I am working towards something, I have everything planded out in my head for the next few weeks. I really hope you stick around, there will be some more action and adventure. plus some sad moments.
Axel’s pov Dinner had been great. Kenzo and Keva announced their pregnancy, Keva was expecting a girl. I was really happy for them, although it did remind me of my own desire to have more pups. But I didn’t walk to talk to Amber about it until Elias’ birthday. She already had so much going on and I knew she felt like she wasn’t giving Briana enough attention. No way would she say yes to trying for a third. Amber and I had headed to bed when I heard someone shouting from the hallway. "HELP! Please help! It’s Elias!" Amber and I ran as fast as we could to his room. When Amber saw Elias lifeless body on the bed she immediately shifted. I saw her pouring her light into Elias, just like twelve years ago. Jade was the one who had called us it seems, she was crying and hiding in a corner. I noticed a small piece of paper on the bed and two wine glasses. She had been in the room with Elias when something happened. Amber was too busy saving Elias and I knew I couldn’t help them. I was jus
Axel’s pov Amber and Elias were both on bed rest, sleeping most of the day. I felt totally helpless in this situation, I knew I just had to wait for them to get better. I spend my days focusing on pack security and finding out more about witches. My father had an extensive library, which actually belonged more to my mother in hind sight. But perhaps she had some books on witches as well. I needed to do something. Briana was in school most of the day, even though I told her she was more than welcome to stay home. I think she needed the distraction as much as I did. I walked to the library and saw some books that might be helpful. They discussed the difference between white and dark magic and how each type of magic changed someone. Performing dark magic required massive amounts of anger and evil, the more you performed dark magic the darker your soul became. Some spells even took some of your soul. I think that Jade’s spell was one of those, seeing as she said, "take my soul to bring
Amber’s pov Even though both Axel and I were pissed at Elias, we had a party tomorrow. We needed to make sure Jade was really gone and would not try anything before Elias’ birthday celebration. Axel had given the guards at the prison a long speech, they should have paid better attention. It was ridiculous how easy Elias had freed Jade or Finley, whatever her name was. I had focused all my attention on this party, trying not to freak out about losing my powers or the fact that Elias was still in danger. The sooner the party was over, the sooner the new phase in our life would begin. I shouldn't have hid myself in party plans. I might have noticed something was up with Elias. After Axel talked to Elias it was my turn. I knew Axel had been really angry, so I needed to stay calm if I wanted Elias to open up to me. "Elias, what happened? Why did you let Jade go?" Elias looked at me and took a deep breath, "honestly mama, I am so confused. I barely know her, but for a while I suspected s
Amber’s pov The party went great, everyone seemed to love it. All the guest were congratulating Elias and some looked at me with pity in their eyes. They knew my powers would come to an end tonight. Luckily Axel stayed close to me the whole evening, his hand on my lower back gentle stroking it. "Everything will be fine", he told me. I had chosen as many desserts as I could for the buffet, I loved desserts. But I didn’t have much of an appetite. Briana came by with a plate full deserts wrapped up. "This is for tomorrow mom, so you have something to eat when you’re hungry." Briana was so kind. The party seemed to go on forever, but finally people started to leave. Elias started to look very serious and asked if he could shift with me and his father in private. We both didn’t know what to expect, so I understood why he didn’t want any spectators. I knew the perfect spot for us to go. I told Axel to let everyone know we would meet hem later and to get us something to wear for after w
Axel’s pov I know it has been a crazy few weeks with Jade trying to kill Elias and then Elias freeing her. Not to mention Elias becoming King and Amber losing her power. There is so much to do. I know all this, but yet I'm not stressed out. For the first time in years I feel a sense of peace. Peace knowing that Elias doesn’t need our, or mainly Amber’s protection. Peace knowing that my beautiful mate doesn’t have her future written in stone anymore. She can choose her own destiny. It’s been hard for Elias getting to know his power. He decided to stick around until he is graduated, so he could practice his new powers. It’s been also hard for Amber adjusting to “normal” life, but I have loved having her around. And I’ve tried to show Amber in every way possible that she’s still special to me. We are starting to get used to the idea that we don’t have to worry about our kids being killed all the time. Now we can worry like normal parents. What Jade did to Elias brought back a lot of me
Amber’s povElias has started traveling the world, trying to see what every pack and Alpha needs. I am staying behind until I am needed. I have missed having my powers, but it’s nice to just be present amd be there for my pack. I have felt myself changing over the last few months, I am more patient. I am not walking on egg shells all the time, waiting for something to happen. I have actually planned a surprise for Axel that I would never have done before, I stopped taking the pill last month. He has been wanting another child for so long, but I could never see a world where I would have enough time or energy to have another baby in my life. But right now everything is so calm and perfect between Axel and I. Well, I wouldn’t call what we do in the bedroom calm. But everything outside of the bedroom has been so serene. I have been planning on telling Axel about wanting another pup for the last few night, I wanted to wait to tell him until I got my period back. But Axel beat me to the
