Poppy POV When I think back on that day, I became happy and sad at the same time. "It was like any other day actually, I went to school and came home later with a bunch of homework, so I went to my room and got started with it. Sometime my dad came up and told me to come down and take a walk with him so I did that. We walked in the garden and into the forest when dad suddelny said "race you" and shifted into his black wolf. Well I'm not going to lose so I shifted to, it felt so nice to run in my wolf form. We chased each other and played I even tricked him so he fell into a small waterstream. He stood up completely wet and glared at me and I ran, I will not get wet today. He chased me for awhile until he lost me. I was on a unknown territory and didn't know where I was or to get home so I mindlinked dad. "Dad, I don't know where I am, can you help me?" "On my way, stay still baby girl" dad answered me. Yep I'm not moving. I sat down by a tree and looked for my father by the ti
Poppys POV I stare at the door which Aziel slammed shut and started to think if he got angry with me again, that he was gonna break our bond with force and force me to leave all of them. "No Poppy, neither of us are going to separate from each other. Don't you worry about that." Orion says and squeezes my hand gently. Silas hop down from the bed and shifts back to his human form, making me blush as he is naked. Silas and Orion chuckles at my reaction as I hide my face in the blankets. " You will get used to this you know, Poppy." Silas says. "Aziel, are hard to fully understand but he loves you with all of his heart, sweetie. He left to go to your family for answers, there is a lot on his mind right now. It's not every day that you will get this horrible story from your mate, your other half, that your best friend betrayed you." Orion says quietly. I look at him and nods, yes, Aziel and Holly have been extremely close to each other and I can understand that he feels betrayed by
Aziel POV"Holly, I need to hear your explanation about Poppy. She told me what happened with the hunters and what happened that day. Why did you hide her away from me?" I ask her an stare at her.Holly doesn't say anything just tilt her head slightly to the side and then look over at Sky and her hands glow with a faint red glow. I look toward Sky in case he noticed it to but he's just staring at Holly with a blank look on his face.I look back toward Holly but she's isn't there anymore, the rock is empty and the poppy flower is just ash. Sky draws a sharp breath and I look at him to notice that Holly are standing behind him."She paralyzed me" Sky says low."Holly you don't want to hurt your brother, I know that you don't really want to do that. Did you forget that you have told me that you actually care for him?" I ask her cautiosly.Holly moves away from Sky and looks sad, I don't know why though."Aziel, will you come with me and we can go somewhere else and talk? Please I don't l
Aziel POV I mindlinked Orion to meet me outside and as I waited I pondered if I would take the car on a drive perhaps shop a little. I think Poppy would like more clothes and other stuff, I will need Orion to ask her of her favorite colors. Orion comes out with a confused expression but comes over to me, he smells like Poppy and Silas. I smile at his new scent and gives him the bag, telling him to give it to Poppy. He took the bag and nodded, wondered where I would go but I just shrugged. I needed to go away for awhile, not that I was angry with any of them but I needed the space right now. "Okay can you shop somethings for me before you come back?" Orion asked me and gave me a list. As I read it I chuckled, most of the ingridients were to Poppys favorite foods. "She has you wrapped around her little finger I notice" I teased him and he just shrugged. I decided for my own car, it can't take that much place for some clothes and groceries anyway. Orion walked inside and I walked
Aziel POV "Who the hell are you?" I almost yell at the imposter. The fake Viola starts to tremble and tries to claw my hand away, pretty strong but I am stronger. "Atlas!" Violas voice come from behind me and I turn my head toward her. She comes walking with three bags and all of them branded with a shoe logo, thank the goddess. She puts the bags close to the car and comes really close to the imposter that she called Atlas. "What the hell are you doing? Trying to impersonate me? You're failing greatly by the way." Viola say to her imposter. "I was... only ... Holly... Help.. can't... breathe..." the imposter wheeze out through her teeth. I tilt my head and glances at Viola. "Ugh I actually wish for him not to let you go but I want to know why you're mentioning the bitch" Viola says and look at me and motions for me to release her, so I do. Cough cough "You almost strangled me, whats wrong woth you?" I glare at her. Viola has a vial in her hands and give it to the imposter,
Poppy POV "Can I mark you?" Silas asked me seriously. I got surprised by his question as Aziel by force marked me without asking, I tilted my head and looked at him without answering. I felt Orion touch my neck and the sparks moved over my skin and I moaned at the feeling. I closed my eyes as Orion kissed my skin and I felt him lift my shirt up. Silas hot breath tickles my skin as he places light kisses on my stomach and moves higher to my breasts, I tense a little bit when Orion cups one of my breasts in his hands and Silas gently licks my other nipple. Cold and warm sparks move over my breasts and I lift my arms as Orion tug my shirt over my head. I throw my head back as Silas cover my entire nipple with his hot mouth and plays with his tongue over it and even bites a little. Orion lift me onto his lap and Silas kiss me, I open my mouth as he licks my bottom lip. Our tongues meet in a dance that I let Silas lead. I feel Orions bulge in his pants as I squirm on his lap when he
