Esme I fall into a peaceful sleep for the first time since being here it’s been a lovely get away but sleep has been very restless for me. I wake to a awful smell it pulls me out of my sleep in registers in my mind what that horrid smell is it’s a ROGUE! I’m now feeling alert the whole house is in darkness I contemplate turning my lamp on as I’m thinking of plan of action a movement catches my eyes in the corner of the room I’m a highly skilled warrior but before I can ready myself for the battle to begin. The unthinkable happens I’m jabbed with something in my arm and I’m unconscious almost immediately. Sampson. Lisa screams in agony most the night she is unconscious but the pain of rejection is still present. When she wakes I will have to explain everything to her I’m not looking for Lisa’s forgiveness but the least I could do was sit with her during her pain and give her an explanation I know she will probably hate and I am okay with that I’m more then certain this will be our l
Clary pov It’s early Sunday morning and I’m pacing up and down the kitchen tiff notices my erratic behaviour and asks me what’s wrong. I don’t want to tell her sampson is obsessed with Esme and plans to ask her to be his chosen mate and Luna at lunch time it’s such a cock block to share feelings with females. But I have this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that will not go away not going to lie thought I was blocked up but after a trip to the bathroom my stomach didn’t feel right. “ you know what ever this is clary we can talk about it with me I will not judge you don’t carry what ever burden it is all on your own” huh she really is a great bar maid I’m sure she has heard every sob story from the people drunk at the bar. Note to self if I want any gossip or intel hit tiff up she probably knows the packs dirty secrets more then anyone. I let out a long sigh “what I’m about to tell you stays between us pinky promise cross your heart hope to die” she makes a cross symbol across her
Clary All I can now is wait until my team gets here we have a map of the city laid out on the table tiff and I will go over the coordinates and map out our search areas a routes. All of a sudden the front door flies open and alpha sampson is yelling Esme Esme is she home yet. My blood boils I shift instantly I don’t know if I will be able to control saxton his beyond angry with this poor excuse of a man. I let out a growl and run towards the sound of his voice I look at the alpha wanting vengeance and blood I’m sure he can see that in saxton’s eyes because when our eyes lock he too transforms we run at each other in attack mode. We start ripping into each blood splats all over the walls we are bouncing off the walls breaking furniture in the process I hear Tiffany yelling but I can’t make out the words I’m focused on the kill. Right then Trevor bursts in through the door with a few warriors they too shift and a few wolves pin us both down to stop the fight not the best of ideas but i
Esme My eyes open and take in my surroundings I’m not in my bed where am I? I’m in an unknown bed in an unfamiliar bedroom how did I get here at that thought I have a flashback some one was in my room last night not just a someone but a rogue my eyes drop to my arm there is a plaster on the spot where I felt the small prick in my skin. What the fuck is happening I hear hushed whispering down the hall it sounds like a man and woman. The smell of rogue is although out the room but for some unknown reason I don’t feel scared or alerted by the scent I sit up and try to work out a plan to escape my captors. I can hear foot steps coming down the hall towards the room I steady myself for attack. Perseus opens the door you are awake I have made you some breakfast. I look at him shocked “we need to get out of here Perseus I don’t think the people here are good people I can’t explain it to you right now but we need to leave now” the happiness now gone from his face. “I have a lot to talk to you
When I found out my sister was an analise was alive I went back to my old pack to see her. The alpha sent some warriors after me one of the older warriors who served my father took pity on me he told me the alpha had raised my sister as his own a treated her well she took his last name now instead of our deceased fathers. He said that the alpha had a kill on site order put on me but he would never kill me out of respect for my late father he was a dear friend to him and would remain loyal even after death. I wrote a note to analyse and asked if the warrior could give it to her discreetly I would never bother the pack again. My sister got in touch with me the alpha had told her I too had died in the battle we have secretly remained in contact and see each other when we can we have a stable sibling bond. I’ve always strongly believed in the fates and the moment I laid eyes on you the first day you arrived when you were near the cabanas I knew you were my mate I’m sorry I didn’t tell you
Clary The warriors have arrived we go over our rescue mission I inform the teams the trackers could only track the scent to the middle of the town and lost the scent so we have nothing to go off. I want every team to be as thorough as possible I want hourly updates from all teams, trackers and air patrol. Be vigilant and alert to any dangers we don’t know what we are going up against. Okay men head out. I keep Tiffany in my team I need her near me she is the only one to calm me down right now as if she senses what I am feeling she takes my hand and we walk together. We still haven’t heard from alpha dickhead he has probably made his way back home with his tail in between his legs I can’t believe his form. We are just about an hour in our search we get a call from team 2 they have alpha sampson in sight he is in a secluded area a little over a hour of the town borders. I tell them to keep him in sight and trail him. 5 minutes later they radio in with another report about him summoning
