Hide and Seek Chapter 72 - Chris
I’ve been getting text after text from Jacob all day. He’s finally figured out that JoJo is with me—though he still doesn’t know where here is. It’s exhausting trying to get him to leave me the fuck alone while also trying to convince JoJo to at least say something to him. Even if it’s just to tell him she wants nothing to do with him.I still can’t believe Jacob did this. Not only did he and JoJo reject each other, but he tore apart their trio. For what? Because he was in love with someone else? He had to know that no relationship formed before the mating bond is ever worth it. Even chosen mates don’t have the same connection that fated ones do. That’s why most wolves will wait years—shit, even decades—to find their mate.But ever since the war, that’s changed. We’ve been a single pack, and every wolf aged 16 to 25 is required to attend the academy in Arcadia. It guarantees that fated mates meet fast. Plus, the supernatural council ensures we cross paths with all kinds of supernatural

The second that I linked Chris our ideas, she got so excited that she immediately linked in her dads, her fucking demi-god aunt and uncle, and a couple of other high ranked wolves. I nearly screamed in agony at what it did to me head. I just started mindlinking a few days ago and am still having issues with it. Making our two-way link suddenly filled with 10 wolves, two of them demi-gods and I instantly had the worst pain that I’ve ever felt in my life. I’ve never had a migraine before because I’m a wolf, but I’m wondering how humans function if this is what it feels like. The link immediately drops and I pass out. When I wake up, Kayla’s screaming my name, heedless of anyone hearing her. Nyx is leaning over me, afraid to touch me, but obviously very concerned that I just passed out. “I’m ok, Kayla,” I say a little groggily. I look up at Nyx and give her a half smile. “I’m ok. Chris got a little excited by our idea and linked in the entire world.” There’s pounding on the

It’s about three hours before the Riding Hoods are supposed to enter the fae realm. I made sure I was “chosen” for guard duty earlier today so I could get my warding materials out to the entry point and start the spell prep. I had to be careful not to do too much. The Red One would definitely notice if any part of the spell was activated or if the ingredients started to hold a charge. That’d be a problem.Then again, she’d be even more pissed if she realized how many of her witches liked to go into battle stoned out of their minds.We each had plots in the Ether where we cultivated whatever herbs and plants we needed for spells. I dedicated an entire acre to growing weed—mostly so I could use it to barter. These witches really believed it helped them tap into their power. What it actually did was dull their senses and kill their fear response. Sure, they were relaxed, but they were also slow and easy to ambush.Not my problem. I’m not going into battle with them. I want every one of th

“Is everything ready?” I ask Esteban. “Yeah, everyone’s ready for us to give them the signal. We’re just got to wait for Nyx to let us know that they’ve left and to finish up the ward,” he says. I’m full of nervous energy and having to pee every few minutes because of it. Esteban doesn’t seem to be doing any better than I am. Both of us seem to be nearly vibrating with anxiety to get out of here. Both of us want our mates and knowing that we will be with them in less than 24 hours makes the waiting even harder. I’m pacing back and forth in front of my cot when Nyx finally bursts into the room. “It’s done.” I see Esteban instantly link Chris to let her know. “But, we’ve got a problem,” Nyx says, looking out the cell door to make sure that no one is around. “What?” I ask, my voice coming out more shrilly than I had anticipated because of the anxiety and desire to get the fuck out of here. “The Red One hasn’t gone with the other witches. She took two of our top magic wielder

The second I hear her voice in my head, relief slams into me so hard I have to steady myself against the wall. My knees nearly give out.We’re standing on the plane, waiting to find out where to go. Everyone on board seems chill about the delay—except Kanati and Kamama. It’s obvious the god and his translator don’t do planes. Judging by their tense expressions, they aren’t convinced this metal bird is getting off the ground, let alone staying up there.Are you okay, Kayla? How are the pups? They didn’t hurt you, right? The questions pour out of me in a rush. I can’t stop them. I haven’t spoken to my mate in two weeks. My pregnant mate. My newly mated pregnant mate. I need to see her. I need to hear our pups’ heartbeats. I need her in front of me because my wolf hasn’t let me rest since she was taken.Brandon grips my arm, and I don’t know if it’s to steady me or because he’s the one struggling to stay upright. Probably both. Kayla’s voice is softer than usual, like she’s worn thin—and

I haven’t been able to eat, sit, stay still for the whole day. I’m so anxious since I know that Esteban and Kayla will be getting out today. He hasn’t mindlinked me since last night as we were falling asleep because he needs to keep his strength up for the escape. And it’s freaking the hell out of me. It’s gotten so bad that Uncle Dev has had to stay with me so that I won’t have a panic attack, his calming Goddess Gift giving me a steady stream of energy throughout the day. Just before 6:30 in the evening, as the sun is setting, I get a quick mindlink from Esteban. They’ve left, but Nyx is upset about something. I’m overjoyed to hear from my mate and I quickly tell Uncle Devin. “The witches are in the fae realm and the ward is up.” I don’t mention what’s going on with Nyx. I need to find out what’s going on first before I get anyone freaked out. Uncle Dev immediately starts mindlinking everyone and I turn my mind back to Esteban. What’s going on with Nyx. The Red One to

