Lilith's POVStanding up I will the images away as I once again panic.Abyss said this was gift I hadn’t known of, that I hadn’t exercised it. Which means I can control it, I can escape it…But even so as I walk around in circles surely burning footprints in the ground whilst willing myself to wake in my human body, nothing happens as I want it to.Why am I here, trapped in this weird place that I haven’t a name for?What is the point in all this?As the panic seeps in once more so do images that are unwanted and frankly now more annoying than enlightening. ~~~Theseus is excited to see Lora, his smiles all for her as he dotes on her whilst walking through the yard and into the tree line again.I trail behind him, half watching him dote on my daughter and half wondering how the hell we will cope with three of her in the months to come.I had wanted a close relationship with her, to spend quality time and bond with her beyond what is expected of a parent.I wanted to give her everythi
Khai's POVTo say I'm glad I had a reason to leave the house is an understatement.I specifically need time to think, and process the fact that Lilith’s been under far longer than the doctors had wanted. Never had I thought we would be sat here with Lora craving her unresponsive mother whilst we hope the boys will survive… even if their mother does not.It isn't typical of wolves human parts become so I’ll that their wolf cannot heal them but then again I guess Lil’s not the typical wolf, only being part wolf… if you can even count her being the creators daughter as being a wolf at all. Maybe her genetics has something to play with how her fate is panning out or perhaps this is exactly what Celeste had not factored in when creating her daughter but shit, what will we do with her?I throw myself into running from pack house, through the trees and around the bushes as I stretch my legs before jumping into the air as Obsidian takes to stretching his own. We run over to the training gr
Hati's POVThe day passes gruellingly leaving me feeling wound and stressed but for once I have someone to go to relieve my problems on.And there Belle sits waiting for me at the window in my room, her hand on a book about baby’s and how to care for them. Her beautiful hair lays down her back and her bare legs call to something deep inside of me yet I stand here looking for the longest moment, refusing to disturb her as she reads quietly to herself.She’s taking my request to a new level and I’m appreciative of her tenacity. I want to move closer, to peer over her shoulder to read what she is reading. To see how she’s preparing herself for the possibility to care for the child that will one day overtake her by becoming her Luna. Because though she’s holding a place close to my heart she will never lead this pack, she will never step up to the level Aspen already holds. I haven't yet asked if she has any worries and I haven't reached out to her neither.I like the mystery surround
Lilith's POVThe time drags as Theseus bids me farewell, his parting words of wisdom giving me hope I can escape from here."You must let go of the past and concentrate on the present. Allow you body and mind to reconnect? Your soul is not with your body, my darling."Urg, I wish I were home, laying between Khai and Theo in the aftermath love making or movie watching. To be holding Lora close to my chest, to touch my swollen stomach and feel my boys moving.Their bodies could be the undoing I need to snap out of this place that Theseus regarded as the fourth realm. I feel as if I should be sleeping yet I cannot quieten my mind down enough to be able to fall into slumber, instead my mind is racing and as is my heart as I beg someone, anyone to let me go home.Silence meets me from every direction yet there's also a sense of contentment coming from deep within that seems to have me calm beyond belief. Is someone touching me, is that warmth j feel in my left hand?I bring it up to my
Theo's POV"The borders are clear," Leo reports in the open link between him, Khai, Lucas and myself despite me not having any care whether they are or not. He's roaming the pack land alongside Lucas as they complete the nightly checks. I hate putting Leo in danger like this, having him so close to the borders where he could be seen, leaving him vulnerable but I just don't have the energy to do the work myself.Besides things have been very quiet on the borders, no threats have been close and I believe for the time being we are safe.That doesn't mean I do not think of Tabby and their baby as I listen to the feedback from LeoI hate him out there, especially after all he's done for us and after all he and Tabitha have lost because of supporting us. And especially not now knowing he has Arlo who he must be around for for the years to come. So I dislike having him patrolling and the furthest out I will allow him is a mile inland from the actual border.He doesn't like it, feels utte
Hati's POV"Hati," Zeus greets me wirh a cigar in one hand and smirk on his lips as he sits in my office, a smile on his face as he waits for me to enter. Déjà vu enters my kind of a time not long ago when he had done the same. He cane unannounced then too, and I'm was not happy about that then just as I’m not now.He never has an invitation but I suppose I can ask for that update on whether he will be taking me up to the god realm."Zeus," I greet him in passing. Walking to the line jars of alcohol to pour myself some whisky which also strikes me is déjà vu.It's been a long day of ensuring the naughty children and locked under key and also releasing those who have done their time. That and I’ve been impatiently waiting for tonight to go down. It's a gruelling job but not one I'm willing to shy away from.I suppose that's because I truly love drinking in the children’s innocent emotions as I close that door and lock them into the darkness as I control their lives.The rush of bein
Theo's POV“Stay with the girls,” I demand shoving Khai and Lora into our bedroom as I prepare myself for the oncoming battle I can almost taste. That day where we were all sat around my desk after the first rehearsal of what we've planned of something we're to go wrong…Leo is the factor that only we will know about.He will be the dominator that swats things in our favour.And it's his job to ensure first and foremost Lilith, Lora and the twins are taken to safety followed by Tabitha and Arlo.As an alpha it will be expected that I rush to scene to defend not only my land but my people and our integrity amongst other things and we all agreed that it would be suss if I were to stay behind to ensure Lilith was not taken again.Besides, Leo has proved his ability to protect the people within this pack in the most loyal way possible and I won't disrespect him by pushing his aside whilst training the packs highest members for the future outcomes that may arise."So you see we need the e
Lilith's POVI'm completely and utterly lost, going back and forth in and out of memories as my emotions fray from every direction.And the more I lose control of my emotions, the worse the tumbling becomes. I gasp as I surface into another memory, stepping out into the pack house. It's that day that Theo and Khai had gone to visit Dane, the day they left and I was so nervous...I hadn't wanted them to leave earlier this morning but they claimed they had to, alpha business and all that.So here I am stuck with Tabitha in the house as the heavens have opened.We had hoped to take the kids out in the sun, to perhaps walk with them in their carriers until they fell asleep.But instead we are sitting at the kitchen table, words haven't flowed very easily and I feel as if there's a wedge between us that wasn't there before my latest heat."Thank you for caring for Lora back then," I say. Hoping this might trip her out of her quietness."No problem," she trails off. Her words unfinished,
