Jade POV
I reach for my pendant and the ba**ard grabs my arm, pulling me toward him. I tighten my grip on
Luna. Zelda growls but we can’t shift while we are holding her. “You will not hurt Jade or Luna you
ba**ard.” I hear Esme’s voice from behind ke. I see shock on his face and he releases his grip on
me. He turns to look at her. I begin to step back, creating space between us. “I guess I didn’t hit you
hard enough. I should have done the kingdom a favor and just killed your useless a**. I’ll have to fix
that mistake.” He stalks toward her. I rub the pendant and a few secondster my aunt appears. I look
down the hall just in time to see ke consumed in mes. His body falls to the floor and he is
screaming. Tabby is able to contain the mes, so it doesn’t burn the walls. I look up in time to see a
small but beautiful dragon with iridescent blue scales. She copses and her body shifts. The me is
completely gone and all that remains is ash where ke stood. Tabby rushes over to Esme and ces
her hand on Esme’s forehead. The glow of her healing engulfs Esme’s body. I rush down the hallway
and throw open the door to Luca’s office. His eyes whip in my direction with anger until he sees it’s me.
“What’s wrong Jade?” “ke tried to attack me and Esme killed him. She is hurt.” He gets up, rushing
toward me and I turn back down the hallway holding Luna to my chest.
Esme is back on her feet leaning against Tabby when we reach her. Luca scoops her up and carries
her to her room,ying her on the bed. “Luca, I’m fine. Tabby healed me”, Esme says. He reaches
down and pulls her into a hug. “Thank you for saving my mate and daughter. I will never forget what
you have done for me.” “You and those girls are my family. I will always protect you.” Luca stands and
walks toward me. He grips both sides of my face before he presses his lips to mine. He steps back and
wraps his arm around me like he needs me close. I feel the same way. “Jade, are you alright”, William
asks me and I can feel his sincerity. “Thanks to Esme, there isn’t a scratch on me or Luna.” I can feel
sadness and regret rolling off William. He walks over and sits down on Esme’s bed.
“I’m sorry that I ever doubted you, Esme. Please forgive me.” She reaches up and hugs William. I hand
Luca Luna before I walk over and hug Tabby. “Thank you, for always being there when I need you.”
She kisses my forehead. “You are like my own pup, Jade. I will always be there for you and your new
family”, she says, smiling at everyone in the room. “I better go, but I’m sure I’ll see you soon. I have a
feeling you’ll be making a visit to tell us all the good news.” I look at her confused until she bobs her
eyebrows at me. I chuckle and she disappears. There is amotion in the hallway before Brooklyn
and Sherman rush into the room. “We’re fine, calm down” I say to Brooklyn, whose eyes are ck.
“What the hell happened”, Sherman asks. I look at Esme to tell her part of the story. “I was waiting for
Jade in the hallway while she grabbed the bottle. That ba**ard ke hit me with something. I woke up
in a room down the hall”, Esme says. “He was going to kill me. Esme killed him before he could even
try.” Luca growls and wraps his free arm around me, pulling me to his side. I take Luna back in my
arms, grateful that she is safe. “Luca, ke wasn’t alone in the room that he took me to”, Esme says,
getting our attention. We all look toward her. “After he hit me, I could hear voices talking about how
their n to get rid of Luna didn’t work. They were also talking about getting rid of Jade just like.” Her
words die on her lips and her face contorts into a look of sadness. “Esme it’s alright you can tell me”
Luca says. “Like they got rid of Cynthia.”
Luca stiffens and his eyes darken. I hand Luna to Brooklyn and wrap myself around him. He buries his
nose in my neck, breathing deeply. His anger and sadness is overwhelming, but I hold tight to him.
These evil f**ks killed Cynthia. How could they kill her after she had just given birth? Bile rises in my
throat to think about how many people in this kingdom are involved in all of this. How they could betray
their own king for some stupid agenda. When Luca pulls back, his cheeks are tear-stained and my
heart breaks for this man I have fallen in love with. “I’m sorry Jade” he says, looking into my eyes. I
ce my hand on his cheek. “You have nothing to be sorry for and it only makes me love you more.
Taking me as your mate doesn’t change how you felt about Cynthia. You have every right to be angry
and sad about what happened to her. I’m angry and sad about what happened to her. She didn’t get to
have the life she should have. I promise you that we will make sure everyone involved suffers for what
they have done.” He ms his lips down on mine and kisses me until I’m breathless. When he pulls
back, he rests his head against mine. “I love you, Jade. You are mine and I am yours. Nothing will ever
change that.” I smile at his words. “I love you, Luca. We are in this together.”
Luca POV
This woman is amazing. I thought I would see pain in her eyes seeing me so hurt over what happened
to Cynthia, but instead she is angry. Angry at people who should have protected my Queen but instead
ended her life. I will always love Cynthia. She was amazing and she gave me my daughter. I know she
wants me to be happy and in many ways, Jade is like her. Despite what my father thought of Cynthia,
she was strong and caring. I believe in my heart that the goddess chose Jade because she is strong,
protective, and caring just like Luna’s mother. Jade is perfect and I’m done waiting to make her mine. It
is happening today. I turn to the others in the room. “Sherman, I want you to stay here with the girls.