Poppy POV I was so happy when Silas asked me if he could mark me, just that he asked sent me into bliss and that he actually wants me sent me over the moon. But I wasn't ready for his bite to knock me out entirely, I knew that a mates marking can make you feel weak and that an alphas marking can make you faint but my mother said she was asleep for an hour or so but I feel like I have been asleep for days now. I open my eyes and blink a few more times, I can't really understand where I am. I am certain that I was in my room on my bed with Silas and Orion but now I am in a forest. Then I remebered my mothers mating ritual with both my fathers, she was knocked out for a week, as she saw all of their memories. My mother aren't a wolf or a vampire but only a witch so she couldn't share all of her memories with them. So she was knocked out completly and I guess this was that, one of Silas memories since I couldn't remember this has ever happened to me. Just this memory happens when S
Poppy POV I opened my eyes suddenly and sat up, realizing I wasn't in the the forest or in Silas memory. I laid in my bed under my covers and Orion moved quickly and hugged me, told me everything was okay. I didn't understand why he would do that until Silas and Aziel broke down my door scaring me and I shut my mouth. I didn't even realize I had opened it, why did I do that? "What is it? Why did you scream?" Aziel asked. I didn't scream, right? Or did I? I tilt my head and look at Orion that hold my hand and looks at me with worry in his eyes. "You did scream, Poppy. Do you remember why?" Orion asks. I shake my head but remember the fire and Silas fathers eyes when he looked at him and then how he had looked at me when I was small. I remember. "I'm so sorry. Sorry Silas, I'm so sorry. If I only had remembered sooner perhaps I could have done something. Please, please forgive me" I pleaded t
SILAS POV We woke up in our bed but we couldn't see Poppy anywhere, we tried to feel through the bond but it was silent like she was blocking us. We got dressed and quickly went to search for her, we followed her scent into the bathroom but there it stopped. Orion went to go ask Magnolia if she could trace Poppy's magic, as me and Aziel waited we could feel a flimmer in the bond from her and then it was gone. But she was safe and she wasn't afraid so we didn't get any panic as we waited for Orion to come back with Magnolia. When they did come back Magnolia told us she found a letter beside her bed that was from Poppy. She wrote that she went to meet Holly by herself and that we needed to go to the forbidden city and bring her traiterous cousin with us. Oh I had forgotten about him rotting in the dungeons.. We went down to the messhall, trusting Poppy completely, she knew what she was doing, I hope.. Someone had put all the tables together and created one long
POPPY POV Everything went dark as the shadow entered my mind. I felt it poke around and I dropped my walls except the walls around my bonds. It entered my memories and made me relive my most fearsome ones. All my beliefs came rushing to the surface and I almost choked on my own emotions. I remebered a lot of awful things but I also remembered what Hazel had told me. Let Fate in and try to remember the good times also. I willed myself to remember my family, my cousin, my friends and my mates. My wolf, Artemis came up and faced Fate head on when she suddenly called out. "You aren't Fate you are Nightmare!" "Stupid wolf" Fate, no I mean Nightmare called out and tried to attack Artemis. It was a mental battle and I remembered the grand oracles words. "You are never alone. Just remember us and we will come. You share the body with our moongodess daughter. You are blessed." I tugged on my bond to Poppy, Hazel, Willow, Dahlia, my mother
POPPY POV I came back to the mansion in the evening, Tanya picked me up after the sun had set in the sky and brought me back home. My entire family and pack were waiting for me and I felt calm for once. I smiled as I hugged Silas hard and we got hugged by Orion and Aziel to. We walked in to a feast, everyone was here and they were happy as I could hear laughter and see smiling faces every where I looked. I was happy too and as the evening went by this nervous feeling was setting in through me but then I sensed it didn't come from me but it came through the bond. I looked at my mates and noticed Orion's eyes on me and his sad smile and I tilted my head and smiled at him. He grabbed my hand gently and kissed the back side of it and then he got up and excused himself before he walked up the stairs. I felt through the bond that he went up to the attic, I looked at Aziel and Silas and both nodded for me to go after him so I kissed them
