Maeve I had been trying to visit Luke at every opportunity, and despite everything that was going on, today was no exception. I may not have a lot of time, but I still needed to see him. After teleporting onto his front porch, I gently knocked on his door. When he answered, his lips formed into a huge smile that his short beard couldn't hide. He immediately placed his hand on the back of my head, gently pulled me towards him, and captured my lips with his own. Regretfully, I didn't allow our kiss to last long. "I can't stay, everyone expects me to help with greeting the guests for the summit." Luke scowled as he looked into my eyes. "I don't like the idea of you being around all of those unmated wolves." I couldn't help but laugh. "For someone who doesn't have a wolf, you sure are jealous like you have one." Luke's face fell and he immediately switched subjects. "Have you told anyone yet?" I looked at his chest to avoid eye contact with him. I knew he wasn't going to l

Jaycee I had just finished weed whacking so that the boys could put down fresh mulch and was on my way up the stairs to take a shower when I heard my name called out from behind me. I turned around to see my sister-in-law staring at me with her hands on her hips, and a very disgruntled look on her face. "Izzy," I said casually with a forced smile before I turned back around and continued up the stairs. "Don't you even .... What's going on?" Izzy asked with a no-bullshit tone. Great .... today, of all days ...... "I don't know what you're talking about," I replied coldly, trying to get out of the conversation. I knew exactly what she was talking about. "Look, my sister might be turning a blind eye to your shitty attitude, but I'm over it. If you don't fill me in on whatever your problem is, I'm going to get Rhi and Sylvia involved," Izzy threatened as she ran up the stairs after me. I let out a sigh as I reached the top of the stairs and turned to face Izzy, who look

Freya Once Falco made sure I was safely back in my room, I went to the shared bathroom, brushed my teeth, and laid down on my bed. I tried to get some sleep, really, I did. But my brain just wouldn't relax. Everything was turned upside down in a matter of minutes, and of all times, it happened right before the Alphas and Lunas were due to arrive. I didn't want this .... not right now. What the fuck is going on, Kiera? "Clearly, we have TWO mates," Kiera said happily. Yeah, no shit. But what about that vision? Kiera scoffed sarcastically. "You highly overestimate my knowledge. I know about as much as you do. You and Falco are going to have to talk to your parents about that." Now was no time to talk to Mom and Dad. Nor Aunt Rhi. She deserved to know what we saw.I sat up and grabbed my phone and opened a chat with Zane. Obviously, I wasn't getting any rest. So I might as well cross talking to him off my list .... I just didn't want to mind link him .... not right now.

Zane With today being Falco and Freya's birthday, neither one of them wanted to have anything to do with anyone from the opposite sex. As the girls cleaned one of the multi-room guest cabins, Kaden, Falco, Manny, Aiden, and I did yard work at the banquet hall. "I can't wait for this damned summit to be over with," Kaden grumbled as he pulled some weeds to prepare for the fresh mulch. Manny wiped the sweat from his forehead with his t-shirt. "Yeah, I'm not opposed to doing extra work, but I didn't realize Seth would want things so damn perfect." I quietly shook my head as I continued raking the mulch that Aiden put down. Falco's face suddenly paled and he turned around and threw up behind one of the flowering shrubs. "Dude! What the fuck?! I JUST put that mulch down!" Aiden yelled as Manny turned around and started to dry heave. Kaden started laughing at Manny. "I hope you pick a profession that doesn't require a strong stomach!" Falco spat a few times before he immedi

Freya The girls and I were going around to help make sure that everything was set for the summit, and we were FINALLY in our last room. Yeah, there are Omegas that get paid to take care of these things, but with large events like this, we all help out. We learned at a young age that Seth doesn't treat anyone differently based on rank, and that the pack does best when we all work together. Plus, we get in trouble if we don't help. "So, Jessie, how have things been going with you and Zeke?" Layla asked with the cheesiest smirk as she wiggled her eyes. Jessabelle's eyes lit up as a genuine smile formed on her face. "Slow. They're going slow and that's exactly how I want them to go right now. We're just taking time to get to know each other. We both have our own issues we need to work on, so slow is perfect." "Why is he back, anyway?" I asked out of curiosity. Jessabelle shrugged. "Honestly, I don't know. We haven't talked about it yet. I'm sure I'll find out when he's ready to

Roxanne It's been far too long since we've been back at the pack house for longer than just a day or two. Sitting around the living room with everyone felt like the good old days. I only wish that it could be under different circumstances. "This isn't exactly bad. More like preparation for the future!" Batiti said excitedly. I knew my wolf was just happy to be back where we could not only shift without judgment, but train as well. But that's not why we're back ..... "What is so urgent that you had to come home right before the summit?" Sam asked with suspicious eyes as he leaned back on the couch. "Usually trying to get you out here is a months-long process, even for a day visit." I sighed, knowing this was going to be difficult to explain. "I want to start by reminding you all how my own mate didn't tell me I would actually be pregnant with four girls, but it would look like 1 on the screen. So I don't want to hear anything from any of you regarding being upset about secr

