LOGINDruida P.O.V.I told Silvan I was going to spy on the Blackmoon border for a while, which he seemed satisfied with. He even sent Lucas, still disguised as Kennock, and Kane with some of his men, with me as a precaution. As we walk the way between the camp and Blackmoon packgrounds, I have time to reflect over myself and some of the things I have seen, done and heard since coming back. Especially seeing little me, my brother and twin again. I had forgotten how happy we were as children, and I had forgotten that my brother was not always evil. Micha changed when mom and dad died, but it was not all at the same time. It was gradually, and as such, as he invited the darkness inside, he became more and more deranged from reality. Layla moved early on, wanting me to come with her into hiding, but I could not leave our pack to their destiny of being plagued with Alpha asshat and his minions without anyone fighting their case. Micha hated me in the end. He hated the fact that packmembers co
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 my notebook, concealing it with magic to look like an ordinary book on defense magic. If anyone but me looks inside they will see pages filled with dull words about boring movements, spells and warding for beginners and more advanced in the end of the ‘book’. I was asked this morning if I would be able to train some of the warriors who are showing magical potential, and said yes because I know the alternative is Elisa and she is not getting her grimy paws on individuals she can suck dry for magic before they can ward themselves against her. I look to the sky as I feel Alora’s presence hover above me, and see nothing but skies coming together in dark grey masses. “It looks like it’s going t
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 them on the situation at hand, and they are offering warriors to escort us home. I’m very grateful, but we already have a plan ready in that regard. Lilliana. She is going to make a portal in the outside courtyard at noon, and we are going to walk straight through that and into the packhouse back at Blackmoon.We eat a quiet brunch in our room, neither of us awake enough to say much. Liam keeps glancing at the notes he made last night/early this morning, and I just concentrate on getting food in my system and not throwing it up again. This little one is not a fan of food at any time during the day, and if she is then only certain items, but I have to get something down. Yes, we are having a g
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? The thought does not linger though as Luna Maddison clears her throat. “I think we’re ready for that story now, scribe Josin, and then it’s off to be with all of us. We can regroup in the morning before Liam, the kids and I travel back home with Queen Yrina and Anilop.”“Right. Well, everything started when former Elder Garrick approached scribe Kammie who is placed right besides me in the scribe quarters. He apparently is of the impression that neither woman nor man can work and listen at the same time, and Kammie never thought I would do anything about what they were speaking about.” He sighs, shaking his head. “She has always been that kind of woman who you got everything in writing with,
Lucas P.O.V.“Crown Prince Lucas, may I have a word?” Alpha Liam asks coming down the hallway where my quarters are placed. It’s late, and I was on my way to bed, but the urgency in his eyes has me halting and I nod to him.“What can I do for you, Alpha Liam?” I ask, turning fully. Over his shoulder I can see his mate and Cian waiting down the hall, both of them looking in our direction. Cian makes eye contact with me, and for a moment I feel his emotions as if they were my own. Anger, determination and slight amusement. What a mix, and then they’re gone as if they were never there. The bond is getting stronger, and I do not know what to feel about that? Cian is still my mate's other mate, and not mine in any way, and this is just confusing as hell. “We received word from our pack tonight, and it’s disturbing. My brother-in-law is the Alpha of Iron Mountain..”“Alpha Balder?” “Then one and the same. I forgot you met him and Lillie already.” I nod, waiting for him to go on. He takes
Balder P.O.V.Derek and Adria told me they arrived safely at the vampire Court, and then kept me updated throughout the events. When I got the call about what had almost happened to my nephew and nieces I was livid, but I could do nothing from Iron Mountain. We agreed they would go in our stead because we would keep the borders safe with Beta Kendrick and the other ranked members in Blackmoon. So far it had been quiet, but none of us were putting our guards down, we know it’s just a question about time. Derek then texted me about a ritual and the cliffsnote version of what it stood for. He wanted to make sure he had authorization to do such a thing. “He is a cautious one.” Lillie comments from my side, reading over my shoulder. I nod, kissing her cheek and answering he has the power to do what is best for the pack and we back him and Adria a hundred percent. “I know, but he is damned good at his job, and I would have sought my Alpha’s permission with something as out of context as
