We enter my fathers office and his eagerly awaiting our presence. He gestures to the seats in front of his desk opposite him. “ okay let’s get straight to it I have the four fractions on conference call so they can also be present for this meeting we have the fae , vampire, witch and elf representatives all on the line I think it is best to have everyone on alert in case of similar events. Faith baby I have filled everyone in on the details leading to our arrival if you could be the star of the show and tell us what happened from your perspective it would greatly help us all” I take a deep breath feeling the pressure on me mixed with the high emotions running in the room and coming from the F5 reps aka the people I have grown up with and now seemingly in a very formal environment. “When we arrived I couldn’t see the new blood a stayed in position as instructed I could feel the energy buzzing the second I saw her I almost tapped into the energy buzzing around. I could feel her energy
I mindlink my dad walking down to the kitchen to let him know I plan on going to the hospital to visit our patient I also tell him I will be taking Destin as a guard and ask if he can send out Colton with some warriors to scout the area where we found the new blood for any clues or evidence of sorts. I know I seen chase there is red eyes reflecting back to me in the dark I want to know why he would possibly be in the area at the time since it’s not like I can openly ask him. Both Destin and I take a breakfast burrito from the kitchen to go. We walk to the pack hospital eating in silence both lost in thought. Finally Destin breaks the ice. “Sooo princess how does it feel to be a miracle working how exciting you were the first to fully reverse the process of new bloods” I shrug my shoulders and take the last bite of my burrito. “I don’t know i wouldn’t say I’m a miracle worker just the first to actually try to reverse the process” Destin looks at me tells me I’m too humble and what
A million thoughts running through my mind I’m power walking I have forgotten all about Destin and his struggling to keep up. The girl came from the obsidian pack and I know I saw chase in the distant last night he is the only werewolf I know with those red eyes all werewolves eyes glow gold. So we have a girl newly turned vampire from his pack with him in the area his father has an age old vendetta with my mother, father and our pack because he couldn’t handle my mothers rejection. This is a lot to take in and process what role does bad boy chase play in all this? At this point I had still completely forgotten about destin’s presence until he spun my around and pulled me into his chest in a big bear hug. “I know you have a lot going on princess but the burden is not yours alone to carry me and Colton will always be by your side you do not have to face this alone. It’s a lot to take in and take on at the moment but please don’t shut us out let us face this with you and beside you”
We waited in the car for marlene to finish her shift at the diner. Destin and me filled Colton in on what happened this morning at the pack hospital. It almost seems surreal that only this morning I had learnt about my mothers childhood best friend and a few hours later we find her. I also rang Delilah to tell her we would be running a little late I didn’t want to worry her or the coven. The last few customers leave the diner and I can see the waitress locking up and turning the open sign over to closed. I didn’t see Marlene until she was tapping on my side window. She invites us back to her cottage so we can talk she said she would feel more comfortable there. We are headed back on the road towards the coven when we take a turn ten minutes up the road onto a dusty dirty road and follow it for another thirty minutes by this time Destin is starting to get suspicious of our new friend and looks into the rear view mirror and asks “You live all the way out here?” Then Destin glances bac
Marlene packed the best she could in her state even with the help from us. She seems to be in complete shock she hasn’t said a single word since I gave her the news it has been a long hour drive to the coven. The high priestess along with Delilah are waiting outside the high priestess’s cottage when we arrive Marlene collapses into the arms of the high priestess while Delilah takes the twins and i to the cottage we will be calling home for the next week. My father and a group of the elite warriors are in a convoy almost a hours away to pick Marlene up to take her home. My mother would have come but she is refuses to leave Sophia’s side in case she wakes up. I can’t help but laugh when we get to our cottage it’s small in size not that we mind and but it only has enough room for one double and a single bed. “Looks like you two are sharing then” I laugh at the sight imagining both bulky boys crammed into the bed like sardines. We unpack our things then head to the bon fire where Delila
I look at Colton confused I’m not sure of his motives at this point but his behaviour has me on edge this is not like Colton to be creeping around in the night and dragging me off into the woods. His pacing back and forth pulling his hair. “COLTON” I bring him out of his thoughts. He glares at me and I’m unsure of what to make of it.“Where were you faith? What were you doing in the woods” “Have you been following me Colton what is going on why did you bring me out here” He sits next to me on the long and im feeling uncomfortable about his erratic behaviour. “No I haven’t been following you but why were you out here in the woods at night by yourself what were you doing?” “I couldn’t sleep so I thought a run might wear me down a bit why are you so on edge Colton talk to me” He slumps his shoulders in defeat as if he wants to talk about something but can’t. “Okay so this is going to sound weird but every since we Um well umm you know made out that night I have been having weird
