Michael POV

We reach the human city after about twenty minutes. I pray that we have no problems getting Troy and his family back to the pack. After Lincoln told me what was going on, there is no telling what that ba**ard Grant is willing to do to get what he wants. We arrive at the address that Lincoln gave me. I brought Micah and Mason along with two of the pack warriors. As we walk toward the door, Jaxon growls. “There are pack wolves nearby. I catch their scent on the wind.” I turn back to my sons. “We need to get them out of here right now.” I turn to the warriors. “Stay here and link me if you see any wolves.” I bang on the door and when it opens I usher the man inside before I even tell him why we’re here. I know it’s probably not the best idea as he isn’t a little man, but I can’t risk something happening to him.

“What the hell are you doing in my house” he growls and his eyes turn black. “Troy, we are no threat to you or your family. You are in danger. We are here to protect you and get you all out of here.” I look past him at a woman who has her arms wrapped around two identical pups. “They are in danger. I am here to get you all to safety.” He turns looking at the woman and pups. When he turns back, his eyes are back to their normal color. “How do I know that Grant didn’t send you here?” “I am the Beta of the Nightfire pack and my Alpha sent me to protect you and your family.” I hear voices outside. “We need to go now. Grant’s wolves are here.” “My family cannot fight wolves. I won’t take them out there to be killed.” “They won’t have to fight and I promise you we will keep them safe.” I turn to Micah and Mason, “take them to the pack and make sure you take them right to Lincoln.” They walk over and stick out their hands to the woman and pups.

“You need to go with them, Troy. We will handle the wolves outside.” “You’re not making any sense. If we go outside they will attack us.” “My sons are hybrids. They have powers and will take you to the Nightfire pack.” I hear voices getting louder and a growl comes from outside. “Troy, we don’t have time to talk this over. They are here to take you and make no mistake, they will follow the Alpha’s orders no matter who gets hurt.” He walks toward my sons and reaches out his hand. Seconds later, they are all gone. I walk toward the front door and once I’m outside, the men seem to quiet in my presence. I’m sure they sense that I am a Beta. There are five men and I’m not worried about defending ourselves against them. I’m worried about these a**holes exposing our kind to the humans that live in the surrounding houses.

“Do we have a problem gentlemen?” I say to the one who was doing all the talking. “We have no issue with you, Beta, but we have orders to follow.” “What exactly are your orders?” “I mean no disrespect but that is none of your concern.” I step forward and lower my voice. “We have orders too and I promise you that your Alpha isn’t the type of man you should be following. Now, we will be leaving and I suggest that you learn what kind of leader Grant Hoffner really is before you take any more orders.” They growl and start to walk toward us. That’s when I notice a woman and young girl walking out of their house across the street. I wave at the woman and little girl, hoping these a**holes will back off. They turn and look across the street. When they look back at us, they begin to back up. “This isn’t over” he says in a whisper. Once we are in the SUV, I make sure the men leave before I start back toward the pack.

Evelyn POV

I can’t help but stare at my pups. I notice that Eli is rubbing circles on the back of Clara’s hand. I’m so glad she found a mate that loves her. I look at Amelia, Lincoln, and Eli. “Do you think that I might be able to speak to Clara and Cayden alone for a moment?” They both smile but I notice that Eli squeezes her hand. I lay my hand on top of their joined hands. “I need to ask my pups questions about the past Eli and I don’t know how that will make Clara feel if you are here.” Clara smiles “Eli knows my past and I want him to stay while we talk.” I nod and Amelia leaves with Lincoln. “I don’t need the exact details

but I need to know what happened to the two of you after that ba**ard gave you to the rogue.” Clara looks at Cayden and then back at me. “We were used as slaves in the collective. Franklin made sure that we were kept weak so that we could not fight back.” The pain in my chest at the thought of my pups being abused every day is worse than the pain I felt the day Theo died. I didn’t think that was possible.

Clara takes my hand in hers. “Mom, that is the past. You had no idea we were even alive, let alone what was happening to us. We survived and we are here with you now. No matter what happens in the future, I am happy and loved right now. I found my mate” she says, smiling at Eli. “Cayden is safe and we have you. We need to focus on being happy now, because nothing else matters. We can’t change the past.” She stands and I wrap her in a hug. I hold my daughter like I never got to when she was a pup. “I love you, Clara. You’re right, we need to focus on now and not the past, but I promise you both that Grant will pay for what he has done.” She pulls back and I push her curly hair off her cheek. She has Theo’s nose and his hair. Cayden has Theo’s eyes and his hair color. I love that they each got something from him. After we talk for a while longer, Clara and Eli leave the office. I stand expecting Cayden to do the same. “Mom, can I talk to you before we find the others?”

Cayden POV

“Of course you can.” “Before I escaped the collective, dad came to me when I was unconscious.” She smiles “he has been watching over you and your sister” my mother says. “Yes, and he told me about you and where Clara was. I wish he would have lived to see us all together.” She takes my hand “I do too, Cayden. I can tell something is bothering you. You can tell me anything, Cayden.” “I’m not sure if I’m supposed to but I feel like I’m keeping things from Clara that I shouldn’t.” She looks at me confused. “When dad came to me I had an uneasy feeling when he was talking about Clara’s future. I felt like he was telling me something might happen to her. How can I not tell her and Eli that?” She places her hand on my face. “Cayden, your sister is right. Nothing is promised to us. We need to be present and happy at this moment. Did he tell you anything specific that we could stop from happening?” “No, it wasAll content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

all very cryptic but he did mention she would give us a gift. He never said exactly what would happen or when. I just don’t want to keep anything from her, especially if we can stop something from happening.”