Father, I want you to gather everyone from the hospital who was involved with Luna’s birth and bring
them to my office.” “Of course, Luca.” The conversation with him today about the past has mended
some of our rtionship, but we still need more time to fix everything that has happened between us. It
has been broken for a very long time and it won’t be fixed that easily. I’m d he finally told me about
my mother. He walks over and pulls me into a hug. “I’m so sorry about everything I said about Cynthia.
I’m sorry you lost her and that my judgement was clouded by my past. I never thought the council could
do something so vile. As Jade said, everyone involved will be held ountable for their actions.”
“Thank you for your apology. That is the past and we need to move forward. All I want to do now is
figure out who the hell did this and make sure they pay for their crimes.” He nods and I lead Jade to my
office to wait for my father to return with the doctors and nurses.
Autumn POV
Connor is standing still, just staring at Summer. I know she is worried he will be afraid of her. He starts
to move toward us and sheys down. He sits in front of her and ces his hand on her snout. The
tingles erupt as he moves his hand up and down through her fur. Summer purrs like a cat and I can’t
help butugh. That’s the second time she has made that noise since Connor arrived. “What is with the
purring, Summer?” She doesn’t answer, just continues to enjoy Connor’s touch. “You’re beautiful and
your fur is so soft.” She is in her glory hearing our mate’spliments. We stay that way for a long
time just enjoying spending time with him. I don’t know how much time passes when Connor stands
and backs up, giving us room to shift. I shift and he doesn’t take his eyes off me. He watches as I pull
my shorts and shirt back on. Once I’m done, he walks over and takes my hand in his. “Thank you for
letting me meet Summer. She is incredible. You are incredible.” A few seconds pass and I can tell he
wants to say more, so I just wait. “Autumn, can I kiss you?” “I don’t know if I’ll be any good at it, but I
would love to kiss you.” He runs his finger down my cheek. “Autumn you couldn’t be bad at kissing.
Just knowing I will be your first kiss is amazing.” Butterflies are dancing in my belly. I know what he said
but I don’t want to screw this up. He leans in and brushes his lips against mine before he wraps his arm
around me. He presses his lips firmly to mine and I move with him. It feels like I’m melting into him. If
he wasn’t wrapped around me, my knees would give out. The sparks are moving all over my body. I’m
grateful that he won’t be able to smell my arousal. He pulls back and I already miss his touch.
“That was amazing”, Connor says, and I’m sure my cheeks are red. He threads his fingers in mine and
we start to walk back toward the cottage. “Autumn, will you go on a date with me?” I stop walking and
he looks worried when he turns to look at me. “I would love to go on a date with you.” We almost reach
the cottage when a link about an attack at the southern borderes through. I freeze “Connor, I need
you to inside the cottage and stay there.” “What’s wrong” he says with worry in his voice. “There is an
attack at the border of the pack. I have to go to fight. I need you to stay here and be safe.” I see
something sh in his eyes and my heart sinks. He turns without a word and heads inside. I have to
help the others, but I pray this doesn’t change all that just happened between us. Summer whimpers
but we don’t have time to sulk. I shift and Summer takes off for the border. We arrive and the other
warriors are facing twenty supernaturals. Gemma and Razor are in front of the warriors and I join them.
Ruby shifts and I do the same.
Ruby POV
I shift and a man steps forward that I can scent is a warlock. He is surrounded by vampires and I know
this has something to do with that damn prophecy. He looks me up and down with a sick smile. “I am
here to speak to the Alpha little girl, not you.” He shes his eyes toward my father, who doesn’t shift.
“You are speaking to the Alpha. What do you want? I should say what do you want to die for?” He
laughs “you really think that a bunch of mutts can stand against a powerful warlock and vampires. The
girl will be ours and there is nothing you pathetic mutts can do to stop us.” I turn to Autumn. I haven’t
told her yet, but she will be my Beta, since Brooklyn and Wesley have taken their ces with their
mates. She waves her hand and the warlock grabs at his throat. “I think you’ll find that this is no
ordinary pack. No one will touch her or any member of my pack. You will all die along with all those you
conspire with against us.” I shift and we all take off toward the vampires. I know that Autumn can
handle the warlock. Gemma is ripping through vampire after vampire. We look around and the pack
has killed everyst one of them. Autumn has the warlock in the air and he is turning a shade of purple
I’ve never seen. She chants something and his body melts and forms a puddle on the ground. I rush
over wrapping her in a hug. “Do you know how amazing you are?” I pull back and I can see sadness in
her eyes despite her smile. I’m going to kick Connor’s a**.
Milo POV
We watch from the trees as the warlock and half of my vampires are killed. “What the f**k was that” I
say to Cassandra. “It looks like that old pr*ck didn’t know everything about the Scarlett Rose Pack.
Terrance was a strong warlock and she killed him like he was a newbie.” “What the f**k do we do now?
We need to get to that brat before her first shift. If she is as special as the prophecy says, then I’m sure
she will shift early. I want that power. Then we will be the strongest supernatural couple in our world.” I
grab her and lick the fresh mark on her neck. She is my mate for now. When I realized we were fated, it
worked perfectly with my n. She will do anything because of this damn bond. After I kill that mutt and
this stupid b**ch I will take back what is truly mine, Danica.