The water is cool and refreshing on my skin when I resurface from the jump I’m met with Atticus splashing me. I splash him back before our playful game is interrupted by Destin jumping into the water doing a Bombie between me and atticus. When he resurfaces he flicks his wet hair at me. The rest of the guys are at the other end of the rock pool and call Destin over for a bombie competition. Destin gives me a knowing look before he swims off. “So tell me faith I heard the news whirling around the coven and I’m intrigued how does a wolf such as yourself know enough about magic to reverse the effect of a new blood it’s pretty admirable” “Well nice to hear in the talk of the coven I thought gossip was more up the elves alley. But to answer your question a lot of training and education from a young age not just in shifter education but the other four supernatural fractions along with the ability to follow one’s intuition” Atticus is easy to talk to and get along with he seems pretty chi
The healers come rushing into the high priestess’s room with a few of the magic elders. I hold her hand the entire time stroking her hair at one point she places something in my hand but I do not peel my eyes off her to look what it is. the healers try traditional and western medics the bring her life force back but it’s all done in vain. She is gone my would be mentor leader of the midnight coven and friend to many lays lifeless on the floor it brings very little comfort knowing I was there to help her pass into the beyond. The tears start to pour and I can not stop them I look into my hand to find she placed a key in my hand I have no idea what the key is for but hopefully one of the elders do. We sit in silence for a while before one of the elders clears his throat. “We must prepare the ritual to have Delilah sworn in as high priestess immediately. We shall announce to the coven the significant loss of the high priestess and allow them to come with blessings before we send her off
Leaving Delilah and Leon behind to work through their problems chase and I make our way back to our room. We walk hand in hand in a comfortable silence chase keeps stealing glance at me until I stop and turn to face him. “Spill it I can sense your anxiety through the bond” Chase closes the distance between us and takes me in his arms burrowing his face into my neck and inhaling my scent as he mumbles“Today helping Leon process everything it made me realise that I never want to lose you through differences I want you by my side even on the hardest of days and I would never leave you on your hard days promise me we will get through everything together and I will cut ties with my pack to allow you to go through the alpha initiation and take your rightful place” I look deep into his eyes for any hint of doubt but find nothing but confidence in his words.“I don’t want to deny you your rightful place as alpha of the obsidian pack so I propose we both take the title of alpha in my pack
Delilah ~Leon was in a fit of rage the energy he is emitting is so powerful if I weren’t Leon’s intertwined I’m sure I would have passed out five minutes ago. “You knew Delilah and you didn’t think to tell me. Some intertwined you are if you can keep such a big thing from me what else could you hide from me? Do you have anymore skeletons in your closet because now is the time to lay everything on the table I don’t know if I could handle anymore deception from you” “Leon please calm down. I had your best interests at heart I only wanted to protect you from the truth until the time was right we weren’t doing it with malice” “I’m half fucking demon Delilah half demon I’m a monster” Leon dropped to his knees on the floor in his desperate vulnerable state i cautiously walk to his side rubbing circles on his back and softly whisper.“You’re no monster Leon far from it you may be demon by blood but you are pure of heart. I’m sorry I did not tell you sooner I however don’t regret my deci
After we question leon further to see if we can get any information he may not have recollected or deemed important chase, Conrad, Delilah and I look between each other I give Delilah a look and the witch bitch understands my unspoken question shaking her head and looking down I know she is not the one who wants to break Leon’s lineage to him. I give chases hand a squeeze under the table confirming he is the one to break it to leon. Chase clears his throat and looks at leon I can tell this is hard for him after all he was the one who smuggled Nikki and Leon out of the cells in the obsidian pack and gave them a new life. “I have something to tell you leon and it’s not going to be easy for me to say I want you to know you are a good friend and what I’m going to say may not be easy to hear but I done at the time what I thought was in your best interest and it’s time I speak your truth you deserve to know who you are”Leon cocks his head to the side clearly unsure about what chase is say
