The Journey So Far…
Identical twins, Jace and Jem Chamberlain, born of the Breedline species—a race of humans that have special powers and the gift to change into wolf form—finds their life changed forever after their mother’s murderer, the Chiang-shih demon… is finally destroyed freeing their evil half-brother, Sebastian Crow of his possession.
As Sebastian moves on with his new life, searching for Eve—his bonded mate—he discovers he has a twin brother who has knowledge of Eve’s whereabouts and introduces him to someone far more dangerous than the Chiang-shih demon… and her name is Lilith.
With the new knowledge of Tessa’s pregnancy of twin boys, Jace is drawn to protect them from his reoccurring nightmares he suspects are visions.
After Jace proposes to Tessa, she realizes he still bears the scars from his tortured past and his thirst for vengeance against Sebastian Crow. As Tessa helps Jace overcome his unquenchable fury before the Beast in him unleashes, someone from her past unexpectedly appears.
Now that there is a bit of peace in the Breedline Covenant, Jem looks forward to marrying his beloved, Mia. Unprepared for Eve’s pregnancy—Mia’s twin sister—they must come to terms that Sebastian or the demon might have spawned her unborn children. Either way, they may bring a whole new set of destruction and evil into the world.
Meanwhile, Dr. Helen Carrington continues with her research to find the cure for the Breedline aging process as romance blossoms between her and Alexander Crest.
As promised, Drakon Hexus returns back into Cassie’s arms after helping the others destroy the demon, and hopefully, he will give her what she desires… to finally consummate their bond, bringing forth her first change into her Breedline wolf.
Tim Ross, the head council of the Breedline must face the decision he’s agreed… welcoming Eve’s children into the Breedline Covenant, and another mysterious guest—formally known as one of Dr. Hans Autenburg’s lab experiments he called SPECIMEN ONE.
Kyle and Celina continue to see where their new relationship takes them, as she faces the heartache that she may not ever walk again. Kyle’s cousin, Casey Barton, returns after mourning the death of his mother and finds a new romance himself. But he has secrets, and if it gets out to the Covenant, his life may change forever.
Continued...
Death was messy, painful and without rules… especially when you were faced with decisions to risk your life and the life of the one’s you love.
An hour later, as Tessa opened her eyes, she realized she was back at the Breedline Covenant… safe and sound, lying on top of an uncomfortable, thinly padded exam table. The same one Helen gave her the exciting, but scary news that she was pregnant with twins.
“I think she’s awake,” Cassie said, looking down at Tessa with a cheerful grin on her face. “Welcome back, Tessa.”
She felt like hell, and her entire body was stiff, but she was alive.
Jace suddenly entered her vision as he leaned over and stared at her with a worried expression in his icy blue eyes.
Tessa opened her mouth to speak, but all that came out was a low whisper, “Are the babies—“
Jace smiled. Nodding his head, he took her hand and caressed it. “They’re fine,” he said softly. “Don’t worry, baby. Everyone is just fine.”
Exhausted, Tessa closed her eyes, the faint sounds of voices carrying her off into a drifting sleep. In her dreams, her mind sensed that everything had worked out as it was supposed to. That path she had been set upon to help the Breedline fight in battle against the Chiang-shih demon had taken her precisely where she was meant to end up... safe back in Jace’s arms.

On the other side of the room, Celina blinked as tears sprang to her eyes when she heard her aunt Helen say, “I’m sorry, Celina, but the injury to your spine is beyond my expertise. You’ll need an orthopedic surgeon.”
Celina swallowed, trying to clear her dry throat. “I thought I was going to be okay,” her voice croaked. “I mean… I figured it was just a head injury. I wiggled my toes and...“ She took a deep breath. “Will I ever walk again?”
Trying to soothe her, Helen put her hand on Celina’s shoulder. “I have faith you will,” her voice suggested hope.
