บททั้งหมดของ Alpha Atlas: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

While we had come up with a plan days ago, it did nothing to ease the fear in my gut. Part of me had refused to accept that the Fae would come, that they wanted anything to do with me. It all felt like some kind of fever dream. People didn’t just suddenly change species, only to find out they housed an incredible amount of earth-shattering power. Yet, the thick black smoke that spilled into the sky was proof enough. The Fae were here, and they meant business.The plan was such; Finn would lead them as far away as possible while Atlas and I escaped back to his pack. Finn insisted the Fae wanted nothing to do with him and wouldn’t care about his presence. It was me they wanted; it was me they were willing to kill for. They wanted the power that had chosen me, that was now embedded in my body and soul. I knew without a doubt that taking the power from me would leave me dead. I wouldn’t survive a second transformation. I would be left nothing more than a lifeles

“Well, that wasn’t worrisome or anything.” Atlas grunted as we followed Elden down a long catwalk, and I couldn’t help but agree.Some of the trees had been hollowed out in the middle, full of intricate carvings that seemed to radiate old magic. Even though the many of the tree’s had been carved into, they thrummed with life. We traveled up a wooden staircase that wrapped around one of the trees, climbing higher and higher into the sky.The stairs let off onto a platform, which lead to one of the many houses carved into the woods. A wooden door made of gold and emerald was built into the tree, as well as multiple windows with green tinted glass.“Someone will bring you food shortly. There will be a change of clothes inside for you.” Elden murmured before leaving Atlas and I to fend for ourselves.The inside of the house was beautiful, much more elaborate than I had thought possible. Directly inside was the bedroom

Atlas and I descended into the darkness. Even with my Fae vision, there was very little light to illuminate the arched walls of the cavern. I briefly grazed my fingertips over the emerald flame and was surprised to find that it was hot to the touch.“You’re surprised that fire is hot?” Atlas chuckled, his laugh rough and somewhat raspy.“It’s green fire, Atlas. I didn’t know if it was different or something.” I snorted, narrowing my eyes at him.“Fire is fire, kitten.” He snickered, wrapping his hand around my out stretched fingers. “Don’t burn yourself.”“I think we need to worry about you right now, not me.” I retorted, turning away from the fire to venture deeper into the cavern.Our voices bounced off the earthen walls, sending echo’s back and forth. I trailed my fingers over the rough surface of the walls, trying to forge that connection Micah was talking

While Micah was fine with us wandering the towering city in the treetops, he had asked us not to step foot on the ground below. As the sun dipped into the sky, and brilliant stars dotted the horizon, a large manner of creatures claimed the night as their home.  Even when exhaustion filled my bones and weighed down my limbs, I was unreasonably restless. A dull throb filled my head that refused to balk, and I chalked it up to information overload. In such a short amount of time, nearly everything had changed. Two weeks ago, I had been in Atlas’s pack, horrifically angry and hell-bent on accepting his rejection at all costs. Everything was moving so—so fast. From Werewolf to Fae, from one realm to another. In the midst of training to master the power that breathed within me to running from

The next two days were filled with sweat, dirt and general exhaustion. Micah had been serious when he offered to train me, and I quickly began to see the High Lord lingering beneath his familiar skin. High Lord Micah was brutal, unforgiving and generally ruthless when it came to my training.Each morning started with a large breakfast, usually consisting of a plethora of vegetables, fruits, and some form of mystery meat. I hadn’t a clue what kind of meat it was, and I was more than afraid to ask. Micah’s reasoning behind the large breakfast was that it would help connect me to Earth, as all of the ingredients were part of that element. The fruits and vegetables came from the surrounding forest, as did the animal whose meat we consumed.Bloated and stuffed with food, I wobbled alongside Micah and made my way down to the forest below. Micah had sent Atlas off with a handful of warriors to connect with his own element, directing them towards the nearest body o
