A trembling motion stirred the young Wolf pup awake. She sat up quickly, still half asleep. Another rumble. An earthquake? Her eyes adjusted to the darkness quickly. Everything remained as they were. Pictures hung on the walls. Figurines stationary on shelves. Yet the tremor occurred a third time. Inside her head. It was minor the first two times, which had confused her that an earthquake was taking place. "Dad?" Myra called out nervously. She rolled herself out of bed and made her way to her bedroom door. "Dad!" "Myra." Her father's grovel voice reached her from down the hall. She peered down to his bedroom door, where she found Jayce leaned up against his doorframe for support. "Dad?" Alarms went off in her head. She sensed that something was off with him. Especially with her mother in the hospital again. They did not give her many details about the situation, but it wasn't rocket science. Her mother was changing. She has always sensed that since her brothers were born. Lily wa
"Nox isn't a monster, though." Lily protested. "He's gentle and loving." "He is now that he has you." Leto retorted. The Goddess smiled warmly. "You tamed the beast while no other could." She cast her eyes out over the seamless waters. "The King carried a hungry that he just could not satisfy." "So, you created his Queen." Lily said. "Why did you wait so long to help him?" "He is still my child." Leto said. "I could not keep a muzzle on him." She sighed. "Though, the wars waged and the blood that was shed. I could have stopped it all, but deities are restricted from intervening with mortal and Supernatural affairs." "Until now." Lily leaned forward slightly to gaze at Leto's face. "Can I get an answer about who I truly am, then?" The one question she wasn't entirely prepared to hear answered, however. Leto side glanced at her before she peered down at the brown Wolf beside Lily. "Would it be rude of me to answer your question with another question?" "I'm afraid I won't have muc
It had been a week since Lily collapsed into a coma. The media hadn't caught wind of it yet, thankfully, so her father could be with her in peace. Although, some questions raised during that time about where she was. Her mother missed several meetings and was questioned about her lack of attendance. Her grandmother was able to put a stop to that before it could get out of hand next. Grandpa Derrick and her Uncle Elias have been keeping her and her brothers' company while her father visited her mother frequently. She didn't quite understand the Mate Bond yet, aside from the sacred link behind it. As desperate as she wanted to see her mother, she knew she needed to stick close to Zyrus and Sylar. To protect them. Just as her father asked her to do. "Myra, darling?" Penelope spoke up from beyond her door. "Come down for breakfast, dear. Your father cooked your favorite." The sound of Penelope's heels clicked against the tile as they faded from the door. Myra zipped up her backpack afte
His phone buzzed on the desk beside him. He raised a brow when he recognized the school number on the screen. "It's the first day. What trouble did she get herself into already?" He sighed as he picked up the call. "Jayce." "Good morning, Jayce." He recognized Melonie's voice. "I apologize if I'm interrupting you in anything." "Not at all." He said. "Is everything alright with Myra? The boys?" "Oh, from what I heard, the boys are doing alright." Melonie seemed to hesitate, however. "Did something happen to Myra?" He asked again as he slowly rose from his seat. "I need you to come down here." She lowered her voice. "You need to see this for yourself." Her words were cryptic to him. Was Myra okay? What happened to his daughter?---------- When he arrived to the school, the halls were eerily quiet. He could hear the soft murmurs behind the classroom doors, but none were focused on the lessons. No. All the attention was on the door. With each pass, he found children and teachers sta
She didn't know what came over her. First she was at Leto's temple, then she met Azura. Everything was a blur afterwards. A howl that pierced her ears. Pain that twisted her bones. The sudden urge to bolt. She had control, yet she didn't. The soil and grass beneath her paws were soft. Dirt kicked up behind her. Trees meshed together as she darted past. The smells. Everything correlated into one cloud of complex scents she couldn't differentiate. The sounds. Birds chirped in the higher branches as she ran under them. Squirrels scurried up tree trunks to evade her path. Rabbits hid under the shadowed brush. They stayed clear of her. Lily! Jayce's voice shouted in her head. Fear took her. Her legs carried her faster. How will he take it? Her change? God, what if she was repulsive to him? Lily! Slow down!In the distance behind her, she heard him. His enormous paws trailed after her. Closing the gap between them. She jumped out past the tree line into a clearing. A shallow stream se
Jayce leaned against the doorframe to Myra's room. His little pup was still asleep by the time they all returned to his estate. Lily sat beside her daughter, her fingers gently caressed the sleeping child's face. Everything was happening too quickly and left him little to no time to process anything. Lily's awake now, but has awoken her Wolf spirit. The thought still wasn't easy to digest. All these years and he didn't have a clue. She wasn't to blame, though. She was just as much in the dark as he was. His eyes trailed over her. Golden locks shimmered in the late morning light. Her eyes sparkled like emeralds. Lily was still his Lily. Her scent had changed drastically. Others were bound to take notice, just as Aiden did. He felt his cousin's gaze on him now as he approached him, but he refused to take his eyes off of Lily and Myra. "The others are in your office." Aiden said as he stopped beside him and turned his gaze into the room. "She took the change better than I expected, ho
Why does it have to be me? Rayleigh sat across from Lily in her office. It seemed to be the only place she had some decent privacy from her children. As expected, the newfound power within Lily had caused a disturbance amongst the Pack. Jayce reassured her he would handle it for her while she occupied herself with the others. No one was blind to his distaste for the turn of events. More so aware of his seething rage for her new set of responsibilities. No longer just his Queen and wife, but the savior for all. Supernatural and Mortals alike. However, Rayleigh had little to no hope for Lily's progress considering how late in the game she unleashed her Wolf spirit. Yet, everyone else can see the light at the end of this damned tunnel aside from herself. "I know." Lily spoke up suddenly, taking Rayleigh by surprise. The blonde woman had her gaze on the floor. "I don't feel confident about this either." Rayleigh hadn't spoken out about her true feelings on the matter, but perhaps Lily
Zalakai leaned against the doorframe as he watched in silence. He hadn't meant to eavesdrop on their conversation, but he couldn't ignore Rayleigh's words, either. Weak? Hardly. Vulnerable? Yes. Every Human is vulnerable. It didn't mean he looked at her any differently. In fact, if something changed, it would have been his growth of admiration for the woman. To have endured the pain and suffering and survived. If that wasn't a feat, then what is? His eyes scanned the dark scar on Lily's back. A whip, from what she proclaimed. Delivered by the same monster that Jayce murdered. A deep growl emanated from behind him. Speak of the Devil. "What are you doing, Demon?" Jayce growled menacingly from behind him. Lily peered over her shoulder to find both men at the door. Rayleigh sat up quickly, equally surprised to find him standing there. "Relax, Wolf." Zalakai said without a single glance over his shoulder. He didn't have to see the dark and angry gaze the Werwolf King displayed on hi
