LOGINAdam’s POVCome on, come on… I willed the elevator to go faster and prayed that no one stopped us on any other flooring. I could vaguely hear the fighting from outside the building, the whirring of the machine drowned most of it out.“Why are they so Goddess damned set on getting to you and the stone?” I finally asked Lucy as I felt the tension in the air between us.I could see her hesitate with the answere for a bit, a war behind her eyes that made me wonder if she really trusted me or not.“Do.. Do you know what this stone supposedly is?” She finally asked.“The heart of Nix. The Crown jewel of our very race?” I asked as she nodded her head in agreement.“Both of those things, yes. But… it really is the heart of Nix. She ripped it out herself and gave it to my so many greats grandma. Not only that, but it allows us to communicate with her when.. certain.. conditions are met.”I nodded my head and listened. Letting the information settle in. “And have you talked with her?” I finally
Adam’s POV“I love her.” I finally got out after calming down, my words as strong as my feelings for her. “I’ve already decided to stop doing all of that and to be the support that Lucy needs and deserves.” I shrugged slightly. “Sure I like the rush of getting the biggest and the best of a score, the thrill of a hunt; but Lucy is the brightest treasure I ever beheld, the most thrilling creature I’ve ever been captivated by.”I took a breath and went on. “And after finding out who I really am; it frightens me to not have her there beside me as well. She’s like a breath of fresh air that’s been keeping me grounded in reality; a spark of light in a darkness I couldn’t comprehend. And if anyone dares to try to hurt her again I would travel to Hell itself to make sure their misery never ends at my hands.”Axellion smiled at me and nodded, but his body remained rigid. “Alright… but just as a warning; the moment you slip up is the moment I will end your life.” I nodded as I heard the truth t
Lucy’s POV“We’re here. Justin and Adam; take Lucy directly to the pack house and make sure she is with my sisters before you leave to get ready. I’m going to go and find dad and check every exit, nook, and cranny.” Jason held my gaze as he continued on. “Lucy; don’t go anywhere alone without any of us with you. If you don’t recognize the wolf; treat them like a threat.”“Understood.” I nodded to him as Adam got out of the vehicle first and then helped me out. Wolves were milling about in various stages of hurry; us having arrived at the back where vendors and staff were getting ready.“Come on; Ada says they’re on the top floor. She linked to just go in and follow the stairs. They’ll have the room they’re in open and waiting.” Justin lead the way as Adam stood behind me to keep guard. All of the wolves parted and averted their eyes from us sensing we were either in a hurry or even that Adam and Justin were giving them all death glares when they got too close.The house had four fligh
Felix’s POV“Hmmm…” the Alpha of Gratis pack, Quin, tried to clear his throat as Uncle Axel sat across from me in the pack office. “I-I’m gonna go and make sure they have everything underway.” It was a pitiful excuse to escape the suffocating room, but I couldn’t blame him, not since Uncle Axel was trying to kill me with looks alone.Please don’t leave… I begged with my eyes, but the Alpha shimmied out the door before. Could even blink. Another minute or two ticked by before my Uncle finally spoke.“When did you know.” He finally broke the tense silence.It wasn’t a question; he wasn’t asking me to tell him, he was demanding it. “Shortly after I got my wolf. One of them left their scrunchie in Lucy’s room and I just happened to have smelled it.” I could remember the finding of the innocent hair accessory and how it changed me from then on. “As soon as I knew it was at least one of them, I stopped. I know I was a douche-canoe when I was in junior high, but finding out that one of them
Addison’s POVI was applying the finishing touches on my makeup when the screen of my phone lit up on the vanity. “We are on our way to your wedding. Shepard’s have been tracking us non-stop and this is the only way we believe we can catch a break. We need a dress fitting for Lucy and three suits. One about dad’s size for Lucy’s mate, then for Jason and me.”“Oh, Goddess…” I stood up and turned around in the chair. The alpha’s daughter, Hope, who had been doing our hair, and my sisters all pausing.“Everything alright?” Grace asked casually as she finished applying her lipstick.“Lucy’s coming with her mate and our little brothers.” When I said that, everyone’s eyes went wide. I texted Justin back that I would handle it and to see if anyone else knew. When he replied he was already contacting dad, I knew our old man would get security locked down tighter than Fort Knox. “Do you have any dresses she could borrow?” I asked Hope.The female began to fan herself as she hyperventilated sli
Lucy’s POV “Fucking hell..” Jason mumbled under his breath as we sped out of the last gas station as soon as he paid. “How the fuck are they finding us?” We had driven through the night and had been taking turns driving. The chase on us was relentless and we couldn’t stay anywhere more than twenty minutes before trouble showed up. “Did they put a tracker on us somehow?” I asked. “No; I’ve checked this whole car thoroughly, we ditched our bags and clothes minus our ID’s, cards, and cash, we haven’t used the cards at all, and our cellphones haven’t had any unusual connections.” Jason sighed in exasperation, sipping on his lukewarm coffee with a wince. “Did they perhaps track you with a chip while they had you?” Adam posed the question. I tried to think back to my drug files haze and found it hard to recall anything like that. “All I can really say is that they’ve shot me twice in the neck with diluted wolfsbane; and I had no lingering aches and pains anywhere else after you re
Jason’s POV“Fuck, I need a vacation…” I mumbled as I pulled in front of the pack house, a group of omegas rushing out to greet me.“Excuse us, sir. But our Alpha and his mate are not here this evening. They went to the Samhain festival up in Michigan this weekend and today.” One of them spoke up,
Adam’s POV “Fuuuuuck….” I moaned, waking up in a cold sweat. “What was that about?” I had the most vivid and wet dream about a drop dead gorgeous babe with eyes like lazulite that captivated me. She had skin lethargic was the light pink hue of rose quarts, and hair as black as jet. She was like
Lucy’s POV*****“Hello, birthday girl.” The sexy man in front of me purred, his voice deep and resonating in my stomach. His timber sent butterflies dancing about, my legs squeezing together and my core pulsing. “Let me make this a birthday you’ll never forget.”The man had close shaved hair that
Adam’s POV“So what did you find out?” I wiggled my eyebrows at Dublin, his face stoic and somber.“You’re not gonna like this, but I think we shouldn’t do it.” He pulled out his computer, turning it to me so I could see it. “This guy is bad news, and so is the people he’s in with.” I looked at the
