Nixon thrashes, snapping his jaws wildly and close to his face when he shrieks.
One minute, he was thrashing under Valen’s grip.
The next, Valen grabbed Nixon’s bottom jaw with one hand and the top with the other.
My stomach heaved when he pried Nixon’s jaw wide, snapping it.
His bottom jaw hung limply, and blood sprayed everywhere.
Yet still, Valen didn’t let him go as Nixon’s screaming howls cut out.
Valen’s canines slip out in his rage as Nixon loses the fight, his body moving slower as he bled out.
When I saw Valen’s claws slip free before he punched his hand as he moved on top of him straight down Nixon’s throat, I could hear his insides being torn to pieces by his powerful razor-sharp claws.
Blood gushed and spewed out of Nixon’s mouth as he forced his arm to his elbow down his throat before reefing it out and along with it, Nixon’s heart.He drops it standing up.His entire body was drenched from head to toe in Nixon’s blood when his eyes moved to Amber, who was trying to sit up.
It was at that moment I realized he was going to kill her, thinking she was involved.
“Valen! She tried to help!” I screamed through the mind link as his hand reached for her.
He stopped glancing over his shoulder at her just as police cars screamed toward us with their sirens blaring loudly.
Amber drops her head, but she looks terrible, and the moment he stands up, relief floods me.
He turned to face me, and I felt woozy.
Valen POV
Reaching for Amber, I was furious.They tried to attack my kids! My mate! “Valen! She tried to help!”
Everly screams through the link, and my hand pauses before I grab her.I peer over my shoulder at Everly.
When I got here, all I saw was my mate fighting for her life and our kids but turning to face her, I was slapped with shock.Her wolf was magnificent, strong, and rivaled my own in size.
Her gunmetal grey fur was covered in blood as she sways on her feet, and I could fee) the poison running through my system and my lips part.She was covered in bites, and I had no doubt that the poison running through my veins was forsaken venom.
Looking at Amber, I could tell she was feeling its effects too when cop cars flooded the parking lot.
“Everly?”
I stammer as she sways again before running at me.I catch her wolf as she pounces on me, her tongue licking every inch of my face as I land on my ass.
Relief floods me when I feel through the bond to find the venom not affecting her, proving my DNA in her veins was enough to give her some immunity, though I could tell she felt queasy.
Yet her relief upon seeing me and the adrenaline overrode the effects.
“You’re beautiful,” I tell her, pulling her furry head back and stopping her mauling tongue.
I look past her at the car.Valarian, I could see talking to his sisters as the police started pulling them from their seats.I sucked in a breath, seeing them thrashing and screaming in the officer’s arms, and I knew they were alright.I had never been so petrified as when I saw Nixon’s wolf’s head inside the window.
Everly shifts in my arms, and I rip my shirt off as she does, yanking it over her head before she even had fully shifted back.
The moment she did, she rushed toward our kids, and I tugged her back.
“I can feel Forsaken venom.Can’t you feel it?” I ask her, and she whimpers, wanting to go to the kids, but we couldn’t risk them getting the blood on them, not knowing if it will affect them.
I wrapped my arms around her waist, knowing I was the only thing keeping her from snatching them out of the officer’s arm just as ambulances finally get on the scene.
Amber is rushed off and disappears while Valarian is checked over.
Nixon only appeared to have scratched his arm, not actually have bitten him.
“It’s over love.It’s finally over,” I whisper to her, and she inhales deeply, watching our kids being fussed over.
My car had run into another, not having turned it off when I slammed on the brakes and jumped out as I pulled in.
However, I could not care less about the damage; the main thing was my family was okay.
Guilt gnawed at me.
What if I didn’t get here in time? What if they had succeeded in taking them or Killed them all? Despite all my rampant thoughts, immense relief flooded the bond, and I know this was something that had been an endless worry for her.
Not knowing where Nixon was had the entire city on edge.And now we did, dead at our feet.
Now, hopefully, we can finally move on with our lives.
Everly 4 months later
It was scorching hot today, and Macey, Ava, Zoe, and I had just left from the final dress fitting. It wasn’t my dress that needed altering, but Zoe’s this time. Her growing baby bump was getting bigger every day.
“I just need to grab bread and milk. I don’t feel like stopping after getting Valarian from school,” I tell the girls as we step out of the bridal store. “I’ll come; I need to grab a few things too,” Macey says, slipping her sunglasses on. Zoe pulled the sunshade over the stroller, and we walked the short distance to the shopping center. It was easier to walk than wrangle all three girls in the car and the stroller. Walking into the shops, I sigh as the cold air conditioning sweeps over us.
We walk through the shopping center when Macey shrieks, making us all nearly jump out of our skin when she takes off toward a store. “Man, this baby has more clothes than I do at this point,” Zoe whines as Macey bounces on her heels, holding up a blue Winnie the Pooh onesie.
“No, Macey, please! I am running out of places to put all his clothes,” Zoe whines, but Macey wasn’t hearing it as she wandered into the store. I waited out the front, the store was much too small for me to navigate the stroller around.
When Macey comes out, she is holding two bags full of baby boy clothes.
“You’re impossible,” Zoe tells her, but she thanks her anyway. “So, have you and Tatum had any luck yet?” Ava asks her, nudging me aside and taking over the pushing of the stroller.
“No. We met one surrogate the other week, but Doc said the chances of finding a she-wolf to donate her eggs is near impossible. So we thought of adopting,” she sighs, and I nibble my lip. Tatum and Macey wanted a child, and Macey wanted to give Tatum his own child, but her options were limited.
And besides human donor eggs, she had had no luck.
“The surrogate?” Zoe asks.
“A little cooky, and Tatum worried she wasn’t of sound mind to carry and hand the child over at the end,” Macey says.
“Some things aren’t meant to be,” she states as we walk into the grocer. I grab a few groceries, so does Macey. I was excited to get home, and poor Zoe’s feet were so swollen from standing all day, so I knew she wanted to get home too. We were at the checkout, and I had just set my basket down when Zoe nudged me with her elbow toward the self-serve across from us.
Looking up, I see Amber. I tried to find her after the attack from Nixon, but as soon as she was better, she left the hospital. And I had no idea where she was even living, though we heard rumors that she was homeless. We constantly checked the homeless shelter to see if she showed up, but never found any sign of her.
“Is it weird that I feel terrible for her?” Zoe whispers as she scans her minimal items. Macey leans against the register and peers over at her.
“No, she lost everything. Her family, her pack. We have been where she is.That is probably why,” I tell her. Ava smiles sadly. Amber was our friend growing up, so seeing her down in the dumps bothered me. This was not the Amber we were accustomed to. The clerk bags our items when I hear her self serve register go off, saying her card declined. My stomach sinks, and I peer over to see what she is buying, only to find canned food and toilet paper. Was she really struggling that bad?
“Evie.” Zoe whispers, nudging me and nodding toward her.
Zoe was too kindhearted, and most in her position wouldn’t care for the girl after all the heartache she sat by and kept tight lipped about. But we knew exactly what it was like to be in her shoes. “So who’s going over there?” Macey sighs, looking at us expectantly.
