Chapter 21 - Fidelity
SenoraIt had been a few weeks since Nixie's service, when her body became one with the water and we all said our final goodbyes. I wasn't close to her, but she was a kind leader and will be greatly missed by many.I was alone in the kitchen, waiting for another pot of coffee to finish brewing. Fiona was talking with Beckett in her office, while Lian went to go visit her parents for the day. I guess that they were pretty ticked off finding out that she's not only a warrior, but a lead warrior, and kind of came close to being killed. So she decided to go to work on patching things up with them since they've had some time to cool down.The knock on the front door quickly got my attention away from the fact that family acceptance is something that I don't worry about, but as soon as I swung the door open other memories bi.tch slapped me in the face."Colton." His name escaped my mouth in a whisper, and I cursed myself for sounding so feminine and weak. I had done a great job of ignoring h

Chapter 22 - Dé-jà Vu
Cerulean Days turned into months, and months turned into years. Time doesn't mean the same thing to certain supernaturals as it does to humans. To humans, a hundred years seems like forever, when to most of us it's only a fraction of that. Of course, there are different tiers. Deities obviously live the longest, followed by demi-gods, witches and vampires, fairies and elves, then werewolves who live just a little longer than humans. Sharing a body with another soul sure does a number on the K9s life span.I know that Fiona has talked to our sisters since that day, but her and I have yet to discuss what was said between us. Shaylee, Niamph, and Sloane have all told me that Fiona was just extremely emotional after what she had just been through and seeing Nixie get killed by one of her own warriors, but I knew better than that. I know her and I don't fully buy that story one bit. I just don't know what she has going on in that head of hers. So until I can put all of the pieces of her cr

Chapter 23 - Time After Time
FionaLife has been pretty mundane for the most part. It was basically just the same shit only a different day. Wake up, train, work, repeat. The only thing that really made it drag on a little more was having Salila around to correct my behavior. Nothing against her at all, she was actually pretty awesome, but oh how I loathed acting. I had a hard time biting my tongue, and now I had to not only do that but also pretend I wasn't and with a smile on my face.It took a while, but we came up with a very happy middle ground. I still went out and trained with the warriors. I even brought on a few more females to take the place of those who didn't bother to help Lian when she needed it. I understand the hesitation in fighting Clyde, but they didn't even bother to go for help. They didn't deserve the level of trust and clearly couldn't handle the responsibility of being a warrior.It was difficult allowing Beckett to act like he was my guard. I made it clear to everyone that he was the head

Chapter 24 - Three Is Company
SenoraAs soon as I got home from work, Fiona informed me that she wanted Colton, Lian, Trenton, Jordan, Matthew, and I to rotate out doing perimeter sweeps, and asked that I go on next. I really didn't feel like it after working with a few of the younger horses that morning, but it's not like I really had much of a choice. Typically, this was a daily job that was split up amongst the regular warriors, not the lead warriors, so I had no clue what was going on for her to want to change things up to this degree and curiosity was getting to me.I started making my way back towards the house in hopes that I would return in time to get something for dinner before any of the leftovers were gone, when a familiar jet black horse came into my view. "Colton, what the hell are you doing here? Your shift isn't next." I gave him a curious look as he immediately shifted back into his handsome human form that has become simply irresistible to me over the years."It's not like I'm going to have dinner

Chapter 25 - Promise Me
FionaBeckett and I were sitting in the living room reading our books in silence, both of us awaiting the arrival of my brother and whomever else he might be bringing with him.The front door quickly flung open as Senora, Colton, and Lian came running in. I tilted my head to the side, confused why the three of them were together."Fiona, your brother and a small group of werewolves are in the woods on their way here."I smiled and nodded at Colton. "Smart on his part for walking instead of simply driving to the house, he probably suspects what's coming."Senora gave me a knowing smile as she put two and two together. "You knew he was coming? Is this why you wanted us doing the perimeter sweeps?"My smile grew. "I did, and it is. I trust you guys to come to me first instead of handling things yourselves. You know how young warriors are, always wanting to prove themselves. I want this for myself." I couldn't help the slightly evil tone that my voice held as I thought about the fun I was

