Who do you want to hear from next? There's too much going on with everyone! Next update is Friday.
~Luc’s Point of View~After regaining order in the room, Godfrey decides we are not wasting time. We’re moving forward with the hearing of the case right now, and no one objects.“Part of the complaint by Mr. Evers is that Luc Payne is a vampire hybrid and that’s no longer a factual statement,” Ash says, as he flips through pages. I nod my agreement, delighted to be in a room with so many mixed creatures and not have a care in the world about it. Granted Dante can still sniff out a fairy within half a mile, but I don’t feel the desire to drain it dry and roll around in its blood. Though my brain recalls the high of it, I could never forget. However, now that I only have a wolf brain, the idea of biting anyone other than one of my mates is repulsive. It’s blessedly no longer necessary for survival.Both the lawyer and Randy turn to look at me, and I just smile. “I can personally vouch for the fact that we were able to have some witches kill the vampire portion of Luc’s body. But pleas
~Tate’s Point of View~“I’ve personally told her you’re coming and that she has real living family… but Tate… she’s had a crazy life. A rogue since who knows when. As it was told to me, she was found in the woods eating grass as a toddler. They call her the red wonder baby because no one knows how long she was out there or what she encountered. She had no diaper on, just buck naked with bug bites, all kinds of cuts and bruises on her. But it was like it didn’t phase her. She just kept going,” Ridge says, in awe. “Just like we had to do but in different circumstances,” Hudson says, pulling Harlow into his chest.“I should have-” Harlow starts to say, but closes her mouth.“Baby there’s nothing you could have done at the time. This is ALL on Otis and Caden,” I snap, and reach for her hand.*That’s right! Not our mate’s fault,* Colt says, wagging his tail.“She would be 11 in a couple months,” Hudson says, matter of fact. Harlow looks at him, impressed. “That’s great to know because we
~Rowan’s Point of View~“That was…” I whisper, as I scratch behind Dante’s ear. He purrs under my touch, sticking his butt up in the air to show off. I can’t fault him, he just had his dream come true: a night with his she-wolf. His true fated mate with no blood thirst to distract him or ruin it.Never would have thought watching three wolves fuck in the woods would be… would be…A cry breaks me out of my trance, it’s faint but it’s my Reha. I teleport to her, then scoop her up quickly. She quiets but only a bit as I rub her nose with mine. Laying her on the changing table, I quickly get to work. “Your mother and her wolf are such beautiful sweet girls,” I say, still practically unsure how I feel about what just happened. I’m not a shifter, and to see my mates intimate without me being able to join was frustrating. They had encouraged me to let out my devil, but it’s a draining process. When I do let him out, he expects to be fed and there would have been none of that tonight. No an
~Tate’s Point of View~“Goddess can we just have one normal day,” I sigh, and roll my head around my neck as Rowan brings us up to speed on his news. Luc starts to tell him ours and I half tune it out.There isn’t a chance in hell the council would take Reha from us and give her to some fucking rogues. Even if they want visitation it’ll be over my dead body.*And now we have to find Harlow’s parents, whatever it takes. She needs that,* Colt whines, cocking his head to the side. It’s a tall damn order, but I’ve been up against the odds before. This is huge though, too huge. My gut sinks as I think about asking my father for help. It’s the smart move, he has so many contacts. It’s for Harlow though,and I have to put my pride aside. I just hope the small army Rowan already has working on it gets lucky and finds her parents first. Mirren wrote down some key names, locations and dates he’s following up on. Without her having this knowledge, we’d have been cooked for sure. I have no doubt
~Luc’s Point of View~~The Next Night~*It’s a miracle, no more bloodlust,* Dante shouts, as he pounds the dirt, running in the dark of night. Tate’s wolf Colt is hot on our tail, chasing some small game.No more burn. No more frenzy. No more fangs. No more chance of killing Harlow when we make love.No more eternal life. Why does the prospect of aging excite me so damn much? It’s something I’ve thought about far too often, it’s the one thing I never imagined I’d have. Next to human mates…and pups.I could wake up with a full head of gray tomorrow, brittle bones and that’s… a sign of a full life lived.But I have to hope that I get a few decades before all that happens.I’m a father, that’s by far and away the biggest and greatest joy one could have. There’s nothing that could compare. I stayed up all night on baby duty, giddy at watching her every breath. As if Reha has flipped a switch inside of me, all I desperately want is more. Every smile, every coo, and watching her nurse… Mayb
~The Next Evening~~Harlow’s Point of View~“Give it to me or I’ll… I’ll… get someone to do something very bad to you,” I shout, my voice cracking. Threatening Angel is like an ant fighting a cougar. I know it's pointless, but I've never felt more pathetic, more desperate.“He was very clear in his instructions and it hasn’t even been that long-” Angel stops herself, and her gaze travels over to a lifeless Luke. Rowan is kneeled beside him, has been for hours and I don’t know how he can stand it. My legs would be screaming.“Whatever he’s left for me is MINE,” I shout, as Tate’s big hands come around me, and pull me against his chest.*But we’re not admitting he’s gone,* Hope sniffles, defeated. When the magic was going on last night I felt Luke’s pain, all his mates did. None of us slept, none of us ate. I feel hollow, sick and empty. And it isn’t from the hunger.Tate kisses the side of my head and it only makes it worse. What if Luke never holds me again? What if he never kisses me
