Chapter 38Just as I was trying to figure out what my mom is talking about, I heard and felt someone come up behind me and my aggression went to lethal in seconds.“You’ve been a bad girl, and I love bad girls.” This stupid fool tracked me down and was grabbing at me, and I’d had enough. I put my phone in my pocket and turned to give this “Chad” what for when he grabbed me holding me against his chest burying his head in my neck.My Lycan went off. My knee went up destroying his nuts. He went down but still didn’t get it. He kept scrambling for me, but I dodged him easily. This was turning into a joke; I was actually amused. Then it got serious.He didn’t like me dodging him, so he got more aggressive and starting trying to manhandle me. As he tried to grab me again, but he’d swung his arm and inadvertently hit me in the face. I was dazed and couldn’t shake him off fast enough.He was so happy thinking he had me that he didn’t see the fury in my eyes and that my Lycan was growing. Bef

Chapter 37I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. That saying, “It’s a small world after all,” is most definitely true. I mean I just discovered that my father, well step-father is a wolf and has been part of this world I’ve only just discovered. I needed a drink, a stiff one; and I didn’t even drink like that.Just when I felt I was spiraling, that beautiful scent that calmed every nerve surrounded me. It was orgasmic, every nerve, every vein, carried a calming balm that relaxed me and I craved more.“Babe, you okay? You are all over the place. What is going on?”The look I gave him made him lift me out of the chair and put me on his lap. I folded into his lap feeling like I was untouchable.Once I gathered my senses back I sat up and asked Talon, “Did you know that Sal and Shelley were related?”“’Yes I did.”Quick answer, no elaboration. Okay.“Do you know her family?”“Why would I know her family?”“Oh I don’t know, maybe because she was your designated fuck buddy. Didn’t you mark

Chapter 36“So what’s next?” My mom came outside wearing some hip-hugging jeans that hugged every curve with a top that had her cleavage at center stage. Her hair was down in these beautiful waves that looked like she’d styled her hair for hours; but those who know, knew all she did was unbraid her hair and that is what was left.She strode over to me, looking at my face before she put her hand over my forehead, then held my chin and smiled at me that made my chest warm from the inside out. I love my mama.I heard a low rumble that barely registered. I heard it because of my Lycan abilities and knew it was my father taking my mama in.I chuckled as I watched him stare at her like she was the only one out here. Talon held me tighter and buried his head in my neck and that took all my attention away. My dad grunted and looked away as I know he could smell the arousal between us both.“Ugh.” My dad said as he got up and grabbed my mother’s hand to go back inside. Of course, mom had other

Chapter 35“A Fae. They are a fucking pain in the ass. If they lock on to you, it is an act of God to make them leave you alone. I mean it takes years to make them change course. For example, have you ever noticed how foliage and flowers grow around you?”She thought about it.“OMG, there have always been flowers in bloom around me, even in the dead of winter. I always thought that was strange. Why is this still happening? I put him on his ass one day when he thought I wanted to go to the next physical step. It wasn’t anything big, I just showed him I wasn’t a pushover. I never saw him again.”“It’s a spell. When a Fae wants you, they cast a spell. One where they can always find you, track you.”“That’s such a fucking violation. Sorry dad, I can’t help it, I’m pissed off. How do I fix this?”He looked at her with such love in his eyes at hearing her call him dad. He took a long breath.“Well, they are very persistent and the spell only breaks when your heart truly belongs to another.”

Chapter 34Mr. Ulf lead me back outside and we sat on at a bench that overlooked the pool. This really was a beautiful place, but I had so many things in my head, I couldn’t seem to find a calming place to land.“I know your mind is in turmoil right now, but I promise you princess that this is only temporary.”I caught the ‘princess’ and it didn’t seem as wrong as it felt before.“This world is complex, but if you know how to navigate it, it isn’t so bad. You’ve been hit with so many new and unbelievable things, I’d have worried about you if you didn’t freak out. Do you have any questions for me that I can help you with?”“Questions? That’s the word of the century. It’s funny I have so many that I don’t know where to start. I was a normal, ordinary girl, finishing college, learning the ways of the world and then I find out that there is SO much more to this world that I could have ever imagined. It’s crazy.”“Yes it is. My dear I wish I’d had you sooner to be able to help you through

Chapter 33Chase POVThe drive home was painful. I was in quiet reflection, while Cathy chirped like a fucking parrot, not even taking a breath. I couldn’t figure out how I got here, I loved Gen. She was everything I wanted in a woman, beautiful, brilliant, and sexy. Man, that last one was definitely true.She turned me on in ways no one has ever done. Sex with her was explosive and addictive so once again, how the fuck was I in this predicament?“Chase are you listening to me?”“Not really.” She gasped like I’d slapped her.“I don’t know why I put up with your mistreatment of me.”“So why not fix that?” I said with no emotion, and I could tell she felt that.“Chase what’s wrong? Please talk to me, after all I’m your friend.”‘Ok, you want to do this? Let’s do this.’ I thought to myself as I planned to let it go.“Cathy, I’m still in love with Gen.”“I know.”I was mildly surprised at the even tone of her voice and that there was no hesitation.“And you’re okay with that?”“No, but I’