The second Kayla told us they were out, the pilot started takeoff procedures. We had just been told to sit and buckle up when Nyx shouted out where they were. One quick G****e search later and I had the directions to the Diana Pack. They’d get there before we did, but that was fine. As long as my mate—and my son-in-mating—were safe, I could breathe again.What do you guys think we should do about Nyx? Zak asks through the mindlink.Do we completely trust her?He’s got a point. She is the heir to the Red One. She’s stupid powerful and has every reason in the world to hate us.Charlie and Xander trust her, Arya says.So do Kayla and Esteban, I remind them.I get that. But no one can stop her until one of these two planes arrives. Zak’s voice is steady, but sharp. We’re the only ones with enough power to match her. It might be a good idea to put her in iron until we get there. Just in case. And we need to get that coin off her so she can’t communicate with the witches.Kayla or Esteban co
Huling Na-update : 2023-04-03Hide and Seek Chapter 79 - Nyx
The trip to the Diana packhouse is nerve racking. I expect for wolves to pop out of the woods at any point, attacking us. I know that what the coven taught about other species was wrong. Hecate, in her form as the Three-Faced Goddess, has told me that on many occasions. But it’s a knee-jerk reaction to expect them to betray me. Especially now that Esteban and Kayla can mindlink with ease.It’s not even that I truly believe that these two would betray me. But I know nothing about the other wolves in their pack. I have no personal relationship and they have no reason to trust me. Not with everything that they have had to deal with during my lifetime from my coven. Murder, genocide, maiming, kidnapping, and torture, just to name the biggies. But also turning their people against them, like Nissa and Celeste. Though, I was obviously too young to know either of them, they were crowed as our greatest achievements in the last war with the wolves. And as our biggest failures, sinc

