We didn’t see Elyse or Demitri for a full day after that. It was interesting to watch the dynamic of our group change though. When it was just Renee pregnant, the situation was new and manageable. But, now with Elyse pregnant too, I can see some of my friends' demeanor change when the subject is brought up, especially Jessica, like it’s a really big deal.
I think, of all of us, she was the one who most wanted to be mated and a mother right away and she is jealous of the attention the other two are getting. I have seen it a little in Damien and Danielle too. I don’t know if it is a wolf thing to want to procreate so quickly after finding your mate, or just the idea of being left out. Up until this point all six of us girls have done everything together, even if we didn’t like each other’s c

Damien Pups is all anyone can talk about right now. It seems like the whole pack is completely focused on starting our next generation as if this impending war with Max is just going to wait for us to be ready. We just barely started working on the girls' magic and how we, as their mates, enhance it. I feel like there is so much we aren’t being told and that is what has me on edge. I’m standing at the front of the training grounds with Demitri, Trent and Taylor. We just came up with a strategy to divide all of the fighters by experience and try to leave rank out of it. We are still having issues with some members feeling superior to others based on rank or the fact that they were born into the pack. We knew that was going to be an issue for a while. Those ingrained beliefs don’t change overnight. It doesn’t m

Damien I didn’t see my brother for the rest of the day after Renee summoned him. I wasn’t worried about it though. He was 18 and had been given his mate early by the moon goddess. I would have spent every moment with my mate as well if she had been given to me early. He saw what I went through waiting for Leah, he was not going to waste his advantage. I am so tired after whatever magical draining we had to do for Simon. Now I understand what the moon goddess and witch mother meant when they said it will physically weaken you. So I clearly didn’t pull enough from the elements around us. I really should check on Leah and make sure I didn’t do anything to her as well. As I reach the corridor to our room Leah comes rushing up to me and wraps me in a big hug. “I’ve missed you.” She

Leah “Elyse, will you and Renee double check all the sensors and cameras around the North side of the packhouse territory? I woke up with a really bad feeling this morning.” I say, mindlinking my friends. “Renee, use your intuition and see if you can sense anything beyond what we can see. Elyse, see if you can enhance her sensitivity.” “Okay, Leah, we’re on it, but can you give us anything else about this bad feeling?” Renee asks, worry in her tone. “No, I just woke up with this pressure on my chest and the sound of laughter. Whatever I was hearing sounded like it was saying ‘we’re coming’ but I have no idea what that means or if I was dreaming. I just need to recheck everything and I can’t do that alone.” I know I sound crazy, but with everything that has happened, the craziest thing tends to b

Leah We all had our jobs to do and we did what we do best, divide and conquer. By noon we had the whole pack gathered behind the main packhouse. We left the children with trusted and loyal omegas in the territory packhouses. As a group we are standing on the back porch of the packhouse which is slightly elevated so the whole pack can see us. As I look around I know not everyone is gathered, but we can only do so much and I don’t want to compel people to show up. We will make note of who is missing and they will be the first on the list to be questioned or detained if something goes wrong. The former Lunas are already making mental notes of people they recognize as absent. “We are here to let you know about what is going on in the fight against Max and his followers. We have heard many rumors starting to fly about and

Leah Damien picks me up and carries me to our room and gently sets me on the bed. The rest of our Alpha group follows silently. Once everyone is comfortable and Damien is settled in behind me, sitting against the headboard and pulling me close, resting back against his chest. He is rubbing my arms gently and I can’t fight the safe feeling it gives me. I take a deep breath and fill everyone in on what Bronwyn told me. “She said she was using the bond to talk to me, but it was draining what was left of my magic at the time. I’m supposed to share this protection spell with you guys, but I don’t know how. She was singing or humming, I guess would be a better way to describe it…” “Wait, think about it again. I felt

Leah The last 24 hours have been a whirlwind. No one has come to terms with the fact that I will be the main target for Max, but it did comfort them to know that I wasn’t planning on doing it alone. I just knew that I would be his main focus and if I can maintain that focus long enough, his arrogance would be his downfall. “Move those bunks to the far wall and start assembling, we need at least a hundred more done by tonight.” Jess is shouting over the din of noise going on in the packhouse dry storage area we are converting into a shelter. “Leah, Leah! Come and look!” Someone is shouting from across the room. It’s Elyse and Danielle and they are smiling like idiots.

