Tristan's perspective:Armina has been quiet. Lost in her own thoughts which I know she needs to do. I just hold her hand, running small circles with my thumb as we head off to meet with the alphas. The alpha of each pack is meeting us at one of the lakes, to share the knowledge we've gained and go over any strategies and concerns. It's something that needs to be done even if I wish I was alone with my mate instead. There is so much we need to sort out with Nathanial. Knowing we only have seven days until a war there is a good chance we won't all survive plays heavily on my mind. I won't lose Nathanial and I won't die having him think I hate him. We need to talk this all out, move towards forgiveness together. I know Armina feels the same but for now, business first. When we arrive the air is tense, but I look around at the twenty men before me and feel a surge of appreciation. I know they aren't here just for us, wolves know the lycan's don't respect us. They enforce taxes, take an
Aiden's perspective: Everything has been moving too fast. I feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water as the events just keep unfolding. I can tell something is happening with Armina, Tristan and Nathanial but I also know I need to stay out of it. Mates have their trouble, outside perspectives are only relevant when asked for. If you had of told me a year ago I'd be in the Eclipse Pack. Not only a member but the Beta I probably would have laughed. Or raged. Instead I find myself loyal to the alphas, but especially their Luna. Tristan has been growing on me, his protective and loving nature towards those around him is something to respect. Nathanial seems very kind hearted, a perfect balance. The one thing keeping me sane is something I never thought I'd want or accept. Grace. She's nothing like Elena and I think that is what helped me accept her. She isn't a replacement, she's her own person. The way she tends to those around her, showing her love with caring for those in ne
My Nathanial, I sent this to Mira because I knew what the consequences of my actions would be. I'm sorry you had to see that, but I knew there were only two ends for me after you found your mate, exile which was a fate worse than death, or being able to have what I dreamed about my whole life before a quick death. I hope you can forgive me one day. I knew using that potion on you was wrong but I couldn't imagine us never having our time before I died. Mira has been warning me of the wars to come and I wanted that one moment for myself, it is selfish but I guess in the end I was. I truly hope you find happiness and Armina forgives you should that be your wish. I am sure Tristan is the one who completed my sentence but Mira had always predicted my end would be at his hands. Don't hate him Nathanial but also please don't continue to see yourself as less than him. Your heart and kindness have always been your strengths, we can't all be brute strength but that doesn't make us less. Ple
Nathanial:She stands to the side, gesturing for me to come in. Hesitating for only a second I walk through, looking around to find everything almost the same. Except for a photo of Sarah next to a candle on her fireplace mantle. The loss of my friend pulling on my heart strings as I turn to face her. She hasn't aged much. Not suprising with witches. She's connected to some major power, she could probably look exactly the same in 50 years if she wanted too. "You took a long time" she notes, watching me shifting uncomfortable. "Had to walk" I confess, looking anywhere but at her face as I add, "Croxus isn't with me at the moment" she isn't suprised. "I know, I felt him leave you" she explains gesturing me to sit on one of the chairs as she moves to sit across from me. "What do you mean you felt it?" I ask surprised, sitting as requested. I find myself finally facing her, watching her bright green eyes as she searches my face. She sighs, "Sarah made me promise a few days ago that if a
Armina.Seven days, it sounds like a bad horror movie. I walk down to hall to Tristan's room needing some time to breathe and absorb this all. Right, I've mastered moving things, tracking, reading people. The memory ability still feels random, I can't always do it on command. I need to know what else I can do. A thought comes into my mind as Tristan comes to into the room, closing the door behind him. "Perfect timing" I almost yell, "I need that diary about destiny wolves and any other books you may have about past wolves abilities" Tristan nods. Thinking for a few minutes before adding, "You don't have time to read everything Armina, I think going and speaking to an Elder may be better, I'll reach out and see if there are any especially interested in that topic" he adds, approaching me and placing his arms around my waist. I lean in closer to him, needing the comfort his he offers and letting his scent calm my crazy emotions and thoughts. "Thank you" he whispers, I look up at him c
Tristan and I have been running the morning training drills, continuing to work on different ways we can fight the lycan even if they have the strength and size. We need to do everything we can to minimise the loss of life on our side. Several pack members from the different packs here because of Shayne join in. We seem lucky that everyone is blending together well, focusing on the coming war instead of picking fights over small differences. It occurs to me that we could be creating something really special here. The biggest alliance in wolf history if everyone continues to get along. More wolves have arrived, from Shayne's allies, Eclipse & from Blood Moon. The numbers we have ready to fight the lycan are unheard of, all we can do is hope that's it's enough. As we train Aiden mind links me. 'We need to talk' His voice serious. 'Can it wait?' I ask, 'Not really. We are finishing up here, then need to get cleaned up. One hour, main room. Bring Tristan & Nathanial' I look up to Trista
