Broken Dreams and Wild Hearts

Chapter 3-Two Lonely Hearts

Celestia would never forget that night; her life forever changed two years ago. It was a spring night; the moon was at its fullest, it was bright, and it looked enormous in the dark sky. A gentle breeze was blowing through the valley, it was peaceful/

Rollin, the usual, calm, collected, and clear-thinking pack leader of the Shadow Talons, called her in total panic.  His mate Sylvie was in labor, Celestia, being one of the realm's midwives, was excited because she is going to be able to assist in the delivery of her best friend’s baby.  Two hours later, the three laughed and cried as Tala Eden entered the world, taking her first breath. Celestia felt some heartbreak, that she was not having her own child, at this same moment, giving Tala her own friend.

Unaware, at the exact moment, Jupiter, and Rikki, or as they are now known as Dedria and Cameron, had just experienced the same event less than a mile away. There were no joyful tears or laughter. Just a tiny, unwanted, unloved baby struggling to thrive that was not given a name until three hours later. If not for Shyleigh and Yaritza's presence at birth, Quinn would not exist today.

Despite no blood connection, Quinn and Tala developed a strong bond, resembling twins. They were known as the Moon Twins. Like their mothers, Moon Twins are babies born on the night of a full moon, at the exact second, within a mile of each other. Sylvie and Celestia were born in the same house.  Celestia is considered Quinn’s mother for all intents and purposes despite not giving birth to her.  Due to this bond, they had a telepathic connection; they were able to communicate without words and fostered a strong friendship that supported each other through both joyous and challenging moments, just like their mothers.

It was a beautiful, warm fall morning, the sky was a beautiful blue, full of the most beautiful white clouds.  the sun shining on the clover-filled south meadow near the hidden glen. Quinn and Tala ran and played, their laughter echoing throughout Alcilca. The two young girls were carefree. Rollin and Sylvie, Tala’s parents, watched them as they sipped their coffee. Finn and Allette slowly approached the other couple, smiling as they watched the girls play.

Allette is Rikki’s sister; he is now known as Cameron. Finn and Allette are watchers; their main job is to watch over the precious one, setting off the warning system and getting her to safety when the danger has come close enough to threaten her.

The moment's tranquility was shattered by piercing screams of fear, and pain filled the air.  Quinn suddenly froze in place, her gaze distant and unresponsive, staring into space, oblivious to the events around her.

Rollin and Sylvie immediately emitted loud growls, alerting others that danger is near the girls. At the same time, Finn and Allette soared high up into the sky, their wings illuminating the area around them as they called for help, warning the girls of the impending danger.

Quinn is not moving at the wolves' warning growl or the fairies' flashing lights, unaware of the commotion around her. She is in a trance; her small frame sways, her eyes are closed, and she sees the familiar figure of a man who had visited her in her dreams before. He wrapped his arms around her, rocking her gently and offering comfort.

 She felt his fear and pain. It was because of her. Overwhelmed by the emotions that flooded her senses, Quinn collapsed onto the soft grass, her breathing ragged and laboring.

Kellen left the building, forgetting where he was going; the world around him ceased to exist, and his footsteps faltered, his vision focusing on nothing. The little girl's painful screams filled his ears, and her thoughts filled his head. He heard a deep growl, and he could see lights flashing. He felt her worry for him, and his body started swaying in time with her concern. He closed his eyes, knowing that if his brothers saw him or knew what he was doing, they would think he was crazy.

  “Sweetheart, tell me where you are! I need to know you are safe! I can sense that you’re in danger. I’m fine…” He thought, hoping she could hear him. The sounds of her painful screams echoed once again through his head; he saw her collapsing in a meadow, becoming unresponsive. Quinn, her name is Quinn; she felt his fear and pain; he felt her quilt.

He continued his journey; he couldn't let his brothers' judgment dictate his actions; he had a mission to fulfill, and he couldn't afford to let anyone, or anything, distract him. With renewed determination, he set off, determined to find his way, and bring the little girl the help she desperately needed. With his senses returned, the buzzing world and the business around him returned; he did not focus before he moved.  He returned to his senses, to the buzzing of the world around him; he did not look before he moved. Slamming into what he could describe as a soft summer day, he heard a faint cry of pain and distress. He felt it to his very soul; looking down, he stared into the eyes of summer grass. Losing his balance, his eyes widen in surprise; he tightens his hold as they fall to the ground, screams filling his ears. The screams sound familiar.

Chapter 5 Are you With Me

Celestia was engulfed by a feeling of panic and fear as she sat in her car. These feelings were overwhelming, and she could feel her them intensify with every passing second. She could feel her heart beating fast and her breaths coming in short gasps. It was as if time had stood still, the world holding its breath; images of her daughter's innocent face flashed before Celestia's eyes Now tainted with worry and uncertainty, the mere thought of Quinn in pain sent a surge of adrenaline through her veins, urging her to take immediate action. She had to get to Quinn.

Her hand trembled as she attempted to start her car, Celestia knew that time was of the essence. She had to stay calm and focused to help her daughter, she closed her eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and tried to steady her trembling hands. the ringing of her phone piercing he

Celestia already knew it was Sylvie calling her; her hands were shaking as she picked up the phone and heard Sylvie's urgent and desperate voice, sending shivers down Celestia's spine.

“I know…it’s Quinn…I’m on my way. Take her to the glen, find the healers, and get Shyleigh.” Celestia knew she had to get herself together to help her baby.

The M.C. filed into the great room, gathering around the table, the newer members either taking seats along the walls or standing. The laughter and jovial mood started to settle down, and then the men’s moods became serious. Adeden Kiem made his way into the grand room,

The room fell silent as all eyes turned to Adeden; took his place at the head of the table and took the gavel, slamming it down to gain attention.  The men were anxious, excited, and, most of all they were attentive, each one waiting for the Primal Phantom’s president to speak. Adeden's eyes scanned the faces, of the men in the room; it was clear that something important was about to be discussed, something that would significantly impact each of the men's lives.

