Ora’s POV

I’ve been training with my Aunt Jo since I was a kid. But training to fight and actually fighting are completely different. There are no do-overs.

Granted, Millicent’s army is here to kill us. But I have never taken a life, and I am struggling with that concept. “It’s them or us, Ora,” my aunt yells at me when she sees me hesitate. I saw my aunt unmercifully kill one creature after another.

“Yes, Aunt Jo,” I said, as I used my sword to kill the creature with sharp teeth. I am covered in blood and want nothing more than to wash it off me. But that was one of hundreds.

One of the mud creatures charged at me with a raised club. It’s just like the one from the church earlier today. I stab it with my sword, but it doesn’t react. It simply grunts, looking at the hilt of my sword as it sticks out of its chest. Using the distraction, I picked up an axe from the ground and threw it, just like I was taught. It hits it in the chest. But again, the creature didn’t seem to react t

    Ora’s POV While we were preparing for the battle earlier. Fire prevention measures included strategically placing buckets of water around the academy walls. As the anger builds within me. As my blood boils. I can feel my connection to the water. It is trying to reach me to calm me. But I don’t want to be calm. Considering how I feel at this moment. It’s time for me to take advantage of this power. “Millicent is going down.” I barked. I clenched my fists and ground my gritted teeth as I walked towards the evil duo. They have robbed me of everything. In my eyes, they are the evilest of creatures on the planet. Millicent and Marco deserve death, and I am prepared to give it to them. While getting closer to them. I accessed my inner strength and unleashed my emotions to bring water closer to me. Mud creatures rushed towards me, which annoyed the crap out of me. “Millicent wants me alive. Now get out of my way” I screamed as I instinctively used my hands to throw streams of water

    Wolf King Nathan’s POV My boys are stepping up their royal duties, and I am proud of the positive changes they are making. They have the support of one another to make things work. For a short while, I am going to let them fly solo and catch up on a few outstanding duties I have neglected. My visit to Alpha Academy is overdue. Jasper wanted to come, but someone had to support the boys. As it was a last-minute decision, and it would only be for the day. I decided one bodyguard was enough. It’s not like I need protection, anyway. I am the most powerful wolf in the kingdom. I will be safe while I am there, anyway. It’s Alpha Academy after all. As I am driven past the enormous gates, I remember my first day here. My future was all mapped out. Attending the academy was to be an eye-opening experience for me. I remember being nervous. Not of being separated from my family and friends. No, I was nervous that I wouldn’t know how to socialize with the other Alpha’s. The only frien

    Wolf King Nathan’s POV My teeth ground as my grip tightened on the steering wheel. “Get there,” I instructed Jasper unnecessarily. Before, I passed through a tunnel and lost the signal. I suspect they are all on route already. My priority now is getting to Beta Academy as fast as I can. “If anything has harmed a hair on Maria’s head, I’ll go on a rampage like no one has ever seen,” I say out loud, not to anyone in particular. But to anyone listening. “Let me run,” Kyle demanded. “You’re too big and you’ll be seen,” I told him. He rants on and on about what he plans to do to anyone causing trouble at Beta Academy, regardless of whether Maria is there. I am already seeing red, but with him ranting in my head, I have to block him out. Whenever I glance at the clock on the dashboard, it appears to be frozen. Then, in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. Hours have passed since Sinker got that phone call from Andrew’s, and my anxiety is increasing. I kept thinking, what if

    Shannen’s POV Jo told me she had a medical bag stashed away in the kitchen. Should Ora ever need emergency treatment? She gave me all the instruction leaflets for everything and told me to read them. When I asked her why, I needed to know about this sort of stuff. She told me that Ora is human and may need treatment at any point. She felt more than one person should know how to give her medical attention. I threw myself into learning how to use all the supplies and equipment, just in case. That information is proving essential now. I lived in the palace for a short while before I left for Beta Academy. Nathan was always a pleasant man to be around. I often felt that when I saw him, he was in family mode. But right now, he’s in Wolf King mode and not someone to be trifled with. “What the hell is going on here, and who the hell is Ora?” he shouts. I felt intimidated and scared. His aura was overwhelming. “Would Matty not be the best person to answer your questions?” I said, lowe

    Shannen’s POV Before I go to check on Ora. Carron encourages me to get a drink and maybe a bite to eat. She’s right, I forgot when I ate last. I headed to the kitchen for a much-needed energy boost. I ignored everyone along the way. I need to get there and back as quickly as I can. I told myself. I don’t even know why. Jo and Ora’s medical treatment is not my responsibility. But it feels as if it is. I headed directly to the serving hatch, asking for a glass of cold water and whatever they had ready at that point. I stood to the side as I waited. As I did, I looked around to see a few faces that didn’t belong here. “Hey, I know you. You’re from Alpha Academy,” I said to a couple of boys sitting at a table. “I watched you fight. You were good. But we were better.” The boys laughed and introduced themselves. “Yeah, you must have a better trainer than us. But overall we won,” Harrison says, mocking me. I sat down next to them and thanked them for coming to our aid. “At the end of

