Time had no meaning. Just a constant barrage of memories and dreams. Eveleen's laugh, her touch, those amethyst eyes that pierced my soul. Do I still have a soul? Am I even still her husband or just a beast? I roared in despair and felt as if the world was shaking. Wait, it was shaking...what is this?

Come forth, son of shadow, you have lingered too long. Your mates need you, I heard a strange voice say. Your new destiny awaits.

Suddenly a myriad of bright lights assaulted my eyes and I heard a familiar voice, "He's here!"

Kota

We had been following Luke and Nate's scent for days. Cade and I could easily pick up their wolves, but we never seemed to catch them. On the fifth day, I woke up and tried to shift back but couldn't. Mate - Cade purred as he pushed me further back and took control. Sniffing deeply, we picked up on Luna's scent and began to follow the trail. This place was crazy. I couldn't tell if we were above or underground - light seemed to move in odd ways, and I couldn't smell fresh air.

Suddenly a flash of silvery fur caught Cade's attention and he picked up his pace. We entered a dimly lit cavern and saw a silvery wolf that had Luna's smell. I could feel Cade's arousal as he neared the creature. She whined and nuzzled his neck, coating his fur with her smell. Mate, he growled and she lowered her haunches in submission to him.

It was like a pull to be near her that didn't make sense. Cade - Luna isn't a wolf, I tried to tell him, but his instincts drove him to mount the female who smelled like her. I tried to fight him, but the more I struggled mentally the weaker I felt. Then he sank his canines into her neck, claiming her and I felt as if I'd been stabbed. At that moment, we both knew it wasn't Luna, but he didn't stop. Instead, it was as if he was possessed and he began to knot inside the she-wolf as she panted. When his knot released and had coated her insides, he slid out of her and she turned to him, then sank her own teeth into his neck. My eyesight began to cloud as I was shoved even further down as this creature seemed to take control of Cade.

Then I heard her voice.

Hello Kota. Have you missed your ten? Sang's voice rang through my mind. She pulled back her fangs and then before my eyes, transitioned into the petite blond she used to be. She ran her hand through my fur as she knelt beside me. "You'll be such a good pet, won't you?" she said as she slipped a collar around my neck and I began to feel drowsy. "Don't worry, Kota, I'll take good care of your wolf, and soon you won't remember being human. You and your wolf will become one - and both of you belong to me now." She pressed a kiss to my snout, "Rest now, my pretty puppy. I have such plans for you."

I tried to yell, scream, even howl, but nothing came out. My legs wobbled and I fell to the floor as darkness overtook me.

Corey's POV

"I have a gift for you, Darkling," Erebus told Kalie as he led her into the room, his large hands covering her eyes.

"You're spoiling me," she giggled, then squealed when he removed his hands, "Ere! This is so amazing!" She clapped her hands in glee as she looked at us.

It had been almost thirty years since Eveleen vanished. Since that time, our family had begun fracturing, groups or individuals vanishing left and right. Owen, Axel, and Marc had followed the first lead then suddenly vanished. Not even the Morrigan or Triton could find them. Luke and Nate had been attacked, but we couldn't find them, even with the tracking spell. It was like they were gone, and then when their wolves seemed to vanish, Kota had become single-minded, following every lead he could - until he vanished as well.

No one really knows what happened with Sean. A few months after Owen had vanished, we heard a window-shattering scream. When we reached his room, everything was destroyed and scorched. Sean was simply gone.

We had been searching various realms when Erebus caught the four of us. However, I didn't see Silas anywhere in the room.

"I gave Sang her last one," Erebus chuckled. "She had me change him like your Axel."

"Ohh, she'll enjoy that. Maybe we can let them drain the stupid fairy," Kaylie smirked.

"Tut, tut, little Darkling, I still have plans for her," he chided her. "However, we can let them have some fun. Now, what do you have planned for your trio here?"

Clicking her tongue, Kaylie began walking around Raven. A shadowy knife suddenly appeared in her hands. She laughed when she saw my eyes widen, "Oh, sweet Corey. You have no idea who and what I am now, but you will." She then began cutting his flesh.

"Get the fuck away from him you bitch!" I yelled. Raven's body sagged, held up by the chains around his wrists. I pulled at the cuffs around my own arms along with Brandon who was shackled next to me. I made a choking sound as I watched her slice at his skin with the odd-shaped knife. Each cut bled, then magically healed with wisps of black smoke.

