Final Destination Bloodlines Novels & Stories

Something in my chest that has been in one position for eleven days shifts. "Vienna reported in this morning." He crosses to my desk. Sets down a single printed page with the deliberate care of someone who has thought carefully about how to deliver something. "Prague went dark yesterday. Lisbon haven't responded to three separate messages." He pauses. His voice doesn't change — he's too good for that — but something behind his eyes does. "The degradation pattern is consistent across all five bloodlines. Starts eleven days ago. Simultaneously." Another pause. "To the hour."

“Now.” In the living room Damian had pulled out a whiteboard. Like this was some kind of war room. “Obasi wants the company,” Damian said. “He swapped babies twenty-eight years ago. Me and… someone else.” Marcus went completely still. “DNA test tomorrow,” Damian continued. “All of us. And the baby when it’s born.” Zara’s stomach flipped. “You think—” “I think Obasi wouldn’t be this desperate unless the bloodline was wrong,” Damian said.

She stopped herself. Not her what? She thought of Marcus. Of Elena. The form of Lydia's smile. She remembered the night when everything changed, the night nobody was to remember. “No, no, no,” said Ava, shaking her head. "That doesn't mean anything." However, it did not erase the words on the screen. “Bloodline,” she read again. “It is possible that strangers can match, but not very common. Rare.” Her hands began to shake. "If I matched..." she said and could not complete the sentence.

I could tell by the particular sharpness in her eyes that came from too much coffee and something she was not sure how to say. "Just tell me," I said. Yoana set the top page in front of me. "Her blood carries the Founding Line marker. The Ashveil bloodline, the original one, the one that established the regional pack governance system. She is a direct heir." She paused. "Lucas. A direct heir means territorial rights over every pack in this region. Not just Ashveil, but every pack." Adam went very inactive beside me. "If someone knew what she was," I said slowly.

Black ink circled the final names repeatedly like whoever wrote it considered them important. Blackridge. Another line sat beneath it. Final convergence expected. I stared at the words for a second too long because suddenly everything made horrible sense., The bloodlines weren’t reconnecting by accident. Raven and Dominic finding each other wasn’t random. Somebody had been pushing things toward this outcome for generations. Jax read the line over my shoulder quietly before exhaling hard. “Nope. I officially hate destiny.” “It’s not destiny if somebody planned it.” “That somehow makes it worse.” Yeah.

"The bloodline." "You smelled it the moment she crossed the line." "She's human." "She's *carrying* it." Elias turned. Same gray eyes. Same bone structure. Separated by thirty years and a devotion to purity Kael had never shared. "The Holt woman has the marker." "The same as 1893." "The same as your mother." --- Kael's hands found his pockets. The same habit as the library steps. Hiding the curl of his fingers. The need to hold something.

I ask, because even though I wouldn’t want that, she hasn’t even shifted, I don’t want to assume and offend my mate’s father. “I appreciate that offer, but no. She isn’t even a wolf yet. She won’t be able to take any title till she is 25 or meets her mate. I believe you will need to choose a Beta line if you choose to take over as Alpha, and you would need a Gamma as well considering his line died in the war.” “Alright, noted. Let’s get going.”

Mom asked. He took a few steps in and said, "ma'am, master Leonardo wishes to speak with you at his study room!! Please come fast". ( Anderson left after informing mom). She turns her eyes back and signed her way out to meet her new boss, leaving me behind in the room and thankfully she didn't say, I shouldn't explore the mansion, I've got to do some sightseeing. ( Smiles and leaves also). NEXT CHAPTER LOADING---------- ( BLOODLINE, stolen at birth)

Somehow, it was still a better option than ending up back with her father and brother. And why was Alpha Kai such a good friend to him? The Bridgewater pack was far from the Asran border, and there were very few trade routes into Venelia. It didn't seem likely that Evander had come to the southern Mating Ball to find a mate since, like her, he would be expecting his mate to be powerful and high ranking. Unless Alpha Kai had told Evander his suspicions about Sapphira's actual family and he had come especially. But why would the Alpha hand her over to Evander when the reward for returning her to her father would be higher? And there was no way he could have known that they were would-be mates.
