The DungeonsSixty-Nine: Elijah The look in my father’s face had me standing tall as two guards grabbed me by my upper arms. I hear my father’s warning growl as both hands quickly drop from my arms. Holding my head high, I follow the one in front of me as the other flanks me. I hear my Uncle Randy and Aunt Lexi arrive, their voices behind me. A sense of foreboding takes hold of me as we round the corner of the building. Looking around the grounds has me confused. I don’t see any families or pups anywhere. All there are a few males here and there. All of them were wearing the black robes of the Elders. Some tan ones that are Elders in training. Then of course you have the Council that wear the red robes with High Elder wearing red with black trim on his. “What is going on in this place Aragon?” I ask him as I feel his strong presents inside of me. Normally he is c*cky and full of information for me. Now he feels like he is full of anger for some reason. “Keep lo
Intense PainSeventy: Hascal It seems that I cannot get comfortable sitting in the car seat. My father, not trusting the rooms not being bugged in the Councils buildings. So, we are all jammed into one of the SUV limos. It is the King and Queen. Along with Ronin, Dell holding Corbin in the middle of them. And my parents are sitting by my side. “Son, what do you think about this all?” My eyes meet my father’s as he looks at me expectantly. I fidget once more on my seat. “Hascal, are you okay son?” My mom asks as she puts her hand on my forehead. I go to swipe her hand away. Feeling a slight pain in my stomach. I moan as I curl up into myself. “Hascal?” I hear screams as an intense pain hits me making me cry out as total darkness overtakes me.Meanwhile (3rd Person’s POV), “Oh, my Goddess. Randy, what the hell is wrong with our son?” Lexi screams out, clutching her son to her body. “Honey, calm down. He is fine.” He says as she looks at him with wide eyes. Randy
TheoriesSeventy-One: 3rd Person POV The gasp can be heard as Savvy chooses at that moment to wake back up. Everyone stares at her as she slowly sits back up. Looking around her eyes landed on Hascal. “Savvy, what is wrong with our son?” Randy asks as Lexi has tears running down her face, hovering over her son laying on the floorboard. With a sigh Savvy sits up as she leans back with the back of her hand pressed to her forehead. Lexi looks over at her with an imploring look written all over her face. “It’s the bond.” She states in a sad voice as Randy becomes stoned faced. “How can it be the bond when he rejected her?” Ronin suddenly asks. “Because she didn’t accept the rejection. They are still connected….” Randy says in almost a whisper. Looking at his son’s form laying in his mother’s embrace. She had somehow scooted herself on the floorboards, laying his head on her lap. “Don’t you remember the stories of Fated Mates from our childhoods?” Tobias says as he
The Forgotten OneOne: Elijah It’s finally summer break. I exit the high school with a big smile on my face. “Hey Eli, you coming to the water hole tonight?” I look over and see Evert coming up to my side. He is my best friend and sidekick. “If my parents aren’t home, then yeah.” I say as he looks down and nods his head. Evert knows it is a sore subject for me. My parents are rarely home since my sister disappeared on her sixteenth birthday. I rarely get to see them. Then it is all about “how is school, you need to get better grades. Quit being so rude to your nanny and house maid.” Always reprimands instead of them actually being parents. And who the hell needs a nanny at sixteen! Well at least I will be sixteen in exactly seven days. “Hey Eli!” I hear Trixie scream as both me and Evert stop and turn our heads. “Sh*t, it’s the she-devil.” Evert says as I laugh. “Come on man, she isn’t that bad.” I say as I glance at him, and he shivers. “Dude, she tried to kis
She’s HereChapter Two: Elijah I get up off my bed. I want to leave my room because I cannot be around them right now. “Elijah.” My mom cries out as I look back at them. My dad has a hard look on his face. “You will be leaving next week for Alpha training.” I stare at him for a moment. Did they really forget when my birthday is. I feel the tears welling up in my eyes once more as I stare at them. I nod my head before I leave my own room to get away from them. So, I guess now I have to take that Alpha King seat since they still cannot find my sister. I’m just her replacement, nothing more. I just have this feeling that they would rather have her than me here. Would they care if I disappeared too? Would they even look for me or just continue to look for Trish as I mean nothing to them. I find myself in front of Evert’s house. I walk up to the front porch and knock on the door. I hear voices, a laugh, then the door opens by Misty, Everts mom. “Eli, honey what are
ShatteredThree: Elijah Racing out of the bedroom and down the stairs. I hear Misty hollering from the kitchen. “Grab a pair of swimming trunks. Everyone is down at the lake.” I spy the trunks and towels on the bench by the front door. “Thank you, Misty.” I scream before racing out the door only to collide with Evert. “Hey, help me with the cooler and snacks please.” I give him a scowl as he just grins at me. “Come on man. She isn’t going anywhere. As a matter of fact, my brother has her cornered right now.” My frown deepens as I think of Thomas being close to Corbin. “Okay, come on let’s make this quick.” I say as I turn and wait for him to go past me. Following him through the kitchen to the back door. I dunk into the bathroom quickly to swap my shorts and underwear for swimming gear. As I come out, I see Misty helping Evert to load up the water bottles and pop into the cooler. It has wheels so there is no carrying it. Grabbing the two shopping bags of snakes
New BeginningFour: Elijah I wake up to the sound of crickets. Opening my eyes, I notice I’m on the porch of the little cabin that my sister used to take me to when I was little. It is old and run down now but holds so many good memories. I asked her one time why we would always come here. “This is our safe spot, our safe haven away from all the chaos.” I smile as I remember her words. Even though at the time I didn’t know what those words meant. Being here brings a calmness to my soul that I really don’t understand. Taking a deep breath, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Pulling the effing thing out I wake it up. Seeing forty missed calls and a sh*tload of texts from everyone but my parents. Most of the messages are from Evert as well as the missed calls. I sigh as I think about what happened yesterday. That is when I feel the anger at my best friend hiding from me that his brother Tomas has feelings for the one person I have been in love with my whole lif
Where’s ElijahFive: Corbin We had just reached the King of Alpha’s pack, the Silver Claw Pack. I feel so excited to see Elijah once more. For the last couple of years, I haven’t been able to come as my Daddy and Dad wanted me to get some summer projects done for when it’s time for me to apply to colleges. I want to go into Supernatural studies and Efram College is the best, so I need the extra credits to be able to get in. It is the same college that my Aunt Izzy went to and met her Fated Mate. A dreamy sigh leaves my lips as I think of how romantic it must have been. How I just cannot wait to turn eighteen and find my own Fated Mate. “Hey, Cor.” I hear my sister as I look over at her she is driving us as our parents won’t be out until tomorrow. They are dealing with some pack business at the moment and couldn’t get away. “What’s up?” I ask as I see how she is nervously chewing on her bottom lip. “Tabby?” I say as she glances back at me. I hear the long sigh t