“We’ll find you the damn best,” Kyle promised, his eyes locked on Celina’s. “Find her the best, Doc… no matter what it takes.”
“I’ll find her an excellent surgeon,” Helen said, her concerned expression soothing Kyle’s anxiety. “You have my word.”
Kyle’s shoulder sagged a bit as if all the air escaped him at once. When he nodded, Helen checked the IV in Celina’s arm. Plugged into a bag, it hung off the medical monitoring headboard. Before she left the room to give them privacy, she looked over her shoulder at Kyle. “She needs to get some rest.”
When the door clicked shut, Celina felt a warm hand on hers. It was Kyle’s hand against her own, and the connection between them eased her in ways she couldn’t explain.
In truth, she’d lost her parents when she was just a child at the hands of her twin sister—and now she was dead. If she wasn’t ever to walk again, she still had her aunt Helen, her new family here at the Covenant, and Kyle, her Breedline bonded mate.
Leaning close, Kyle captured Celina’s mouth in a quick, tender kiss. “I’m so glad to have you back safe.”
“Me, too,” she whispered just as her consciousness slipped from her grasp, and she drifted asleep. In her heart, she believed she would come back to Kyle whole. One way or the other, she was going to walk again.
****
Tessa woke with Jace right by her side, sitting in a chair holding onto her hand. “How are you feeling?”
Staring up at him, she saw him for all he was: A fierce fighter, compassionate lover, the lost soul, the Beast, and the bonded mate who was now her family.
“Forgive me,” she murmured.
Confused, he shrugged his shoulders. “Forgive you for what, honey?”
As she thought about all their ups and downs, he’d always put her first. Covering her face with her hands, she unleashed all her emotions and fell apart.
Grabbing a box of Kleenex, he placed it in her lap. “Please, baby. Don’t cry.”
Snapping a tissue out, she sniffled wiping her eyes.
“Why would I need to forgive you?” Jace asked her again.
Clearing her throat, she muttered, “For being so hardheaded and risking the lives of our unborn children.” She snatched out another tissue. “Can you forgive me?”
“There’s nothing to forgive.” He stared at her with compassion. “You did what you had to do to save the lives of others. But part of its true.” He chuckled. “You’re definitely hardheaded.”
She laughed, and he loved the sound. “I love you.” Her wet eyes stared into his. “I love you, and I’m sorry.” She laughed again, scooting higher onto the pillows. “You’ve always done the right thing by me… always putting me first before anyone else.”
Jace grasped her hand and brought it to his lips. After he had pressed a kiss on her soft skin, he put it over his heart. As she kept it there, Jace cleared his throat. “You never gave me an answer,” he said in a raspy, tear-laced voice. In another attempt to repair his completely botched effort of proposing, he muttered, “Tessa, will you marry me?” Oh, God, he thought, please say—
Tessa smiled up at him, so much love in her eyes that it took his breath away. God, she loved this man. “Of course I’ll marry you,” she said, sincerity ringing clear in her voice.
Jace’s dimples beamed on each cheek, smiling at her response.
“You knew I would say yes, right?”
He leaned over and gently kissed her lips. “I was praying you would.”
“Good.” She placed her hand against his face. “Then it’s settled.”
Tenderly, he gathered her close and held her. Pulling from their embrace, he smoothed a strand of her hair behind her ear. Reaching into his pocket, Jace pulled out a small, black velvet box. When he opened it, Tessa’s eyes widened with excitement. Inside, she saw a beautiful princess cut, ruby ring.
“Oh, Jace.” She smiled at him, a gloss of tears obscuring her vision. “It’s absolutely breathtaking!”
After Jace took it out of the box, he gently slid it on her finger. “Alexander passed this down to me, to give to you. It was my great grandmother’s wedding ring,” he said, putting his palm over her stomach to the warm and loving place that held his sons. “We’re going to be a happy family now.”
“I love you, Jace Chamberlain.”
With his fingertips, he traced over her belly and whispered, “I love you more.”