Chapter 80Epilogue Serene, her birth and delivery was the polar opposite of her brothers. While Hav and K came into the world like thieves in the night, and trust they are nothing like their deliveries, however Serene came into the world like a hurricane and yet she is the calmest, gentlest soul ever.The boys ran up to meet their sister and something in them just relaxes when they are around her. Phoenix found that when they were getting out of hand all she had to do is bring their sister around and like a Valium in the flesh, they would just chill right on out.Not only did it work on her brothers but also when there was conflict or strife in the pack her presence just brought the aggression down to nothing. She was awesome. She took after her father in everything. She had sandy brown hair, just like him. Her eyes that steel grey and she had dimples just like him.He loved the fact that his daughter, and she was his daughter, looked just like him and the fact that she wanted his at

Chapter 79Phoenix was busy with the finishing touches for the party tonight celebrating Kyle and Eden’s return. They’d been back in the pack for three days and tonight was the big deal. Gael came in fussing at her to go sit down somewhere because she was big as a house and needed to rest. Now normally those would be fighting words, but again, this pregnancy had Phoenix so chill that she just dismissed him and kept on until she was satisfied that everything was just so.Gael noticed that the weather had picked up, meaning the wind had increased, and the moisture in the air, so thick, signifying that a heavy rain was coming; and he frowned thinking that it may put a damper on the festivities, but this was an indoor party so Phoenix was unconcerned that the party would be ruined. The most that would happen is that people would get a little wet going into the venue.After securing that the food and alcohol were ready, Phoenix took Gael’s advice and went to lay down to rest. Gael came in,

Chapter 78Kyle dropped his head and even knowing that this was going to happen, it still felt like a kick to the gut. He reached out and held the still warm hand of the last remaining family member he had, and silent tears ran down his face. Eden held him, in a full hug, sobbing into his chest.She knew Uncle Ric from when she’d been in their pack, going to school and feeling like Kyle was her mate. She remembered the Alpha couple, Kyle’s parents, as they always treated her with love, and kindness. No one ever mistreated her there, that’s why it hurt so bad that Kyle disregarded her feelings like they’d never meant anything to each other once upon a time.It’s amazing how real love works, when it’s genuine. She found out from the Academy that the Commander’s uncle was in a bad way, and it took a day to get her affairs in order, and she was going to Kyle to support him however he needed.She showed up at the hospital and held back to give Kyle as much time as he needed to focus on Unc

Chapter 77Phoenix sat on the porch in one of the rocking chairs reminiscing the birth of Hav and K. It was miraculous how they were born. It was the night of a full blood moon, a rarity in and of itself. She went into labor and even with all her Ulfheonar strength and Freya sharing the pain, it was excruciating, but when the time came for the boys to come into the world; it was uncanny how much peace and calm spread across the room.It was like her boys were secret agents and their presence couldn’t be detected by enemy forces. They slid out one by one in silence, like kids on the jungle gym sliding through the tube. No pushing on her part. They didn’t cry or fuss. Doc Simmons placed one on each breast and they fed like titans getting their fill.Speaking of peace and calm this little bundle of joy that she was carrying presently, rarely moved, never caused any discomfort or even made a peep. Carrying her was even soothing to Phoenix. Even Gael noticed how chill Phoenix was, even when

Chapter 76Four years later…...Phoenix looked into the crib in awe once again over her beautiful boys. She held her, once again, pregnant tummy as she ran the back of her hand over the dimpled, rosy cheeks of these dark curly headed coils, like hers and those gray eyes; cuties, just like their dad. They had to sleep in the same crib, as they couldn’t be away from each other for long.This was a rare moment when the boys were sleeping. Their names weren’t as scary as they were led to believe. They always wanted to be involved, always wanted to help but there was always something extreme going on with them. They were appropriately nicknamed Hav and K, and they earned every bit of the havoc and chaos they caused.Phoenix was making some oatmeal on the stove, and she knew anything hot, electrical or medicinal had to be closely monitored by a team of individuals. She had Gael holding K and LaLa held Hav. That was the only assurance that nothing would happen.Once she got their plates made

Chapter 75Kyle grabbed Eden’s shoulders and shook her to keep her attention. She turned out of his hold completely done and ready to move on.“Kyle, don’t make this any more than it is. I’m going to find my own way. You should get back to the academy; among those you can trust.” She said that last word sarcastically.He strode back up to her and held her in his arms, still trying to explain and keep her there talking. Eden started looking around like she’d lost something. He began to look too.“Eden, baby, what are you looking for, I’ll help you.”“I’m looking for a fuck to give, but I’m fresh out.”She turned out of his arms and walked away. He was left standing there feeling like the whole world had come to an end. She, on the other hand, felt the world had just opened up and she was ready to embrace her destiny and become the force that nature intended.She ran all the way back to where they were staying and grabbed all her essentials and important paperwork and set off toward the