    Ora’s POV I opened my eyes to a girl staring at me. She is a bit older than me. She was tanned with silver hair. Her appearance was quite unusual. I could tell she was excited to see me. “I wasn’t expecting to see you this soon, Aurora.” She says When I try to see beyond her, everything becomes fuzzy. “Where are we I?” I ask. She looks around herself and snickers. “We’re sort of in the dream realm, Aurora.” “Ora,” I correct her. She smiles at me. “Ora, I’m Ellie. A hybrid, very similar to yourself.” I looked at her cautiously. “If I’m dreaming, you’re a figment of my imagination. Right?” She gave me a half smile and looked to her left. “Ora, we have a common enemy and, according to a friend, you can help me stop her,” Ellie turned her head toward me. “Ora, please help me stop Millicent.” “What I need to do is wait for my birthday, and get full access to my power. Track her down and kill her.” Ellie’s smile disappears. “Ora, you will get yourself killed if you go

    Jasper’s POV Nathan has done nothing but ignore me for a while. He has been holding Jo’s hand, reminding her of all the things she has to live for. Carson had to leave because his aura was too much. “She didn’t want you to know she was back. She worried you would tell Sarah. Then Sarah would know Jo hadn’t followed her orders.” I told him, trying to justify why I hadn’t told him of her return. Nathan growled at me. “Stay mad all you like. I respected her wishes. If the roles were reversed. You would have done the same and we both know it.” He looked at Jo, then at me. “I would have. I’m not mad at you about that. I’m mad at you for knowing there has been a princess hiding in my kingdom for how long, and I didn’t know. Do you know how incompetent that makes me look? What if she died in my country? That could mean war.” I should stand there and defend myself. He is right. “As for my mate, I will deal with her when I see her.” He practically spits out the word mate. I would hate

    Ellie’s POV “Who are you?” Ora asked me. It’s a reasonable question. All she knows is that I invaded her mind while she wasn’t awake. It’s difficult to talk about my past. But if it helps my cause, I have to do it. “Once upon a lifetime. I, Eleanor Walker, was the eldest child of Wolf King Angarr and Witch Queen Iduna. A princess by birth and the heir to the Scandinavian kingdom.” I bite my bottom lip when I mention my parent’s names. I miss them so much. “Usually, witches don’t show any signs of power until they approach their 18th birthday. An elemental gift can appear at any point after a witch turns seventeen. I’ve had my elemental power from birth. Which was why my parents hid me away.” I waved my hand above a glass of water that was sitting on the table. I watched Ora’s face as it turned into a block of ice. She looks at me and her jaw drops. “It was just my sister, Anabelle, growing up. Best of friends. But because of me, we were isolated. I felt so guilty, bu

    Evangeline’s POV Nathan has been exceptionally accommodating ever since we settled into his home and kingdom. Edgar spends quite a lot of time with him and Jasper. It’s good to see Edgar finally relaxing after all these years. I think abdicating may have been a wise decision. I get to spend time with Ora and Shannen a lot these days. Maria’s mates have been treating her like she is breakable, which is driving her potty. As the date of Maria’s scan approaches. Nathan has been becoming more and more agitated. Edgar and Jasper have been helping him relieve some of that aggression in the training field. But I can see the emotional toll it is taking on him. I talked to Asher, Dexter, and Finley, asking for permission to speak with Maira privately. At first, they said no, “Whatever Maria is going through, she has us to support her,” Finley told me. “This is a difficult time for any family. I understand that. Maria may have relied on her mother for guidance, but she isn’t here. I am no

    Benson’s POV “It will be okay,” I told Rhea as we drove to the Dark Crescent Pack. Ora and Rhea are sitting in the back seat and I can see how restless she is. “I know, but I still feel nervous about returning home,” she says. Rhea hasn’t been home since the hunters took her. We are both concerned mom will have a heart attack if she just turns up. So we both agreed to break the news to her gently. Which is why the back windows of the car are tinted. Edgar and Evangeline have given us a head start. But they are on their way to meet their in-laws. “No matter how you are feeling. Can you imagine what mom is going to be like?” I said as I approached the border’s gates. I lower the window and am greeted by a guard. He ushers me through without hesitation, telling me he has informed my dad about my arrival. I drive slowly through the pack so that Ora can see where I grew up. “It’s so quaint,” she says. “The people are so nice here. It was a great place to grow up.” Rhea tells her

    Ora’s POV After leaving Scotland, we traveled south. To a place I once called home. I had so many mixed feelings on the journey. I had lived there in that farmhouse for as long as I can remember. I have so many memories there. What stands out in my memory now, is that this is the place where Aunt Jayne and Aunt Josie lost their lives. As we pulled down the long drive, there was nothing in sight. No buildings, no equipment. Nothing but grass. “Everything is gone,” I said sadly as I got out of the car and walked around. “There is a chance Millicent burned the place to the ground to cover her tracks,” Mom told me. “You will always have your memories of this place before the attack,” Benson says. “Do you remember the time I hid in the barn?” I smile, but that’s all it is now, a memory. “Feels like a lifetime ago,” I said as he kissed my hand. “Did you do anything off the farm? Maybe that will cheer you up,” Dad asked me. “I had a pretty strict upbringing. Going out

