Alpha Renee's POV It was now late afternoon, but with everything that had happened I was feeling pretty tired and just wanted to relax after I had just finished my shower and slipped on some pjs when there was a knock on the door. Amber's familiar scent hit my nose and I quickly crossed the room to let her in. "Oh my gosh! I am so happy you are here!!" I squealed pulling her into a hug. "Alpha Ethan thought you might need some girl time." She said hugging me back "what's going on?"We walked into the room and sat down on the couch. I took a deep breath, and I arranged my thoughts. I went over the highlights of the conversation we had with Esther. Amber sat in silence until I finished speaking. She sucked in a deep breath. "Whew that's a lot to process." Was all she could say at first her eyes were wide, and she sat in silence for a few minutes. A knock on the door got my attention. "Alpha Renee the food Alpha Ethan ordered for you is at the door." Joe's voice came through a mind
Alpha Ethan's POV I woke up without my alarm around 7:00 am. I was so excited to help Renee train and see exactly how powerful she really is. This would be our first time sparring together and my first time seeing her wolf. I never got to see her wolf on our first run together since she took off so quickly. She was still asleep cuddled up to my chest and she was making the cutest little snoring noises. Her hair was a mess and she looked so beautiful wearing my T-Shirt one of her sexy legs laying on top of the covers. I knew Renee didn't really like mornings, so I decided to wake her up with some gentle kisses. She softly moaned as I pressed my lips to hers. Her lips started moving to mine and I knew she was waking up. I adjusted my body more on top of hers and started trailing kisses down her neck. Her eyes opened and her breathing became irregular from her arousal that I could already smell. "Good morning" I growled before licking and sucking on her mark. "Mm, good morning" her
Alpha Renee's POV I was shocked to see Ethan barreling towards me with no warning. I tried to mind link him but hit a wall. He was too close I didn't have time to dodge. This is going to hurt is all I could think as I leaned back and brought my hands up to try to soften the blow. I instinctively closed my eyes, but nothing happened. He should have hit me by now I popped open one of my eyes to see Ethan flying through the air and impacting a tree. I looked down at my hands in wonder still trying to figure out my gift. I didn't have long to think about it, Ethan had already recovered and was charging towards me again. He was so fast for something so large he was truly something to behold. I waited until the last second and dodged out of the way.He turned quickly coming at me again. When he was almost on me, I ducked low his front paws went past me so that I was under his wolf's belly. I stood up quickly throwing him to the side but in the process one of his claws grazed my back and s
Alpha Renee's POV "Alpha Renee speaking" I stated after picking up the office phone. "Yes, Renee this is Elder Chase, I called to inform you there was a rogue attack on Grey Lake." "How many causalities?" I responded "Luckily none, as of right now, but five are severely wounded, and a total of sixty three wounded in total." I slumped into the office chair and brought my gaze to meet Ethan's I knew he could hear our conversation and he walked around the desk and laid his hands on my shoulder comforting me. "Enemy causalities? Do you have any prisoners? Why did they attack?" I questioned. I was happy no one in Grey Lake died but sixty-five to be counted as wounded meant it was a hell of a fight. In order for wolves to require medical attention the condition has to be pretty severe, and you aren't healing fast enough for the number of injuries you are receiving. "No prisoners unfortunately, because." Elder Chase cleared his throat, and I could sense hesitation and something else i
Alpha Renee's POV I just got back to the pack house from talking with Amber. She still wasn't sure what she was going to do and wouldn't hardly talk to me. I felt so sad for her, and I wished I could make this all less painful for her. Finding your mate should always be a good thing and I hated that it meant so much change for her. I believed Timothy would be a good mate to her and that she would be happy at Grey Lake, but for that she would have to let go of the vision of what she thought her life would be.I made my way up to Timothy's room and knocked on the door. I heard some movement behind the door before the door popped open. Timothy looked tired, he had dark circles around his eyes and his eyes were bloodshot. His hair was a mess. "Alpha Renee" he nodded his head and seemed a little embarrassed by his appearance. "Sorry, I haven't been sleeping good." "It's ok I understand, Umm I have some important matters to discuss with you." Timothy stepped back raising an arm to invi
Alpha Renee's POV Esther handed me a knife so I could drop some blood into a bowl and Timothy did the same. Esther started chanting in a language that was foreign to me while she added different herbs to the bowl with our blood stirring it all together. To begin with I didn't feel anything, and she continued this process for a few minutes. Then she lit a match and dropped it into the bowl and the flames burned purple while Esther’s chanting swelled until it sounded like it filled the whole room and even echoed back.I started to feel like my skin was being tugged on and my mouth went dry. I saw Timothy arch his back next to me and his head tilted back. Esther's voice swelled even louder than I thought possible, it made me want to clamp my hands over my ears, but I couldn't move. I could see Ethan trying to remain in his seat next to me, his muscles were tense, and he looked incredibly uncomfortable his eyes glued to me. His strong jaw was held tight, and his handsome face had a frow
