The moon cast its silvery glow over the tranquil landscape as I stood before Shirer, her eyes piercing through the darkness. "Are you truly prepared to take this risk?" she asked, her voice low and mysterious, echoing through the stillness.I had burst into her house, the wooden door creaking shut behind me, and Shirer hadn't flinched. Instead, she listened intently, her expression unreadable, as I paced back and forth, my footsteps echoing off the stone walls. The air was thick with tension, and Shirer's question hung in the balance, waiting to be answered.Was I willing to risk everything by revealing the truth to Derek? The weight of my decision settled heavy on my shoulders. That's what I had been ranting about – how Nimue's mistakes had put everyone in danger, leaving a trail of secrets and lies in their wake. The trees outside seemed to lean in, their branches tangling together like skeletal fingers, as if listening to my inner turmoil.Derek's words echoed in my mind, his voice

DEREK As I gazed into Shira's eyes, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Her lips, though soft and inviting, didn't stir the same passion as Ava's. The hands on my shoulders, though gentle, didn't hold the same warmth as Ava's touch. I was about to pull away, to put an end to this charade, when it hit me like a ton of bricks. I had no qualms about jumping into the deadly pool, but the thought of continuing this farce with Shira made my skin crawl.But I knew I had to see this through. I had to trust the pool's magic, even if it meant enduring this uncomfortable encounter. As Shira's lips moved against mine, I felt a sudden surge of visions and images, like a movie playing out in my mind. I saw Ava, her eyes sparkling with determination, her spirit unbroken. I saw the events of the day unfolding, like puzzle pieces clicking into place.When the visions finally subsided, I ripped my lips away from Shira's, gasping for air. I stared into the pool's crystal clear wate

AVA As the boat carrying Joshua, Andrea and Celeste pulled back onto the shore, my stomach was in my throat. Celeste's presence was especially unnerving, given her history with our group. She had obviously gone to do the same to them as they had to us. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I sensed a mixture of curiosity and calculation behind her gaze.Derek's voice whispered in my ear, "Why are you nervous?" I turned to face him, my eyes meeting his concerned expression. Blake was standing at my side, his eyes fixed on Celeste's retreating form.I took a deep breath, trying to process the turmoil brewing inside me. "He's been back home while the fallout of me coming out to everyone was going down. We came here when we had made it, so we didn't see it. The last thing I saw when we left there was my dad apologizing for my mother, but where was she? I have a feeling he's here for a reason. Why would he just want to get up and come here? I guess I am just looking at it that maybe he's here to

DEREK I trailed behind Seth, my mind reeling with the news Joshua had just shared. I needed to speak with my dad, to ensure everything was okay back home. As we walked, the sound of seagulls filled the air, and the salty scent of the ocean wafted through the village.Seth led me to his house, a cozy little cottage with a thatched roof and a garden full of vibrant flowers. He pushed open the door, revealing a warm and inviting interior. "Your dad found this old-fashioned way of communicating amusing," Seth explained, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "But it's effective. He's on frequency 45."He gestured to an ancient-looking machine in the corner of the room. I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What the hell is that?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me.Seth chuckled. "A radio transceiver. We use it to keep in touch with the council and the boat. Usually, we rely on magical messages, but since your pack doesn't have a witch, this is our backup plan."I nodded, taking in th

AVA Seth had proposed that we unleash our wolves for a run. To be honest, I wasn't enthusiastic about the idea. I feared that Nimue and Seth's wolf would get overly excited and we'd end up mating. However, Nimue was on her best behavior around him, exhibiting only playful nips and cuddling when they rested.As I observed their connection, I sensed an unusual bond between them. It was peculiar. I felt the same intense emotions I experienced when I was around Derek, but without the fierce passion.I really needed to discuss this with Seth and gain a deeper understanding. However, communicating with him in my wolf form was challenging."Nimue," I called out to her."Yes?" she responded."Why doesn't your mating bond with Seth feel the same as my bond with Derek?" I asked."This is how I've always known our mating to be - comfortable, calm, and dependable," she explained.That didn't sound like any mating bond I'd ever heard of. But then again, maybe we all couldn't be the same. Their bo

DEREK Ava had been missing all day and night, and I was getting anxious. But I had promised to trust her, so I kept searching for our bond, checking in constantly. Every time I did, she seemed okay, sometimes a little sad, but not scared or in danger.I met up with Shirer and asked her to check in on Ava. The image she conjured up showed wolves sleeping in the sun and moonlight. But even that peaceful scene sparked jealousy in me.I decided to give Ava some space and went back to studying the ancient mythology books I'd taken from Seth's house. I found them fascinating, and they helped from being jealous. But as I delved deeper into the books, I started to feel uneasy. Our bond was faltering, and I sensed Ava was scared. I called out to her, and when she responded, I knew she was in danger.I quickly gathered the others – Adrian, Vee, Shirer, and Blake. We needed to find Ava, and fast. Thanks to Shirer's location spell, we were able to track Ava down, but it took some time. When we

