“I know that he wants to go,” Marie paused and looked across the table at me, “but I don't have to like it.”
“Why even take the risk of revealing his lineage at all?" It was something Terran only just found out about for sure a few years ago, "Seems like a pretty bold move.”
Even though we had met members of the Timber pack growing up, we only met Terran through a council meeting when we were younger because he was mated to Marie. As far as he knew then, he was an Earth Fae, but Nixon's abilities recognized the fire within him and started him down the path to his true lineage.
The fact his lineage existed at all was dangerous enough. If the other three lineage leaders found out, they'd have wanted to test his abilities,
LINDEN “Perfect,” Marcy mumbled, fixing my tie and smoothing over my suit as we prepared to go and greet the newborns of the pack. The cute way she bit her lip when she was focusing, making sure it was just how I like it, made me want to give her the whole fucking world. “You are,” I whispered and she jumped a little, unaware I think that she had spoken out loud, and a blush rushed to her cheeks as she smiled wide and dropped her hands from my suit. Terran was already gone, and with the uncertainty of what his actions would bring coupled with Alice being home, it was a good time to solidify our bonds with the pack. When we made our way down to the hall there were pups running around with some of the other mothers outside. They were climbing all
LINDEN Alice fake lunged at Declan, and it was fake because she let me intercept her. She turned around and grumbled under her breath as she made her way to where she was. ‘That was the only warning you’ll get from her,’ I linked Declan, ‘if you value your tongue you might want to keep the “helpful” comments to yourself and mind your place.’ “This stops now,” Nixon breathed, “Finn either gives up the hunt for his father’s killer, or he gives up his Alpha title and relinquishes the rest of his pack to us.” If only it were that simple. When his father lost his life, we offered to integrate their pack into ours because their pack is vulnerable when considering their size, and with Finn being inexperienced it seemed like the best plan. Finn demanded that he be left in cha
LINDEN “I doubt Finn is going to take on Lucius,” Alice whispered to Declan. Declan stood there, the information that Lucius had been the one to end the previous Alpha of Black Claw was new to him. The wheels in his head were spinning, as they should be. Finn was drawing dangerous attention every time he sent a scout out trying to look for one of the Vamp Lords. His father had painted a target on Black Claw’s back, and Finn kept them in harm’s way. “You’re letting her go, knowing that?” “Are you questioning us?” Nixon narrowed his eyes at Declan. “I think your admiration for your Alpha has blinded you to how truly brutal and ruthless she is. I want you to personally check the border,” I told Declan, dismissing him s
ALICE "Katherine is staying here," I clarified as they both looked at me with concern, but fuck it. I was the one going, I get to choose who I take. Aydin needed to learn to temper his temper and Katherine needed to learn that sometimes duty comes before mates. Maybe I'm feeling particularly jaded about it right now, but Aydin was a strong fighter and his senses were almost as good as ours. I trusted him to watch my back, watch our surroundings. One of the guards brought out a platter of food, fully stacked and set it in front of Nixon who sat up at the little patio table and dug in. "Where did you go?" Linden snarled. Nixon always ate three times his body weight after lots of flashing around so I'd requested they have it ready for him. He did me a huge favour i
ALICE 'It's Finn's head,' Nixon's words floated through me as Linden alerted the pack to go into lockdown. They'd practiced this over and over growing up. Everyone was to be indoors, those who were able to fight would stand guard just inside their doors, where some houses were equipped with special lights to flip on if needed. First and foremost they were supposed to make it to the bunker under their house, turning off all of the lights and remaining silent until one of us told them otherwise. We were prepared and the lights surrounding us would keep the Vamps out. Those red eyes never left me, locked in and ravenous like we had a personal vendetta, and now, now we do. I might disagree with Linden on so
ALICE Marcy’s back was pressed to the Vamp’s chest where he was holding her tightly and Linden's rage was so uncontrollable that it radiated through our bond making my whole body feel like it was constricting in on itself. Her eyes were shut tightly as silent tears streamed from them, her face and chest were covered in blood, but her heart was still beating and that was the only thing rendering Linden motionless. That and the distance between them. If he moved, the Vamp would kill her for sure before he ever had a chance to save her. Everything seemed to happen at once. Linden’s call for Nixon, sent to every warrior, was only three words in and barely enough time to blink between the moment I laid eyes on her and the moment the Vamps teeth sunk into her. Her sof
ALICEOnyx laid me down beside Linden. His presence, something I couldn’t face when I knew what was coming.My bones were healing almost instantly - being an heir and having the Moon Goddess’s blood running through you came with benefits as much as it did curses.A loud crack radiated through me as Onyx reset my bones, the cracks that followed paled in comparison to the damage done to my heart, my lifeline, my existence. As I regained movement of my legs the disapproval on his face landed on where Lucius bit me.‘It’ll heal,’ I tried to reassure Onyx, hoping it was true because leaving Onyx alone wasn’t an option, but his scowl only deepened as he turned his attention from my leg to Linden. His eyes were staring at the
ALICE It was my turn to cry. The tears spilled over as I tried to recognize my insanity. Lub Dub. Amara was too weak to search for where it was coming from, whose heartbeat I was picking up on as I tried to cling to anything that would make this true. Lub dub. Lub dub. Lub- “Open your eyes volcano,” Nixon’s sweet demand had me wanting to give him what he needed. When I opened my eyes to find his, the lightness of them was almost blinding in comparison to Onyx’s. “Tell me I’m not crazy.” A look flashed between us and before we could blink we were both down on Linden’s chest. We laid on either side of him, our ear’s pressed tightly to his bare skin with our breath h
