Leia POV: I woke up this morning not really sure how I was feeling about what today's events would unfold. We were all curious about how they would react to it. While I washed my hair my mind drifted back to the conversation that took place when we all were sitting around the porch.. **FLASHBACK** I sat on the swing while Ambrosia, Brandon and Jackson followed suit. "So how are you really feeling?" Ambrosia asked. I sat back against the swing and pulled my legs up. "Honestly, I have no idea. I thought maybe I would feel a little better being the one that decides what is going to happen but then I started thinking about how they are going to react, will they try to play on our tempers? Or would they accept it and not cause anymore problems." I replied, shrugging my shoulders. I was leaning more towards them playing on our tempers. "None of us know what is going to happen, I mean when we all grew up we didn't see this side of them." Jackson said and I nodded my head. The
Leia POV: As we stood still waiting for alpha Scott to really begin I could still see the confusion on some of their faces. This was something that was kept a secret for the most part and now they are all about to find out what really happened. "As we wait for them to be brought out I would like to explain why the Blackwood pack along with the covens are doing here." He said finally speaking. "Leia was once part of this pack until she was not only captured by Bosch but was under what we know as the forbidden magic. To better explain I would like to invite Pythia up." Scott nodded towards her. I could feel my heart racing, there were details that I did not want anyone to know and I knew that Pythia wouldn't bring them up. "Hello everyone, when it comes to the forbidden magic there is a difference, you see we are dark witches are able to use dark magic on a lot of things but the forbidden magic is by far the worst. It has the potential to morph us into different creatures essentiall
Hello everyone! this book takes place in the mix of book 1. this shows what happens to Leia after she is rescued. Leia POV There is no light at the end of this tunnel for me, if there was well then I wouldn’t know. I was living my current hell, fully conscious of what was happening but having little to no control over my own body. My wolf, Una, has been locked in some sort of cage. She looked smaller than she normally is. Her soft brown fur was mangled and rough, her once bright brown eyes were dim and dark. I shouldn't have gone to that party. I was warned about leaving the pack lands but yet my selfishness got the best of me. "She really is pretty." A man said in a slick tone. Una growled softly while I wanted to shrink to the back of my mind. "I know you can hear me in there, let me formally introduce myself. I am Bosch and you my dear are a wonderful prize." Bosch said, touching the side of my cheek. I couldn't even move my own body away from him. My skin felt like it would ha
**FLASHBACK** Leia POV I was finishing the final touches of my look. I curled my blonde hair but pinned it back on both sides, blue jeans and a black tank top. I wasn't overly flashy and this was a human party that I decided to go to. "Leia, we really shouldn't go. We have been warned to stay inside the lands." Una nagged. "It is just for a couple hours Una, we will make an appearance and then come back home. I promise." I replied. "Just know that I do not agree with this." Una said before pushing herself to the back of my mind. I know she means well and I should probably listen but I am due for a good time. My best friend is a luna of a pack now, I've been a little sad, I really miss her. "Tell me you are not seriously going to a damn party." Brad said barging in my room. I rolled my eyes, "I am for a little while. I'll be back before you know it." I replied looking up at him. "It isn't a good idea Leia, you know dad will kick your ass if he finds out." Brad grumble
Brandon POV: As much as I loved working out, I even needed a break every now and then. A war was on the rise and we were all on edge, Alley was getting new abilities every time we turned around, not that I minded. I thought it was pretty badass. Seeing all the element carriers was crazy for me, maybe because I am not a witch or anything, but they were crazy looking. My wolf, Lane, has been on edge since everything happened. We didn't like someone trying to kill our Luna and even though she can take care of herself we would still lay our lives down to protect her at all costs. Maybe it is a good thing I haven't met my mate yet, maybe the goddess is waiting until after this war. I wasn't really sure. I wanted to give up on looking and in a way I did. I stopped turning my nose up to see if I could pick up on a scent that would take me to her. I stopped going to meetings that didn't require my presence, Lane and I just needed to be patient a little longer. "What are you doing today?"