Note: This is not part of the chapter. A reference for terms and characters, especially for new readers
BREEDLINE - A species of humans that have the ability to change from human form into a wolf. They are not like the old legend of the Lycanthropy myth. Breedline species can shift into their wolf at will. The moon has no power over them. They do not pass their ability to other humans with a bite or scratch like the Lycanthropy myth.
The Breedline gene is passed down to offspring that are born identical twins. Although they live amongst human, their species must be kept secret.
In wolf form, they have super strength, speed, and heightened senses. Their lifespan is the same as a normal human, but they are immune to illness and disease. Only a silver bullet to the brain will kill them. All males change into their wolf at the age of eighteen. Females do not go through the change until they make love to their Breedline bonded mate.
BREEDLINE TWINS - Identical twins that are born from either one or both parents of the Breedline species. They have a strong, unbreakable bond from birth, are born with telepathic abilities, and have the power to sense the other's emotions or injuries. In some cases, the bond between twins are so strong, if one dies, the other twin may pass on, especially if they don't have a mate.
BREEDLINE BONDING - The male Breedline spends their life in search of their bonded mate. When the male comes in contact with her, he instantly feels a simultaneous, desirable attraction and she becomes the most important thing in his life. He is there to love, protect, and cherish her until death. Once they are mated, they bond for life. It is possible for them to have more than one mate in their lifespan.
BELOVED - A word used by a Breedline to express the bond to their mate.
DOUBLE BONDED - In some cases, male Breedline twins bond with the same female; but one will carry a stronger bond. Usually one of them must sacrifice for the other twin.
BREEDLINE COVENANT - The Breedline species must live within the boundaries of a Covenant, which is only formed with their species. The Covenant is governed and ruled by a head council. The council keeps their laws in order and oversees the species population.
THE BREEDLINE QUEEN - Over centuries the Breedline Covenant is ruled by a true Queen. If there is no Queen living, the Covenants are governed by an appointed head council until another Queen is born. A Breedline Queen is born once every one hundred years. Her massive stature, black fur, and red eyes are the Queen's trademarks. Her alpha wolf has twice the strength, speed, and size of any Breedline. The Queen is expected to rule over all the Breedline Covenants where she will be respected and obeyed by all Breedline. This is their absolute True Law.
THE QUEENS RING - This ring has been passed down to all Breedline Queens for generations. When the new Queen places the ring on, it instantly shifts in size to fit her finger.
TRUE LAW - All Breedline Covenants have an ancient book of laws. If either sex disobeys the Breedline laws, they can be shunned, or no longer protected by their Covenant. If a Breedline takes another life out of revenge, or evil, other than protecting their life, and the life of another, they will never have the ability to shift back human and cast out as a rogue wolf.
ROGUE WOLF - A Breedline shunned by their Covenant for taking another life out of revenge or evil and forced to live as a wolf until death without the ability to change human again. Some rogue wolves form into packs, which can be dangerous for other Breedline species.
RED (BLOOD) MOON - When the full moon passes through the amber shadow of the earth, producing a midnight eclipse visible across North America. So begins a lunar eclipse tetrad, a series of four consecutive total eclipses occurring at approximately six-month intervals. This incredible light beams into the heart of earth's shadow, filling it with a coppery glow and transforming the moon into a great red orb. During this time, all Breedline species that are mated have a strong desire to create offspring. This is also a time when Breedline females are more fertile for the conception of twins.
CHIANG-SHIH DEMON (Kiang shi, a.k.a Ramael Arminius) - An ancient demon that inhabits the body of a Breedline fetus before it's born, or during a Breedline's death. It continues to take the soul over the natural lifespan of the child, or the deceased Breedline. When the demon possesses a fetus, it breaks the bonding and telepathic abilities of their twin when they are born. If the demon possesses a deceased Breedline's body, it must do so before the soul passes on. If the soul is not intact, the body will soon die.