SILAS POV I couldn't understand at first why Poppy's emotions were all over the place but I figured it out last night and now I just needed to confirm it but at the same time I didn't want to know. What the hunters did to her brought her down completely and if I would give her a slight of hope now and she would lose against Holly.. No I don't want to think about this right now. I wanted to tell Orion and Aziel but at the same time I didn't want to get everyone's hopes up right now. All of us needed to concentrate on the fight and the upcoming war. I sat on the grass watching Poppy train her magic against her own mother and her aunts. Aziel was talking to his father and trying to explain what has happened in the years where he has been sleeping. He also contacted his foster parents and they are coming here to help in this stupid war. Zion and Greg are training the wolves as Orion explained that Poppy could borrow their s
SKY POV I didn't think that I could actually kill him since I never have killed anything before neither has my wolf, Jax. But both me and Jax were so in tune with each other when we decided to take back dad's pack. I don't know if this is what my mates wanted but I felt like this is what I needed to do. Like it was a part of my destiny, like this pack had something more to offer than just the alpha title. Jax howled loudly as to announce we were the new alpha and at once all the wolves in this pack bared their necks to us in submission. I shifted back to my human form and someone was nice enough to throw me a pair of shorts to me. I put them on as quick as I could as I felt rage and jealousy through the bond, coming from my mates. I raised my head and breathed in a lot of air before adressing my new pack. "I, Sky Jensen are the new alpha of the Steel moon pack. Who opposes me?" "No one here. You were destined for this pack fro
POPPY POV Kai stared at me before he answered. " Hmm getting rid of all the hunters are one of hell of tempting thought but what is it I will gain? I will probably lose some of my pack and then what? Huh cousin?" "Well what do you want then?" I ask, tired of his mindgames. "A luna. As you can see none of the females wolves in this pack were strong enough to bear my mark so they died or killed themselves. So I need someone that can give me an heir." Kai said and walked over to me. I willed myself to stand still as he slowly raised his hand and touched my left breast and fondled it. I tilted my head to the side so my hair moved and revealed my mate marks. Kai clicked his tongue in annoyance. "You have been marked already, such a pity" I stare at him, there is something wrong here but I can't put my finger on it. "Well I can always erase their marks and replace it with my own but then again I want a strong luna and not one who can't handle my pack" Kai looks me in the eyes with a
POPPY POVAs I stepped out of the portal still screaming I managed somehow to calm myself down as I breathed in the clear mountain air. I looked around and noticed the snow laying around. How high up was i?"Poppy, something is wrong. Be careful, we aren't alone here" Artemis growled in my head.I looked around but couldn't see anything but I felt them, they were here, hiding. I pretended that I hadn't noticed them but I and Artemis were ready to shift just in case. I wandered around, exploring the place when I felt Sky looking for me just as I arrived outside a couple of caves. Well more like 10 or more caves."Here they come" Artemis warned and growled loudly in my head.I still felt Sky in my head as I watched people coming out of the caves, no not people, werewolves."Hello, it seems I am a bit lost. Can you please tell me where I am?" I asked carefully.The biggest man there with black long hair and a full black beard with very black eyes answered."This is the entrance of the St
SKY POV Confused I look at mom. "What surprise?" I ask of her but she just keep giggling. " Well you already know that your father and your dad met each other long before me and have been together for over 100 years or so, so sometimes they need to be.. you know alone..." she dragged out the last word and looked at me. I stared at mom that kept giggling in her own world and then I got it finally and I rushed out of the room in a hunt for my twin sister as she had our bond blocked so I couldn't mindlink, but because of mom's next words I stopped myself in the middle of the hallway. "You shouldn't be embarrassed Sky, you will do this to you know now when you to have met your mates" I felt myself blush as I let her words sink in and then I proceeded walking out, as I walked down the stairs to the messhall I saw both Tanya and Matt and suddenly remembered mom's words, damn. "Hi Sky" Tanya said and smiled, I smiled back. "Hi guys" I answere
POPPY POVThe big day is here ... I am so nervous by this time a day. I will soon meet my sister for the big talk and no it's not like that. Sky comes in to my room and I nod and sit on my bed and he sits opposite of me. We take each others hands and channel each other. "Damn sis , your power is strong as hell" Sky says as he feel my power running like electricity between us.I chuckle and smile at him before closing my eyes, sharing our powers between us and I can feel all the metal around us like it was a living thing that says "hello" to me. With a sharing strength we stretch our minds to our sister, trying to connect with her and after awhile we succeed and with some magic borrowed from our mother we create an illusion.We move our illusion bodies into the illusion space that our mother helped us create and we are met with Holly. The space created are beautiful just as mothers magic, we are standing on a forest terrass with a round table and three chairs in the middle. A lot of
