Davina prepares to take the group of survivors back to the Palemetto pack with Derek. Maliyah and I are helping Amara and Ghalen ensure there are no other survivors. We are also helping with building a giant pyre to burn the bodies of those lost. Davina asked us to make sure we get everyone’s name to put up a memorial wall. I can’t believe how many lives were lost. Not even a quarter of the children survived.
“Ghalen, I have all our pack records and other important documents loaded into the Jeep. I also grabbed our family albums and family heirlooms,” says Amara as she hands a ring to Ghalen.
It appears to be a bone tribal ring. The ring appears to be mostly black with a pattern I am unfamiliar with. It must’ve belonged to their father as Ghalen slips it on, his gaze lingering on the ring.

Davina When Derek and I arrived back at the pride we were not prepared for what we saw. Rogues are on the ground dying a slow, painful death. I immediately know how but I am in disbelief that it’s actually happening. Maliyah should not be capable of this, not yet anyway. I look around, trying to find where my daughter is at and immediately rush to her side once I find her. “Maliyah, stop!” Maliyah blinks a few times at the sound of my voice. Once her eyes clear and she lays eyes on me, she faints. It was too much for her. Derek panics and checks her pulse. He relaxes once he confirms she has just fainted. “She’s fine Aspen. She just used too much of her powers.” “Uh, anyone want to tell us what the hell that was?” I look over at Ghalen and his warriors. They all seem confused and a bit frightened at what they just witnessed. I ignore his q

MaliyahI can’t believe it’s been a year since I woke up. I turn eleven in three days and little Aiden turns one. Mom insists we have a birthday party and I only agreed because of Aiden. I don’t really feel like celebrating. I got up extra early this morning to go riding alone. I know this will make everyone mad but I need some space. There is always someone following me so I left before everyone woke up but I at least alerted border patrol of my little solo ride.Aspen told me about Malayah’s spirit absorbing into mine, essentially making me stronger and the reason I was able to literally boil those rogue’s blood. That ability kind of scares me but I also feel stronger and safer knowing I can access it if need be. I worked with mom to control it and I am confident I won’t lose control again.As I ride along the trail I come across border patrol.“Hey boys,” I say through the mind link.“Your pa

MaliyahI grab the prettiest dahlia’s that the florist has and take them to the cemetery. I place a few in aunt Keila’s and uncle Owen’s vases before placing the rest in Malayah’s. I sit in my spot by the window in the mausoleum and take out my book I’ve been reading called The Way I Use To Be. I have been spending most afternoons here but I know it’ll end soon. My parents want me to go back to school after my birthday and I really don’t want to.“Hello?”I look up from my book and see a pretty blonde woman with blue eyes. She doesn’t smell like a shifter, she smells human.“My name is Dr. Stone. My mate is Kevin Stone.”“But you’re human.”She laughs before answering me.“Yes, I know it’s rare for humans to mate with your species.“What do you want?”“I was hoping&nb

Maliyah“You going to be okay with tomorrow,” asks Dr. Stone.“No. I was recovering from my coma on my tenth birthday so this is the first birthday I’ll be celebrating since her death.”“Being honest with yourself is a good step Maliyah. It’s okay to not be okay with celebrating your birthday.”“So what should I do?”“What do you want to do?”“I’d rather the birthday party focus on Aiden. It’s his first birthday and that’s a big deal. I don’t want the focus on me.”“They’ll be here in about fifteen minutes for their time with us. Do you want me to help you with telling them?”“I think I want to try on my own this time. But I’ll let you know if I need help.”These sessions with Dr. Stone have turned out pretty good. I didn’t think I needed to speak to anyone, o

Maliyah“Wanna sleep with me Ada?”She perks up and smiles. I am glad we got a toddler bed for my room. Accalia sometimes likes to sneak into my room. I open my bedroom door and freeze. That smell of lemongrass invades my nose and my body stiffens.“Maliyah what is wrong?”I slowly take a step into my room and turn on the light. I can feel my heart beating erratically in my chest as I look around my room. The scent is not that strong so I know he’s not here now but the fact that he was scares me. There is a single gift left on my bed and I just stare at it. Aspen walks over to it and inspects the package.“Uh, there is no name to say who it’s from. Maliyah, what has you so frightened.”“He was here,” I whisper.“Who?”“Alastor.”I’ll ne