The men were gathered in a dimly lit room, shrouded in an air of secrecy, and were anxious, excited, and curious. Their faces were masked with a look of stern determination. The silence was broken by the voice of one man, who spoke in a low and measured tone, causing the others to lean in closer, eager to hear what he had to say.

"Ice Castles need to disappear," he said firmly. "Not only are they selling drugs, but they are cooking them too." Taking in their expressions, body language, he was gauging their reaction.

There was a murmur of agreement among the group, but one new member, Kit, spoke up. "But being a brothel is fine?" he asked incredulously.

Drake McAllister, the Sergeant of Arms, stood up, his eyes blazing with anger. He shot Kit a withering glare and sighed exaggeratedly before sitting back down heavily in his chair. "We have always been bothered by Dedria," he said, referring to the brothel owner. "She has always been... something of a pain. Allowing her to have a brothel in our area meant we could keep an eye on her, and she was not causing any problems for us. She's done some messed up things, but what she is doing now goes beyond..."

Drake was interrupted by a clearing of throats, a subtle reminder that he was revealing too much information about the group's activities. He stopped talking abruptly.

Kellen, stood up and looked at Kit sternly. "All you need to know is when one of us says jump, you need to ask how high," he said firmly, leaving no room for further discussion.

Quinn’s mysterious episode almost put an end to Celestia. The incident appeared to come out of nowhere and was over as suddenly as it began. While Quinn appeared outwardly unaffected by the event, Celestia was left with a lingering sense of unease. Quinn began talking about a man named Kellen, whom she described as a kind and friendly person. According to Quinn, Kellen was actively searching for her and was on his way to meet her. She assured everyone that Kellen was a good guy and urged them not to worry.

As the night grew darker, Celestia sat in her cozy living room, stirring her tea with a trembling hand. The events of the day had left her feeling uneasy and on edge. The encounter with the mysterious stranger earlier in the day had made her even more anxious. The fact that the stranger knew her daughter's name and might possibly be the protector of Quinn was starting to seem more plausible. Shyleigh had always spoken of the protector with an air of mystery. And tonight, she revealed that the protector would ride an iron horse. The thought of it all made Celestia's mind race with questions and uncertainty

Ch 4-Lying, Cheating, Dealing, and  Stay the F* Away from My Daughter

Dedria stared at the stone wall, gazing at the boundary lines marked by the posts from the survey that marked her property. She sighed deeply, feeling the anger and frustration bubbling inside her. She couldn't help but feel angry by the numerous mistakes made by the contractors, architects, lawyers, land developers, and real estate agents involved in the project. Despite all the errors, she was the only one getting screwed over; She glanced at the stone wall, realizing it would have to come down and be brought inward by one hundred feet.  Dedria's frustration grew even more when she thought about the consequences of moving the stone wall. It was a clear example of how one person's negligence and incompetence could have far-reaching implications for others.

As she approached the boundary lines, she couldn’t help but smile; she had owned it for six years without any disputes.  She was eager to expand Ice Castles and had ordered a property assessment to enable her to proceed. Dedria considered the possibility of building on the other side of the property line, regardless of the findings of the assessment.  She felt excitement and anticipation; it was just wooded, and the only ones who knew the truth were her and her team. Nobody complained that she had breached their property and had to get off it. Dedria quickly pulled out flags, walked towards the gate, and admired the breathtaking view of the surrounding woods.

She couldn't help but envision the magnificent Ice Castles, the cabins she wanted to build for the new business to introduce the product she and the boys had developed. Dedria had always been a dreamer; this project was her most significant. She knew the challenges ahead but was ready to face them head-on. The property assessment would provide valuable information, but Dedria was confident in her team's ability to overcome any possible obstacles.

"Knock down the wall and start work on the new cabins immediately!" Dedria instructed her team, her smile reflecting her eagerness to see the project come to life. She didn't consider the consequences that might arise from her impulsive decision. Dedria stared at the stone wall, gazing at the boundary lines.

Celestia was walking down the street when she collided with a solid mass moving at a high rate of speed. She felt the sensation of a winter day, and her breath was momentarily stolen from her. She let out a scream of terror and surprise as she felt her body spiral downward. A feeling of warmth and comfort spread over her as his arms wrapped around her, and they both started to fall. She looked into his silver eyes; this was the handsome, dark-haired stranger she had seen in a vision once before. She could feel his fears, worries, and concerns the minute they made skin contact; it was overwhelming.

As they slowly fell, she could sense his vulnerability and the weight of his past. It appeared that an invisible thread that had brought them together, in this moment, had entwined their souls. The wind whipped against their faces, the rush of adrenaline coursing through their veins, and yet, amidst the chaos, there was an undeniable sense of peace. She was aware deep down that this encounter wasn't just a coincidence but a meeting that fate had planned.

“Quinn?” The man's voice shook as he called out her daughter's name, causing Celestia's heart to race with fear and worry. She shoved him away with a fierce glare, feeling anger and frustration. She knew a protector was coming for Quinn and her. Celestia was sure it was not this guy; she was sure she would have a feeling when her daughter’s protector showed up. Who was he, and what did he want?

As Celestia confronted the man, her mind raced with questions. Who was he, and what did he want with her daughter? She couldn't shake the feeling that he was somehow connected to the protection she had sensed was coming. However, his presence also filled her with unease and skepticism. Celestia needed answers, and she was determined to get them.

She stood tall; her gaze steady as she assessed the man before her. His features were shrouded in mystery, and his eyes were piercing and intense. Celestia could sense a power emanating from him, a familiar and foreign force. As she stepped closer, her heart pounded in her chest, a mix of fear and determination fueling her every move.

