Sally’s POV
I was surprised to see the next gift from the goddess. Whatever is going to happen in the future is going to be bad.
I must make sure they are prepared.
We only have a little over three years left before he finds them.
I was relieved when I saw them both laughing.
Now the real work starts. I’m not sure how we are going to do this with their schedules. Taylor, Izzy?
They both looked at me. “You’re going to have to find time for me to train you on how to use your gifts.” Taylor nods. “Let’s worry about this tomorrow.”
Tonight is the twins’ birthday and my engagement party.
Let’s enjoy the evening and meet in my office tomorrow at ten. That’s great. I’ll be there.
The rest of the evening, everyone danced, played in the pool, or sat by the fire and ate.
I looked around at the family we had all become. I promise I will do everything I can to make sure we are always this happy.
Noah walks up behind Sally, wraps his arms around her waist, and says, “Penny, for your thoughts.”
I was just looking at our family. I know my love, and I also know you’re going to do whatever you have to do to make sure they’re safe.
After all this is said and done, what about us starting a family of our own? She gave him a brilliant smile. “I would love nothing more.”
We could start practicing now if you want,” she says grinning. He pecks her lips really fast.
“I thought you would never ask,” then picks her up and takes off running to their cabin while laughing all the way there.
Taylor’s POV
The evening went great, better than I ever expected. I was so happy that she agreed to be my wife.
Hey boss? I’m so happy for you!” he puts a hand on my shoulder. “You deserve to be happy. And Izzy is the best thing that’s ever happened to you.
I would have to agree. “She is the best thing that has ever happened in my life, and I’m so grateful to the moon goddess for giving her to me.”
I agree, because no one else is going to put up with you, especially when you have your little mood swings. Jarred says grinning.
Rolling my eyes, Jarred, we have been best friends since we were young, and I was wondering and hoping you would be my best man?
Jarred lifts his brow at him and casually says, haven’t I always been your best man? He chuckles.
I knew it, I should have just bitten him, says Ry.
I should have let you! Thinking about it, he probably would have liked it. Yuck! It ain’t happening Ry snorts! Taylor chuckles,
Then I would have to wash my mouth out to get rid of the bad taste. Shaking my head, ewww.
Let’s go get our mates and call it a night. I want to spend some alone time with her.
I agree, we run up to Izzy, picked her up, and threw her over my shoulder, then started running back to the pack house with her laughing.
Taylor put me down! Not a chance, my love, your mine! Taylor!!!
Not a chance. So you might as well just enjoy the ride.
Sighing, you win.
Smacking her on the a**, good girl. My face blushes a deep red.
We spent the rest of the night in each other’s arms until the early hours of the morning when we both found a peaceful sleep wrapped in each other’s arms.
Cassius’s POV
These months have been the worst. I lost all of Pete’s family, and we have been unable to find them.
We can’t even figure out who has them or who helped them.
But we still have Vince, and they will never get to him.
Martin? Yes, boss, it’s time we move Vince. Since the rest of Pete’s family just disappeared, I want to make sure they don’t get to him.
Boss, I saw him a few hours ago, he was still lying there on the floor.
Put him in the south room. Let him shower and clean up because I am going to need him to get Pete and his family back.
Yes, boss, I’ll go get him now. Take Dr. Mac with you. He might need some help. Yes, boss, on it.
Boss, he says through mind link, he’s not here! What do you mean he’s not here? Boss, the cell is empty. A few minutes later, Malcolm walks into the cell.
Where are the guards that were supposed to be watching him? Right over there. He walks over, boss, we never heard anything.
Reaching over, Cassius pulls out his throat with a single swipe. B..boss .. he stutters.
Clean up this mess! One more word and you will follow your buddy. Y.. yes, boss. He picks up his friend and pulls him out of the room.
Martin, can you tell me how they got in here without being seen?
I’m not sure, boss. I can only smell Vince; there are no other smells in the cell. There’s nothing indicating that someone else was here.
How is that even possible? O..only a witch or wizard could do that, stutters Martin.
I HATE WITCHES; they are the reason I haven’t gotten what I want.
Vince is all messed up and doesn’t know anything since he’s been down here all these years. The chances of him surviving after all these years, as Cassius starts to laugh.
Martin nods, knowing that if he says anything, it could end up being his death.
Send warriors out and have them search for them. Make sure we are still keeping an eye on Alpha Tony.
Alpha Tony is away on business with his Luna and children; they left yesterday.
Why am I just finding out about this now? What we heard was Alpha Diaz is having an Alpha meeting, and all the Alphas were going.
Ah yes, I did hear about that. Check into it. Sir, we will never get near his pack unless invited.
They don’t even have rogue issues due to how prepared they are. His people travel to train other packs, he stutters.
They even have a wall all around their pack lands. When did they build a wall? A few years ago.
We’ll see what you can find out. Yesss, sir.
Where are those stupid mutts hiding?
Pete’s POV
Alpha Taylor and Izzy are a blessing, and I am so grateful and happy for them.
Because of them, I have all my family back. I just hope we got to my brother in time.
Your brother is strong, and he’s made it this long, says Sally.
Sighing, I know he is. I…I just can’t lose him, as a single tear runs down his cheek. You won’t. It’s just going to take time. Thank you, he half smiles.
Izzy walks over and gives Pete a hug.
Pete, I’m not going to tell you he’s going to make it, because I know he will.
He didn’t hold on this long to give up now.
If that were the case, he would have given up a long time ago.
And that’s something I would know!
Giving him a cheesy smile.
He chuckles, and shakes his head. After everything I had done to you, I am so grateful that you became the person you did.