Renee's POV I can't even properly describe the look of happiness on Timothy's face when he opened the door to find Amber placing her suitcase in the car that was waiting to take him to Grey Lake Pack. She smiled sweetly at him taking in his appearance. I could still sense waves of unease from her, but I couldn't mistake how happy she was to see him happy. "You, you came?" Timothy almost whispered, excitement was evident in his voice, but it was almost like he was scared this wasn't real and only a dream."Yes" Amber squeaked out with her arms folded across her figure. She almost looked shy addressing Timothy. "I'm sorry I took so long" "That's ok as long as you are here now" He approached her slowly like if he moved to fast, she might disappear. They stood staring into each other's eyes for several minutes. I finally cleared my throat. Amber face snapped to mine, and she quickly closed the gap between us we wrapped our arms around one another in a tight hug. "I'm going to miss yo
Renee's POV Ethan snapped awake next to me. "What's wrong are you ok?" His voice was still laced with sleepiness, but his eyes were wide as they took in my disheveled appearance. "I'm, ok" I reached to place a hand on his thigh in hopes of calming him down. "What happened, why are you so sweaty? Are you sick?" "I'm not sure and no I feel fine." To be honest I didn't know what I just experienced. It was much more intense than any other vision I have ever had, and my gut told me it wasn't a dream either. "Can I just show you?" I wasn't sure how to explain the experience. "Of course," Ethan answered scooting closer to me. I could still see how concerned he was about me. I raised my hands to his temples to share my memory of what I just experienced. "I don't see anything" Ethan said opening his eyes to look at me. "Um ok, I will try again" I focused on the memory but once again nothing. "Nothing" Ethan's concern was growing his brows were furrowed studying me."Let me try a diffe
Epilogue Esther’s Point of ViewIt has been one year since the battle for Renee’s life. After what happened I couldn’t bring myself to leave Southern Illinois. So much has happened and so much has changed. I almost didn’t get to the wand in time, and I guess for Victor I didn’t. He would have made a great great great honestly I’m not sure how many greats grandfather to little Vickie but he sacrificed himself to save Alpha Ethan. When I removed immortality on Earth all the vampires returned to human and as far as I can tell I’m also aging again. Ethan and Renee opened the pack grounds to any once vampires that wished to stay and adjust to being human once again. Some staid while many others rushed back home as quickly as they could. Dimitri and myself decided to stay and I’m for the first time in my life truly happy. I have a little baby bump of my own now and I can’t express how excited I am to be a mother after all these years. Renee has blossomed in her roll as Luna and the pa
Renee’s Point of View The first wave was a horrible mess as the untrained vampires rushed forward their mouths practically unhinging as they tried to bite whatever they could. They were a chaotic mess, but thankfully we were prepared for just that, we fell back several paces to give the illusion that we were struggling. By the time it was over there were only minor injuries to report. The next wave however came rushing forward like a tidal wave. We had no sooner finished off the first wave before they were on us they were better trained and much more difficult to hold off. “Come on Esther, what is taking so long?” I questioned under my breath. We were trying to wait as long as possible before using the flood lights as it would inevitably kill many of the vampires and if Esther succeeded they would all be saved from that fate. Unfortunately we couldn’t wait any longer and Ethan had no choice but to issue the order. The screams that echoed will forever haunt my mind. As they evapor
Esther’s point of view Once I reached the location where I had hid the wand all those years ago, I was really wishing I hadn’t put a spell on it blocking it from magical recovery. There were mere minutes before the sun would set on Renee’s pack territory and I was looking at a research center sitting on top of the site where I hid the wand. I couldn’t believe my eyes out of all the places, here is where they placed their stupid huts. I knew the wand was still here I could sense it’s energy. I just had to figure out how to move the research pod that was sitting on top of it. “Damn it, I don’t have time for this I muttered under my breath” as I tried to think of the best course of action. I ran up to the window of the pod to take a peek. I could see at least three people inside. I decided things would be easier if they were unconscious so I cast a spell as watched as they all passed out. I ran back from the building a lifted my hands bringing the pod up a couple inches and scooting
