~Amber~Raven's answer was echoing in my mind. There was no way for me to stop them, I hadn't expected there to not be a single way. I bit down and started composing different scenarios in my head of what might happen and how I could win but it didn't end well in any of them. โThey aren't just regular vampires, Amber, theyโre royals. They've been around for a long time and learned to adjust to the things that can harm them. They're stronger, faster, and more dangerous than your regular vampire.โโSure, but there has to be some way to win over them, right? I mean, they can't be immortal,โโTheyโre not,โ โSo what can I do?โโNothing, Amber, there is nothing you can do. They have the upper hand in every way. If you want Malia back, you need a thoroughly thought-out plan. You can't just barge in their head first and believe that you'll get out alive just because youโre a strong werewolf, itโs not how it works. Your strength can be measured with other werewolves but not with another spec

~Amber~Back home it felt like everything had changed, the air was different, the walls didn't look the same and everything felt as though it was a dream. A nightmare from which I would wake up, see Malia's face next to me, hear Avery's laugh, and know that everything was okay with the people I loved. But it wasn't, it wasn't a dream, this was reality and this was the moment when nothing would be the same again.โSpill.โ Alex demanded angrily as he slumped down on one of the recliners in the communal area. I walked over to the bar and took two bottles of whiskey, a few glasses, and walked over to where everyone was gathered. I placed the glasses and one of the bottles on the table. I snapped the head off of the other bottle and poured myself a big glass, chugging it all down in one go before pouring myself another one and sitting down on the couch.โHe had a message.โ I said and saw how everyone turned and faced me with the utmost focus.The words were forming on my tongue but I fe

~Avery~I was moving my lips, shaking my head but the words wouldn't form. I couldn't speak because I didn't know what to say. Even though I desperately wanted to say something, I couldn't, because the words I wanted to say wouldn't have been honest.โWhat is happening?โ Amber's voice was shaky and quiet. She sounded scared.โI donโt know,โ I said. It felt as though those were the only words able to leave my lips. โDo you remember all the good times we had?โ Amber asked me while eyeing me cautiously.โHonestly?โ I asked and she nodded her head"Yes," She said and so I continued. โNo,โ I whispered. โI mean I remember the moments when everything was good, or at least not as messed up as they are now but I don't remember what it felt like, I don't remember the feeling of being happy.โ I said and watched as Amber's head slowly bobbed up and down and she removed her eyes from me. โHonestyโs a bitch,โ she spat and stared at the wall. โYeah, but itโs a bitch that weโve all been neglecti

~Avery~I was still in Amber's room, lying on her bed and staring pointlessly up at the ceiling. Amber had gone off to find Raven about some matter that she didnโt want to talk about. She said that she needed to do it alone and I was glad, I still didnโt feel like facing everyone. The second I left this room and someone saw me, I knew theyโd want to talk and I wasn't ready for it. I had nothing to say to them yet but I hoped that I would one day. I just needed to find the words and figure out what I was feeling.My hands were laying on my bump, slowly caressing the surface. I dipped down into the mattress and felt it tightening around my body, I knew that getting up would be a mission.Slowly, my eyes began to drift and I felt my body relaxing. It was as though I had no control over it, I couldnโt stay awake, I couldnโt force my eyes open. So instead, I let my mind shut down and I drifted off into a deep sleep.The walls around me were a bright pearl-white color, and the floor and c

~Avery~โHow can you say that?โ I was yelling, unable to hide the rage that was stirring within me.โYouโre not the victim, youโre the one that they have been bending over backward to protect. Did they go about it the right way? Maybe not. But Alex is heartbroken, thinking heโs lost you forever and blaming both himself and his brother for it. Natasha and James are guilt-ridden, the Alpha is failing in his duties and has been for quite some time because his main focus has been you. Youโre not the victim. They have set aside any and all other obligations to try and help you reach your fullest potential so that the day that hundreds of people come to kill you, you will be able to defend yourself. The pack members are suffering from a lack of leadership, but you havenโt seen that. Youโve seen their smiles, and the happiness they display, but you havenโt seen the anxiety that befalls them once the door is closed and they are with their loved ones. You have seen what they wanted you to see

