"My daughter, Claire can be your Gamma," Enzo said quietly and I smiled. I told him that'd be awesome if she wanted but we didn't have a name for our imaginary pack. I couldn't call it the golden blood pack because not all the cryptids carried the rare blood. I'd have to sit and think about it, hopefully with the help of others. Enzo had left and came back an hour later with a full plate of pasta and told me I needed to eat a lot for the little wolf inside of me. Enzo was such a Godsend. He also told me he'd be working closely with Jordan due to his extensive knowledge on blood. I laughed softly as I ate quickly. "I don't have financial backing like Griffin has. How do the packs get their funding?" Enzo grinned slightly at my out of the blue question."All the members contribute to the pack is my understanding. Besides dear, your Beta is over three hundred and I invested my money well and own lots or territory for us all to frolic upon," he replied happily. I chuckled softly and fini
Circe couldn't tell me directly about what my future held but she did tell me I was going to have a strong blonde-haired son."Am I out of this place?" Circe smiled and told me that I was but I wasn't happy. "You need your mate. Tough decisions will have to be made which could ruin your friendship with someone special to you. That's all I've got, dear," she said softly and laid down. I frowned slightly and heard the door opening."They're here for you." I heard from Circe's cell. Great, I thought as a group of unknown medical personnel headed towards my cell."Take her to the showers and get her cleaned up," one woman ordered. I eyed her oddly and sensed something different about the woman. My cell was unlocked and another female soldier took me by my still cuffed arms with her to the communal showers. "Don't run when I unlock your hands. Enzo's plan is being postponed until he gets better since he is needed in order for it to work," she told me point-blank. I nodded and asked her wh
I sat in the dark room listening to all the others snoring, farting, and making odd sleeping sounds. It was early morning around twoish. I could see there was a full moon tonight by the multiple skylights in the ceiling. I was apprehensive about leaving with Enzo because a feeling in my gut was warning me not to. Aisha told me it was the vampire or being a blood factory for the government. "Pretty bleak options," I said quietly and heard the metal door being opened slowly. I looked down but couldn't see anyone yet. Making my way across the cell I stood near the bars glancing down the row. I was surprised by Zayn's face immediately appearing before mine and squeaked as I jumped back. "I'm getting you out if here, we're mates marked and mated, that bitch Claire told me the complete truth before she killed herself," he growled softly and I asked him how she managed to decapitate herself and he explained that there are ways and her fake father was told this. "What do you mean fake?" Zay
After an informative dinner, I was told that I'm wanted by everyone, even Interpol. Griffin told me I was safe here with him and I narrowed my eyes at him and sighed. Figures I'd need to be "rescued" by one of the world's most sought-after bachelors. Even if the women knew the truth about Mr. Moonstone all these females would still drop their panties willingly... I groaned midway through my thought and glanced over at the man in my thoughts. He reminded me a lot of Zayn. Both of them had dark hair, scruff, and strange green eyes. Only Griffin's eyes changed to a yellow when he was his wolf? "Cyrus," Aisha told me, then asked me why I was comparing the two men. I said that I obviously had similar tastes in men. She told me no because Zayn had been a blonde prior to dyeing it. "Oh right," I mumbled and Griffin asked me if I'd like a tour of his pack's compound as our wolves."The stars at night are amazing here," he said sincerely and Davina rolled her eyes, making me giggle. They both
I sat on the bed waiting for the men to come and remembered what Circe told me about my future and the mysterious man who was my soul mirror. Aisha was adding her two cents worth by telling me he was very handsome and had a limp. I rolled my eyes at her."Stop it, Aisha," I scolded out loud and Griffin grinned slightly at me."Is your wolf nagging at you too?" He asked curiously and I shrugged."Not really, she's just reminding me of what an ash tree nymph said about my soul mirror," I commented. He grinned and mumbled, "twin flames eh? That sounds interesting, want to tell me about it?" I looked at him in a panic and shook my head. "I'm certain that he's no one that you'd know," I mumbled"Cyrus just told me Aisha says your mystery mate is tall, dark, devastatingly handsome, and has a limp?" Griffin rubbed his chin in thought when the ATVs could be heard getting closer. He turned toward me and smiled."Can't think of anyone like that, even that limp part escapes me," he said sarcasti
I followed after the happy woman into a stunning lounge area and sat down upon a buttery leather couch. A pot of tea was steeping on the coffee table and smelled good."I overheard you at dinner speaking about Zayn Reed and that he was the father of the child you carry," she started and I nodded. Jack poured us both a cup of tea and was hesitant to continue. "Zayn was Griffin's older brother but Griffin was unaware of his existence due to a messy divorce of his parents. He also has a younger sister named Echo," she told me point-blank. I cocked my brow and told her Zayn had blonde hair. Jack laughed and told me he had pink, green, and blue too because he was forever coloring his hair. I took a sip of the tea and Aisha growled softly that I had noticed the two men's similarities."Is it normal to be mates with two siblings?" I asked curiously and she grinned."I believe that your true mates with only one but your estrus can be provoked by a close blood relative." I exhaled deeply and
I headed downstairs and into the foyer. It was mid-afternoon and I felt anxious and wanted to do something. The door opened and Griffin was storming inside with both Scotty and a woman I hadn't met yet. He was hauling them by their necks. Scotty looked up at me terrified and my heart broke."Don't hurt him," I growled menacingly and Griffin eyed me oddly. He rolled his eyes and continued on to his office. Not long after, Davina was pounding erratically on the front door and came inside without being let in. "Where did he take them?" I pointed down the hall and she rushed down it yelling for him to stop whatever he was doing. I shook my head and headed outside and was surprised to see it full of working pack members. It made me miss my home in Colorado. I passed the groups and headed out into the forest. It was a lovely day and the air was clean and crisp. Aisha suggested that we find a place to strip and take a run. I asked why I wasn't experiencing the mate heat and she explained th
I asked what happened to Davina as we pulled up to his home. He looked at me and sighed."She and her girlfriend Monique were intent on getting both you and me out of the way so she could take over the pack. I had my suspicions when I was captured that she was behind it and came to find out that she in fact handed me over during one of my drunken stupors. Good thing I'm not a lush any longer," he said assuredly. I nodded and listened attentively as he continued."I've been informed that there are individuals who have the same gold blood like you and are prized at each of the facilities. For what reason I'm not sure but I do know that the government is mapping how and what venoms were used to create it and they know it first must be human and then a bite by a werewolf hybrid. They're mapping DNA and creating monsters that shouldn't exist in order to find the correct "venom" and it's causing chaos in the world of cryptids. We all live in an order of balance. We have royalty and our own