Luna Renee’s Point of View As I stood waiting for whatever hell was about to be released I tried to run everything Dimitri had said about Vampire tactics through my mind. The vampires including my father couldn’t fight with us here with the uv flood lights that we had in store for the vampires, but they all did their best to prepare us and help us train. The Vampires on our side planned to circle around behind the lines to help us without being in our strong hold. Dimitri said they would send their least experienced soldiers first, it would test our strength and cause chaos. They instructed that it would be best to try to fight them off without revealing any of the traps we had set.They said we would be able to handle the first wave easily but to make it appear like it was hard giving a false sense of security to the next wave. This wave would be much better trained. This is where we could start using our traps and me to fight back. The hope was the second wave would rush forward th
*Esther’s POV I had been trudging through snow for over a day and a half now, I was frozen to the core and really wishing I picked out a warmer location to hide the wand of destiny. To make matters worse there was a snow storm blowing in and I had less than an hour to get the wand and cast a spell to remove immortality from Earth, before the Vampire would most likely be attacking Renee’s pack. Luckily the plane ride, boat ride, and dog sled ride here had given me plenty of time to work on the wording for the spell. I wanted to make sure there weren’t any loop holes. I only had 5 more miles to go but they wouldn’t be easy. I hid the wand in the most remote place in the world I could think of somewhere that no one should ever be able to find it. However that made getting there near impossible, if it wasn’t for having magic I never would have made it this far. To occupy my brain I just kept repeating the spell over and over in my head. “To the God above grant me this, remove immoral
Esther’s point of view“Can I talk to you a minute, alone?” Dimitri questioned looking at me. “Yes” I answered standing up to walk into the hall with him. When we reached the hallway and closed the door behind us Dimitri turned to me and asked “can we be overheard?” “No” I answered “Ok good, then let me ask what in the hell are you thinking, we are talking about Renee here, we are talking about the end of the world!” He yelled “and what your plan is to just sit by and watch it happen?” “You know I made a promise.” I answered “Sometimes promises have to be broken, and I would say this is definitely one of those times.” “I guess you are right.” I answered reluctantly. “How long will it take you to get to the wand?” Dimitri asked. “At the very least three days.” I answered “but even if I get the wand I’m not sure how to fix everything.” “What do you mean?” Dimitri questioned “can’t you just make it where the angels can’t possess Renee and her children.” “Well sure that will ta
Esther’s Point of View“Many, many years ago I was apart of a secret group called the Seven we were tasked with protecting valuable, powerful and dangerous artifacts. Such as the ark of the covenant to name one.” I sighed before taking a big breath “but ultimately we failed when a fallen angel tracked us and attacked us with the goal of taking over the world. His plan was to make two new species each modeled after his daughters personalities to be his army on earth, Using the power he gained from the artifacts especially one from Jesus’s lost years which is a powerful wand. I was afraid if their eyes widened anymore they would pop from their sockets as I told my tale. So this fallen Angel made his new species using other members of the Seven my family and from my family he created Vampires and Werewolves representing each of his half human daughter’s. But before he could use his new species to create and army I was able to recover the wand, using it myself to stop him. I basically
Esther’s point of view Silas didn’t have time to answer as I noticed Renee coming to in my arms.“Renee! Renee? Can you hear me?” Yes, why are you talking so loud.” She answered with an annoyed voice, bringing her fingers to her temples. “Oh thank goodness!” I said pulling her closer to me. “You mean thank Goddess don’t you, seeing as I’m part Goddess.” Renee rambled with her eyes still closed as she rubbed her temples. “What?” I questioned confused, truth serum doesn’t make you high. What was Renee talking about? “Yep I’m the daughter of the moon goddess, and she needs my baby to keep everyone safe.” Blood rushed to my head and I felt lightheaded, my past flashing in front of me as I realized what was actually at stake. “What is she talking about?” Silas questioned. “This can’t be possible” I mumbled under my breath, trying to piece everything together. Why would the “Moon Goddess” impart her DNA in Renee and why was Renee’s baby important to her plan. In that moment Ethan a
Esther’s point of viewWhen I saw Renee pass out I acted quickly and was able to catch her before her body crinkled onto the ground. A “No” echoed in the field around us and I scanned the area trying to find the source. “Who goes there?” I shouted scanning the area once more. I sent an alert in my head to Alpha Ethan not knowing if there was a threat or what has caused Renee to pass out. “It’s just me” a familiar voice filled the air and I turned to the source. I could see Silas stepping out from behind a tree. “Silas?” I questioned confused. I couldn’t help but notice he didn’t seem to have his mandatory escort with him. “I’m sorry Esther it wasn’t meant for her” he stated cautiously stepping forward. “What do you mean?” I questioned still confused, then I saw his eyes flash down to Renee “what have you done?” I questioned anger and fear coursing through my body. “The water was meant for you” he stated Once again I was confused until I looked down and saw the water I had given