She laughed, "Oh Corey, don't worry. I'm not really hurting him. I'm making him better, you'll see, and then it will be your and Brandon's turn. We'll be a family again." The look on her face was pure madness. "Don't you want to join us again?" she asked as a large serpent wound around her feet. "Marc and Axel miss you all dearly," she grinned and the serpent flicked its tongue at her legs while she stroked it affectionately.

"Marc?" Brandon croaked.

"Oh, he's my pet now," Kaylie corrected him. "You all are. Soon you will live and breathe to please me." Behind her, Raven groaned and his head lolled to the side, then a deep growl emanated from his chest. "Oh look! My newest pet is ready to shift," she squealed and clapped her hands. With a flick of her wrists, the shackles vanished and Raven fell to the floor as we cried out his name. His body began to twitch and shake before our eyes. I cringed at the sound of bones snapping and almost vomited as I watched his skin seem to melt and shift.

A loud roar vibrated off the walls as tears fell down my cheeks. Where Raven had been a large creature stood on four legs, its skin a deep brownish hue and marked with strips of black ridges. It reminded me of a hyena, but much larger with pronounced fangs protruding from its mouth.

Erebus came to stand next to her, his hands caressing her arms, "He's magnificent. Your talents know no limit, my love," he gushed as she giggled. Kaylie ran her hands over the creature that had been Raven, cooing at it, "Oh, you look perfect, my new pet." She led him closer to me. Its eyes were dead - no sign of Raven or even recognition of who we were. "Sweet pet, I need you to bite this human, but don't kill him," Kaylie smirked as Raven's strong jaws clamped down on my leg and I screamed.

Pain seared through my body and I felt myself losing consciousness. I could hear Brandon yelling out to me, but couldn't answer. Then Kaylie leaned close and whispered where only I could hear, "Be grateful, Corey. I'm giving you eternity with your precious Raven. You will be the perfect guard dogs for our family. Don't worry about Brandon. He'll be happy. Now, close those pretty eyes, pet. When you wake up, you'll be my obedient boy." She pressed a kiss to my neck then stalked toward Brandon as darkness overtook me.

Brandon 

I pulled with all my might against the restraints and kept screaming out for Corey, but he didn't respond. I watched as Kaylie said something to him just before he passed out. The thing that was once Raven sat on its haunches waiting for her command. She patted his head as he let out a purring sound. "He's yours to watch over, pet. Do with him what you please tonight. Bring him back after his transformation is complete." Corey's restraints vanished and the creature picked him up in his massive jaws and began to drag him from the room.

"Kaylie, please, don't do this," I begged, my vision becoming blurred by tears.

She came to stand before me, her hand caressing my cheek, "Oh my sweet Brandon," she cooed, "He won't hurt ever again - no fears, no pain, no worries, only obedience and devotion to me. Don't you see that I'm setting all of you free?" I gaped. She was completely insane. Before I could speak, she pressed her lips to mine, then nipped at my lip. It felt tingly.

"Wh...what did you do?" I stuttered. Such a small bite, but it felt like I'd taken ecstasy. I felt sluggish as I watched her run her hands across my bare chest. Leaning forward, she ran her tongue across my nipple, biting hard. I tried to say something, but it only came out as a moan. She chuckled and lifted her eyes to meet mine. My restraints had vanished at some point and I found myself embracing her, our lips battling for dominance. Her hand tugged at my hair, pulling my head sideways. Then I felt her teeth sink into my neck. It wasn't like when North would drink from me. This felt like a searing pain flowing through my body, but I couldn't resist it. Instead, I found myself cradling Kaylie against me, pressing her head tighter against my neck.

My eyes closed for an instant and then I felt us lying on a bed, her body straddling mine. My cock twitched as she guided me to her core, then slid down onto me. I grunted and thrust upward. She leaned up, her hands on my chest as she began to ride me. My mind was screaming to stop, but my body wouldn't listen.

"That's it, lover," Kaylie purred. I groaned as my pace began to increase, the pressure in my balls building. "Cum," she ordered me and I felt myself explode inside of her as she cried out. It felt like my orgasm was sucking the very life out of me. "Give me everything you have," she told me. I screamed until my voice became a hoarse whisper as I continued to fill her. My body felt empty as I lay there. Her eyes watched me with satisfaction. "Such a good boy," she praised as she patted my cheek. "Not that you will remember, but I've taken your life force, Brandon. Sleep now, hollow. You will only remember me when you wake, and you will spend eternity doing my bidding." My eyes felt heavy and no matter how hard I tried, I simply couldn't stay awake.
