登入Cian P.O.V.The day goes by in a flash of trying to calm down myself and everyone else, while telling them I’m in contact with Mirage, not using her real name of course. We’re trying to lay low on the mate front, although I know we fucked that up this morning, but it doesn’t seem that anyone has noticed. Most important of all, it doesn’t seem that Alpha Liam has noticed and become suspicious. Her secret is hers, and she will reveal it if she wants to, that is not our call and Lucas and I agree on that much at least. We do not agree on the whole let the women prove themselves aspect, but Lucas has pleaded his case enough with me to give it time and see what happens. I can be by Mirage's side in an instant if I get even the smallest inclination that she is in more danger than I deem necessary for her. Does that make me sound conceited? Yes absolutely. Do I care? Not even the tiniest bit. After Mirage mindlinked us the information about the possibility of Jessica selling out the packs
Maddison P.O.V.I can’t believe my own ears, and feeling the emotions of Liam, I somehow know he is getting the same information as I am. He is fuming and all over the place with rage and guilt. I send him some love and calm through our bond, wanting, no, needing him to know this is not his fault. It’s no one’s fault. As far as we know, and since the young Druida has been with Silvan’s organization from the beginning, we know a whole lot, Jessica didn’t know either that Rick was actually alive. Druida. She is a mystery to me. Someone I want to solve so badly. She seems so familiar, and so unfamiliar at the same time. Even Ember is solely confused about the young woman, wanting to be near her, and feeling really protective of her, but not knowing why. One thing is for certain though, she is not just a witch. Something has changed about her since she arrived at Iron Mountain - her aura is more than it was and it was pretty powerful to begin with. Then there are her uncanny similaritie
Druida P.O.V.“... can’t believe you didn’t include me in the plan.” “You would have said no or tried to stop me.” “Of course I would you absolute moron! You stole all the females, are you even aware of the trouble we’re in if we don’t lock down their powers correctly?” “Psst I already took care of Maddie and that little witch bitch friends of hers.” “Do you even hear yourself right now, Rick? You are so fucking arrogant no wonder you needed a soulcopy to survive the last time someone wanted you head. ALL OF THEM ARE FUCKING POWERFUL!” “Would you calm down, Elisa? You're giving yourself a heart attack. It’s not that bad, and besides, how are they going to use their so-called powers? I blindfolded them all.” “Does Jessica know?” “Uhm..” “Do I know what? What the fuck is going on in here? WHAT THE FUCK RICK!” “Seriously you two, why are you so scared? I took charge and made sure we have the upper hand now. Relax, I got everything under control.” “You really think so? Then why
Balder P.O.V.The packhouse has been quiet for the longest time, but I have guard duty just like the rest of the ranked members, and I opted to take the night shift, knowing Lillie would be up anyways with all the new people we got to situate between Iron Mountain and Blackmoon. She and my sister have been working tirelessly to get everything under control as more refugees have been coming to us since Silvan moved his camp closer to our pack borders. Liam is on duty with me, running besides my wolf in the circle pattern we know so well by now. I must admit being away from my mate is making me and my wolf nervous, but we need something to do other than being diplomatic and putting strategies together. We need real work, and this is as real as it gets right now. We’ve already been in three skirmishes tonight with rogues and their likes, probes trying to gauge our strength. We left no one to tell the tale in either fight. My wolf has been particularly wanting to go out and pro
Jessica P.O.V.“Scare tactics don't work, Jess. And doing something twice when it failed the first time is just plain idiotic. Next time I’ll take all your lives. I’ll be seeing you on the battlefield.” Druida says, but I do not look at her. Rick is glaring at me, his wolf on the surface with anger and hunger as he looks at the mark Druida just revealed. I know what she is doing, and even if her words makes me wonder what the fuck she is up too, I can’t take my eyes of my very much pissed off brother and lover. “YOU LET HIM MARK YOU? YOU FUCKED HIM?” Rick roars, making me recoil a little until my anger takes over fully. “Uhm guys?” Elisa says, but we both ignore her. Who the fuck does he think he is? He was the one who faked his death back then, even without fucking telling his own sister. I had no idea what he had planned, or that he knew about Anicka’s existence. How he found out I still fucking don’t know, but now he dares be hurt and offended I did what I did to survive and e
Druida P.O.V.The note on my bed is scruffy and ugly, and not to be mistaken. Meet us in the clearing where Freya betrayed me, alone or I will kill her and her mate without regret. JI read it again, wondering for the hundredth time how in the realm she got a note into my tent, but where in the realm she is? It’s been three days since Jessica and Elisa mysteriously disappeared and even though Silvan is fuming with rage by her betrayal, something is also not quite adding up with him these days. Not since the right before the utter fiasco with Stephan, who is still keeping a close eye on me and Lucas and given not so hidden threats in our lives. The issue with Silvan is that his aura has changed slightly, like it’s more mature than it always has been? But it doesn’t quite make sense, and even Lucas is lost when it comes to his brother.“It’s definitely not a soulcopy, but something is off with him.” He said the night Jess and Elisa disappeared. “What do you mean soulcopy?” I asked,
Cian P.O.V.The portal has barely closed behind us before Balder strides towards me with a tired glint in his sharp eyes. Beside him are his Beta on his right, and the Elder, Richard, on his left. His Gamma is already guiding women and children towards tents placed on the packgrounds, explaining th
Jessica P.O.V.“Let’s go already, Silvan. I’m bored.” I whine for the hundredth time since this morning. “Would you stop complaining all the goddamn time and be of use instead, then we could leave that much sooner?!” Silvan answers, his voice annoyed. “And ruin my perfect manicure? No thank you.”
Cian P.O.V. “Why don’t you just tell us who is coming through your…” Lilliana gasps when both couples and the young pregnant woman are standing on our side. “Cian.. Where?” “It doesn’t matter right now, Lillie. What matters is their protection, and the fact that she is going to deliver a baby any
Lucas P.O.V.After I’m asked to leave, nicely, I set out to explore our new home, and find somewhere where I can mindlink my parents and Cian in peace. There’s clear paths made with strewn sand in the grass, and tents in different sizes and colors all around us. Besides mine and my mates home, ther
