Chapter 62
62 ns to Be Had
Damien POV
Desiree is a mediocre witch at best, but she is a witch just the same. She has been in love with me
forever and, despite me using her, she still follows me around like she has a chance of being more than
a ything. She was once a part of a coven but she was a low-ranking member. She hated her ce in
the coven and when we met I made her feel like she was important. Making her feel that way allowed
me to use her powers. She has been an asset in helping me keep the collective safe from other
supernatural, but if I have hybrids, I won’t need her anymore.
The first time I introduced her to Richard, he tried to hide what he was, but she was still able to tell
despite his efforts. I still can’t believe that little brat is part Fae. I didn’t even think they still existed.
That’s one thing Desiree was useful for, detecting other supernaturals. It’s one of her strongest powers.
I knew that I needed to get rid of him the day she told me what he was. I wanted Maureen from the
beginning, but finding out her brat of a daughter was special just made her all the more appealing. He
was so stupid to think I just let them join the collective. The n to lead him into the woods to show he
was willing to contribute to the collective was brilliant on my part.

A knock sounds on my door and Desiree walks in, followed by Richard. He keeps his expression even,
but I know he doesn’t trust me. He takes a seat in front of my desk. “Richard, how are you finding the
collective?” “Everything is good, we can’t thank you enough for sparing us and allowing us to join.”
“That’s the leader I am Richard. My collective is the most precious thing to me and since you’re no
threat, we are d to have you here. Now that you have settled in, I’m going to need you to contribute
to the collective.” “Of course, I am d to hunt or do whatever you need done.” I smile “wonderful,
since Carter is out on a mission I would like you to join us today for a hunt” I say pointing between
Desiree and myself. I can see his apprehension but he nods. “Good, we shouldn’t be gone long. I’m
sure you’ll want to get back to your mate and pup.” We all head out and we lead Richard into the forest.
As we reach an area of the forest that is dense with trees, Desiree turns to me. I nod and she turns
facing Richard. I follow seeing that she has him frozen in ce. The panic on his face isical.
“Damien what is this?” “This is me giving you a chance to be honest about what you are.” “I have no
idea what your talking about. Release me now you evil witch”, he says to Desiree. She walks forward
until she is standing in front of him. “Such a shame to end such a handsome man” she says, running
her finger down his cheek. Ie to stand a few feet from him. “Maybe if you were honest this wouldn’t
be happening” I say but I can’t even stop myself fromughing. “That’s not true it would be happening.
Your mate and daughter are mine now.” He growls and I can see his hand begin to glow. Desiree must
notice it too. She pulls a syringe from her pocket and, without a second thought, she ces it in his
arm. As she pushes the plunger down, his screams fill the woods. After a few minutes, he looks like he
hasn’t a drop of liquid left in his body. She releases the hold she has on him and his body falls to the
ground.
Even I’m taken back by what she just did. She has powers but she is an average witch at best.
“Desiree you want to tell me what the hell just happened.” She turns and smiles like she has a secret.
“You better tell me what the f**k you just did or you can join him.” Her smile falls and she turns back
into that scared little girl who wants to please me. “I visited the ck magic coven. My cousin helped
me with some ck magic when I told him I wanted to kill some wolves. He hates your kind.” I smile
“very good, now let’s get back. I have to tell Maureen the bad news andfort her.” I can tell she isn’t
happy about Maureen but she won’t ever go against me. “Damien” I hear Carter yelling my name. I turn
just as he breaks through the trees. When he looks at Richard’s body I see disgust on his face. “What
the hell happened?” I smile but never answer. “Desiree take care of the body” I say and lead Carter
back to the territory. “Go get Maureen, I have to tell her about Richard.” “What are you” he starts to say
but I cut him off. “That is none of your concern, just get her and remember your loyalty is to me.” “Of
course, Damien” he says before he heads for the cottages.

“Carter will be back tomorrow and Maureen will be here with me where she belongs. Once I have her
pup she will do whatever I want her to.” “I still don’t understand why you need Maureen. I can take care
of her pup till she is old enough. You know I would do anything for you, Damien.” I roll my eyes. I stand
walking around my desk until I’m standing in front of her. “Desiree, you be the good girl you have
always been and get me what I want.” I bend down and m my lips on hers. I pull back “go to my
room. I’ll be there is a minute.” She smiles and jumps up from the chair like I promised her more than a
good f**k. Once she leaves I link Carter, “is everything going to n?” “Yes, I will be there tomorrow
with the pup and Maureen.” I cut the link and head to my room. I need to keep Desiree on board with
the n till this is all done and then I can be rid of her. She is getting on myst nerve with her bullish*t
about having me.