“Stay the fuck away from my daughter!”

Celestia stood up, her mind racing with a million thoughts, as she ran down the street towards her car. She needed to talk to Shyleigh to get some answers and figure out what was happening.

Kellen watched her runaway from him; he smiled at her words. He wanted to go after her, but his training as a soldier kept him from chasing her down; he knew it would only spook her more. She is connected to Quinn; he needs to find this little girl. He closed his eyes, trying to find the connection again, but he found nothing.

Disappointed, Kellen opened his eyes and let out a frustrated sigh. His bond with the little girl vanished, leaving him unsettled and unsure of his next move. Knowing that she held the key to learning Quinn's whereabouts increased his desire to find her. As he stood there, lost in thought, a sudden realization struck him—perhaps he needed to approach this situation from a different angle.

He closed his eyes, visualizing the little girl and the meadow.  

 “Come on, Quinn, my name is Kellen. Are you safe?” Kellen called out gently, using his mind. He hoped to receive some reassurance that she was safe and unharmed. He could only hear silence. With every fiber of his being, he wished for her safety and vowed to protect her from whatever danger she might face.

He jumped when a hand slapped him on the back and heard a hardy laugh fill his ears. “I see women are still falling at your feet!” His heart raced as he turned to face Aden, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

"Well, you know how it is," he replied, trying to conceal his embarrassment. "Some things never change." Kellen rolled his eyes, shaking his head.

"Yep, and they take off running in the other direction!” Drake, the SGT. of Arms, laughed.

Kellen chuckled, playfully punching Drake on the shoulder. "Oh, come on now, Drake. You know you're just jealous." Aden joined in on the laughter, slapping Kellen on the back again.

"Jealousy is an understatement. You've always had that charm, my friend." Kellen smirked, knowing his friends were teasing him but secretly enjoying the attention. As they continued to joke and laugh, Kellen couldn't help but feel grateful for the camaraderie he had found within this tight-knit group.

.

Kellen loved these moments with his friends, where they could let loose and banter with one another. The teasing and laughter brought a sense of belonging, reminding him of the strong bond they had formed over the years. As they rode towards the clubhouse, Kellen couldn't help but reflect on how lucky he was to have found such loyal companions who always had his back in good times and when facing challenges.

The three rode off towards the clubhouse, needing their weekly meeting to discuss issues with a local business. There was a pressing matter of a local brothel owner intruding on land that was not theirs and possibly selling drugs in Hwen. They needed to discuss a plan to convince the owners of Ice Castles not to sell drugs and to respect the boundaries of their community. Kellen had always admired his friends' dedication to justice and unwavering determination to protect their town. As they approached the clubhouse, Kellen's mind began to race with ideas and strategies, eager to contribute to the cause. He knew their collective strength and unity would be crucial in dealing with such a delicate situation. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation inside the dimly lit room adorned with posters and maps. The familiar scent of coffee and the sound of hushed whispers added to the sense of urgency in the air. Kellen took a deep breath, ready to share his insights and play his part in preserving the harmony of Hwen.

Chapter 2 Pain and Suffering

Celestia cradled Quinn in her arms, her fingers tracing the delicate curves of the baby's face. She felt immense love for the little girl, now her daughter, as she gazed into her big, innocent eyes. Quinn's features were a perfect blend of Celestia and her biological mother when they were babies. As Celestia gently rocked her daughter, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness wash over her. She wiped away a tear, remembering her sister Jupiter and the close relationship they once shared. The memory of their bond was bittersweet, and Celestia felt the loss deeply.

As Celestia held Quinn in her arms, she found herself lost in thought, wondering what the future held for her and her daughter. She looked into Quinn's deep violet eyes and felt a deep sense of love and protectiveness. She knew that she would do anything to keep this little girl safe, even if it meant putting her own life at risk.

Celestia often contemplated the choices made by Jupiter, wondering what chain of events led Jupiter to leave everything she once loved and held dear, leaving it behind, turning her back on her old life, and embarking on a new journey with Camron.  There was no going back; all decisions were final. Celestia would never forget that night. Jupiter ceased to exist after that night, going by the name Dedria, from that night forward. Once she walked out that door, she was no longer welcome in Alcilca.

Tears traced a path along her cheeks, as Celestia mourned all that she had lost. Closing her eyes, she envisioned a dark-haired man on a Harley; his eyes were silver, and she could see his caring soul. He was on the side of the road; he had just been feeling free and peaceful. A feeling that had been missing from his life for a while.  He was in pain; she could see that he was with him; his friend was concerned that the man was in great pain. Quinn started to scream and cry; it was a sound that Celestia had not heard her daughter make before; she attempted to comfort the baby.

Quinn finally quietens down, falling back to sleep, a troubled expression on the baby’s face.  Celestia lays her down on the bed. Her thoughts again drifted back to the life she once loved, that life slowly slipping away; her heart felt like it was breaking, shattering into a thousand pieces. The pain in her chest was so intense that she found it hard to breathe; the pain was unbearable.

Celestia smiled; she closed his eyes, inhaling and exhaling deeply, and gradually, the sharp pain that had been coursing through her chest ebbed away. As darkness took over, and she slid to the floor, a vivid vision played of the handsome stranger.  

She was tired; she was soaked from the rain, her body shivering from the cold and the fear. Celestia didn’t know where Quinn was, her baby had been missing for twenty-four hours. The Shadow Talons, The Amethyst Sect, had been searching for her. A rival wolf pack, The Craven Pack had taken her.

The stranger came out of the north woods carrying Quinn, a group of men behind him. They were all covered in mud. The stranger looked at Quinn and Celestia, with love, care, tenderness, and relief. Celestia could feel the stranger’s protectiveness; it was overwhelming, and the group of men with him also protruded protectiveness.

