BACK AT THE DAMN…“Wow, despite last night’s storm the day is turning out to be a lot better than it started.” Felan said. “Now let’s see how we can help the triplets.” Nezerra said. “Which one of you is Pauly?” Nezerra asked, looking at the triplets waiting. “I am,” Pauly said stepping away from her siblings. “This is my sister Raylean and my brother Tank.” She answered as they nodded to Nezerra.“Thank you all, for keeping Felan and Keyne safe.” He said, returning a nod of his own. “We would have done it for any child honestly.” Raylean said. “We figured after everything you all have been through, that you just wouldn’t up and help us.” Tank answered. Nezerra started to answer, but Aaliyah spoke first. “Given who you are and your association with Josiah, I understand why you would think that.”“We never had anything to do with what Josiah put you through, except what he forced us to do.” Tank said to her. “I know, I was told by a rogue that overheard the day you told Josiah to shove
GOING HOME…The feast was great. A much needed and welcomed break for everyone from the past few month’s chaos. Everybody got to participate as they all took turns rotating shifts for patrol and guard duty. Aaliyah stood silently in the shadows watching the wolves enjoy themselves. It had been a really long time since she heard much laughter.She felt a little peaceful, but knew it wouldn’t last. As long as Josiah and Shaba were still alive neither Felan nor Keyne would be safe. Shaba threatened their lives and Josiah wanted to exploit their powers for his own personal gain. Sure they could keep the 2 of them chained up for the rest of their lives, but eventually at least 1 would escape. That is when they would find themselves chasing and hunting them down again.The thought made Aaliyah shiver. That is when she decided that she would kill Josiah. She would let Felan see him 1 last time. Felan needed a chance to say whatever she needed to say, even if it was just goodbye. The feast en
THE GODDESS…She watched as the were-wolves worked together. She had really felt that she had finally found her replacements. She was confident in her choice. She needed to talk to Keyne before moving forward and she would soon pull him to her realm. She waited until they had turned back toward the hotel and gently pulled him and his wolf to the field.The goddess liked the field, it was away from the pond, and the field is where she usually came to think. Keyne wasn’t sure of where he was, 1 minute he was riding in the bed of a truck and the next minute he was in an open field surrounded by forest and beautiful flowers. He turned slowly in a circle looking for the road, when he noticed a glow.He was memorized by the glow and the more he stared at it, the bigger the glow became. Keyne had no clue his wolf was coming at him until, Havoc ran up and jumped up, putting his paws on Keyne’s shoulders. Havoc almost knocked Keyne on his ass. Keyne gave Havoc a big hug and started to rub his
SHABA…She had tried mind-linking, but couldn’t reach out. “He must have used the runes.” She said out loud as she surveyed her surroundings. Suddenly, she was no longer inside the cage, but an open meadow. “How did I get here? Why do I feel so different?” She asked as she took a deep breath. “Strangely, the air smells cleaner than I remember.” She quickly became aware of her surroundings as realization set in. “Hello, Goddess.” She said, turning in a circle. “I will not change my mind, we have had this discussion before.” Shaba tells her. “I did not bring you here for that.” Rhiannon said. “Then why?” She asked her. “Your wolf has been silently pleading with me.” Rhiannon. “My wolf?” “Yes, your wolf.” Rhiannon replied.“Pleading for what?” Shaba asked, confused. “Her life.” “My wolf is as healthy as I am.” “I am afraid she is not. Shaba, your wolf, is dying.” “She can’t be dying.” Shaba said, starting to worry a little. “Her spirit is broken from the rage you feel. A wolf is meant t
A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE…Shaba was suddenly in a field surrounded by wolves fighting. Mangled bodies filled the ground and she suddenly saw herself standing face to face with a she-wolf. She watched as the she-wolf attacked and was knocked to the side, just before a glowing silver wolf appeared and lunged at her. Shaba watched as she raised a bow and arrow that had been dipped in silver and something else and shot it at the wolf. The wolf hit the ground and shifted back to its human self.Shaba saw Felan’s lifeless body lay on the ground and her own image started to rejoice. She turned her back, just as Felan was getting up. The 2 women lunged for each other. Shaba swung a sword taking Felan’s head off, but not before Felan punched through Shaba’s chest and grabbed heart. Felan’s body solely fell to the ground pulling Shaba’s hear with it.Shaba’s body fell next to Felan’s, as a thunderous growl came from a short distance away. Keyne was instantly standing over the 2 looking down at
FELAN… Felan woke up to find Keyne in the bed next to her. He had wrapped his arm around her waist. She eased out from under his arm looking around. “This must be the hotel.” She thought, not realizing she had been out for that long. She looked at the clock and saw it read 4:00 am. “I am going to shower and get some food.” She said to herself. She quietly gathered some clothing and walked into the bathroom, trying not to wake Keyne. She turned the water on and waited for it to warm before steeping under the water. The shower felt nice. Her muscle were starting to relax, when she heard a knock. “Felan, are you ok?” Keyne asked. “Yeah, I’ll be out in a few.” She answered. Thirty minutes later she emerged. “Felan, we need to talk.” He told her as she stepped into the room. “I know, but can we please wait until we are home.” She responded, putting on her shoes. “I guess.” He said sounding defeated. “I want to talk and we will, but first I would like to get some food and just enjoy a fe
FELAN AND AALIYAH…“What is going on?” Aaliyah asked her. “I don’t know where to start.” She said. “Just pick something and start.” Her mother said now looking more concerned. “What do they have planned for Josiah?” She asked calmly. “I am not sure.” Her mother answered her. “Mom, I know he has done terrible things. I don’t think I can see him killed, but I know keeping him in captivity has risks. If he was able to escape once, I know he will be able to do it again someday. Just a matter of when.” Felan said, with worrying now in her eyes.“My how you have grown far beyond your years. You shouldn’t have to worry about such things like this. I am so sorry, Felan, that you have had to grow up faster, than you should have. I can’t even imagine what you have been through. You are wise. I don’t know what is in store for Josiah, but together, we will figure it out.” Her mother said wrapping her arms around her tightly.Felan suddenly began to cry harder than she had before. Her mom started
ASHUR… Ashur was happy to see his Uncle and figured this would be the best time to mark Sam. This might be the last time all of his friends and family would be together to celebrate. He also knew that when they reached the pack it would be chaotic and very busy for at least a few weeks. He would talk to Nezerra and Aaliyah about staying an extra night. He wanted to make this special and celebrate the marking of his mate. He wanted to make her more than his mate. He wanted Sam to be his wife. He would need Aaliyah and Felan’s help. He needed to talk to his uncle and hoped that he still had the ring that belonged to his mother. His mother had left to Jake to hang on to it until Ashur was old enough and asked for it. He worried that with the attacks and rebuilding that the ring would become lost. He mind linked Nezerra, “Alpha, I need to talk to you and I would rather do it face to face.” “I am at the stable barn.” Nezerra replied back. “Be there in 10.” Ashur said cutting the mind li
