Hati's POVMovement, that's what I hear from one pack in particular.The original pack, the pack that I despise.I used to belong to that pack, I used to run it back in the day.I taught Celeste's people everything I knew about being a alpha, pack member and Wolf.They knew nothing of hierarchy, Wolf business and hunting. They knew nothing of how packs worked or the internal dialogue that transpires between us.They were clueless, if that word is an acceptable one to describe their idiocy.Anyway, we are travelling higher, making our way through the packs like a boat through water and apparently the Anachronistic Super Moon Pack will be refusing my entry.Now this is worrying, and I presume that perhaps that’s where I’ll find my Aspen.Which would be weird, considering I’ve been smelling her near my pack, near my base.I’ve just taken the last day to myself, ensuring that I have enough time to feed, to fuck and eat.So I chose my next victim, a small girl. She’s nothing special, her g
Theo’s POVEven with guidance, something to follow in regards to Lilith’s upset I still avoid going home.There’s something about upsetting her that doesn’t sit well with me.I think I never thought I’d be here, I never knew I had a mate out there.I had presumed that because of my heritage Celeste had chosen for me to be mateless.It isn’t unheard of, rare indeed but not unheard of.But now I know Celeste had given me a mate much later in life.A mate that she bestowed upon me to protect.Her own child.And now, having Lora myself, I understand her choice.She must have seen something within me, chosen me for some quality she had been looking for, for her child.What she saw and how she expected me to use it has not clicked yet but I know one thing.As a parent, she chose who she thought best.She gave a life to me that I never imagine running.Conflict, anger and angst being the prime emotions stuck to my life path.Lucas has long since left me to deal with my own problems. Telling
Celeste’s POVMy heart splinters as another wolf dies.It happens every time, the sorrow. The pain.And despite the fact of not knowing my wolf shifters personally I still mourn them as I would Theseus or Lilith.After the pain subsides enough to move from the gardens I were walking in. I head back to the house and upstairs to the pool of wolves to figure out who came back to me.It isn’t hard to see. After all I’ve had nothing to do but sit in this room waiting on making new pairs.Little Aref a young female wolf had come back to me.I sent her out only but a six or seven years ago.Her human counterpart being an alphas daughter.I wonder what happened. Was she ill?Did some thing u toward take her?Maybe she was running around, hit her head and had an untimely death.I supposed this is my downfall, not knowing just how my pairs die.But then again if I knew each and everyone I’m sure my heart would break even more.I pick up Aref, cradling her in my hand. The wolf is sad, much as yo
Lilith's POVThe distraction of making dinner seems to be the key of making me forget that I started this silent argument between Theo and I.Lora lays in her little basket crib on the counter whilst Khai and I work together to prepare the ingredients to make dinner.We laugh, cuddle and brush against one another.Khai cannot seem to keep his hands to himself and I'm all for it.It's precisely the distraction I needed.And that's how Theo finds us, Khai kissing me from behind. My head turned to the side for him to reach my lips.A smile is plastered on both of our lips as his scent alerts us to his presence."Finally, how long did it take you?" Khai asks Theo.He walks into the kitchen with a few bags in his hands that he places besides the crib before picking Lora up to cradling her close.I watch him smell her, a sense of ease washing over him as they bond through touch."I was ashamed," he notes.His eyes finding mine as he talks solely to me.His confession something I never knew
Hati’s POVMy search has me crossing the border into Canada. These packs are only under us through a mutual agreement.Their rules are their own, mostly.But ultimately they must work with us to ensure that our race abides by the procreation of time.Mating is something we honour, finding out fated and coming together seems to be the thing Celeste has always wanted for us and us as sheep followers we do just that.I understand, the bond being so potent that we cannot deny it.Not without pain and discomfort.That’s what I find at my next pack.They are all men, men that chose to ignore of kill their mates. I’ve never passed through such a depressing and dire pack.And though I should report them, I have no cares of their goings on.My main concern is to find Aspen and as quickly as possible because this aching in my chest is not something I’ve ever had to live with, nor do I want to live with it.But as we get closer to the very northern borders she is nowhere to be found. Something
Lilith's POVThe next day Theo calls a meeting between the three of us, Lucas, Andy and Dominic.I pace the office worriedly, cradling Lora to my body awaiting whatever he brought us in here for.And I don't have to wait long."The pack knew you were pregnant, it's useless trying to pretend Lora doesn't exist," Theo explains as we all look to him."They've never met her son, we could feign a loss," Dominic argues immediately. Having probably already thought somewhat on this.I must admit I hadn't, I had never factored in that we would come home here to Earth to hide our child.I suppose that Theseus challenging Zeus gave me hope that we were returning to normality but that wasn't what we came home to.It's a shame, but perhaps we were never meant to hide her.Protect her, yes but hide her away from the world, the pack?I'm starting to think it is cruel amongst other words to do.Our pack will start to feel betrayed, pushed aside with being kept out of the loop.This isn't how we are s
Theseus’s POVI don’t hang around Theo’s pack for once they settle in. I things I need to do and those things are talking Hati.He travels through the days and the night, moving through pack after pack searching. Smelling, imprinting any smell that smells new.He knows, I’m sure of it.It wouldn’t surprise me, he’s an old wolf and he isn’t an idiot.Of course he can smell her, though I’m convinced he’s realised she isn’t this far out, his desperation turning into annoyance.Her scent is an unusual one, citrus sweet with a tangy undertone that doesn’t particularly fit the bill for a shewolf. But then again aspen has never been a normal shewolf.From my understanding she was a rogue most of her natural life.Being born between two wolves that had no business being with one another because they had mates. I fed elite lives amongst most breeds, and species you see.Anyway her life was never accepted, her smell something abnormal back then.It was only found out at a later pairing of Cel
Khai's POVThe run out to the waterfall is over quickly, far to quickly.All three of us shifted into our wolves, our paws pu dung into the floor and nails ripping the ground as we run.It feels good to be free, the wind in Obsidians fur, the smell of the running water getting closer by the second.The surprise is less of a surprise than I think Lilith had hoped but I presume that’s because the pair of us, Theo and I, that is. Are starting to see visions we shouldn’t be.I confirm as much when we speak privately through mind-link.Lilith has already shifted and left us standing on the deck behind her.I had watched mesmerised as her white fur swayed as Abyss shook her fur out. The very tips a purple much like her eyes, but only as the light hit her fur in the right angle.Abyss doesn’t hesitate to jump into the water, swimming inside as if a wolf belonged inside the water and then she disappears behind the waterfall.My heart palpitates in panic even though I can hear that she’s fine.
