trees, I command, suddenly taking the lead in this fight.
On it, Dooly, swiftly responds as his eagle, much larger in stature than a regular one hovers above.
From below, Caspen and I continue to claw at and shake the evergreens as Alec remains tree hopping while Dooly soars above in pursuit of his prey. We need him alive, Caspen alerts us.
At least for now, I offer, my thirst for vengeance on his possible crimes against this community and my family driving my every thought.
The surrounding area is flooded with the thunderous roars and growls as we fight this enemy. My vision is locked in; he’ll be joining you two on the ground momentarily. Be ready, Dooly eagerly announces. From below, we watch Dooly dive and in one sudden swoop, he has Alec locked tightly within his talons. Incoming, he proudly declares before releasing his grip, dropping him from high above.
As Alec’s body makes contact with the earth beneath our paws, it mildly quakes, leaving Alec unconscious. Caspen takes his paw and swats at him, slightly breaking the flesh in an attempt to call any possible bluff before we shift back. He’s out, boys. Good job.
Vaughn
Yes! They got him, I enthusiastically declare, looking to Shyla.
Never doubted them, she agrees with a purr to her tone.
Looking over at our children, my heart sighs and sings its own melody in triumph. One down, and hopefully no more to go, at least for the remainder of the evening.
Stay vigilant, my love. Tonight’s battle is over, but the war has yet to be won. We’re taking him into the station now. I will make certain that Glorianna sticks around to keep the protection barrier in place. For now, rest, please. And kiss our daughter goodnight from me, Trigger connects with me, giving his directive for the night.
Epilogue
Caspen
We’ve just placed enchanted collars on Alec and Daphne that will ensure them no longer being able to perform magic nor will they be able to shift.
The days and nights seem linear as we await a trial of formal interrogation to be bestowed upon the suspects and the degree of their involvement. As impatient as we all are to see justice prevail, there is a system in place for a reason, and we must uphold its integrity.
With many questions still unanswered, we will prevail, and find the culprits, as there are obviously more pieces to this puzzle than originally suspected.
“Mate, mine, need.” My cat’s razor-sharp claws leave me raw inside with his unwavering needs and desire to claim.
Shyla
While we now know we face a much longer journey ahead of us, we revel in our small victory for now as we are closer than before. As settled as I find myself feeling, I still remind myself that this is far from over and there is much more work ahead of us to ensure the safety of these shifter babies. My heart sinks at the thought of the still missing lion cub. Will we ever find him? If we do, in what condition will we get him back in exactly? These thoughts sometimes keep me awake at night. But, for now, I’ve been instructed by Caspen to trust the process; so, I’ve chosen to surrender some of my stress.
Work has and is continuing as usual for Vaughn and myself. We endlessly battle with missing women and children, but at the end of the night, having a mate to come home to and talk about the day’s woes has been a reprieve. I no longer harbor the majority of the doubts that have plagued me for months. I get a sense of relief from talking each and every night over a bottle of wine to be refreshing.
Caspen and I haven’t completed the bond, we’ve chosen to get to know each other on a more personal, intimate level. Each passing day grows more sexually stressful, but I know when we finally lay claim to one another, it’ll be well worth it. The instinctual need to consummate our bond deepens by the day, so I feel our time is near.
The End For Now...
An important note to readers:
Each book in this series will deal with a specific couple (as is typical) although you might see hints of other couples, and one piece of the puzzle will be revealed. So, if there are things you don’t feel were addressed that were uncovered, rest assured, they’ll be covered in a future book! Happy reading; we hope you enjoy our foray into the supernatural!
