Iknewitwascoming. I just didn’t think it would be so soon. I thought I’d have more time with my kids and my mates.
“What’s going on?”Ash asks in my head, startling me. Having them in my mind will take some time to get used to.
The fast and rough steps the guys make are loud enough to shake the house.
An entire army swarms through the kitchen and probably extends into the living room and outside.
My guys push through to get to me, but as soon as they part the crowd in the kitchen, their limp bodies fall to the floor.
Theo was not going to let me go that easily. I’m too important to his mission to bring back the lycans. To bring back his—other family.
At least now I know the real reason he needed my power.
If I could use my powers to persuade them, I would, but they’re all wearing shades. It’s like they’ve done this before, and they probably have. They’ve been alive for a very long time.
I look at my men lying on the floor. What the hell is going on with them? Their eyes are closed, but I can see movement behind their heavy lids as if they were stuck in a bad dream. I try to call out to them, but it’s like the mind connection we have is closed. We can’t communicate with one another.
I look up to see a guy with a tattoo on his forehead looking bored out of his mind, but his unwavering gaze is focused on the guys. He has to be the one doing this to my men.
“Once she leaves with us, you can lose your grip on your power.” The man with the tattooed face nods his head without uttering a single word.
My eyes dart between my men with fear and confusion. Their muscles tick and twitch, but they can’t seem to wake up or move. They don’t know what’s happening to them. I shiver remembering the dreamscape I was in. It must be like that.
My men fight against whatever force they are facing, and their lips turn a sickening shade of purple.
“Ash, wake up!” I yell, my voice trembling with uncertainty. He stops twitching for a moment like he hears me, but then his struggle continues.
“Tyler, wake up!” I shout louder, but there is still nothing.
“Az, wake up. I need you!” He stirs desperately in his sleep to reach me, but he can’t fight the power that’s keeping him under.
“Az, it’s not real, whatever you’re facing, it’s not real.” My voice breaks. He seems to be struggling the most with whatever is going on in his head. His claws come out of his fingertips, and he’s dragging them across the marble floor, making long, sharp dents like he’s trying to escape.
Though I’m worried about all my guys, Az and Ash are the ones I’m most anxious for. They told me about their past lives before we mated to make sure I really wanted to be with them, but of course I wanted them. Their past doesn’t change anything.
“Make it stop,” I whisper, watching my broken mate struggle against whatever he believes is real.
“We’ll make it stop when you come with us, and we’ll leave your family alone,” one of the intruders replies. I don’t look up to see who it is because I don’t care.
A tear falls down my cheek and onto the floor. This will probably be the last memory I have of them. But I remember what we did last night, and a small smile shapes my lips, but it’s gone quickly.
I take a deep breath before saying my next words. “I’ll go with you.” I can’t look at them anymore. It’s going to kill me to see their faces.
I’m already out the door when I hear another man saying, “Let them go.”
The screaming and the shouting begin, but I have too many supes surrounding me for them to notice me or for me to be able to see them.
At least we had a beautiful night together. The only thing I regret is not being able to say goodbye, but I know my guys will take care of my children as if they were their own.
Now I know what Krissy meant by,“He will take you, and your men won’t be able to protect you.”She was talking about Theo.
I can almost taste the sisters’ words now.“It’s a shame that it had to fall on you. Especially because you have kids.”Did they foresee this happening?
All of this because I got bitten by fucking Dan, but it feels like everything was supposed to happen this way. The magic I was born with would have stayed dormant my entire life if it wasn’t for the magic of being a wolf, and without becoming a wolf, I wouldn’t have found my true mates.
A pang of guilt shoots through me as I let my mind linger on my guys. They’ve all been through so much pain and loss, and they don’t deserve to be abandoned this way. We haven’t had much time together, but the kids and I have quickly become their whole world. I know I’m letting them down by going quietly, and as I’m saving them from death, I’m also condemning them to a lifetime of regret.
Maybe I ignored the sisters’ warning all this time because I never understood the full magnitude of what they were telling me. I was too fixated on my guys being larger than life and more dangerous than any threat that we could face. I was so wrong.
