Lola will end up getting her own book after Zion's. She's a strong and resilient character that has her own journey to travel through.
EMILIO My mind was a complete mess right now. I had a sleeping Princess cradled in my arms as I ran, searching for somewhere that was safe enough to rest. ‘It is your duty to keep her safe. Run and do not look back. There will come a day when she returns here to avenge us, but it will be when she is older. We have every faith in you when it comes to protecting one of the most important gifts that we have ever been given and will never be able to express just how much we appreciate it. We have always loved you like a son, so let me give you one last piece of advice. Do not harbor guilt for leaving instead of fighting alongside the coven because you are protecting the future of our kind. That is the most important mission that has ever existed.’ Those were his parting words. As much as he said not to harbor guilt… it was easier said than done. Instead of focusing on that, I focused on the fact that it was my duty as her personal bodyguard to always do what was necessary to protect her
SNEAK PEEK – “DESTINED ALPHA OF CHANGE” – KALEN Later on in life, I would look back and wonder how I survived what I was willingly threw myself into. Visions led me down this path. They were warnings of what was to come. A single person was going to be the spark that ignited the fire that would destroy everything that I held dear. It would lead to countless graves. The peace that our world experienced would be wiped away, leaving nothing but pain and chaos in its wake. The only way to prevent this was for me to identify the supernatural that was aiding him. My visions only showed me this one path to potential success. Yes, I said potential. If I succeeded, then it would save everyone and everything. However, it could very well be my demise. The plan unfolded where I would create my own trap to catch his attention. It worked like a charm, and that was how I ended up in this make-shift dungeon cell. He really spent too much time watching B-rated horror films. I lost track of how
To all of my amazing readers, I am happy to tell you that “Destined Alpha of Change” is now officially up on the app and ready to begin being read. Now, onto other important matters. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for how much support you have given me throughout these books. I love reading all of your comments, whether they were negative or positive, and use them to help shape the story as it evolves. Jackson and Imeela’s story was one story that I could not begin to write. I know that not everyone was thrilled during Theo’s story when Jackson took Brynn’s side after the rejection. However, it just showed the type of man that he was. The one who would help protect those who needed it, just like he did with Brynn. One thing that many of you had mentioned was that you enjoyed the species integration seen throughout this book and the Fated series. We will see the byproduct of that during the Legacies of Destiny series. Kalen’s story will be the first one, followed by
JACKSONI was ripped away from sleep when someone jumped on my bed, shaking it like crazy. Was it too much trouble for people to leave me to what little bit of sleep I could get? Like the fuck!“C’mon, Jacksy! It’s time to get up and pack a bag because we’re going on a quick road trip,” Brynn chirped.I loved my sister-in-law, I truly did, but part of me wanted to kill her right now. Perhaps, I could blame her death on the fact that I just got in from an unscheduled patrol shift a couple of hours ago. The warrior’s mate went into labor, so I took his spot instead of asking anyone else to come in on their time off.“Can’t we go another day? Where are we going anyways?” I asked, scrubbing the sleep from my eyes.All thoughts of killing her vanished when she handed me a cup of coffee. She knew that it was my love language after all. The only sibling that shared the love language was Theo. Everyone knew not to get in between him and coffee.I looked over at her and immediately noticed the
IMEELA I dove into the water and quickly moved underneath a rock outcropping. It was perfect to shield me from the bounty hunter that was on my trail. He would not be able to follow my scent because of my ability to mask it. Would it not be great if it could last all day and night? Sadly, that was not the case. It only worked for about twenty minutes at a time. Imagine that there was a meter showing how much ability was left. Once it reached empty, it had to be refueled. That took about two hours, so this was an ability that I tried to reserve for emergencies. Case in point, right now. He let out a frustrated growl when he was standing on the outcropping ledge. I pushed away my amusement of the fact that he apparently hated me for losing my trail. He was not the first vampire that I had evaded and would not be the last. “I’ll not be back tonight,” a deep voice said from above. “No, everything is not okay. I lost her trail, and you know what that means. I’m going to head back to tow
JACKSON Meeting Blaine was almost enough to dispel this heavy feeling that the secrecy surrounding this mission was causing. I was thankful that things had gone the way that they did thus far. He deserved to have a life that was filled with happiness and freedom. A life on the run did not provide that. Now, he would be able to live his life for himself. We were currently driving through the backwoods of Virginia. I had no idea where we were going, but I would find out soon enough. The further that we drove, the more an uneasiness spread throughout me. It made no sense to me though, so I just kept my focus on the blurring scenery. “Jacksy, I need you to listen to me carefully,” Brynn said, meeting my eyes through the rearview mirror. I nodded for her to continue. Perhaps now she would be kind enough to fill in some details. Anything at all would do. I was not even that picky. “In about twenty minutes, you’re going to find out why this trip was necessary and why we brought warriors
JACKSON The men’s heads snapped towards me, so she took that opportunity to slice the guy that was right next to her and move backwards further away from them all. Her eyes met mine and widened. Then they turned back to the three bastards around her, focusing on the immediate threat. We quickly slid down the slope. I shot forward the moment that my feet hit the ground. Adrenaline pumped through my veins, propelling me towards the bastard who dared to utter a single word to my mate. His attention was solely on me, which was good because I would make sure that he learned the painful consequences that anyone who tried to hurt her would learn. It did not matter that I did not even know her name. It did not matter that I had not even gotten a good look at her yet. The moment that I realized she was mine was the moment that I had vowed to protect her as such. He was faster than me because of his vampire abilities, but that did not mean he was superior. If Brynn had taught me anything th
IMEELA How in the world did I end up willingly walking through the woods with a group of strangers? Nobody since Emilio had ever helped me with the countless vampires who had come after me throughout the years. I lost track after a while, but I would venture to say upwards of a hundred. I had either been lucky enough to evade them or had to eliminate them. I used to feel a lot of guilt and shame over eliminating them, but Emilio taught me the hard truth: it was either them or me. Now, do not get me wrong. I was thankful for them coming, but I was at a complete loss of what to do. Four years had been spent completely on my own. Six years prior to that were spent with one other person. Now, a fated beloved swooped in and saved the day. Not to mention that we would be heading back to their pack. Staying in one place would be a foreign concept to me. Could I do it though? Honestly, the thought of remaining sedentary sent a thrill of excitement through me. It would be weird as hell, bu
