~Xyana~Breakfast was a smoothie, bread, homemade Avocado spread, and well-spiced chicken fillets. Amongst other things, living with Clifton for days has shown me how blessed the man's culinary skills are. Clifton can cook a storm and make it look like it's absolutely nothing. After breakfast, he placed me on the lounger at the short verandah attached to the sitting room. He knelt behind me and carefully massaged my shoulder to loosen up the knots I had there.I shut my eyes and I pray fervently that this version of my mate remains forever. When he's done, he joins me on the lounger which is big enough to hold at least three people.I cling onto him desperately and he moves his arms to sling them around my body, making me cross my legs around his waist."Love you, baby," he coos out, his chest heaving.I don't respond, but only because I'm still finding all of this, 'too good to be true.' Slowly, I trace my fingers through the outline of his d

~Gaston~It's been a while since I had a sit-together with my Pack elders. But with everything happening, I decided it was time I spoke to them.Xyana's presence in the Pack raised a couple of questions that I didn't want to address until Clifton sorted out the issue of Amon with Xyana.A whole lot has happened since Clifton left the Pack. Me and my brothers have been working tirelessly to get to the root of everything. Uncle Azzarus had to stay back to hold things down with me until Clifton returned, at least.Zegulf Landerman and I have surprisingly been working together to find the Witch, Kadila. But so far we haven't been lucky. Yet Zegulf doesn't seem willing to give up.Contrary to my discussion with Clifton, I didn't tell anyone about his findings and the things he went through to rescue Xyana.However, I shared a vital part of the information about the barrier opening between us and the underworld with Zegulf Landerman only.And that is because the prophecy was talking about

~Gaston~I almost pushed back when I heard the question. But knowing Wilbrae and how smart he is, he would notice even the rapid blink of an eye."What prophecy, Wilbrae?" He takes in a breath before he replies. "Your mother and I stumbled upon a prophecy several years ago." He glances around the hall. "is it okay to speak freely here, Alpha?"'Shut the doors,' I mind-linked Dion and Declan and they got to the task.The hall was built to offer soundproofing once the doors and windows were shut. "Speak, Wilbrae," I tell him once the doors get shut."The prophecy... it spoke of a Moon-made sent by the Moon-goddess. And this Moon-made will bring the two most powerful werewolf packs together and heal the land. But that's not all."I find myself tilting closer to him at that statement. That should be all. That is all we know. If it's not all, then what are we missing?Wilbrae brings his voice lower. "There will be war." He whispers. "The good witches will come back to finish what they st

~Gaston~ Zegulf and I move to my office at the Packhouse. Once we shut the door, he pulls his hat off and slumps onto a seat. "I think I'm going to explode with worries." Zegulf whines. "Me too." I sigh, "My thoughts are shooting over the roof. I think I need a day or two away from all of this." "Tell me something I don't know." Zegulf hisses. "Are they back yet?" He asks, changing the topic. "Is that why you came?" He flings his arm upwards in the form of a silent question. "Isn't that a good enough reason? Hello." I chuckle. "I don't think it's wise to see her today though. You can give her a few days before meeting her. My advice, though." Zegulf sighs and nods. He pushes a piece of paper across me. I turn the paper over and realize that it's a map. "That's the location we have the open barrier." Zegulf discloses. "I have the best men work on this." I frown. "For Goddess's sak

~Xyana~Once Clifton helped me down from the car, Oona was the first to run out of the Packhouse to welcome me. I almost shed a tear at how much joy she felt, seeing me.Clifton chuckles when Oona ignores him, refusing to give him a hug and runs back inside.Omegas ran past me to the car. We came back to grab whatever we had in the car trunk if possible. Unfortunately for them, we didn't come back with anything at all.No clothes, nothing. I'd wanted to bring along the other piece of clothing Clifton got for me but he asked me to leave them for whenever we visit the Cabin again.At the sight of Dion and Declan standing on the porch, I almost break into a run. Goddess! Those are my mates in flesh and blood.First, my eyes set on Declan who is now standing at the edge of the top step, waiting impatiently for me, with smiles plastered across his face.I hurriedly climb the short stairs to the porch and swing my arms around him. He grabs my waist easily

