Troy’s POV
The second I saw Silvia I was in complete shock.
Not only is she absolutely beautiful like Octavia but I recognized her as one of the Lunas that helped my mum when she was struggling with her element.
She really hasn’t aged a day at all, with her tanned skin covered in Viking tattoo, porcelain white long wavy hair, green eyes, and toned figure, she could easily pass for Octavia’s older sister. They are even similar in height.
It makes me wonder how old she actually is, and why she hasn’t aged.
I’m a little surprised when she tells me she helped my father on his crazy manhunts but from what I have heard she is a fierce warrior, so I’m not overly surprised my dad asked her for help.
And now I am to marry her daughter, that has multiple elements.
Small world huh.
“Where is Elijah?” I hear Octavia ask her mother and I snap out of my daze.
“He is collecting our bags. Since the rest of the family will be ar
Octavia’s POV After hearing about my uncle at the restaurant, everything was happening so quickly I was struggling to control my emotions and powers. Thank the goddess Elijah is here helping remain calm, though it’s not quite as effective as Troy. For some reason just touching him calms me down. So, when we get back to the packhouse and witness the chaos, I slip my hand in to his and instantly feel better. So weird but right now I’m not questioning it. Mum tells Elijah to find Miranda ‘Mira’s namesake’ and to get me ready. I knew this was coming, Elijah mind linked me in the restaurant that she might need my powers as well to help. I notice Troy tense at the mention of my name, and I signal him not to say anything, I don’t need my mother murdering him right now. When she is in her battle mode its best not to interrupt her, if you want to live that is. “O sweetheart, its time” my mother says. I nod and go to move towards her and the tut
Troy’s POV “What the hell is going on?” everything looked like it was going well… well I mean it all looked rather strange from our point of view; both Octavia and Silvia were silent, kneeling over Ragnar’s body with their hands out, Octavia’s eyes were a mixture of purple and blue and Silvia’s were completely white, but then, out of nowhere Octavia drops to the ground and the skies turned dark with rain pouring down on us all. I tried to go to her, but Uhtred held me back and said, “No don’t disturb her, she has connected my mother to the link, she can’t heal him, they are saying goodbye.” I stop resisting, this must be why Octavia is losing control, her emotions are too strong. “Everybody, get inside and out of this rain. If she loses complete control, she will drown us all.” Uhtred bellows out to everyone, but I can’t move, I’m just standing here staring at Octavia’s limp body on the ground. I’m snapped out of my daze when suddenly Silvia a
Octavia’s POV I can tell Troy is a little uncomfortable and wants to give us space, but mum is right I do need him. After he picked me up, I started to feel better and so did Piper, I could feel my powers subsiding inside me which is a good thing because I have no idea what would have happened if I completely lost control instead of passing out. Which by the way was super humiliating, I don’t think I have ever passed out like that before. Anyway, I’m glad he didn’t run for the hills and chose to stay by me, though I have a feeling my mother had a hand in that as well. “Oh no. Mum! Who is going to take Uncle Ragnar’s place on the throne?” I remember what he said to my mother about Uhtred and… Breda was it? She exchanges glances with Troy and Uhtred, they look unsure of something. “Mum I’m fine, truly, we have a lot to discuss like who the fuck is Breda and why I know nothing about her?” I sit up still holding Troy’s hand for comfort.
Troy’s POV I can sense this news has Octavia on edge, I don’t blame her, it has put me a little on edge too. My father speaks up “Is there anyone that can confirm this ‘Damon’ isn’t your brother? It would be helpful to know if he is in fact still alive or not.” “I will have to do it myself, see him with my own eyes. If it is indeed my brother maybe I can speak with him and find out what he wants.” Alpha Lucian replies and I can see Silvia’s anger rising, her wolf trying to push through. “Absolutely not. You will not go there alone. I just lost my brother and sister in-law, both fierce warriors. If this ‘Damon’ can get the jump on them and kill with no remorse what makes you think he wouldn’t do the same to you.” Silvia speaks with so much anger and pain we all take a collective step back from her unsure of how this will end. “Silvia. We are not having this discussion right now. I will catch the first flight tomorrow with the kids and we can send Ragnar off the traditional way. The
Octavia’s POV After Troy left with his dad, I went looking for Harper, she has had Nicklaus all day and I miss him. I find them in his nursery cuddled up looking through some picture books. “Hey there’s my two favourite wolves.” Harper looks up at the sound of my voice and gives me a small smile, “Hey, how are you feeling?” “I’m ok just tired” I sit down and take Nicklaus for a cuddle, “Faith wants to do a family games and movie night tonight but I don’t think I have the energy.” I say yawning. “Faith is here?” she asks a little surprised. I realized she missed the meeting and probably doesn’t know what’s going on, so I tell her everything including what my mother told me about Breda and my brother, with faith potentially being his Mate. “Wow. That’s intense, no wonder your so exhausted. I can come up with an excuse if you want to sit this one out and rest.” I eye her, she knows damn well I can’t get out of family night. “Maybe we can do it tomorrow when your dad gets here… might
Troy’s POV This morning was… I can’t even put it into words, it was too good I think I’m falling for Octavia, she is literally the definition of perfect. Now that I’ve had a taste of her, I can’t stop I want… no, I need more, I will never get enough of her. She continues to surprise me and I can’t wait to see what else she has in store for me. I reach the hall not long after Octavia and I hear Uhtred giving her shit about being late, then I see realization written all over his face when he sees me. Crap. This might be a bit awkward. My father greets me with a smirk on his face. Yea this is embarrassing, I feel like a teenager again. My father’s eyes glaze over for a moment. “They are here now.” I see Octavia’s face go white, she looks like she’s freaking out. I take her hand and lead her to the front door with my dad and Uhtred behind us. “Hey where’s little monkey?” i ask trying to distract Octavia a little. “He is with Harper and Faith getting him ready for the day.” Uhtred r
Octavia’s POV It feels weird waking up alone, I was just starting to get used to waking up next to Troy, though I didn’t actually get much sleep. I had a dream about my uncle, Ragnar, he came to me and told me there was a prophecy and that I must remain calm, and all will be revealed after my birthday. I tried to ask him questions but every time I opened my mouth to speak nothing came out, it was as if I was put on mute. I woke up feeling really confused and just put it down to being over-tired. It’s still pretty early so I decide to go for a run, I haven’t let Piper out since I got here, and she has been a bit restless lately. I walk out to the clearing in the forest, still in my pyjamas, since it’s like five thirty am there is no one around yet… at least that’s what I thought. I shift stretching out my limbs and let Piper take the reins while I ride backseat and watch as she runs and leaps over logs, sniffing a few trees, rolling around, until suddenly the hair in our fur stands
Troy’s POV Running back to the Packhouse with Octavia on my back, I can’t help but feel her pain, I couldn’t imagine losing my wolf it would devastate me to no end. I ask Kole if he might know how to bring Piper and their elements back, “It’s an old witches spell, you will need to find a witch to help. But Troy, you need to do it before she turns eighteen otherwise, I fear she won’t be able to be Marked.” I sigh this is turning out to be an even longer day than I thought, and the sun is only just coming up now. We reach the clearing, and the others are changing back into their clothes, but I decide to keep going and take Octavia straight to her room, I don’t think she can walk right now, she’s been crying the whole way back and I don’t want to humiliate her by carrying her bridal style through the Packhouse so I wolf speed to her room. We get to her door and I lay down so she can hop off my back then I shift back opening the door for her. I’m not sure if there is anything I can d
