I am sitting at my desk in my office. I have started coming in more. Mykayla just started coming back

into the office this week. Nothing has happened in months which is starting to make me suspicious. I

have had a weird feeling for the last week. I met with the rest of the guys and voiced my concerns.

They all agreed. I am deep in thought when Mykayla walks into my office. I didn't realize she was there

until she ran her fingers through my hair.

“You ok.” She asks with concern in her eyes.

“Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind,” I tell her.

I can see her start to shut down like last time when I didn’t tell her what was happening. I grab her hand

as she turns to leave and pull her into my lap.

“Hey listen I’ll tell you what’s going on,” I say to her.

I told her everything that we guys talked about. I let her know that we have not found anything. We just

had a weird feeling. I lay my head on her chest and let out a sigh. I am still convinced that they are after

Mykayla, Kylani, and Mykenzie.

“Seriously, keep that shit at home,” Kaleb says as he walks in unannounced.

“Fuck you, I can guarantee if Kylani showed up here to visit you that you would lock your office and be

unavailable for hours.” I snark at him.

He just shrugs his shoulders as he smirks. He can’t argue with me because he knows it’s true. I am

glad he found his mate. I know he had been looking since he was 18. I do have to admit that I was a

little jealous that Kylani was his mate. I love Mykayla, but for fuck sake, my best friend landed a

goddess. I guess having a sexy fae is just as good.

“We need to get home now”, Nate gasps as he comes running in.

“I stand up, grab Mykayla and push her behind me to protect her from something. I see Kaleb tense up,

and we look at each other.

“What the fuck is going on?” I demand.

“I just got a mind link from dad. Someone tried to kidnap the kids.” Nate explains, still out of breath.

I hear Mykayla gasp, and I can feel her start to shake.

“Dominick.” I hear her whisper.

I can hear the tears in her voice. I can feel my anger rising. I look at Kaleb and see him trying to mind

link someone. I can tell he is pissed that someone tried to kidnap our babies.

“No, the babies are fine. They tried to kidnap Bree, Araya, Mariah, Brenton, and Ziara.” He says.

I hear Mykayla gasp again. I turn around to see her eyes roll back in her head as she passes out. I

catch her, and the three of us leave through my private elevator and head home. I have Mykayla lying

in my lap as we drive home. She wakes up about halfway home. I can see the panic attack coming,

and I tell her it’s going to be ok. When we get home, it is total chaos. I see dad and Uncle Liam walking

up to us. I mind-linked Natalya and asked her to come to get Mykayla. She is there in no time. I tell

Mykayla to go into the house, and I will let her know what is going on as soon as I find something out.

She tells me ok and gives me a kiss. As soon as she is out of earshot, I turn to dad.

“What the fuck! What happened?” I ask, trying to keep my cool.

“Apparently a few people have been watching the kids so they could figure out their schedule. I think

they changed tactics because they knew that trying to kidnap the girls is life-threatening.” He explains.

“They were unsuccessful in their kidnapping attempt.” Uncle Liam states.

We all look at him. I let out a breath that I didn’t even realize I was holding. I look at Nate, and he

relaxes as well. Considering they tried to take this little sister.

“Who stopped them?” Nate asks.

“No one stopped them,” Dad says, smiling.

I don’t like where this is going. What the fuck is he smiling for?

“Apparently, we weren’t the only ones that have been having that feeling about something happening.

Kylani and Mykenzie have also had some suspicions. They have been having the animals following the

kids to school and home. Obviously staying in the shadows so as not to completely scare the shit out of

everyone. When the kids got off the bus this afternoon they were waiting to grab them. Well, as soon

as they went to grab them the animals came out of the shadows. So Phantom stood over the kids and

he stood up to his full height. The other animals formed a protective circle around them. Then the

girls….” Dad explains.

“What the girls went after those fuckers?” Kaleb growls out.

Oh shit, this is not going to go over well. I can see Kaleb on the verge of shifting. I let out a low growl

letting him know that this is not the time.

“What happened next?” I ask.

“The girls appeared out of nowhere. We watched as the girls took them on. I was actually scared. You

could actually see the fear on the guy's faces when they realized who the fuck they just pissed off. I am

gonna tell you those two are powerful and I am glad they are on our side.” Dad says.

“Where are they now?” Nate asks

“All those fuckers ran off fast and the girls went after them. I am not sure if the girls have come back

yet. We have been tightening down the security and no one got near the packhouse.” Uncle Liam said.

I look over to see Mykayla running to me. She is hysterically crying. Natalya looks panicked as well.

She crashes into my arms, and we all look at Natalya.

“The babies are gone,” Natalya says, starting to cry.

I see Brighton and Ashton running over. I can’t speak. How the fuck did they get into the house to get

the babies? I look over to Kaleb, and he drops to the ground. Uncle Liam squats down to him. We all

walk into the house and go to the rec room. I still don’t know what to do. Kaleb has his head in his

hands.

“How am I gonna tell Kylani and Mykenzie this.” He says quietly.

We are sitting there when Jade comes walking into the room, followed by a man. I have never seen the

man, but for some reason, he looks familiar. Jade lets out a growl and lays his big ass down like

everything is ok. I see Mykayla look up, still crying but smiling at the man.

“Hey princess, what’s wrong?” He asks with a worried look.

Mykayla tells him about everything that happened, and I can see anger flash in his eyes, and his fangs

pop out. He’s a fucking vampire. How the hell did none of us smell him?

“My baby.” She cries.

He smiles, and I am just about to shift and rip his throat out. All of a sudden, two women walk in and in

their arms are all the babies. What is the actual fuck is going on? I look at the women, and I notice one

resembles Mykayla and the other has the same eyes as Chris.

“Mom, Imyra what are the two of you doing here?” Chris asks as he walks into the room.

“We were just returning these gorgeous little ones to their parents. Aphrodite and I were enjoying lunch

when these three appeared out of nowhere with a note to watch them and keep them safe.” The

woman Imyra says.

She is holding Dominick, and I can see the look of love in her eyes. The other I quickly realize is Chris’s

mom, our moon goddess. We all lower our heads, except for Kaleb, who walks over and takes Jordyn

from her. Jordyn gives Kaleb a little giggle and seems perfectly happy. Actually, all three look fine and

are smiling and not hurt in any way.

“Sorry guys, this is Dimitri, his wife Imyra, and my mother,” Chris says calmly.

“You all can lift your heads. I may be your moon goddess, but I am also family now. So no more of this

formality shit.” She says.

The moon goddess just cussed. Well, I can see where Kylani and Mykenzie get it from. We all sit there

and talk. They explain what happened. Apparently, Kylani and Mykenzie have put safety in a place that

if something bad is happening that the babies go to their mother to Imyra. Well, I guess that is about as

safe a place as you can get.

“Where are the girls,” Nate asks.

“Oh, I can guarantee that they are hunting those bastards,” Dimitri says.

I can tell Kaleb is not ok with this, but we can’t stop them. Besides, they are more than capable of

taking care of themselves. I look at Kaleb, and I know he is worried and pissed. PLEASE, KYLANI,

COME HOME SOON. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN KEEP HIM FROM COMING AFTER YOU. I

think. I am hoping she hears me somehow. I know it doesn’t work the same way talking to them

through their minds like our mind links, but maybe I got through.
