Chapter 40
Queen Lakelyn sat back and smiled, “Dahlia wasn’t always evil. When we were growing up, she was actually very sweet in school. She was always helpful to everyone.” I asked, “You went to school with her?” Queen Lakelyn nodded, “I did. So did everyone at this table. Some of us were even friends with her after she went psycho… though not for long after. She turned very dangerous.” Queen Chumani nodded, “She was my best friend in high school. I was convinced that she was destined for great things. She ruined it all.” I sat back and asked, “What exactly was her home life like then?”
Queen Chumani smiled, “Her family was so much fun! Her dad was a loving man who treated all the area kids like his own. Her mom always had snacks at the ready for all of us. She had four brothers and two sisters, and they all had friends who liked to hang out at her house. It was always full of laughter and love.” Queen Lakelyn laughed, “It was almost sickeningly sweet. I’m sure they argued, but we ne

I added, “While she took me downstairs for that breakfast that was laced with a truth spell, she told me that I wouldn’t want kids after they had been used as a weapon against me.” Billy sighed, “I am so sorry you had to go through all that, Elisa.” I nodded to him, “It really kinda messed with my mind. She kept trying to tell me that Elliot would leave me, she told me that all mates do. I know better, but it felt like she was telling me the honest truth.” Billy looked me in the eyes, “She was telling you, her truth. That doesn’t mean it was yours.” I nodded, “I understand.” Taylor chimed in, “I’ve kinda been feeling the same way. What if I end up turning into a horrible mother? I can’t imagine abandoning a child in the middle of the forest, but that doesn’t mean I’m not capable of it.” Evan put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her to him, “You will never be like that, because you have a mate who will love you and cherish you forever. I could never imagine a single sc

I agreed, “It is cool that her convenience turned into not only her undoing, but also some pretty strong bonds. I hope these bonds keep getting stronger.” Then Billy spoke up, “I know Dahlia messed with all of your heads and it would worry me if it didn’t affect each of you in some way. I want you all to know that what she did is on her. Not any of you. I don’t think any of you has the capacity to be like her in any way. I see a lot of her, before her first mate in you, Elisa, and you, Taylor. That doesn’t mean you will turn out like her. Don’t forget that it took a black magic warlock and a fake mate spell to make her that way. The two of you have already found your mates and they are really good ones. You have nothing to worry about.” Queen Chumani smiled, “I understand why you would have doubts about your abilities as a mother, but you ladies are too sweet and caring to even think about being like that. Dahlia was a sweet woman. She was just a victim of black magic and th

I looked in the man’s eyes and saw nothing but happiness and is that love I see? Billy smiled, “Wade, I would like for you to meet your daughters, Elisabeth and Taylor. Ladies, this is your biological father, Wade Beard.” I smiled at him, “I am so happy to meet you, Wade.” Taylor smiled, “Same here. Elisa and I honestly thought our mother killed you.” Wade threw his head back and laughed a roaring laugh, that caused vibrations throughout our bodies and birds to take flight out of the trees. We could help laughing with him, even though we had no idea what we were laughing at. He reached out to us and Taylor and I ran to him. He wrapped his massive arms around both of us at the same time and gave us the most comfortable hug I think I have ever received. I never knew what a father’s hug felt like before, but this has to be it. It honestly made me start crying, which surprised even me. He must have sensed that I was crying and he asked, “Did I squeeze too tight?” I chuckled, “No

Wade visibly relaxed and took a deep, soothing breath as soon as we cuddled close to him, “I just can’t stand the thought of my girls going through all that. I must have been crazy to stay with her as long as I did.” Taylor put her hands on his cheeks and turned his head to face her, “If you hadn’t stayed with her as long as you did, we wouldn’t be here.” He sighed, “You are right. You two are such a blessing. I don’t know how she could’ve done what she did to you.” I smiled, “She never gave us a chance to show her this side of us.” He furrowed his brow, “What do you mean?” I giggled, “When you give hateful, you get hateful. Do you know what I mean?” Dad laughed again and I swear I felt the ground shake and I saw deer running away. He certainly has a powerful presence. That’s for sure. I asked, “What was she like with you?” He smiled, “We were real mates. She was sweet to me except there was always a part of her that didn’t trust me. Like she was always waiting for the other

Elliot POV Wow. Just. Wow. The last few days have been nuts. I damn near lost my shit when I found out that my mom allowed my mate to leave the castle unguarded. She had their driver, but that’s it. I know the threat of Dahlia is gone, but I can’t seem to shake the feeling that she still needs someone with her. When she got back, I tried to make my excitement about the dress, rather than my paranoia. I really hope I am just being paranoid. Then, over dinner, we start listening to stories of Dahlia and find out that Elisa’s and Taylor’s dad is still very much alive and well! Then we learn that Elisa is already a hybrid! I can’t help but wonder what this is going to do to her decision to have me change her. That would make for a ch

Elisa POV Oh. My. Goddess! My dad is moving to our guest house! Taylor and I were so excited we nearly knocked dad on his ass from jumping into his arms! He laughed, “Well, I’m glad that news was so well received.” I laughed, “We would love to have you as close as you can get to us.” Evan agreed, “This is the ideal place for you. That way, when Taylor and I are living on land, you will all be in one place.” Taylor chuckled, “I need to tell my adoptive parents about you, but I would also love for you to meet them.” Dad nodded, “I would love to meet the parents who raised such a kind and well-mannered daughter.” I asked, “So dad, can I teleport you to your place and we can teleport your stuff back?” He smiled, “You can do that?”

In the blink of an eye, we were in between the man and the girl. The girl was up against the tree, the entire front of her clothes shredded from the lashes of the whip. The entire front of her was bloody. She had two straps holding her to the tree: one around her legs and one just under her armpits. By now, she was unconscious. I just pray to the goddess she’s still alive. Before the man could lash her again, Taylor cast a protection spell on the girl and my dad charged the man with a loud, rumbling roar. Elliot took the whip away from him while Evan, Taylor and I took care of the girl. Dad had the man on the ground and was holding him by the throat, “What the fuck do you think you’re doing to this girl?” The man tried to talk, but dad chuckled, “Oops.” Dad moved his hand a little and chuckled, “Now, try again.” The first words out of the man’s mouth were, “Where did you come from?” Elliot growled, “That doesn’t matter. Who are you and why were you doing this to that poor gi

I hurried to her side and held her hand as she woke up. When her eyes opened, she looked around and sat straight up with a look of sheer terror on her face. I soothed her, “Hey, it’s okay. Alpha Xavier is locked up, pending council investigation and trial. You’re not even near that pack.” She sighed in relief and mouthed the words, “Thank you.” I smiled, “You’re welcome. We have been working on healing your vocal cords. Can you try to speak?” She opened her mouth and sound came out! She smiled and spoke, “Thank you so much.” I asked, “How are you feeling? Would you like to tell us your name and what happened?” She smiled, “My name is Hannah. I’m an Omega, so I’m already low in pack order. The pack didn’t like me at all. I was beaten daily. Kicked, punched, tripped, you name it. Anyway, I turned seventeen last week and found that the Alpha was my mate. He and the rest of the pack had been making me drink wolfsbane for about a month by that time.” I asked, “Why would they do t
