The moon reflected off the calm waters of the lake. The cool night breeze barely rippled the water's surface. Lily peered out, hoping the calmness of the night would settle the storm in her mind. But this storm was hard to tame.

Ever since their fight, Jayce had avoided her. Perhaps avoidance wasn't the proper term, but it definitely felt that way. He wasn't the only one avoiding the situation, either.

You know he didn't mean it.

Azura's reassurance didn't go unnoticed, but it didn't change the weight in her heart.

"He may not have meant it, but he still said it," Lily whispered. She peered down at the back of her hands. The faint glow of the angelic text hummed softly on her skin. "Anger brings the truth out just as much as liquor can."

He... He is a complicated Human.

"Complicated is putting it nicely." Lily grumbled. Her eyes shifted slightly to her wedding ring. "The last time we had a serious fight was the situation before our wedding."

  • The Fated Queen   84: Willow

    "You ready for this?" Dante asked her. Willow had been pacing in front of the bed in one of the spare guest rooms in Jayce's house. "What if no one listens, Dante?" She voiced her concerns. Her fingers fidgeted with one another as she paced. "What if I'm the only one in this fight with my Magic?" "There is no harm in trying." Dante rose to his feet and placed his hands on her shoulders to stop her pacing. "Pixie, even if we can't get a single Light Witch to help us, we will still win." "How do you have such confidence?" She asked him, her brows furrowed. "Karmina is far stronger than I am. What if I fail? What if we fail because I'm not strong enough?" "Darling." His voice was firm yet soft as he gently silenced her. His hands ran down her arms from her shoulders until they grasped her hands. "You are the strongest person I have ever met." He released one of her hands to brush back the long strands of her bangs from her eyes. His thumb brushed along her cheek. "You lost so much, b

  • The Fated Queen   83: Jayce

    "Alright, so, how are we doing this? What is the final plan?" Damien asked, finally able to join the group after what had happened. Erica stood at his side, supporting him with a hand on his back. His Beta stood strong, but Jayce could see the weariness etched into his facial features. The damage he had gone through with losing his arm was far more than he could ever comprehend.The living room was packed with everyone. Xander had the children pre-occupied in another room. The only ones that were vacant still were Zalakai and Rayleigh. He couldn't deny the relief he felt not having that damned Demon in his presence. "We have her location. Sort of." Willow stated as she spoke up. She shifted her gaze to Jayce. "Thank you again for helping me." Jayce inclined his head slightly as a soft growl vibrated within his mind. "That was more Nox than me, but you're welcome." "I definitely missed out on some stuff." Damien eyed Jayce curiously. Jayce side eyed him with a look that Damion caug

  • The Fated Queen   82: Zalakai

    "Dammit, Zalakai!" Rayleigh's angry shout filled the room. He sat on the edge of the bed, his hands linked in front of him. He convinced her that his father may have information on how to handle Karmina in his study. Except... "It's for your own good, Ray." He told her for the fifth time now. Rayleigh struggled against the restraints. After fooling her to come back with him, he trapped her on the same wall that restrained her on her first visit to his domain. The hands tightened their grips on her wrists. "My own good?" She growled. "You have no right." "No right?" He asked as he rose to his feet and approached her. "I have more right than you realize." "Free me. Now." Her eyes narrowed. His symbol on her chest hummed softly. The pull to succumb to her command nearly crippled him. He gritted his teeth against the demand. "No." He snarled, his face turned away as he struggled against their pact. "This isn't a damn game, Zalakai!" Rayleigh shouted again. "The longer I'm down here

    Her heart was in her throat. As she stood in front of the Pack House. Jayce, after making the call, was informed that Damien was still at the Pack House, recovering. As well as Erica being at his side. "Do you need a moment?" Jayce asked her as he held open the door. Lily let out a shaky breath. "No. No more waiting." Jayce gave her a small smile as he took her hand and led her inside. The Pack House was busy. His Warriors were preparing with all weaponry available in their arsenal. Jayce's men looked relieved to see them again. Each one arched their necks in respect as they walked past. "It's an adjustment." Lily smiled awkwardly. "Having gone to a Rogue community who don't care what title you carry, to a home where everyone looks up to you." "It was a small reprieve." Jayce admitted. His hand grasped hers. "For once, not having others turn to me as their leader, but just as another Wolf." His eyes softened. "It was a different perspective, but a necessary one." "Jayce..." Lil

  • The Fated Queen   80: Jayce

    Home. He set the bags on the bed, his eyes swept the room. It had only been a week since they departed from here, but it seemed like months since they've been gone. There was much to do before the battle happened. The talk with the other Alphas. Finalizing safety protocol with the Pack members that hadn't left. Damien. "Damien." He murmured softly. He hadn't heard anything after what had happened. Aside from being stabilized, he hadn't heard from his Beta, his best friend. Was he alright? Angry? Disappointed? "Jayce?" Lily's soft voice reached his ears from the doorway. He hadn't heard her come to the room. "Do you want to see him?" "I will." He reassured her, but hesitance still lingered. Lily sensed it and walked over to wrap her arms around his waist. "Everything will be okay. I'm sure he missed you just as much as you missed him." "Will you confront Erica?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "The last time you two were together, it wasn't pleasant." Lily

    The familiar foyer was a sight for sore eyes. The warmth and security of their home was a long wait that was overdue. Everything appeared as it should. No Undead wandering about. No decaying wallpapers or blood streaks of violence. Tidy. Clean. Home. Lily released a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "We're back." She whispered. "I never realized how much I missed home until a situation occurs." Jayce voiced alongside her. The tension in his shoulders easing slightly. His nose wrinkled as he picked up the scents. "I'll be..." "Jayce? Lily?" A young male voice chipped in from the kitchen. A tall, more on the slender side version of Jayce peeked his head from around the kitchen doorway. His short black hair pushed back from his face as he grinned. "Shit, you're home." "Elias." Lily smiled instantly as Jayce's younger brother walked over to greet them. "How long have you been here?" She asked as she hugged him. "It feels like I haven't seen you in months. When did you get so