Maureen POV
After we discuss the n for tomorrow, we head back to the cottage. I need to hold my pup after
everything that happened tonight. “Maureen, are you sure about this n”, John says. “My cousin and I
are strong but anything can happen. I can’t lose you and Penny.” I stop and turn to him. “I promise you
that after tomorrow Damien and that b**ch Desiree will be dead. You will never lose me and Penny. You
are stuck with us for the rest of our lives” I say as I ce my hand on his cheek. I press my lips to his
feeling his love and pouring all my love into this kiss. We pull apart when we are both breathless. “Just
please be careful. We will be near the pack but if you need me you link me immediately.” “I will” I say
taking his hand as I lead him up the stairs. As soon as I open the door, Penny is wrapped around me.
“Mama I was scared.” I scoop her up and we take her into the living room where my mother is sitting on
the couch. I sit holding her on myp. “Penny, how did you get to Nana?” She smiles “the nice man put
me by a tree. He told me to think about home. I thought about my new room and toys.” I smile and kiss
her forehead. “Then what happened sweetie?” “The tree opened like a door and when I went inside I
was back in my room.” I look at my mother. “I heard her yelling for me in her room.” I rushed up the
stairs and there she was holding her doll. That’s when I linked you to let you know she was safe.” I
squeeze her a little bit tighter. Those are her Fae gifts. The ability to use the earth and nature. I say a
thank you to Richard for keeping our pup safe. John wraps his arms around the two of us. I believe in
my heart that Richard sent John with the goddess’s help to protect and love us.
After we tuck Penny into bed, John and I head back downstairs. I notice that my mother has her things
in a bag near the couch. “Mother, what are doing?” “Don’t get nervous, I’m not leaving the pack, just the
cottage. Tomorrow, your handsome mate is going to show me to my new home and he will be moving
here with you and Penny.” I smile and rush over to wrap my mother in a hug. I can’t believe all that has
changed in just a couple of days. “Thank you, Judith” John says. “You don’t need to thank me. You just
be a man of your word and take care of my girls.” He nods and we all get ready for bed. Not that I’ll get
much sleep with what’s going to happen tomorrow.
The Next Day
“You be safe ande back to us in one piece” my mother says as she wraps me in her arms. We
head for the pack yard and everyone is waiting for us. “Are you ready to do this, Maureen,” Lincoln
asks. “I am more than ready.” “Before we leave I want you to be part of the pack so you can link us all,
not just John.” I smile, when I be part of the pack Penny does too. “We will perform the ceremony
with Judith when we return.” I smile grateful this pack has been our salvation. Neal hands me a cup
with Lincoln’s blood in it. “I, Alpha Lincoln Thomas, extend you, Maureen Elizabeth Bloom, an invitation
to be a member of the Nightfire pack. Please make your vow to the pack.” “I, Maureen Elizabeth
Bloom, vow my loyalty to the Nightfire pack. I also vow my loyalty to Alpha Lincoln and Luna Amelia. I
will keep all the pack secrets and raise our pup to do the same.” “Maureen, you and Penny are now
members of the Nightfire Pack and as such, are under the protection of its Alpha, Luna, and ranked
members.” I feel the connection to the pack and it’s amazing. I never expected in my life to be a pack
member. I’ve been a rogue all my life but I’m d that has changed now.
Lily steps in front of me. “Are you ready to do this?” “Yes, I trust youpletely.” Once she performs
the spell, we follow Carter in the direction of the collective. The others will be near but will not move in
until we give them the word. When we reach the area where they will be waiting, John kisses me. I can
see how torn he is to let me go ahead but I have to do this. “I promise I won’t be long.” I kiss him before
I take her hand. We walk another ten minutes before we are met by one of the rogues from the
collective. “Carter, your back. Damien told us to expect you with Maureen and her pup.” “Well, here we
are so he doesn’t have to wait any longer.” He moves aside and I grip her hand a little tighter. Once
we’re in the building, I say a prayer to the goddess that Lily’s n works. Carter knocks and opens the
door. He ushers us inside and Damien is sitting behind his desk with a sickly sweet smile on his face.
“Wee home Maureen” he says and bends down. “Wee home Penny.”
