***โIโm getting Halloween vibes right now, Midge. Whatโs with the orange and black smoke?โ*** Lil asks. ***โAt this point I am going to trust the magic thatโs helping us out and I will sit down and have it explain all the nuances to us later. I think I remember from the color clearing though that
NO! I donโt even know what happened to me. Itโs like my body and mind separated. The absolute feeling of despair, hopelessness, hatred, anger, defeat all licked up my insides like a white hot flame. While we were here distracted, someone or something else attacked our home. All the people waiti
โSierra!โ I shout before she can shift and run away. โItโs time.โ She looks like she wants to kill me, but I wonโt risk her or her pup and she knows it. โTime for what?โ Cam asks, but the grip on my stomach tells me he knows exactly โwhat.โ She growls and says nothing. I open my mouth, we donโt

โNo offense to either of you, but Iโm f*cking over magic.โ Sam mumbles from the crook of Sierraโs neck. Elena side-eyes him. โWell, itโs here to stay pup, and you have a direct line to it. I would apologize before your magic decides it is over your wet dog smell and stops working.โ โYou all may w
***โCareful, heโs worse.โ*** I call back to her as we charge him. I can get more leverage in my wolf form. I donโt think there is any way we would survive in human form, but it would be nice to just punch him in the throat, just once. We are fully engaged now, biting and clawing at anything avail
โNOOOOOOOO! Motherf*cker! You are done taking from us!โ Jena comes out of nowhere, claws extended from her hands, slicing at his neck. Again and again and again. She is rabid in her efforts, but he hasnโt released me yet. I still canโt breathe, but I am so proud of her. She is closing this chapt
โItโs about time that you started serving your purpose.โ This soft ethereal voice wraps around us. โI am done waiting for mindless, lazy wolves to complete tasks.โ Several rogue wolves drop just outside the bubble. My mates move in closer to me, everyone of them has contact. The air gets warmer and

Epilogue 7โYou couldnโt just ask one of our warriors for a meeting? You had to interrupt our family dat and demand we see you here.โ Oliver comes up next to me.โSeriously? Thereโs no way any of you would have seen me, and you never would have let her talk to me. If she was my mate, I wouldnโt l
Epilogue 6I was kept in the hospital for a full week after I woke up. Sierraโs parents took all kinds of samples for testing and actually packed a bunch up from me and the girls to take back to their lab to see if they can find a pattern or a way to help our family in the future. Elena and Gentry
Epilogue 5โYep. On it.โ Dakota blurts, momentarily disturbing the tiny girl in his arms. He recovers quickly whispering to her, holding her close to his face and smiling like an idiot, but she loves it smiling at the sound of his voice, or maybe his familiar scent. I'm not sure what they can sens

Epilogue 4โNo! Stop that thought right there. Once we start that, I get nothing done the rest of the day.โ I put my finger up in his face then move past him to wash my hands, which is another amazing feat since I have to stand sideways. He just laughs behind me. They used to try to hide when th
