ThirtyRoman EliotHe was relieved that he had finally shown her his journey to find her. He hadn’t known how she would react. But now that they had finally slept together, he felt solid with her. And that she was willing to have Ares help Winter had also convinced him that Nora was ready to see the journey that he had been on to find her. Then---then she had said that she was “horny with gratitude” and wanted to know where his room was.Which was how they found themselves in one of the many guest rooms of The Stellarum, with Nora completely naked, ready to be fucked once again. People didn’t like to admit that mates had their difficulties. And as much as he had wanted them to be one of those couples that instantly knew they were supposed to be together, he felt glad that they weren’t. Nora had been through something dark as a young woman.He had earned her trust.That was important to him. Because once he was Alpha, they would have to lead the pack together. And it wouldn’t work if t

Thirty-two:Roman Eliot The Powerists had come to The Stellarum. The witches, the warlocks, the vampires, the fae, the ghosts…all of the magical beings the universe could have thought of. They had gathered in the dining hall. His father and mother sat at the head of the table, looking out over all of them, and he sat right by his father’s side. “I didn’t think this many people would be angry,” said Roman. Elaine glanced at him. “You underestimate the power of ignorance, son.” Remington put a hand on Roman’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. We’ll talk to them. I’m sure we’ll be able to calm them down.” “What if that isn’t all that it takes, dad?” Roman asked. He had even spotted Glinda off in the far corner. She hadn’t made eye-contact with him. Glinda had always helped the pack before. They’d been good friends for ages. He had never imagined that his mate would come between them like that. But Glinda insisted that Nora played a big part in her fu

Thirty-four:Roman Eliot “How do we even begin to find them?” Roman asked. “Well, that’s the trouble,” said Glinda, “no one really knows how. The Night Coven live in a magical community that moves whenever the group feels threatened. Merrick is the high priest of it, and he’s incredibly paranoid.” The two of them were in Roman’s study. The rest of the Powerists had gone, waiting for Roman to call on them when they were needed. Roman played with his hair anxiously. “Can’t you, I don’t know, seduce him here?” Glinda shook her head. “No, I can’t do that. If I were to do something like that, it could alter my future. I’m not even sure how much damage I’ve done by telling you our children are going to be mates.” “How do you know for sure that Merrick is who you’re going to end up with?” Roman asked. “I’ve been having visions. Actually, I had one on the day that Nora showed up. That was part of why I was acting so stran

Thirty-six:Roman Eliot “You are annoying.” This came from Ares. Roman glowered at him, then punched the punching bag that Ares was holding in place as they worked out in the gym. It had been days and they hadn’t heard back from Glinda yet. They couldn’t do anything about finding Nora or Winter because they had no idea where The Night Coven was yet. “You’re being annoying too,” Roman said, “you’re radiating anxiety like me.” “Yes, well,” Ares pulled away from the punching bag, “you’re bothering me about it. It’s not only your mate that was taken. And at least your mate actually acknowledges you as your mate. Mine refuses to have anything to do with me. Anyway, The Night Coven can’t be more powerful than your connection with Nora. Why can’t you use that to find them?” Roman pulled away from the punching bag. “I’ve tried. She’s not answering me. She told me Merrick was muscled…” Ares chuckled. “Are you jealous?”

Thirty-eight:Roman Eliot He tried to remember what he knew of his mom’s past. He knew that when she first found out she was his dad’s mate, she hadn’t bene happy about it. She’d been in love with someone else. He also knew that she came from some place in upstate New York and that her family hadn’t approved of the whole thing which was why they hadn’t seen them in ages. He knew his mother. But at the same time, he realized, he didn’t know his mother. He knew Elaine Eliot, the pack Luna. He couldn’t say anything about Elaine Eliot, the girl, or Elaine Eliot, the young woman. She had always been this fearsome force that he knew better than to make angry. “Are you going to knock?” Aion asked. He turned to glare at his friend. “Yes, I’m going to knock.” “Okay, because you haven’t done it. And you know that she’s the one that has the clue to finding Nora. Do you not want to find her?” “Of course, I want to find her!” he snarled.