“We, the brothers of The Primal Phantoms, pledge to protect the future Queen and her kingdom! We pledge our love; we pledge to fight the enemies of the Amethyst Sect of Faries and the Shadow Talons pack. We will fight for and with the Shadow Talons pack.”

Quinn and Tala were running through the clover fields; the sun was shining, and there was a slight breeze. The girls are giggling, chasing Aisha, a guarding fairy. Tala suddenly stops, letting out a little growl; it causes Quinn to stop. Rollin and Sylvie let out a full threatening growl, and Quinn and Tala understand a threat.

. The ground started to rumble, and Quinn looked up to see the sky filled with other fairies' lights, warning her that she was in danger.

. "Run!" echoed a deep male voice in her head, Quinn stood up and started running as fast as her little legs could. She dragged Tala with her, but her friend had transformed into her wolf form.

"Go, Tala, get to Unca Ro and Aunt Sylv. I will be fine," Quinn watched her friend pause before leaving her side to run to her parents.  Quinn was trying to be brave; she knew she needed to find a safe place until her mom, Aunt Shyleigh, and Yaritza could find her or any of her aunts and uncles.

She spotted a small crevice between two rocks; she ran towards them and felt teeth and claws tearing into her skin. She cried in pain as the strange wolf dragged her from all that was familiar to her.

Suddenly, she felt the teeth and claws of an attacker tearing into her skin, and she cried out in pain. Kellen sat up in bed, screaming and sweating as he felt the pain and fear experienced by the little girl. He knew he had to find out if she had survived and gather more information about what had happened. Kellen couldn't sleep for the rest of the night, consumed by worry for the little girl.

"Dude, you look terrible!" Sage laughed at Kellen. “I mean, it’s understandable, given you were screaming all night, and then I saw two hot women leaving your room early this morning. Way to go…”

“What the fuck are you talking about? I had nightmares last night; I was alone!”

“Don’t be embarrassed; you banged two women at once, after how many years, and they made you scream…. congrats, brother!”

“I haven’t been with anyone for five years; I was screaming last night because of nightmares. They were terrible, dude! Two chicks leaving my room, maybe you should stop drinking the cheap shit!”

"Dude, five years, you need to get laid! You got two at once…congrats! I was not drinking last night, and if I were, it wouldn’t be the cheap shit.”

Sage slapped Kellen on the back, pushing him towards the kitchen.

“Start the coffee. I’ll fix breakfast, and you tell me about that nightmare, and I will tell you about those two hot women leaving your room.”

XXX

Shyleigh and Yaritza were hidden in the shadows, keeping a watchful eye on Kellen and Sage. From their vantage point, they could see that Quinn, the young girl they had sworn to protect, was safe and secure in the care of the Shadow Talons pack and the powerful Amethyst Fairy Sect.

Shyleigh broke the silence, whispering, "He is the protector," as she pointed to Kellen's sleeping form. "The one who will ensure Quinn's safety until she is ready to lead us."

Yaritza's face revealed her concern as she asked, "Will she be leaving us soon?"

Shyleigh hesitated for a moment before answering softly, "Next year, he will find her." Her words hung in the air, conveying both a sense of foreboding and a glimmer of hope for the future.

Broken Dreams and Wild Hearts

Chapter 1 Family Is More Than Blood.

Dr. Matthews grimly entered the clinic, his heart heavy with concern. He scanned the area, looking for his two nurses, Shyleigh and Yaritza. His mind was preoccupied with the fate of the baby, and he knew that it had passed away. He needed answers, and he needed them fast. What had happened to the evidence? He suspected that Dedria and Camron were involved in something nefarious, and he regretted ever getting involved.

As the memories flooded back, Dr. Matthews felt a pang of regret in his heart. Dedria and Camron had always been terrible people, devoid of any scruples. They had met in the pre-med program at Hwen University. Dr. Matthews couldn't shake the feeling that they had only joined to take advantage of the chemistry department and recruit more chemists. Despite their lack of interest in pursuing medical careers, they were exceptional at chemistry and research.

After graduating, Dedria and Camron married and opened their escort service, Ice Castles, an escort business with benefits. Edward wondered why the two even went to pre-med at the university until he was invited to a party at Ice Castles one night.

It is how he ended up working for Dedria and Camron.

"Shayleigh, what happened to the baby yesterday?" He was not looking at his nurses; he missed the look they gave each other.

"I held that sweet child and gave her comfort until she took her last breath, then I buried her deep in the woods."

"Where?" Edward moved until he was in her face, staring at her.

Yaritza pushed between them; she did not like what she was feeling from the doctor. Yaritza felt the need to protect Shyleigh.

"I was with her; she took care of the baby." They both watched as Edward walked away, letting their breaths out. Knowing it was unsafe to speak about the situation, they stared at each other.

"She is safe. Celestia is taking care of Quinn. Rollin and Sylvie are guarding, the house." 

"Do we know when her guardian will arrive?"

"He will arrive on an iron horse when there is chaos in the house and when we have lost hope."

Dedria stood in the laboratory, her eyes fixed on the sample she had just taken from the newest product she, Camron, Troy, and Kit, had been tirelessly working on for years. The lab was silent except for the low hum of the equipment that surrounded them. She couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation as she carefully analyzed the sample. The product was perfect - it had taken countless attempts and collaborations with numerous chemists, but they had finally done it.

As Dedria stood in the quiet room, she felt a heavy weight in her chest. Tears escaped her eyes and trickled down her cheeks. She couldn't help but reflect on all her sacrifices to reach this point in her life. Their choices may have caused them to lose their families, but they gained each other and a bond that has been tested and proven to be unbreakable. Together, they have faced every obstacle and emerged stronger, proving that true love and support can conquer all. Cameron has been her unwavering support system from day one, the one person she could rely on when everyone else turned their back. Cameron's words of encouragement and steady presence have been a constant source of inspiration and hope.

