“Ok, tell me about your village.”
“Well, it’s small, very small. Relatively exclusive actually. There are people from all over the world there, so many different languages and cultures in one place, yet none of it seems to clash. There are people of all different descent there too, like your fairy friend. I’d sensed a fairy in the village before. And a witch at one time. Even a vampire a long time ago. Thornbridge was always bustling with people, but rarely wolves. It’s one reason my parents hid me so well and my father taught me to conceal my aura, I had to be protected from everyone, even my own village.”
With every word he spoke my heart raced more and more. It can’t be. It’s impossible. There was absolutely no way this was the truth. He was from the same village as Scar, which wasn’t the most shocking part. He was from the village I visited a year ago. He could sense other peopl
{ Codyn }As soon as we saw the Alpha barreling towards us and towards the exit I saw Scar push me up and tell me to follow him. She gave me a non-optional fairy push with her magic and I obliged, it was already damn near impossible to say no to her.I followed the Alpha out of the cave and paced myself behind him a couple steps. He knew I was there, but he didn’t say anything. We ran for a few minutes until we came to a dense part of the forest. He was shaking his head and while I couldn’t sense his aura, anger was radiating off him at alarming rates.He turned and swung his fist straight into a tree. It left a fist sized dent that went 6inches into the tree. This man was strong, stronger than any wolf I’d ever seen and that was saying something. I didn’t love the idea of being under someone else’s command after everything that happened with Kayden, but I could already tell this was differe
{ Vynetta }I smelled them a moment before Codyn entered the cave looking frantic. Kayden’s men. They were close. They had found us.“We have to go, NOW,” Codyn told us, grabbing Scarlyt’s hand and leading us outside. I saw Oryn waiting for us and he reached out for me and took my hand before we sprinted into the woods.“Where do we go?” I asked him as we ran away from the scents of the warriors following us. They could smell Codyn and Scarlyt, they could track us. I attempted to block Scarlyt’s scent but I couldn’t manage to do Codyn’s and decided it was useless unless I could do both.“We need to shift so we can run and fight them off if they get close,” Oryn said glancing every direction looking for wolves.I sucked in a breath, I didn’t want to. They would know. What if they didn’t know? What if the
{ Oryn }Codyn recognized one of the wolves and managed to get to me that we needed him, I didn’t know why, but I put my trust in him. We had finally trapped him and taken him down. I told him to shift, allowing my aura to slip on accident but surprised to see him immediately shift and submit. He turned to me and said in a sovereign tone, “Alpha.”I quickly walled up my aura but I looked to Codyn to see him doing the same thing. He was kneeling with his hand over his chest. When he stood I saw his wolf’s eyes until he shook his head and his own eyes returned.I turned back to the wolf in front of me and told Codyn to bind him. He did as he was told and then I looked around and I felt my entire body ache, oh no. I couldn’t see Vynetta. I couldn’t sense Scarlyt. We had went way too far to find this man. When I looked back at his face I saw a smirk playing at his lips and I realized we ha
{ Kayden }“Well well well, isn’t this a pretty little wolf,” I whistled when they brought forward the wolf they managed to capture.She was a spunky little thing, and as soon as I sensed her I knew she was a mix-breed. I growled when I felt her fairy side, but thankfully it was suppressed from what I could tell so I didn’t immediately rip her to shreds. The originals disgusted me and I’d done what I could to eliminate them from my world. This one had apparently stayed hidden but I was currently more curious how it was possible she was a wolf, since she was the first female wolf I knew of. I’d need answers to that before I slit her throat.“Who was she with?” I asked my men who brought her in.“Three other wolves. Two we couldn’t sense the auras of,” one of my generals told me.“What about the one you could?&
I had an inkling who she was fighting and I was desperate to go help but there were 15 warriors surrounding them including one who was giving off an incredibly strong aura. I looked over to Codyn who was staring intently at the other end of the deck. My heart started racing when I saw what he was looking at. It was 4 people, huddled together, all bound and all bruised. Codyn was staring lovingly at Scarlyt, but my eyes locked on the man of the group who looked pissed beyond belief as he watched Vynetta fight. I had never seen my father so angry.We needed to get to them. I could tell from here that one of the women was not doing well and the other one was beside herself with worry over her. I looked through and saw some stairs near me, we would have to be silent, and we would have to be fast. I waited a beat to make sure everyone’s attention was on the fight and then I grabbed Codyn and we went up. We made it up and then we weaved through the door and into
He came at me fast and hard after that tackled me to the ground. My first thought was my neck, I needed to keep him away from ever being able to mark me so I used his weight against him and managed to wiggle enough to knee him in his groin. This was a distraction that allowed me to elbow him across the face and throw him off me with my legs. He landed a bit away from me and I was on my feet in a flash.He was getting more pissed each minute that went by. A few rounds of hand to hand later and he managed to get in a deep gash across my shoulder. I cried out in pain and grabbed it. The pain radiated through me and I slowly calmed my breathing and felt my hands tremble as I called on the rocks as steady and quickly as I could. Nature instantly answered my call and a small wall of pebbles formed and flew towards Kayden, knocking him off guard.Hand to hand was over. It was time to get serious. I could feel myself getting worn down and I knew he
{ Vynetta }Once I saw the small window I needed, I didn’t hesitate. I called on Juno and the Earth Goddess. I pulled all the power from Earth as I could, summoning it and demanding it obey. As an overwhelming amount of power came into me I felt my concealment shatter and my aura was released. I didn’t try to contain it anymore, they knew where I was and they needed to know who I was.I gathered all the power I could and I focused on one element I knew I could control extremely well. I felt the flames in my hands and I swirled them around each other creating a fireball between them. I hadn’t contained fire quite like this between my hands. I forced a small shield around it with wind to keep it from expanding beyond its shape and then I focused it on the man in front of me. I watched his movements and I took a step to the right, making sure everything was in line. A fireball of this magnitude was going to knock him clear acr
{ Gabryl }I thought I was hallucinating, I prayed I was imagining it. Oryn cannot be here, he cannot. Not only because of the secrets I was hiding from everyone in this cove but also because of the danger. He was my son, why was he here when we were being overrun and beaten down by the king and his soldiers.I shook my head remembering. How they found the entrance to the cave I have no idea. But once they were inside, they were silent and they were deadly. They came through and managed to navigate the twists and turns into the cove and as soon as I recognized their auras and where they were it was too late. There was far too many of them inside the cove and a fight would have assured my own death and left Kyda and Prym all alone. I couldn’t do it.I attempted to hide us but Prym told me it was useless and sat still at the table downstairs just waiting for them. I begged and I pleaded with her to let me conceal her