โI know of a book that might have some information about your mate bond and how it works, itโs at the library back home. Once this is over, I will go and get it and see what I can find.โ Natasha said and my eyes lit up. A book that might give us the answers we need.โGo back and be with Avery but donโt tell her about the book, I donโt want her to worry about this too.โโExcuse me?โ I yelled.โYou son of a bitch!โ I continued, wishing she could see and hear me right now.โThough sheโs a daughter of one, not a son,โ Crow said, looking absolutely serious. I stared at Crow in disbelief but scoffed and shook my head.โHow much are they hiding from me?โ I asked him.โTheyโre not hiding anything, theyโre withholding information. Thereโs a difference.โ Crow said. I turned around and faced him. A look of disbelief was plastered on my face, whatever he said seemed to leave me in the same state. โAre you serious?โ I asked him and he nodded his head. I had no wordsโฆโBut if this was a memory,

~Avery~โI donโt get it. So whoever this person is, has hands-on experience with vampires. But she or he could see their end? How can anyone for-see the future?โ I asked in shock as I read over the words one more time. Lydia was weirdly quiet, she looked to be thinking about something, trying to make sense of this but there was more behind her eyes. She was shaking her head and her lips were moving silently. โLydia?โโI have no idea, letโs continue reading,โ she said and flipped the page. This one had the crown symbol on the bottom left corner.โThe embodiment of regal poise. The queen to rule over endless pain who shall meet her faith in the hands of trust. For no one creature is truly immortal, a balance must be made, a life for another or two on the hands of each other a balance will be restored, peace will be set free again.โโAre they talking about-โโRaven,โ Lydia answered.No one is immortal, everyone can be killed.But killed in the hands of trust, two killed by each other.

~Amber~โA girl who will protect her family, and those she loves, from harm. She will reach her full potential, she will fight, and she will win,โ she said with a sad smile. โAveryโฆโ I said quietly. I wanted her to stop talking. I didn't like where this was going. โA girl who's mate was never meant for her. Their forever had already been decided to not last very long. A love that been bound and sealed, a love that will fade with time unless they pay what they owe.โโYour marriageโฆโ I breathed out. โA girl who will win a war, beloved by her family and her mate,โ โPlease stop,โ I said. โAbout a girl who is not meant to survive the war she wins. For she must fall for the others to live,โ Avery whispered.โWhy?โ I asked her. I felt how angry I was getting and I needed to control myself. โI was never meant to live a long life, Amber. I was born with a purpose, I was born to kill the queen and give my life to make sure that those I love are safe. I am meant to kill Raven,โ she said.

When Amber and James returned, we met them downstairs. Amber looked in awe as Malia walked toward her. Alex and his mate came down the stairs, he was holding Isabella and all three of them looked amazing.Alex had taken his role of uncle as an absolute. There wasn't a day that had gone by without him holding her or making sure that she was alright. No one else had been able to hold her, nobody outside the family, he and James were very alike in that aspect. Very protective.โYou look beautiful,โ Amber said breathlessly as she wrapped her arms around Malia.I bit my bottom lip and hooked my arm with Jamesโs.We walked to the clearing where Lisa, Jackson, Trisha, Raven, Lucas Lydia, and Micheal were waiting. Amber wiped away a tear as she saw what we had done.โOh wow,โ Amber said.โIt looks amazing,โ James whispered in my ear. Malia guided Amber onto the cliff and grabbed her hands. โThere is nothing I can say that will ever measure up to how I feel about you, but I promise to show

1 week later. A week had gone by since the war, Amber had adjusted quite well to the life of a vampire. The one thing that had been the hardest and continued to be was the fact that Stella was gone. Amber told me how she sometimes tries to communicate with her wolf but then remembers that sheโs alone, there's no one in her mind anymore. I know the feeling, I had only had Xena for a few months and had gotten so used to having her there, the biggest difference was however the fact that I got my wolf back, Amber wasn't going to get Stella back. She had nailed almost every vampire โsuper powerโ there was, including speed, coercion, healing, and strength.Amber was now the one teaching Lucas, who wasn't as thrilled that the student had become the teacher but he seemed happy nevertheless with the bond he had created with Amber. Damien, my brother, had grown close to Alex, the two were running together, playing pool, and whatnot. Alex and his mate seemed inseparable and the big red bite

Maybe turning you was selfish, because we wanted you to live, but letting you die wasn't an option.โ Malia said sternly and let go of Amber's hand. โSo, this will take time and it will be painful and hard but we will get through this. We will help you, Raven will help you adjust to this new life but in the meantime, nobody is going anywhere. We are all here with you,โ Raven cleared her throat. โI actually have to go back, I do have my own responsibilities in my clan,โ she

