Chapter: Chapter 42: Pythia POV:It's been a few weeks since we have been home and got settled. We fell into our new routine for now, both of the boys have been doing really good. Julie has been checking on all of the babies. The other girls went into labor literally a day apart. We haven't really seen anyone else since I have preferred to get us into a normal routine but Lillith and Phil came by and said that my dad and my aunt along with Kathrine will be coming by to pay me a visit. I'm not really worried about the grand council right now, they are the very least of my priorities. I healed up faster than I thought I would and I feel better than ever. Damien and Storm haven't come by to visit, I've been told they won't leave the house they are in. Others have come by to make sure we had what we needed and I couldn't thank them enough. "They are here." Tye said softly. We just got Apollo down for a nap and the last thing we wanted to do was wake hi

Chapter: Chapter 41:Pythia POV:I had no idea that labor would be this painful. Full on contractions started not long ago and I have never wanted to kill someone so badly in my life but right now I wanted to rip off Tyes head. "I swear to goddess you aren't touching me for a while." I grunted through another contraction. "That's fine I will wait as long as it takes." Tye said sweetly as he took a wet washcloth and wiped the sweat off my forehead. "Why are you being so sweet. I am not being nice to you at all." I grunted. "Well I mean you are about to give birth to our son and for that alone I would take all of the mean words in the world." Tye replied softly. Okay now I just feel like a mean ass but this truly hurts. "Well let's see how you are doing." Julie announced as she walked in. "How is Ambrosia? Is her and Artemis alright?" I asked. "They are doing just fine, both of them are resting." Julie replied. I knew Ambrosia was getting close and I

Chapter: Chapter 40: Pythia POV:Brandon left last night with a few others so that he can go and see if Leia is in fact his mate. Alley also went into labor yesterday, we have been waiting to see the twins. She is the first of us to go into labor and that made me happy and nervous at the same time. I know she was hurting and heck I couldn't blame her for being so ready to give birth. "We have babies! A boy and a girl!" Stephen shouted happily. "Oh goddess congratulations! How is Alley? How are the babies?" I asked. "She is doing good, the babies are doing really good. Both in very good health. We have Ashlee Marie and William Douglas." Stephen replied. There was such a bright light in his eyes. "Y'all can come in and see them if y'all want to." Stephen stated. "Well move because I want to see me niece and nephew and check on Alley." I said pushing by him. I could hear Tye laughing behind me. I walked through the door and seen Alley had a baby in ea

Chapter: Chapter 39: Pythia POV: I didn't feel like being inside all day so I made Tye and Brandon lay out a large blanket while I grabbed a couple snacks and Ambrosia grabbed some drinks for us. The minute she heard about what was happening she came over and inspected me herself and then came back this morning so I wouldn't get bored sitting around by myself. As we walked outside I stopped to see what the boys had done. They had an entire set up for us, the blanket I had picked out was laid out the way I wanted to but I see they added what they wanted as well, they placed umbrellas like you see at a pool at each corner so that we would be shaded, they also put cute little lawn chairs down for us to sit in. "I figured this would be more comfortable for you both." Tye said as he walked up to us. "It is absolutely perfect. Thank you so much." I replied, smiling at him. This was the perfect set up for what Ambrosia and I were going to try to accomplish today. As we sat down Tye, Brandon and Jackson sat

Chapter: Chapter 38:Pythia POV: We were not expecting to stay another night so Phil decided that we would go find a mall or something so we could get another respectful outfit and grab dinner while we were out. My mind has been racing since we got back in last night, if Alley didn't spread spirit to me then who did? Did I somehow bend the element like the book said I could? If so, how in the hell did I do it? Standing back in this room with the elders in front of us again didn't seem so intimidating with the rest standing firmly behind me. It seems like we have been standing here for hours while the elders reviewed what was handed to them. My dad and aunt didn't give anything away unlike the others who were visibly upset by what they were reading. "Where did you get all of this?" A male elder asked. "Everything we have is from the goddess herself." Alley replied easily. All at once their heads snapped up, "What do you mean they came from the goddess?" A woman asked. "There is much you do not know of

Chapter: Chapter 37:Pythia POV: I took one last look in the mirror before I went to meet the others. I decided on a really nice black pants suit with black flats since I was not about to walk around in heels. I curled the bottom of my hair and applied a small amount of makeup. To say I was nervous was an understatement, I took a deep breath and walked out of the large bathroom to meet the others. The men had on really nice sleek suits and Ambrosia had a dark red pants suit, it seemed like we all were thinking alike when we were figuring out what to wear. I had made my decision to help Brandon find his mate when we got back home. The man deserves that much right? I know he has been looking every chance he got but, I can see that he is losing faith. "Are we all ready?" Phil asked. "I believe we are, let's get this done and over with." I replied. As we descended down the elevator I tried to control my breathing, the questions that have been swirling in my head will be answered soon and even though I say

