Sheila's point of viewI was seated in one of the wooden chairs in the cabin, Killian was beside me, Kaiser sat on the table close to the door, and Zena, who I just found out was Kaiser's fated mate, was right opposite us. She was a witch as well who I was grateful to for helping both my brother and Killian.The cabin was completely quiet as Kai explained everything to me about how he followed Nikolai through the portal into Oasis, meeting Zena and Killian's situation. I had no idea what I had done to save Killian, but whatever it was, I kept thanking the goddess for it."Zena had tried to send word out of Oasis, but it's impossible," Kai said, rubbing his hands together. "We have no idea what's happening on the outside. I can't stop thinking about Leonardo and the others, what exactly happened after Nikolai took you and we jumped right after."I could feel Kai's worry. It was justified. Every single day I also wondered what exactly happened to the others after Nikolai had left with m
Sheila's point of viewKaiser drew in sharp breaths, "This is a bit risky, but it'll work," he said as his hazel orbs moved over Zena, Killian, and me."Alright, just spill it, Kai," Killian folded his arms around his chest."I overheard some little birdies at the training camps for prisoners. The Dark Circle is sending their army to the Southern regions," Kai started, and I nodded, affirming."Yes. The southern regions have joined forces with the Council and the Packs, kingdoms, and covens in North Central. Vladimir doesn't want to take chances. He wants to conquer the South regions before the Blood moon. And he just might be successful because of Felix,""Alright. How does the attack on the South help us in any way?" Zena asked, confusedly."We use the Dark Circle army going for the attack. They will be leaving Oasis, and Nikolai will be aware. We use this opportunity to send one of our own to warn Leo and Morgan about that bastard's treachery," Kaiser explained more in detail.Kais
Sheila's point of view"And Vladimir?" Zena asked abruptly as we continued strategizing on our plan. "What do we do about him?"Zena's question sent me deep into my thoughts. That question had always lingered in my thoughts, and until now, I had no answer for it."We end him along with this fucking place," Kaiser replied almost joyously, but I remained silent, feeling Killian's eyes on me.I tilted my head to meet his penetrating gaze, before glancing over at Kaiser and Zena."We can't," I said, as calmly as I could."Why?" Kaiser spoke quickly."Because aside from the insane fact that Nikolai did something and magic doesn't have any sort of effect on him, Vladimir cannot be killed," I stated flatly."What?"The first day I woke up in this cursed place. I had used my magic on him and it didn't work. Nothing I did seemed to work on him."If that bastard cannot be killed, what then are we going to do about him?" Zena asked."I don't know," I was honest. "Hopefully, the Council will be a
Sheila's point of view"Took you long enough, darling," I felt the deathly chill that glazed over his words. I honestly didn't expect him to be here, and by the looks of things, he had been waiting for me. "Where have you been?" Vladimir questioned, his eyes carefully wandering over my body.I removed the woolen cloak on my body, tossing it over the bed as I moved slowly to him. "Outside," I uttered, pressing my lips to a smile. "Training.""Training?" His lips curled in a smile of his. And the air around grew colder. "At such an odd hour of the night?" He was watching me closely, taking in my every movement.I nodded, still holding my smile, pulling my lips to his briefly. "Why? Is something wrong?" I asked."I was worried. You couldn't be found within the Fortress, and conveniently, I couldn't seem to connect with you," He counted his words slowly in his usual deep accented voice, snaking one hand around my waist, pressing me hard against his body."I was training. The Blood moon is
Leonardo's point of viewHouses burned as the flames engulfed the roofs, blazing a fraction of deep red, livid purple, and amber. Soon, the black smoke swallowed up everything. I paused to scan around, watching expressionlessly as our army darted between the rogues, tearing them apart without any remorse.The witches were busy prying deep into the minds the of rogues, hoping to find whatever piece of information about the Dark Circle, especially where they were keeping my sister and brother.With the paled look of disappointment sent my way by Gwen, I knew once again this attack had left us without even the slightest knowledge of where my siblings could be. My wolf released a grueling growl. I felt anger and frustration rise all the more within me as I went for the closest imbecile I could find.I struck a boot in the puddle of their blood that had formed, flowing endlessly around, tearing apart some rogues, until there was completely nothing left of them. I was about to charge onto m
Zena's point of viewIt's been almost a day since I crossed through the portal with the Dark Circle army and we left Oasis. This was the very first time in many years that I was outside the boundaries of Oasis. I had almost forgotten how beautiful it was out here.I tightened my hold on the horse's reins, speeding past the woodlands, and human village. I was approaching the Capital. I was almost at North Central. I have been riding for hours without stopping for a second. It wasn't hard to evade the army once we had left Oasis. I had circled back to where we had burst out through from the portal and for a second, I thought I was lost.Oasis was a place difficult to find. No wonder Vladimir managed to stay off the raider for so long. The magic holding up the boundaries of Oasis made it completely invisible to the outside world and difficult to find.Before leaving Oasis, I spelled the trail of every path I took. It would be greatly needed when I returned with the Council's army.I lift
Leonardo's point of view"My name is Zena, Kaiser's mate, and I was sent here by your brothers, both of them," The woman sounded carefully, her brown eyes shifting from me to Morgan as my blue eyes narrowed on her."What??" I heard several gasps from Xavier, Jax, and a few warriors that surrounded her.I couldn't hide the shock and confusion swirling in my depths. I took a step closer, my blue eyes taking in everything about this witch. I also noticed the symbol of the Dark Circle on her arm, and there was a small pyramid symbol on her wrist.Morgan moved closer to her with his gaze raw with emotions. "What are you saying?" He was struggling to keep his emotions together, and frankly, so was I.Zena's gaze traveled around, before meeting Morgan's again. "I am saying I was sent here by my mate, Kaiser Black, and his friend, Killian Reid," She paused, "Your brother," she added, her words shocking us completely."My brother is—" Morgan started, vibrating with an unidentified emotion."Al
Leonardo's point of viewWe were gathered in the Council's castle, along with Zeriyah, a few of her witches, the Elder wolves, and a few members of the Council when Felix rushed through the doors at great speed."I came back here as fast as I could," he said sharply, his feline eyes darting around. "What happened now, your words sounded extremely urgent and disturbing.""Yes, Felix. This is important as well as urgent. Please, take a seat," Elder Philip moved his hand in the air, pointing at one of the vacant seats."What is this all about?" He moved closer to the round table. "And what about the others?""We cannot wait for them. This is important," Zeriyah spoke, and just then, I pulled up from my seat, moved to the tall doors, and shut them closed."What happened?" He asked cautiously, moving his eyes from me back to the Elder wolves."We have been information about Vladimir's operations, and his possible location, Oasis," Elder Zeke sounded."What?" Felix shuffled in his seat, "Ho
