“Thanks for keeping me updated, Janine. I’ll have someone at the airport waiting to pick them up. I hope this doesn’t turn into a PR problem for us. It’s the last thing we need and to be a pup of a close friend, too. How’s Eva handling this and Damon?” “I have Eva with the on call healer right now, making sure she doesn’t need to be sedated and Damon’s just beside himself. He’s running himself ragged. It’s been nearly twelve hours now and none of our trackers here have found any sign of her. We’re looking bad, Emily, and I just feel horrible for Damon and Eva. I just finished going through this with James, but he was a grown adult.” Janine sounded like it was getting to her as well. “Then I have the resort pulling my attention away just like pack business.” “Well, let me deal with pack business here this time. I have plenty of sitters for the pups here. So that’s not part of the problem. You can put a skeleton staff in place to run the day-to-day issues. Is Haden

Eva and Damon were so relieved that Penny was found confused, but healthy and whole. The staff were trying to identify the things found hidden within a sealed off mine shaft and the remains of two people. This wasn’t death by misadventure, that much was true. They found the adult corpse still wearing shackles and, by the feel of them, the person would have never left that place without help. With no light and the adult hobbled to the wall, the pup must have tried to escape to get help and failed. It was all a very sad thing. The pup died only twenty minutes from the exit. Many packs followed Thomas’ pack and inventoried their weapons stores. James planned to start after his surprise mating ceremony. Now they found that their work was far greater. “I don’t know about Emily or James, but Damon, this isn’t a normal stash of weapons. I think they may have been stolen and hidden here. The marking on the crates isn’t a pack symbol I recognize.” Eva lay in bed with Damon

Emily was enjoying her afternoon with Eva. It was better than the past. They were adults with their responsibilities lifted just for the day. Emily felt relaxed and pampered, which was a new sensation for her. Another great thing was when Eva told her flatly that she wouldn’t talk about the planning of Emily’s mating ceremony until tomorrow. They were going to let it go for now and not drag the day down with all that planning and decision making. No Beta or Luna talk either. It was just them and having a good time. Emily lost her suspicions about a plot against her as the hours went on. They got massages, ate lunch, and later got facials. Eating lunch was a little odd. Everything was her favourite, but then Janine knew her and ran the place for the pack. After lunch, it was on to manicures and pedicures, followed by hair and makeup. This was around the time Emily had a sneaky feeling someone was pulling the wool over her eyes. Everyone was up to something. She co

“Sir, I’m aware that this is an explosive situation with everything that’s happened this past year. I wouldn’t be making this report if I hadn’t known about that entire mess. These are clearly fae script, and they sealed these weapons up with people still inside the chamber. Whatever they sealed in there is still emanating some type of magic. No, sir, I haven’t identified it yet. Yes, I am keeping everything that is emanating from it down there. Everything else I’m letting others identify. I’m hoping the journal can give us an idea of what we hid there. How did this miss our oversight? I’m suggesting we bring in more people to protect this. The seal on the room is damaged. Any of the rogue fae hunts still at large could latch on and find it. Until I know the type of magic it is, I can’t say what would happen if they got their hands on it. But guessing I’d can be fairly certain that no one wants that. Yes, as soon as I have more information, I will report it directly to you. Tha

Ten Years Later – Glen is now in his late teens/Penny is in her mid-teens.A sudden shift in the bunk he lay on forced Glen from the dream realm. The little girl he’d spoken to, Penny. She was too cute for her own good. He was going to have a challenging time with her when they grew up. Glen knew that already. There was an ick factor to knowing the future and Glen knew exactly what Penny looked like, all grown up and naked.At least, the others thought he was weird, but when you knew who the love of your life was and looked like, it kind of ruined the fun of dating other women. He didn’t want to hold out, other women just didn’t interest him.For years now, his section of the family fought within itself for about whether they could return to the fold and make peace with most of the supernatural world.Glen watched his elders cling to the old ways and kill every supernatural creature they came across. It didn’t matter if they were mass murdering fiends or someone just trying to live qu
