Unknown POV I've heard that members of that bloody pack are going out into the human world to find more information on her. We can't let that happen. We need to find a way to destroy her records. Any small thing could lead her back to the past. “More coffee sir?” Olivander took me from my thoughts and I nodded my head. “You have a meeting with two of the south land packs this morning sir. Some petty quibble over land again.” He said as he poured my fresh coffee. “And then later, you have a meeting with the human lords of the west.” I rolled my eyes. I hated meeting with the humans. They all feel like they are entitled to more rewards for keeping the secrets of our kind, but really it is for their own safety more than ours. We keep them up to date of pack borders and rogue activity and they know where they can avoid and which areas to keep their humans out of harms way. But all they could see was a way to fill more of the void left by greed. Ever time they came, they wanted more mo
Leon POV “Leon? Hello?” I jumped and turned from the window I didn't realise I was staring out. “Eric? How long have you been standing there?” I asked as I glanced around my office. “About 5 minutes dude. What is up with you? I know there are things you aren't telling me and I don't wanna pry to get it out of you, you are my best friend and I wouldn't wanna force you to talk unless you are ready too.” Eric look a deep breath and walked over to one of the seats and sat down. “But..” I said and gestured for him to go on. “But. You are the Alpha and I am the beta. And as your beta, I feel like you whatever is going on with you could be affecting the well being of the pack. People have been talking.” I stood and walked over to the window, gazing back out to the forest. “I know.” I sighed. “But there is so much more going on now and if it all gets out the whole pack could be in danger.” I heard him sit forward in his chair. “What don't I know Leon? You have been so distant from me l
“I have faith that you will stay alive.” The familiar voice of a man sounded as I once again sat in the darkness hearing howls and growling coming from the distance. 'Alice? Can you hear me. Please, it's happening again.' There was a rustling sound of bushes and a sound of hurried footsteps. “She's here, she's right here, just like he said.” Came a woman's voice sounding relieved. “Thank the goddess. I would have personally ripped the little wolves throat out if he lied to us.” Came the voice of another woman, this one however, was familiar. Like I've heard her before but I can't picture her face. I heard a low hum and felt a woosh of warm air flow over me. As both women started to chant in unison. Ligare magicae penitus intus. Abscondam ab iis qui quaerunt pueri. Abscondere potestatem quae habitat in. Donec tempus advaniat propinquis. Ligare magicae penitus intus. Abscondam ab iis qui quaerunt pueri. Abscondere potestatem quae habitat in. Donec tempus advaniat propinquis. Lig
Leon POV 'We haven't seen her in days. Can't we just make an excuse to go see her?' Khaos groaned in my head. 'We need to give her space. She has a lot to deal with and she needs some time. I miss her too bud.' There was a knock at the door and I called for Liam to come in. “You wanted to see me?” He said as he took a seat. After the conversation with Aleister and Juvia, I needed more people I could trust to look into the background of the royals, so I trusted Liam with looking into the books in his school. I told him about my thoughts on her background but I know its up to her to disclose the rest to him. “How has it gone in school? Fun being back?” I joked. “Dude, they think I've been replaced.” He laughed sitting back in his seat. “I'm spending so much time in the library that even the chicks are starting to avoid me. Not good for my rep.” “I mean, its about time. You think they would know to avoid you by now.” I laughed back at him and he threw me a glare. “How is the resea
Leon POV “What is she talking about Leon? What the hell is wrong with Alice? I know I'm not the only one who felt it and I've felt it before. Tell me what the hell is going on.” Liam snapped as he stepped toward us. As fun loving as he usually is, he has a quick temper and he hate having things kept from him. I could feel Juvia's arms tighten around me. I guess its time to come clean, things are going to some out now. Before I could say anything however, there was a commotion coming from the front of the packhouse. “Shit. Handle that. I'll be out in a minute.” I ordered Liam. I felt the heat of his piercing eyes in my back for a few seconds before I heard him scoff and walk away. “What did I do?” I heard her whisper softly from my arms and I just held her tighter. I held her in my arms, trying my best to explain that the explosion was a burst of her aura, but even then I didn't fully understand if what I was telling her was even what fully happened. I felt her pull back and glanc
Leon POV Taking in her pale beauty, I couldn't help the sickening feeling that came over me. What have we done? Juvia lay passed out in my arms, the concoction of sedatives and wolfsbane coursing through her doing its job. 'We had too. She cannot leave.' Khaos growled angrily in my head. I couldn't argue with him. He was right. I looked at the glistening needle that sat in my hand. The one we have been carrying for weeks after Liam told us she wanted to leave to go to Hunter. There was a knock on the wall beside the broken in door drawing my attention. “Alpha?” Eric look at me then to Juvia. “Leon, what have you done?” “She was leaving Eric.” I heard my own voice break. “Leon, you told her she was not being held against her will.” The tone of his voice shifted to anger and I could see his eyes flicker as his wolf, Donnie, tried to push forward. “You promised her she was free to make her own choice about staying.” “You think I don't know that?” I shouted back in anger. “You thi
