Nesta’s POV:I woke up to a cold feeling at my back as the breeze coming from the open window slid against my bare skin.I groaned and pulled up the silk sheets higher and almost jumped out of the bed when a large arm snaked around me and pulled me into a warm embrace. The fog of sleep cleared from my mind and I blushed as I remembered the events of last night. His touch was branded on my skin and I smelled like him from head to toe, anyone who saw me today would know what I had done last night. I buried my face in the pillow and snuggled into Devon, his chest pressing against my back and I felt him let out a small sigh, the masculine sound travelling through my body and I shivered. "Still cold?" He asked, his voice rough with sleep and I felt that churning at the pit of my stomach again. He rose on his hands and hovered above and I wrapped my arms around his waist instinctively, bringing him down as I kissed his brow and the soft flutter of his eyelashes against my chin made me

Nesta’s POV:Devon's fingers curled around my fisted hand and he slowly opened it to intertwine our fingers and brought it to his lips, kissing my knuckles as he breathed against my skin. "I am so sorry." He whispered in a breathless voice and I felt the self loathing and guilt of his through the bond, he felt scared at the prospect of losing me, that panic was eating away at him, he couldn't get the thought out of his mind, he thought that he would lose me just like he lost all of his family. I didn't know how I felt about the fact that I was not just a werewolf anymore and I didn't want to think about it so I decided to push it back and focus on Devon. He needed me. I made a soothing sound as I cupped his jaw in my hands, my own eyes tearing up at how much he was hurting inside."I am never going to leave you. You are my mate and my very heart beats just for you. I-I came back just for you." I told him, my voice cracking at the end as I remembered the darkness that had awaited my d

Devon’s POV:I rushed through the mansion, my feet almost slipping on the smooth floor, Daniel following behind. A few humans tried to intervene, servants who gave up after I knocked out one or two who were too bold to come in my way. I followed the scent of Nesta, through a dark corridor and down a dimly lit stairway and then I heard the voices and the slow but steady heart beat of my mate. She was alive, I growled and burst through the half closed door, the door banging on the wall. My eyes went straight to the pale naked body on the floor, the white marble of the room stained with red blood, I saw the torn skin at her neck, blood sticking to her pale skin, her cheeks were stained with tears and I couldn't control the snarl that ripped out of me, rage boiling my blood. "She's not dead!" Someone yelled and I looked at the man wearing the white coat, his brown eyes staring at me in fear and panic. I knew who he was. I didn't wait for him to speak again and launched myself at him, my

Devon’s POV:"She came to my lands, threatened to slaughter all my people if I didn't do what she wanted, I had seen her power, sensed her horrible hate, I knew she would do it if I refused and that was even before I met Louisa, my mate." His throat bobbed as he paused, his eyes not meeting mine. "She went away for a few years and I didn't hear from her until after I was mated to Louisa. I thought that she had forgotten about me but.." his lips twisted in a bitter smile as he looked up. "She sent a bloody heart in a gift box to my doorsteps to congratulate me on my wedding and then after a few months I received a summon, her asking me to attend a ball, to take my best assassin with me to take down the Ulfric and I was told to capture you as well but you left early that night, taking Nesta with you and I didn't get the chance, thank Luna. I was.. I was horrified. I didn't want to do it, even thinking about it was like going against the motherland. I couldn't do it and I went to her, t

Louisa’s POV:I could feel my heart calming as I dragged my fingers through Daniel's fur, he was sleeping in his wolf form, too exhausted to change forms and it was a good thing for him as being in his other form sped up his healing. I watched him snuggle into my lap and press his snout in my palm, his eyes opening and closing as he peeked at my face. I was happy and so relieved that he was back, I breathed in heavily as a scene from earlier flashed before my eyes. I was sleeping when the Beta's wife had barged in my room with a strained look on her face, I had expected the worse but when a bleeding Daniel had stumbled through the main door of the mansion, his feet bare and bleeding heavily on the white carpet as he had collapsed onto the tea table and turned into his wolf form. I closed my eyes and buried my face in his neck, nuzzling the fur there as we breathed together. My mate was alive and safe, it was like everything was right with my world again. A soft knock sounded on the

Nesta’s POV:My body was on fire, I wanted to get out of these damn clothes and I clawed at my skin, it was on fire too. Everything was so hot. Someone said something to me but I was not in the mood to listen as I ripped open my shirt and shrugged out of my pants, I needed to change. My bones shifted with each step I took, I needed to go out, feel the wet dirt beneath my paws, the crisp wind bit into my body as I raced through the forest, I wanted to talk to the mists, I wanted to be one with the forest and never come out. "Nesta, it's not like I don't appreciate the view but you need to get back in your clothes. I don't want to die at Devon's hands. Okay?" Xavier drawled from somewhere in the room but I wasn't listening. I was much too aware of my wolf and how angry she was, she was breaking free and I was letting her. I shook my head frantically and rushed towards the only door I could see. I didn't stop when he called again because I couldn't and didn't want to. I just wanted to b

