Gore sighed as he sat in his office, with one hand on his desk while the other was gripping the arm of his chair. His father, George, was lecturing him again about finding his mate or at least taking one of the single female in the pack and make her his. Gore closed his grey eyes for a brief second, only to hear his father banging his fist on the desk. He ran a hand through his brown hair then said, "I'm listening to you, father." In truth, he wasn't really listening. He knew what his father was going to say. They had the same conversation repeatedly on a daily basis. Most times, five times in a day, sometimes three. Gore always hated these conversations with his father. They only end in a growling match or something worst. George thought he knew best because he was the previous Alpha, claiming to regret handing down the power to his son. "When I was eighteen, I found my mate, your mother. I should have given the power to Annie. At least she is not mateless." George said. Gore
Gore held the baby in one hand as he tried to get some work done, but it wasn't a simple task. Because with too much movement, she would start fussing until he rocked her to get her to calm.From the first time he held the newborn, he could not put her down without her crying. She also refused to go to anyone else, so he had her the entire in his arms even when he was busy with his many tasks.It was hard for him to multi task too, but he was holding his own.The baby made a noise, then pouted in her sleep.Gore was too caught up on how cute the baby looked, that he didn't realize anyone had entered his office until a small voice said."I heard that you have a baby. Can I play with it?"Gore looked down at his niece. He didn't know how she got into his office because the door was locked. But she was there, reaching out to touch the baby."No Johan." He scolded.The little girl made a sound before making doe eyes at him. "Please?"Gore put a folder down before speaking to her again. "S
Harlow splashed in the soapy water as Gloria bathe her. She had been on baby duty for a week now, and felt drained because both Johan and the baby were more than a handful."Little Harlow." Gloria poured water on her head. The baby pouted, then start to cry when the water ran down her face."Oh, sweet girl, you didn't like that?" Gloria lifted her out of the water to dry her off."There, there, baby, everything is ok.""Grandma," Johan held up a storybook. She was already dressed and ready for bed."Just a minute Jo," Gloria said, trying to get Harlow in a onesie because she felt unusually cold."Come now Jo," Gloria said.Johan ran to her room ahead of her grandmother, jumping on her bed.Before Gloria was even halfway through the book, Johan took it from her, saying that she wanted to read it by herself now.Gloria pursed her naturally pouty red lips before handing the book over to her granddaughter. As soon as she did, Harlow start crying.Gloria sighed, ran a hand to her almost gr
Gore circled his opponent with a sneer showing off his teeth, he hadn't even bother shifting into his wolf because he wanted to show everyone just how strong he was and why the Fates choose him to be Alpha.He wanted to show them that he will always be the Alpha.The man in his wolf form charged at Gore. But the Alpha easily grabbed him by the throat, then punched him in the head.The black wolf fell limp to the ground moments after.Gore looked around to see if anyone else was foolish enough to step up against him again."I am the Alpha of this pack. The next person that dares to challenge me will not make it out alive. I won't hesitate to rip you apart!" Gore roared.Nobody met Gore's eyes. They held their heads low, avoiding his stormy gaze.Smoothing his hair back from his face, Gore held his head high, then strode off for his home."That was the third challenge this week," his father said, the second Gore entered the house.It was like George was waiting for him, just standing th
The day Harlow turned fully one, was the day she start saying her first word, which was no."No," Harlow said, walking away from Gore as he tried to put on her clothes."Come now, little one," he walked after her.She laughed, trying to walk faster, "no, no."He grabbed Harlow to lift her in the air.Gore span her around, "yes, yes" he told her, "you have to get dressed."As he said it, Harlow start peeing on him."See what I mean," Gore held her off his body."No."Gore had a hard time trying to put her shirt over her head, because she kept turning away."No," she said.Gore finally got her dressed, then brought her downstairs for breakfast."No, no, no." Harlow shook her head on the way there."Come on, Harlow," Gore said as he tried to feed her cereal."No," she said, but open her mouth anyway."Hey Har, can I get some?" Derek asked, already knowing that the only answer was no, but he couldn't resist."No," the baby said.She smiled at Derek, having only finally warmed up to him, b
"What is it?" Karina asked, as everyone was now in the office. Gore ran a hand through his hair, then looked down at Harlow."Harlow, can you please show them what you showed me?" He asked softly. The baby only stared at him with green eyes full of innocence. "Please?" He begged. Karina opened her mouth to say something, then gasped when a scene played out in her mind. Derek, who stood beside her, was frowning. (In their heads, it showed the pack house in flames. Then the evil vampire King's face coming to the forefront, and the witch beside him.) Puzzled, Derek gazed at Harlow, then Gore. "The Vampire wants the witch back, but why?" "How does Harlow even know that?" Karina asked. "Either way, we should be on the alert. She is my mate. I am not willing to lose her to that madman." Gore told them. "The witch is your mate?" Alexis spoke up. She had a strong hate for witches, because one killed their other brother a few years back. "You know that we can't question the fates,
