LOGINMaddison 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,
Jessica P.O.V.“How dare she turn her back on me like that? I have made her everything she is.. Stupid witch.” Silvan has been raging and ranting in our tent for hours now about how Druida basically humiliated him in public. I must say I’m enjoying the show so far seeing that I’m forced to be present for all of it. The disagreement between the two of them comes at a very convenient time for me, and what makes it better is that he is also suspicious of everyone in the camp. Someone clearly tipped of the packs about the probe attacks and for once he can’t turn to me with his stupidity and ignore everyone else because I have been glued to his side since he had the very moronic idea of us needing to be seen as a strong front and therefore I have not been out of sight of him for even a second. He even follows me when I have to do my business, which is annoying as fuck and kind of embarrasing, especially as he asks me to do the same. Fucking paranoid bastard. Luckily he can’t be everywhe
Druida P.O.V. The next morning I don’t even manage to get out of my room before someone is knocking insistently. I wave my hand, making it open without having to interrupt what I’m doing. Outside Freya is wringing her hands, and almost stepping one foot over the other. “Goodmorning wicca. Come in
DruidaAfter a couple of days, and some very demanding messages from Silvan that I return at once because he needs my advice, Lucas and I decide it’s time to return to camp. I reach out to Angel, so we can work the disguise spell on him, making it more permanent and workable. I’ve looked it over th
Elder Richard P.O.V.“... investigate it further, but the news so far is quite disturbing, and I dread what they find when they dig deeper, but we need all the evidence we can get.” Dorian says on the other end of the line. I tap my chin, deep in thought. “Does he suspect we’re looking into him?”
Lucas P.O.VWhispers. All around me people are whispering together, but I cannot decipher what they are saying. Not yet. They are not close enough. Pieces of hushed conversation reach my ears, but not much makes sense. I find myself drifting between waking and dreams. The dreams are filled with fir