In most cases, the Chiang-shih demon will take the life of the other twin, even before their birth. The twin that is born with the demon will bring only evil to whomever they encounter. Their sole purpose is to gain full control of another soul and seek world domination.
There are two ways the demon is cast from the soul it possesses: By its firstborn son, and the Angel of Mercy, Zadkiel. The Beast is the only one who can kill a Chiang-shih demon.
THE BEAST - He is the second born son of the Chiang-shih demon. When provoked into a rage, he will shift into his Beast instead of his Breedline wolf. The Beast is an enormous, dangerous two-footed creature that has wolf-like features. One bite has enough venom to kill the Chiang-shih demon and leave the soul of the person the demon possessed unharmed.
SHADOW WALKER (a.k.a Shadow Figure, or Black Mass) - The perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, particularly interpreted by the Breedline as the presence of a malevolent entity. When a Breedline species dies and does not pass on to the other side, they are left to roam the earth as a shadow of themselves, a ghost. They will not pass on until they have settled unfinished business before their death.
ZADKIEL (Tzadqiel, a.k.a "Righteousness of God") - The Archangel of freedom, benevolence, and mercy, and the Patron Angel of all who forgives. Breedline species tradition considers him to be the Angel of Mercy.
SUCCUBUS (a.k.a CREEPERS) - Creatures that search for, and feeds off the blood of the Breedline species. Creepers are skilled at extreme sexual pleasure, and the ecstasy they create is exceedingly intense and highly addictive. They cast off a scent that hypnotizes Breedlines into overwhelming sexual urges. They use their human-like bodies and beautiful features to control and influence their thoughts.
They have the ability to reach into the Breedline's mind during sleep, casting a spell of dreams about sexual contact, or intercourse. And one much less obvious manifestation of Creepers is nightmares - realistic, graphic, terrifying nightmares - that rob the Breedline of sleep. Over a period, it can lead to severe fatigue and depression, leaving them emotionally and spiritually drained. Death can occur if they completely take over the Breedline's body.
HALF-BREED - This species is born with the genes from both Breedline and succubus. They can bond with either a full-blood Breedline or another half-breed. They do not have the ability to change into the Breedline wolf, but they do need blood from them to survive. With the power to hypnotize, most Breedlines have minimal respect and credence toward the half-breed species.
WICCA (or Wise One) - According to the Breedline species, a Wicca is the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts, and necromancy. A Wicca is also considered to be a demonic spirit. It is unclear to the Breedline if they act under the orders of the devil, or they are simply not understood and treated as outcasts. They have the ability to do white magic (good) or dark (evil).
KATAKO (a.k.a Lucas, or Dark Shadow) - He is the Chiang-shih demon's offspring that is born both Breedline and Wiccan. After one year, the Katako develops into an adult with the mind of a child, without reaching full maturity. It has the power to appear translucent, or become completely invisible. Being born half Breedline, it can shift into a wolf and transform, or mimic another creature with the power to instantly travel from one place to another. Their true purpose of creation is to bring forth the souls stuck in purgatory by using one drop of its blood. The Breedline Queen's bite is the only way to destroy it.
GOLEMS (a.k.a The Death Army) - Evil creatures created by dark Wiccans with the power of necromancy. By releasing the souls of demons stuck in purgatory, the Wicca can give them the ability to shape into a creature that is made from earth. These creatures have various qualities, such as mass strength, enormous stature, and the power to consume their victims by saturating them with mud.
GUARDIANS (a.k.a Spirits of the Forest) - They originated during the Middle Ages with the purpose of protecting all creatures, especially the Breedline from the destruction of any creation made by a dark Wicca. They have the ability to stay invisible with the power to move through any barrier and over any distance instantly.
THERIOMORPH - This species is born with the genes of a Breedline, but do not have the ability to change into a Breedline wolf. They shape shift into an enormous black panther.