Chapter: Chapter 128:Alley POV: I heard gasps around the room and I knew this would be the reaction, "Yes, some of you knew Raleigh the precious great white witch, but Alley has proven she will hold her responsibilities with ease and pride, she fought bravely against Bosch and won, and it is my honor to introduce the two that will lead this council, Alpha Quincy my shield, Luna Alley, my Great White Witch of the Black Wood Pack!" Atheas voice boomed with pride and approval, the room exploded with cheers as we walked down the stairs and the room came in to view I could see a lot of them had shifted and were howling I could see my parents and my brothers with their mates crying and clapping, I held my head a little higher as pride swelled within me more than it already has. Packs that didn't know us looked to us with happiness, I held on tighter to Stephens arm. Not that I was afraid of anyone but I didn't want to trip on my own two feet and fall face first, that would be incredibly humiliating. As we reac

Chapter: Chapter 127:Alley POV: Today is the day we are officially announced as the counsel and honestly I am thrilled. We broke the news to everyone yesterday of my pregnancy and I was happy to learn that Ambrosia is also pregnant! She is farther along than I am but they kept it a secret until we were all together. I couldn't shake the sickness so Pythia had a calming tea made for me. She said it helped her through her pregnancy with Apollo. We are all curious to see if their kids will have traits of wolf and vampire but in time we will figure it out. As I finished dressing I took a long look at myself, with each year that passes my hair continues to grow more white. Not that I mind but in truth it is starting to look like Atheas hair. I often wondered what Raleigh looked like, I bet she was beautiful. One day I will get to meet her, a soft knock on the door before it opens to the most handsome man I have ever laid my eyes on. "You look beautiful and glowing princess." Stephen said, leaning against the

Chapter: Chapter 126:Alley POV: Oh I am going to kill Stephen. Okay well it takes two but still! Stephen started rubbing my back and I growled out. "Whoa easy there Alley what's wrong?" Stephen said, jerking his hand away. I stood up and turned to him. "Rose told me that I am pregnant." I muttered. A huge grin started spreading across his face. "Is she sure? We can get a test. Or I can call Julie. This is good news!" Stephen said, visibly excited. I narrowed my eyes and placed my hands on my hips. "You're not excited?" Stephen asked. "Well the last time it was twins, even though I had an easy pregnancy my back hurt like hell and I looked like a bloated whale!" I yelled. I could tell Stephen was trying his hardest not to laugh at me and I felt overly emotional right now. "It's going to be okay princess I promise. I've called Julie to meet us here and I am having Alex and Brandon pick up the twins." Stephen said. I wanted to cry. I wanted to have a total meltdown. I felt the sting in my eyes and I couldn't

Chapter: Chapter 125:Alley POV: It's been a very busy year. After we had the twins everything else happened at once, the other women had their babies a few days after I did. We have spent so much time together while our mates moved forward with the castle for the counsel and we have decided that we were all going to move in it and keep our Betas and Gammas at the pack houses, we wanted all of our kids to be close with each other because something deep within me told me that when it is time they will resume to counsel. Ambrosia and Jackson built a new castle for themselves a little closer while leaving the previous one to those who needed a home. Pythia and Tye have done the same although their home isn't as large but still, they built something of their own to have. We decided that it was best that we stay closer together, we were suppose to have the ceremony for us but with all of us having the babies Athea decided to hold off and let us finish what we needed to, tomorrow is the celebration and l

Chapter: Chapter 124:Alley POV: Oh my goddess it feels like she is literally trying to break me apart! "You're at a five, you will need to come with me to the hospital." Julie said, removing her hand. "How? I've only felt it a few times." I asked. I'm already halfway there and I've barely felt the pain. "Rose might be blocking some of that pain. Have you felt her?" Stephen asked as he helped me sit up. "Actually I haven't felt her since the pain started." I replied. "Rose? Are you holding the pain back?" I asked. "Yes, not much of it though." Rose replied as she sunk back into my mind. "She said she has but she hasn't held much of it back." I said looking at Julie. "Go get her bag ready and be back down here in five minutes." Julie said look at Stephen who quickly got to his feet and ran upstairs. Sammie helped me stand to my feet and I could already feel the soreness. Another sharp pain hit me and this time it felt like a steel cage was wrapped around my stomach. I gasped, grabbing onto Sammies arm. "Ow

Chapter: Chapter 123:Alley POV: I swear to the goddess I am going to pop any down now. I only have a few more days and I feel as big as a whale, my feet look like I am wearing puffer fish as slippers according to Alex and Brandon but in reality my feet are just swollen, not that I can see because I can't see over the ginormous belly that has sprung out. I literally can't do anything on my own, hell I can't even balance properly because I waddle everywhere. "Good morning princess." Stephen says as he walks out of the bathroom looking more than good. "Don't look at me like that, Julie said no sex until after and I'm not getting in trouble." Stephen stated narrowing his eyes at me. I may have gotten him in trouble a few times but what can I say? My hormones are out of control. "I'm not even sorry, can you help me please?" I asked to take the covers off of me. I want to shower and try to get my day started. Stephen walked over and grabbed my arms sitting me up, he placed one hand at my lower back while st

