Jake POV.It has been four days since Kodiak went to sleep and she is still in wolf form. For the life of us, we couldn’t move her, so we left her in the living room of the pack house. Xena came a few hours after she fell asleep and told us what happened.Xena had been working her magic literally to rid Gaia of the bad magic, as Rosa called it from her. So far, all attempts have failed. The only comfort is that the pups are ok, but Kyron has refused to leave her side. He told us he will return to Nic only when his sister has woken up and she was back to normal. The question remains: how long will that take?Speaking of Nic, we paid him a visit and told him what had happened, and he was deeply remorseful. Xena explained that Nic was under the influence of not only a blood oath but dark magic by the witch called Carla. Who Kyron killed.Nic said he didn’t know what was happening, and he was being called to the whorehouse by a voice. Carla has put a spell on him on the battlefield and so
Leo POV.This has gone to shit fast. Kodiak is not Kodiak and Gaia is fucking missing. She would never have acted that way towards us, especially Rosa.Jake said Elysium, which is the realm of Selene. I’m sure if Gaia was there or is there, Selene would have told Fenrir. So that can’t be right.“I’m telling you, that is where she is. Rosa described the place to me. It is Elysium.” Jake says for the umpteenth time.“She is playing with the wolves.” Rosa mumbles, and Jake raises an eyebrow at me as he smiles like he isn’t crazy. I pinch the bridge of my nose.“Ok, fine. If she is there, then explain to me why Selene hasn’t informed us?” I say, looking towards the window.“That is because she is not there. She is not in my realm. I would know if she was.” We all turn to see Selene standing there with her hands on her hips.“Well, where is she? Rosa said she is in a garden, with a waterfall and a pool. She is playing with the wolves.” Jake says, becoming pissed off, just like all of us.“
Calista POV.The area is deserted, the place where this all started from. The place where Xena lost her people because her mate at the time Beta Thorn went crazy and slaughtered everyone during a full blood moon the same night Xena turned 18, Thorn consumed with bloodlust couldn’t be stopped the thing that stopped him was Xena rejecting him, he didn’t accept it until years later.Xena was a warrior, a fierce shield maiden, but also a seer. She led thousands of Vikings to their deaths to spite Fenrir for bringing Thorn to her village. She managed to save her infant sister, Alina, and kept herself hidden from the world. They were the only ones to survive that massacre. Alina is a white witch opposite to Xena’s dark magic. Xena taught Alina how to use her gifts and provided for them as they grew up.The sight still has the presence of lingering dark magic, and you can feel the sorrow that lingers within it. It is said the tears that Xena wept that night cursed the land and she placed a p
Gaia POV.Darkness, I am surrounded by it and it is not comforting like my darkness. No, this leaves me shivering. Not in fear for myself, but for my family and pups.I have tried calling out many times, and I have lost track of time and space. Nothing and no-one ever replies it’s like I’m stuck in a void. The only thing I have is a vision of myself in a garden, and I know it isn’t real.Nothing is as it seems right now. I can’t even feel Kodiak or anyone, for that matter. I just lay here in the darkness and wait to see what will happen.“Gaaaaaiiiiiiiia!” the voice that speaks is mocking. I don’t recognise it. I snarl as I try to see where is it coming from, but I can’t even see past my hand.“Who are you? What do you want with me?” I ask, my voice holding as much conviction as I can muster.The voice chuckles before it laughs, and I shiver.“Why little one, I want you. Finish what was started.” I think of what the voice is saying. Finish what was started.“Don’t you mean finish what
Gaia POV.We clash violently. The sword hitting an invisible force, throwing us both backwards. My claws dig into the earth to slow my momentum. She raises her hands in the air as she chants loudly.When large spear like swords strike the earth around me, I jump and roll out of the way of each one. Turning, I charge at her before leaping over her head, grabbing her by her hair and throwing her onto her back. I hear her bones crack under the force.Calling on my darkness, I blast her with it as she screams as it enters her chest. My darkness forms a fist as I grab her magic and pull on it, pulling it to me. She screams again as her back arches off the ground.She slams her hand on the ground, and the shockwave breaks my connection as I stagger backwards. She stands and I know this is not a fight I can win on my own; I need to drain her power. My pups are replenishing my power, but I won’t let them. It will kill them if they do.“WHY?” I scream at her when she laughs. I need to stall he
TRIGGER WARNING! PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!Gaia POV.I smile at my mother when she moves to the side and I see Kyron, Cosmo, and Atticus standing side by side. My brother, sister, and father.Another growl comes from behind me as I see Aura, Orion, and my cousin’s wolves step closer. They all form a circle around us. This is my family. My pack.The Venom Fang and Dark Moon.“Gaia, drop her.” I throw her at the feet of my mother. Their arrival gave me enough time to drain her power. Making her mortal. Chaos places a paw on Xena’s throat, pushing her into the ground.“You should know death comes for you now. No-one messes with what is mine!” my mother lunges at Xena as I step back as the others all circle around, growling, waiting for their turn to rip into the bitch. Wolves hunt and kill as a pack. That will never change.Xena’s screams turn to gurgles as she chokes on her blood. Her blood stains the grass red. I turn and grab the sword. A growl leaves me as I shift into my L
Gaia POV.It has been a week since the birth of Skoll and Sassa. Uncle Titus had us air lifted from Norway and once close enough, we landed and portalled to Dark Moon and into the pack hospital where we have been since.The pups are doing well, considering they had died. They are both small but are ok. I am fully healed, which is normal for she-wolves. However, I feel like a cow. I am breastfeeding and I know it’s not for everyone and that’s ok.If I don’t have both of them on me, I am pumping. The pain is unreal as my girls feel full, solid, and sore. I constantly have my breasts out. All dignity goes out the window when you give birth, anyway, and it’s not like my mates haven’t seen everything anyway.Speaking of my mates, they have been amazing. When I’m not feeding the pups, they are changing and bathing them. It has been hard being here, but I know it’s making sure they are both ok after what happened.We had to be moved to a bigger room to accommodate my mates because they refus
Leo POV.It has been a month now since the birth of our pups and they are doing so well; they have now been officially discharged from the care of the hospital and midwives. They are a lot bigger now and not just eat, sleep and poop. No, they have started to vocalise, smile and laugh.With them both being Alpha’s, they grow quicker and are stronger and faster than the average wolf. However, Gaia and Kodiak had gone into full protection mode with them. She even growled at us when we got close to them. She apologised and burst into tears.We know what happened had affected her greatly, and she blamed herself, even though it wasn’t her fault she was kidnapped from Kodiak and us to be begin with. She is going through post-partum depression and we have gotten her help. First, they said it was baby blues due to hormones, but we knew different and fought to get her seen.Kodiak had taken control a few times and wouldn’t let anyone in the room. And we had to sedate her to allow Gaia to take b
