Renee’s POVOne moment I was in the clearing with Ethan and the next I was laying on a forest floor. I felt woozy and nauseous as I tried to stand up. “Lay still” a musical comforting voice sounded near me. “I had to yank you from your world for just a moment”I rolled my head around to try to identify the source of the voice, then I saw her Selene the Moon Goddess she was still wearing a flowing white dress with a blue glow emitting from her. “I’m sorry, but I needed to speak with you.” She said gentlyI tried once more to get off the ground, only for her to lean down and gently hold me in place.“Don’t try to get up, it will only make it worse, I need to tell you something important.”I tried to answer her, but when I went to speak no words came out.“I just need you to listen, as I’m sure you know I am the daughter of Hyperion and Theia but what you might not realize is I also have a sister, Helios. Helios created vampires, she wanted to create creatures that would always be her
Alpha Ethan’s POVI felt completely helpless as I held Renee convulsing body in my arms. It was clear the doctor had no ideal what to do and Esther just stood at a distance studying Renee, and occasionally muttering to herself. Suddenly Renee’s Body became limp in my arms and a bit of blood began to trickle out her nose. “This is so odd” Esther said loud enough I could finally her something she was muttering. “Do you care to share!” I growled loudly at her. “I don’t think Renee is here.” Esther stated never taking her eyes off Renee.This witch is batty of course Renee is here I’m holding her “have you lost your damn mind! She is right here!”“Her body, yes, but not her soul.”Both me and the Doctor were looking at Esther now. “What in the hell are you talking about?”“I’m saying what makes Renee, Renee isn’t here.”“Then where is she?”“I don’t know” Ugh I have had enough of this, the anger was rising in my stomach and I began to stand up but as soon as I shifted my weight to
Alpha Ethan’s POVI flung the office door open so hard I am surprised it didn’t come off its hinges. “What is it?” my voice boomed, and Jonathan looked understandably uncomfortable. “Alpha Timothy and Amber never made it to the Grey Lake Pack, and no one has been able to reach them either.” Jonathan answeredI sunk into my office chair silently bringing my hand across my face as I couldn’t believe what I had just been told. “Do we have a last location?” I questioned“We know they checked into their hotel the night they left, but we aren’t sure what happened after that.”“What is Grey Lake doing?” “They have sent out some trackers, but with everything that is happening they don’t want to send out too many pack members, I have contacted the council and I am waiting to hear back.”“I want you to send a five-man group trackers and warriors, start at the hotel and find them.”“Yes, Alpha” Jonathan got up to leave and carry out my orders. “Tell them to watch their backs” “I will” with
Renee’s POVI was laying peacefully in a field with the sun beating down upon my face, I knew that I had worries but at least for the moment I could not grasp them. I took in a deep breath and could smell hints of honeysuckle dancing through the air. I closed my eyes and soaked in the warm rays, feeling every muscle in my body relax and in the next moment it was all shattered by a piercing voice calling my name it was so loud I felt it echo inside my mind. “Renee!” my eyes shot open, but no one was there. The sky above began to darken and storm clouds were rolling in. “Renee!” ahh I grasped the sides of my head from the pain of my name being called so loudly. Then the voice came again but this time it was taunting me “Renee, come out, come out, wherever you are!” I felt a shiver of fear roll up my back and in between my shoulders. I searched the area in front of me but to no avail. “Renee, I have a present for you, don’t you want to see your present?” the voice came from behind me
Renee’s POV“I feel fine Doctor, not to worry, where is Ethan?” “Alpha Ethan had some business to attend to off pack land and should return shorty.” Doctor Reagan answered. I was still reeling from what I had just experienced part of me wanted to believe it was just a dream, but in my heart and soul I knew it was not. I went to get out of the bed, I needed to speak with Esther as soon as possible. “Luna, what are doing?” the doctor questioned“I need to see Esther at once.” I answered “I will call her, please you need your rest.”“I have been asleep for hours doctor, I have had my rest, I need to see Esther.” I flung the doors open to the hall, surprised to find Klaus and Blake stationed outside, the pack warriors I met at the gate on my first day. “Good evening, Luna may we be of assistance?” Klaus asked while tilting his head obviously curious about what I was doing. “No need, I am just going to talk to Esther” “Allow us to escort you there” Blake answered“That’s really not ne
Alpha Ethan’s POVWe have been searching this city for hours, the trackers picking up a scent here and a scent there but with no discernable trail to be found. The weather had been fine up until now, but it was starting to drizzle and the more rain that fell the less likely it would be for us to find the trail. I looked at my watch to see that it was now nine thirty, I was anxious to get back to Renee. She still hasn’t woken up, but neither the doctor nor Esther thought there was anything to be done except wait. “Alpha, we got a trail, its strong!” a tracker’s voice echoed in my head.“Everyone on his position” within a few minutes we had all regrouped by the river where the tracker picked up the scent. “With this rain, there is no time to lose everyone in formation, and be on your toes” with this area being so populated it was best for us to stay in human form, it did make tracking harder, but it’s a lot easier to track without, people trying to shoot at the wolf or calling animal c
Renee’s POVIt was so hard to focus my thoughts right now, but I had to, this was the best option. I needed to visualize all the steps I needed to take, to make it real. I left Esther’s room feeling completely deflated, despite her best efforts there was nothing that could help. I only had one choice, I had to meet Elizabeth alone and find a way to save Amber’s life. Selene’s voice echoed in my head “You MUST protect yourself; all werewolves are relying on you. Do you understand?”I did understand, but this was Amber we were talking about here. I owed it to Amber I didn’t have choice, I had to save her. I decided to go back to my room to formulate a plan, Klaus and Blake followed me back to my room where the doctor was still waiting. Luckily Klaus and Blake stopped at the door and didn’t try to follow me inside. “Thank you for staying doctor, but I really feel fine, I believe a shower and a meal will be just the thing. I am sure you are needed more elsewhere.” Doctor Reagan looked
Alpha Ethan’s POVI placed my ear plugs and gave the signal, charges on both sides of the building went off simultaneously. We were separated into two teams and before the dust cleared, we entered from both sides sweeping the building, which appeared to be completely empty except for where Alpha Timothy was hanging by his hands from a chain in the middle of the building. His head was hanging limply forward, and I could clearly see what appeared to be silver barbed wire around both his hand and feet. His shirt was torn open on the back and his flesh was still healing from lash wounds, but I was beyond relieved to see his chest still moving, he was alive. Once my men assured me the building was indeed empty, I lowered my gun. “Get him down immediately.” There was a small table nearby that had some papers on it, so I went to have a look while my men got Alpha Timothy down. All the papers on the table were blank except one, it appeared to be a printed newspaper clip and on closer revie
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