FionaI felt like a child in a classroom as we all looked at the two gray-haired women standing before us. Their combined aura was more intimidating than I cared to admit. I got the impression that Anne was much older than Aisling, despite looking like she was the younger of the two."I'll make this as short as possible, as I have somewhere else I'm needed that's honestly a lot more important than being here, explaining things to you .....""Short, but obviously not sweet," Dhara quipped from Matthew's lap with a smirk as Sharia and Maya giggled.My eyes widened as they went from Anne, to Dhara, and back to Anne again."Just like your mother, aren't you?" Anne asked as she glared at Dhara.Aisling rolled her eyes, clicking her tongue in irritation. "You all just need to shut up for once and listen to Anne. She knows more than all of you put together. It wouldn't exactly hurt you to have a mentor of her standards."Anne smiled as Dhara's face fell. "Aisling and I have known each other f

FionaThe air was eerily quiet around us as the sun set in the background, making the sky look like it was angry, or possibly embarrassed. I honestly couldn't tell which.It was as if nature itself knew the severity of what I had just done, and was shocked into silence. Not a tweet from a bird, a bark from a squirrel, nor a rustle of leaves from the wind, as there wasn't even a slight breeze. I couldn't even hear the water splash from Seneca Lake. It was like everything stopped to contemplate the meaning of life. After I swallowed the scratchy lump that had formed in my throat, I opened my mouth to speak, my voice hoarse thanks to the fire that had escaped it. "Why don't you all go home and try to relax for the night. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for showing up and supporting me. The others and I have a lot to discuss and try to figure out."As if the Earth's silence became their own, the group of water fairies that stood behind me quietly dispersed.I turned around and

Senora The burning lava substance made it's way towards Aisling, as screams from the crowd filled the air around us, a combination of shock, fear, and anger as to what they were seeing of their elders.Rieka immediately stepped between Aisling and the burning material, stopping it with her powers."A little help would be nice!" Rieka yelled as she pushed her feet into the dirt to brace herself.You know how they say everything was in slow motion? Well, it wasn't. I didn't even have a chance to react as I watched from the porch, a mixture of emotions coursing through my body. I was completely clueless about how to react, and if it wasn't for Rieka ...."Colton, what the fuck are we supposed to do?! They're our elders!"Colton turned and looked at me with an equally confused and shocked expression. "You're asking me?! The fuck if I know!"Cerulean shook his head. "Rhi is the only one of us that can actually stop them without fighting them .....""We fu.cking SHOULD be fucking fighting t

FionaThe events that took place were all just a little too surreal. I was still having a hard time believing that the six dragon elders simply washed their hands of their long-standing duties, leaving the deities in complete charge of their hemispheres. But I suppose when you've gone so long living a lie about things that you stopped believing in, and losing children because of those things, you stop caring. Funny how the fear to stand up for what's right leaves one's mind once others are willing to do the same.The elder dragons all made their way back to their homes to take care of business, while the rest of us did the same. Once we were just a few hours from home, we decided to rent an SUV big enough to seat the seven of us comfortably and drive the rest of the way back. It was simply easier than trying to fly into the city as exhausted as we were.I was honestly enjoying the ride as I leaned onto Levi and he wrapped his arm around me. Everything finally felt .... right.Rhi's voi

Beckett"Trust me," Joseline said.Two simple words. For years, the fairies didn't trust the dragons. To be honest, we never really even had much to do with them. Whenever there was a ceremony held, everyone was invited out of courtesy, nothing more.But now the twist of fate has ripped the door of change off of its hinges, allowing things to happen that were never allowed to happen before. Changes that should have been allowed to take place so long ago, but couldn't thanks to a few of the close-minded, power-hungry, and arrogant elders in power. That, mixed with the fear that many had to stand up to do what's right.This is what happens when we allow others to have the power to be in control for so long. When one tries to force others to think, feel, and believe what they do, they no longer care about anyone other than themselves. Mix it in with a fear of what they don't understand and anger about what they don't agree with, and it creates hatred that shouldn't be. A hate that those i

FionaThe Andes, Copahue volcano to be specific. Of course, we would have to travel a ridiculous distance away from home and that puke would go to his own hemisphere. We all knew Glaurung would, it was just a matter of him tiring himself out enough to make a mistake and alert Fafnir of his general location. Despite the reason we were here, and the fact that we were bouncing around in one of the Avtoros Shaman 8x8s that Fafnir insisted on buying, I still appreciated nature's beauty as I looked out the window. It was raining, after all. What more could I ask for?In true fashion, I pissed off those who I instructed to stay behind when I told them that they had to watch over things in my absence, which went over as well as accidentally using super glue instead of lube on your privates.I can understand their frustration. Honestly, I can. Whereas I told them it wasn't their fight, it's really not my fight either, and yet here I am. I couldn't risk my fairies' lives for this, and I really p
