Chapter 17
***Desmond’s POV***
There was a murmur of voices but I couldn’t move. I felt almost trapped in my body. I knew I was breathing, I knew I was sitting, and I knew there were people around me but I couldn’t do anything about it. What was going on? Why was I like this?
“We’ve literally tried everything!”
“Cold water, slapping him, even trying to bite his ear! Nothing!”
“Hold on boys, let Yvonne bring some of her mix.” That was my father. His voice was clearer than the others.
There was a moment of silence before I felt my chest pulled up into a sitting position.
“Careful, he might accidentally head butt one of you.” That was my mother.
I felt something brush against my nose and I took a breath. The scent slapped me in the face and I snapped my head up. Taking a deep breath, I looked around the room. My mother and father, Iggy, Scott, and Ricky were looking at me with worried looks on their faces.

I turned around and looked at all four of them. “What the hell just happened?” I yelled, my voice straining. “She ejected us?” Ricky looked at Marcus who was looking shocked at the forest. “Dad!” He blinked a few times and then looked at me. “She used earth magic.” “She’s not fey though. I thought you said she was human?” Iggy walked over to the front of the Jeep with us. “She isn’t fey. She’s human but I heard a rumor, I’m not sure if it’s true or not but…” He trailed off for a minute. “It’s said that she saved the fey queen from a disaster. The fey queen wanted to adopt her as a child of the fey. It’s more unheard of than the Alpha King giving her an Alpha soul.” “So she is an adopted child of the fey queen?” Ricky sounded shocked and confused. My father shook his head. “She declined the offer according to the rumors. However, the fey queen granted her the ability to tap into the earth, tap into magic.” Looking at me directly

I spent the day in the office at home. Catching up on paperwork that I had missed yesterday. Ricky had come by to drop off more and I just sighed, not even the strength to argue with him about the workload. Everything was taking twice as long as it normally did and I would glance at my phone every minute or so, seeing if Victor would call. The feeling of helplessness was not one I was accustomed to and it made me antsy. My foot tapped against the floor or my finger against the desk. “Dear?” I looked up at Helena, who had was leaning in the doorway of the office. “You should eat something for lunch.” Looking at the clock on my phone, I saw it was one-thirty already and nodded. “Did you want me to make something?” She smiled. “No, I picked up something from the store on my way back today. I have it set on the table.” Nodding, I put down the paper in my hand and stood up. I stretched, feeling the strain in my muscles. My body was involuntarily flexing th

I was breathing heavily. Scott had ushered the scouts out of the room before I exploded. My wolf was pacing just at the edge of my mind. Pushing me, egging me on. I started to pace the same way behind my desk, the chair had fallen on the floor and I just left. “Alpha.” Scott closed the door quietly behind him. “Alpha, you need to calm down.” He was looking at me through his own wolf eyes. I could see his neck turned and I realized that the room was filled with a storm of my Alpha presence. It thundered angrily. Scott was only one of two that would try to speak to me now. My father being the other, unaffected by my storm. Frowning, I paced more. Feeling my wolf pace next to me was comforting now. “Desmond.” I glared at him and growled. He flinched a little but held his ground in the room. “Desmond, reign it in.” The scouts told me that May had decided to not wait for the authorization. She decided to just leave on her own. No divorce, n

I jolted up. Looking around, I saw the worried faces of my father, mother, Scott and Derek. Putting a hand to my head, it sounded like a drum line banging around. It took a moment but I realized I was at my parents’ house, on their couch in the living room. I was trying to collect my thoughts. There was so much going on, jumbled emotions and I leaned over the edge of the couch. They were all watching me and I sighed. I was naked, covered in one of the quilts my mother had made. Looking down at my hands, I saw they were covered in red. Whose blood was this? I looked up at them, my hands starting to shake. “What…what is going on…” Scott looked away and turned, leaving the room. Derek also looked away. What the hell had happened? These two were with me when I tortured and killed countless people. They knew the type of person I was, and watching them turn from me made me even more worried. “What happened?” I let the edge in my voice leak through my question.

I could hear raised voices outside the room. It didn’t matter. Nothing mattered anymore. The pain was constant now. At first, I could deal with it. I could sleep and just wake up through the waves that would come. That was hours ago though. I couldn’t function now. My mother and father checked in on me every couple hours. At some point, I curled up in the corner of the room on the floor and stayed there through the majority of it. My back was against the wall and I buried my face in my knees in the dark room. What made it worse was that all this pain was also affecting my mate. My sweet human mate was writhing in this same pain. I could feel her through the bond. Her fear, her resignation, her sadness. I could feel her brush against me as well. I let her feel the regret, sadness, and longing I had for her. I didn’t want her to go through this too. I wanted to ease her pain even if it meant making my own worse. “Helena, for the last time, you cannot see him!”

***Olivia’s POV*** I watched it in slow motion. Ricky had broken free of Aamon’s Alpha presence and shifted, running toward us. Aamon had taken over completely. I saw it in his eyes and in the presence. There were a few moments I could feel Desmond as he tried to fight through the power of his wolf. He lost though. He had jumped, his jaws open as Ricky jumped from the side, trying to get between us. Desmond might have tried to stop but I knew Aamon wouldn’t. Marcus had talked about him the last few times we had spoken. The Demon Wolf as he was better known. Every few generations an Alpha would be born with him. Usually they became cruel and sadistic, Aamon eventually taking over fully. Hunters were well acquainted with the stories because when a new demon wolf was awakened, it usually meant that the elite hunters were sent to kill them before he could take over. Here I, an elite hunter, staring down the

To say I turned a few heads was an understatement. The moment I walked into the town, I think everyone stopped to stare. It was actually embarrassing. I knew this was what was going to happen but I didn’t think it would be as bad as the movies. When someone rides a bike past and runs into a pole because they were staring. That’s exactly what happened. You would think I would be used to it but I didn’t really stay in small towns like this for long periods of time. Big cities were used to eclectic groups of people and no one would give me a second glance. I walked across the street into the grassy park of the center square. Ducking into the marble gazebo, I reveled in the shade. The weather wasn’t hot but the two hour walk in the sun wasn’t exactly fun. Leaning against the gazebo railing, I looked out over the main city streets. The most attention I received had been from the pack members, not so much the fey or the tourists.

“F “Fucking shit. God fucking bullshit dumb ass…” I continued to curse as I pushed on the wrench that refused to give. Currently, I was under the house. I pulled up some of the rotted floor boards to get at the plumbing underneath the house. It took the entire previous day but I had cleaned out the water filter and pump on the side of the house. It was definitely where the green tint was coming from. The filter had been surprisingly undamaged and so I left it in there after cleaning it out. Now I just need to find where the hell the brown was coming from in the pipes. “Mother fucking dick…” I kicked the wrench with my heel. “Fucking move god damn it.” Kicking it again, I felt it budge every so slightly. Elated, I grabbed the wrench and pushed. It moved slowly, the creaking of the pipes filled the small space but finally it gave. “Holy mother above