Raven squatted down next to Amber and cleared away her hair from her neck. She lowered her head, her fangs extended, and just as she was about to bite into Amber's neck, her eyes rose and she looked up at James through her lashes. She then punctured Amber's skin, sinking her fangs into her flesh and releasing the poison.When Raven pulled back, we were all standing and watching them. โNow what?โ I asked when she stood again. โNow we wait for her to die.โ Raven said and wiped her mouth with her thumb then sucked the blood off it. I winced and Lydia hulked.โWhat? I'm a vampire, remember,โ she said and rolled her eyes. Raven didn't feed on humans, only blood bags so this mustโve been euphoric for her. I walked to the pool table and placed my hands on the surface, leaning back against it. I wasn't going anywhere, not until we found out how Amber would be.She'd wake up, but as a vampire, everything would be different. Werewolves are taught to hate vampires. Always have been, and pro

Lydia came as well and seeing her was such a relief but we didn't have the time to relish in it for too long. William nodded his head towards me. โHer.โ He said and all eyes turned on me. โHer what?โ I asked him. โYou can help her.โโHelp Amber? How?

We were heading home to the pack house, I was holding our child and James was walking beside me. It didn't feel real, I didn't know when reality would hit and this would feel normal, perhaps it never would but nevertheless, we had created a life. As we walked into the house it was quiet except for some hushed whispers. We walked into the common area and saw everyone in our family sitting around, waiting.Amber was the first one to come up, she covered her mouth with her hands and looked down on the baby. โOh my goddess, you made this,โ She said in awe. I laughed and James smiled. Amber held her in her arms and Alex came up to meet his niece.โWhatโs her name?โ He asked. I looked at James.โIsabella-โ I said. โIsabella Lilly Knight.โ Alex and Amber both looked at us. Amber gazed at her brother, wiping away a tear.โYour sister and our mother.โ She said and nodded her head before watching Isabella again. โItโs perfect,โ she said. โWe never truly met, I'm Chelsea,โ It was Alexโs

I didnโt look at James, I already knew the death glare he was throwing Williams way and I didn't want him to see the fear in my eyes. I kept my gaze locked on William, he wasn't bothered by James in the slightest. Both me and James knew that this had to be done, there was no other way and if going through this pain was what I had to do to save my baby girl, then I would and I knew that deep down James did too. I heard a low growl, one that turned all heads to the Alpha. โItโs okay, James, you know it is,โ I said quietly and looked at him. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were hooded but a slight nod, one so small that I would've missed it if I hadn't looked carefully, said everything I needed to know. โLetโs do this,โ I said and looked at William.His gruff expression didn't change, his head was still lowered, his eyes looking up at me through his lashes and his long hair fluttered in the breeze.William closed his eyes, he inhaled, his chest rising and his head lifted.He opened

I felt the power surge through me, having to push away the thought of what the magic was feeding off. โIโm so sorry,โ I whispered to my baby. I felt my hands heating up, reaching my fingertips and I placed them over his heart. The darkness was consuming, it embodied me and I allowed it, allowed it to take whatever it wanted as long as it brought me back my brother. โLook,โ Amber whispered through her tears to Raven. My eyes were closed but I felt it, I felt his pain, his life, his threads of existence and I healed it. I heard a breath and felt his heart beginning to beat slowly, his blood circling, and then I opened my eyes. Alex was watching me with hooded eyes, his shaking hand came up and his fingers wrapped around my hands, squeezing them tightly.I cried even harder. โYou promised you wouldn't leave me again,โ I cried and saw how the tears fell from his eyes.Alex's lip tugged upwards but he didn't have the energy to fully smile.

I drew the fire and had it circling us all, the flames were cutting into thin air and moving vigorously around the enemies. With one hand I raised a shield over Amber and Malia and urged Alex to get himself and his mate behind it. But he was hurt, Alex was still bleeding and his face had turned pale and his lips were blue. Raven saw what I tried to do and with her speed, she grabbed Alex and placed him by his sister and then his mate. I held up the shield but Nicholas looked awfully cocky. Something I didn't like. โYou think youโre the only witch around here?โ He asked and brought forward a man, long white hair, obsidian eyes, and an altogether dark expression.He raised his hands, circling them before pushing them up against the sky. The flames were uncontrolled, they were slashing at everything, including my own people. One of the flames cut through the shield and I heard Alex scream. It had hit his mate, her face was burnt.I circled my hands again, regaining control but only f