Selina lay back on the bed with a smile. ‘This is easier than I thought.'She rolled over on the bed, only to see Harlow staring at her."Come here, you little cutie," she reached out for the baby."Rrraw," Harlow let out, then disappeared from the room."Brat." Selina said with a smile, before laying back down to stare up at the ceiling.'These wolves won't know what hit them until it's too late.'Not long after, Selina got up to go take a shower. While she was allowing the hot water to burn her skin, Gore entered and waited for her to get done.He didn't expect her to be naked and dripping wet, but that was how she stood before him with a smile.His jaw dropped as his eyes explored her perfect body."Like what you see?" Selina stuck her chest out.That action caused Gore to growl out, but his eyes were fixed on the rising and fall of her breasts.She winked at him before turning her back. The moment she did, Gore went up behind her.At first, Selina shuddered and was about to pull a
Selina looked up with a smile, "just reading her a little bedtime story."Alexis frowned at the witch, "why are you reading a book like that to her, telling her that wolves are bad, and that vampires are good?"Selina just smiled on as she placed Harlow on the ground.“Wolves aren’t bad Harlow. Come, let me get you to bed.’’ Alexis picked the baby up, then looked her over for any injuries."It is the truth, young wolf. You worthless flea bags won't walk this earth or its dimensions much longer. Once we have this child, that's it for you, rabid creatures." Selena told her.“We? Who are you working with and why are you here?’’"Bat wot," Harlow said.“Sorry, did I say too much? Maybe I channelled someone else. It happens from time to time.’’ "I don't know what you are up to, but just know that I will rip your throat out." Alexis threatened.Selina walked over to Alexis with a smirk. "Do you think Gore will like the way you are talking to his mate?"Alexis growled at her before grabbing
"Be nice to your sister," Horatio scolded their son Shawn, who pushed Hazel down, but picked her up and brushed off her jeans after getting into trouble.Leo snuck up behind them, jumping on Shawn's back."Hey," Shawn cried out, falling to the ground.Hazel laughed, jumping on him as well.Out of nowhere, Skylar joined the pile."Leave them, they are just playing." Scarlet stopped Horatio when he tried to get up.Their children were six years old now but acted much older."Leo reminds me of you." Horatio kissed Scarlet softly on her lips."Eww!" the quadruplets said together.Looking away from their parents, Shawn covered his eyes, while his siblings giggled.Scarlet smiled at them. "May said that Hazel looks just like my mom. And I think Leo looks like you. The only thing is, he has red hair.""Umm," was Horatio's only reply."Shawn looks like me as well, but with a little mix of your features," he said, kissing the top of her head."We sure make lovely children." Horatio kissed Scar
"Kera, are you ok?" Scarlet touched her shoulder to feel it shaking."No, my father killed my mother. He then lied that Horatio was the one who had done it. Why would he do that?" Kera cried.Horatio leaned his head to the side. "Matthew killed Catherine? I thought-" he paused to think about it."He told me she went out to seek some information. When your mother didn't return, he went to look for her, then later came back saying she was dead." Horatio placed a hand on her shoulder."I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I never had a hand in the death of your mother."Kera wiped at her nose. "I know you don't. I saw when he did it in their room. He said he saw you leaving the room and that I mustn't trust you, but he didn't know I saw the entire thing, he must have read my mind and that's why he took me to Magnus, but why did he kill mom?" Kera sobbed. "He never taught me anything. Mom was the one to always tell things and show me how to use my powers, so why did he kill her?""This
Scarlet made her way to the crystal cave, to put the red crystal back in its place and cast a spell so that no one can ever reach it again.She also hoped that it would restore the village to what it once was when it was back in its place.Scarlet, Kera, Elijah, and May had gone ahead of the others after the cave refused their entrance. "Hey, May. Remember, you said an ancestor of mine might be from this clan? Is that why the cave allowed me to enter with you?" Kera asked. Elijah glanced at her, noticing that after the war three days ago, and all the training with Scarlet, she was much braver and more confident now. Scarlet asked the river nymphs for entrance, but they start playing around, splashing her with water. "You little." Scarlet cast a spell, making a gigantic wave that washed the nymphs ashore."Scarlet!" May scolded her.Scarlet stopped laughing and helped them back into the water. "Scarlet that was so totally not nice, not cool at all." A nymph told her. Then the stai