DerekAfter Maliyah has calmed down we all leave her room and I do my best to not hit something. Nero is close to gaining control and it takes everything in me to keep him from losing his shit.“Derek, calm down.”“I am trying love, Nero and I hate seeing Maliyah so terrified.”“I do too but we need to be calm for her. She has enough anxiety without us adding to it. Also, I don’t want Nero scaring the younger kids.”I know she is right and does Nero.“Get it together Nero,” I tell Nero.“We have already failed her once, we cannot fail her again. We are the Alpha for crying out loud,” Nero growls.Davina holds me and whispers to me, calming Nero down. Davina has told us multiple times we are not failing as a father but

Maliyah I can’t believe after everything that happened on my birthday, I am being forced to go back to school today. I really don’t want to. I’d rather train and prepare or the next attack. My parents and Aspen insist that I do. Something about getting back into my old routine and seeing my friends again. I have been awake for a few hours but I still groan when I hear a knock at my door. “Maliyah, it’s time to get up and get ready,” says mom. “I’m up,” I grumble. Mom sighs before turning on my light and shutting my door. I huff as I throw the blankets off of me and head to my bathroom. I let the hot water cascade down my back, staying in the shower until the water starts to get cold. I straighten my hair and throw on some basic jeans and a tee shirt before heading downstairs. My stomach rumbles at the smell of french toast on the stove. I toss my backpack by the front door before heading to the

MaliyahI know for a fact that Britney has been training to become a warrior in the pack. She’s a great fighter, I’ll give her that, but she is suppose to use her skills to protect her pack and those weaker than her, not beat the living hell out of them. Her behavior brings shame down on my father. The young wolf is obviously not a fighter. He’s doing his best to block Britney’s attacks but has not been able to throw one punch. Britney throws a punch straight at his nose. I can hear the bone crunch as her knuckles connect, breaking it. Blood gushes everywhere. The young wolf falls to the ground and she prepares to kick him while he’s down but before her foot connects with his head, I have a vine wrapped around her ankle and yank her to the ground.“What the hell Maliyah? Let me go!”“I would expect someone who wants to be a future warrior of this pack would treat her fellow pack mates with more respect,” I re

Maliyah“Maliyah, the guests are arriving!”“Coming mom!”I quickly finish doing my hair in a half up pony tail style and curl it before doing my make up. I can’t believe it’s been almost five years since the war ended and here we are, celebrating my sixteenth birthday. I stop by my nightstand with my sister’s picture and use my powers to make the flowers in the vase bloom again.“Happy birthday sis,” I whisper as I head for the door.I throw on my Ariat boots, hoping towards the door as I put on one at a time. I almost collide with my door trying to put on my last boot as I grab the handle to open the door only to end up running into Aspen. I nearly fall backwards onto the floor, but Aspen reaches out and catches my arm to steady me.

DavinaI wake with a start that it startles Derek. Sweat is dripping down my face as Derek gently cups my face.“What’s wrong love,” he says looking around the room for an intruder.“I got to say goodbye to Malayah,” I whisper. He looks at me confused.“Okay, but what has you so scared?”I turn to Derek, making sure he is listening carefully. Worry is evident on his face as I take deep breaths to calm my racing heart. I need someone else to know what she told me.“Malayah said, ‘Beware of the new comer, darkness will come for her’.”“What does that even mean?”“I don’t know. I don’t even know exactly who she was talking about, but I think it’s Maliyah. I think she was talking about Maliyah and whoever Maliyah saw in t

DavinaThe twins have fallen asleep, Thierry on Derek, Accalia on Calista and Aiden in my arms. Everyone begins going home and we had back into the pack house. We lay the kids down for bed as does Mark and Daniela. It’s nice to see the children together, safe and sound and back to what was once normal. Things may not go back to what they were but we can find a new normal for our family.The last thing I do is prepare a room for my mother with the help of Kat and Daniela. We put her next to Calista as they seem to have hit it off and have become fast friends. I am over the moon that I get to have this opportunity to get to know my mother and learn more about my family. There is so much I don’t know.With mom back in the picture, it seems to have changed things for Kat. Now that Kat has been spending time with our mother and her granddaughter

