Our Mark - Levantus POV

I don’t know what it is that she feels beneath my beautiful woman’s skin. I cannot control what has her so worried, but I can give her myself. She’s accepted me, she wants me. Hearing her say she is ready to have my mark has given me my whole world. “I love you, Odessa.”I say softly right before kissing her, feeling and sensing her love being returned to me. I’m careful to lift her into my arms and pull her close. My steps carry us back to the bed where I lay her down. My lips find hers again before I slip her nightgown off. It makes me growl sensually when I see there isn’t anything but panties underneath. “Goddess, Little Queen, you’re so beautiful… so mine…”I lean in and kiss her deeply, growling as I do. Her hands frame my face before moving to tangle her fingers in my hair. My lips then move to kiss her brow, cheeks, chin, jaw, before making my way down. Not yet, no, not yet. More for her first.I tell myself and my wolf as our teeth, lips and tongue taste her throat and ne

It’s time

********** Thalia POV **********It’s tiring work, building up a spell and curse, reaching something long distance. It would be better if I was closer, but safer here. So, I spent the last three days preparing, building power, gathering all that was needed. It’s almost the right hour, three more hours and the moon will be at its peak. Three more hours and I’ll do what should have been done all those years ago. I smile as I continue focusing, taking the fresh items that had been brought to me per my list. It’s all just a matter of time. ********** Sego POV **********Thalia is on the move, I can feel her black magic even from here. It always sends a chill down my spine. Regardless, she’s on my side and she’s after our same enemy. I have wolves ready, waiting, biting at the bit to move. They await my command, await my sign to move. Once I know the threat has been neutralized, the signal will raise and all hell will break loose. It’s only a matter of time and I’ll take all of what’s

Roar

The sky begins to darken with both storm clouds from the west and the setting of the sun. Tensions running high as people scramble to prepare for the upcoming battle. Many are unsure there will actually be a battle. Other than the future queen advising something was coming, there are no other signs. None of the scouts or patrols have reported anything amiss. When the darkness unleashes itself, it comes swiftly and loudly. One minute, there is absolute silence and the next, scouts are shouting through the mindlinks, explosions shake the ground, and a loud roar splits the air moments before lightning flashes and thunder rolls. Levantus and his men rush to answer the scouts’ calls, rolling out strategies as best as they can as things come. Odessa moves with Levantus, aiding where she can, while Arius rushes out to meet the enemy with the men outside. “Send the 9th guard to the west side immediately. Have we had any disturbances at the safe zones

The Clash

Connor watches Levantus leave and turns back to watch as the witch kneels by Odessa’s side. He doesn’t like this, the random witch appearing while all hell has broken loose. Odessa having been bound by a witch before and suddenly falling as she has then a witch appearing… it just seems like too much is happening at once. Could this witch be the one to blame in the first place?He pulls out his silver dagger, ready to do whatever needs to be done. He will protect Odessa with his life if he needs to. The elder laughs a little and turns her head to meet his eyes. Her own gray eyes lit up with power he couldn’t ever understand.“Listen pup, listen well… You will know the difference between what feels like my magic and what feels wrong. There will be two forces clashing in this room tonight. There will be light and shadow and it is going to be intense. The outcome depends on our focus. The witch you and yours seeks to kill is hiding like a coward dee

Sego - Levantus POV

I howl loudly as I rush into another group of rogues. There are bodies all over the place. Thankfully, they mostly look like rogues, but we won’t know the count until it’s over. My heart is absolutely hammering my chest. I’m torn between feeling my mate’s pain and fighting the good fight. Connor does his best to ensure I know what’s happening when he can. He warned me she would be in pain, but we have to trust it’s part of her fight to break through. I’m growing tired of Sego’s cowardly actions. Sending wolves in to do his fight, but not stepping in himself. I can’t help my frustration because I want to rip him apart for everything he has done. I find myself focusing on four wolves, rogues that are pushing at overwhelming two of my people. I kill the first I plow into instantly before turning on the second, slashing his jaw and throat out with my claws. Right as I take the third down, I sense it. The power shift in the air, the storm grows eve

