AlitaThe process of sending my blood off to Master Wraith is worth it. Eda is a phenomenal Luna and she, Peelle, and Osborn work well together.My mom has been planning for a one-year celebration for them for months now and we finally get to celebrate tonight. But it turns out, there’s a new thing to celebrate. Eda is pregnant… with twins!It takes a toll on her body, and I had to make new arrangements through Flicka. Eda has only been pregnant for a month, and she was so close to death by the time we got the new antidote.Now I have to send two vials of blood but it’s worth it for her and the babies to be safe. Eda is happy but I can hear her thoughts and I know that she’s worried about her mom. I don’t blame her. Even though Master Wraith agreed to this whole arrangement… I see the marks on Flicka’s body every time we meet. She is not being treated well.I’m about to turn 17 and that means I can keep doing this for at least one more year, but I’m worried that when I find my mate at

OsbornThe day after Alita was taken, we received another package with another antidote. Only this one had a note that said, “This one is permanent. Thanks for the girl.”I’ve never heard my mom cry as loud as she did that day. Her wails are something that will haunt me.I blame myself. I let my guard down. We never should’ve had that big of a party and now Alita’s disappearance is on my hands.We’ve done everything we can to find Alita.I contacted every single pack that I knew of for people to be on the lookout for her. My parents traveled to a lot of packs and looked off pack grounds searching for the rogues… hoping and praying they could find her. Mom even went out searching for other elves to see if anyone had anything they could do to help but had no luck.Peelle constantly went looking to find her. He thought their sibling bond would help guide him to her but… it didn’t work.We’re willing to pay a lot of money if it guarantees her safety and her life with us. But not even the

AuroraI wake up in an insane amount of pain. I try not to scream out because I don’t want to alarm Aamon, but I’ve never felt pain like this in my life.My body felt insanely hot, every inch of me was agonizingly painful, there’s no position I can get into to ease my discomfort.I couldn’t help the low guttural moan that come out of my lips. It causes Aamon to sit up and look at me and he says, “Aurora? Oh goddess, I think you’re shifting!”I grit my teeth, trying to get through the pain. He tells me, “I’m going to pick you up and bring you outside. Connecting with nature is one of the best ways to get through it. Okay?”When I don’t respond he picks up my body and moves me outside to do as he suggested. He sets me down in the sand since we live right on the beach. We’re near the water because the tide keeps washing over my body helping me cool down. I take a shuddery breath and I can feel Aamon as he runs his fingers through my hair trying to soothe me.I try to focus on him, I try

MateoMy mate, I never caught her name, pulls up to a beach side house that is freaking huge. It’s almost as big as the pack house in the Verona Pack.She gets out of her car and starts to grab groceries and a woman comes down the stairs and says, “Aurora, you know you should ask for help when you have bags.”She laughs and says, “I’m fine, truly, just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I can’t bring inside some groceries.”The woman tsks at her as she grabs the bags from her arms. She says, “You know that Aamon wouldn’t approve.”My mate, Aurora, rolls her eyes and says, “I’m not a piece of glass. I assure you that I’m okay. Also, I plan to cook tonight.”The woman freezes and asks hesitantly, “Are you sure that’s the best idea?”Aurora crosses her arms and bites her lower lip and asks, “Am I really that bad of a cook?”She could make the worst food on earth, she could feed me literal dirt and I would still eat it and thank her for it. She is a goddess, and it makes me angry to see ho

Aamon“Where the fuck is she?!” I scream at my maid that is supposed to keep an eye on Alita. She quivers before me and stutters, “I-I don’t know, sir. She went to her doctor’s appointment but has never returned.”My colleagues watch me with wide eyes as I turn around to face them and I say, “I want everyone searching for her! She just now got pregnant with the hybrid child we’ve all been waiting for! If we want unlimited access to elf blood, then we need that child and any other hybrid children we can knock her up with! We need our hybrid army!”They all call out, “Yes, Master Wraith!” and run out the building to go searching for Alita.I thought that I trained her well, I thought I could trust her. I thought her mind was wiped to where she really believed I was her mate and that she would be loyal to me. Obviously, I was wrong. Or… or she’s been taken.But... who would take her from me?The obvious answer is one of those mutts at the Scarlet Pack, but we’re literally in a different
