    23 New Mates


    Cayden POV


    As soon as Micah says mate, I know what the hell is happening but he doesn’t. Mason is sniffing the air


    and walking toward Eli. Mason lets out a growl that would make most wolves sh*t themselves, but Eli


    smiles. “Your mates are here and safe now, calm down.” Their eyes shift back to their normal color as


    they look between us. “They were prisoners of the collective that ra and I were held in.” Now both


    their growls fill the room. “Enough” Eli gives Alphamand and they both quiet. “I know you are angry


    and scared but going crazy in the hospital will not help your mates. ra goes to stand near Eli before


    she turns toward the twins. “They will need time just as I did, but I have faith that the two of you can


    help them ovee all they have been through”, ra says. She walks over to Mason first and wraps


    him in a hug. I wait to hear Eli growl, but it neveres. She hugs Micah and his sadness is palpable


    in the room. “Have faith in the goddess. She knew that you and your brother are who the girls need to


    be happy. Anything worth having is worth fighting for Micah.” He squeezes her a little tighter before he


    finally releases her. She rejoins Eli and we wait to hear from the doctor. I say a prayer to the goddess to


    protect Eudora and Edita.


    After what feels like hours, the doctores back out to speak with us. “The youngdies are stable


    but they are in no way out of the woods. They are severely malnourished and have bruises covering


    most of their bodies. I believe their wolves have been suppressed and are not healing them.” I hear a


    whimper and I know it’s Mason. “We are going to do everything we can for them, Betas.” They both nod


    and my heart breaks for the pain I see on their faces. “Can we sit with them doctor and try to offer them


    healing,” Micah asks. “Give the nurses a few more minutes and then absolutely. Anything that will help


    them heal can’t hurt.” We all take a seat and Mason breaks the silence. “What are our mates’ names?”


    “Eudora and Edita are their names. They came to the collective when they were five years old after


    they were taken from their pack. They couldn’t remember anything about their pack. They said that


    their daddy was a big wolf and their mommy was pretty.” I smile at the memory of the little girls who


    were so innocent. I wish I was able to protect them as much as I wish that I could have protected ra.


    I look up and my sister is walking toward me. She sits down and pulls me into a hug. “You need to stop


    ming yourself for things that were out of your control. You are a survivor as much as those girls are,


    as much as I am. You are the reason that the three of us are alive.” She pulls back and I love the


    strength and happiness I see in my sister now.


    Micah POV


    After about twenty minutes, the doctores out and leads us to the room. When he swings open the


    door, the most intoxicating scent of lc invades my nose. Dax is losing his sh*t when he sees our mate


    is hooked up to machines and her face is covered in bruises. I do everything I can to keep my wolf


    under control. If that f**ker wasn’t dead right now, I would rip him apart with my bare hands. That witch


    is next in line for death for helping him hurt people I love. Mason goes to Edita’s bedside and takes her


    hand in his. This is not how I expected finding our mates to go. I wasn’t sure if we would share a mate


    as that happens often with identical twins. I’m grateful that we don’t. I want this beautiful woman to


    myself. I just pray that ra is right and she epts me. I can’t live another day of my life without her. I


    take a deep breath and pull a chair next to her bed. I take her hand in mine and I’m grateful to feel her


    warmth. The tingles that dance wherever our skin touches feels amazing. I brush my fingers up and


    down her forearm. I notice that the monitor that lets me know my mate is alive starts to beep faster with


    my touch. Even though she is unconscious, her body recognizes her mate. “Let’s try to help our mate


    Micah”, Dax says. I ce my forehead against hers. I think about healing her and I can feel the energy


    moving out of me and into her. I pull back when I’m done and ce a soft kiss on her forehead. She


    doesn’t wake up but the bruises that were prominent on her face are now gone. I just pray that she


    wakes up soon before my wolf and I lose it.


    Mason POV


    I can’t believe all this is happening. I’m so grateful that Cayden rescued our mates from that horrible


    ce. What if they had died? My wolf growls “don’t talk like that. She is here with us where she is


    meant to be.” “I know Jett, but what if ra is wrong? What if they can’t get past what those bastards


    did to them?” “Then we don’t deserve to call ourselves their mates.” His words sting and I hate that he


    is right. I don’t care how long it takes, I will prove to this woman that no one will ever hurt her again.


    That she is safe here with me. That she is meant to be mine. I hold her soft hand in mine while I look at


    the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen. Despite the bruising and cuts, she is gorgeous. I turn to see


    Micah doing the healing spell before I stand and do the same. I think with all that has happened we


    forget that not only can the doctors help our mates but we can. My overwhelming sadness was


    clouding my thinking. I ce my forehead against hers and as soon as the energy passes to her, I pull


    back. Her face ispletely healed and I can’t help but run my fingers down her cheek. I take my seat


    again before I take her hand in mine.