It actually took Brandy more like ten minutes to get ready, but when she came out of the bathroom, finally finished, she glowed like the Moon Goddess herself - more than usual. Her hair was in a curly bun, strands falling loose and spilling onto her forehead and by her temples. Her makeup was stunning and bold, bringing out her hazel, chocolaty eyes. I honestly didn't mind her estimate was off because she looked absolutely gorgeous in the time given. "You look stunning," I awed as we walked out of my dorm. "Thanks!" Brandy smiled, pushing back a wavy curl, tucking it behind her ear, "I know it won't matter in what - Less than an hour? - but if this is my last chance at looking good, then I wanna rock it!""And you're wearing short enough shorts to be hidden by that dress," I joked. "These are what I call my bar shorts. I wear them when I'm trying to get-" I cut her off before she could finish. "Woah! Woah! Woah!" I stopped her before she could finish, "Let's just get to the cleari

I turned to Lindsay irritably, giving her a sour glare, "Go ahead.""Alright," that was the only time I'd ever heard Lindsay even resemble being hesitant, "Well I'm having trouble.. accepting death.""Why do you have to?" I asked incredulously, surprised by her statement."If I have no hope left, I fight better. The thought of losing everything, not being there makes it easier for me to fight like hell, give it my all like it'll be my last fight," Lindsay shook her head in an almost pitiful despair, "but now, I just can't. I feel like I do have things to lose.""It might help you - we all have our methods of keeping cool in the heat of battle - but not being ready to die isn't necessarily a bad thing," I challenged, "Nobody's ready to die. In fact, you shouldn't be. The will to live should drive you, not the lack thereof.""What should I do now?" Lindsay muttered stubbornly, "How will I be able to control my anxiety without the complete lack of care for my life?""Do you hear yoursel

The first to reach me and bombard me with questions was Clayton, her face a mask of anxiety, while Matt looked mellow and slightly irritated as per usual. She chewed nervously on the corner of her plush pink lip before approaching me, her eyes darting back and forth restlessly, "H-hey, Ruby. Can we talk? Matt and I have some things we're worried about and I could really use someone other than Matt to console me."I opened my mouth to answer her, a gentle expression spreading across my features, but just as words began to form in my mouth, Iona interrupted me, suddenly having been the second one to reach me, "Ruby, I need some help with something. I have this internal conflict type thing going on, and I could really use your superior knowledge of how to control emotions."Looking at her a light bit impatient, I began to hold up a hand to tell her to wait, but was interrupted yet again by a harsher voice this time. It was Lindsay, "Hey, we need to talk. I need to clarify some things qui

Axel's POV:"Oh yeah," I nodded in acknowledgement, not bothering to glance down at my hand, "I must have pricked my hand on some branches. I'm fine, so-""No! Look!' Broddi said urgently, giving my wrist a slight tug, "Look at your blood! It's silver!""What?" I asked, dazed, my heart beat picking up immensely. I lowered my eyes, everything around me moving in slow motion, down to the faintly stinging, shallow marks in my palm. Sure enough, my inner forearm was spattered with scarlet intertwined with a sparkling silver, "W-What does this mean?""I think it means," Broddi gulped, looking from my wrist into my eyes, his eyes reflecting the same emotion I felt; horror, "you have Lunar Blood.""I-I can't!" I stammered, "I've bled before, and I've never seen it silver! This has to be some sort of mistake! It must have been something I ate!""You're shaking," Broddi observed, worriedly, "Let's find the end of this path and settle down. I really don't want you passing out on me just yet."I

The alarm that I set the night prior before I drifted to sleep, blared achingly loud now in the morning when I really didn't want to wake up. I rolled over, and like an annoyed teen before school, I slammed my fist on the snooze button, nearly smashing the machine to bits. Milo laid beside me, and didn't budge as I sat up, grunting irritably while doing so. It was a few minutes before I had the energy to stand up, and when I did, I nearly collapsed back down.The whole lower part of my body was aching unbearably, and the tingling was steadily creeping upward, corrupting my lower stomach. The events of last night rushed back to my memory like a flood, and I groaned, the anxiety already stored within my chest mounting twice as fast.Ignoring the awful pain in my legs, and tense muscles in my thighs, I scrambled to my suitcase, pulled out one of my more dainty outfits, and scurried into my bathroom, uncomfortable changing around Milo again, who still slept peacefully on one of my golden

I sighed, and plopped down on the edge of the rock, swinging my legs over the ledge, and resting my head in my hands. After what felt like years of everyone in the clearing arguing over whether the plan was sufficient and had no flaws, practically making it fool-proof, everyone, more or less, came to an agreement, and we were all able to go home to get some rest for the big day. My legs were cramped, my throat was scratchy, I'd developed a migraine, and I was mildly irritated, but the plan was finally finished, so a satisfied feeling spread over me, soothing everything wrong. "What's wrong?" Grey asked, sitting down beside me, grunting while doing so. "Nothing," I yawned, rubbing my eyes, "I'm just tired.""Probably, considering you're used to sleeping three times a day," Grey teased, referring to yesterday when we spent the day together and I fell asleep multiple times. "Call me what you want," I smiled back, "I'm not ashamed to be one who can fall asleep easily. You'll be wishin
