Head on

Elder Richard P.O.V.While Maddison and Liam are at the gathering at the vampire Court, I promised to look more into the spy situation at the Council headquarters. We already gathered quite a lot of evidence of foul play, and I’m ashamed to admit it reaches a level within the Elders I never thought possible. Harriet and the kids have been helping me when I’ve worked from home, but with the situation coming to a head soon, we need the advantage this can give us, and Mills called this morning and asked me to come into the office today. He would meet me here just after noon, which should be soon. The phone rings, and as I reach out to answer it, there’s a knock on my door. I answer for the person who is knocking to come in, and then answer the phone. “Hello?” “Am I speaking to Elder Richard Halsted from the Iron Mountain pack?” A gruff voice on the other end says, right as Elder Garrick walks in with a sly smile. “This is he.” I answer, gesturing to him to sit down and excuse the ph

The rescue

Balder P.O.V.Derek and Adria told me they arrived safely at the vampire Court, and then kept me updated throughout the events. When I got the call about what had almost happened to my nephew and nieces I was livid, but I could do nothing from Iron Mountain. We agreed they would go in our stead because we would keep the borders safe with Beta Kendrick and the other ranked members in Blackmoon. So far it had been quiet, but none of us were putting our guards down, we know it’s just a question about time. Derek then texted me about a ritual and the cliffsnote version of what it stood for. He wanted to make sure he had authorization to do such a thing. “He is a cautious one.” Lillie comments from my side, reading over my shoulder. I nod, kissing her cheek and answering he has the power to do what is best for the pack and we back him and Adria a hundred percent. “I know, but he is damned good at his job, and I would have sought my Alpha’s permission with something as out of context as

Looped in (Part one)

Lucas P.O.V.“Crown Prince Lucas, may I have a word?” Alpha Liam asks coming down the hallway where my quarters are placed. It’s late, and I was on my way to bed, but the urgency in his eyes has me halting and I nod to him.“What can I do for you, Alpha Liam?” I ask, turning fully. Over his shoulder I can see his mate and Cian waiting down the hall, both of them looking in our direction. Cian makes eye contact with me, and for a moment I feel his emotions as if they were my own. Anger, determination and slight amusement. What a mix, and then they’re gone as if they were never there. The bond is getting stronger, and I do not know what to feel about that? Cian is still my mate's other mate, and not mine in any way, and this is just confusing as hell. “We received word from our pack tonight, and it’s disturbing. My brother-in-law is the Alpha of Iron Mountain..”“Alpha Balder?” “Then one and the same. I forgot you met him and Lillie already.” I nod, waiting for him to go on. He takes

Looped in (Part two)

Cian P.O.V.As everyone on our end settles back into the chairs around the laptop on the table, the maiden stands behind her Queen, which is custom with them, I glance at the time on the top of the computer screen. It’s almost 3 in the morning, and I wonder why I do not feel more tired than I do? The thought does not linger though as Luna Maddison clears her throat. “I think we’re ready for that story now, scribe Josin, and then it’s off to be with all of us. We can regroup in the morning before Liam, the kids and I travel back home with Queen Yrina and Anilop.”“Right. Well, everything started when former Elder Garrick approached scribe Kammie who is placed right besides me in the scribe quarters. He apparently is of the impression that neither woman nor man can work and listen at the same time, and Kammie never thought I would do anything about what they were speaking about.” He sighs, shaking his head. “She has always been that kind of woman who you got everything in writing with,

It keeps coming

MaddisonMidmorning, and Liam and I have slept for maybe a couple of hours. The children have been up since we went to bed, and King Cameron and Queen Sierra have been so lovely to take them and entertain them with their own girl so we could get some sleep. They said their son had briefly updated them on the situation at hand, and they are offering warriors to escort us home. I’m very grateful, but we already have a plan ready in that regard. Lilliana. She is going to make a portal in the outside courtyard at noon, and we are going to walk straight through that and into the packhouse back at Blackmoon.We eat a quiet brunch in our room, neither of us awake enough to say much. Liam keeps glancing at the notes he made last night/early this morning, and I just concentrate on getting food in my system and not throwing it up again. This little one is not a fan of food at any time during the day, and if she is then only certain items, but I have to get something down. Yes, we are having a g

