Chapter 59 – Five years later LAURA
It’s been a few years, more precisely five, since Xander was born, and Liam was warned about what
Camille was doing. He had sent spies out and was regularly hearing news from them. But so far, it had
been pretty quiet with any actual plans to attack us and try to kidnap Zara. And Liam insists on always
having a few guards with us if we go to town. And also have warriors around the school area. Valerie’s
protection spell worked. It hid her true eye color, but it also suppressed her powers to a minimum, so
there was no more considerable change that others wouldn’t notice. Zach, Xander, and Kai were
growing fast, and both already showed that they had powerful genes. Xander is the most powerful one,
even though he is the youngest. Zack and Kai don’t mind, though, and love training with Xander when
Liam and Mack run and do different things to build up their stamina, of course without pushing them too
far, and he makes it fun for them. Liam says to more stamina they have, the easier it will be for them
when they are old enough to build their muscles and start fighting.
Zara was growing too, but it was also very obvious that she was not a warrior or a fighter. She loves
learning other things, like reading and helping to take care of Mack and Cora’s little daughter Caroline.
She was a cutie and looked a lot like her mom. She also loved spending time with Rosa playing piano,
and drawing. But the thing she loved the most was when Liam came into her room every night and
spent a little time treating her as the princess he said she was and read her a bedtime story. They all
had their own rooms now, and just a few months ago, Liam and the boys surprised her by making an
actual princess room, and she loved it. Her brothers are so protective of her and help her out if another
kid is being mean. Zara loves Kai and always runs after him when he is home, trying to get his
attention. Kai is four years older, but he still takes his time to be friendly and sweet to Zara. Even
though it must be annoying at times, he never refuses her or tells her to leave him alone. Rosa has the
Idea that they might be mates in the future. But it is too early to know that.
Me, I am happier than I have ever been in my life. Liam and I were so good together, and we love each
other. I had been in heat about once a year but had not gotten pregnant again. But that is okay. Liam
says if it happens, it happens. If not, he is just happy with the three kids we have. Once every week, we
let Shadow and Kali out so they can spend time together too. After
all, they are mates just as Liam and I are.
Today is the twins’ birthday, and they turn six years old. They had asked Liam if they could have a big
party, and of course, Liam said yes, not that he would ever say no. So today, the outside was
transformed into a giant playground for the children in the pack, with water slides, a carousel, and a
bouncy castle. And of course, all kinds of food were made too,
I look out the window in our bedroom, look out on it all, and shake my head with a giggle when Liam’s
strong arms surround me,
“What is it?” He asks, looking out, concerned as is trying to figure out if he forgot something,
“You are spoiling them,” I tell him and smile, and he chuckles.
“Of course, I am, They deserve it.” He says and turns me around so he can kiss me. I love when
he shows me how much he loves me.
The door opens, and three sets of tiny feet run toward us. Liam picks up the twins, and I pick up
Xander.
“It is so great, daddy, and we can’t wait to get outside.” Zara squealed excitedly
“Yes, dad, we can’t wait to get outside, thank you. Zach says. “You are welcome. You have been really
good, so you deserve it. Remember to be careful and look out for your sister, okay boys?” Liam asks
Zach and Xander.
“We always do, dad, no one teases her or is mean when we here.” Xander says proudly.
“I know, boys, and we are so proud of all of you.” He says, giving the boys a high five and Zara a kiss
on her cheek. We put them all back on the floor, and then we go outside. Many families with kids are
here to join us, and before we know it, everyone is having fun.
LIAM
The day was going exactly as I had planned, the twins had requested a party for the birthday, and as
the daddy I am, I made it happen. It made my heart melt when the squeals of happiness came from
Zara, and the joy and excitement were shining in their eyes.
Laura and I were sitting at a table with Mack and Cora together or other members of our pack, just
talking and relaxing, when a terrified scream tore through me. I was up instantly, and the same was
everyone else. I scanned the area when I heard Zach’s voice. “Leave my sister alone.” I saw him rush
toward the trees with Xander and Kai hot in his heels.
I was moving before I realized it, slower than I wanted to, so I didn’t accidentally hurt one of the other
children. Finally, I speed up with Mack and Laura closely behind me, coming past them.
There they were, all three boys clinging and trying to fight some man carrying a crying and screaming
Zara who was struggling to get free. The man was a rouge, judging from the smell and his appearance.
He kicks off Xander and Zack while struggling to get Kai off him. Kai being older meant he had more
training than the other boys. Both Zack and Xander got up and rushed back in their direction.
Just as I shifted and let Shadow take over, a mist surrounded them, and I heard small grunts, and all
three boys came flying through the air. Kai managed to land safely while Laura and Mack caught Zack
and Xander. And then everything cleared, the mist disappeared, but the
rouge and Zara were gone with it, Shadow ran through the trees, scanned, sniffed, and searched
everywhere, but they were nowhere to be seen.
I linked a warrior and told him to go pick up Valerie. Maybe she could help us, and I had warriors
searching for any trail, anything at all. I got out of the forest after shifting back. Finding Laura and our Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
boys crying in her arms. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but more heartbreaking was how all three
boys kept saying sorry. I felt a mindlink full of disgust and distraught reach through to me and realized it
was the warrior I had sent to get Valerie from her cabin in our forest,
‘Your highness.
‘What is it?’ I asked, cutting to the point. I didn’t have time to deal with shit like formal greetings.
‘The Witch, Miss Valerie. She is dead. Killed.’ I cursed loudly and cut off the link.
“Mack, go to Valerie. Someone has killed her. See what you can find, and then make sure she is giving
the respect she deserves.” I order, and with a bow, he is gone. Kai stands tall but with sad eyes. I go to
him and bring him to Laura and the boys. Zack looks up, tears running.
“Sorry, dad, we tried. We tried so badly.” His small voice broke. “Listen, all three of you. This is not your
fault. And I know you did everything you could. And that makes me proud of you. I will find Zara, okay?
I will bring her home to us. I promise.” We stand up, and I wrap my arms around Laura. “I am sorry,
baby. I promise I will get her back to us even if it is the last I ever do. I will get her back to you.” I
promise, she nods, tears running. I bring them all home, including Cora and mom. We let all three boys
snuggle up in the living room, all three women being there with them.
I leave the house but not before getting ten warriors to guard them. Oh, I wish Bryan was still here. But
his mate’s rejection had been harder on him than he let out, and one day he had just disappeared, but
he never broke the packlink. And that’s the only reason we knew he was still alive, and he never let a
mindlink go through or answered them. ‘Bryan, if you hear this, we need you. Zara has been
kidnapped.’ I try to reach him but feel no reply.
I look up to the moon.
“Please, Moon-goddess let her be okay, keep her safe, please, help me find her and bring her home,” I
whisper before shifting to let Shadow go on yet another search for clues, anything. And we will not stop
until she is back home safely tugged into our arms again.
Hello, this is the end of the story about how Laura and Liam found each other and formed a life
together,
I know you will probably be thinking, What! What about little Zara and what will happen to her, her
future, and her powers. Don’t worry. I will be writing her story coming up next. As soon as possible. I
think that deserves a story on its own, right?