Unknown POVI stood in the shadows leaning against a wall, the rain falling hard around me as I watched the dive bar from a distance.“You stupid piece of shit. How did they get away from you? She was completely fucked up when I left for the Midnight Hour Pack. After we fucked I made sure to let her know that if her son done anything to fuck us over she would be next. She shouldn't have been unable to move.”I watched Hunter scream at one of his pack members. Rogues are a disgusting breed all on their own.“Sir, they disappeared. You were right, they headed for Midnight Hours borders but we lost their scent a few miles away.” The young man replied, clearly fearing for his life.I watched as he lifted his hand to hit the kid but he was stopped by his phone ringing.“Hello........ What?....... Well what the fuck was it?...... What do you mean it felt like an Alpha command?....”I stood from the wall, drawn to his conversation.“It's her. She's a lot more powerful than I though.... Stay c
------- “Abscondam ab iis qui quaerunt pueri.” The voice of a woman that I heard before spoke almost like a soft humming melody. “Hide from those who seek the child.” A different soft voice whispered. It was Alice, but she sounded different. Almost like a young child. “Ligare magicae penitus intus.” The woman continued. “Bind the magic deep inside.” Alice spoke again. “Abscondere potestatem quae habitat in.” “Hide the power that dwells within.” ….. Does Alice understand what the woman is saying? How? She doesn’t know anything about my dreams. She knew nothing from before she woke up on my 18th birthday. How can I be hearing her voice from my dreams if they could be memories? “Donec tempus adveniat propinquis” “Until time comes to be united with kin.” -------- Juvia POV Bright lights burned my eyes as I tried, painfully, to sit up. My entire body ached as I tried to take in my surrounding. “Where am I?” I croaked out noticing I wasn’t in my room. ‘Alice?’ I tried to reach
Juvia POVWe sat in silence for a few moments. I could feel the rage radiate from him and I sat quietly until he was ready. This was a lot to take in. The truth of his parents was one thing but the more he continued the more I understood his protective nature.“When she was 15, she was known as the jewel of their pack. She was beautiful. Long black hair, porcelain skin. And it was at this time, Lorenzo noticed the attention she was getting from the older members. So when it came to the pack meetings, he had a special room in the cellars made up for visiting Alphas to bring her down and use her however they wanted.”My hands flew to my mouth as tears started to silently fall down my face.“This was why, when I did what I did to you, not only did I hate myself so much for putting you through that, everyone else did too. It makes me sick to my stomach the shit my mother went though being locked in that room. So when I locked you up in a room of your own, I should have known better.”I co
Juvia POVI sat on the sofa, hanging on every word Leon said. Things very few people in his pack even knew about. Leon's parents were murdered and nobody knows the truth. He's carrying this burden with the help of a few other people, as to protect his pack and most of all, his brothers.“Why they were killed though, we still have no clues.” I slowly reached towards his hands that where wrapped tightly around the glass of whiskey and took one in my hand.“Is that why you don't talk about them?” I asked softly.“Yeah. It's hard keeping this from the guys. When we talk about them, I just want to tell them. But I would break their hearts if I told them the truth.”I nodded. I understood his intentions but it wasn't my place to tell him I thought he was making a mistake by not telling his brothers the truth.“So, I'm sorry, I don't want to push but I need to Leon.” I watched as he cocked his eyebrow in confusion. “Your grandfather?”He nodded in understanding and took his hand from mine.“
Juvia POV“Grandfather?” I asked confused. In an instant Leon had Clancy pinned against the wall, gasping for breath.“Why?” I watched as Khaos pushed to the surface. “Why him?”I watched as Clancy's hands fought against Leon's arm while he choked out his words. “Because... He... Knew... The... Tales...”Leon glared at him for a few seconds while Clancy continued to gasp for air, before he grunted and dropped his hand and Clancy collapsed to the floor breathing hard.Leon turned hard on his heel and stomped back to his desk and sat down. Nobody moved until he spoke again.“Michael, you better tell me something that isn't going to piss me off.”Michael sighed. “Alpha, Lorenzo, as much as we hate him, has heard of the things we want to know. One of the other elders we spoke to contacted him because of a story he told once at a gathering. Something about a woman he knew using an Alpha aura to destroy a building. When he asked about why they were interested, they told him they were doing
