LOGIN"I'll send you the coordinates as soon as we decide on a landing point." Amira stated clearly. She paced along the wall in the armory within the Pack House. Crossbows. Guns. Daggers. A room that was once for storage, now made for war preparations. Amira's eyes settled on the bow she had been working on for the past few years. The strong oak wood shipped in from Greece, as well as the bowstring made from bamboo. She didn't need it to be beautiful or unique, but she wanted a sense of the Huntress in the bow. So why not gather materials from the place her temple once stood? "Yeah." Amira mumbled on the phone as Leyla confirmed the last steps to the plan. "I'll call you tomorrow." She said before she hung up the call. When the silence settled in, it was stifling rather than welcoming. Perhaps she had been so used to the commotion and bodies over the past week that this sudden space was eerie. "I figured you'd be here." Aiden's voice spoke up from the doorway. Amira glanced over to he
"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
"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
"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
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
"Sounds like they patched things up." Aiden cleared his throat as he moved away from the staircase. "How do you know?" Willow asked, perplexed. Aiden tapped his ear. "It can be a blessing and a curse." The once naive young girl wouldn't have guessed what he meant by that, but the grown young woma
When was it that he last touched me like this?Jayce's lips glided along the arc of her throat. His tongue flickered out to feel her pulse that raced beneath her skin. His hand roamed over the curve of her hip, his fingers hooking on the leggings she wore and tugged them down earnestly. Lily felt his
His head ached when he stirred. There was a slight weight on his chest when his eyes fluttered open. As his blurred vision began to clear, he recognized the room he and Lily were guests in at Aiden's home. The warm glow of the setting sun spread across the ceiling through the blinds. He inhaled dee
Nox curled up in a puff of black fur amidst the depths of Jayce's subconscious. The memory of his beloved Mate pinned beneath him while trapped in his frenzy. The fear in her eyes would forever be engraved in his mind. "Is this where you plan to hide from me?" Azura's sweet voice caused his tail t
