Malachi I felt bad telling Uncle Samuel I would be there in two days when it took me a week to make it there. I ran into some unforeseen complications while I was making my way to the pack. I had just arrived and was getting out of the car when I saw Uncle Samuel. Uncle Samuel was my father's brother. Tyrone and I were extremely close, so when he was killed, I was pissed. I knew his family had something to do with it, but I could never prove it. I promised Tyrone when I visited his and Cyreena’s grave that I would make damn sure that nothing ever happened to Emerald. Of course, that proved hard to do when she all of sudden disappeared. When Uncle Samuel called and explained a few things to me about what had been going on, I told him that I would be there, no questions asked. “It’s good to see you again Malachi.” Uncle Samuel says. “Likewise. So a wolf pack?’ I asked. He explains everything to me, and I get it. I remember Tyrone telling me about him and Cyreena being ve
Ryder I was shocked when Zavian told me that I had a second chance, mate. That thought never even crossed my mind after what I did to Kari. I regret rejecting my mate, but I still believe that she wouldn’t have made a good luna. I needed a strong luna, and she was not strong enough. I could tell she was weak when Vivian easily manipulated her. I am genuinely happy for Scott. I was surprised to see that his mate was a vampire, but she was a beautiful and strong woman. We finally got Paul to tell us why he was helping us, and I was shocked to hear that his father had taken away the alpha position from him just because he had rejected his mate. He said that the pain was terrible on his end but that she didn’t seem to hurt at all. “How old was she when this happened?” Zavian asked. “I think she was 16.” Paul answers. “There is your answer right there. She wasn’t of age yet to get her wolf so the bond never fully formed on her side. I am sure she felt something but not near a
Nate I heard the shower shut off, notifying me that Devon had finished with his shower. It had been a long day. Vaccaro had returned to his kingdom yesterday, and Emerald’s cousin Malachi had shown up earlier today. I was still mildly surprised she threw Raven out of our bedroom window, but I wasn’t too surprised either. I smile when she moves closer to me on our bed. I have myself propped up on my side as I watch her sleep. “Stop being so creepy, brother,” Devon says. “Shut up. I still can’t believe she is pregnant with our pups.” I retorted. “I know; I really didn’t think it would happen the first time we mated her,” Devon admits. That surprised both of us. We figured it would take longer, but Marel informed us that the fae is a very fertile species. I don’t think he was surprised in the least that Emerald was already pregnant. We both look down at her when she lets out a disgruntled sound. Devon sat down on the other side of her and leaned against the headboard
Nalena This was not the conversation I was expecting to have when Devon and Nate asked to talk to the three of us. As usual, Emerald was smack in the middle of her two walking greek gods. I have to admit these boys are smoking hot and fucking sexy as sin. Emerald is so fucking lucky that they are hers. I got pretty lucky myself. Draven is the same height as the twins, but it looks like someone dumped a bottle of black ink on his head because that is how black his hair is and those damn hazel eyes of his. Don’t get me started on his fucking eight-pack. “Stop eye-fucking your man.” Emerald snarks. “I was not and what right do you have. You eye fuck the twins all the time.” I point out. This earns both of us smacks to our thighs. I hear Jax snort at us, and I flip him off. I am still not sure that I trust these two fully, but they are trying, and I think Emerald feels the same. After their big reveal, I also informed everyone that they tried the same shit with me a year
Dax I pinch the bridge of my nose and close my eyes when Nalena tells us what she is doing and who she is talking to. Of course, Jax and I know Wasp. I have dealt with him in the past. So far, he has not done anything to make me not trust him. Everyone calls him Wasp because he is tall and thin, and his hair is long and blonde with black streaks in it. Although it doesn’t surprise me that he knows Zavian. Jax and I had heard the same rumours. No one knows if it is true or not. “From what I know and have heard he is from Europe,” Jax says. “Well, that would explain why no one here can figure out where he came from,” Nalena says. It is just the three of us in mine and Jax’s cottage. Jax and I thought it would be best if the two of us had our own place since Emerald was terrified of us when we first showed up. We talked to Alpha Jason, Devon, and Nate, and they agreed. I knew they felt bad having us not stay in the packhouse since we were guests and all, but they understo
Emerald I am pretty sure that everyone around here has lost their minds. I am not stupid or oblivious to anything that is going on. I know exactly what Nalena, Jax, and Dax are up to and who they are talking to. I know of Reginald but I have never met the guy. From what I know he is a self-absorbed drama queen. I knew Nalena went to talk to Wasp. Again I knew of him but I have never met the guy. I have seen him and I am not impressed. Then again I guess when you have mates that look like mine it would be hard to impress me. “Do they even know that we know each other?” Zavian asked. “No, because no one has asked me who I know in the magic world,” I replied. Of course, I know Zavian, only that is not his real name. His real name is Zain Vinilion. He is a werewolf/warlock hybrid that I met years ago while I was traveling. Somehow he took after his father and got none of his mother's magical ability. I didn’t understand that at all. He found me and at first I was afraid
Rich I know Emerald is up to something, but I can’t figure out what it is. When I saw Devon and Nate earlier today, and they said that she had gone for a walk, I was suspicious. I knew Helm was too. I have no idea how she convinced those two that she was really going for a walk. I couldn’t sense anything wrong when she came back, and she seemed to be in a good mood at dinner that night. I gave her a look and got a sweet smile in return. I don’t buy that sweet smile for a minute. That sweet innocent smile might fool the others but not me. “What do you think she is up to?” Helm asked. “I don’t know but she is definitely up to something,” I answer. Helm, Malachi, and I are sitting out back, relaxing by the pool. We are watching the women lounge around. I am kind of bummed because Sam had to go back to Alpha Jackson's territory for a few days to deal with some shit. Well, those few days have turned into a week, and I miss him. I feel someone hug me from behind, and I look
Zavian I was there a couple of months before Emerald's grandfather passed away. He was the main person keeping the rest of the family at bay. They had already started planning how to get rid of Emerald, but he had found out. He was pissed. He confronted his wife and the rest of the family that was out to get rid of Cyreena and Emerald. Yes, they wanted to get rid of Cyreena as well. He had even brought in a secret weapon; Emerald's father was also there that night. Her grandfather had told him what the rest of the family had been planning. __FLASHBACK START__ “How dare you fucking plot against my wife and daughter,” Tyrone growled. “Son please, she is not good enough for you and that child is worthless. That child will cause all sorts of destruction. They are tearing this family apart.” His mother states. “The only ones tearing this family apart are you and your followers. If you go through with this then I will break all ties with this family and you will never see m
