The night I was born it was said to be a blood moon the whole pack was anticipating the arrival of the first born alpha heir to the midnight crescent pack. My father was a likeable man very humble and noble, strong and fierce. one who put our pack above all. We were a strong pack of 4000 nearly double the size of the average pack but we were thriving and doing very well for ourselves. His leadership gave us an admirable reputation that most packs inspired and desired to have allowing many alliances with in the shifter world.
When I arrived into the world it was no shock that the leaders of the other super natural fractions came bearing gifts and offering blessings to me. It was not something that was often done between the fractions considering my father was not the shifter fractions leader that title belonged to our bordering neighbour the obsidian pack. although we had many alliances and were beloved among the shifters our relationship with the obsidian pack and alpha Charles was a strained one dating back to our fathers teens so the shifter leader did not come baring gifts or blessings. My mother was alpha Charles infatuation and the one he had often pursed as his mate before coming of age. Alpha Charles was hellbent on my beautiful mother being his mate be it fated or chosen she on the other hand wanted to wait for her faited mate and did not reciprocate the feelings for Charles.When my mother became of age it so happened to fall on the annual mating ball where young unmated shifters came together for a grand ball in the hopes of finding their mate if their mate wasn’t with in their own pack. That year it just so happened to be held at her pack the obsidian pack yes my mother grew up in a rival pack. Both my parents said they instantly felt the pull towards each other and happily embraced each other. Alpha Charles was not happy about it at all a fight broke out between my father and alpha Charles who swore vengeance and openly cursed my parents to never produce a heir and he would willingly take my mother back when they failed to do.But here I am while the alpha title usually goes to the male heir I was the only heir so my life from a young age was very sheltered. I was to have a guard with me at all times from as young as I can remember luckily I grew up in the pack house with the beta Will and his mate Maddison’s sons the future beta heirs Colton and Destin. the twins were very much guarded like myself. The three of us were taught from a young age that a big war was on the horizon and we had to train hard inside our little bubble for that day. from a young age we started our future training while warrior training was mandatory for all wolves in our pack the twins and I started at the ripe age of 4 while the rest of the pack started at 10. The tree of us attended the pack school with our guards at our sides throughout the day apart from the normal education we were also privately educated in our future roles as heirs. We were also privately educated on the four other supernatural fractions the vampires, witches and warlocks, elves and the fae including ancient histories and basic magic work.All of this extra training for our futures left us with very little free time to enjoy the average childhood but Colton, Destin and I were happy and content in each others company anyone would think we were triplets and were often called that by our families and pack members alike. We spent much of our free time in our little secret not so secret spot behind the pack house just past an open field of wild flowers was our piece of forest or as we called our secret spot “the base”. The base was where we could be kids and not have the extra pressures heavily weighed apon us we would build forts and cubbies the maids often had to go to the base to retrieve bedding that we used to make our cubbies. We would play boat races down the flowing stream with leaves and sticks and such. The field use to be where we laid on our backs looking for shapes in the clouds, day dreaming, taking turns to read out loud a novel between each other, picking wild flowers and making flower crowns. It was our little spot to be us a spot for ourselves where we did not have to preform or recite or future duties. Although it was our little space I always had a feeling of being watched when we were in our safe space I can not explain it just this eerily feeling of being watched I had always put down to our parents sending guards to watch over us out of sight but that feeling never lost when we were at the base.My dear Colton he was the kind caring sweet loving person of the trio Destin on the other hand was the fire cracker always wanting to be mischievous but that crooked smile of his always had me agreeing to his shenanigans when I really did not want to it was always hard to say no to that cheeky smile of his. I was I would say the free spirit a mixture of both Colton and Destin I think that is why the three of us got along so well.The trio 8 years old.. Today we spent the day with the four supernatural fractions leaders and heirs. My father thinks that having alliances and knowing the vampires, fae, elves and witches will pave the way for a better future and help during the war that is not spoken of outside our little circle. Father doesn’t want to alarm our pack or the shifter community with this information he wants everyone to live fulfilling lives and not constantly worry about impending doom. While the parents did whatever the parents do while together the five of the leaders families are together us children were always taking part in warrior training it was a monthly thing for us our parents thought it was best to grow up together and learn each other’s strengths and weakness during battle so we could learn to work together. Makes sense really altogether there is 17 of us from the 5 fractions all various ages skills and leadership. In the morning they divide us up according to age the older children wor
Trio aged 10… It was a few years since I had seen his angry red eyes watching me although I had not seen him since I was eight when I was at the base with Colton and Destin I still had that eerie feeling of being watched in time and Colton’s comforting words I learnt to live with that feeling and pay no attention to it. Today included the twins and I were on the first platform before the second set of stairs leading to the tree house cottage. It was a nice spring day so the boys bought down the fishing gear and were fishing into the stream from the first floor platform it was one of the few things they enjoyed to do fishing was not a big wolf thing but the boys liked it even though they didn’t catch much. I was bored reading a book when a sudden thought came to mind I put my book down. “Let’s play chasey Im bored I don’t want to fish or read I want to run so how about a game of chasey” Colton did not look interested in such a game but Destin had that crooked smile of his plastered