Leah‘EVERYONE TO THEIR STATIONS! GET ALL OUR VULNERABLE TO THE NEAREST BUNKER AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE PACK SAFE HOUSE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL OUR OUTER BARRIERS ARE UNDER ATTACK!’ I scream through the mindlink.I feel a punch to my gut but I am nowhere near anyone who would harm me. When I close my eyes as I feel it again, I notice red flares across my mind. I can see where attacks are happening!“Damien! I can see the attacks!” I grab his hand tightly keeping my eyes closed. “We need a team to the Blood Moon territory, the Night Fang territory and Silver Mist. Can you do that? I need to hit the war room and let Elyse and Danielle know, maybe I can prevent too many casualties.”“Okay, babe, be safe.” He kisses me hard and deep like he’s putting every ounce of his affection for me in this kiss. And it hits me, he might be saying goodbye. I grab his face and pull him in tighter.“You be safe too, check in regularly, please. I will let you know if I move from the war room.” I look up at hi

72 Damien The rumbling in the ground started with the growls from the other side of our outer barrier, but as the vibrations grew I knew something else was happening. “Fall back, something is coming from underground!” I shout through the mindlink. Just as I had the thought, all of the areas where we have spelled elements linking our outer barrier explode into the air and I feel a whoosh of air as the protection spell vanishes. The roar of growls, hissing and other angry noises overwhelmed me like a tidal wave. Masses of angry, demonic looking wolves charged our way. “Brace for impact” Ellinore, whispers through the link and then she jumps her fiery ass into the fray. She was magnificent, grabbing at anything that looked remotely hostile. She tore through limbs and tossed many rogues aside like rag dolls. Titan and Onyx look at each other and realize they are missing out on all the fighting, staring at Flare. All of these females really have shown how strong they are, and hav

83LeahThe warmth I have been feeling was so comfortable at first, but now it is getting suffocating. I’m not dead, I know that much, but I don’t know where I am or how long I have been here. I was very confused when I first woke up. This place has nothing, everything is white and cozy. If I focus on anything I can get it to focus and become tangible, but it takes a lot of concentration and makes my brain hurt. There is no day or night, my body just sleeps when it wants to and is awake when it wants too. It was very relaxing at first, with no thoughts running through my head to distract me or need to be anywhere, but as my mind began to put together the reasons I was here, the more anxious I became. I need to get back to my pack, my mate and my family. I don’t feel trapped or caged, but I have no idea how to leave either. “Relax child, you are safe and so is everyone you love. You need to rest and so does your wolf. You both accomplished great things and you need to heal. You have i

Damien The amount of wolves that dropped everything that they were doing was astounding. I think the whole pack came out to protect their Alpha Lunas. Hundreds of shifters surround us, men, women and children of all ages. My heart swelled with pride at the loyalty we were being shown right now. The rogues around us didn’t know what to do with the sudden onslaught of new fresh fighters. Still kneeling next to Leah, my sister and Danielle, I could see the rogue wolves on their front line shifting anxiously, waiting for a command. “You will not get any further instructions. Your leader is dead!” Taylor shouted at the rogues. You could tell they were nervous and had no clue what they were doing. They all still had a faint red glow in their eyes. It was faded, but still present. There must have been some level of control still over them. “You don’t have to fight us anymore, you are no longer under the control of the Darkness.” Demitri stands up next to Elyse, still maintaining

Leah “We need Selene and Niobe for this. I don’t know how to control the magic enough to fight this thing.” I look at Ellinore, pleading with my eyes for her to understand I have no idea what I am doing. She crawls over to me and wraps me in a hug, then I feel another weight on top of hers and I can smell Danielle’s scent wafting around us calming us both down. “Hey, I don’t mean to break up the love fest, but we have a problem here.” Demitri shouts over his shoulder while still keeping a grip on Elyse. We all look over and Max’s form is splitting again into the elemental monsters. Six hideous creatures of our nightmares are oozing off of Max’s form. His form gets darker and more tar-like and slow as he divides into the monsters. “We can’t fight them again, we all barely got through the last fight.” Jess cries, tears running down her face as she leans her back more into Trent’s embrace. I can feel her panic through the pack bond. “We can. Look at them, they are half the size

Leah I am so confused…and tired. My whole mind is just tired, like something is stealing my energy. “Babe, you need to stand up.” Damien says to me. Damien, my mate, the love of my life since I was five. The person who has always made me feel strong and safe. “How was Max able to block you from my memory? It didn’t last long, but he was able to separate us for a bit and used that weakness to trap us. We can’t let him do that to anyone else.” I am holding his hand, refusing to break contact again. I realize he must feel the same as he laces our fingers together and rubs his thumb in circles on the back of my hand. I still feel like I am being drained of energy. I wonder if it has to do with this bubble thing we are trapped in. I reach my other hand out to try and touch the shimmering membrane and I jump back as it shocks me. “What? What happened?” Damien looks worried and surprised. “We need to figure out what is making me feel so drained and we have to figure out how to bre

