Azura could see her mother’s face clearly and she was so beautiful. Her hair and skin were just like hers, blonde and ivory. She had big green eyes and was covered in light freckles. She remembered the night they watched Nyx’s Shower from the rooftop. Looking from her mother’s beautiful smile to her father’s laughing expressions. He was ruggedly handsome, his beard long and bushy, his eyes were cerulean blue and his hair a deep black. They kept laughing and pointing at the sky. Then her mind brought her to the last time she saw her mother. She was standing alone in the woods
When Azura woke, it was morning. The smell of bacon trailed into her room and her stomach rumbled with hunger. She washed up and went downstairs. She was about to enter the dining room when a different scent danced under her nose. It was the smell of mint that she had grown unable to live without. She deviated from her mission and followed the smell of mint out onto the patio where Ty stood looking out to the lake, hands on his hips. He was so deep in thought that he did not hear Azura come out behind him. “Ty?” she called to him, her voice penetrated his ears. He turned around quickly
“Enough!” Ty spoke and his voice shook the ground. Azura immediately became submissive to him and walked to his side with her head down. Kiara flipped right side up keeping her head to the ground. Ty turned to his mother who quickly explained what happened. Ty’s rage was building, “Kiara! You dare disobey your Alpha?” he took a step forward to the now whimpering she-wolf on the ground, when her parents threw themselves on top of her. “We will deal with her Alpha Ty, I promise you we will,” they pleaded, but Ty was not convinced. “Ty, I think it’s best to let them,” Regina spoke, pulling his arm a little, clearly worried for her friend’s sake. Kia
The council meetings were held in a building on the courtyard’s westside. It was a building they only used for meetings, but could be used by anyone for that purpose. Kiara’s parents were part of the council, along with Ty, Regina, Jay, Derek, Eleanor, and a few other seasoned members of the pack. The curtains were drawn on nearly all the windows, except for one in which part of the curtain’s end had been torn off. Kiara squatted at this window and peered inside. “Who calls this meeting?” Ty’s voice brought silence to the room and Kiara shuttered at the chill it brought down her spine. Ty could reject her a thousand times and she would still grovel at his fee
“Ahhh!” Kiara screamed and sobbed, “Please, I have told you everything I know. Ahhh.” Kiara was tied by her wrists hanging from the ceiling. A scrawny dirty man with yellow eyes heated a branding iron and placed it against Kiara’s back, among the hundred others already there. Leus sat in the shadows on a chair, his eyes flashed silver. He signaled for the scrawny man to stop. He stood and walked towards Kiara. She did not break her gaze on him. He finally stepped into the light and Kiara gasped in horror. He was an older man with short brown hair and golden ends.
Ty found himself on the patio overlooking the lake, deep in thought. Hand over the girl or your pack will be destroyed. The words echoed in his mind. There’s no way I would ever give her to him. I would die first. I need to find a way to protect her and the pack. Ty felt a soft hand on his shoulder and his body began to relax. He turned around to see Azura’s beautiful big eyes staring into his. She knew he was worried about something, she could sense his aura. “What&
Just as she said, she snuck into the house and went straight to Regina’s office. She could still smell the herbs and spices Eleanor had used the other day. What would she need an oracle for? She started going through Regina’s papers that lay on top of her desk. Not finding what she sought, she went through her drawers. When she opened the second one, she was overwhelmed by the smell of her daughter. She searched through papers and at the very bottom she found one doused in blood. Her hands began to tremble as she pulled it out, she could smell that this was her daughter’s blood.
Azura had always been extremely good at sneaking around undetected. She was able to make it over the wall without any of the guards noticing. She didn’t know where Leus’s pack was, but she was a great tracker and it didn’t take her long to find the trail his scouts left behind. She had taken the equipment that her and Regina used to train in a bag strapped across her shoulder. Her hair was held back in one big braid down the center. She wore her black pants that had a few rips on the thighs and a long-sleeve green plaid button-up shirt. Her black boots were strapped up to her shins. She had found a new dagger to hide in her boot and adjusted it s
Azura had tracked for quite some time until she picked up the scent of smoke. She noticed that the forest looked more diseased as she continued on. There were no green bushes or shrubbery or flowers and the trees were bare. They either had dead leaves or lacked leaves at all. It seemed like everything was dying. She could tell she was getting close. She knew there would be scouts in the area and probably guards, the way they had them at Silver Moon with regular patrols. She decided to get an aerial view and climbed up a large hollow tree. It was effortless because she could prod her fingers or poke her foot into it’s frail body to climb up
