I stepped in line with him, but Lucifer shook his head. "I am actually going to need Loss, and Josie to go find the book. My brothers and I will be on the battlefield cleaning up this mess. You have to hurry though. Anymore of these strange signs existing, the closer she is to coming back on earth." Lucifer said, as he disappeared in a burst of flames.

Jax laughed it off like it never really mattered that his parents didn't like me. The party was fun. Jax and I were enveloped in each others worlds as he kissed my forehead and introduced me to alphas and lunas from other packs and other dignitaries or warriors in packs from the area. All that mattered was us. It was 11:30 and I could tell Jackson was getting ready for shifting. It was something that always happened outside, under the moon, and whoever he trusted to be around him.

His fingers traced the image of her face. "You," he mumbled, his voice breaking. "You should have been alive when the secret about you got exposed." He eventually closed the album and dropped it on the table beside his bed. The entire night passed without him getting a wink of sleep. As soon as it was early morning, he dressed up and went straight to Bella's room. After greeting her, he requested to spend some time with the children, and Bella agreed. A few minutes later, the six children walked into his room. The moment they surrounded him, he felt something strange—comfort, warmth.