“If you tell Clara and Eli that something might happen, they will live in fear until it does. If this was something that you could change, I don’t believe that your father would have been so vague. Knowing your father the way I did, he probably wasn’t even supposed to tell you anything about the goddess’s plan. Your sister and Eli deserve to be happy for however long the goddess sees fit. Despite all that’s happened Cayden, I still believe the goddess tries her best to give us our happiness. Evil people are the problem, not the goddess. If she has a plan for your sister, there is nothing we are going to do to stop it from happening. I want nothing more than to hold you both close and protect you from the world, but I can’t. All we can do is love each other and don’t waste the time we have together.” “Thank you” I say and wrap her in a hug. I never thought I would have this moment with her.

Clara POV

We leave the office and head back up to the room we now share. I can’t believe that Cayden and my mother are here. We are all together and safe. The door knob turning brings me out of my thoughts. Eli leads me inside and pulls me into his arms. “I’m so happy that Cayden is safe and that your mother is here with us. I promise you that we will deal with Franklin and Grant.” “I don’t want to think about them right now. Having them here is a miracle. The goddess is truly amazing.” “Do you want to shower, first love”, Eli asks, and I’m confused for a moment. “Eli, nothing has changed about what’s happening tonight.” He walks over and places his hand on my cheek. “Clara, I’m sure that you have a hundred thoughts going on in your mind. I want to make you mine with every fiber of my being, but that isn’t fair to ask of you right now.” “Eli, shut up and kiss me.” The look of shock fades to a smirk and he slams his mouth down on mine. We have kissed before but this time it’s different. He is deepening the kiss and I feel it in my core. He runs his hand down my back and I love the way his touch feels. I worried if I would stiffen or pull away after the past, but this is nothing like that and I want this man as much as he wants me right now.

He pulls back looking into my eyes. He must find what he is looking for because he reaches down, pulling my dress over my head. I’m left in a black bra and panties. He lifts me, laying me in the center of our bed. I watch as he peels his suit jacket off and his dress shirt. My goddess, the t-shirt is pulled taut over his muscular chest. Cora is growling low and I couldn’t agree more. Once his chest is bare, it is like torture that he hasn’t touched me yet. “Eli” I say in a breathy voice. He climbs up on the bed and kisses me much softer this time. He starts to kiss down my body and I realize he is kissing everyone of my scars. It doesn’t make me want to cover up. I never thought I would feel comfortable being naked in front of him but I am. He pulls the strap of my bra down on each side, exposing both of my breasts. When he bends taking my right n**ple in his mouth my whole body is on fire. The feeling of the kiss is nothing compared to him circling his tongue around my n**ple. He does the same to my left side and my panties are soaked. He unclips my bra and starts to work his way further down my body.

His face is right above my core when he breathes deep. His eyes flash black before they return to the beautiful blue color I have come to love. He kisses my mound on top of my panties before he pulls them down my legs. I’m fully exposed to him and I make no move to cover up. He bends and takes a long lick of my core. “Eli” I scream his name. I see him smile before he starts to circle his tongue around my cl*t.

Eli POV

I can feel she is getting close. I grab both of her hips and when I feel her hand in my hair I s**k her clit into my mouth, pushing her over the edge. She screams and my c**k could not get any harder. I stand pulling my pants and boxer briefs off as she comes down from her high. I climb back up her body until my mouth is hovering over hers. I kiss her, letting her taste her juices on my lips. I pull back looking into her eyes one more time. I see no doubt as I line my c**k up with her core. “I love you, Clara.” “I love you, Eli. Please make me yours.” I push forward until I’m completely seated. “I am yours forever and you are mine.” She nods and a single tear rushes down her cheek. At first I worry that this is all too much but when she smiles I realize the tear is from happiness, not pain. I wipe it away before I start to

move. I have never felt anything like this and I’m trying not to embarrass myself. I need to make her c*m again before I lose control.

“Mark her Eli” Silas growls. “I’m going to mark you, Clara.” She nods and I sink my canines into her marking spot. The feeling of our bond forming nearly makes me lose it. She screams out her orgasm as her core begins to milk my c**k. I pull back licking my mark. I feel the sear of pain as her canines pierce my skin before the orgasm rips through my body. The moment she pulls back and licks the mark she just made, I feel the bond is complete. I have never felt so good in all my life. I pull back and the smile that she has makes my heart clench in my chest. “Thank you for trusting me with your heart. I will protect it for the rest of our lives.” She lifts her head, pressing her lips to mine. She pulls back and smiles. “You are my heart and I am yours.” I roll off her and pull her back to my front. I kiss the back of her head. I hear her breathing even out and I know she is asleep. “Thank you, Eli” Silas says. “Thank you for being a better man.” “We will spend the rest of our lives making her happy Silas, I promise you that.” I fall into a peaceful sleep with my Luna in my arms.