DavinaWhen we all heard Derek and Maliyah playing I immediately mind link the whole pack to meet at the memorial. Our family gathered at it’s entrance, tears forming in our eyes. I haven’t heard her play in a long time. As pack members began arriving I open the back doors so they can hear too and started passing out candles and lighting them. Once everyone has a candle, I teleport Maliyah and Derek next to the memorial and they don’t miss a note. Families begin stepping up to the memorial and placing beautiful flower arrangements at the base.Dimitri utters a spell under his breath and tells me the flowers will never die, they will remain frozen in time. Celestia and Calista help pass out the Chinese sky lanterns and pens so everyone can write a message or just the name of a loved one that has been lost. I make one for my uncle Gabriel and parents that raised me as they now have no one le

MaliyahI can’t believe what I woke up to. Dr. Smith has been examining me and taking MRI’s of my brain. I am still in shock at everything I am being told. Mom and dad tell me everything I appear to be forgetting. We take several breaks as I am constantly crying over things I have forgotten.I remember some of the information they are telling me but not all of it. After a while I did start to remember the day my sister died but it still doesn’t feel real. I don’t remember being in a coma before and waking up to having another little brother. Uncle Kale died as well as uncle Gabriel and I haven’t been able to accept that yet.Uncle Gabriel has been around all my life, even before I learned what I was. I never imagined I would have to live my life without him.“Ma

DavinaWe’ve been in the dragon realm for the past week; going back and forth to the forbidden realm to explore it more. We want to ensure we had all he details, which Dimitri has written down so we won’t ever forget this day we now call The Day of Retaliation. It’ll always be a day we will mourn as many loved ones were lost that day, but we fought back against my brother and won. I wish there would’ve been another way, but my brother was too far gone. Once we were sure we didn’t miss anything, Dimitri and his coven sealed the realm away forever. The shifter counsel all agreed that it will be against our laws to step foot into that realm so it was best to seal it away to stop temptation.The horse shifters have been learning about the human world as it has changed a lot than from what their ancestors had told them.

DavinaIt’s finally over. It’s been six years since Derek came into my life and my world was turned upside down. Six years after finding out I was not at all human. My heart mourns for those that I have lost in all that time. The parents that raised me, my uncle Gabriel, Thierry who was like a second uncle to me and my biological parents though I didn’t even know it yet.My heart hurts for my sister. She has been an empty shell since we killed Alastor. She remains at Kale’s side though his soul is no longer attached to his body. He’s gone and there is nothing I can really do to comfort her.“Mom, let’s get you something to eat and drink. Please,” begs River but Kat doesn’t respond.She continues to stare at his body and grasp his hand. I think

Davina The minute Maliyah became unconscious her swirl of power dissipated. I drop the sphere of wind and see the zombie creatures are dropping one by one. I rush to Maliyah’s side in a panic with Kat right at my heals. “Maliyah!” Her head is bleeding badly and she is not responding at all. I quickly teleport her to Dr. Smith. “What happened,” asks Dr. Smith. “She hit her head on a rock and I am afraid she used more power than she can handle.” Kat pulls me away from Maliyah to give Dr. Smith room to work and I reluctantly back away. “Davina!” I look up and see Mark and Derek running into the tent. I can feel he is just as scared as I am right now. “Thank Ryuu you are okay. What happened to Maliyah?”

Davina “Maliyah we need you,” I yell through the mind link. Kat and I are trying to finish this once and for all but we both know we won’t win without Maliyah. Alastor creates a sphere of wind around him, pushing Kat and I off of him. I quickly search the field for Maliyah and instantly see what she is doing. Her vision of Derek and Mark dying, it’s happening. “We need Maliyah,” says Kat through the link. “She is needed else where right now. We need to keep him distracted long enough for her to accomplish what is needed and return to us,” I reply. Kat doesn’t question what I mean. We trust each other completely and I know we can hold him off until Maliyah comes back. “You two are a thorn in my side. It’s time for me to be an only child,” growls out Alastor. I know we a