Esme I still can’t believe what I’m hearing. “Are you sure it’s the same sampson I know I don’t doubt you but I doubt he was talking about me I would never take sampson or anyone as a fact for a chosen mate” she looks between Perseus and I “I’m certain it is the very same person” I feel so sorry for analise I walk over and give her a hug “I am so sorry you had to endure this please know this is not something I could or would stand behind. I hope you can forgive me I know I directly did nothing to hurt you I am also the reason why sampson hurt you.” She hugs me back and laughs through the tears “oh my goddess stop it now I know why he wanted to take you as a chosen and was dangerously in love with you, you make it hard for me to hate you” I sit on Perseus lap I can see his anger rising he calms a little but I can still feel how angry he is I don’t know if it’s me who can feel it but the whole room him being a alpha by blood. He looks at me and says” it’s 100 percent the sampson you kno
Clary Our warriors have been out all night and no sign of Esme any where. We may need to call off the search today and try get assistance from bordering packs they might have information about the lone rogue or rogues in the area. We could also use extra hands if they are willing to extend their help. We decided to bunk up in a nearby hotel so we can all rest eat sleep and re access our plan and possible new strategies. I tell my men to meet in the conference room I have hire through the hotel in 8 hours. The longer we rest the longer Esme has been captive I swear I will slaughter any one who has hurt so much as a hair on her head. I will make them my bitch and do as they done to Esme tenfold. I will have them begging for death. Tiff and I are sharing a room I strip my dirty clothes off and turn the shower taps on the warm water on my skin feels great. I call tiff into the shower with me I need to release some of this tension she knows what’s up because she walks into the bathroom na
I rush over and embrace James in a hug while I pull Simon into our hug. “ do not ever say that you are not monsters” all three of us are crying I let them go and wipe my eyes I sit down on the lounge and pat on the lounge next to me motioning them to sit. “I want you both to know that uncle Harriet is doing well and is healing fast I spoke to uncle Trevor he said as soon as Harriet shifted into his wolf you both said “tainted” do you know why you might have said that? First and foremost I want you to understand that you are not in trouble and we all love you very much including your uncles we want to understand why you attacked him so we can prevent it from happening in the future” Simon is still crying he wipes his nose with his arm and says it wasn’t me who said “tainted” it was my beast and he took control and I he would not give me control back he wanted to kill him aunty Esme” he starts crying uncontrollably. Hmm I know what I am about to ask is risky but I know they boys lycan
Esme~ “Simon James WHAT ARE YOU DOING” The boys turn their attention onto me and start stalking towards me not going to lie I’m shitting myself right now but something in the back of my mind tells me they will not attack me. They stop a few steps before me their eyes are scary as hell then the unexpected happens they both bare their necks to me in submission. “Shift back now” I say firmly although I am anything but confident right now. Simultaneously and instantly as the words roll off my tongue Simon and James shift and fall to a heap on the ground. I run over to them and they are barely conscious I quickly check their pulse and heart rate and it seems normal clary runs over and scoops James up and I scoop Simon up following his lead. We get them back home and lay them onto their beds to rest. Clary and Xavier both stay with them while I go to check on poor Harriet he was not in a good state when Perseus all but dragged him out of the woods. I knock on his door and Trevor tells me
Perseus~ I closely watched the fight between clary and sampson as did Esme being a gamma and top warrior that she is we left our mindlink open during the fight and communicated through out both of us felt their elemental abilities came forth from emotion. Esme said it would be hard to control during battle we all needed to train as soon as possible. She is right who knows how long the dark knight has been training for and let’s face it we are all barely rookies at this point. Simon and James are walking up front after a brief conversation with Xavier I run a head to them. If our abilities stem from emotions and the only thing that put out clary’s fire was his mate what would happen if the boys ever lost control? “How are you boys feeling after watching clary and sampson one on one match?” Simon shrugs his shoulders James is the only one game enough to speak up “ it was pretty epic but both of us are scared. What are we Perseus we shifted early and we aren’t ordinary werewolves we a
