I had actually been thinking of writing a story about Elias. I included a bit of the first chapter. I would love to hear your comments and see if you like it.
Elias povEveryone knew I was destined to be the King of all the werewolves. Which meant no one dared to be anything but nice to me, expect my friend Zoey. She had known me ever since she moved here, after her dad was taken by my grandmother. She would always tell me the truth and had no problem giving me a hard time when I deserved it. Today was one of those days. I had been seeing Lisa for a while now, but I had always been clear of my intentions. I did not want a mate, being my mate would be dangerous. Anyone close to me could be used as leverage. My mother was the Luminous Wolf and she could take care of herself, she had been practicing with her friends to find new ways to keep the pack safe. My father was Alpha of the Crimson Moon pack and although he had no special abilities, he was not one to mess with. But having a mate was not something that was in the cards for me. I had my fair share of practice though, being the next True King had it’s perks. But my parents h
Amber's pov Axel was working late tonight while I was trying to sleep, but I couldn’t stop thinking about my future. I had been a mother since I was still a kid myself. I loved being a mother and seeing my kids grow up. Elias was almost an adult now and little Briana was not so little anymore at twelve years old. I had tried to be the mother I wanted to have, one that was fun, loving and interested. One who raised independent kids that knew their worth, but also knew they could go to their parents for help. Even my wolf's identity was tied to my kids. When Elias would turn 18 my powers would stop. I had no idea what that meant for Ripley. Could I still hear her then and would she be bored being an average wolf? Like I said, I loved being a mom. But often it was all I was. Even my role as Luna sometimes felt like I was the mother of the pack. What would I do if Elias and the pack didn't rely on me for protection? I loved the idea of less stress and responsibility, but I would miss m
Amber’s pov Elias had asked to meet with me about something important. He had been a lot quieter recently, I think it had something to do with this new girl Jade. He would come to my office later today. We had found out a few weeks ago that Jade parents had died in the Sage Mountain pack assault. I wish I had known, I would have never casually invited her to live in the packhouse. I can’t imagine living with the people responsible for my parents death. Well, in my case I could imagine it. Axel did kill my father and had my mother exiled, but they really had it coming. Plus I had killed Axel’s mother. And we continued to live with Maria. It had taken years, but we all forgave Maria for her part in Elias and my abduction. I had seen Elias stare at Jade and I had noticed Jade staring at Elias whenever he didn’t pay attention. Something was going on between the two of them. I had always hoped Elias would find his mate, but perhaps someone from that pack wasn’t the right fit for him. I
Amber’s pov Everyone started coming in for the conference. Ronin and Bodhi and their daughter Jaimee, Dawn and her mate Chase plus Oliver and Ava and their three kids. Then there were the special wolves who already lived here; Noah, Zeke and Emma all had joined our pack twelve years ago. Emma worked together with Gamma Omar most of the times, he had the ability to smell anything from miles away which came in handy. Zeke lived in the city like Noah, he had started working at the hospital. His healing powers were a great asset to our doctors and pack. We were missing one wolf, Charlotte, she had stayed at the Shadow pack of Alpha Soren. She wanted to see the compounds being teared down 12 years ago and found her mate in the Shadow pack. She had just given birth to a boy and decided to sit this conference out. Charlotte had super strength and would have been a great addition to our pack, but everyone was free to choose where they lived. As usual we started our conference with a small r
Hi! I wanted to add a small chapter to bridge the time between chapter 48 and 40, seeing as I jumped pretty quickly to 12 years later. Hope you get a better feel of what happened those years from Axel's pov. Axel’s pov The thought about being a father again excited me so much. It was also terrifying, I had skipped the whole diaper and breastfeeding fase with Elias. I had no idea what it would be like to have a little baby around. When I heard it was going to be a girl I got even more scared, a girl! Someone I would have to protect from annoying boys. Or it could be girls, but at least that way she wouldn’t come home at 16 with a child like Amber and me. O god, I was really going crazy here. "What are you stressing about Axel?" Amber asked kindly through the mindlink. Hearing her voice in my head calmed me down. Having a girl wouldn’t be so bad if she wasn’t anything like her mother. I would make sure this pack was a safe place for her to be raised. A place where a girl could be an
Amber's pov I needed to leave around twelve for my run with the special wolves, but I had some time left for Axel. We made love like when we first found out we were mates and I did not want to leave our bed. I was snuggling with Axel when Ripley said, "okay, you had your fun. Come on let me out." Fine. I got out of bed, trying not to wake Axel up and grabbed a big shirt. I put the shirt on and headed downstairs, the other special wolves were already waiting for me. They would head out with me, some of them wanted to see how I charged myself. I had always been reluctant to share it with anyone, but it was one of the last times I would be able to do this. We all shifted and went into the forest. I usually charged myself near the lake, but that area still felt private to me. So I found another clearing. I sat down and the other wolves sat down beside me, forming a circle. "You know, we can try something different if you want?" Ridley said. "What do you have in mind," I responded.
Axel’s pov Dinner had been great. Kenzo and Keva announced their pregnancy, Keva was expecting a girl. I was really happy for them, although it did remind me of my own desire to have more pups. But I didn’t walk to talk to Amber about it until Elias’ birthday. She already had so much going on and I knew she felt like she wasn’t giving Briana enough attention. No way would she say yes to trying for a third. Amber and I had headed to bed when I heard someone shouting from the hallway. "HELP! Please help! It’s Elias!" Amber and I ran as fast as we could to his room. When Amber saw Elias lifeless body on the bed she immediately shifted. I saw her pouring her light into Elias, just like twelve years ago. Jade was the one who had called us it seems, she was crying and hiding in a corner. I noticed a small piece of paper on the bed and two wine glasses. She had been in the room with Elias when something happened. Amber was too busy saving Elias and I knew I couldn’t help them. I was jus
Axel’s pov Amber and Elias were both on bed rest, sleeping most of the day. I felt totally helpless in this situation, I knew I just had to wait for them to get better. I spend my days focusing on pack security and finding out more about witches. My father had an extensive library, which actually belonged more to my mother in hind sight. But perhaps she had some books on witches as well. I needed to do something. Briana was in school most of the day, even though I told her she was more than welcome to stay home. I think she needed the distraction as much as I did. I walked to the library and saw some books that might be helpful. They discussed the difference between white and dark magic and how each type of magic changed someone. Performing dark magic required massive amounts of anger and evil, the more you performed dark magic the darker your soul became. Some spells even took some of your soul. I think that Jade’s spell was one of those, seeing as she said, "take my soul to bring