Dedria and Cam had established Ice Castles, a thriving establishment that provides companions; their establishment is just on the town line of Hwen. It provided them with a lifestyle, that paid for their bills and all the nice things they wanted. It was also a cover for them to create their ideal mixture of products and the potential to distribute.

Hey, Cam! Kit! Troy! Come try this, shit; it’s fantastic!  She reclined in her seat and was she looking forward to their reactions. Kit and Troy, after spending countless hours together, she had grown to consider Troy and Kit as part of her family, they were like brothers.

Memories of his ex-wife Claudia still plagued him from time to time, and riding his bike was the only thing that allowed him to escape. As Kellen glided on his bike, he felt that he was finally free; it was the only thing that felt right, his best friend Sage joining him on a long ride scenic route, the sun shining, the cool breeze brushing against his face, sending a shiver down his spine. His senses came alive, and he felt a sense of liberation that he hadn't felt in a while; his bike had become his safe haven.

 Kellen felt a sudden pain in his chest. The pain was so intense that he had to stop and gasp for air, his heart pounding with fear and discomfort. His mind raced with questions and concerns; Sage looked at him with worry. Sage's concerned expression and tone conveyed his genuine interest as he asked. "Ya, okay brother?"

Kellen's voice trembled as he spoke, "It's like my heart is breaking, not like when Claudia left me. This time, it feels different, and the pain is intense.  It's as if my heart is being crushed into tiny pieces, turning to dust that scatters in the wind."

Sage argued with Kellen about the need for medical attention, due to the pain Kellan is in. Kellen just needed a moment to slow down and catch his breath. He realized that it had been a while since he last rode his bike and needed to regain his composure before taking any further action. He closed his eyes, inhaling and exhaling deeply, and gradually the sharp pain that had been coursing through his body started to ease away.

Out of nowhere, a vivid vision flashed before Kellen's mind's eye. It was a baby, so pure and delicate, swaddled in a blanket. The sight of her filled Kellen with an overwhelming rush of love and tenderness. But as the vision continued, a dark shadow of fear and dread crept into his heart. It was as if the baby was in danger, and Kellen felt an urgent need to protect her. He knew that he had to act fast and find her before it was too late.

Dedria screamed and gave a final push; she felt this incredible force leave her body, and for a second, she felt light and was floating. The world was tranquil; she felt free; she had not felt this way since childhood. Feelings of liberation, and she could sense the gentle caress of wings on her skin. Lights illuminated her form.

"Return home; you have been pardoned. Jupiter.” She recognized the voice of the queen. "Return to your destiny; just leave this life."

She swatted at the wings and ripped herself away from the warmth of the lights and the comfort of the wings.

 “I deny the jewels of my past and choose this life of my present; I will never return to where I came from!”

She felt her body falling through space, landing on the clinic bed. Opening her eyes, she stared into the eyes of Shyleigh and Yaritza. There was something familiar and strange about Dr. Edward Matthw’s nurses, but she could not put her fingers on it.  

She felt her body slide through space and time, landing on the bed in the clinic. Opening her eyes, she was staring into the emerald, green eyes of Shyleigh and the clear eyes of Yaritza. Dedria could not place it, but she had always had the feeling she knew these women; there was an air of familiarity and strangeness about them.  

TRIGGER WARNING*TRIGGER WARNING*

The weak and struggling cry came from the bassinet; Dedria closed her eyes, attempting to ignore the sound. She was exhausted; she had been in labor for two days, and she was glad it was finally over. It irked her that it even got this far; her body betrayed her.

Dedria had no clue as to how it had happened; she had always been routine about taking her birth control. She did not realize she was pregnant until it was too late, and no ethical doctor would perform an abortion.

'What's its name?" Dedria glared at her husband. She wondered if, somehow, he had sabotaged her birth control. He had been looking dopey, eyeing the pregnant nurse, Shyleigh, and touching her stomach. Maling comments about wanting a baby to hold, of his own. She told him that she needed to put that thought out of his head; because she knew that he enjoyed their lifestyle of freedom. A child would ruin it all.

Glancing at the bassinet, she had no feelings for the creature lying there. It was just nothing to her.

"Doc said it won't live through the night. It's only 3 pounds. I told him to hurry the process along. “Camron touched his wife’s arm to comfort her, but she shrugged it off. He frowned as the nurse, as she pushed the baby out of the room.

Deidra glared at Camron as the doctor walked in. "Fix this shit, so I don't have another one. Tie my tubes, take my stuff out."

The doctor looked at her, frowning. "That poor innocent soul is living the shortest, most painful life because of your drug use. I should report you."

Camron shoved the doctor against the wall. "THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE STILL PRACTICING IS BECAUSE OF US! REMEMBER THE PAIN YOUR DRUG CAUSED! "

Edward rushed towards the door. “I will prepare for your hysterectomy, Dedria. Are you sure about this?”

“I do not want to have children!” She screamed! Edward rushed from the room to grab one of his nurses and prepare for the procedure.

With a groan, Deidra began to rise from her bed. Camron gave her a little pack and gently pulled her back into bed. " This new recipe was finished this morning by Pete and Stan. This would be an excellent moment to give it a try. Take these. "Just relax; I'll handle everything."

TRIGGER WARNING END

There is a wooded glen through the garden gate, down a path, and through the woods, beyond the stone walls of Ice Castles. It was not visible to the human eye, only the pure of heart, and one with clear eyes could find the glen.

Tonight, music and light shone between the branches. It is believed that the glen has an ethereal aura, where the fairies chant ancient incantations and invoke the spirits of the forest for guidance and protection. The Amethyst Fairy Sect gathered in this secret sanctuary to perform their sacred rituals and connect with the mystical energies of nature; the gathering was vibrant, with various fairy sects and wolf packs coming together. Among the attendees were the Shadow Pack, a group known for their exceptional hunting skills.