Xavier~ Not going to lie if I hadn’t seen the cave paintings of the creatures the boys shifted into I would be scared shitless in all my time roaming this earth I have never seen anything like them in person but the sacred tribe of the howling pack have them painted in their caves. The story goes that when full blooded original wolves mate three generations then what they call a Lycan is born it had only happened a handful of times it is said they possess great strength and speed above and beyond any original and are supposedly the leaders of all werekind. One has not been born for centuries and when they are born they are hunted by an unknown group who believe if you kill them you possess their great powers. Which leaves a giant target on both the boys backs exactly what we need when we should be training for the war to end all wars. I’ve met aura for the first time this morning I knew the coven she is from the moment I meet her great great great grandmother was the original 5s gua
Esme~ Both Perseus and I shower together and snuggle on the bed together after a few rounds of mind blowing sex. I turn to face him while I’m enjoying laying here with my mate my mind can not help but wander to the two boys I know if anything major has happened clary would not hesitate to come find us. “It doesn’t make sense?” Perseus looks at me confused before he asks “what doesn’t make sense” “The boys first shift so young do you think it’s normal for bloodline original abilities to manifest their first shift so early? Will it effect their wolf? What if their early shift prevents them from shifting again? Perseus places a light feathery kiss on my forehead and lifts my chin up to meet his gaze. “You will not be able to sleep tonight worrying about Simon and James how about we check in on them?” I exhale a breath of relief. How did I become to lucky to have been mated to a kind and caring man we haven’t known each other too long but he just gets me he understands me on another
Perseus~ We run through the Forrest as fast as we can the moonlight shines down on a clearing where I can see two limp human bodies on the ground with wolf fur sprouting from their human form. Clary is to the side of them pacing and pulling at his hair repeatedly saying he let Tiffany down over and over I can tell my sister Lisa is sympathetic towards clary yet jealous he is so upset over another female. He won’t let anyone near the boys until Esme arrives and she leans down next to them and listens for a heart beat and checks both the boys pulses. She looks up to clary and tells clary they both still have a heart beat and pulse esme quickly sends everyone else home except for myself, clary, aura and Xavier. I know my sister doesn’t want to leave clary but she knows it is best if she leaves Esme can calm or comfort clary and Lisa is comfortable with her doing so she gives his hand a squeeze and kisses him on the cheek and turns to leave clary however pulls wraps his arm around her an
Esme~ I have too many thoughts swirling around my mind to pick even one to ask Xavier. Thankfully Perseus pulls me out of my thoughts we he asks Xavier if he would like to stay at the log cabin for a few nights to help train all of us at once. Xavier thinks hard about this while rubbing his chin until he finally speaks up. “I prefer the old ways of living but it would be nice to have some company it’s been decades since I have had interaction with others. What the heck just a few days” I start to worry at Perseus’s words “help train the others” what the actual fuck I do not know if that is a good idea training clary. I just seen Xavier basically flick his wrist like Spider-Man and light up a fire I could only imagine how training clary to do that is going to turn out let alone him mastering it he would burn the world down with out so much as a thought. We can hear howls in the distance and know it’s the others calling for us so we all decide to run back in wolf form we each let off
When the older wolf growls both Perseus and I shift into our wolves they both run towards the danger heading for the older wolf head on they tackle him to the ground and start licking his face the brown wolf is wagging his tail at our wolves gesture. WHAT THE FUCK is happening right now! I try to take back control but my wolf is reluctant until I shift back to my human form and Perseus does the same he pushes me behind him to hide my naked body from the man who has also shifted into his human form. His wolf looks old and rugged yet you can feel the power he emits in human form he is tanned brown hair and eyed man who looks to be in his late 20s early 30s his body has a few scars across it but he seems fit and healthy nonetheless. He looks at both of us and takes us into a hug “welcome home Devon and celeste it’s been a long time friends” he stand there awkwardly not hugging this strange man back. He seems to get the hint and let’s us go Perseus speaks up and tells the man we are not w
Esme~ What does this mean? I look at the book in front of me if I was to be perfectly honest with myself I felt a sense of familiarity looking at both the wolves on the page. How does this myth have anything to do with me or Perseus. Everyone it still gazing at the open book in disbelief. I mindlink Perseus and as him if he too felt a sense of familiarity looking at the two wolves but he closes off the mindlink maybe he isn’t use to the whole mindlink thing yet he has been a rogue for a long time. After a few more moments he walks off out the room and I hear the front door shut behind him. I don’t know if I should go after him or give him time to digest all this. I excuse myself from the table and ask clary and the others to see if there’s anything else useful in the book as I leave. I walk out the front to find Perseus leaning against a tree his expressions are hard to read as I approach him he looks at me and I see the heartbreak evident on his face. He puts his down and whispers s
