INICIAR SESIÓNMore insight into Henry's life..........
Henry POVThe whole pack quickly turned to the battle of who gets to meet Azalea first. The news of the luna of the oracle arriving in Red Ivy spread like wildfire, and they all wanted to see for themselves. The excited chatter made my stomach turn every time I heard the whispers as I passed by the pack houses.The children spoke of her as if she were a thousand years old, or the moon goddess reincarnated, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the far irony. But it goes without saying: family gets the privilege first, and Mama Brooke had called dibs since we implanted Azalea weeks ago. It was as if she just knew. Gotta love Mama Brooke.But I didn't want to share her with the whole pack yet; I wanted her to myself for more than a few minutes before she got absorbed in Luna frolicking and duties. My mum was always busy with some initiative for the women and children in the pack for all the years I knew her, and I would find my dad cooking up a disaster for dinner when she wasn't around. I
Henry's POV'Alpha!' I hear through the link after what feels like eternity sorting through generations of wolves.'Talk to me, Mal.''She's awake.' I hear him say, Didn't need any more words from him before dashing through the wind to the pack hospital."That was fast." He chuckles as I arrive. "You beat your past record by 0.2 seconds.""How is she?" I ask him again, ignoring his attempts at a joke."She is very stable now; her vitals have improved drastically since this afternoon. It's almost a mystery because she did not need any of the blood we planned on using; her body replenished itself."Atta girl! That’s my fighter. Without waiting for his approval, I pushed the double doors open slowly as if trying not to startle her. But she jumped either way as soon as it opened. I could hear her tiny gasp from under her breath as our eyes met. I felt her energy wrap around me instantly; she was much more powerful than she was before she was taken to Black Lotus, but I could feel her weak
Henry's POV*Disclaimer: contains violence, drugs and gunsGunfire erupted behind us as Black Lotus soldiers flooded the chamber."Extraction compromised!" Gray shouted through comms. "You’ve got company everywhere!"We fought claws to bullets to teeth. I tried so hard to push my powers back, but I've been on the edge for so long it threatened to take over. Usually I don't resort to it until the very last because we could get too many casualties, my own fighters in the mix. But through the chaos, I caught it, although faint; her scent came through the world of blood and raw flesh. Her scent was strong, so much richer than I've ever gotten a whiff of her. "I've got her," I breathed. "She's close" "Where?" Ryder demanded. I ignore his question; I know she is close but I don't know how close that is or where it is in this god forsaken camp. I let my nose guide me as we cut through the chaos unto a crossroad near the subway. "Emma," I growled through the link. "Where is she?"Her voice
AZALEA'S POV "uhhh." I stuttered, looking back at Lexa and Justin on the bench."You're not one of Black Lotus, are you?" an older kid, probably about Justin's age or 15, came to the window."Did they do this?" I asked.Were these the children the doctor mentioned earlier? I look back into the room, and there are at least 40 of them in there. I pursed my lips, looking back at the bleak faces of my siblings and the hopelessness in the eyes of the children before me.'Goddess, this would create so many problems,'But I couldn't possibly leave them here and selfishly leave. I would never be able to forgive myself.There was no door handle on the door or keyhole for a key, which is expected in Black Lotus."How many of you are in there?" I asked shakingly.They did a rough head count as fast as they could. My heart sank at the cruel reality that could have happened to Justin and Lexa if Red Fire hadn't planned the emergency exit after Blue Ivy was set on fire."Okay, okay" I mumbled to my
Henry's POVWe arrived at the last noticeable location on Azalea's chip, stealthily each soldier dropped from the glider blending into the greens immediately. We all knew the plan, each team knew what to do and in a matter of minutes I would be reunited with my flower, and of course have Ray's head.The sky was still bruised purple, the forest wrapped in thick silence. One by one, my soldiers dropped from the glider, disappearing into the trees like ghosts. We had trained for this.I landed last.The drone went before us, scouting the perimeter for any change we didn't account for. I set up my snipper and good old fashioned binoculars confirming the security was just as we had predicted. I lay flat against the damp earth, binoculars pressed to my eyes. From a distance, it looked harmless, abandoned warehouses, rusted roofs, broken windows.A lie so clean it was almost beautiful."Perimeter matches projection," I whispered.More accurately with the help of Emma, she had another vision b
AZALEA'S POVThe ringing in my head had become a constant companion; I couldn't afford to be weak. We had been running for what felt like 5 years but was actually 5 minutes when a sudden blaring went out. That means trouble. If anything, The Hunger Games and other sci-fi movies have taught me that loud, blaring red sounds mean absolute trouble."No, it was through here." Lexa again for the 20th time since we left the room.We pushed through another set of revolving doors, leading us back across the room I was kept in, and she began to panic.Just like clockwork, a rumble of marching feet reached my ears. They found us.Without another thought, we began to run the other way. When I felt like we were far enough, I punched the lock on the door by the right open, and a voice came through the automated lock, which whined in a series of jumbled machine error words. I shoved Lexa into a room as the door opened by a fraction.The goddess was definitely helping us because we seemed to have bust
AZALEA POV "Don't you dare fucking touch him!" I shouted, my face red with fury. Lexa starts shouting through the duct tape too."No more shit like that, alright?" He grabs my face with force as if trying to break my jawline.I can only glare at him as he breaks into another monstrous smile. The do
AZALEA'S POVThe whole camp were whispering around me as I walked. I hated being the center of attraction like this, but its what it had come to. I didn't really care, I cared that I had impressed Alpha Henry who thought I was weak. But the consequence that comes with impressing him. Sigh."Just the w
HENRY'S POV"Psst." Harper, one of my guards on patrol nudges the other as feisty walks out of her tent once again. Baths have been reduced to once in two days because the regions are getting colder and we are finding less water bodies as we travel.At this point, I just want to be home in my own bed
AZALEA'S POV"Wake her up Azalea, she's your wolf, wake her up!."I try to concentrate, reaching into the deeps of my mind, finding my happy place, solitude in the mist of a ragging war, stupid right?.But I then hear Eloise cry out again, a large wolf on top of her, blood all over her. I see mom fight