Axel’s povI suddenly felt a strong feeling of fear through our bond. “Amber what happened?” I asked. “It’s bad Axel. It’s a massacre. There are so many people dead. Even kids. I have to find out what happened. I will contact you soon.” Amber said through the link. I got really nervous, what the hell happened there?! And were the people that did this still in the area? Would Amber be safe? I tried to distract myself, I had been tracking a coven of witches in our area for a while now. They didn’t seem like a threat, but I had thought the same thing about Jade. I honestly didn’t know what the right way to approach them was. Should I attack first or try to arrange a meeting between us. Usually I would ask Amber or Gamma Omar for advice, but they were both busy. Luckily my Beta Logan was around, but he had a strong opinion on witches. Which clouded his judgement a bit. “Kill them all,” Logan said. Yeah that wasn’t much help. If I killed a bunch of witches, I could start a war between
Amber’s pov I woke up in a dungeon, it was dark and it smelled like blood and herbs. My eyes were still heavy send and my head was throbbing. All I remember is finding Charlotte and taking Charlotte to her pack, when I felt something hit me in the back of the head. I could see two other figures in the cells next to me. This wasn’t like the cells at the Sage Mountain pack or like the ones at our prison. These were cells with iron bars, to make sure you couldn’t touch them. There was a stone bench and a hole in the ground, I guess that was supposed to be the toilet. I walked closer to the cell to my left and saw it was Charlotte. She still seemed in shock, sitting with her legs up and rocking back and forth. Softly whispering, “it’s my fault, it’s my fault." I tried to talk to her, I reached my arm through the bars and felt the iron burn my skin. But not even my touch made an impact. I walked to cell on my right and peaked through the bars. A small women with short hair was sleeping
Amber’s pov The End It’s has been five years now, since Axel was kidnapped by Beatrix. There have been some minor setbacks, but we’ve mostly been able to come to an agreement with the witches. Some of the witches of Willa’s coven have even helped us throughout the years, by protecting our borders and offering healing salve for our member’s who aren’t eighteen yet. I love how Axel has kept his principles through all this, even though he was met with so much resistance from the werewolves in the beginning. It’s hard changing people’s mind, when they are so used to their prejudices. But Axel had done it before, by changing his pack to be more inclusive. Hunter is almost six years now and he is such a fun kid. Very outgoing and loves to be outside. He loves to play with his sister and baby brother. Yeah, you can say Axel and I have been busy. Our four year old Charlotte is really smart and loves to chase her brother around the room. Our baby is just three months old now, we named him De
Axel’s pov I woke up and checked the time, crap the trial had already started! I must have been tired from being injured, plus this morning didn’t help. Although I wouldn’t take it back for the world. Being with Amber was always worth it. I quickly got dressed and brushed my teeth. Luckily the courthouse was next to the hotel we were staying at. I mindlinked Amber while I was getting ready, “did I miss everything?” She summarized the morning for me, “Alpha Ivar blamed Finley for everything, saying he was under her spell. People were gasping when they heard she was a witch. He even knew about her trying to kill Elias. Then I testified and told them everything that happened that day. And that I had forgiven Finley after she had saved yours and my live.” I interrupted,“you forgive her?” Amber laughed, “is that so hard to believe? I am not forgetting what happened, but I need to forgive her for Finley and Elias to be able to move forward. I want to be a part of their lives, if Finley
Amber’s pov We waited in Beatrix’s house, trusting Elias was doing his best to stop a fight from happening between us. Zoey and Matt were getting restless and Axel was getting his strength back and sitting up right. I felt guilty for assuming Finley was betraying me so easily. It didn’t take long for me to go back to mistrusting her, even after she had saved me from Alpha Ivar. It had been too hard for me to think about forgiving Finley for hurting Elias. “But hasn’t she done enough to prove she has changed? Finley saved you and now she saved Axel, without any regards for her own life. Do you really want to stand in the way of Elias being with his mate?” Ripley asked me. “You are thinking about Finley and Elias aren’t you?” Axel mindlinked me. “How could the Moon Goddess choose someone who had hurt him so deeply?” I replied. Axel told me what had happened in the house, how angry and hurt Finley was by her grandmother. “You don’t understand Amber, I don’t think she had much of a c