Shyleigh walked into the glen with the newborn baby cradled in her arms. She had carefully wrapped the baby in soft linens to keep the infant warm. Yaritza followed closely behind, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger. As they made their way through the gathering, the air was filled with excitement, anticipation, anxiety, and sadness. The crowd”s emotions were palpable.

The fairies fluttered their delicate wings, their vibrant colors illuminating the glen. The wolves stood tall and proud with their sleek fur and piercing eyes. Shyleigh's heart swelled with pride as she felt the energy of unity and acceptance in the air. Yaritza's protective instincts kicked in as she noticed a few curious glances toward the baby, but she knew this gathering was a haven for all beings. The glen has a nest of ferns, flowers, and herbs like lavender and mint.

Shyleigh laid the baby gently in the nest as the baby started to weakly coo; whispers of wings raised the baby from the nest, and specks of light flew around; light enveloped the baby’s body, lifting the body from the nest. The small body grew, and the weak cooing sound became stronger.  The warm, glowing light that extinguished the whispers of love, joy, and kisses was gone. The baby was gently placed back in the nest, now radiating with newfound life and strength.

Shyleigh gathered the baby in her arms, smiling down at the baby. Listening to the strong cue coming from her. The glen lit up from the fairy's joy, and the wolves howled excitedly.

“Celestia Eden, please come forward.” A small fairy came forward and kneeled in front of Shyleigh.

“I pledge my alliance to you, my queen; my life is to the Amethyst Sect. I live my life to you and my sisters and brothers of this sect and the Shadow pact.”

“Stand my child.” Shyleigh places a hand on her shoulder. “Meet your niece and future Queen.” She whispered.

Celestia looked at Shyleigh and the baby in her Queen’s arms. The tears fell down her face as the baby was placed in the young fairy's arms. The baby looked like her older sister; she missed Jupiter.

“This is Quinn Rhian; someday she will lead us into freedom and be our queen. Celestia is her aunt, and she will be her mom and caregiver until her protector can provide. This protector will not forsake us; he will be her father.”

Kellen Taggert arrived home, knowing that Alliena and his daughter Elliot would not be waiting for him.  His wife had filed for divorce, sold everything they owned, and disappeared with their ten-year-old daughter, leaving him with nothing but the clothes on his back, the clothes he had with him, and whatever belongings he had with him.  

The situation overwhelmed Kellen, leaving him feeling lost, confused, and completely alone. Standing on the sidewalk, he was trying to figure out who to call to pick him up. His mind raced with questions, searching for answers. He heard motorcycles in the distance and grinned; at least he still had his bike and brothers.

Sage recommended that Kellen leave his bike at the shop when he was deployed two years ago. Sage assured Kellen that he would take care of the bike's maintenance while he was away so that when he returned home, the bike would be in good condition. It was the best decision Kellen had ever made, as he still had his beloved bike upon his return. When Kellen's brothers approached him, they looked at him with love and concern, and he couldn't help but smile a sad, tired smile. Although he had lost everything, he knew he could rely on his brothers to be there for him. They were his family and would support him in rebuilding his life.

He experienced a sense of liberation. The lights illuminated his form and made him feel a sense of love and warmth; the soft caress of wings on his skin, again, was a sense of love and warmth; it was a feeling that he had never felt before, not even with Alliena. He felt it when Elliot, his daughter, hugged him; it was so pure.

Kellen was feeling overwhelmed, but it was a good kind of overwhelming. After everything he had been through in the past year, he really needed this moment to feel a sense of relief and happiness. These were the kind of feelings that he had never experienced before, and he knew he could never share them with anyone else because they might think he was strange or weird. He felt a sense of tranquility, and it made him feel free—something that he hadn't felt since ever, not even as a child.

As he drifted off to sleep, a beautiful little girl was on his lap, she laid her hand on his shoulder a beautiful woman, laid her hand on his face, and smiled.

Preface

Dedria lay in bed, the exhaustion overtaking her; she laid back, sighing, glad it was over. She had been careless, had forgotten her birth control, and had gotten pregnant.  She did not realize she was pregnant until it was too late, and no ethical doctor would perform an abortion.

Even the unethical Dr.  Edward Matthews, her physician, the physician who kept the ladies at the Dangerous Curves, the brothel she and her husband owned, would perform an abortion.

'What's its name?" Dedria glared at her husband. Glancing at the bassinet, she had no feelings for the creature lying there.

"Doc said it won't live through the night...it's only 3 pounds. I told him to hurry the process along?" Camron frowned as the nurse pushed her out of the room.

Deidra glared at Camron as the doctor walked in. "Fix this shit, so I don't have another one. Tie my tubes, take my shit out... "

The doctor looked at her, frowning. "That poor innocent soul is gone because of your drug use. I should report you."

Camron shoved the doctor against the wall. "THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE STILL PRACTICING IS BECAUSE OF US! YOUR DRUG USE KILLED A WHOLE FAMILY. "

Dr. Matthews rushed out towards the door. “I will prepare for your hysterectomy, Dedria. Are you sure about this?”

“I do not want to have children!” She screamed! Dr. Matthews rushed from the room, to grab his nurse and prepare for the procedure.

 Deidra started to get out of bed. Camron handed her a small pack. 'Take these. Relax, I'll take care of everything. "

Behind Dangerous Curves, beyond the stone wall, there was a thick wood glen. Shining through the branches of the trees were bright lights and celestial music could be heard. In the center was a nest of ferns, flowers, and herbs of lavender and mint.

The nurse carried the sweet baby girl towards the glen; her weak cries could be heard. The nurse hummed a lullaby to the baby, holding the baby close to her. Once inside the safety of the glen, she laid the baby into the nest. The baby started to coo, and whispers of light flew around the baby.

