Brayden It has been a week since my angel officially became the Luna of the Midnight Forest pack. The whole pack ran as one that night. Everyone has been more than welcoming. There were a few of the women that still glare at Aliya but she just ignores them. Everything has been quiet on all sides. We have a few guys keeping an eye on Morrison and Andrew but so far they are staying put. The weather has been shitty so I think has also kept them from trying anything. I hear a giggle as I walk into the kitchen. Tallyn is sitting on the counter as Kendrick feeds her strawberries. It took them a few days but they eventually talked through their issues. The issues were more with her and everything she had heard about how wolves and vampires don’t get along. While most of it is true, I like to think our pack is different. “Be careful he loves to shove food into your face when you least expect it.” I remark. “Fuck you. You shoved my face into that pie asshole.” Kendrick snarks.
Aliya I walk down to the bakery where Tia works. I have no idea where anyone else is and I am sure that Brayden is going to lose his shit when he finds out that I went somewhere by myself. It’s not my fault that I couldn’t find or link any of my guards. Hell, no one answered my link. The bakery is literally a ten-minute walk from the packhouse so I am not worried. It is fucking cold out and there are snow flurries today. I threw my hair in a messy bun and pulled on one of my beanies. I am sure I look ridiculous in Brayden’s hoodie but I don’t care. It is warm and smells like him. I smile when the little bell on the door rings as I open it. “Hello, Luna.” Mrs Paula says. “Hi, Mrs Paula is Tia here today?” I ask. “Sorry but today is her day off. She is probably at her cottage.” She tells me. I leave after purchasing a couple of white/dark chocolate cupcakes and coffee. They make the best espresso drinks. I follow the instructions that Mrs Paula gave me and walk towar
Brayden I leant against the door frame as I watch my angel fluttering around our room to get ready. Alpha’s Gideon, Zane, and Weston arrived earlier today. We have spent most of it in my office discussing the alliance and what each pack will get out of it. By lunchtime, we had the fine details worked out and we will be signing it tomorrow after it has been through its final rewrite. I just shake my head when my angel almost falls over after she has slipped on the heels she is wearing for tonight's dinner. She looks stunning as always in a floor-length iridescent dark purple gown that she topped off with silver heels. “Oh god this is too much isn’t it?” She whines. I catch her arm as she walks back towards the closet. I press my lips to hers and I can feel her calm down. “Angel this dress is perfect,” I say. I feel her let out a sigh and she smiles at me. I slip my hand into hers and lead her out of our bedroom. I want nothing more than to slip that dress off of her a
Aliya I was watching Xander as we all sat around and talked. When Gideon and Zane first came into the room and saw her with Xander in her lap I knew they were both confused and hurt. Once Brayden explained that he was her younger brother you could see them visibly relax. I sat by Tia because I could tell she was nervous around them. I am pretty sure she was afraid that they would reject her once they found out about her. I was surprised when Alpha Phillip explained everything that had happened to her. All three of the visiting alphas were visibly pissed that a father would sell his own daughter to save his ass. I smile when they each sit down beside her. I see a faint blush spread across her cheeks. “I actually went there to see if there were any survivors. Unfortunely there was not or they had been taken by the rogues.” Alpha Weston states. “Many of the members of the pack were so corrupt that they probably went with the rogues willingly. It wouldn’t surprise me if someo
Brayden “She is going to be ok. Doctor Branson said that her wounds are healing and that the only reason he is keeping her overnight is to flush the sedatives out of her system.” Myles says. “I know, but I am still worried.” I admit. Two hours ago we were alerted to a group of rogues that had managed to sneak onto our land. We easily cornered them when I realized that they were decoys. Another group was heading for the packhouse. As they were heading in that direction they came across dad, Xalen, and Kendricks's dad, who had Kendricks's younger sister Lillith with them. They were coming back from town when they were attacked. Of course, as expected the men closed ranks around Lillith who just turned 8 years old a couple of months ago. They were outnumbered but at some point, during the fight, my angel showed up. I have no idea how she knew what was happening. By the time we got there most of the rogues had been killed. “From what Xalen told me, Aliya never shifted and
Aliya I start to move and fuck it hurts. I can’t figure out why my whole body is revolting against me. Then everything that happened starts to slowly come back. The feeling of dread spread through my body when I heard about the rogues attacking. Then I felt the fear from Lillith. I knew I had probably freaked out Blake and Harrison when I vanished but I knew that I needed to get to Lillith. When I got to her and saw what was happening I was pissed. I immediately jumped in and started fighting the rogues. I felt my powers building and decided that it was time I started using what I was given instead of hiding them. I have no idea what happened after that as my world started to spin and get blurry then there was just blackness. My eyes fly open when I remember Alpha Phillip, Henry, Xalen, and little Lillith. I try to jump out of the bed I am in but something wraps around me. “Hey it’s ok angel no need to fight me. Everything is fine.” A voice says. I must still be groggy
Brayden “What the fuck is that?” I asked. “This is called a dragon. More specifically a chameleon dragon.” Thalex answered. “Why is it here in my pack?” I asked. “We brought it for Aliya. We thought that it would be a good pet for her to have. Plus it can blend in and become invisible. We use them to watch over others we need to keep an eye on.” Ramulus answered. “You mean people you need to spy on others,” Kendrick stated. I watch as the dragon curls up in Aliya’s lap and start to make a sound. It sounds like it is purring. I raise an eyebrow at her but she is petting the little thing. Zharten explains that they raise these particular dragons as both spies and guards. He says that they are fiercely protective of whoever their masters are and will protect that person with their lives. I look at the little dragon again. Thalex says that the dragon will not get any bigger than the size it is now. It is the size of a large house cat. I guess my pack just gained a pet d
Luke I had lots of time on my hands with the current storm raging outside. It had started early this morning and gotten worse as the day went on. It was just after lunch and was looking at some old photos that Alpha Phillip had brought back from the pack when he had gone there right after the attack. Something about this whole kidnapped twin sister thing with Carter’s mom wasn’t sitting well with me. Then there was Andrew and his twin. That one I did actually believe. I had called our great uncle and talked with him about it after Aliya and the other women had dug through all those boxes and organized the pictures. I had found a few pictures of Carter’s mom when she was younger and compared them to Harlow. Yes, they looked alike but there was something that was bugging me about them. I had found an old hairbrush that belonged to who we thought was Carter’s mom and had taken it to a cousin of mine who was a doctor. He had met me in town a few days ago so I could give him the