AVA Derek's fingers on my chin sent shivers down my spine, his eyes burning with an intensity that felt like it was scorching my very soul. He looked like a man who had been denied for a very long time, his wicked smirk promising me that this was not going to be a slow, easy ride. I didn't want it to be.If we were right – and Nimue believed we were – Seth wasn't our fated mate, neither of ours. Was Derek actually Nimue . Maybe he was, and this spell was just holding her back from feeling it like I did. Hopefully, I wanted her to feel this for herself, not just through me. Because it was a rush, a complete and utter cycle of hormones, nerves, and love.We had both chosen him. That had to mean something to her, right? The fact she was mated, but still chose another. Her reasoning was unselfish; she wanted me to have my shot at happiness. But maybe, somewhere deep down, she knew this was it – he was ours, and that's what made this decision easy for her.Who knows? All I could think abo

AVAWe stood in the bright sunlight, the sound of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the gentle breeze filling the air. The communal area was bustling with people, the smell of freshly cooked food wafting from the kitchen. "It's gone," I said, looking down at my hand where Seth had grasped mine just moments before. But now, I feel nothing. Looking up at Derek, I felt confused. "What do you mean, what's gone?" Derek asked through our link, his eyes narrowing slightly."The connection, I don't feel anything. No buzz, no nothing," I replied, shaking my head. Derek looked at Seth, who was standing off to the side, his expression strange. The Seth I had left just days before was a devastating mess, but today he almost looked robotic."How can it just go?" Derek asked, his voice low and serious, as Vee chattered on in the background. "I don't know," I said, feeling confused. I had to admit, it was a relief that the connection was gone, but still, it was a bit weird.Just then, Adrian bur

Of course, that had crossed my mind , but Seth would understand. He knew our parents. He knew the poison they spread wherever they went. " They will hate me for bringing this here " I told him, looking down. " They already know , Ava and Derek. While you were pretending to sleep, I was mind linking to Derek. He says we will gather to discuss how to end them after the funerals. Ava is also pissed at you. She told you we would help , you used your magic for us. We will not abandon you now. Derek had to stop her coming out here to tell you off ". I looked up at him and some of his anger had lessened , but not all of it.He stepped back and let me go. " So , choose Vee. Go without rejecting me. I will follow, we all will . Or reject me and go. The last choice is you stay here and we will do this together with our family. " My breath hitched at the hurt that crossed his face. One of those options I would never do, the other one they would come regardless. So , my only option was to stay. I

VEEAdrian took me back to his home after Riala actually flew her mate off into the distance. I found it fun to watch. It took my mind away for a little bit. Seeing Rhiala carry her away , I had wished Adrian had been a dragon and he could just carry me away too. Weird how I had never actually seen Adrian's home. I had always just assumed he lived in the pack house and then he was staying at the former alpha and Luna's retirement home on the edge of the pack. I was surprised at how modest it was. He lived in one of the smaller log cabins. When we arrived, he had looked at it and shrugged " They offered me a bigger place , but there was only me so I saw no reason", he had explained." It's nice, " I told him. He grabbed my hand and walked us inside. It was cozy , all though very minimalist , it had a lot of Adrian's personality in it. It actually made me laugh , there was some art on the walls and there were paintings of naked bodies in sexual positions. No faces, just the bodies of pe

" She looked at me dead in the eyes , and I knew she was right. But the thought of ever coming face to face with them again terrified me. " Go find your mate " she smiled , before she turned back on herself and headed back.I walked aimlessly for a while. Thinking , my mind runs like crazy. Mum has most likely already seen me here , now that Sabrina wasn't in my body anymore. Mum seeing the future was not always correct. Choices change and she only sees hints of the future, small little snippets. Mum and dad met out of sheer evilness. Not love or fated mates. And that was one of the things they wanted to stop, that they were completely against. Fated mates , they saw it as having too much power. The whole concept of mates. They wanted to eradicate it. They also believed that good witches were a hindrance , wolves were mutants , along with other animal shifters. My mother and father wanted to eradicate half of the paranormal species. It was funny. The only ones that made their list t

