ALPHA CONNOR'S POV I began running to the North side of the territory, as fast as my legs would take me. And the warriors with me, they were getting left behind. They were having trouble keeping up with me. But I didn't care. I needed to get there. The warrior didn't tell me what kind of shape Aurora was in. I didn't want to ask. He never said if she was alive or dead. Maybe he found her body and he didn't know how to tell me. He sounded very strange when he spoke to me in the mind link. Like there was more going on then him just finding Aurora. My heart was almost beating out of my chest the whole time I was running to get to them. The worst images going through my head. I couldn't help it. Everyone always imagines the worst. And that was no different here. The warrior didn't give me any information and I was scared to death. If he had alerted me to her using a different tone then maybe I would know what I was walking into. But he didn't. So, whatever he has seen, it's not normal.
AURORA'S POV At the strike of midnight, my 16th birthday, I was completely unaware that it was my birthday and I opened my eyes standing in the middle of the forest. How did I get here? The last thing I remembered was Vera attacking me in Connor's house. I vaguely remember being in a hospital. But that was it. I felt my stomach and I looked down because it wasn't as flat as it usually was. It was still flat, but at least my ribs weren't sticking out anymore. I actually had a little bit of fat on me. How the hell did that happen? How long was I in that hospital? And the dress that I was wearing. It was white and beautiful and when the wind picked up it would flow with the wind and it felt amazing. I looked around me and it was the middle of the night. I could see the full moon in the sky above me but I had no memory of getting to the forest. I looked down at myself and I felt different. I didn't feel weak. I looked at my hair and it was thick and beautiful. And for a moment, I t
Connor insisted that I go to the hospital and see Dr. Evelyn to get checked out. But she couldn't find anything wrong with me. Not only were my stab wounds completely gone, but the scars that my father left on my body were gone too. Not just the whip marks, but every single scar that he had inflicted on me over the last 15 years were completely gone. No one could explain it. But I wasn't complaining. I have never felt this strong. I have never felt this confident. It was surreal. And I was loving every minute of it. Connor never left my side for a second, as you can imagine. But I didn't mind. I liked having him right there. I needed him right there. I didn't want him to leave my side for a second. And now I knew that he never would. When I felt that bond snap into place, it was like something I could never explain. It was like my soul, that was completely shattered before, he put back together and completed it. When Dr. Evelyn said that I was alright to leave the hospital then I
“Do you still think that Alpha William is not a bad guy?" I asked. "There's no way that he did this." Lincoln yelled back. "Then who the fuck did?" I yelled. The dragon then opened its mouth and Connor grabbed me and we started running as fire came spewing out of its mouth. Our warriors were ordered to retreat and we had to find somewhere to hide where the dragon couldn't find us, or see us. Everyone separated and were told to meet back at the pack when they were sure that it was safe. Connor and I headed in a different direction, Connor holding my hand as we were running through the woods, narrowly escaping the fire from the beast that seemed to have it's sights set on us. It was following us, but when I turned to look I noticed that it was looking at Connor. I think it was trying to kill Connor before it killed me. Connor still had a hold of my hand as he jumped over a fallen tree in the middle of the forest, but we didn't see the big drop on the other side of the fallen tree.
As soon as I reached Connor I dropped to my knees and I reached out to protect us with my hand, but the flames never reached us. Connor looked up first and I was still crouching down with my face hidden in his chest. "Aurora. Look." Connor says. And I put my head up to have a look. My hand that was raised had formed some sort of protective shield that was reflecting the dragon's fire. It wasn't breaking through at all and it was protecting Connor and me. I looked at him in shock and the dragon looked more and more pissed off as it wasn't breaking through the shield until it finally gave up and it turned to fly away. I put my hand down and I stared at it in shock. I couldn't move. I didn't know what the hell just happened and I was still sitting on the ground not knowing what to do. Connor had to shake me out of that state and he grabbed my hand and pulled me up on my feet. "We have to go. Before it comes back." Connor says right in my face. And I simply nodded my head. So he he
I was hanging off the side of that cliff with the Black witch looking down on me. Knowing that she was the one doing all of this to me, I felt a really strong arm wrap around my waist and a warm body pressed against me and I turned to see Connor had climbed back up, to stop me from falling. He saw the witch standing there too and let out a growl, but then he focused on what we needed to do. He started climbing back down slowly, while his body was shielding me and I know that it definitely couldn't have been easy for him. He was a lot bigger than me, but he still had his entire body protecting me while we were climbing down the cliff. I couldn't help but wonder how he didn't fall himself. But we made it most of the way down and that's when we heard the crashing of the water below us. And Connor grabbed both of my hands from behind me and he kicked off from the cliff until we landed in the water. But he still had a hold of both of my hands and he wasn't letting go of me for anything.
"Golems. Like 'The Lord Of The Rings'?" I asked. "No. These are the real ones. And they are a lot worse." Connor says, grabbing my hand and running off the path and straight into the forest, dodging every tree in the way. I looked behind me as we were running and these little creatures were running after us. And they were a lot faster than I would have imagined. They were gaining on us and they weren't getting tired like I was. So I stopped and pulled my hand out of Connor's hand. "What are you doing?" He asked. "I am not running away from a bunch of little ass gnomes." I say looking around and picking up a reasonably sized branch. The creatures reached us in no time and I started swinging the branch at them and they would crumble the second I hit them. So the rest scattered, so that they could surround us. Connor picked up his own branch and started fighting them off, but one of them managed to climb a tree and jumped on me from above. It landed on my shoulder and when I looke
The entire Protector's pack joined in and attacked the ogre from all angles until it started screaming and yelping in pain. It was obvious that the thing couldn't talk but it couldn't take on the whole pack. So it started kicking away all of the wolves and backing away so that it could get away from us and it started running back towards the trees. Where it came from. The wolf pack started howling in victory but I looked over and I saw Connor looking back at me. "What's wrong?" I mind linked Connor. "How can you mind link with me? You haven't been initiated into the pack yet." Connor says. "I'm royalty. I can mind link with any wolf." I say calmly. Like it's something that I have always known. But really, it was just something that I had come to know since I turned 16. Since I changed completely. "Well, you are one hell of a beautiful wolf." He approached me. And I saw the rest of the pack leaving to give us some privacy. "What do I look like?" I asked. "You're white. With a