Their eye color shifts into a glowing lavender when their Theriomorph nature takes over. The Breedline see them as a threat to their species.

and 2 member cents. BREEDLINE - A species of humans that have the ability to change from human form into a wolf. They are not like the old legend of the Lycanthropy myth. Breedline species can shift into their wolf at will. The moon has no power over them. They do not pass their ability to other humans with a bite or scratch like the Lycanthropy myth.
The Breedline gene is passed down to offspring that are born identical twins. Although they live amongst human, their species must be kept secret.
In wolf form, they have super strength, speed, and heightened senses. Their lifespan is the same as a normal human, but they are immune to illness and disease. Only a silver bullet to the brain will kill them. All males change into their wolf at the age of eighteen. Females do not go through the change until they make love to their Breedline bonded mate.
BREEDLINE TWINS - Identical twins that are born from either one or both parents of the Breedline species. They have a strong, unbreakable bond from birth, are born with telepathic abilities, and have the power to sense the other's emotions or injuries. In some cases, the bond between twins are so strong, if one dies, the other twin may pass on, especially if they don't have a mate.
BREEDLINE BONDING - The male Breedline spends their life in search of their bonded mate. When the male comes in contact with her, he instantly feels a simultaneous, desirable attraction and she becomes the most important thing in his life. He is there to love, protect, and cherish her until death. Once they are mated, they bond for life. It is possible for them to have more than one mate in their lifespan.
BELOVED - A word used by a Breedline to express the bond to their mate.
DOUBLE BONDED - In some cases, male Breedline twins bond with the same female; but one will carry a stronger bond. Usually one of them must sacrifice for the other twin.
BREEDLINE COVENANT - The Breedline species must live within the boundaries of a Covenant, which is only formed with their species. The Covenant is governed and ruled by a head council. The council keeps their laws in order and oversees the species population.
THE BREEDLINE QUEEN - Over centuries the Breedline Covenant is ruled by a true Queen. If there is no Queen living, the Covenants are governed by an appointed head council until another Queen is born. A Breedline Queen is born once every one hundred years. Her massive stature, black fur, and red eyes are the Queen's trademarks. Her alpha wolf has twice the strength, speed, and size of any Breedline. The Queen is expected to rule over all the Breedline Covenants where she will be respected and obeyed by all Breedline. This is their absolute True Law.
THE QUEENS RING - This ring has been passed down to all Breedline Queens for generations. When the new Queen places the ring on, it instantly shifts in size to fit her finger.
TRUE LAW - All Breedline Covenants have an ancient book of laws. If either sex disobeys the Breedline laws, they can be shunned, or no longer protected by their Covenant. If a Breedline takes another life out of revenge, or evil, other than protecting their life, and the life of another, they will never have the ability to shift back human and cast out as a rogue wolf.
ROGUE WOLF - A Breedline shunned by their Covenant for taking another life out of revenge or evil and forced to live as a wolf until death without the ability to change human again. Some rogue wolves form into packs, which can be dangerous for other Breedline species.
RED (BLOOD) MOON - When the full moon passes through the amber shadow of the earth, producing a midnight eclipse visible across North America. So begins a lunar eclipse tetrad, a series of four consecutive total eclipses occurring at approximately six-month intervals. This incredible light beams into the heart of earth's shadow, filling it with a coppery glow and transforming the moon into a great red orb. During this time, all Breedline species that are mated have a strong desire to create offspring. This is also a time when Breedline females are more fertile for the conception of twins.
CHIANG-SHIH DEMON (Kiang shi, a.k.a Ramael Arminius) - An ancient demon that inhabits the body of a Breedline fetus before it's born, or during a Breedline's death. It continues to take the soul over the natural lifespan of the child, or the deceased Breedline. When the demon possesses a fetus, it breaks the bonding and telepathic abilities of their twin when they are born. If the demon possesses a deceased Breedline's body, it must do so before the soul passes on. If the soul is not intact, the body will soon die.
