LOGIN"I thought they did something", Drake spoke into Talia’s hair, the cracking voice reflected his unstable emotions. "Your body was here, but you weren’t. I couldn’t reach you. I couldn’t reach you."Talia hugged him with all her might. "I’m here. I’m back.", she assured him.Talia was holding onto Drake, so she could feel his whole body shaking. Talia was not sure how to calm him down, so she stayed like that and patted his back.’Liseli?’, Talia called.’I’m here.’’What happened?’’The necklace’s power got activated when you put it on. It enveloped your consciousness, making you feel like you were somewhere else.’’Can we make it happen again?’, Talia asked. She wanted to replay what she heard and confirm she didn’t miss anything. And there was also the point of a recorded message. What if there was more?’I’m not sure.’, Liseli responded. She could hear Talia’s thoughts, so she had a good idea of what happened while Talia was in the white void. ’It reminds me of how we share mental
Talia heard Drake calling for her, his voice getting lost in the distance, and she wanted to respond, but she found herself paralyzed, unable to make a sound.What the hell happened?She felt weightless, without the ability to sense anything other than the coolness on her chest caused by the pendant that was resting there."There are no signs of trackers... What are you doing?", an unknown male voice was heard.Talia tried to figure out where the voice was coming from, but she couldn’t move or feel her body parts. As much as her sight covered, everything was white without a single ripple in space. Was the man talking to her?"I recorded a message for Natalia.", a female voice responded.Talia was alerted. Was the woman talking about her?"Is it still recording?", the male spoke again."It will stop in a second. Take this with you and make sure Natalia gets it. Once she is of age, the message will play. It is for her ears only.""Why does it sound like you are saying goodbye?", the mal
Drake and Talia spent most of the day in meetings where their discussion about portals and asking witches for help expanded into talk about current issues. Keith, Liam, Meg, and Kai joined them in the study to exchange ideas about training warriors.It was later in the afternoon when one of Oracle’s helpers came to ask about the ceremony that they were all reminded about the feast and the pack run, so they dispersed to get ready.Talia was sitting in front of a massive dressing table and looking into the mirror to see her reflection with Drake standing behind her while tending to her hair with an intense focus like it was the most important thing in the world.Drake and Talia were taking their time, and not rushing the therapeutic experience.Talia loved the small smile at the corner of Drake’s lips that was there whenever he combed her hair. It was a ritual they did in silence.She enjoyed the soft tugs on her scalp as the comb ran through her hair, and Drake was lost in the memories
When Yasmin, Cornelia, Axel, and James entered the study, they found Talia and Drake talking in a good mood."Are we interrupting?", Yasmin asked."No, no", Talia said while waving at the newcomers to come in. "We were just discussing ideas to present to Evanora once we go to the Silver Flame Coven." There was the whole plan brewing about connecting two packs, but Talia didn’t want to announce it, knowing that it might spark a debate for hours.Talia observed Axel who was hovering around Yasmin. He was putting pillows behind her back and offering her beverages and snacks, and Talia felt sorry for him.Talia knew that Axel had a happy childhood, and she could see the disappointment in his eyes when he looked at his parents. She thought how it was sad that they exposed their ugly faces. Instead of being a happy family, they were drifting away. Wasn’t all that Talia’s fault? If not for her, Axel would still think highly of his parents, and the three of them would be hovering around Yasmi
Talia couldn’t believe that so much time had passed since Sophia and Isaac became Alphas, yet they didn’t find out what happened with their own family members. And it’s not that they didn’t have any results, but they didn’t try at all.Even if the chances of Valerian being alive were slim, and Sophia didn’t care to look for him because she feared he would take over her spot, how come Sophia didn’t look for her parents? Was Sophia afraid that her parents won’t approve of her as the Alpha? Or was there another reason?Talia couldn’t understand the reasoning behind Sophia’s decisions. As an Alpha, Sophia should know that ignoring problems won’t make them go away.Everyone talked about the Midnight Guardians pack as the most mysterious pack of all, yet they were mysterious because Sophia and Isaac closed them off. Talia had to admit how that was one smart thing to do, at least from the outsider’s perspective. If people knew how incompetent Sophia and Isaac were, other packs would put all
Drake thought for a moment before explaining his idea related to figuring out what happened to Talia’s parents."We will start by investigating shady organizations that were active two decades ago. Your father was the future Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack who found his mate, and that means he awakened his ability. In addition to that, Sophia described him as a formidable warrior with a solid head on his shoulders. If someone could harm him, his mate, and their guards, they were not random rogues, and I would assume that it took more than a few people to scare him into leaving you in the Midnight Guardians pack. The more people were involved, the bigger will be the chances of us finding something."Drake saw that Talia’s face was full of anticipation, so he added, "Max’s shelters are accepting all kinds of people, and there is a good chance someone knows something. Also, Cristian has his connections in the black market."Talia understood that Drake used this while investigating t

Marcy mused that she and Nora should have at least something in common. If nothing else, based on Nora's shiny hair and flawless skin, the two of them can talk about hair and makeup, and Nora's outfit was branded as well."I don't need anything.", Marcy said. "But you are welcome to come in if you
~ Paris, France ~ Marcy Redmayne is the princess of the Red Moon pack, the second largest pack in North America. Her father is Alpha Edward, and her mother is Luna Layla. Since her younger brother is set to become the next Alpha of the Red Moon pack, Marcy got an opportunity to explore the world