 Whispers and kisses of light enveloped the baby’s body, lifting the body from the nest. The small body grew, and the weak cooing sound became stronger.  The warm glowing light extinguished the whispers of love, joy, and kisses, were gone. The baby was gently placed back in the nest.

The nurse stepped forward, and the residents of the glen bowed. She shall be called Quinn Rion; for she shall lead us one day.

Kellen Taggert returned home to find himself a broken man. His wife had divorced him, sold all of their possessions, and vanished without a trace with their ten-year-old daughter. Leaving him with nothing but the clothes on his back. The weight of the situation left him feeling lost, confused, and alone.

As he stepped off the plane, he felt a sense of overwhelming sadness and exhaustion.  He had no idea what he was going to do.  He soon heard motorcycles in the distance, and a small glimmer of hope flickered in his heart. He looked up and saw his brothers, who had come to welcome him home.

Their faces were filled with love and concern as they approached him, and Kellen couldn't help but smile a sad, tired smile. Although he had lost everything, he knew he could count on his brothers to be there. They were his family, and they would help him rebuild his life.

I looked up at Tig he had tears in his eyes. His mouth was moving; I couldn't make out what he was saying. I was slipping away, and Filip had lift me.

"Tell Greer and Filip..."

Chibs found Jax he felt his heart racing. He grabbed on to Jax's arm getting his attention.

"Whats our story? (Y/N) has to go to the hospital?"

"She was attacked. We were protecting her."

"What about the.."

"Go to the hospital with (Y/N) take Greer. We will take care of the clean up."

Chibs nodded his head, leaving to fo back to (Y/N).

XXX

Happy cradled Greer in his arms. He decided that he would guard this baby with his life. He kissed the top of her head.

Chibs and (Y/N) wouldn't have to worry about her safety. He looked over to Tig and Chibs; he could see that (Y/N) was hurt. He started to walk over as the cops and EMS ran in.

XXX

Chibs looked down at (Y/N), concern filling his head and heart. He knew that (Y/N) was in serious condition.

He watched as EMTs prepared to take her to St. Thomas. He appeared the gurney.

"I LOVE you (Y/N)....you stay with me. Greer and I need you!"

He watched as she was loaded into the ambulance. He and Happy had a discussion, and they loaded up in (Y/N) vehicle to go to the hospital.

The sheriff's department tried to stop them, but Chibs told them to fuck off, that his fiancee was shot and he was leaving. He told them they could come to St. Thomas and ask him questions.

XXX

Jax looked at Tig, Quinn, and Bobby, frowning.

"(Y/N), has no idea we used her house to stash and distribute drugs. We need to clean up."

"Shit, Jax, they are going to keep coming!" Bobby yelled.

"We have to destroy the house."

The Heart Won't Lie 12

Chibs felt the warm liquid spreading underneath him, he raised up, looking down at (Y/N).

"No...no....no!" Looking around he grabbed the nearest thing he could find to stop the blood.

He heard the sounds of his daughter crying, panic seized his heart.

"Greer...where are you baby?" Happy rolled over, he had her in his arm.

Chibs continued applying pressure to (Y/N)'s wounds

"Is she hurt?" He watched as Happy looked the little girl over.

"She's whole, just scared. How's mamma?"

Chibs shook his head, letting out a sigh.

Xxx

I felt the pressure in my side, I could hear Filip talking. My thoughts were on Greer. I forced my eyes open to stare up at Filip

"Greer...tell her I love her. " I whispered. I felt tears in my eye. "Filip...I can't lie..my heart won't let me..."

XXX

Chibs heart quickened, as he held pressure to (Y/N)'s wound. He took a deep breath, knowing he needed to keep his emotions together.

"(Y/N) (Y/M/N) WINSTON, you can tell Greer you love her yourself. And as far as you heart....you can confess the truths of your heart tomorrow as well. Because tomorrow is going to come.....you hear me?"

He could hear sirens in the distance. This was going to be a mess to get out of, but (Y/N) needed a hospital.

"Come on baby..hold on for me. I love you!"

(Y/N)'s breathing was slowing down, she was loosing too much blood.

"Tiggy....help me." He called to his brother from across the room. Tig was by his side, helping him.

He felt relief when the sirens were in the yard, but he felt panic, anger, and fear. He knew that they would have to tell lies to cover up the gun shots.

Lies that could destroy his relationship with (Y/N). He could lose Greer. He had to talk to Jax and make sure his family would be covered and safe.

"Hold pressure on her wound, keep an eye on her breathing. " Tig nodded at Chibs as he left the room.

Tig looked down at (Y/N), a sad look on his face. He had been given an order and he wasn't going to fail.

[traceyaudette]

The Heart Won't Lie-11

A/N I'm having health issues yet again. I've been diagnosed with P.O.T.S. I'm trying to get use to my new life of crazy heart rates.

"Flilip......" I drop the gun I was holding, and started to run towards him. Tears streaming down my face, I started ti stumble and fall. I felt his arms wrap around me, I collapsed in his arms. I pulled back, trying to catch my breathe.

"Greer...is she okay? Is she safe? Did you find her?" I was holding on tight to him. His hands moved to my face, gently cupping my checks.

"Take a breathe for me." He waited for me to catch my breathe, then he kissed me gently. "She is with Bobby, she's safe. Are you whole love?"

I nodded my head, relaxing in his arms, laying my head on his chest.

"Use your words!" He said.

"I'm not hurt...I'm shaken up....I....I....killed some people...." I started to cry. My body started to shake, as I started to back away from him. Slowly sliding to the ground.

Chibs pulled (Y/N) up to him, wrapping his arms around her.

"Hey, you did what you needed to do to survive!" He picked her up holding her close.

"I almost shot Happy! I tied up Montez with his belt,,,"

"What?" Chibs looked at Happy and Montez for confirmation. Happy nodded his head and Montez looked away. He gave a little chuckle, and he held her tighter. "It's okay my love! Let's go home."

