DavinaWe haven’t heard from Justin in days and I can feel my anxiety increase as the days go by. Dimitri assures us he knows Justin is alive but is very weak which doesn’t help my anxiety at all. Dimitri doesn’t know what would cause Justin to suddenly go weak unless they found out he was a spy. I worry about him, I hope they have not captured him and that there is another reason as to why Dimitri senses his weakness. There still has been no sign of Carole which annoys me. Derek said he can no longer feel her link to the pack meaning she must’ve decided to go rogue and leave the pack for good. Aspen assured us her family is not against us and was completely unaware of what Carole was doing. Tracey said her mother never believed in mixing species and had made Tracey’s younger brother reject his mate who was a feline. It broke his heart for him to do, so he took his own life. The feline then took her own life once she had heard he died. I can not fathom what mother would force her chi
Derek“Holy shit, are you sure she is not an alpha? She’s fucking huge,” says Ace in disbelief.“You scared Ace?”“Fuck you Derek, let’s kick her ass.” I can’t help but chuckle at him.Katerina’s wolf is a tawny color and she wasn’t kidding when she said she was huge. Normally only alphas are that big, but she is just as big as my wolf. However, my lycan still towers over her. She doesn’t waste time and lunges at me. I notice she is impatient, I’ll need to use that to my advantage. She’s never spared with someone outside her family so I know she will want to determine how strong she really is. I easily dodge her attack and grab her by the scruff of her neck and send her flying across the field. She snarls at me as she gets back up, charging for me. I pick her up again and throw her back across the field. This continues for a few minutes before Davina intervenes.“Okay Derek we get it. Your lycan is stronger. Shift and see if you can beat her in your wolf form,” says Davina.“I’d rath
AspenEager as ever to go riding. After her father’s sparing match finishes, she takes off full speed to the stables. I chase after her and beat her to the stables. She swears one day she’ll beat me but I doubt that’ll happen anytime soon, unless Maliyah uses her powers to slow me down.Maliyah is brushing Beauty down, while I brush Argo. I grab the blankets while Maliyah grabs her saddle, strapping it on Beauty. We lead the horses out of the stables and saddle up. We trot down the trail, listening to the wildlife and I can see the happiness on Maliyah’s face. She loves being out in nature and I understand that feeling. It’s calm and quiet. I hear a twig snap and I draw my bow, aiming at the brown wolf behind us. “Wait! It’s River,” says Maliyah as I lower my bow. “You realize I could’ve killed you River.” I shake my head at him as I put the arrow away.“He says he’s sorry. He just wanted go for a run and figured he’d join us on the trail,” Maliyah relays.“Fine by me. By the way, w
Aspen By the time I finally catch up to the horses I hear howling in the distance. It’s River and he’s alerting there is danger. I look at the horses reins and realize they had been cut. I’ve been so stupid, I should’ve never left her alone. “Aspen!” I hear Maliyah calling me, panic in her voice. I race back to the river as fast as I can. Once I arrive at the spot we were swimming at, I see River unconscious and a huge man with Maliyah on his shoulders. Next to him is that bitch Carole. She has a sly grin as I rush towards them but I am not fast enough. The man must’ve been a warlock since they disappear just as I was about to tackle him. I end up on the ground and slam my fist down. “Maliyah!” I rush to River’s side and check on him. I pull out a dart and see several more littered on the ground. Being a dragon, it must’ve taken more than they though to put Maliyah down. Damn it, I shouldn’t have left her. Several guards show up along with Davina and Derek. River’s parents also arr
MalayahJustin wasn’t kidding when he said he recovers quickly. He’s come back frequently to give me his strength and I can feel myself getting stronger each time he does. I have told him many times I don’t see the point of him healing me. I have no wolf to protect myself anymore, but he insists on continuing this so I’ll be ready to escape when my parents get here. I hope it’s soon.“Here Malayah, I snagged you some extra bread. You are owing to need your strength.”“Thank you Justin.”We hear yelling in the distance and it’s getting closer.“You need to go Justin. I don’t want them to catch you.” He takes my hand in his, again giving me his strength so I can get stronger. I give him a quick hug and push him to the door. I’ve tried several times to leave but I can tell it’s spelled so I can’t just like when I was grounded at home. Justin peaks his head out the door and takes off. I rush to sit on my bed as the voices get louder. I hear someone yelling orders and I jump when the doo
I sit up and feel my heart racing. I am dripping in sweat and my body is shaking uncontrollably. I feel someone squeezing my body. When I look at who it is I burst into tears. “Malayah?” “It’s me, it’s me.” I squeeze her back, both of us crying. It’s been so long and I can’t remember the last time we embraced. I release her and begin checking her over. “Are you okay?” My eyes land on the necklace and I freeze. “Why are you still wearing that?” “I can’t get it off. I’ve tried. You need to get out of here before they use me to hurt you.” “Why haven’t you used any of your powers?” “I can’t. I don’t know what they did but I can’t use them. They also killed Leila.” “I’m so sorry Malayah. Mom and dad are coming. Everything will be alright.” “I don’t believe that anymore.” She looks so tired and skinny. I can tell she hasn’t been eating or sleeping properly. “Get some sleep Malayah. I will watch over you. I will try and reach mom and dad.” Tears sting her eyes as she nods her head
Malayah “How do you know that?” She can’t possibly now where we are. She was unconscious when she arrived. “Terra is sure we had a premonition when we were asleep of the battle.” “What happened.” Tears sting her eyes and she shakes her head at me. It must not be good if she doesn’t want to tell me. I take her by the hand. “Please tell me.” “Auntie Keila dies, along with many others. Dad was preparing to attack Enzo who had you by the throat, ready to kill you. I don’t know what happens to you or to me. I didn’t see myself anywhere. I don’t think I get to see what happens to me. I also don’t know who wins the battle.” We are startled when the door opens again and Justin walks in. His eyes widen when he sees Maliyah. “You are not suppose to be here. Damn it. We need to get you out of here now.” “Who are you,” Maliyah asks. “I’m the warlock Justin. I’ve been helping your sister and communicating with Dimitri.” “They must know you or someone is working with him cause we are not
Maliyah I am a bit scared that I might have killed Enzo. i didn’t think I’d ever have to take a life. We both stand still, watching blood pool on the ground from his injuries. We wait to see if he stirs but nothing happens. I finally shift back since Malayah is no longer able to mind link. “Did I kill him?” “I am not sure,” Malayah stutters. Enzo is still in wolf form but he is not moving, my heart races as I hear snarling outside. The battle has already started. “We should go, I hear fighting outside.” I see Malayah trying to hear what I do but I know without her wolf she can’t. We both jump at the sound of an explosion and I see the ceiling is about to collapse. I shift and throw myself on top of Malayah to protect her from the debris and put a force field around us as we are buried under dirt. I look up and notice I have shifted, putting all my strength into the force field. Malayah is under me unconscious. I can clearly hear the battle as I try to shove the force field out