Brandon POV: Pythia tilted her head to the side as if she was amused by what Alley had said. "I figured you would be.. bigger, but these two said you were stronger than you appear." She said, earning a few growls from us. I didn't like the tone she had in her voice as she said that. She narrowed her eyes on us but brought her eyes back to Alley. "You see, my mother was a power whore. Wanted it all and didn't care what would happen to her and the rest of us. When word came that you were the great white witch it angered my mother and she wanted your power." Pythia said looking disgusted. "Bosch had come to us wanting to work together but she denied him, she didn't want to share that power, but then I looked into what would happen if she did consume your power." She paused, pinching the bridge of her nose. "She would have literally burst taking all of our kind with her to the after world. You see why I had to kill her and take over?" She asked, "What do you mean she would have burst
Leia POV: I couldn't even tell you what day it was, or how long I had even been here. Una kept trying to reach out to Brad but so far there has been no luck. I was literally a fighting machine, I didn't know how he was making my body do what it was doing and honestly I would rather die at this point. I kept telling myself that people would come any minute but when it didn't happen it was just a big disappointment so I stopped telling myself that. It was rare that I got to go outside anywhere and I wasn't sure if it was because he thought that I was going to break free and run away or if he just somehow knew I hated being in this damn place so it is where he kept me. The Atsila guy kept coming and going and I grew more and more curious about him. I wondered who Stella was, it had to be a family member or something. I did find out that he is an element carrier, he was to watch over Alley and then give Bosch information about her but I noticed very quickly that Atsila was vague with
Leia POV: Bosch took a step forward and Una growled at him. "I just figured you would want some company. I am sure it gets lonely here." Bosch said. I knew he was trying to upset me but I wouldn't give him the satisfaction. "I have all the company I want right here, can't say the same for you. You must be lonely out there, not having any friends. Having to use magic and blackmail to have people around you. It's honestly very sad, but why use the magic on me? Afraid Una and I are too strong for you to handle?" I taunted. I was the queen at going tit for tat with people. If he wanted to upset me he would have to try a lot harder. "You will understand why I am doing what I am doing. You are too young right now but don't worry. I'll keep you close to me while I kill everyone you love." Bosch laughed before he disappeared. Somehow deep inside me I knew he was full of shit. There was no way that he could kill them, I was right. Others were too strong for him which is why he needs to us

While I washed my hair my mind drifted back to the conversation that took place when we all were sitting around the porch.. **FLASHBACK** I sat on the swing while Ambrosia, Brandon and Jackson followed suit.

Leia POV: Last night's events were probably the best we have had, we sat around the coffee table watching movies, playing a card game and having a few drinks. For once the stress of everything wasn't weighing on our shoulders. The bones had been sent to Collins territory for further examination but this morning they had called us over to Alley and Stephens to hear the result. "Are you ready?" Brandon asked, standing in the doorway. "Do you really think it's him?" I asked. "I don't know honestly, I think we will be disappointed either way this goes, you'll never have your justice or we found someone else and he is still on the loose." Brandon replied. Even if he did die somehow that is justice within itself and something I will just have to be okay with at some point. "As long as he is out of our lives and can't hurt anyone else then I can make peace with it you know." I said. "I know you will, I guess I just wanted you to have the justice that you deserved." Brandon replied. I cou
Brandon POV: I was beginning to get really frustrated. We had been out here for weeks looking for him and still haven't found anything of his at all. Alley has been popping in and out to bring us food and home to spend what time we can with our mates and for those that have children so no one feels like they have to miss out on anything. We were all growing more and more frustrated each day. One day the scent is hot the next day it's like it doesn't exist at all which sends us in different directions. "What are you thinking about over there?" Alex asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. "I didn't think this would take so damn long, why is his scent all over the place the way that it is, you know. It just doesn't make any sense." I replied, shaking my head. "Well, think about it, when we move around a lot our scent travels to different areas so maybe that is what he did to try to throw us off or something." Alex said and I shook my head. "No, there is something more to it that we are
