LeviRather than returning home, we decided to stay and have lunch with Nigel and his daughters. Lily brought Nigel to join our group after getting Audra settled in the hospital. She let us know that the doctor looked Audra over and what she needs most is rest.For the first time in my life, I felt like an outsider. Amber and Nigel have the shared experience of having been in the laboratory, while Hope, her sisters, and their sisters were all products of the experiments that the scientists did on their parents and to them. Once they started talking, the group had a sense of camaraderie.I watch as my mate relaxes in a way that I’ve never seen before. She laughs easily, talking about babies and the difficulties of growing up as a hybrid in a pack. Here, she’s not an outsider. She’s with people who are like her and it’s making a difference. I saw it in her face when she raced into my arms earlier. For the first time in our lives, I saw acceptance rather than resistance.She’s always bee
HopeMom and I brought the boys and Bjorn’s mates back to Araphyra this morning. We’re all anxious to see our mates again.I’ve been pacing around the castle, unsuccessfully trying to wait patiently for their return, when Lily finally walks into the library where we’re sitting.“They’re here.”I jump up, ready to greet my mate.“Hope, wait. Give us LJ and Matthan,” Bjork says.“Are you sure? Your sisters will be here too,” I say.Mom, Lily, and I agreed not to tell them about their mother yet. We want it to be a surprise and on the off chance that she’s not their mother, we didn’t want to get their hopes up.“I doubt we’ll be running into their arms like you will be. I’m sure Levi missed you as much as you missed him,” Artis says, taking Matthan.“Thank you!” I say, then race out of the castle. The group is just rounding the bend as I reach the top of the stairs. I have a moment to realize that Bjorn is carrying someone on his back and that there is another wolf with three hybrids besi
LeviMother? Is that what Mel just said?“Easy girls,” Bjorn says, standing and slowly walking toward the woman. “Do you want my shirt, Little Miss?” he asks her.She looks at all of us before turning back to Bjorn. “You said they healed you.”“That’s right,” he says gently.“Here,” Nigel says, tossing her his shirt. She lets it drop to the ground and makes no move to pick it up.“You know those three are your kittens, right?” Bjorn asks.He has stopped walking, but I notice he’s subtly put himself between the woman and her daughters.“Yes, they are mine.”Mandy gasps, her hand going to her mouth.“Have you been watching over them all this time?” he asks her.“Not all of it. After leaving them at the fire station, I went to warn the Guardians that the hunters were coming. I would have been no good for them. By the time I went looking for them, he had found them and given them a home,” she says, nodding at Nigel.“They aren’t the only daughters you saved, are they?” he asks.She focuses
HopeWhen we get to the castle, Tanya is there waiting for us.“Hope! Amber!” she says, racing up to us. She’s careful not to hug too tightly since I have a baby strapped to my chest and she now has a baby bump.“Hey, Tanya!”I greet King Dominic, Queen Tialha, Taranath, Alpha Christopher, and Fanella, Christopher’s sprite mate.Tanya introduces mom to her mate, and I introduce her to Queen Tialha.“Welcome to WoodLily. Will you be staying overnight? We understand your mates are out looking for more hybrids,” Queen Tialha asks.“No. My father’s sprite mates are back at our castle. We promised to look after them, but they were very excited to start making a baby play area for my sons and some other surprise they have planned for my dad,” I tell them.“Ohh, I wonder what it could be,” Fanella says excitedly.“I don’t know, but they were very excited when they returned from the forest yesterday. They said it was rich with life. The whole forest is in bloom after they spent the afternoon i
HopeWatching Levi leave to go find Nigel and his daughters was harder this time than our separations have been in the past. Maybe it’s because he’s leaving me rather than me leaving him, I’m not sure. I just know I suddenly felt like crying and the world suddenly felt colder without him here with me.“It’s just a few days Hope and we’re going to be very busy during that time. I want to visit Tanya and meet her mate, and I also want to start making your castle look more like a home.”“We can help with that,” Rosemary says.Bjorn’s sprite mates decided to come with us. They were a little worried about the taboo nature of Eventide, but when we told them about the forest and how we’re planning to change the name, they were excited to see it. Maybe they’ll come up with a new name for our area.“I was hoping I could ask for something else while you’re here,” I say.“Anything!” Daisy says.“We’ll do anything that will help make our time away from our big, warm mate go by faster,” Hibiscus sa
LeviWe dress and begin making our way toward Nigel’s den.“Can you smell the three females?” I ask him.“Yes, a mix of lupine and feline, it’s a strange combination.”His nose continues to twitch as we walk. “There are other shifters living in this area as well.”“Wolves?” I ask, wondering if there is a pack nearby.“No. A female panther who has a den near Nigel’s and a couple of fox shifters who crossed this way recently.”He stops, lifting his nose in the air and sniffing more intently.“What is it?” I ask.He’s quiet, focusing on whatever his more sensitive nose is smelling that we can’t yet smell. I’d be more frustrated by it if I hadn’t grown up with Hope, whose nose is just as good as Bjorn’s.“I’m not sure yet,” he says, although something about the look in his eye makes me think he knows more than he’s telling us.Rather than dwell on it, I begin focusing on finding Nigel’s scent. We’re here for a reason.Bjorn stops a moment before I smell Nigel. At that same moment, his wolf
LeviBeing able to sleep in Hope’s apartment, being surrounded by her scent, helps me to sleep. But every other minute of my day is either work or frustration.Work is good, but it’s security. If nothing is happening, it’s beyond boring. The frustration comes from trying to locate Hope’s father. Onc
LeviI should have had Hope stay in my apartment last night. When I returned to my apartment after work, it doesn’t smell like her. When she comes home again, I’ll make sure her scent is in my apartment before she leaves again.It’s not like I haven’t been working for the last two years and spent lo
