Hopefully, Marcus will smack some sense into Kellen and he calm his butt down lol Time to prepare for the journey to Asiarian. Leave me a comment and a gem if you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you all so much for reading xx
MATHIASI put in a call to Marcus. Not just for Lamia’s sake but also for Kellen’s. I actually called Vivian to begin with as it perplexed me that Lamia didn’t want to see the triplets or go back to Riocht before we traveled to Asiarian.Little did I know Hunji had also spoken to Marcus and voiced his concerns too.My mate's mother settled my mind but divulged her own concerns at the same time. She knew her daughter best and as much as she wanted her daughter home and to meet her new grandchildren, she recalled how much Lamia was like her father.This is why Marcus came. He was her voice of reason.Lamia loved her mother, but she looked up to Marcus, and in return, Marcus doted on her, he also recognized her strengths and weaknesses and reminded her of who she truly was when she lost sight of direction. If she and Kellen were going to listen to anyone it would be her parents, mostly her father or Mike's parents.Marcus walks Lamia and Kellen out of the training ring, my mate hanging on
LAMIASeeing my father was bittersweet. He brought pictures of the triplets which had tears brimming in my eyes. Zachary and Maximus were so big already and Amali was the spitting image of me.Oh, how I missed them so much.Seeing the images of my pups almost broke me and had me wanting to pack and go back to Riocht immediately but I couldn’t. It wouldn’t be fair, and I wouldn’t want to leave them again. No, it was better this way.My father doted on Seneca and Connor and even showed Seneca pictures of her older brothers and sister who was eager to meet them. Even Zane came to greet my father, hanging on to his every word and Angelica wouldn’t leave him alone for a moment, she called him grandad too, climbing in his lap alongside Seneca.Kellen and I spent as much time as we could with him. It was good for both of us, especially Kellen as he dove into our time in the other realm and we told him everything, giving him the highlights and explaining our transition while we had been in the
LAMIATime is measured by a watch, the sun, and the moon. The cycle of the realm turning. Time is honored by nature, which flourishes and grows under its revolving sky and elements.A life is reliant on time. Some have more than others and some die sooner than expected. We are all born with an expiration date, that expiration date just isn't filled out.Then you have these things called walkers. Neither human nor monster where time stood still for them. Their hearts do not beat, their minds do not think, their bodies move but for what I do not know. They simply exist with no purpose, no means, no thought, no goal.Guilt riddled me for what I was about to do, making me wonder where this guilt was when I wanted to massacre the Changelings.When I initially was prepared to slaughter the Changelings it festered from raw hate and retaliation of who they previously served. With these walkers, I felt sorry for them. They did not come to be like this of their own free will. They were people, m
LAMIAKellen sat holding Seneca, cradling her against his chest. I thought there might be some jealousy from Mathias: Another Alpha holding his daughter like she was his.To my surprise, relief, and joy there wasn’t a hint of jealousy between the two Alpha’s. However, I could see Mathias was itching to have his daughter back in his arms.Letting go of Mathias’s hand I stand, walk around the table, and reach for Seneca. Kellen pulls her back frowning as he does. “Just a little longer.” He says with a pleading voice. His ocean-blue eyes gave me a puppy dog look.“You’ll see her again.” Tala laughs and balances Connor on her lap and plucks Seni from her mate's arms much to his dismay, his scowl becoming deeper. Making the scare down his face look more menacing.“I haven't been away from her in three thousand years,” Kellen grumbles feeling the loss as Tala hands me my child.Before I can even hand Seneca to Mathias, Zane holds out his arms as I round the table again. “Can I hold her pleas
LAMIAKellen, Mike, Tala, Lyric, and the pups left at sunrise, heading back to New Moon. Where more weapons would be manufactured and shipped with Kellen and Mike when they left from the New Moon coast to Asiarian, Tyron, the royal delta, and Mike's father would be in charge of New Moon warriors.Finn left to go back to the Kodiak Kingdom, hoping to tie up some stuff and aid Alpha Xander before he too traveled to the second content with a team of warriors. Leaving the Kodiak kingdom in Alpha Xanders's capable hands and Abner Brooks as backup.Rhett and Leneve would follow us to the Werecat Kingdom a few days later, after securing MacTire and leaving Josiah and Oliver with instructions. A handful of changelings would stay behind due to the threat of Aodh’s army reaching our shores. Petra had been sent on a mission to scout the shores to see if the rumors were true that a fraction of the dark army would land on our borders any day.Hunji and Morgan decided to head back to Riocht for thre
TOBIASThe days were hot, but the nights weren’t much better. I had sworn I would never return to the desert on the second continent again, but here I am knee knee-deep in war, leading shifters from all backgrounds.I walk across the rocky terrain heading for my tent. We had set up makeshift tents on the border of Asiarian and moved citizens from Bhakhil further into the country and closer to the capital.Each day shifters and humans from surrounding small countries were coming to the border. Only a few Andorian’s had managed to escape the chaos and destruction Aodh’s army had brought and made their way here.Those who could fight stayed at the border with us, preparing for the dark army to reach our position. We had suffered great losses on all fronts. Bhakhil was lucky the city had managed to evacuate before they were taken over.Sources tell us the dark army lingers on the outskirts of Bhakhil and will reach the Asiarian border within two weeks. Just thinking about it makes my heart
KELLENMy days back at New Moon had been filled with meetings, organizing, paperwork, and lots of reading. In between that, addressing the kingdom and coordinating with the new council that included Mike’s father had taken up the majority of my time.I was unsettled on the inside, hiding my emotions once more as I navigated being so far from Seneca. I loved my son with all my heart and held him at every opportunity. I made time to tuck him, to tell him things a father should, but still, there was a longing in my heart for Seneca.I felt as if I had neglected her; neglected my promise to protect her. I constantly worried about her well-being even though she was with Lamia and Mathias who were not just her parents but more than capable of keeping her safe. Still, it didn’t give me any comfort to know she was without me. Our car pulled up to the docks, the trucks had already arrived, and I could see the crates of weapons being loaded onto the cargo ship.I climb out of the vehicle, exte
MORGANThe city of Cambiador came into view. The pristine white of the buildings stood out against the heavy green foliage that surrounded the werecat capital.It was a beautiful city, a magnificent kingdom. I had been here several times with Hunji in the past few years and every time I was amazed by the enchanting scenery.I turn to look at my wolfman, his serious and concentrated face focused on the road ahead. He had withdrawn into himself even more since Lamia and Kellen had returned. Though, I had an inclining that his quietness had more to do with the vision I had been having lately than the upcoming battle we faced.Ascena had told me once that my visions were a possibility, the most likely outcome, and were never set in stone. She was right, I had learned that over the years and had come to understand my premonitions more and more.Having the gift of sight wasn’t always a great gift, and it was one you couldn’t trust. It was possibly my least favorite gift that had been bestowe