XXX

I laid my head on Filip's chest as he carried me through the woods back to the house. I just wanted to be home with Greer and Fillip, curled up in bed; watching movies, and eating comfort food.

When we walked into the house I heard the sweet giggles of Greer, and the voice of Elvis singing through the house. I smiled knowing that Bobby was singing and performing for my baby.

I looked up at Fliip and smiled, he smiled down at me. He carried me to the couch, laying me down gently, he kissed me.

"Mommy!" Greer ran over throwing herself at me. She wrapped her arms around my neck kissing my face.

"Hi my sweet baby!" I hugged her tightly, kissing her back. "I love you..I'm so glad you're safe!"

"I wuv you too mommy! Da good job bringing mommy home!" Filip laughed, sitting down beside me, rubbing Greer's back.

"Thank you sweet girl....."

It didn't register at first, the sound of gunfire, glass shattering, the yelling, the pain, and then the darkness.

The Heart Won't Lie-10

Chiba kept his eyes and ears open as he traveled through the woods. He was following a trail of blood, his fears grew; knowing that it could be (Y/N).

He had to keep positive thoughts, that maybe she was fighting back, and that she was safe. That the guys had her safe, and the bastards that took (Y/N) were dead.

He froze when he heard a gun shot, then a blood curling scream. He ran towards the chaos.

XXX

I shot the gun again, blindly into the woods; smiling when a man screamed like a girl.

"Come out friends!" I yelled.

Montez scanned the tree line, his his hand grasped my arm.

"Come on, lets go.....we need to leave." I started to follow him, when I heard the chuckle again. It sounded familiar, I stopped; and looked around.

"Who the fuck is that?" A man slowly started to emerge from the woods.

XXX

Chibs stopped when he came to the body, he dropped to his knees. Letting out a long sigh, he wiped away the tears. He felt relief; relief that it wasn't (Y/N), relief it wasn't one of his men, and relief it was one if the enemy.

XXX

"Fucking Happy James Lowman! I should shoot you for scaring the shit out if me!"

"You damn near did!" He glared at me.

"Identify yourself next time asshole!"

"I was busy killing the fuckers that took you...."

"Well fucking thank you.....I shot a couple for you....and and there are a few more dead back over there somewhere." I point over my shoulder.

Chibs kept moving through the woods, hoping to find her. He heard voices as he got closer, he started running faster. Stopping when he saw the group standing there.

"(Y/N)!"

[traceyaudette]

The Heart Won't Lie-9

Chibs held his daughter close not wanting to let her go, but knowing he needed to go find (Y/N).

"Lovely, I want you to stay with Uncle Bobby. "

He felt her arms going around his neck, he held herclose, kissing the top of her head,

"Where you going da?" She looked up at him with her brown eyes.

"I'm going to find your ma!"

He handed Greer off to Bobby and left to find (Y/N)

XXX

I stared into the woods, where the laugh came from. Waiting for this asshole to reveal themselves.

I held my breath, gun aimed, a twig snapped. I fired in that direction.

"Mother fucker...the bitch shot me!"

"Come out douche bag....stop hiding like a bitch baby,!"

Montez giggled on the ground. I kicked him, he let out an ooaf.

"Not nice making fun of your friends. "

"I've been trying to tell you, I'm a SINS prospect."

"For fuck sake..you got be more forceful if your fonda make it with the SONS." I undid the belt and let him up. "Sorry...now help me get these assholes!"

XXX

Chibs crept through the woods looking for (Y/N). Hearing voices ahead of him, he ran towards the clearing.

[traceyaudette]

The Heart Won't Lie-8

I slowly drag myself through the woods, letting out a whimper of pain. Those bastards did a number on me, but I got my fair share of hits. In fact there are a couple of Kane member's bodies laying back in the woods.

I leaned against the tree, catching my breath. I know Filip was at the house by now and had found Greer. I could rest easy now, knowing my daughter was safe. I wanted to get home to my loved ones.

Xxx

Chibs knock on the walls frantically listening for a hollow spot, trying to find his daughter. He had to find her, (Y/N) left their precious daughter for him to keep safe.

Bobby, Rat, and Jax were helping him search the house. Happy, Tig, Quinn, and others were searching for (Y/N). His heart hurt, at the thought of loosing both them, after just finding them.

He paused in his search, knowing this was his fault. He should have been close to his girls so he could protect them. Now, they are both missing and it's his fault.

He glanced over at Bobby, as the man pushed open a panel on the wall.

XXX

"Stop, put you hands on your head, and drop to your knees!"

I stare at the man in the black kutt

"Ma'am....I'm "

"I don't give a flying fuck, who you are!" I strip the man of his weapons. "Take off your belt!" Using his belt I secured his hands behind his back.

"Ma'am, I'm Montez, I'm a prospect.."

"Shut up and walk asshole!" I pushed him in front of me. Walking towards the house. I heard branches breaking to the right of me.

I pushed Montez to the ground.

"Come on out mother fuckers, so I can blow your knee caps off!"

Xxx

"Unca Elvis Bobby!" Chibs felt relief rush over him at the sound of Greer's voice. He rushed over to where Bobby was standing.

He took Greer our of Bobby's arms, holding her close.

"Are you hurt my sweet girl?" He checked over her body

"No da, I ok... Where's mommy?"

"Will find her baby?"

Xxx

I scan the wood, watching for movement.

"Come out you fucking bastards or I'm going to blow your little buddy's head off! At this point I'm not sure which one!"

I listened carefully trying to hear noise to determine where the other men were. Than I heard the chuckle, I kicked Montez as he laid on ground.

"Come out you asshole!"

Is there still interest in my writing? I know I don't write as often, but with work, my grandson and my health; I'm sometimes overwhelmed. I still want to write but if there is no interest then I don't feel pressure to finish stories.
