane as we wait to find out where to go. Everyone in the plane seems fine with the arrangement except for Kanati and Kamama. It is quite obvious that the god and his translator don’t travel by plane and they aren’t convinced that it will make it into the air, let alone stay there. Are you ok, Kayla? How are the pups? They didn’t hurt you guys at all, did they? The questions are coming out of my mouth fast and furious, but I can’t help it. I haven’t spoken to my mate for two weeks. My pregnant mate. My newly mated pregnant mate. I need to touch her. I need to hear my pups’ heartbeats. I need to have her in front of me as quickly as possible because my wolf hasn’t let me rest since she’s been gone. I know that Brandon feels the same as he gri

The second that Kayla had told us that they were out, the pilot had started take off procedures. We had just been told to sit and seatbelt when Nyx shouted out where they were. A quick G****e search gave me directions to the Daina pack. They would get there before we did, but that was ok. As long as my mate and my son-in-mating were safe, I would be ok. What do you guys think we should do about Nyx? Do we completely trust her? Zak asks through the mindlink. He’s got a point. I mean, she is supposed to be the next Red One. She’s super powerful and has every reason in the world to hate us. Charlie and Xander trust her. Arya responds. So do Kayla and Esteban. I remind him. And I get that, but there’s no one that will be able to stop her until one of these two planes get there. We’re the only ones that have the powers to stop her. Zak says. I just think it might be a good idea to put her in iron until we get there. Just in case. Especially with the Red One able to portal

Esteban had mindlinked me about two hours ago, telling me that they were finally on their way. And they will be here soon. As in any minute soon. My fathers had insisted that Kayla get checked over by none other than Dr. Hazel, who was hanging in the Diana Territory while we tried to figure out the whole Riding Hood thing. And I whole heartedly agree with that plan. I just hate that it means that my mate is going to be even later getting here. It’s nearing midnight and normally I would be exhausted, but just the thought of having my mate here has me bouncing off the walls. “Chris, I love you. You are amazing and all that crap. But if you don’t sit the fuck down, your mate is going to find you tied to a chair!” Uncle Dev says. I cock an eyebrow at him and cross my arms. “He might enjoy that.” “Ugh! Shut up, shut up, shut up!” Uncle Dev cries out covering his ears. Meredith, Sandra, Bhakti, and Thomas bust out laughing at Uncle Dev’s antics. The only thing that brin