    A light knock sounds on the door and Eli walks in with ra. She walks over to Eudora first and bends,


    whispering something in her ear. Shees over and does the same in Edita’s ear. Despite our


    hearing, I can’t make out exactly what she said. She stands back up looking between myself and


    Micah. “Congrattions to you both and I know where your minds are right now. I know you both have


    the strength to prove to your mates that they are everything to you despite what they have been


    through”, ra says. We both stand and bro-hug Eli before we wrap ra in another hug.


    A moan gets my attention and I turn to see my mate’s eyes fluttering open. The minute she sees us,


    the fear I see in her eyes guts me. I start to walk toward her but rays her hand on my forearm,


    stopping me. ra starts to walk toward my mate. “Hi Edita, do you remember me from the collective?”


    She nods and it takes all that I have in me not to scoop her up in my arms and hold her to my chest.


    “You are safe here. No one is going to hurt you, I promise” ra says. She offers her hand to my mate


    and she takes it. “Where is Eudora”, she asks with panic in her voice. “Your sister is right there. She is


    fine, she just hasn’t woken up yet.” “How did we get here?” “Cayden destroyed the collective and he


    and my mate saved you both.” She looks around the room between Eli, me and Micah. ra points to


    Eli, “that is my mate. He is the Alpha of the Nightfire pack.” Her eyes get like saucers and I hold back a


    chuckle. “That means you are a Luna, ra.” “Yes it does.” She looks back at me before she drops her


    gaze. “Edita, that is Mason and that is Micah. They are the Betas of this pack.” She manages to look at


    me again before she drops her gaze. Without her wolf present, she doesn’t realize that I am her mate.


    ra must know what I am thinking. “Edita, have you been able to feel your wolf yet?” “Yes, I can feel


    her now.” My heart sinks. She knows that I am her mate and she hasn’t imed me. Jett whimpers and


    I hate this for both of us.


    Calliope POV


    I wake to find myself outside our cottage. The night air feels cold against my skin and I have no idea


    how the hell I got out here. I remember going to sleep. Movement in the trees gets my attention and I


    reach out to Aurora. It’s strange but I can’t feel her. I start to panic until I see a red wolf walking toward


    me. “Aurora, how is this possible?” “You’re still asleep but there is something that the goddess wants


    you to see.” This is the craziest dream I have ever had but I go with it. Aurorays down and I climb on


    her back. She takes off and I don’t know how long we run before things start to look familiar. “Aurora,


    why the hell are we here?” She doesn’t answer and continues to run, crossing the border. I pray no


    patrol guard sees us right now. “No one can see us, Calliope. We aren’t really here.” She enters the


    pack house and when we reach the cells my heart sinks. Bradford is huddled in the corner of the cell


    holding onto Julie. “Is this real or am I imagining this happening? Where is Anthony?” “I wish it wasn’t


    real but it is. Anthony left and is in hiding. They never made it out of the pack.” The rage that begins to


    build is blinding. “We have to save them. They are in here because he tried to protect me. I will not


    allow my father to hurt another person that is important to me.” “The goddess agrees but the rest is up


    to us, Calliope.”

    She turns heading up the stairs and back out of the pack house. “What are you doing, Aurora? We


    can’t leave them here.” “Calliope, we are not here but we wille back for them. I have to show you


    something else before we head back. We run through the trees until wee to a clearing that is


    covered with flowers. The temperature that was cold is now warm against my skin. Aurora stops and a


    few feet away is a bass. I’m confused, but it doesn’t stop me from sliding off Aurora’s back and


    walking toward the bass. I reach it in ten steps. I look down and the sweetest little pup is sleeping


    peacefully. I turn to Aurora to ask her what this means, but she is gone. The pup starts to cry and I


    can’t help but lean down and scoop her in my arms. I start to walk with her pressed to my chest. She


    quiets and I feel a sense of peace. I start to feel exhaustion like I’ve never known, but I’m not ready to


    let go of the pup, so Iy down on the soft grass with her on my chest. I don’t know how long has past


    but I wake up in a panic when I realize the pup is gone. I look around and realize I’m in my room. I wipe


    sweat from my brow and reach out to Aurora. I can feel her but she is quiet. “Aurora, who was the pup


    in our dream?” “She is our pup.” I can’t have heard her right. I don’t even have a mate. Before I can ask


    her any more questions, we get a link that there is a wolf at the southern border. I throw the nkets off


    and rush outside. We shift and rush toward the border and Piper joins us. Carter is already waiting and


    as soon as I see the man, I shift. I run to him, wrapping him in a hug when I hear a growl and the word


    “mate” from behind me.