Heston POVI rustled through papers at my desk, lost in thoughts of the conversation with hunter. There are only a few weeks then the girls full power unlocks and it will be harder to hide that she is still alive.“Your highness?” I heard a voice.I glanced up to see one of the maids standing offering to pour me a drink. I waved my hand to dismiss her.“It isn't like you to turn down a drink my love, is something the matter?” In walked my beautiful mate, Daria. Her long black hair flowed and her scent calmed me immediately.“Just work my love. Circumstances have changed so I'm having to move the plans up.” I run my hand through my thick light brown hair. “She is closer to her transformation than we originally thought.”“So that's it? You are 100% sure it's her now?” She sat on the table next to me and glanced at the papers in front of me.“There is no mistake now. The one thing I don't understand, is how she's stayed hidden so long.”I heard a small growl come from her. “It could only
Leon POVIt's been days from I've spoken to Juvia and right now Khaos is going nuts in my head. He wants to see Alice, but both are refusing to see me.I sat in my office staring out the window, half listening to the morning patrol plans.“Are you even listening Leon?” Liam snapped. “Because if I'm wasting my time I'll go out myself.”“Sorry man. My heads just in a fucking dizz. Khaos hasn't stopped shouting at me.” I groaned.“Well get it fucking together man.” He snapped again.From the conversation about Juvia possibly being mated to my brothers, he's been extra irritable. Aleister has been travelling to other packs to do research on what could be going on but so far hasnt found much.There was a knock at the door and Eric came in and both me and Liam looked at him with urgency, yet he just waltzed in as if we weren't waiting on him.“Well?” I snapped standing from my seat.He walked across the room and sat on the sofa in the corner and stretched out his arms.“What happened?” Liam
Juvia POVI still cant get over that strange dream with the familiar woman.I spent the next few days in our apartment, telling the twins I wasn't feeling well and that I didn't want to see anyone. I didn't tell them about wanting to leave, or about what Leon done to me. I didn't want to put them in a situation where they would want to come with me or turn against Leon. Especially when he's only recently started getting Kevin's trust.“Hello?” A voice called from towards the front door. I got up and walked to the hall and looked towards my locked door before I heard another knock.I walked over and looked out through the peephole to see a woman standing there with an annoyed look on her face. She was skinny, and although she looked to be in her 40s, her long salt and pepper hair made her seem wise beyond her years.“Hello?” I finally replied after hearing her let out a sigh.“Oh finally!” She snapped. “It's extremely rude to keep someone waiting at your door.”'Wow, who does she think
Juvia POVI looked at my phone and realised I've been sitting in the flower garden for over an hour. It really is a calming beautiful place. My stomach growled slightly and I couldn't remember the last thing I had to eat.Deciding to head back inside I was about to leave when something in the corner of the garden caught my eye. There was a small cluster of little white flowers behind a small section of snapdragons, the ones Leon explained were planted for him by his mother.Taking a closer look, I discovered a small group of snowdrops in full bloom.“Wow, they are beautiful.” I spoke out loud. “But that's strange. They usually don't bloom this time of year.”“You know your flowers.” Came a soft voice from behind me.I turned to see a beautiful vision of a woman standing behind me. Tall and slim, with long velvet like black hair that hung down her back reaching her bum. She had the most lovely green eyes and when she gave me a small smile, I could feel my hurt and anxiety vanish in an
Juvia POVLeon's fist slammed down on the table “What the fuck did you just say?”I watched as Aleister bared his neck to Leon and Liam looked down to the floor.“I just mean, it seems like me and Liam have an incomplete bond. Like there is something in the way of it becoming complete, like your bond.”“So you mean we have to share her?” Liam burst out laughing. “Like just taking turns with her. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. What if Leon lives for like 90 years? Do we just wait?”This time I heard Leon let out a low growl.Aleister cleared his throat and shifted slightly. “Or if she rejected Leon.”My head shot to Leon and I noticed he was already looking at me wide eyed.'No. Not an option. Please Juvia.' Alice pleaded in my head.The room sat quiet while everyone just stared at me and I couldn't take it any more.“I'd like to go for a walk. I need to think things over.” I shot up and headed for the door.“Wait.” Leon called as my hand reached for the door handle, caus
Juvia POV'Please don't hold this against him. I get that you're pissed. So am I. But don't reject him, don't leave Juvia.' Alice was gaining more strength now. Whatever was in the syringe was wearing off.'Alice, how can we trust him? Who does that to another person?' I snapped back at her. This mate bond was our wolves pulling each other together, and because they are part of our souls, it's a part of someone pulling a part of someone else. The bond is stronger for our wolves though. But it can be denied, or rejected as Alice put it.There was a small knock at the door and I walked over to it slowly.“Hello?” I called out softly.“I didn't mean for this to happen Juvia. I don't know why I did this. I just wanted you safe.”Leon's voice was a low humming coming through the thick door.“Please let me out Leon. You promised me I would be free to make my own choice. That I wasn't a prisoner.” I pleaded, but I was met with silence. “Leon?”I waited, but just when I turned away thinking h
