LOGINDruida P.O.V.I can’t believe that bitch has the fucking audacity to attack me within the walls of this place, but she must have lost all of her sense, and Jessica is willing to sacrifice her like a lamb to the slaughter. Well, fine then. Raven is pacing in our secret place, needing to have a place to stretch and growl where no one but I can hear her. She knows she can’t risk coming forward and spoiling everything, but she is so pissed off by the witch's insanity, she had to do something. A cloud of silver glittering smoke floats towards me. I know nothing good is going to come out of touching it, so I create an airpocket bubble, cocoon it and squash it with a plop, making sure no one is touched by whatever nastiness she sends my way. My sole focus on her, even though I can feel Cian’s pain and know he is injured. ‘I got him, starlight, just concentrate on the witch and do not die.’ Lucas mindlink me, sending a quick image of him and Cian in safe distance. Alora is hovering over her
Lucas P.O.V.Druida plays her part perfectly, making Silvan eat right out of her palm. That was not the part of the plan I was worried about. He has always been a self-absorbed idiot, who would swallow whatever nonsense one threw at him, as long as it played into his own plans and schemes. No the ones I’m worried about are Jessica and Tywin, being Tywin most and the Jessic less. She can be quick and dangerously alert if she wants to be, but she just doesn’t. She was to think she is, and then be catered to by all who is around her, because it’s too much work. Tywin however is another ballgame altogether. He is a former Alpha, and even if he has proven to be a dimwitted idiot while he has been here, I do not think that is who he actually is, but who he chooses to show. It’s something Cian and I agree is a problem, and something we have to eliminate soonest, which is another reason this plan is perfect. We force his hand as I work my way into my brother’s good graces bit by bit. First
Druida P.O.V.I knock, he yells come in. I open the door, walking in with no expectations whatsoever, especially not expecting to see him actually pouring over paperwork and maps with troop movements. I raise an eyebrow but don’t comment. “You’re back?” He asks, and I nod. “And?” “I got something to tell you, but first we found someone in the forest when we were on our way back. Also we lost Kennock.” “You lost Kennock?” “He lost us?” I say and he frowns. “He chose to show his true colors and I killed him. He was a fucking spy Silvan. Did you know?” “What? No..” “Good, because if you did.. Anyway, this dumb fucker says he is your brother.” I wave for Kane and one of his men to haul Lucas into the room. All color, what little he had anyway, drains from Silvan's face when he sees Lucas. Then he looks at me with suspicion, which quickly turns to a giant fucking smile. “Little brother, it’s been ages.” He says, his voice sickly sweet and I suddenly want to gag.“So, he was telling
Druida P.O.V.“I’m still not sure about this particular part of the plan.” I say for the hundred time. “You and I both know my brother is a self bastard, this is going to be playing right into his hand.” Lucas says, smirking. “I do have to agree with Lulu this time, this is actually brilliant on his part.” Cian says, raising his hands in surrender when I turn to scowl at him.I look at all the others. They are not looking at me or the guys, they are trying very hard to be a part of our surroundings and invisible. I sigh. Lucas is right, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. If Silvan gets the smallest inclination that he is playing a double game.. I shudder at the thought, crossing my arms very stubbornly and childish. “Alora, what do you think?” I ask my sister-in-law, who has been observing our exchange with amusement. “I think he is right, and I think you are overthinking this way too much.” She says, lifting an eyebrow in challenge. I throw my hands up, turn and start walk
Balder P.O.V.“How’d you guess?” She asks, and even her voice has changed. It’s darker, more sinister and void of all emotions now. “I knew it was you the moment I stepped in that room, Jade.” Illisa says, looking at her nails. “You always were a troublesome one, and I see it only got worse after I left. Does my aunt and uncle know you are in cohorts with Anicka?” The woman, Jade, spits on the floor. “They were weak, always preaching how we should be grateful for our gift of magic. Ugh! I wanted more, and they wanted to keep me chained. Anicka helped me see the potential in myself and my powers.”Illisa and Lillie exchange a look before turning their heads towards the woman again. I can feel the anger from my mate, but Cass shivers and shakes his head. “I’m not sure my mate can keep her anger under control long enough to actually get the information she needs from her cousin, she is fucking outraged.” A thought strikes me, and I ask Cass if he knows where Illisa’s family is locat
Balder P.O.V.‘Love, we are in the cellars now. Do you want to start with Garrick, Kammie or one of the unknown cohorts?’ Lillie mindlinks me. I’m impressed with how fast she went to Blackmoon and back with the three men, but then again, she is absolutely pissed off by their audacity, and I can’t blame her one bit. ‘One of the unknown, baby. I’ll be right there with Richard and the others.’ I mindlink Derek and Cassian to get down to the interrogation rooms within the cellars, and bring the girls. Illisa and Adria would never forgive me for keeping them out of the loop. Then I tell Richard to follow me as I head to the hospital before we also will go down there. He frowns at our detour, but then sighs when he sees where we’re going. “I feel bad for thinking he was a bad guy for a second.” “You couldn’t have known, but I do wonder, Richard,” I open the door for him, and let him pass me inside. “How did you communicate with him while he was.. You know.” Richard shrugs and puts his
Lucas P.O.V.To say Alora was surprised was the understatement of the century, but she took it very well, and after some more small talk, she told Druida to sleep and she would take the first watch during the night. Druida protested, but we could all see how tired she was, and all of us told her to
Druida P.O.V.Afternoon. I’m working outside, sitting crosslegged in the shade with a notepad on my legs and writing memories, new and old, dreams and reminders down when someone shouts in the distance. I look up to see Kane waving from the back entrance to the training yard, and I sigh as I close
MaddisonMidmorning, and Liam and I have slept for maybe a couple of hours. The children have been up since we went to bed, and King Cameron and Queen Sierra have been so lovely to take them and entertain them with their own girl so we could get some sleep. They said their son had briefly updated t
Cian P.O.V.As everyone on our end settles back into the chairs around the laptop on the table, the maiden stands behind her Queen, which is custom with them, I glance at the time on the top of the computer screen. It’s almost 3 in the morning, and I wonder why I do not feel more tired than I do? T