Chapter: Chapter 58: Leia POV: As we stood still waiting for alpha Scott to really begin I could still see the confusion on some of their faces. This was something that was kept a secret for the most part and now they are all about to find out what really happened. "As we wait for them to be brought out I would like to explain why the Blackwood pack along with the covens are doing here." He said finally speaking. "Leia was once part of this pack until she was not only captured by Bosch but was under what we know as the forbidden magic. To better explain I would like to invite Pythia up." Scott nodded towards her. I could feel my heart racing, there were details that I did not want anyone to know and I knew that Pythia wouldn't bring them up. "Hello everyone, when it comes to the forbidden magic there is a difference, you see we are dark witches are able to use dark magic on a lot of things but the forbidden magic is by far the worst. It has the potential to morph us into different creatures essentiall

Chapter: Chapter 57: Leia POV: I woke up this morning not really sure how I was feeling about what today's events would unfold. We were all curious about how they would react to it. While I washed my hair my mind drifted back to the conversation that took place when we all were sitting around the porch.. **FLASHBACK** I sat on the swing while Ambrosia, Brandon and Jackson followed suit. "So how are you really feeling?" Ambrosia asked. I sat back against the swing and pulled my legs up. "Honestly, I have no idea. I thought maybe I would feel a little better being the one that decides what is going to happen but then I started thinking about how they are going to react, will they try to play on our tempers? Or would they accept it and not cause anymore problems." I replied, shrugging my shoulders. I was leaning more towards them playing on our tempers. "None of us know what is going to happen, I mean when we all grew up we didn't see this side of them." Jackson said and I nodded my head. The

Chapter: Chapter 56: Leia POV: Last night's events were probably the best we have had, we sat around the coffee table watching movies, playing a card game and having a few drinks. For once the stress of everything wasn't weighing on our shoulders. The bones had been sent to Collins territory for further examination but this morning they had called us over to Alley and Stephens to hear the result. "Are you ready?" Brandon asked, standing in the doorway. "Do you really think it's him?" I asked. "I don't know honestly, I think we will be disappointed either way this goes, you'll never have your justice or we found someone else and he is still on the loose." Brandon replied. Even if he did die somehow that is justice within itself and something I will just have to be okay with at some point. "As long as he is out of our lives and can't hurt anyone else then I can make peace with it you know." I said. "I know you will, I guess I just wanted you to have the justice that you deserved." Brandon replied. I cou

Chapter: Chapter 55: Brandon POV: I was beginning to get really frustrated. We had been out here for weeks looking for him and still haven't found anything of his at all. Alley has been popping in and out to bring us food and home to spend what time we can with our mates and for those that have children so no one feels like they have to miss out on anything. We were all growing more and more frustrated each day. One day the scent is hot the next day it's like it doesn't exist at all which sends us in different directions. "What are you thinking about over there?" Alex asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. "I didn't think this would take so damn long, why is his scent all over the place the way that it is, you know. It just doesn't make any sense." I replied, shaking my head. "Well, think about it, when we move around a lot our scent travels to different areas so maybe that is what he did to try to throw us off or something." Alex said and I shook my head. "No, there is something more to it that we are

Chapter: Chapter 54: Leia POV: When Brandon left the room Pythia came over to lay on the bed with me. "So tell me how you are really feeling." Pythia said, grabbing a piece of fruit. "I just feel tired and sore mainly." I replied, shrugging my shoulders. "I never really recovered from training with Ambrosia before the rest happened so I think it's really starting to weigh on me." I added and she smiled. "How is your training with her going? Does anyone else know about it?" Pythia asked. "It's been going good. She hasn't taken it easy on me at all, which I like, but I also taunt her when I feel like she is holding back and she scolds me when I am. She also likes to keep me on my toes, you know last time she left me a note." I laughed and I heard Pythia giggle. "She is always like that. She is one tough lady not many would dare to train with." Pythia replied. "I can see why, she is a little intense but in a good way. No one else knows though, I don't want anyone thinking I am getting some sort of specia

Chapter: Chapter 53: Brandon POV: I didn't know how long I had been asleep but when I opened my eyes Leia was still sleeping. I reached over and grabbed my phone off the night stand to see it hasn't even been an hour. I sighed and looked back down at her, I gently picked up her arms and un-did one of the bandages and noticed that it stopped bleeding and looked like it was starting to heal up slowly. I heard a knock on the door and looked up to see that Pythia had stuck her head through. "Is she still sleeping?" Pythia whispered and I nodded my head. She pushed the door open a little further and walked in with some snacks. "I didn't think you would want to leave her so I brought you some food and drinks." Pythia said with a smile. "Thank you, you didn't have to." I whispered. "Hush, you need to eat and I'm sure she will be waking soon and she will be hungry." Pythia said, giving me a stern look and I had to keep myself from laughing. I knew she wasn't one to tango with but there were different sides to