Hide and Seek Chapter 100 - The Red One
I have no idea where we are or how long we’ve been here. Loviatar, the scary ass bitch, has us tucked away in between words. We can interact with objects in the real world, but are more wraiths than anything. It has the benefit of not being hungry, tired, or thirsty, but it’s a rather lonely existence. The only time since Loviatar has ‘saved’ us that we’ve had interaction from the outside world is when Nyx contacted me through the coin. Her words still haunt me. “I was the one that set up the ambush on the witches in the fae realm. I was the one that killed all the witches that you left behind.” “We’re coming for you.” “I’ll be the one that finally puts you down.”I have no idea where I went wrong with her. I treated her the exact way that my mother treated me and her mother treated her. It inspired unending devotion and a need to please in both me and my mother. I had no idea how much Nyx hated me. She always showed such deference. Like she revered me, as she should.
Hide and Seek Chapter 99 - Nyx
I’ve been hanging out with some of the acolytes from the Crone, Maiden, and Mother covens since we came Arcadia. It’s been great to be around all of these witches again. I’ve missed the sisterhood that comes with it. Many of the witches were weary about interacting with me. But after calls from Nora, Citra, and Bella, they relaxed. With their leaders believing me, they were willing to give me a chance. Though my powers are far and above the acolytes, they are the closest to my age and I’d rather find some friends than a magical peer. Not that’d I would have find one anyway. When I told Kayla that my powers are far above behind and beyond any other witch’s, I was telling the truth. The unfortunate part is that I don’t have a lot of the same experiences as they do. Being stuck in underground tunnels with old hags my whole life and very little interaction with the outside world, I don’t have a lot in common with them. My accent and the fact that I’m still seen as a Riding H
Hide and Seek Chapter 98 - Devin
“So, what are we thinking?” Roman asks the second his ass hits the chair.“About what, Roman? We’ve got a whole damn list of crises to choose from,” Zak replies, amused.“Geez, man. Can we at least all sit down first? I haven’t even had coffee yet,” Erick grumbles. He and Roman act like brothers, which means constant shit-talking. “No idea how Justine puts up with your impatience. I’d have you bound and gagged every morning until I finished my espresso.”Roman waggles his eyebrows. “Who says she doesn’t?”Justine strolls by and smacks him on the back of the head. “What did I say about sharing bedroom secrets, dumbass?”Erick groans. “TMI, man. So much TMI.”I laugh, despite myself. They remind me of how it used to be with Charlie, Zak, Brandon, and me. Zak, Brandon, and I still have it, but Charlie’s absence is always there. Even though I see her once a month, I still miss her every damn day.The room is slowly filling with alphas, lunas, lunes, and the Elite. We pushed the meeting to
Hide and Seek Chapter 97 - Chris
Alexander and Jared ask to speak with me in the Alpha suite after the ceremony. I wait until the party winds down and let Mémé Clara take Lily up to our rooms. Esteban and I ride the elevator to the fifth floor of the packhouse.“Why do you think they want to talk to you?” Esteban asks, though I know he already suspects the answer.“There’s only one reason they’d call me the night they discover they’re mates,” I reply, dry as dust.“The same reason Jacob didn’t take his role as lune tonight?” His face mirrors the anxiety I’ve been trying not to drown in. This conversation won’t be easy.I nod. “JoJo.”Jacob greets us at the door, already changed out of his formal wear. I hug him.“Hey, cuz. How’re you holding up?”He hugs me back, strong but sad. “Reaping the consequences of my rash decisions,” he says quietly.He hugs Esteban too.“Hey, Jacob. Congrats on finding your mate,” Esteban says, doing the classic male hug with a back pat.Jacob offers a weak smile before Alexander walks in f
Hide and Seek Chapter 96 - Rowen
I stand in front of a large group of wolves, fresh matemarks still stinging on my neck. It’s a stark contrast to my twin, who stands beside me with a bittersweet air—his excitement undercut by a sharp edge of sadness. I feel for Alexander and Jacob. They’re my brothers. I love them. And seeing them hurting like this? It guts me.But for now, I can’t fix it.For now, I have to stand here. I have to make it through this ceremony, and then through mating time. After that? I’ll help them. I’ll help them reach out to their mate. And if that doesn’t work, I’ll help them deal with the rejection—no matter how ugly it gets.“Brothers and sisters!” Declan’s voice booms across the room, pulling my attention back to the ceremony. “We are here today to welcome another alpha and beta into the Moon Goddess Pack!”The hall erupts—cheers, foot-stomping, wolf whistles, fists pounding tables.Declan lifts his hands, and the crowd falls quiet again. “When our Goddess created wolves in the image of her son
Hide and Seek Chapter 95 - Jared
All of us fall forward, bodies in tangles in the sheets. But the rest doesn’t last long. Because Rowen’s wolf is the one that is always closest to the surface, he tends to incite Summer and my wolves into even more of a frenzy, especially when we are in bed. And now? When we still have one more mate to mark? They are rubbing themselves around in our minds, urging us to complete the bond. They want their final mate marked and mated. And I, for one, am very happy to oblige. I manuver in the bed so that I’m behind Rowen. I pull on his hips until he’s on his knees. “Mmmm, what are you doing back there, Jare?” he asks, his voice full of desire. “Fucking my mate,” I growl out, slamming into his hole, bottoming out in one thrust. “Holy shit!” he nearly screams, pain and pleasure mixed. I know that his wolf loves the savageness with which I’m taking him. And I know that Rowen himself loves it when we dominate him. It doesn’t happen often, because he’s just so damn good at it.
Hide and Seek Chapter 94 - Summer
Rowen has to carry me to the bedroom. I’m not kidding you when I say that the orgasm I just had was the most intense in my entire life. It was like pleasure not only took over my pussy, but infused through every fiber, every neuron, every cell of my body. I’m pretty sure that I blacked out. My wolf was so satisfied, I think she actually purred like a goddess-damned cat! But the satisfaction didn’t last long. I have two mates to mark. Jared has a bottle of lube in his hand, crawling towards us on his knees across the bed. Rowen sets me down and I immediately start crawling over to Jared. “Lay down,” I tell both of them. They are both going to be getting fucked tonight. Might as well make sure they are both loosened, lubed, and ready. Because the way that my arousal is still flowing down my thighs, I’m not going to need it. When they are in position, I pour lube on both of their holes. “Closer together,” I tell them. “I want to suck on both of your cocks while I finger y
Hide and Seek Chapter 93 - Rowen
We stayed with Dad throughout the night, laughing about old times, talking about the responsibilities that will come with our new positions, and discussing the matebond. I can’t wait to get back and wake up to find my mates. The fact that I already know exactly who they are—that they’re the ones I’ve wanted my entire life—takes away all the anxiety I’d been carrying up to my birthday. Now, I’m just filled with excitement and impatience.“Am I allowed to tell Summer?” I ask Dad as we’re getting ready to leave.“Yes,” he replies, grinning wide. “You can even mark her if you want. She’ll feel the sparks.” His face suddenly shifts to a worried expression. “Selene was supposed to be here to tell you that. She swore me to secrecy a long time ago—hell, before Jared’s birthday. She said she arranged it this way because the three of you are Elite warriors and will be needed in the war to come. She wants you at your strongest. But she isn’t here, and we can’t find any sign of her or Hecate.”Tha
Hide and Seek Chapter 92 - Xander
I had a feeling I’d see my boys tonight—the night before they were born. Their 21st birthday. It’s wild to think that the babes I once held in my arms—the pups I watched grow both here and on Earth—are about to become fully fledged wolves.I’m so damn proud of the males they’ve become. Strong. Brave. Kind. Loving. And above all else—happy. I love them so deeply it sometimes feels like my chest could crack open just from the weight of it. I’m the proudest papa wolf in the damn universe.Right now, though? Alexander’s been dealt a shit hand. A really shit hand. And I feel awful for him. Jacob screwed the pooch hard on that one.I still don’t get it. I wanted my mates more than anything. The only reason I ever considered rejecting Arya was to save her pain, not mine. But I always wanted them.I know who all our pups are mated to—Rowen, Alexander, Jacob. And yeah, I know who Zak and Brandon’s pups are matched with, too (including Nyx). And tonight, I plan to ease at least one of my kids’ b
