Arlen's POV
"You mean to tell me you want us all to come to your kingdom?!" The vein on Julian's massive head looked like it was about to burst. He and Amos arrived at Dreake yesterday, both gravely concerned at the increase in witch magic around the boundaries of their packs. The increase has been so rapid that the Fae magic around both packs is weakening even with my blessings.
"King Arlen, it isn't that easy for me to just leave Fire Moon. My Luna is pregnant and is currently on bed rest now." Amos explained to me.

"Right now this is the only suggestion I have. Lombardo has honed his invisibility skills beyond something terrifying. He's going sight unseen and the only thing I can come up with is for us to stay together." I've just about exhausted all options to try to keep these packs safe.
"Or we try to find that psycho's mother and leverage her!" Julian growled at me.
"The Starr's and the Quads are currently in Georgia working on that." I assured him. Out of the two, Julian is the one who is most frazzled and worried. Looking for Sophia Lombardo is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Luca's mother faked her death years ago and we just recently found out in the last year she's still alive. She could be anywhere.
"We are at the brink of a war. I've had several reports of witch activity. Ryan and Jade are reporting things at Midnight Moon. We are wolves, Arlen. Werewolves are useless against magic!" Amos shouted at me.
"I haven't told you of my newest discovery, and ask that you keep it to yourselves. My mate is a human but has some abilities I think we can use to stop Luca. One of them is being able to freeze time." Julian and Amos's eyes widened with wonder.
"How long can she freeze it?" Julian asked me.

"She's up to 20 seconds right now. The wizards George and Rafael have been working with her. Brynn also may have the gift of future prediction, but so far she hasn't been able to tap into that yet."
"Goddess, are you sure she is only human?!" Amos asked me.
"I'm sure, Aine herself told me. Brynn's parents were human, but her paternal grandmother is a future predictor and her mother was a time freezer." I explained.
"That's a very unique combination." Julian told me.

