*MELODY*
I left Diana because I knew Dr. Summer would be able to help him. And Delaney will be able to heal him when we get back. But I couldn't stay away from Kylo knowing he was facing basically an army of vampires and a dark witch. I shimmered back into the kitchen where I shimmered before and it was in ruins. There were ashes everywhere. Body parts slung all around the little house Diana and her mate lived in. Walls were missing inside. There was a huge gaping hole in the roof that was on fire. Electrical wires dangling from the ceiling and sparking from holes in the wall.
The fear coursing through my veins is only increasing by the second. I want to try to mind link my mate, or Delaney or even Orion. But I'm terrified to not get a response. Or worse, to find them amongst the dead.
*UNKNOWN*I almost had her. I almost had her in my clutches. I almost took her Alpha with me too.But she thinks she is so much smarter than me. She thinks she is better at magic than me. How can a light witch be stronger than a dark witch? What does she think that because her brother is basically the warlock king, that she is entitled to the things I want? I am ten times smarter, stronger and more powerful than she is.I couldn't break through her protection dome, I couldn't grab her and her Alpha before they disappeared into thin air. I guess moving the Alpha will kill him since my poison will start running through his veins again. And then when she is the most vulnerable I will kill her.I wanted him for myself. He is so han
*CARINA*My body is aching. Every muscle feels like it is on fire. My head is throbbing as if I have been punched repeatedly. Why am I feeling like this? There isn't any reason why I should be feeling like this. Even some of Levi’s and I's “rough nights” I never wake up feeling like this. And that is saying something cause the man is a literal beast. I try to move my hands to wipe my eyes. I can't get my hands to my face. What the hell?I try to lift my arms from next to me. They feel like they weigh a ton. Why are they so heavy? I finally flutter my eyes open and wherever I am the room is completely black. I realize my hands are not by my body but above my head. I feel shackles on my wrists. I try to open my mouth and holler for Levi but I can't get anything out of my mouth. I start frantically looking around. Now that I am awake a little more, I can make out a little more of what is going on in the room. It looks like a cellar of some sort. I see a small bare cot in the corner. I
*DELANEY*We made it back to the packhouse. Watching Hera’s form obliterating a whole forest into ash, almost losing my mate and brother, and still having to look for Carina and Levi, I am beyond exhausted.After hearing the explanation on the way back of what happened to Orion, the new Dr. finally calls me in to heal Garrett. I am so nervous hoping my powers will be enough to heal him and his wolf. I hope I don't cause any falsified hope or scare my mate or his. I just want to do this right. I need my brother by my side. Plus, I want nieces and nephews running around.I want to have the family I always dreamed of having, that I always wanted. And with my brother and Davina by my side we can all find our parents.
*GARRETT*“Okay big brother, let’s hear it!” Delaney squeals eagerly. Wanting to know about what happened when we were kids and probably about what I have been doing all this time. I am sure she is more focused on the first option though.“Okay, but before I start, please know that as a young kid myself some of the decisions I have made may not have always been the greatest, but I was just a kid. Just as lost as you. And I was trying to figure everything out on my own. I never wanted anyone to get hurt or feel like they were abandoned. But I know that is probably what happened anyway. I just need you to know that everything I did was because I was hoping it was in your best interest.” I say, taking a deep breath, wiping away a stray tear that tried to fall from
~{Meanwhile at Crescent Moon Pack}~*HEATHER*It’s been just a couple of weeks since I moved to Maddox’ pack. He’s been so sweet and attentive to me. I don’t know why I am so shy. I used to walk around cocky because I was sleeping with the Alpha, but now I am mated to an Alpha and I have no idea what to do with myself.His parents are very nice, and his mother has taught me so much about being a Luna, but I still don’t ever think I will be able to pull that off. Running a whole pack, even with the help from Maddox and his parents, I just don’t feel worthy enough…‘If you don’t shut that shit up. You don’t even realize how amazing you are because you are constantly comparing yourself to others.’‘ Helena reprimanded me.‘What do you know, Helena? You have such a high ego for us. It’s ridiculous.’‘Says the girl who chased the untamed Alpha. I can just feel it in both of our souls that we are meant to be Luna. We are meant to be with Maddox. You must trust in that bond, or the negativity
*HEATHER* I immediately shift and maneuver this beaten woman in rags onto my back, as Helena breaks into an all out sprint to the pack hospital. I can feel the eyes of all the pack members trailing my wolf all the way there. I even hear Maddox calling for me. But my mind is focused on this woman’s shallow breathing. I can feel her ribs, she is barely clinging to life and I have no idea what to do. I lightly lay her on the ground and shift. “I need the doctor and a surgeon. This woman is EXTREMELY dehydrated and is barely alive. NOW!” I growl. And everyone in front of the pack hospital is shuffling at my commands. I hear a roar which could only be from my mate. And then I feel a blanket draped over my shoulders. “Are you out of your mind? YOU ARE LITERALLY NAKED IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE PACK, HEATHER.” He growl whispers to me. And I know I have been a bit shy because of the turn of events in my life, but one thing I am sure of is I am not ashamed of my body. “And that woman over
**DELANEY**Walking through the forest with no memory of which direction I came from or which direction I am going, at this point it’s frustrating. I am terrified, I smell like a wet dog from sweating and I need a nap. But I can't turn back now.I have visions of the most beautiful woman with light blonde hair and pale blue eyes and a handsome, yet warm man with dark brown hair and jade green eyes. The same image in my head that I have been seeing since before I escaped that horrid foster home last week. I like to think it's of my parents or maybe it's what I conjured my parents to look like in my mind. Who knows?I took off in the middle of the night to the woods 5 nights ago. Almost like it was calling to my soul, pulling me
**DELANEY** The thuds are getting louder like they are overhead of me. I step back into the cave as quietly as I can. I am praying silently in my head that this bear will just turn around and get his midnight snack somewhere else. The thuds are just overhead of me. I can hear the creature sniffing the air and I keep praying that being in the woods for a week won't become a disadvantage at this point. Whatever this animal is, it completely REAKS of rotten garbage that has been baking in the summer heat in Florida. WOW! Horrible!! I mean I've never been to Florida but I heard it's God awfully hot there. It sounds like whatever animal I have found myself listening to has already run off because now I hear small steps, like from a person. It might be a hunter that scared it off. But I still don’t want anyone to find me. I’m basically a child. They will take me back to the town and back to those homes I came from. I am breathing so loud that if this person doesn't see my breath from th
