Faith and the three fates. Chapter 23
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
Faith and the three fates. Chapter 24
Delilah has now come from the ritual and has come to bless the deceased. I’m still in shock that Atticus’s life had been cut short and everything after speaking to his mother was a blur. The pyres are lit and everyone starts to head off when Delilah announces a coven meeting in the main hall in a hour. Delilah walks in step with me thanking me for all my assistance she then asks me to follow her back to the high priestess’s cottage. We walk into the ritual room the pentacle laid in the middle with the elements on each star point there’s a table with feathers, water, animal bones, sand, ashes and all sorts of crystals spread among it. She asks for the key I told no one about so I presume I can trust her judgement. She knocks on the table three times then pulls it forward and lifts up an alter cloth that decorated the wall. She puts the key in and turns it in the lock and it soon opens. She clears the contents and sets them down on the dining table before wandering back into the ritual

Even though it has been a big day and long journey the midnight crescent swears in each member of the midnight coven who have now taken the name midnight crescent coven it seemed fitting then everyone was shown to their rooms. Unsurprisingly Marlene is also sworn in as a midnight crescent coven and pack member she already has been set up in a suite in the pack house but now she has a coven she wants to live amongst them and takes the last remaining cottage for her and Sophia when she awakens. It’s well past midnight when I take a shower and get into bed it isn’t long before the twins arrive together and with out a word get on either side of me in the bed knowing I don’t need their words just their company. That is until Destin farts and Dutch ovens me and for the first time in what seems like forever I laugh at his gross boyish antics. They both wrap an arm around me and I drift off to sleep. I feel like I’m in a deep sleep I’m not dreaming suddenly I feel prickles on my skin and the

I wake up the next morning to an empty bed I look at the clock on the bedside table and spring out of bed when I see it’s eleven in the morning usually it’s a six am start for me working out then study or school. I walk to the shower feeling a little swollen down stairs then imagines of last night rendezvous I smile at what the twins and I got up to but start to feel alone and used considering not one of them stayed with me until I woke up. Now I’m angry sad and decide to get dressed and head to the hospital to check in with Sophia before going down to the coven to make sure everyone including Delilah and Atticus’s family are settling in well. I finish up in the shower and decide to wear a red crop top my leather jacket and some high wasted black jeans with a pair of timberlands I throw my hair up into a messy bun add a touch of fire engine red lipstick. I take my phone before I leave the room when I look on the screen I have a heap of txts and missed calls from both Destin and Colton

I make my way over to Delilah as I’m coming the elders are leaving. I let myself in and call out to Delilah I throw myself on her lounge and she walks in and does the same. “How are you holding up and I’m not asking you as the high priestess but I’m asking as your friend how is Delilah holding up it’s been an intense 48 hours” She lets out a sigh and looks up at the ceiling. “It’s hard work but I’m coping I’ve trained my whole life for this moment yet I feel so unprepared. Add a move and grief into the mix im feeling a little flat” she perks up a little and looks at me “But you my girl are glowing” she sends me a wink and I feel my face redden she knows I wonder if she know with whom. “New moisturiser” I laugh and she laughs with me. “Keep your secrets if you don’t want to kiss and tell that’s fine but I have other ways to find these things out.” “Dont you dare want to take twenty minutes time out and go to the base for a while I haven’t been there in a while and all that’s hap

Delilah povI can see faith struggling she has had an eventful week she wears her strength well but I can tell she is feeling it all hit her like a freight train. She’s just moving her food around her plate and she doesn’t have her usual oomph not even the twins can bring her out of her funk which is odd. She leaves dinner early and doesn’t stay for the traditional f5 family games after dinner I can see the twins clearly want to go to her but can’t ditch everyone like faith did. Family games run until about 11 before everyone dispersed and went to bed. At about 12 I had a set of frantic knocks on the door. I unlock the door to answer but before I could open the door Colton and Destin push in through the door and barge into the house they walk around the house “is she here is she here Delilah” “Well hello to you too boof heads! Is who here why are you too here is the question” in unison they both answer “FAITH” Colton is more erratic than Destin pacing biting his nails. “She’s not i

I don’t know where I’m going to go I’m just running to put as much distance between myself and the pack. I need to stop for a minute to clear my head and work out an actual plan I’ve been gone now for about 2 hours so I should have put enough distance between myself and the pack. I’m so emotional I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders I shift back to my human form and find a hollowed out log to rest in if I put clothes on I would only have to take them off again and the plan is to rest for a few minutes make a plan of a attack and go from there. I have packed away some money but have little experience in the human towns where I plan to hid I don’t know how long my money will last in the human town but for now I need to think about food and shelter they are my main priorities. I could stay in a motel find a job and get an apartment in the long run I have enough money to last at least a month if I really skim down on the basics. It doesn’t take long for my intrusive thoughts to

When we get back to the motel. Chase cooks chicken stir fry as it turns out in am in fact clueless when it comes to cooking he put some in a takeaway container for me to have tomorrow night. His stir fry tastes amazing like a flavour explosion in my mouth and watching him it seems simple. “So how did you learn to cook?” Chase shrugs his shoulders “the pack cook taught me when I was little. I wanted to learn the basic life skills” “Nice. What other domestic duties can you do” “Other than being self reliant pretty much everything my fathers cold and distant being an only child I sought attention else where in the pack from a young age” “What happened to your mother” Chase visibly grimaces at my question he puts his fork down into his bowl seemingly annoyed now maybe a crossed a line I was just curious to know maybe he too has suffered a loss and that’s why his helping me in my hour of need. “I better get going my father will notice if I’m gone to long and nothing good comes from

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
Faith and the three fates. Chapter 84
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
