I'll have more out later today :)
Lucy:The Silver was like an allusion. Maybe it was meant to scare the werewolves away.Silver is feared among werewolves, by nature, something I was never familiar with.Something that, in my nature, was welcomed and celebrated.The water beneath the lake was rich in color. Blues, purples, pinks, and greens.Each color swirled within another, mixing and mingling like the sky above, but it wasn't just that that took my breath away; it was something much bigger.I swam further down into the waters, thinking of nothing other than the destination ahead.'You'll need help,' I hear Rosie's voice in my head.The connection I laid out for us is still prominent.As I look around, I see nothing but seaweed and other plants beneath me.'I can't hold my breath much longer,' I explain to her, even though it's clear that she's aware.'I know, I'm almost there. Hold on,' her voice is soft like it's always been, but there's more life in her than before.I continue to swim forward when I catch a gli
Lucy:"What is this?" I ask, my hands still trembling and weak from Zeak marking me.Trish had made me more of the heat potion, not just for me but for others who wanted to wait.His marking was similar and yet different. Extending from my other marks. Aphirages curving and flowing down my back in the shape of wings.A symbol unlike any that Nadia had ever seen."It's your mother's ceremonial dress, passed down for generations," Nadia smiles at me.She gently hands me the long silver garment bag. It has soft black-and-white engraving around the seams in Fae encryption. I set it down on my bed and unzip the bag before opening it to the most beautiful dress I have ever seen. It nearly takes my breath away.The sleeves were long and made of thin white lace. The body of the dress was pearl white silk and would easily flowed easily down to the ground.Nadia stood behind me in front of the mirror after I put on the dress. Her eyes watered with held-back tears, and she looked at me in a way
Lucy:Zeak gasps as we all tumble through the portal and into the last spot I can remember Liam and me being in the cave.My memory took us to this space, and somehow it felt more familiar to me than before. I shift my eyes as I gain my bearings."Are you okay?" I ask Zeak, who is dry heaving off to the side."I'm fine," he mutters, straightening his posture to look at me."I'm fine," I mimic sarcastically, getting irritated and moody at his behavior."C'mon, little mate," Leon chuckles as I glare up at Zeak.'He will come around,' Nia continues to remind me, but I'm over it.I'm done with him hurting my feelings."What is this place?" Zeak asks, obviously ignoring my feelings and outburst."It's where we are connected to the other realms," I say quietly. I hadn't really talked about this with any of my mates up to this point."Our connection was broken along the way, which caused the flow of that connection to stop, hence the pond instead of a river. This cave is the key. I'm just n
Lucy:It takes me two seconds to whip my hand and create the portal in the distance.All the council members gasp and back away quickly, grabbing their things and looking around at each other with questions that can't seem to come to their lips.The idiots.'I thought we were keeping my existence a secret, Lucy?' Zeak says.He sounds nervous, which makes me realize I've done it yet again.I get excited when we've duped someone or when I realize exactly what we need to do. The dots begin to connect, and I fail to communicate everything.'They're accusing me of murdering you. That's their reasonable cause for why they believe me to be dangerous,' I explain, taking a deep breath.Similar to a black hole, the portal swirls like a vortex of royal purple and silver shades.Before I can blink twice, Zeak's big, bulky form jumps through the portal, and I whip my hand again, closing it behind him.His eyes dart straight to Paul's, malice dripping from his aura.Not just because of me or what h
Lucy:I had to take another vial of the heat potion immediately after marking Zeak. If it hadn't been for Zeak holding back, I would have completely lost it. The moment my canines sank into his skin, my heat flared like a raging bomb fire, causing all of my mates to snap their bonds shut with me and flee the room, leaving Zeak and me to deal with the effects.The way he looked at me pleadingly. Not in a way that said he wanted me, but in a way that was begging me not to touch him or ask him to touch me.It nearly shattered my heart at the moment, but Nia was able to talk me through it.Understanding that Zeak was also traumatized by his actions.The actions he had done under the poison he had been inflicted with had been just as much of a burden to him as it had to me. I suppose I had never thought about it that way. I had only considered the hurt and pain I had been through from what he had done, but in a way, he went through the same thing."Do you think I'm ugly?" I ask Zeak as
Lucy:I had spent the night healing Trish. I wasn't sure my healing powers could work, and if it hadn't been for Liam, I wouldn't have been able to sustain enough magic for it to be successful.Leon and Seth discussed with Saul how we thought his cousin might be involved in all of it.Unfortunately, that discussion confirmed our theories, as Saul recognized his cousin had been behaving oddly, and the visit was somewhat random as well.All things that I was sure were the case but hadn't said as much."My love," Seth whispers in my ear, taking off my clothes for me.It wasn't all that sexual, really. I was exhausted."I'm proud of you," he adds, knowing full well how difficult it was to fight the Old Magic taking over Trish.It was different from trying to help Seth and Liam. That magic had taken over Trish for several days, whereas they had been infected for only hours.Liam was already in the tub, nearly falling asleep as he soaked. We hadn't utilized the jacuzzi at all up to this poin
