The Four Horsemen Laura Thalassa Novels & Stories

The air crackles with the aftershock—blue fire still burns on the hearth, licking at stone and shadow. The villagers and pack cower where they’ve fallen, every face turned to the center of the hall. Rowan, dust rising from his knees, stares at Thalia, half-afraid to move. Thalia stands in a broken circle of scorched floorboards. Her hair clings wild and damp to her cheeks; her skin is ghost-pale except for two burning spots of color high on her cheeks. Her eyes, wide and glassy, glow like coals struck by moonlight.

“Let's just go home.” “But this has made matters worse, Vanya is now so angry at us.” “What if he is angry at us‽ Why are you feeding his ego and making him feel too important?” “Because he is dangerous and cruel don't you see?” The car fell silent. I leaned back, lips curling into a slow, dangerous grin. My laugh was low and sharp, cutting through the stale air like a blade. “I am Hayley Lorenzo Bonham Carter.” I proclaimed. “The Queen of the PrideWolf country. The Luna mother, the unbroken, and the moon goddesses delight. Vanya should be afraid of me, everyone should, including you."

It was as though the entire hall bowed to their presence…even the air felt denser. Headmistress Adelaide lifted her hand, and the hall’s massive doors sealed shut behind the Alphas, the sound echoing like a warning. “These four men,” she said, her voice steady and sharp, “are not simply leaders. They are the pillars that keep our world balanced. To stand beside them is to share their strength… and their burden.” Her gaze swept across the five of us, her tone like the crack of thunder. “You are here because the Moon has deemed you potential Lunas. But only one among you will be chosen by each Alpha—and one will walk away alone.”

Rhea stood beside her, clutching something tightly wrapped in cloth. Elara drew her blade. “Don’t,” Mara said, lifting her hand. “You can’t stop us.” “Try me,” Elara hissed. “You’re outnumbered,” Mara said. I looked around. Four more figures stepped from the trees. All spies. “Back away,” Rhea warned. “Or this goes to Dorian tonight.” “Elara—” I began. “We’re not letting them go,” she growled. “Then you’ll die here,” Mara said.

She had never been able to touch her wolf this way before. “Am I in heaven?” “No,” a gentle voice called. “You are in my realm.” Laura gasped. The woman was beautiful as she crossed the brook towards her, gliding across the surface of the water like a spirit. Long, silver curls spiraled around her shoulders and her eyes were as black as the night sky. As she drew closer, Laura recognized the glinting phases of the moon embroidered on the hem of her skirt. She trembled, realizing who the woman had to be: the moon goddess.

” “Wait, hold on a minute! Did you just say, “THEY?” I nodded my head with a smile on my face. “Yes, there are more than one?” Elena froze and blinked just her eyes. “Tell me, who are these men?” Elena's question was like a volcano waiting to erupt. I knew this would be her reaction. “Well, the first is, Mr. Drake, who I just found out was actually Alpha Drake.” “Oh my world! Keira, this is the best news I've ever heard. And the other one?” “I have two more mates. One is Damson and the last is Ethan. The baffling thing is that my story is that they are all brothers, Elena.”

"Cody, war is already here. It is on your door step. You must face it and win. We will stand beside you when the time comes. We must get to the luna lilies before the Ghost does. Let's get up and find them. You said they were in this meadow. Will you show me the way?" Ursa rises off the ground and shakes the grass from her mane. She looks just like a horse, but her golden horn and ability to talk to humans and werewolves sets her apart from her wild lesser cousins, the horses. "Yes, I will show you. They are down over there under that large oak tree in the center of the field." Queen Ursa follows behind me and the wind changes directions. It blows the way the queen walks. The birds follow he

I asked. " I am afraid I do not know. I know that you alone will recognize them when you see them in all of your lifetimes. They will have a red glow around them through your eyes. They will be blessed by the power of Ares, meaning strength, durability, and heightened senses. They are not pure enough to be blessed with Ichor blood, but they will be strong no the less. Fate has designed them to cross paths with you, just as your current mates have. Do not give in to temptation the four horsemen can possess. I fear what could happen if you should ever fall into their darkness", she said. A white light started to envelop her.

Laura said and they all walked out of the chamber. * Laura arrived at the hall where the pack elders were waiting, they all stood up and bow. "Greetings Luna." The elderest Chief Marcus greeted. "Greetings to you too elder Marcus, is so great to see you again and it's an honor for us that you came here." Laura replied. "It's my pleasure, you look great." Elder Marcus said. "Thank you." Laura beamed. "I guess beta Adam has informed you about the first ritual You will be performing." Elder Marcus asked.

Then the rumbling grew to a jangling crashing din. Out of the gaping crevice in the ground emerged six black horses, dragging behind them a golden chariot. In the chariot stood a tall awe-inspiring woman in a flowing black cape. On her head was a black crown. Her long moon shadow-black hair flowed like silk over her shoulders. Persephone was frozen by the sudden presence of the Underworld Monarch. She couldn't even think to utter a word before she was whisked off her feet by a pair of strong arms onto the golden chariot.
