Nightshade Keri Lake Novels & Stories

Lydia deflated, her shoulders dropping in defeat. "Let us move, then," Derek said with a reassuring smile, his chest heaving under his tunic. "Where to?" Lydia asked, her scent turning confused. Derek hopped into the front seat of a rugged pack transport vehicle and explained, "Back to the original harvesting farm. This valley is located in the most remote countryside of the Shadow Creek Packlands, and if we want to find where the rogues are hiding seven massive loads of herbs, the local omega residents who roam these woods know the terrain best."

Mhir muttered and looked at Kulv who was just silent. “Kulv?” Laggas called as he walked towards Kulv. “What the hell is going on with you?” he asked with a frown on his face. “’Dream Lake’?” Skye muttered after he heard what Hierro whispered to him. “’Dream Lake’? What is that?” Mahi asked. “It is a lake underneath the Mirror Lake.” Loheiruchel spoke. “There is another lake beneath this one?” Laggas was surprised as he looked at the Mirror Lake.

Leah's POV Out loud I get everyone in gear “Listen up everyone, we have some suspicious activity going on over in the Black Lake territory, we have been tracking other activities surrounding the Concordat for the last few months. It appears that a rogue group is organizing and trying to surround us. It appears Blue Moon, Blazing River and Black Lake territories are their target points. Blazing River shouldn’t be a problem to have them begin discreetly moving their young, old and pregnant to the Bunkers, I've been in contact with Luna Ries, she is just waiting for the signal.” I look at the Blazing River Omega giving her a little nod.

“Keep this between us until she is mine. I can’t let anyone know until she is under my protection.” “Yes Alpha.” Ethan said as he left to go to the cabin. About twenty minutes later Shawn rushed into my office, “They are closing in on her scent.” “Where are they at now?” I ask as I stood up to follow him. “She’s on the outskirts of pack land near Bridge Road.” Shawn told me and my wolf started to growl and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to hold him back much longer. Kera was going after our mate once again and I didn’t stop her from leaving. If anything happens to her it’s blood on my hands for not protecting her.

I watched Rhyker standing behind the counter and flipped the scrambled eggs with his pan, he was shirtless and wore a white apron with black joggers. He had one particular tattoo on the back of his neck, it's a drawing of a crown, the crown of Rosla. He whistled while making scrambled eggs. "Are you awake Hemilia? I'm sorry I wasn't in our bed, I wanted to make breakfast for you." He said not looking at me, I gawked at his strong and broad back that is able to give comforting hugs from him. "What's the special occasion?" I chuckled and walked toward him, he turned around and smiled.

“I have seen jealousy in her eyes. I mean… she … you need to get out of here as soon as possible.” When I kept looking at her with a confused state of mind she chuckled and sat on the edge of the bed, “Nadia saw her bringing Nightshade herb from someone when she thought no one was watching.” “What? Nightshade? A deadly flower for Lycans.” My friend nodded her head, “You are right. You and that Greek God might be in danger. It’s better if you convince him to move out of here.” I wasn’t worried for myself. I was concerned about his safety.

“The lake.” Kai glanced over his shoulder. “What about it?” Kieran shrugged one shoulder. “She asked where to go. Peace of mind. The lake’s quiet.” I raised a brow, sitting up slightly. “A lake?” He nodded. “Private. Still. Tied to siren energy. Might help you connect without all the static.” Kylan rolled his eyes from across the room. “Close to water. Really? That’s the solution? Should we just toss her into the ocean and hope she comes back with answers?”

But his Charger was his baby, just like my Harley was mine. I took the lead and River rode beside me, while Cruz followed us. So far, I didn't see any members of Nightshade or anything suspicious, but that wasn't to say that the threat wasn't there. But it was late, and Nightshade had probably finished patrolling for the night. One could only hope. But I refused to live my life in fear. We made a left turn, and the night was gorgeous. Hot already, even though it was nice. But wolf-shifters didn't feel the heat or the cold like humans. The stars were out, but the moon wouldn't be out again until the Summer Solstice in June.

was a personality. I refused the cot they set up in the corner. I refused the mug of broth Banks pushed into my hand. I refused the shower I needed and the sleep I couldn’t afford. I sat. I counted breaths. I could smell the change I’d started in her—the cedar bite of my blood braided into her own iron—and every time it gusted I wanted to go to my knees. “Alpha.” Kerri’s voice, low. She is the elder healer, a woman with hands like soft bark and a scar across her lip from a winter none of us liked to tell new wolves about. “You have to close your eyes sometime.”

Celeste… Goddess, I miss her- “Yes Beta?” “Our team of thirteen spotted a herd out east, but there's a problem.” Knowing damn well I didn’t want to wait, Laker pulled out our specialized opt camera. He pulled up a few pictures and before he handed it to me, he sighed. “I’ve already got people working on it but I wasn’t sure how you’d want to go about it-” Taking the camera, I looked towards the pictures and froze. “Holy fucking shit.” *