Chase and I make our way down to the coven and stop abruptly when we see a group of coven members preforming a protection spell around Delilah and Leon’s cottage we both know better than to interrupt the ritual so we take a few steps back so not to interrupt the energy field they are using. It’s not long before Marisha and Conrad come walking over hand in hand. “What in the hocus pocus is going on here” Marisha visibly rolls her eyes.“You are so uncultured for a supernatural species with having a close alliance with dark mages you are clueless” “Excuse me for not being an expert on ouija boards. Is anyone going to answer my question what the fuck is that shit it looks hectic” “A protection spell. It creates a barrier dark forces or anyone wishing ill can not penetrate the spell preformed by some of the countries strongest witches and wizards nothing could get past their threshold” “Challenge accepted” Marisha slaps Conrad in the chest while shaking her head. Conrad gives her a
I open my eyes and I’m surrounded by darkness I’m floating on the nothingness that surrounds me I can feel the cold on my skin and nothing else. As I start to feel the desperate whispers of what I can only assume are tortured souls the darkness eloping me drowning me in the pit of others despairs I feel it crawling on my skin. In the distance I can see a speck of a bright white light as if a beckon it’s warmth calls to me I don’t know how I know but I know I must reach the light or succumb to the dark void I feel surrounding me. I start to drift in the direction of the bright light but it seems forever out of my reach. I frantically start to swim in the nothingness desperate to reach the warm embrace of the light. I finally find my way to the light when an ethereal aura appears swirling through the light a golden aura swirling through the light I can feel a presence with in the golden hue but no embodiment appears. “Faith both you and chase have finally completed your destined bond b
We are all back in my office now including Marisha and Conrad I guess they are now very much apart of the inner circle. Everyone is seated around my rectangular mahogany desk waiting for the kitchen staff to bring up some snacks so we can get started. One of the kitchen staff bring in a silver trolley full of assorted sandwiches, fruits, nuts, petite desserts bottles of water and cans of soda she lays it out on the table. Conrad reaches over and takes a sandwich shovelling it into his mouth he reaches for another when Marisha slaps his hand and reminds him about table manners. Chase rolls his eyes at this gesture. “His a bloody demon he knows nothing about table manners let the man eat” Conrad sends a wink chases way and it gives me a brilliant idea. So far we have decided Destin alone will be my beta and we will hold trials for the gamma position who ever wins will take the gamma title. Delilah has stated her coven have all agreed they no longer want to rebuild their old coven and h
Now that everyone is here I turn to Karla she is surprised she was the first one I turned to in a pack crisis I guess she thought I invited her along to the meeting because of Destin. “Karla you have more of an understanding of chase then anyone here. How would you see him taking on the role of alpha to both packs”“Thats something you and chase need to discuss faith have you seriously called us all here to help you convince your mate to do as you wish?”“You have me all wrong Karla. Yes I do need some assistance from my beta because this while it involves my mate is a pack matter and I’m not a dictator and thought your input would be highly valuable and well I never do much with out Delilah now Leon too and I just so happened to bump in Marisha and Conrad no offence guys you are welcome here on the contrary. Yes it is between chase and I but it also involves our pack and I value your opinion Karla you know him better than I do I want to meet him half way”“Maybe you should be having
I appreciate my father and everyone who came here to explain what has happened to chase but I do not wish to be standing outside chases room I want to be by his side. I let everyone know I will be going back to chases side and will call a meeting with the vampire elders myself and chase when he wakes and is in good health to do so. Surprisingly everyone is so understanding and gives their well wishes to chase. I walk into the room and study his features as he lays there in a deep sleep. I step towards the bed and notice chases scent has slightly changed and I feel the pull to him tenfold. I lift the covers and slide into the bed next to him curling into chase while intertwining our hands. I don’t know when but I drift off into a peaceful sleep. I do not know where I am but it’s complete chaos there’s dead bodies littering the ground of all species the skies are dark grey and alpha Charles stands in front of me with a victorious grin. I look around my surroundings for any clue as to w
“You should know princess since I’ve accepted my fate as the child of light I have increased strength and powers and I do not plan to show your lover boy any form of mercy just so you know” Colton mindlinks looking directly at me and smirks at me with a shit eating grin. “So be it Colton I have believe in my MATE and I’m sure he can handle himself against you may the best man win”“Mate? I don’t see a mark on either of your necks but once I’ve finished him off I’m sure I could put one on your neck for you” I don’t know what it was about Colton’s words that had an ominous feeling rush through me. Like there was some hidden message within his words. I know chase can handle himself but I plan to hang around closely something is not sitting right with me and my intuition is always dead on. Both Colton and chase take their stances the gamma calls for a clean fair fight may the best win. Chase puts his hand out to Colton in good gestures before they fight but Colton refuses to shake his
