Chapter 103
We emerged in Atlas's living room, barreling through the portal so fast that I nearly took out the lamp that sat on an oak end table.
Everything was shrouded in darkness. The billowing curtains were wrenched open, revealing the dimly lit street outside. It was late at night, but there was something almost somber looking about the neighborhood. There were no more toys littering the front yards, and some of the houses even had boards on the windows. It sent a sickening feeling into my stomach, one that Atlas picked up on immediately.
As I flicked on the lights, I couldn't help but look around. I had spent so little time here since actually returning home. The moment I came back, things were just set into motion. Even though we weren't safe here, I felt like I could breathe just a tad better.
"We're here--in the human realm." Alette murmured, her eyes blown wide with both wonder and horror. She glanced around the living room, which seemed a bit less extravagant tha

"So, how did you find out I became fae?" I asked Tyra, finding it more than odd that she hadn't seemed too surprised. Nicki walked back into the room with a blanket in hand, passing it over to me before she flopped down beside Tyra. I opened the blanket as best I could with Adelina sleeping on the couch beside me, and covered her with it. She made a few sounds here and there, but nothing that would indicate she was seeing future events. I turned back to Tyra as she continued speaking. "Your fae friend, Finn, got here two and a half months ago." She explained, taking a long drink of the coffee in her hands. I felt a bit guilty considering they all looked sleep deprived. "He gave Nicki and I the run-down, told us you probably were chased into the fae realm. He let us decide to tell the boys or not." "Which we clearly didn't." Nicki chimed in with a roll of her eyes, "Dustin obviously has a thing for you, considering he's been frantically searching for you for t

Any anger I had felt towards my mom had long passed. She had made the best decisions for me at the time, but always put my best interest before anything else. Even though the pain had changed me, I had AtlasAny anger I had felt towards my mom had long passed. She had made the best decisions for me at the time, but always put my best interest before anything else. Even though the pain had changed me, I had managed to come out the other side."It's alright. What's done is done." I nodded, agreeing with Finn.I could feel the searing spikes of guilt digging their way beneath Atlas's skin. Even though his face was skilled into cool neutrality, I could feel the pain that hid beneath. He couldn't hide it from me, no matter how much he wanted to at times.'You understand what this means, right? It's not your fault that you rejected me.' I told him softly, hoping he could understand how much I meant this. 'Even if our beginning was rough, this gives us a chance

"So, the Fae realm really is dying?" Nicki asked quietly. Surprisingly enough, her question was directed towards Adelina.She rubbed at her eyes and peered at the werewolves around her. I knew how she felt without asking, that uneasy sensation from being in an entirely different world. I could see the affect she had on everyone else, especially Michelle. Fae were inherently beautiful, but fae children resembled the greatest works from artists in both realms. They had the glowing skin, shimmering eyes, and pointed ears of the High Fae, but also the youthful innocence that allowed them to see the world differently."The source of our magic is deep within the earth. Lately, it's been growing weak. No matter how many pathways I see, I can't figure out how this all began; why it started fading in the first place." Adelina sighed, looking more exhausted than she had before she fell asleep."There's a connection between this realm and the fae realm. Some of the Fae wan

'How come you don't feel like you're going to throw up?' I muttered to Atlas, merging our thoughts together. His amusement trickled in first, followed by a hint of concern. Even in his head, his deep chuckle managed to raise goosebumps. I felt his touch along my arms, and felt his looming presence behind me. "I was born and bred to be an Alpha, kitten. Public speaking is part of the job." He smirked, tugging my wrist to turn me around. As the knot of nerves, I had currently settled in my stomach, I wished I could prolong this moment for just a while longer. It wasn't so much the public speaking I worried about, but the potential reaction our words could have. Unfortunately, we had mere seconds before Dustin came in the room, telling us it was now or never. This was the first stop of five. Five identical announcements that would spread throughout the pack and the world. The rogue attacks that plagued our lands were more than met the eye. Puppets being

As we all walked around the southern perimeter of the pack, warriors in their wolf forms stepped forwards. Fur coated heads and snoutsemergedfrom the brush, with intelligent eyes that noticed and tracked our differences. Many were bold, stepping forwards to greet their Alpha. Others sensed the change before they truly saw it, their ears twitching and turning.Surprise rippled across their faces, one by one as they realized what their Alpha and Luna had become. Even with the shock and dismay, the power here was clear. There was no mistaking the power that radiated from Atlas was not solely do to his fae heritage. The power and strength of an Alpha ran through his blood; fire and ice as they mixed and transformed into something new.

We couldn't stay there amongst the rubble and bones of the house, waiting for more Fae or rogues to seek us out. There wasn't a single part of the house that was salvageable. Every last bit, charred and broken beyond repair.I felt the weight of those bones, of the memories obliterated from the house just as I felt the severity of what I had done.The house had belonged to one of the pack members in town, but once this war was over, they no longer had a home to return to. This was also the fate I had placed on my friends; on Tyra, Liam and Dustin.Like a plague with the electricity of magic, I had completely changed them.Unchanged by the blast of spirit that demolished the house and altered my friends, Alpha Marcos and Luna Tessa were escorted back to their lands by Atlas's men. The rest of us had no other option but to leave, to fortify the borders around us and come up with a plan should they find another way in.Not only had the Fae come this t

There was no longer any time to wait. We had no clue whether or not our Fae attackers had come through a portal, or if they had been trapped here in this realm.With myself as the exception, portals were incredibly difficult to create and took large amounts of power depending on how many you had to transport, and how far you wished to go.It was obvious Tamara had come through a portal, but had she brought these Fae along with her? Even worse, had she somehow managed to bring an entire army?That same night; Atlas, Alette, Adelina, and Dustin went outside to train under the moon. Atlas was continuing his training, while Dustin would be starting from scratch.I was positive that for the entirety of my immortal life, I'd feel guilty for taking that choice from my friends, no matter if they seemed to be enjoying themselves or not."Do we have to wait until morning to begin my training?" Tyra asked just an hour after Atlas and the others had left. She

Nicki stood out front of Dean's family home, a goddess cloaked in flames and light as she carried her wounded mate on her shoulder. Strands of mahogany and maroon stood out in her chestnut hair, tucked behind human ears.There was something chillingly beautiful about it, seeing the eruption of flame from the house in the background as Nicki stood impassive and unreadable.For that brief time, whatever had triggered this power within her, she had become pure heat and flame.Slowly, the embers faded from her eyes. Coals of angry red simmered down to a pale orange, and then finally back to her usual cool tone. Her clothes were still singed, falling apart in some pieces, but the flames around her feet had finally sputtered out.All that was left was the fire that raged on in the background, crackling and snarling as it devoured all of the dry fabrics, woods, and furniture in the house.The fire wasn't spreading, that much was evident. Whether it was lu