Awakening

Deep within the castle, the witch continues her work with Connor’s aid. The two different magics working continuing to clash. The power struggle is immense and the dark energy is trying to seek a way to reconnect to the dark energy outside the circle. The witch closes her eyes and amps up her focus while she chants. Mixed within her chanting are prayers to the Moon Goddess, seeking to undo wrongs that have been done. Right as everything seems to crescendo, Odessa suddenly goes limp, her eyes partially open and empty. Her lifeless body lay in the center with the dark energy writhing within it as well. Connor goes to move, panic strickens him for a moment. The witch’s voice lashes out to him. “No! Don’t break the circle, trust the process! Trust your lady and her wolf!”Her words stop him cold, though he can’t understand how she could be so calm about the situation. He tries to reel himself back in, though he can feel the loss of Odessa

Reprieve

After such a heavy battle, there is a reprieve. Most of the dead are rogues, about 23 altogether with 10 warrior deaths. Despite who died on what side, the loss is devastating. Buildings and grounds have been damaged as well. The only blessing is that the kingdom did not fall and Odessa now stands. With her wolf restored, her vision has returned as well. Her eyes are now their natural amethyst color. Whatever energy she emitted when she awakened that healed and rejuvenated, caused wolves close to death to heal enough for help to arrive while smaller wounds healed. Levantus was able to completely heal because of his direct mate bond to her. His worst wounds still require some healing, but he was able to stand again. ~~~~~~~~ Odessa POV ~~~~~~~~~Sego. I’ve known for years that he is a despicable man, but it still hurt. I can’t help but carry some blame on my own shoulders. It feels like I keep failing and people keep getting hurt.

The Elder Witch - Odessa POV

I walk with Levantus down hallways within the castle, aiming toward the room given to the witch. As expected, there are guards outside of her doors, but they are for her protection. I’ve noticed how every guard and worker in the castle have taken to bowing to me. It makes me feel incredibly self conscious. As the king’s mate, it means a lot even before becoming official. I steer my mind away from things that don’t need to be faced right this second. Right now, I need to know more about this witch and what has happened. I knock on the door and a voice answers. “Come in, dears.”We walk in to find her propped up in bed. She has a tray of some food and water nearby, but she’s hardly touched it. She gives me a kind smile and it makes my heart clench. She reminds me a lot of the woman who helped ground me when I was lost and gave Arius and me so much before she passed. “Hello, how are you feeling?” I ask while Levantus

Plotting - 3rd Person POV

Rowena smiles as she watches the love blooming and warming between Odessa and Levantus. “Child, I can give you some training, but a lot of what you have in you will be triggered along the way. Also, due to your bond, Levantus may end up receiving some gifts himself through you. It’s part of the balance between you. You are facing powerful enemies, that cursed wolf had a lot of powers he stole and a witch or two in his pocket. You’ll need to become stronger to be able to stand against them.”Levantus growls as he curls an arm around Odessa. He rubs his nose against her head and breathes her in. “We can do it, together we can face whatever is to come. I know it…”Rowena laughs and shakes her head. “Unfortunately you can’t do much for her training. But yes, you’re both going to need each other to face things ahead. However, her training is going to be a little more difficult now that her sight is back.”Levantus looks thrown and

Begin Training - Odessa POV

Two days later, Levantus guides Rowena and I out into the gardens. He takes us into a cluster of trees that opens up into a wide clearing. “This spot is completely hidden and no one knows about but myself and my beta.”I walk around the clearing, taking in the space we have and look to Rowena. “What do you think? Is this going to work?”I have no idea how much space we are going to need, so I lean on her insights. She smiles, puts her hands on her hips, and nods. “Yes, this will work just fine. If we need more, we can figure something else out. After we get a little deeper into training, we will need you, your Majesty, but for now, you’ll just be a little distracting. Before we go out separate ways, I have something for both of you.”She reaches into a pocket in her dress and pulls out two pendants. One is on a thick titanium chain, the pendant is in the shape of claw, obsidian stone in the center of the paw, tigers eye claws.