Axel’s pov I woke up tied up next to Omar in a small house. An older woman was standing in front of us. She wasn’t looking at us, but at someone else who had entered the house. I couldn’t turn my head enough to look at her, my whole body felt weak. But I recognized the voice from somewhere. “Jade you came back” the old lady said. “My name is Finley and I am not here for you grandma. I am here to get Alpha Axel and his gamma back.” That’s why I recognized the voice, it was Finley so that meant the old woman was Beatrix. I tried to talk, but my body was to weak. Beatrix walked to Omar and grabbed the iron chains around his arms. She pulled him by the chains to the middle of the room. She was strong for an old woman. I tried to turn my head again, this time slowly and I could see Beatrix and Finley standing over Omar. Finley wasn’t dressed and had probably just shifted back. “What are you doing Grandma? Just let them go, we can talk about this.” Beatrix started to laugh, “talk about
Amber’s pov I had just arrived at the location of the courthouse and was greeted by Elias, Zoey and Finley. Finley and Elias both looked tense and like they needed a good night’s sleep. Preferably not together, because I still didn’t fully trust Finley. Her hair had grown over the last few months and she had put on some weight, but her face still showed how much she had gone through. “Hi mama, are you ready for the trial?” Elias asked me as he gave me a hug. I had mindlinked Axel on the way over and he had told me about the fires, which still had me worried. “Actually I’ve been busy stressing over your father on the drive over. He’s taking too much on. There was a fire in the forest and now he is tracking the source in the woods with Omar. He has people who can handle that, but he always wants to be hands on” I told Elias. Elias laughed, “just like you mama. It’s not like you ever sat back and let other people handle anything.” I frowned and playfully hit Elias on the arm. He was
Axel’s pov’ Amber was right, we did need to prepare for the worst. So I contacted every ally and let them know to up their security. I told them there was a group of witches that had plans to potentially hurt werewolves, but that not all of the witches were bad. That last part was tough for most Alpha’s to except. Witches had always been our enemies and even when I explained about dark and white magic, they still didn’t trust any of them. “The only witch I trust is a dead witch,” was one Alpha’s remark. I understood where they were coming from. Our ancestors had fought against witches for years, but I truly believed you couldn’t just assume every witch was evil by default. There are bad witches, bad werewolves and bad humans. But that means there must also be good witches. I believed Willa when we talked and she had done nothing to help me. I would much rather have a friend than an enemy, but I was pretty mild tempered for an Alpha. I think that’s what Amber liked about me, but it
Amber’s pov I love having Hunter around, but every time I see that little face of his I am reminded of Charlotte and I wish I could have stopped Alpha Ivar. I have killed men for less, but I understand what Elias wants to do with his court system. It’s important for him to have people be accountable and that every werewolf can see that. Since I was in the dungeon with Alpha Ivar, I can’t help Elias in the trial like we planned, I can only testify. So now I am focused on raising Hunter and Briana and being the best Luna I can be. I go to training every evening so that can get Ridley some exercise and I can practice my fighting skills. I want to be able to defend myself against anything, even though Kenzo said I already am at the top of the class. Things with Axel have been good, but I can sense and see that he is stressed out about the whole witch thing. I think he tries to do it all himself, because he doesn’t want to bother me. But last night I finally got him to share what has been
Axel’s pov Luckily both Elias and Finley accepted my proposal, Elias took Finley with him on his travels after she had fully healed. Now that I learned more about Finley’s grandmother I really needed to find that prophecy somewhere. I was pretty sure it wouldn’t be in any of the books we had, but if I could find this Willa perhaps she could help me. I reached out to all my allies, letting them know if they could help me track her. I mentioned to them that she wasn’t to be harmed, they should only let Willa know if she could contact me as soon as possible. I then mindlinked Amber and asked her how Hunter was doing. He had been with us for a couple weeks now, but I couldn’t imagine life without him. What I could imagine is sleeping ten full hours with Amber by my side or even better feeling Amber on me. But sadly there was no chance of that right now, Hunter has been so clingy even at night. I think he might have gotten very little attention at the orphanage and was scared we wouldn’t
Axel’s pov I came looking for Amber and Charlotte and I ended up having a son. That’s not something you just get used to. But I think Amber and I both forgot how much work a baby is, so we barely had the time to adjust. Hunter seemed to favor me. Which was fine, but I still had my responsibilities as Alpha. Logan offered to step in for a while, but his son was the same age as Hunter. In the end we found a solution, baby-carrying seemed to work like a charm. Amber carried Hunter most of the day, while I took care of some work. I had another lead on the witches, the girl Jade, that Elias brought home, much to Amber’s dismay. Jade now wanted to be called Finley, her real name. I guess she wanted a fresh start and live truthfully, but neither Amber or I trusted her. But I needed Finley’s help, I knew nothing of witches. If she could provide me some insight, I could finally decide if the group that lived nearby was friend or foe. And once I was finished with my research, Finley could go o