In most cases, the Chiang-shih demon will take the life of the other twin, even before their birth. The twin that is born with the demon will bring only evil to whomever they encounter. Their sole purpose is to gain full control of another soul and seek world domination.
There are two ways the demon is cast from the soul it possesses: By its firstborn son, and the Angel of Mercy, Zadkiel. The Beast is the only one who can kill a Chiang-shih demon.
THE BEAST - He is the second born son of the Chiang-shih demon. When provoked into a rage, he will shift into his Beast instead of his Breedline wolf. The Beast is an enormous, dangerous two-footed creature that has wolf-like features. One bite has enough venom to kill the Chiang-shih demon and leave the soul of the person the demon possessed unharmed.
SHADOW WALKER (a.k.a Shadow Figure, or Black Mass) - The perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, particularly interpreted by the Breedline as the presence of a malevolent entity. When a Breedline species dies and does not pass on to the other side, they are left to roam the earth as a shadow of themselves, a ghost. They will not pass on until they have settled unfinished business before their death.
ZADKIEL (Tzadqiel, a.k.a "Righteousness of God") - The Archangel of freedom, benevolence, and mercy, and the Patron Angel of all who forgives. Breedline species tradition considers him to be the Angel of Mercy.
SUCCUBUS (a.k.a CREEPERS) - Creatures that search for, and feeds off the blood of the Breedline species. Creepers are skilled at extreme sexual pleasure, and the ecstasy they create is exceedingly intense and highly addictive. They cast off a scent that hypnotizes Breedlines into overwhelming sexual urges. They use their human-like bodies and beautiful features to control and influence their thoughts.
They have the ability to reach into the Breedline's mind during sleep, casting a spell of dreams about sexual contact, or intercourse. And one much less obvious manifestation of Creepers is nightmares - realistic, graphic, terrifying nightmares - that rob the Breedline of sleep. Over a period, it can lead to severe fatigue and depression, leaving them emotionally and spiritually drained. Death can occur if they completely take over the Breedline's body.
HALF-BREED - This species is born with the genes from both Breedline and succubus. They can bond with either a full-blood Breedline or another half-breed. They do not have the ability to change into the Breedline wolf, but they do need blood from them to survive. With the power to hypnotize, most Breedlines have minimal respect and credence toward the half-breed species.
WICCA (or Wise One) - According to the Breedline species, a Wicca is the goddess of magic, witchcraft, the night, moon, ghosts, and necromancy. A Wicca is also considered to be a demonic spirit. It is unclear to the Breedline if they act under the orders of the devil, or they are simply not understood and treated as outcasts. They have the ability to do white magic (good) or dark (evil).
KATAKO (a.k.a Lucas, or Dark Shadow) - He is the Chiang-shih demon's offspring that is born both Breedline and Wiccan. After one year, the Katako develops into an adult with the mind of a child, without reaching full maturity. It has the power to appear translucent, or become completely invisible. Being born half Breedline, it can shift into a wolf and transform, or mimic another creature with the power to instantly travel from one place to another. Their true purpose of creation is to bring forth the souls stuck in purgatory by using one drop of its blood. The Breedline Queen's bite is the only way to destroy it.
GOLEMS (a.k.a The Death Army) - Evil creatures created by dark Wiccans with the power of necromancy. By releasing the souls of demons stuck in purgatory, the Wicca can give them the ability to shape into a creature that is made from earth. These creatures have various qualities, such as mass strength, enormous stature, and the power to consume their victims by saturating them with mud.
GUARDIANS (a.k.a Spirits of the Forest) - They originated during the Middle Ages with the purpose of protecting all creatures, especially the Breedline from the destruction of any creation made by a dark Wicca. They have the ability to stay invisible with the power to move through any barrier and over any distance instantly.
THERIOMORPH - This species is born with the genes of a Breedline, but do not have the ability to change into a Breedline wolf. They shape shift into an enormous black panther.