They were appalled by what they learned we had been through. And again apologized for their part , but they were not at fault." So you have no home for us to send your pride and your deceased home to ? "I asked them and they both shook their heads. " No, we have a camp set up. Where all of the possessions we brought with us are. But no actual home to go to ", Usif confirmed. Shit , I looked at Derek and he had sat back , his fingers rubbing his chin which said he was in deep thought. He jumped up and excused himself for a moment and came back with a big map of our land and the surroundings. " Where did she have you waiting , and where is your camp ? "he asked Usif, who looked confused about why he was asking. But I knew him , I knew where his mind was at now. And I sat back and smiled at my dear friend and actually behind that rough exterior was a damn good man.VEE" How are they doing ? " I asked as I entered the room the female warlocks had been in. Now there was the former alpha

Until he grabbed my thigh and hunched my leg up so he could press deeper into me." Damn" he said, pulling back . He smiled and looked down at my body. " Too many clothes ", he laughed. "Well, take them off, " I whispered . " Can't you just do your magic or something ? " he groaned so impatiently. " I could , but where is the fun in that? " I smiled, tormenting him. He leant forward and nipped at my lips with his teeth , before he sat up on his knees. He pulled his top over his head and I pretty much drooled at his torso. He jumped back off of the bed with no effort , landing off of his feet so he could unzip and pull down his trousers. His boxers went with them revealing him in all of his naked glory. And he was definitely blessed. I squeezed my legs tight , as a throb started between my thighs. " I scent you baby "he said in a

I was snapped out of my daydream by loud sounds of fighting. The fight from the opening had somehow made its way down here. Wolves and panthers ran everywhere between the houses. " What are they doing down here ? " I snapped at no one in particular. I watched in horror and absolute misery as some of my men , my brothers who I had trained with my whole life, fell. And I was hopeless. " Something must have happened. Derek wouldn't have let them down here ", the former Luna said behind me. I caught sight of a wolf I knew well. " Damian," I shouted. The wolf had just put down a panther. He looked my way and I motioned him to me. He shifted as he got to the border of the protection spell. " Adrian, what are you doing in there ? "he asked , out of breath.I shook my head. "Don't ask , I am not pleased by it. What has happened? Why are you all down here ? " he looked back up towards the opening. " The dragons took their fight to the floor , and that bitch got hold of the luna. The alpha orde

ADRIAN'S POV " Adrian, she will have had her reasons. " The former Luna said. I was fuming , marching up and down on the edge of the boundary. " She shouldn't have done that , anything could be happening now. All the people we love could be dead or dying and we are stuck here , helpless" I snapped, looking out at the path up to the battle. I heard someone gasp behind me. I turned to look and saw Kara standing there with tears in her eyes and her hand on her mouth. Shit , " Kara , I'm sorry " I said ." Go inside kay" her mum said. She wiped her eyes and walked off back inside. Meanwhile, the former Luna was giving me the stink eye. " Calm down Adrian , before I smack you up the side of the head. The truth of the matter is , you were a liability up there. She got in your head and she threatened to kill you. Your mate did what was right and still went back to help protect your family. Vee is new here , she could have left them to it and hid out here with you. But she didn't. I don't kn

One by one, all of the girls nodded to me and said it was done. "Let's do this ", I said nervously.I said the spell out loud and the girls copied it. This could all go wrong , but we had to believe that it would work. Bit by bit, I felt the thing inside of me that had become a comfort blanket , that had become a part of me. Even when the moon goddess had taken most of it , I still had some of it. A more comfortable amount if I was honest with myself. The more we gave her, the more she started to move. My magic was waning so I couldn't keep her still.She started to stand , a smug look on her face , she held her hands out by her sides and tilted her head back. Nothing was happening besides her looking more and more fucking gleeful. Celeste dropped to her knees at first looking weak and panting. She looked up looking worried and scared. She must have tapped out and given her everything. She glanced at me and I knew what she was thinking , it made my own nerves set in. Especially when Ve

AVAI felt her fighting against us. She was trying her hardest to not be brought here. Closing my eyes , I asked my babies for their help. I felt a little daft doing it , but when I did, that feeling washed over me again. " She's coming ", I shouted out loud, opening my eyes. Before us appeared a very pissed-off looking Sabrina. I didn't waste time , I moved what I was doing to immobilizing her. But she looked unfazed , she looked around the crowd with mirth. " You think I didn't think of this ? That you would assemble your army of mutts against me. What else do you think I went to the council for ", she looked up as the sound of the dragons roared above us ." They don't belong to us, " Vance shouted as three dragons swooped above us. " What ? " Derek shouted and Vance pointed up. " They are not us " he said, and a massive screech sounded in the air as one of the dragons opened its mouth. " Take cover " Rhiala shouted. Wolves started to shift , as a massive flame came out of the drag