~Xyana~"My best friend is back!" Mona screams from across the hallway to my room.When she pushes my door open and sees me, she almost pushes me down flat on the floor. I literally cried into my room after the squabble between Dion and Clifton. I do not understand why Dion would behave the way he did. I agree that he might be upset, but aren't there better ways to handle his feelings?"Finally," Mona giggles as she holds me tight in a hug. "Nobody would tell me where you went to. Gamma Dion said you took a short vacation and I bawled my eyes out that day.""Why?" I ask, amused.She finally let go and sat on the bed. "Well, you went for a vacation without telling me. You didn't even mention it at any point in our discussion. So I thought you were mad at me. I tried calling several times but your lines never go through." She tugs on my arm. "Were you mad at me?"I shake my head, giggling. "Of course not. It was an impromptu surprise vacation. You know how my mates can be." I reply fol

~Xyana~I found it strange when I didn't see Adina around my room since I got back. I've been attended to by an Omega named Fresca who barely says any word other than 'yes ma'am, food is ready, no ma'am,' and several other short clipped sentences.Adina will always add drama to her services. So much so that I find myself either laughing, angry, or entertained.I made my way downstairs to the little room the Omega directed me to. The room is small, with a fitting furniture arrangement that makes it appear like a small conference room. Excluding the Alpha, my mates were already seated on one part of the desk. Leaving the chairs on the opposite side empty and that of the head of the table. When Declan sees me, he walks around the desk to the opposite side, where he draws out a chair for me. Everybody looks tense. Even Declan, who is trying to be nice, has his cheekbones sharp and tight from the force at which he's clamping down on his teeth.I sit across them in silence while we wai

~Xyana~Juno stirs at Gaston's information. I don't even blame her. What the hell is a 'Faywolf' for crying out loud?"Alright," I say firmly, my palms raised. "I think this is spiraling out of control. Let's take a step back, shall we?"I turn to the men across the desk and the Alpha at the head. There is so much tension in the room right now. Declan leans forward, nodding, trying to ease the moment. “You have our attention, Pretty. Go ahead, speak.”Bones is always the rational one among his brothers. But Clifton is on edge, looking super ready to explode. His jaw is clenched so tightly I’m afraid he’ll shatter a molar. While Dion on the other hand is silent, scowling as if we all betrayed him.I turn to Gaston and ask, “Why am I going to turn into a Fairy?”He looks at me as if to say 'that's a damn good question.' One I’ve braced myself to answer.He straightens his spine and looks me in the eye. “Like I told you, before now, I didn’t have the full picture. There was a prophecy,

~Gaston~Immediately I stepped into Dion's room, I realized that I hadn't been paying attention to the people around me enough.This whole thing about witches, demons, war, and the rest has been taking up most of my time that I forgot to really check in with Dion and understand how he's really faring.The depressing state of his room made me wince. Empty alcohol bottles, heaps of clothes lying around the room, and shoes, too. His living room chairs are all scattered and out of position.With the unpleasant odor in the room, I wonder if the Packhouse doesn't clean his room anymore."I don't remember asking anyone to come in," Dion says to me as I step into his room.He's sitting on the bare floor, resting his back on the wall while his gaze is fixed on his entrance door."What do you want from me?" He asked.I take one last look at the room before speaking. "How long has this been going on?" He doesn't answer, but I'm certain he heard me. At what point really has he been like this? "D

~Xyana~It took me a few more turns before I got to the warrior's training ground. Activities were booming. There was no sign of Bones at first, but the warriors pointed me to a closed room. I knocked at first but when I didn't get any word from the person behind the door, I pushed it open.Bones was sitting on the only sofa in the room. The room itself is a pretty and scarcely furnished space that holds a few decent furniture, including a bed."Pretty," he calls standing up and rushing towards me. "What are you doing here?" I don't miss the shock in his voice too."I had to speak to you." I voice out.The way things ended at the little meeting we had with Gaston wasn't nice. I acknowledge that I should have spoken to each of them first before making such a proposal to Gaston. But I had no idea our discussion would go that way. "Bones, I'm so sorry..."He melts at my apology and walks over to meet me at the door. Surprisingly, he hugged me