    Evangeline’s POV Our alarm went off just as Edgar and I were still busy. We grinned at one another. “It’s been a while since we had a night like that,” he announced proudly. “Hopefully, we get to do it again. Now that life is as it should be,” I responded. There have been instances in the past where I felt guilty for my happiness while my child was out there somewhere. But that is behind me now. As we entered the dining room, I was surprised to see Ora and Benson sitting there. Ora’s hair was tied up, showing off Benson’s mark on her neck. “I guess we had better get used to having a son and a daughter,” I told Edgar before we sat opposite the couple. Coffee is brought to our table. “Have you given any thoughts about your future?” Edgar asks Ora. She stops eating and questions him about what she means. “You are our daughter. By birth, you are the heir to the throne. A princess.” Ora places her knife and fork down before she looks at Benson. “I would follow you anywhere,” Ben

    Evangeline’s POV It’s a hard pill to swallow. The baby I once cradled in my arms is now a woman. I have missed so much. I fear I will never truly get to know my daughter now that her mate bond has snapped into place. As I maneuver around the room, I see so many new friends. But the person I am keeping my eye on the most is Edgar. He is in overprotective dad mode. Every time Benson and Ora go to leave the room, he is there, blocking their path. The next time he does it, I will say something. I tell myself, knowing it won’t be long. But first, there is someone I need to speak to. I glanced around the room, easily spotting her vibrant red hair. She sees me approaching and straightens up. “Be in my lab in an hour. Bring your arrowhead. All being well, we will leave tomorrow.” I told her quickly as I could see Edgar moving again. “See if Kristopher can help,” I said as I rushed away. “Where are you two off to?” I caught Edgar asking the couple as he stood in front of them with h

    Jo’s POV “Haven’t you slept for long enough?” Jupiter asks. It’s good to hear her voice even if she is complaining. “A few more minutes,” I pleaded as I stretched my limbs, hitting someone in the process. My eyes flew open, fearing who it could be. I turned my head to the side to see a face I had not seen in a very long time. “Gosh, you’ve aged badly,” I told Nathan as I rolled on my side and stroked his face. “I’ve aged fine. Thank you very much, Joanna. It’s the trouble you’ve brought to my doorstep that’s aged me. I think I’ve aged a decade since finding out you were here.” He retorts. “Are you saying I shouldn’t have come back when I had nowhere else to go?” He pulls me close to him. “You should never have left. You owe me an explanation.” He says adamantly. Seeing the pain on his face makes me think I may have made a bad decision back then. But I made it based on Nathan having a life full of happiness with his mate. I made the hard sacrifice, so he didn’t have to. I love him

    Wolf King Nathan’s POV Ajax has been inconsolable since our mate bond was severed. He decided our best chance right now was to be in human form. Being in human form would mean we had a clearer head, as the mate bond was connected through the wolf. Then he could be blocked out. I stood side by side next to my son’s wolves. Face a group of creatures set on destroying us. Every wolf around me stood strong, growling as our enemies got closer. Then, when they were close enough to smell them, we charged forward. Cooper, Colt, and Cody blocked my path. I tried to get involved, but this only distracted them. I begrudgingly took a step back for their safety. It left a bitter taste in my mouth. The howling intensified with the arrival of more wolves to the fight. I don’t know who they are, but I am grateful they are here. To make myself useful, I approach the ice wall, intending to break through it. That will be the next task we face. “It’s solid,” I say as I kick it in frustration. I cou

    Merida’s POV With everything going on here and worrying about my Ma back home. I needed to blow off some steam. With my new bow and a couple of quills, I went for some target practice. I know it’s old, a lot older than I am. But this bow feels like it was custom-made for me. It’s the perfect height and weight for me. The wood is sturdy but also bendable, and the string fires my arrows faster than any other material I’ve used. It is a work of art. When Rhea suggested lighting my arrows, I couldn’t believe it. “Best day ever,” I whispered, causing her to snicker. “Wolf hearing,” she responded. I was having a great time until Frederick had to spoil my fun by telling me not to waste my arrows and sending Rhea to be with her brother. Benson is alright, but I still haven’t forgiven him or Ellie for what they did to me. Just as I was aiming to shoot an arrow at a tree, the wall of Beta Academy exploded. While dodging the flying debris, I got hit on the head. A flying piece of debris. Th

    Anabelle’s POV Frederick said I would die protecting someone important, and he was right. I protected an unconscious woman and her unborn baby. How important they are doesn’t matter, they are defenseless. The pain in my chest was excruciating, and I had trouble taking breaths. I struggled to keep my eyelids open as I tried to breathe. When they closed, happy memories of my family appeared, the things that brought me the most joy. I could hear Maria’s reassuring voice telling me help was coming. The more time I spent with my eyes closed, the more my memories lengthened. That’s when I saw memories of Ellie and me running around the castle growing up. Getting into all sorts of mischief. I began to cry at the thought of leaving Ellie. She would be all alone in this world without me. But there was nothing I could do. My chest hurt so much. Ellie was my last thought as everything became dark. I felt so cold. As the darkness consumed me. Kristopher suddenly appeared out of nowhere. A br
