Kindred of Arkadia 8
Fated Redemption
Moe Jones, aka Mojo, has finally found his mate, but it is going to take every ounce of his strength and
a little help from Fate to help Rhys down the road of recovery.
Rhys was forced to drink shifter blood for months and is slowly recovering from the addiction. He is
scared to claim his shifter mate for fear that he will lose control and kill him. How can he claim his mate if
he can't drink his blood?
Abigail Wright is in Arkadia on a search to find her best friend from college after an alarming Christmas
card. She wasn’t planning on finding her mates, especially two such delicious ones.
Abby finds herself protecting the heart of her gentle giant shifter mate and guiding the steps of her older
vampire mate. Together all three discover that they need each other desperately.
When an old enemy targets Rhys, the new triad faces the possibility that they may lose Rhys forever. It
will take Moe’s physical strength, Abby’s infallible willpower and Rhys’s indomitable spirit to defeat their
enemy.

Prologue
“I need you to go to Arkadia and determine if Fate intervened for Rhys’s sake or Rebecca’s.” The
gentleman studied the chessboard in front of him.
“Sir, how are we supposed to do that?” the wolf beta asked. Beside him the lawyer started edging away
as if sensing impending pain.
The gentleman turned to the wolf.
“Oh dear, you’re not too bright, are you? Are you sure you want to claim this one as family, Devon?”
The wolf Alpha stared at the floor, too scared to move or respond. Devon turned his face away unable to
meet the gentleman’s eyes.
“I’m actually in a good mood today and don’t feel like having blood cleaned up in my office…again.
So, it is your lucky day, pup. The answer to your question is, I don’t care. Push Rhys into a relapse,
threaten his mate, do whatever you have to do to see if Fate steps in to assist Rhys. If not, then she was
responding to Rebecca’s desire to protect her friend, and that is something I need to know.” He walked back
over to his chess game and began to stroke the small ivory pieces.
“If we get caught we could get banned from Arkadia,” Salsiby said hesitantly.
“True.” The gentleman sang out the one-word response.
There was silence as they stared at him. Heaving a great sigh, he turned from his game and leveled a
cold look at them. They flinched.
“Are you waiting for a kiss good-bye? Because I can accommodate you.” The gentleman smiled,
revealing his elongated fangs. The three men scrambled and left the office at a run.
“Payne.”
The man stepped forward from where he had been leaning against the wall.
“Fetch the smart hyena I liked from before, the one who used that boy to breech the perimeter. I have a
feeling my little wolf pups won’t be assisting us much longer.”
Payne nodded and left the room.
Grinning, the gentleman turned back to the chessboard. He knocked over three pawns.
“Sacrifices are required to obtain the queen.”
Chapter 1
Moe Jones stood on the wide wooden planks outside of his bar and watched as vampire after vampire
streamed by carrying boxes that held his mate’s things up to the third-floor apartment. His mate stood off to
one side absently rubbing his hands up and down his arms in what Moe had come to identify as his nervous
gesture. He knew that his mate was still uneasy about moving in, but they had come a long way in the past
month. Rhys was the one who had told Moe that he was ready to move in and take his place beside him as
his mate. At first Moe had been ecstatic, but watching Rhys this morning gave him doubts. Rhys was
definitely pushing himself beyond his safe zone in an effort to be a better mate. Moe was worried that
maybe they were moving things too quickly for him.
“He is doing much better,” a regal voice said to his left. Moe quickly turned to where the vampire prince
now stood. Moe was beginning to think that the prince liked scaring the hell out of him.
“He’s still addicted to shifter blood,” Moe said quietly.
Gabriel stared at Rhys for a second longer then turned his brilliant blue eyes to him. Moe could almost
feel the weight of the ages pressing down on him when the prince looked at him like this.
“He may always be addicted. The Shifter Council has him on a probationary status. No other has ever
fought their way back from madness after consuming Shifted Death. This may be something that you will
have to live with for the rest of your lives. He may always experience mood swings and anxiety. It may
always be a roller coaster with him. Are you prepared for that?”
“You don’t have to explain withdrawal symptoms to me. All I’ve been doing for the past month has
been reading about dealing with addiction, withdrawal and how to avoid relapses. I will do whatever it
takes, be whatever he needs to get him through this. He is my miracle.” Moe couldn’t keep the emotion out
of his voice. Gabriel placed a hand on his shoulder.
“Maybe Fate knew what she was doing after all. I had my doubts at Christmas. But he may need every
ounce of your strength to overcome this.” Gabriel patted his shoulder lightly and let his hand drop.
“You know that Alpha Devon has been pressuring the Council to rule that Rhys is still a danger?”
Moe growled low under his breath.
“Yes. Roman has been keeping me up to date.”
“Devon is saying that even though Rhys’s eyes have turned back to normal his dependency on shifter
blood makes him a liability. So far, Fate’s direct intervention and the fact that he is now mated has been
enough for the council to lean in our favor. I just don’t trust that damn wolf or pathetic excuse for a
lawyer.” Gabriel’s voice got icy. Moe could tell he was remembering the lawyer’s insistence that Rhys be
“put down” on Christmas Eve.
“They will never get near him again,” Moe said firmly. Gabriel looked to him and smiled faintly.
“They would have to be suicidal to tangle with you, my large friend.”
Moe winked at the prince. Rhys’s raised voice caught Moe’s attention.
“Wait, Daniel, what’s in that box? That’s not mine,” Moe heard Rhys ask before he grabbed Daniel by
the collar of his shirt.
“Nothing.”
“Daniel?” Rhys asked again.