Chapter 26 - Through His Eyes
LeviI made plans with Sol and Celeste for a day out together and an early dinner. They still had some resentment over the entire mate thing, but luckily, time isn't the same for us as it is for humans and the worst part of their anger didn't really last long.They took one look at me when they walked through the front door and expressions of humored shock immediately took over their faces. "Dad, what the fuck is on your face?" I reached a hand up and took ahold of my facial hair, stroking it slowly. "It's called a beard, Sol. Maybe once you hit puberty you'll be able to grow one, too.""I thought that we were all going to get together and go out today?"I contorted my face in confusion at Celeste. "We are.""Not with you looking like that, we're not!"Sol started laughing at his sister's remark."What's wrong with the way I look?"Sol scoffed and shook his head. "Dad, come on. You look like you're pissed off at the world and want to take your anger out on every tree you see."My face

Chapter 27 - Life Ain't Always
FionaAs soon as the door shut behind Cerulean and his packmates, I sent a group message to Trenton, Matthew, and Jordan, instructing them to hurry over to the house so that I could fill them in on everything and ensure that all of our warriors were prepared as quickly as possible. Senora, Colton, Lian, Beckett, and Salila didn't waste any time coming in, eager to find out what exactly was going on."Due to the fact your brother was here, I'm assuming that he needs our help." Colton had a smug grin on his face as he sat on the couch next to Senora."Is it that obvious?"Senora nodded her head. "He hasn't been here since you basically told him to fuck off, so, yeah. It's pretty obvious."Trenton, Matthew, and Jordan made their way in, and I waited for them to get settled before I continued on."Long story short. We need to prepare the warriors for a battle. I don't know how big it is going to be, but I can guarantee that it's not going to be easy." I looked each of my lead warriors in t

Chapter 28 - War That Binds
FionaGoing into battle might be a serious matter of life and death, but this was also going to be the moment that my family found out I had added on a lot of female warriors as well and that they weren't simply training.After Cerulean asked us to put a hurry on our warriors, I sent Trenton, Jordan, Colton, and Matthew out with the typical around 150 male warriors to Moon Rain's territory to meet up with my sisters' warriors and prepare. From what I heard, the total number of fairies was about the same as the wolves' entire pack, which obviously meant that there would be far more fairies fighting than K9s. I was hoping to hear that the wolves at least had their allies fighting alongside us, but wish in one hand ....Times are different than what they used to be. The supernatural population is dwindling at a steady pace as the human world grows. It's next to impossible to stay true to ourselves while keeping the truth hidden at the same time, let alone add in all of the restrictions th

Chapter 29 - Truths Revealed
LianI was proving to be a somewhat decent equestrian with the fact that I somehow managed to successfully stay on Senora's back in battle, despite not having a saddle to help keep me in place.I had to laugh to myself when Senora made the mistake of biting the throat out of some disgusting creature from the underworld and she couldn't get the rotten burnt taste out of her mouth. After that mishap, she decided to stick with using her hooves to kill.Senora had just stomped in the skull of a rogue wolf that thought it was wise to try to wrap it's mouth around one of her legs with it's rotten teeth, while I sliced the head off of a grotesque troll that used the opportunity to try to stab Senora when she wasn't looking. That's when we felt the slight quake in the ground below, and a lump formed in my throat when we looked up to see a large orc making its way towards us."Running isn't really an option right now, Senora!" Senora simply snorted her reply as she put all of her strength into

Chapter 30 -Sweet Dreams
FionaWhen fairies die, our bodies turn into the element which we belong to. In life we are simply someone that has passed through a human's life. They might even vaguely remember us and wonder what happened to us. In death we become the stray flower, a random gust of wind, a sunbeam that burns a little hotter than it should, or an unexpected raindrop that's never even thought of. We mourn our loved ones that are lost, but we move on quickly knowing that they are where they belong and are at their eternal rest with nature.Levi stayed around the entire time that I made sure the lost souls were at peace, helped the wolves to heal everyone that we could, and ensured that all of my people made their way back home.Neither one of us spoke about our own private matters as we quietly walked up the stairs of my front porch. I was exhausted, and looking forward to getting into the shower, alone.I opened the front door and turned around to face Levi. "You don't have to stay. I'm sure that you
