LOGINAnd that's a wrap, folks! For book 1, anyway ;) 'The Rise of the Queen' is next, aka part 2 of Wyatt and Cora(Corinna).
*This scene takes place just before the epilogue of book 5, ‘The Gamma’s Resilience’, and will serve as one of the first few chapters from this book, ‘The Rise Of The Queen’. Corinna I look at the window to check if the coast is clear before I go to the bathroom to do this test. When I hear Elijah’s and Flora’s laughter as they tend to the animals, I decide it’s now or never. I grab a bottle of water on my way to the bathroom, taking chugs as I walk to fill up my bladder faster. I bought two different kinds of pregnancy tests at the store earlier today and kept them hidden under my loose hoodie, which has a tie at the bottom, to make sure nothing dropped out. I go into the bathroom, lock the door behind me, unzip my hoodie, and pull out the tests, sighing as I stare at them. I can’t believe I’m doing this, but Luna seems to be sure, which is why she has now gone silent on me to focus all her attention on protecting the pup, and because she doesn’t want to hear it from me, as I
Freya After pacing, peeking through every blind that faced the direction Oscar disappeared to, and checking the phone he gave me every 5 seconds for any sign, even a tiny piece of news, as if I was a restless possum for the past few hours, I decided it was time.I have no choice but to confront my fears because the deafening silence and the lack of news are too much, so I have to leave the Sanctuary. My anxiety and worry for my brothers has officially overridden my fear of the outside. After all, they’re all I have now. I may not have known Evan long, but he’s Oscar’s fated mate, and that makes him family. Also, from the little I know of him and what I’ve witnessed, he’s nothing like my other brothers. Some of the other women who live here saw me nervously fidgeting by the door and said that if I could wait an hour or so, they would drop me off at Tess's, since it’s the same route to the diner, which made me breathe a sigh of relief. Since we can’t shift, we had to walk about 10
Corinna After waking and dressing Elijah in the darkest clothing he had, I made us something quick and easy to eat to keep us sustained for the long journey ahead. While we were eating, he asked why I had woken him up in the middle of the night. I vaguely explained why, and surprisingly, he didn’t contest it, much to my relief. He knows about his father, not the full details, but I told him enough that he’s aware that he and others from those packs are bad guys and, Goddess forbid, if any of them come near him, he knows not to trust and, if possible, to run as fast and far as he can. Probably why it wasn’t much of a surprise to him that I suddenly announced we had to go. Over the years, he thankfully hasn’t asked many questions about Xander, which I’m thankful for, but the few times he has, I chose not to lie about who he is. I told him that this is why I have gone by many different names, and that he also has various last names, but because of his age, he remembers only two. The
Sofia “First of all, Anne, I’m all the above. Luna, you already know, so no point in explaining that, but like the other ladies you see over there.” I gesture with my hand to them. “I, too, was born an Amazon, and I am a wolf shifter. My rank within the Tribe is High Priestess because I have the gift of Foresight, meaning I have visions from the past, present, and, most importantly, the future. To put it in your terms, I am the Beta of my Tribe. ’Oracle’ or ‘Seer’ came from the humans when they were in the temples, and it stuck.” I explain, shrugging my shoulders.I see from the corner of my eye Anne opening her mouth, but I stop her with my finger, smirking because I know what she was about to ask. “Back in ancient times, specifically Ancient Greece, when humans believed in deities, we worked in temples as ‘Seers’.” I use my fingers for quotations. “People came seeking blessings, atonements, or prophecies, believing they came from their Gods,” I say casually, shrugging one shoulder
Wyatt Ever since the strange woman entered the room, Axel pushed himself to the forefront and stayed there, on alert, pacing back and forth in my head while we watched her command the room with gentle poise and dignity. She also takes no bullshit, judging by how she put Cora’s supposed mother in her place with just her words and how she interacted with Gabriel.A part of me wanted to intervene since that’s her mother, and I was going to when she asked Gabe to command her, but he held me back, saying that it’s not my place and that this Sofia always has her reasons for doing something. I silently scoffed, and for some reason, that whole scene with Noah, then her interactions with Gia, made me feel weird. Why is she acting like this with them but not me? Wait, am I jealous?I rotate my neck, cracking it in the process, to hide my shaking my head because that’s fucking bullshit. I’m a grown ass man, and I have a mate whom I adore, and yet, something about her feels familiar, which i
Sofia I stand with my hands on my hips in the middle of the hallway after leaving Cora’s apartment for a much-needed breather. I need a moment to brace myself for what I am about to walk into, and with my senses slowly returning, it’s slightly overwhelming. Still, I never thought it would be possible after what happened, so I will happily take the blurred vision and the twitchy nose.My eyes stop at the door I just came out of, and I let out a sigh. I don’t like or agree with what she’s planning to do as it’s a massive risk, but I also understand where she’s coming from. She’s had a lot thrown at her in a very short space of time, plus with her PTSD, which I possibly made worse by taking her back, keeping her here by force would probably do more damage to her psyche. And that’s a risk I am not willing to take, as I do believe that once she comes to terms with how she is, she, along with her mate, will be the powerhouse we need to end this bullshit. I pray I’m doing the right thing