Danielle Where could they have gone? I know Leah was standing behind me keeping an eye on Max’s movements while we handled our elemental monsters, which I am still not convinced are completely gone. As much as they sucked to battle, it was too easy. “When did you see her last?” I ask Ellinore, not having to specify who I am talking about. “Not sure, the blob split and all hell broke loose. She was behind us as the monster started to attack. I didn’t see which way Max went though, did you?” “No. I just hope Damien is with her and they aren’t fighting alone.” My heart hurts at the thought. I couldn’t have taken out the robo monster without Ellinore. The Goddesses were right, our mates strengthened our powers. “I have a feeling Max knows that we strengthen each other and wanted to keep us separate to get to Leah. She’s our tether, the thing that linked us all in the beginning and the person we all gravitate to now. If he breaks her, we are in serious trouble.” The rest of

Jess Oh my goddess there is blood and people everywhere. I was so not made for this kind of thing. This foul smelling swamp demon is after me and I have no idea how to really fight. Trent is working so hard to keep me protected and I just feel like a burden and distraction that keeps getting in the way. “Jess, look out!” I hear as another wave of water is thrown my way. I duck and roll, much more agile than I expected. I run over to Trent who is lying on the ground soaked to the bone and the slimy residue seems to be affecting him, slowing him down. “Help me!” I cry out not sure if anyone can actually hear me. There is so much fighting all around me, the sound almost deafening. “Silence, child, you are more than capable of handling this. You were made to handle all of this. Do not let your abysmal upbringing make you underestimate your worth. You represent the wood element. Strong and steadfast, a sturdy beacon of home for your pack.

Leah “What?” I question as I can feel the light of life go out in my head and my heart. “What’s wrong?” “Leah, babe, just get up and come with me, there’s nothing we can do right now.” Damien is grabbing at my arms to get me out from under the dead wolf, and trying to usher me away. “Wait, why do we have to go, we have to try and help…” “We can’t help him now, we need to go.” Damien cut me off. “I know you, you’ll dwell on it. We have to keep our eyes on Max, he’s starting to move.” Damien is tugging on my arms now. I can’t help it, I feel compelled to stay with this wolf, who literally died on top of me. I wrenched my hand out of his. “No, I need to see who it is.” I turned back to the wolf and my whole world halted. “No.” It was a whisper as my breathing became shallow and I struggled to remain upright. Damien caught me around the waist and eased me to the ground. This was the first person since Jason that I have seen killed because of me, and this was the worst part ab

Leah As the barrier breaks a gust of wind rushes through the grounds whipping my hair around and almost knocking me down. I could feel the power radiating in the breeze and absorbing into my skin, reenergizing my whole body. “Whoa! Did you feel that?” Nyx asks me. “Yeah, that was amazing.” “Our children, listen closely.” A loud chorus of voices booms through my skull, vibrating every bone in my body. I grab my head and wince in pain. I look around and realize that I am not the only one. All of us, even the guys are grabbing our heads. “Trust the magic and let us in. Your pack will not survive without our help.” “Alphas, we are here.” Someone shouts from behind me. “The packhouse has our protection.” a roar of approval rises after the statement. “Let your members serve their purpose, just as you all will serve yours.” I gasp a breath in and try to open my mind to what is happening to me. I feel like I am burning up inside, but I can feel my strength grow. I look around a

Leah “INCOMING!!!” Is all that I hear before a flaming fireball with legs comes barreling through the forest knocking down rogues left and right. “Grab these f**kers and lets get a move on, I don’t know how long this will last.” Ellinore’s somewhat crazy laugh whoops through the mindlink. Elyse and Renee stay together, Jessica closely watching them while the rest of us toss the possessed rogues into the trench. “We need to get to the other fights too, Elyse try to do the ground opening thing from here, Niobe said to focus on a specific point and have Leah boost you. Leah, can you pinpoint the fighting and direct her? I’m going to go knock these tools around a bit more. Have that hole open for me when I get there.” She cackles again before blasting off towards another part of the territory.. “You need to explain how you know all of this.” Danielle huffs through the link. “Later, babe, I’m on fire right now!” “You are an idiot” Danielle sighs, “You’re my idiot, but still an id
