Two weeks to prepare for a war that would change everything, either ridding the world of Demacores entirely or would be nothing but doom. Are there any POVs that you would be interested in seeing during the war?
MADDOXFighting to take down the fuckers who thrived within this chaos gave me a sense of peace. It felt like I was being redeemed and cleansed of the shit I had done in the past. I would spend the rest of my life doing everything that I could for that redemption.Yes, I was following Calvin’s orders, but I still did it. He was truly a sadistic fucker who got off on hurting others. He started grooming me after Mom ‘died’ and went to some serious lengths just to make me compliant to his demands. I had tried to fight it all in the beginning, but I was weak and wanted to avoid my body being destroyed time and again.I had always envied the innocence of pups and the way that they would look at the world that was filled with adventure. The ones who saw the good in others. I had never gotten close to any because I was afraid of tainting that innocence and ripping it away from them.It was amazing to witness how accepting they were of me even though I was a stranger. I wanted to do everything
KALENKalamar would be attending the meeting with his parents, who led the thunder, and the ones who were in charge of the training and safety of everyone.Since they had witch heritage, their blood had to be added to the boundary. Thankfully, the blood of his parents would allow anyone of his thunder’s members to cross without needing to use their own blood since the entirety of the thunder was bonded through his parents.Aunt Imeela, Uncle Jackson, Zion, and some of their Cabinet members would be attending. Valis and his leadership would also be coming.Certain allied packs, covens, and clans would be joining us this morning. We were planning a war after all and were short on time. More brainpower that could work on this would be welcome.We were also bringing Lilac’s parents so that they could see how we would be keeping their daughter safe. They would be able to see the sheer amount of power on our side.Lilac and Eliza would be coming to Nightshade, where we were having the planni
MADDOXHonestly, it was still strange to see Kalamar because of his previous connection Calvin. However, I truly appreciated everything that he had done. I was also thankful for his people’s help with this war.It was reassuring to see the large group of people that were gathered here. These were the leaders and those who were integral to strategizing. There was an incredible amount of power in this gathering, making me hopeful that we would end up pulling this off.I knew what Beauty would be suggesting the moment that her aunt mentioned what they found out about poison. It would require another astral walk where she would be hoping that a bite would transfer more poison. I was not fucking thrilled about that at all, but I understood why she would want to do it. We needed every advantage that we could get against our enemies.Was it possible to somehow use me to get the venom? Perhaps Jaxon would have some insight. I knew that we did not have all of the same abilities or anything, but
KALENOur current leadership, our future leadership, and Cadence sat down yesterday after we made it back home so that we could go over everything that we had learned from the strategy session.It was amazing to see how much everyone was coming to bat for each other. It was not just about one group of us because everyone would be affected by the outcome of this war. We were fighting not just for our lives but for freedom for each of our species and those and the ones not being represented alike.The sheer number of fighters on Draxthi’s side was overwhelming to think about, but I just had to push all of that aside so that I could remain focused.A positive note from yesterday was the fact that Lilac’s parents said that they would allow her to be on that battlefield but would prefer for at least one of them to be there as well. They both had elemental magic, and the parent who was not with Lilac would stay and fight.We did not do another astral walk last night because I knew that we ne
MADDOXBeauty never saw herself clearly, but I did. She knew how to appeal to a crowd no matter what the purpose was. This time was no different.We watched people immediately begin breaking off into the groups that she had named. There were large signs to indicate where everyone was to group up.It was so fucking cool to see so many species in one place. Not to mention that they were all here to fight in a war that pitted us against truly evil fuckers that wanted nothing more than to destroy everything.We went around to each group and collected the papers from the various leaders so that we had them as we began creating the groups. It was vitally important that they were as balanced as possible.It was also great to see everyone getting along and making new connections. We had lost count of how many new mate-bonds snapped into place, but I felt that it was reassuring. It was like a good omen.Luckily, the elemental group was quite extensive. We had no idea what all of the represented
KALENMy body jolted awake, heart pounding inside of my chest. I felt really disoriented as my senses settled down.It was just a nightmare…I slowly untangled my limbs from Maddox’s and tiptoed into the bathroom so as to not wake him up.The woman staring back at me in the mirror was someone that I barely recognized.Dull eyes, bruising underneath my eyes from the lack of sleep. Nightmares had been hitting me anytime I fell asleep. I wondered if this was what Mom felt like when she was preparing to face Douchey Loki.We have spent every single day of the past two weeks training hard and preparing for this war. Tomorrow was our last day before we headed out. It would be spent with our loved ones and our people. We had already trained as much as possible, so the best thing that we could do was to surround ourselves with the reminder of what we were fighting to protect.Once the water was hot, I stepped into the shower. I tried to focus on the feeling of the warmth that was pounding down
MADDOXFinding my mate in the shower like that broke my fucking heart.The past two weeks had been hell for her because she felt that it would be on her if anything went wrong. No matter how much anyone tried to convince her otherwise, her thinking never budged. I supposed that many leaders felt that way though.Thankfully, I was able to hold her and help her to release some of that stress and also help her to align her thought process so that she could understand that we were all a team. Then she let me hold her in my arms for the rest of the night.Our people were up and ready to head over to the field between Nightshade and Shadow Falls. It was where everyone would be meeting up before we left for the battlefield.Cooper rushed through the crowd and threw his arms around Beauty. He had not been thrilled to be told that he would be named Dark Moon’s Alpha heir if anything happened to her. However, I knew that he would make her proud if it ever came to pass. She believed in him, and s
KALEN“Hello, boys,” I drawled.I did not need to be a mind reader to know what was going through theirs right now. They were trying to figure out the best way to capture and use me. It was precisely one reason why Vessels kept their identities under lock and key.It had been a calculated risk that we had to take. I did not have to worry about our side betraying the knowledge, but the other side was a risk. However, if everything ended up working out like it was supposed to, then their side would cease to breathe by the time that this war came to an end today.“Before this goes any further, I figure that you deserve to know the truth,” I told them. I took a moment to revel in the wariness in Calvin’s eyes. This would certainly be fun. “You thought that you were the one to capture me, but you played into my own trap. See, I needed to identify what in the fuck Draxy here was. I was exactly where I was meant to be, and you were none the wiser. Did you ever stop to realize that we made our
