Amber’s pov Everyone started coming in for the conference. Ronin and Bodhi and their daughter Jaimee, Dawn and her mate Chase plus Oliver and Ava and their three kids. Then there were the special wolves who already lived here; Noah, Zeke and Emma all had joined our pack twelve years ago. Emma worked together with Gamma Omar most of the times, he had the ability to smell anything from miles away which came in handy. Zeke lived in the city like Noah, he had started working at the hospital. His healing powers were a great asset to our doctors and pack. We were missing one wolf, Charlotte, she had stayed at the Shadow pack of Alpha Soren. She wanted to see the compounds being teared down 12 years ago and found her mate in the Shadow pack. She had just given birth to a boy and decided to sit this conference out. Charlotte had super strength and would have been a great addition to our pack, but everyone was free to choose where they lived. As usual we started our conference with a small r

Amber's pov I needed to leave around twelve for my run with the special wolves, but I had some time left for Axel. We made love like when we first found out we were mates and I did not want to leave our bed. I was snuggling with Axel when Ripley said, "okay, you had your fun. Come on let me out." Fine. I got out of bed, trying not to wake Axel up and grabbed a big shirt. I put the shirt on and headed downstairs, the other special wolves were already waiting for me. They would head out with me, some of them wanted to see how I charged myself. I had always been reluctant to share it with anyone, but it was one of the last times I would be able to do this. We all shifted and went into the forest. I usually charged myself near the lake, but that area still felt private to me. So I found another clearing. I sat down and the other wolves sat down beside me, forming a circle. "You know, we can try something different if you want?" Ridley said. "What do you have in mind," I responded.

Axel’s pov Amber and Elias were both on bed rest, sleeping most of the day. I felt totally helpless in this situation, I knew I just had to wait for them to get better. I spend my days focusing on pack security and finding out more about witches. My father had an extensive library, which actually belonged more to my mother in hind sight. But perhaps she had some books on witches as well. I needed to do something. Briana was in school most of the day, even though I told her she was more than welcome to stay home. I think she needed the distraction as much as I did. I walked to the library and saw some books that might be helpful. They discussed the difference between white and dark magic and how each type of magic changed someone. Performing dark magic required massive amounts of anger and evil, the more you performed dark magic the darker your soul became. Some spells even took some of your soul. I think that Jade’s spell was one of those, seeing as she said, "take my soul to bring

Amber’s pov The party went great, everyone seemed to love it. All the guest were congratulating Elias and some looked at me with pity in their eyes. They knew my powers would come to an end tonight. Luckily Axel stayed close to me the whole evening, his hand on my lower back gentle stroking it. "Everything will be fine", he told me. I had chosen as many desserts as I could for the buffet, I loved desserts. But I didn’t have much of an appetite. Briana came by with a plate full deserts wrapped up. "This is for tomorrow mom, so you have something to eat when you’re hungry." Briana was so kind. The party seemed to go on forever, but finally people started to leave. Elias started to look very serious and asked if he could shift with me and his father in private. We both didn’t know what to expect, so I understood why he didn’t want any spectators. I knew the perfect spot for us to go. I told Axel to let everyone know we would meet hem later and to get us something to wear for after w

Amber’s povElias has started traveling the world, trying to see what every pack and Alpha needs. I am staying behind until I am needed. I have missed having my powers, but it’s nice to just be present amd be there for my pack. I have felt myself changing over the last few months, I am more patient. I am not walking on egg shells all the time, waiting for something to happen. I have actually planned a surprise for Axel that I would never have done before, I stopped taking the pill last month. He has been wanting another child for so long, but I could never see a world where I would have enough time or energy to have another baby in my life. But right now everything is so calm and perfect between Axel and I. Well, I wouldn’t call what we do in the bedroom calm. But everything outside of the bedroom has been so serene. I have been planning on telling Axel about wanting another pup for the last few night, I wanted to wait to tell him until I got my period back. But Axel beat me to the
