LUCYI was in and out of this weird dream. Astrid and I were little girls, not werewolves, just humans, two little girls utterly oblivious to the dangers lurking around every corner. We were playing on the swings. Skipping rocks on the pond near, I don't even remember a pond where we grew up. I felt hot and cold, and I kept seeing a baby being snatched from a screaming woman after labour. She looked familiar, but I didn't know her. I wanted to help the women. The dream faded in and out until I heard a voice bring me back to reality. "They are asking for Razor.""He is in IT right now running surveillance on mountain moon. What do they need?" "Apparently, Alpha Nash, Angel of death and the girl twin, are trapped in a room with barrier spells, and Amon doesn't want to portal in, not knowing what he is portalling to. The Beta from Death Moon wants in there. He is insistent." I snapped my eyes open. "I can get in that room." 

ELLENI called Mrs. Lawson, and she was excited to be offered the job. She was going to start tomorrow after her vetting by Victoria finished. Axel needed help, and Liza was getting worn out. Even after travelling, she came back more worn, tired and weaker. I thought having the break would give her more energy. She was in with Emily and the twins. Emily was pulling double duty. Cooking and managing all the packhouse omegas and now Nanny too! She was one of the few trusted on the upper levels. Axel escorted anyone on the upper levels. They always had eyes on them. Maddox was at Death moon this week running the pack while Killian was off wooing his mate. I was finally all snuggled into my bed with snacks and my show when Axel texted. Said to get ready, Mason was coming to escort me to the gate. Why moon goddess, why? I am so tired. I just want to be in bed. I begrudgingly tossed the covers back and put pants on. Maddox had sent some omegas to town to buy me materni

LUCYI woke up in a strange room. It was big and warm, the sunlight streaming through the open window. A sliding door was cracked open, letting in the fresh air. It had rained last night. You could smell the wet earth outside. I sat up and looked around. There was a love seat and two chairs in front of a large fireplace. I rubbed my eyes, and I could see a Sleeping Damon in one chair. A book in his lap and a glass of amber liquid beside him. He had probably been there all night. I didn't blame him for what happened, and honestly. The whipping and wolfsbane was nothing compared to whatever those Hunters gave me. That was a pain I would never forget. I slipped out of bed and ducked into the bathroom. Turning on the hot water, I put my hand in to feel the temperature. As soon as the water was hot enough to wash away any memories of yesterday, I climbed in, removing Damon's shirt before I did. I turned the water up as hot as my body could handle. It was glorious. My body still ac

AXEL I had been avoiding visiting Lanie in the hospital. She had repressed all her memories of being a werewolf. She didn't know the twins were supernatural, and I honestly didn't know what to say to her. She had been working with the therapist every day to help her deal with her trauma she was still in denial. I spent most of my day training and taking care of the twins. The new nanny was terrific. She was great with them. Asher was already teetering, trying to walk. Lucy was leaving tomorrow for her trip. We didn't tell her about Lanie waking up yet. We didn't want her cancelling her trip. She needed to get away. I was heading out to training when I ran into Oliver in the entryway."Oliver, hey! What are you doing here?" "I was hoping to talk to you about Lanie and Lucy?" "Ya for sure, man, is it an office chat, or can we go to the kitchen and drink coffee?" "Coffee for sure!" We walked into the kitchen, and I started the

LUCYI had finally finished packing, and I fell back on Damon's bed. I had overdone the shopping, that's for sure, but I had nothing here at Crescent moon pack. I left most of my things at Mountain Moon, and I was afraid to go back to Death Moon. Fearful of what I would feel being surrounded by all those memories. "You mean what you would feel for Killian because you still love him even though he isn't our mate, and he tricked us and lied to us." "Yep, that pretty much sums it up." "Just give Hunter and Damon a chance to love us. They were made for us for a reason.""I know that, Astrid. Just how do we know its real?" "Just try." I sighed, looking out the window. I grabbed my phone to text Axel and see how him and the twins were doing. Before I got a response, Damon came in. "Hey Angel," he walked over, kissing my head. "hey, I finally finished packing." "haha, I can see that. Do