Three-sided game

Druida P.O.V.Afternoon. I’m working outside, sitting crosslegged in the shade with a notepad on my legs and writing memories, new and old, dreams and reminders down when someone shouts in the distance. I look up to see Kane waving from the back entrance to the training yard, and I sigh as I close my notebook, concealing it with magic to look like an ordinary book on defense magic. If anyone but me looks inside they will see pages filled with dull words about boring movements, spells and warding for beginners and more advanced in the end of the ‘book’. I was asked this morning if I would be able to train some of the warriors who are showing magical potential, and said yes because I know the alternative is Elisa and she is not getting her grimy paws on individuals she can suck dry for magic before they can ward themselves against her. I look to the sky as I feel Alora’s presence hover above me, and see nothing but skies coming together in dark grey masses. “It looks like it’s going t

Reality checkin

Druida P.O.V.I told Silvan I was going to spy on the Blackmoon border for a while, which he seemed satisfied with. He even sent Lucas, still disguised as Kennock, and Kane with some of his men, with me as a precaution. As we walk the way between the camp and Blackmoon packgrounds, I have time to reflect over myself and some of the things I have seen, done and heard since coming back. Especially seeing little me, my brother and twin again. I had forgotten how happy we were as children, and I had forgotten that my brother was not always evil. Micha changed when mom and dad died, but it was not all at the same time. It was gradually, and as such, as he invited the darkness inside, he became more and more deranged from reality. Layla moved early on, wanting me to come with her into hiding, but I could not leave our pack to their destiny of being plagued with Alpha asshat and his minions without anyone fighting their case. Micha hated me in the end. He hated the fact that packmembers co

Freya redeemed

Lucas P.O.V.To say Alora was surprised was the understatement of the century, but she took it very well, and after some more small talk, she told Druida to sleep and she would take the first watch during the night. Druida protested, but we could all see how tired she was, and all of us told her to lay down and close her eyes, which she eventually did. I was secretly glad we have agreed with Kane and his people that they were on their own within the limits of the halfdome, and Angel made it rather large. They were out of earshot for the whole conversation about Druida and everything. It would have been a mess to clean up if they had also been involved in that. I think maybe Angel was covering us extra while we talked, but I do not want to bring it up, and she might just deny it to keep me on my toes. Cian then told Angel and I to do the same, and he would wake me in four hours for my shift. I didn’t have to be told twice, so I cuddled up behind Druida, who turned over in her sleep,

Stake out, with a twist

Cian “This is taking forever..” “No, this is what you do when you do it right and not just charge in with your head under your arms.” “And it is taking too long.” “You are seriously incapable of having any kind of patience, Cian.” “And you are incapable of..” “If the two of you do not shut up right this instant, neither of you will be capable of anything but being dead on the ground.” Beta Kendrick growls quietly, making Lucas and I look behind us. We have been staking out the ambush camp since we ended the conversation with Luna Maddison and her mate in the afternoon, and it’s close to 3am. I’m currently bored out of my mind, and Lucas the ever partypooper has utterly forbidden me from scaring the living daylights out of the camp people. Which means my last resort to actually have something to occupy my mind from the fact that my mate is not here at the moment, was to bicker with Lulu The Golden - which also has been turned into dust now. “You try that Beta boy, and I will te

Ambushing the ambush (Part one)

Druida P.O.V. The pale grey of dawn always was a comfort for me, as it takes over from the penetrating darkness of night. Not that I do not like the night, I do; it’s quiet and I can get work done during the night that would never work in the day. But dawn always was my favourite part of the day; the perfect mix between night and day - quiet still, but promising noise soon, just not yet.I think back to my childhood, the one that is playing out right now in this timeline. The one where my father, who is talking quietly with my mother a little way from me, always found me whenever I snuck out of the packhouse during the dawn hours. Back to the times where mom and I talked, spared, trained magic and laughed during these quiet times, where her shoulders finally relaxed fully. Where she was just mom and not Luna, not someone who was always going somewhere, or talking to someone. My parents always made time for me and my siblings. Do not get me wrong. They were amazing parents. They were