"One that makes her quite an asset to the wrong people. Her grandmother apparently uses her gift for selfish, vile reasons." I researched Sheri Hunter at length and resolved to keep that woman and her crazy daughter far away from me and my mate.
"At some point King Arlen, you will have to announce you have found your mate. How do you plan to tell your subjects about this?" Julian asked me.
"It will be a need to know basis. Brynn is always going to be a human. Attempting to change her will cancel out her abilities and put her at risk. If we can strengthen the time freezing, that may be the only way to stop Luca Lombardo." I told Amos and Julian and gave them a rundown of what George and Rafael told us about the Seer's prediction.
"So you are telling me the only hope we have is if your mate can freeze that f****r before he becomes the Invisible Man, basically." Amos clarified.
"It will take time for her to develop her gifts. They need to be nourished. Brynn being a human means she will never be strong enough to go up against Luca alone. But if we can all hold him off just long enough for her to make time stand still for him, that could be the only way to end him. She was able to freeze time for a few seconds a couple of weeks ago, but she froze all of us accidentally too. It's going to take a while for her to project that ability onto a solitary target." I told them.
"Here is my suggestion. Let's wait for your mate to develop her gifts. In the meantime, I need to move Tessa, Anthony and their children out of Fire Moon until Luca is eliminated. As much as I hate to do that, their safety and my pack's safety is my top priority. It will give Luca less incentive to attack us." I couldn't agree with Amos more. There was the added benefit of it forcing Luca onto my territory and hopefully, it would be after Brynn figured out her ability.
"This is a delicate subject but I need to ask both of you. Have either of you taken any new members into your packs recently?" Luca got his information about Patrick Jenkins from somewhere. He is obsessed with Tessa and has probably been stalking her using his invisibility at Fire Moon or Blue River to get whatever information he can.
"I don't have any new members right now. I didn't even know about what errand you sent the Starrs on until after everything happened. Aiden kept me in the dark." Julian told us.
"We don't have any new members either. Only the Starrs and I knew about the mission though I didn't know the reason about it until just now. Anthony never told Tessa and I damn sure didn't tell Gemma given her condition right now. So I'm certain I have a mole. And I won't stop until he's found!" Amos told me and Julian.
"What about Aiden and my daughter? Should I move them out of Blue River?" Julian wanted to know.
"Julian, I think you need to get them, your Luna and your son out of there for the time being. Luca has you in his sights too and since this plan didn't work, he may try to target one of them next." I wasn't telling Julian anything he didn't already know. He was one of the most lethal Alphas in the werewolf world, but even the most powerful Alpha is powerless against a wolf/witch with invisibility powers.
"I'll talk to Aiden. I think Anthony still has a couple of properties in the Bahamas he rents out still. It's time I took a vacation anyway." Julian's blue eyes perked up.
"Anthony and Tessa would go for that. We just have to keep their whereabouts under wraps as best we can." Amos agreed. We made some more small talk before I led them to the training field where Brynn was up against the two wizards.
I stared at my pretty mate looking diminutive against the two men in their robes. She was sitting on the ground cross legged with her eyes closed, appearing to be in meditation. George was sitting across from her.
"Think back to that day Patrick almost killed you, Brynn. The day Aine said you were able to use your ability. What are you feeling?" I heard George ask her.
"Scared to f*****g death I was going to die." Brynn said shakily.
"Tap into that place again, Brynn. This time imagine that fear of losing your life, or the life of someone you love, and just project it onto Rafael. Go!" George encouraged.
"Don't be afraid girl, I can take it!" Rafael encouraged lightly and made a stance like he was in a Wild West showdown, smiling ear to ear.
"Who the hell is that!?" Julian whispered to me.
"Rafael, one of the wizards. And a royal pain in my a**!" I whispered back at him and he chuckled. Rafael is way too hyper and sarcastic for my liking. Brynn really likes him. They have a lot in common such as being orphaned young and having lonely childhoods, so I try to get along with him for her sake. But I really want to see the day she puts him on his a**.
Brynn stared hard at Rafael, her blue eyes focused with intent. Just when I thought she had it, she crumbled and got frustrated.
"I'm never going to get this!" Brynn shouted in frustration, throwing her hands up in the air.
"It will come, Queen. Let's take a break and we'll meet here again in a couple of hours." The wizards made their way out of the clearing and I walked over to Brynn.
"Brynn, these are the werewolves I told you I was meeting with this morning. This is Alpha Amos Rainwater of Fire Moon, and Alpha Julian DeBuys of Blue River." I formally introduced them and they all bowed their heads in respect. If Brynn looked diminituive next to the wizards, she was practically a dwarf next to these two men.
"I had it there. For like two seconds, but I just couldn't project it!" Brynn vented.
"I couldn't help but overhear something, if you don't mind me asking you about it Queen Brynn. I heard one of the wizards ask you about when you were almost killed. Do you care to tell me more about that?" Amos asked her gently.
"My ex-boyfriend almost killed me four years ago. He beat me near to death then used a rattlesnake on me to finish me off." Brynn answered him.
"According to my Fairy Goddess, Brynn should have died in that apartment with the injuries she had. But she somehow used her ability to freeze time and it froze the venom from spreading I guess. EMS arrived minutes later and she was spared." I explained to Amos and Julian.
"Perhaps we are looking at this the wrong way. It wasn't so much fear that kept Brynn alive. Brynn, were you angry?" Julian asked her.
"What kind of question is that!? Of course I was. That piece of s**t left me there to die!" Brynn spat out at Julian. I got worried for a split second knowing Julian's reputation, but he didn't seem to be bothered.
"It p*****d you off, didn't it?" Julian coaxed out of her.
"Oh yeah!" Brynn said.
"Enough to want to kill him?" I started to see what Julian was doing.
"You have no idea!" Brynn told us.
"There it is. You need to get mad. You need to get furious. He had no right to do that to you, Queen. And he needs to pay for his crimes. So you take that anger, and you use it! Got it?" Julian encouraged Brynn.
And suddenly, I had an idea on how to get Brynn stressed and mad. I just hoped Brynn didn't scratch my face off by the time I was done with her.
"Amos and Julian, I need a second alone with my mate." I turned my head to wink at them. Amos and Julian looked me amused.
"Good luck, Your Majesty." Amos laughed and walked back to my house with Julian.
"Brynn, take a walk with me." I used a bit of edge to my voice to let her know I wasn't asking. Usually I would never just tell Brynn to do something, but I want her p****d.
"Even Kings have to know the meaning of the word please!" Brynn snarked at me.
"I wasn't asking. Take a walk with me unless you want the entire kingdom to our first kiss." I commanded her in my King tone.
"You have to be kidding me Arlen!" Brynn shouted and tried to run, but I caught her. Brynn tried to jerk out of my arms.
"I want a kiss Brynn. I'm not waiting anymore. I'm going to kiss those pretty red lips and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it!"
Goddess please don't let this backfire!!!
"I told you I am not ready!!" Bulls**t. Brynn's mouth is saying no, but her eyes show curiosity and longing.
"Too bad because we're going to kiss, mate!" I leaned in and crashed my lips into hers. For a split second, she responded eagerly and it was Heaven. Then....
"Arlen!? ARLEN!! F**K!!!" I couldn't move at all!
My mate did it.
