Toby’s POV Watching Rae and Chris work their magic is incredible. We have arrived at yet another base of Hunters. This one wasn’t as kind as the last five that we arrived at. Most of those five surrendered and agreed to a peace treaty. This one, however, every one was tainted with hatred. A hatred for something that they didn’t understand. The way these hunters live is similar to how our packs live. They are familiar based. I would feel bad for some of these humans but, they are so full of hatred, they can’t be saved. My warriors and I have taken all of the small children, handing them off to the humans. They will figure out who to give them too. There are some hunters that lost their children due to the severity of the battles they waged. All of them were lead to believe that all supernaturals were a danger to them. When Rae stood up in front of them, and offered peace, only a few challenged her. Mostly the oldest ones were filled with hatred. Rae gave them plenty of chances. She
Chris’s POV Exhaustion doesn’t even begin to cover how I am feeling right now. We have traveled three quarters of the globe and destroyed many hunters. I feel like I should have some guilt over this but I don’t. These are the scums of the earth. We ran into some hunter camps that had scientists working on humans. Labs were in more than half of the camps. Humans caged in cells smaller than a bathroom. Speaking of bathroom, they only had a pan to use as theirs. The smells that encompassed these labs were enough to make every one of us vomit. That was before we even saw the first cell. On top of the surface, they look like cabins. We would have not even noticed them if it wasn’t for Jessica. Toby’s top warrior. She smelled something. Of course, she found out that she was pregnant and that’s why she was able to smell it when the rest of us couldn’t. We destroyed the house before we found the secure wall. Magic was in play because once we found it, the house shifted on the outside to s
Toby’s POV As Raleigh falls, I rush to catch her. My heart is pounding in my chest. I know that she hasn’t been feeling well lately but I haven’t wanted to bug her about it. ‘Chris, meet me at the pack doctor’s office.’ I holler through the link. ‘Already on my way.’ She groans in her sleep and I pick up speed. I should have seen this coming after everything that we have been doing over the last year. She must’ve exhausted herself out. ‘Cian, can you detect what’s wrong?’ I ask my wolf. ‘Serenity has been blocking us out for the last week or so. I’ve tried to ask if everything is okay but she just assures me that she’s tired.’ ‘Do you think that it has anything to do with what we just did?’ I ask, nervously. A huge wave of guilt hits me. Maybe I shouldn’t have pressed that. Now, that I think about it, she hasn’t been very active in the bedroom lately, either. Cian scoffs. ‘Of course not. It has to be something else.’ “Let me see her.” Chris snaps, pulling me out of my head with
Rae’s POV “Push, baby. You have this. One more time. You’ve got this.” Chris says. I feel like breaking off his fingers with this next push. Despite all of my yelling, and squishing his fingers, he has the brightest smile and radiates happiness. “Where is Toby?” I ask. “I want to wait for Toby.” I whine. “He’s almost here, baby. You know that he had to go to Ryan’s territory. This baby doesn’t want to wait. They are ready come out.” I blow out a breath. He doesn’t have to remind me. I can feel them pushing out. I groan. Toby had to leave to go help Ryan because a few of the hunters that escaped our raids have been causing issues. He’s been gone for a whole week. Now, he’s not here and the babies are coming without him. I want to cry. “You can do this, Rae. One more push and he’s out.” Linda says. I take a deep breath as Chris pushes me up. As I push as hard as possible, the door flies open and Toby rushes in. He rushes to stand on my other side. I am unable to say anything as I
Rae’s POV I open my eyes to bright light. I look around and find myself in a field. Did I die? My heart breaks realizing that I am not going to see my husbands or my children. I slowly stand up and weave my hands through the grass. I glance around when I feel a presence around me. A man steps out of the shadows and my breath hitches. “Daddy?” I ask. “Hello, pumpkin.” He says. I run to him and jump into his arms. “Daddy, I’ve missed you.” “I have missed you too, pumpkin.” He whispers. “What are you doing here?” I ask. “I came to see you. I am supposed to walk you to the moon goddess.” “The moon goddess?” I ask. “Am I dead?” He smiles sadly. “Not yet, dear. There are some very determined people working on you. But, you are dying. Come.” He says, as he wraps his arms around my shoulders. I can’t help but cry. I am glad that I get to see him but I don’t want to leave everyone else behind. “I am proud of you, pumpkin.” He says. “I have been keeping an eye on you. You, and your m
RaleighMy name is Raleigh. I'm 18 and the current talk of Erondale. There have been numerous murders of girls that look similar to me; raven colored hair and green eyes. I have a wolf, also, though not all of the murdered girls have one.I didn't know that I had one, though. It was something that just changed about me. Well, I say changed, but really it's been here with me all along. My mother hid it from me.She employed a witch, named Katrina, to bind my wolf and powers. That's right. I have a wolf and powers. Those are due to my ancestors. I don't want to talk about them at the moment, though.The most important reason that people are talking about me is, I have two men fighting over me. Chris, my best friend who also broke my heart into millions of pieces, and Toby. Toby's never really broken my heart, though.It would seem like Toby would be the easy choice. He's sweet, a gentleman, and absolutely perfect. Not to mention, his looks. His looks are enough to stop a girl's heart. H
Remember: You can't interact. I hope that you don't get scared when I switch point of views on you. Don't worry, I'll warn you about who's mind your entering. I'm starting with me at thirteen. The day that it all started changing for me. Brace yourself. 3, 2,1.Raleigh"Let's go, Raleigh!" Talon yells at me, from the other room.I groan. Getting dressed, I toss my pillow at the door. "I'm coming, jerk!""Watch your attitude, squirt!" My brother shouts at me irritated.The smell of Mama’s food has reached my nose causing me to pick up my pace. Running down the stairs, and racing into the kitchen, I see that she has made us a really tasty breakfast. I shovel the the food down my throat. I can’t help it. My best friend, Prince Chris, is supposed to be on his way to pick me up."You know, you're going to end up choking one of these days. You eat faster than your brother." She says, nodding her head at Talon.I grin up at her. "I can't help it that you make food that tastes too good. I nee
A Few Months LaterFlashback to the day after.I wake up hoping that last night is all just a really bad dream. There is no way that Chris will hurt me like that. We’ve been best friends forever. Why would he date Sera? Why would he not stick up for me? My hopes are ruined, however, when the look on Talon’s face tells me that it is just wishful thinking. My best friend is dating my mortal enemy, Sera. I can’t even seem to breathe. How does he think this is going to work? Does he think that we will get along? No. He doesn’t. He knows. The events replay in my mind. Now that I think about it, Chris’ look wasn’t one of concern. It was a challenging look. He doesn’t care what I think. He made that perfectly clear when he just shook his head and left with her.I can’t even come up with a good way to get back at her. I guess that I don’t have a mean backbone in my body. So, I go to school like I have every day except this time I walk by myself. Chris never shows and neither does Sera. I gu
