Well things are about to pick up as the first strike against Noya's Syndicate is coming up.
I was awake and had my fill of blood before it was time for us to leave. I heard all about Khalid’s sparring with Nigel and that he won. Here’s hoping these wolves will start giving him more credit. But soon enough, it was time to head out. I’m not sure how tonight will go, and I don’t just mean the retrieval of the girl. Byron will be there, and I hope he doesn’t try to make a scene. Twenty of us were divided into vehicles to be part of the infiltration. Of course, Khalid and I ended up in the car with his sister, her mate, and the Kinsley brothers. I’m not sure if that was for our benefit or theirs. Probably a mixture as they still want to keep an eye on us. In our vehicle, tensions were running high. For the Kinsley brothers, this was a chance to put down their treacherous Sub-Beta, and for Kurt and Isis, this was the first step to taking their pack. So I won’t fault Isis for visibly being worried. “It’s going to be fine. Just stick close to me. I don’t want you getting too far f
It didn’t take us long to find Byron and Collin. Just follow the sounds of a very pissed-off werewolf. We all knew coming here while Noya was in heat was a double edge sword. To get to the girl and maybe the scepter is offered us an opportunity as she and Wade would be distracted. The problem is that her being in heat makes Wade more volatile. As our group reached the fight, a crazed Wade had Byron backed into a corner in his wolf form. When I met him months ago, he wasn’t a bright wolf, and it doesn’t appear that much has changed. So I don’t like the idea of adding crazed, over-protective, mated male to the list of his problems. Any hunter worth their salt can tell when the human or wolf is in control. Wade wasn’t in control of his wolf, and his wolf wasn’t entirely in control either. They had gone feral at this point. We were dealing more with a rabid oversized wolf than a logical creature. This was the hazard of attacking while Noya was in heat. Glancing to the right, I could see
It seems a lot can happen while you sleep the day away. Noya attacked Talia through a bracelet, and a shit ton of Silverclaw wolves set up camp nearby. Then Khalid and his family set up an anti-witch barrier around Mount Adams and in the tunnels for good measure. So the work was all done by the time I woke up. “Ready to not be in close quarters with my Aunt and her mate?” Khalid asked, tossing me a blood bag as I packed our bags. “I’m sure we scared them more than they scared you.” I rolled my eyes. “Either way, it’s all temporary. We won’t be staying forever. We have asshole fathers to take care of after this.” I pointed out, picking up my suitcase. “Yes. I know, and I’ve made it clear to Isis that staying with them in Mount Adams is temporary. I just want to be sure that the threat of Noya is gone before we handle our business.” Khalid nodded. “I promised to kill Toño, and I don’t want to put that off for long.” “As long as we are on the same page.” I nodded, following him out. W
A scream caught both our attention. “This way!” Khalid shouted, leading the way to a she-wolf clutching a baby and a second older child to her chest as a group of Syndicate circled her snarling. Three were in wolf while one male sneered as he walked in human. “You fucking bitch. How dare you turn against Noya and the Syndicate. You will pay with your life and the life of that pup.” He threatened, shifting as he went to lunge at the child. Hurting children, especially babies, are a hard no in my books. I’ve watched one innocent life be taken. I will never allow another. I rushed forward, knocking him out of the way with a hiss. “TOUCH THEM AND DIE MUTT!” I promised. “You heard my mate.” Khalid agreed as he held his pistols up, taking the woman’s flank. We made sure to keep the she-wolf and her pups between us. Khalid used two guns, aiming for non-vital spots on the rogues. While I had enough of this shit, narrowing my eyes as I focused my mind on theirs. And smiled as they dropped to
This attack on Mount Adams may have resulted in a stalemate or maybe a win for us. Wade was taken down, but it came at a high cost. I won’t say I will mourn Nigel for days or even hours. We weren’t close. But he was a good man who took protecting my sister as seriously as I do. He gave his life to ensure she lived. I respect that, and his sacrifice has given us an opening. Wade is dead, and Noya is weak because of it. Tonight, we can put this to rest. We can put Noya six feet under and secure the safety of my sister and her pack. We had a plan, and tonight this was going to end. I was busy preparing canisters to secure the tunnels so everyone who won’t be taking part in the fight would be protected when Dani came up behind me. Against my better judgment, I let her help, being extra cautious when not letting her mix ingredients. While this was to keep a witch out, one wrong step could hurt Dani. I was not going to take that risk. We had just finished the last canister when Collin che
The aftermath of the fight was a blur. Two back-to-back conflicts were draining. I was half awake at best on the drive back to Mount Adams. The most I could muster when we arrived was a nod to Isis before heading to bed with Khalid. I looked forward to sleeping the day away. Even though we both stripped out of our blood-stained clothes to sleep naked, sleeping was all that happened. Or at least, for the most part, that’s all that happened in our bed. Somewhere around sunset, however, I woke to the intense feeling of desire paired with hot kisses on the inside of my thighs. “Someone woke… up horny….” My breath hitched as Khalid’s tongue dipped into my folds. I moaned, rolling my hips against Khalid’s face as he groaned against my skin. His hands gripped my thighs tighter, spreading them further to give him more access. Any residual haze from sleep was quickly gone as he added his fingers to work me into a dripping mess needing release. And the bastard knows what he’s doing, gets me s
While everyone has been busy planning the oath ceremony, Dani and I have gathered intel on Toño and my dad. We need to know their current patterns if we want to take them on. I don’t plan to kill my dad or anything. But I need to find the best way to approach him where it can be free of guild members. He needs to hear me out. He needs to understand the monster he was married to. I want to reason with him to ensure he lets me and Isis live our lives in peace. I hope he will listen to me and that it won’t come down to a fight. I didn’t want to kill my mother, and I certainly didn’t want to kill my father. It better not come to that. I don’t know if I can mentally handle being forced into killing another parent. Toño, on the other hand. That’s a different story. We are following his movements and studying every move his clan makes and even his human subordinates. We are taking no chances when it comes to him. Because he will die, he must die. If we strike and he doesn’t die, it is all f
My head felt fuzzy for a moment like a headache was forming, and then suddenly, it was gone as I heard a click. I heard the concerned thoughts of Isis, Kurt, and the others as they watched me. IT WORKED! ‘Well, look at who can communicate with you without saying a word.’ I chuckled, focusing on my sister. Now that I know it worked for me, I feel more comfortable letting Dani go next. I cut my hand and let my blood drip into the cup. Maybe my blood in the mix will make it taste better for her. I stepped back to let Dani take her turn. “I, Daniela Alicia Chávez, solemnly swear that I will faithfully serve the Silverclaw people as their Delta and support Alpha Kurt and Luna Isis. And will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Silverclaw Pack.” Dani bowed her head and drank the blood with a grimace. I held my breath, hoping that this ceremony would accept a vampire as it did a human. And then I felt it. I felt her added to the link I shared with the other ranked