April placed a hand over her mouth as she dodged a warlock's fist, then vaporized. Scarlet stood up suddenly. "This all ends now." She began to draw energy from the earth, then let it out. Everyone was thrown off their feet, while it dissolved most of the enemies into nothing. Those who were still stupid enough to run at her got blasted while her dragons had also changed into beings more malevolent, letting out purple and black fire, burning everything. April traced over to Elijah. "We have to stop her before she kills everyone." Elijah gulped. "But she seems demonic."April pinned him with a look. "You're just as strong. Come on." She dragged him off to where Scarlet was. April told him what to do.Elijah grabbed a hold of Scarlet's hand and start chanting some words, feeling the energy rolling from her to him. He directed it to the sky, blocking out the moon.Scarlet fell to the ground, then got up quickly, snarling at April and Elijah. She groaned, holding her head, looking
Nikki let out a cry, her sword sliced right through Matthew as if he was made of butter. His body fell to the ground in two halves, and his face now had a peaceful smile as if that was what he wanted all along.Nikki let out another cry.She walked over to where Kera lay and noticed that the hole in her body was getting smaller and smaller.Kera groaned before sitting up. Nikki gasped. "Kera, you're alive, how is that possible?" Kera looked down at her body in shock. "Did Scarlet teach you how to do that?'' Nikki laughed. Kera shook her head still looking at her body. "No, but the crystals she had us plant yesterday worked, so none of us will die." "But what about those who come to fight us?" Nikki asked, helping Kera to her feet."Scarlet only cares about us, not them, and now is not the time for chit-chat. We are in the middle of a war." "Right," Nikki nodded. "Let's go," Kera smiled, and together they ran after some elves, who ran away screaming. ****Elijah was holding his
When they got to the top of the hill, Kera gulped from beside Elijah, who was too engrossed by the strange glow the red moon cast down on them. The place seemed even more sinister than on any other night. The place was also silent and all he could do was wait until the enemies break the line."Do you think Murmalaid would have helped us out in this situation?" Kera asked.Elijah glanced down at her. "No, because things have changed, but even then, I doubt the fates or gods would have let her interfere. There are no more humans to worry about."Kera nodded. "I guess you are right."Scarlet looked over at her brother, giving him a smile because of how brave he was. When she looked back out, she could see the flames that had engulfed parts of the village."It's a good thing we thought of evacuating the village and an even better idea to have our people set up out there."Horatio held her hand."It is a good thing Miley isn't here to see all this. She would be crying by now." Nikki joked,
I sat on the window seat looking outside; I remembered the rain falling hard that day and with it came this horrible feeling I have been feeling for to month now. Selina thought that we should go to the beach. It was her way of trying to cheer me up, but for whatever reason, I didn't want to leave the house, because my mind was telling me that something bad will happen. Selina left me alone after seeing that there was nothing she could do to cheer me up and I went to lie on my bed, thinking that sleep would help. But suddenly there came crashes and screams from downstairs, which I paid no attention to, thinking that it was just someone doing a spell because it was always like that there. We were crazy and always did experiments, so I lay there until a young witch by the name of Cari burst into the room. She was bloody and crying. I looked at her with wide eyes, but before I could go to her, a tall shadow appear in the doorway. The vampire grabbed her by the shoulder, then he bit
Scarlet blinked a few times, only to see that Miley was waving a hand in front of her face. "Are you alright?" Horatio cupped her face in his hands. "Yes, just a memory that had me lost in time." Horatio kissed her and leaned his forehead on hers. Miley came up the hill after. She waited until Horatio moved away before she spoke. "Scarlet, are we still going to have training with you?" Miley asked. Scarlet had a distant look on her face, but she quickly shook it off. "Shouldn't we be training with them, too?" She heard October asking Alistair. "We don't need it," he replied. "Cocky, I like your confidence, vampire, or is it cowardice?" Horatio asked. Gore chuckled. "I can take both of you with my hands behind my back," Alistair told them, then removed his helmet. "Oh there pretty boy, don't want to mess up your hair or get a bruise on your face now, do we?" Horatio mocked. Scarlet glanced at her mate, wondering why he insisted on picking a fight with her vampire. She the
"I don't think this will end well. Some of these guys seem as if they will go at it any moment now," Kate said. And she was right. The tension in the manor was thick, and it wasn't from the pending war. But just from lores being around other lores, they didn't trust. A few more Lores, mostly witches, warlocks, and vampires, had arrived during the time Scarlet was setting up the crystals, which set the wolves on edge and even had a few questioning things. "Are we sure this isn't a setup?" Carmela asked when a warlock who was covered from head to toe in tattoos and piercings walked by her. Kate stared at the man, interested in the iron bars that ran through the bone in his nose, the rings in his brows, and the finger bone that was dangling from his ear. "Yeah, and I don't think I have enough arrow if shit should go sideways. "Don't worry, I don't attack those that are weaker than me." The warlock stopped to say. "Yeah, besides, we are only here because we are excited about the wa