Leia POV: When Brandon left the room Pythia came over to lay on the bed with me. "So tell me how you are really feeling." Pythia said, grabbing a piece of fruit. "I just feel tired and sore mainly." I replied, shrugging my shoulders. "I never really recovered from training with Ambrosia before the rest happened so I think it's really starting to weigh on me." I added and she smiled. "How is your training with her going? Does anyone else know about it?" Pythia asked. "It's been going good. She hasn't taken it easy on me at all, which I like, but I also taunt her when I feel like she is holding back and she scolds me when I am. She also likes to keep me on my toes, you know last time she left me a note." I laughed and I heard Pythia giggle. "She is always like that. She is one tough lady not many would dare to train with." Pythia replied. "I can see why, she is a little intense but in a good way. No one else knows though, I don't want anyone thinking I am getting some sort of specia
Brandon POV: I didn't know how long I had been asleep but when I opened my eyes Leia was still sleeping. I reached over and grabbed my phone off the night stand to see it hasn't even been an hour. I sighed and looked back down at her, I gently picked up her arms and un-did one of the bandages and noticed that it stopped bleeding and looked like it was starting to heal up slowly. I heard a knock on the door and looked up to see that Pythia had stuck her head through. "Is she still sleeping?" Pythia whispered and I nodded my head. She pushed the door open a little further and walked in with some snacks. "I didn't think you would want to leave her so I brought you some food and drinks." Pythia said with a smile. "Thank you, you didn't have to." I whispered. "Hush, you need to eat and I'm sure she will be waking soon and she will be hungry." Pythia said, giving me a stern look and I had to keep myself from laughing. I knew she wasn't one to tango with but there were different sides to
Leia POV: I was trying my best to keep my breathing under control but I started to feel like I was burning from the inside out. "Just relax the best you can." Pythia said, looking down at me. "I need some cold water and rags now!" Pythia yelled out before she looked back down at me. "How are you feeling?" She asked. "Like I'm on fire. I can feel it moving in my veins." I replied. I heard the door open and I looked over to see a young girl bringing in a bowl. "Any update on dumbass yet?" I asked as Pythia took the bowl and rag and sat down next to me, "As far as I heard, your mother has a nice little temper." Pythia replied with a smile. I closed my eyes for a second. She did have a bad temper, probably the worst out of all of us but she kept it inside and controlled most of the time. "What did she do?" I asked, I mean nothing really surprised me when it came to her. "Well, let's just say she has some sharp claws." Pythia replied and I groaned. "A man hunt is about to take place, t
Leia POV: I hardly slept at all last night, my bite wound was not healing like it should and Una has been rather quiet and hasn't said much. So for safety measure Brandon is taking me to Julie and I'm sure she is going to rip my ass up again. "How much pain are you in?" Brandon asked. "I don't want to walk, too much pressure on that side makes it worse. Or it feels that way at least." I replied. "Let me have a look at it." Brandon said and I raised my shirt. I let him take the bandages off and heard him sigh. When I looked down it was starting to turn black. "You can ride on Lane, let's go." Brandon said, helping me to my feet. I went to take a step forward and dug my nails into him, "What the hell is happening?" I gasped before he picked me up. His eyes were glazed over so he didn't hear what I had said. "Leia! What is happening?" Brad asked running up to us. "I don't know, it's not healing." I replied. "I see that, here give her to me and you shift." Brad said, taking me from Br
Brandon POV: When I got home I heard the TV going, I didn't know if she had gone back to sleep or not. I tried to tiptoe my way through the house when I heard her giggle and I stopped. "You are so loud you know." Leia said and I laughed. "At least I tried." I replied and I heard her giggle again. It was one of my most favorite sounds in the world. "You have cement blocks for feet. Now come tell me what's wrong, I can smell the stress on you." Leia said and I closed my eyes for a moment. There was no easy way to tell her what happened so I was just going to have to come out and tell her. I opened my eyes and walked into our room and saw she was sitting up with a cup of tea in her hands. Her face looked a little better than before so I knew Una was healing her to the fastest she could but she was still going to need a day or two but at least she could laugh without it hurting. "Tell me what's going on." Leia said, patting the spot in front of her. "Let me change real quick." I repli
