ELLE ‘The motherfucking calvary has arrived in time to beat a pack of bitches down,’ Faye sang out to me. Had I ever mentioned that I absolutely loved my wolfy? She was the best part of me and had been my strength all of these years. She was a sarcastic snark that was very wise but had an equally potent mischievous streak. We approached the front vehicle that had the Council in it. They knew that I was me, but we had to play everything by the book right now. “Explain yourself because you’re supposed to be in the custody of Luna Elle,” Thompson said. That was Ziyah’s cue to drop the glamour entirely. They played their parts perfectly. Their surprise was very believable. “He’s still in custody,” I said with a lazy smirk. I gave them a generic overview from the attack on. They were wearing wires to record everything, which was why it was imperative for it to be by the book. We did not want to give anyone room to worm their way out of this bullshit. Chloe tensed up and dropped her

DANTE What in the fuck was happening right now? We were all watching as markings, writing, appeared all over Imeela’s skin. Janina and Hesthes walked closer to her, examining what they saw. There seemed to be some recognition of whatever it was. “This is a very old dialect,” Hesthes said, tilting her head to get a better angel. “It’s a protective incantation from Hecate herself.” “It’s also a power amplification. ‘When my phoenix rises, its blue flames will vanquish’ is what this part says,” Janina added. My eyes tracked up to the mark that sat upon her neck. A blue phoenix. Holy fucking shit. This was the woman that Hecate had chosen as her warrior. There was absolutely no doubt that Imeela would be one hell of a warrior. She had to be after everything that she had already survived in life. Ten years on the run, four of them completely alone, and fighting for survival day in and fucking day out. My eyes looked over at Jackson, noticing the rose on his neck. Double holy fucking

ZIYAH I sensed it the moment that the doors opened. The scent hit me hard enough that I would have stumbled if I had not been sitting down. It was just like Dante’s but had a woodsy aspect added to it. My eyes met his, and I knew. I just knew… No. This could not be happening. I had two mates. I had my Dante and my Byron. They were the only ones that I would ever accept. The only ones that I would ever love. They were my everything, and I would never hurt them. The man’s eyes were glued to mine as he walked towards me. I did not care if there was a pull, a draw, or an initial attraction. How could this be happening? Why the fuck was this happening? He smiled brightly at me, but I felt like I was going to puke. I did not even know how to reject someone, but I needed to reject whoever he was. “No,” I whispered and put my hand up to stop him. The man’s smile fell, and I immediately felt a pang of guilt, but I could not be sucked into those emotions. “I’m sorry, but I have two amaz

ELLE “I promise that you’ll be safe here. Actually, all of our Blue Crest Omegas are either in this pack or my brother’s pack next to us. We have a lot to discuss, but first I want to get you taken care of. Will you let me take you back to our packhouse?” I asked her. Sasha sat up straighter and looked around. I had no idea what her life had been like, but it could not have been easy these past few years. There were new and old bruises along her face, neck, and arms. She definitely looked starved, and there was no telling what internal injuries she might have. “Don’t I have to speak to your Alpha first?” she asked nervously. “This is part of the discussion. The tall one back there.” I pointed out my sexy mate. “Is my mate, Alpha Kade. I know that he’ll agree with bringing you back and giving you sanctuary here. He’s actually the one who helped shut Blue Crest down, got the Council involved, and didn’t even hesitate to offer all of the Omegas to come here. Now, I’m going to need you

DANTE I woke up with an odd feeling running through me. It felt like something inside was being pulled. I looked over at the clock and it was just before six in the morning. ‘Relax,’ Byron said, but his voice sounded further away. ‘Go into the living room.’ It took some ninja skills to get out of the bed without waking Ziyah. My eyes landed on the calendar and realized what was happening. It was the full moon tonight. She had marked the calendar with excitement the day that we learned about the Fae gods’ gift to us. We had no idea how this would work except that Byron would feel a pull and had to embrace it. I employed some of my mate’s meditation techniques and relaxed. A comforting warmth spread throughout my entire body. A bright white light moved outwards from my body and turned into his outline before there was a flash of light. It was just as fucking surreal to see him like this as it was when we were in their realm. “This is so fucking strange,” I said with a chuckle. “Yo