16 year old trio.. Our personal training session has been nothing short of torture. But it has paid off Colton Destin and I are are the best skilled warriors in our pack how do I know this because we still have to partake in pack training sessions while we have been pretty segregated from the pack for the majority we still partake in all pack activities and attend our pack high school. We have friendships outside the trio but having guards with us 24/7 and our extra training puts a strain on the friendships. Destin has his warrior and typical jock friends Destin has his group of friends while I have mine. We also kind of merged our friendships as we prefer to stick together we have a group that all hangs out together to eat lunch with. I don’t get to do the things Sophie and maddy do like going shopping together or trips to the movies I do not feel any less apart of the group but I would like to join them on teenage experiences just once in a while outside of the pack house. My fathe
While we drive the forty minutes to the high school campus both Colton and I pull out our schedules we have five classes today and have two together. I don’t mind though because the other three classes I have with either Delilah, Alvin, Marisha or Karla. Makes me feel better knowing I have someone with me for my first day the F5 group chat has been blowing up since Colton let it slip we were starting today I did say we should have just surprised them. The F5 group chat is four other fraction alliances the shifters making the 5th fraction so F5 meaning fraction 5. We only have our age group in the F5 chat although we do have a group chat with all 17 of us heirs in it should we need to make contact between all of us that is a pretty dead chat but the F5 is always thriving apart from Destin and Karla who actively do not take part in the chat unless necessary. The group chats keeping me and Colton occupied and before we know it we have arrived. The building is a giant 1800s style castle
By now the whole class has taken a break and crowded around us on the mat. As we take our stance I take the time to assess his stance and any minor faults I can visibly notice without assessing his technique. The whistle blows and he gets straight to it and as expected comes straight at me swinging which I effortlessly duck and weave while jabbing him in the ribs while I do. he lacks stamina because Lucas is already getting short of breath and is acting out of anger and using very little technique. He charges at me again this time i weave and smash him in the chin while he is still recovering from the shock of my jab I round house kick him drop to a sweeping kick and put him flat on his back. The teacher blows the whistle and declares my win everyone starts to cheer when I hear a growl and some commotion behind me where I not to long ago left Lucas on his back in defeat. When I turn around Chase is on top of Lucas repeatedly punching him in the face. The teacher gets in and breaks the
Chases strides are long and fast and I’m all but jogging to keep up. It was the first time I could truly take in his appearance up close his long black hair was slicked back, the skinny ripped Jeans looked as though they could combust with all the muscle underneath them. His v neck black shirt clung nicely to his sculptured body with tribal tattoos up both arms the only colour on him was the long sleeved red checkered shirt tied around his waste. His eyes were dark brown almost black and his dimple would make anyone melt. I cleared my throat and found the courage to speak “um thanks for helping out with Lucas today I hope you didn’t get in too much trouble” Chase threw his head back and let out a laugh. “Trouble is my middle name.. besides now we are even you saved me all those years ago I was only returning the favour” He suddenly stops in front of a door opens it and struts inside. I briefly glance at the door number to confirm this is my class I look into the class to see Alvin
Alvin and I walk into the pack house my parents are already awaiting our arrival. They smile proudly at the both of us “how was the first day sweetie” my mother asks. I plastered on a fake smile and stop the impulse to reply oh it was great I had made an enemy , got detention oh and chase the alpha to be of the obsidian pack has declared to make my life a living hell. I swiftly tell my parents “ it was great i am so excited to expand my training and education sorry I’m late Alvin and I wanted to get a head start on a project we were given today” My father pats Alvin’s back firmly “thatta boy Alvin you will make a fine leader for the elves one day” alvin smiles in return and thanks my father explains he too is late home and better get going. We say our good byes and I thank Alvin. It’s been a big day and want to retreat to my room as I’m heading up the stairs two at a time my father yells out to me not to forget about the dinner tomorrow night. I internally kick myself I forgot about
We arrive at school the F5 crew is already awaiting our arrival. Destin puts his arm around my shoulder as we head towards our group of friends. Karla looks agitated today and storms off as me are approaching I make a mental note to check in with her and see if she is okay. I have first period with her so I will take the opportunity to ask her then. I greet Delilah and Marisha with a hug while the boys give Alvin and his brother skeeter a fist bump. We chat for a bit before heading off to class. Colton is walking me to my class this morning he stops outside the door and gives me a hug. We don’t notice chase until he bumps Colton’s shoulder on his way inside. My sweet boy Colton just shrugs it off and takes off into a sprint to get to his class. I walk into the class room and scan the room Karla isn’t in the room and I have two choices the empty desk in front of Chase or the seat next to him. Definitely going with the desk in front. The teacher jumps straight into it and starts handing
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
