We went to bed that night with troubled minds. If werewolves are coming all over from different packs just to join our pack, who is to say the people that tried to kill when I was a baby haven’t heard too. The next morning, I followed Jason to the pack’s border. Apparently he told them he wasn’t going to let strangers into our pack and they decided to camp outside our borders last night without questions. The guards on duty kept a watch on them the entire night, but they didn’t do anything strange. Which made things even stranger. “Morning Alpha, morning Luna” the guards greeted. “Morning guys” I replied with a smile, while Jason just nodded at them. “Anything happen?” Jason asked while keeping his eyes on the group of people camping not far away from our border. “Not really,” Gareth answered. “They have been quiet since you left last night. Honestly, it’s kinda creeping me out.” “Can you go ask them to send a representative so we can talk?” Jason asked. “Okay.” Gareth bowed and
Two weeks ago.“This pack seems to be unguarded. Should we check it out?” a male voice asked.“I don’t feel like adding extra work for ourselves.” the other voice replied. “Let’s just get what we are supposed to get for Damon and leave. You know how he gets when he doesn’t get what he wants.”“But come on. Aren’t you a little curious?” the first voice asked.“Fine. two minutes and we are out”They headed in and made their way to the field by following the footprints and witnessed something remarkable. They saw Jason use his flames whips, but the most remarkable thing was seeing Ares using her bow. That’s not something that happens everyday. They slowly made their way back out while they were occupied with Fiona. “Isn’t it a good thing I made us check it out?” the first voice asked.“Isn’t that the princess that Damon thought had died?” the second voice asked. “How is she still alive?”“Don’t ask me, Vincent.” the first voice said “I’m just as shocked as you are.”“We are definitely g
Jason’s pov“Jason,” Ares called my name softly. We were in the comfort of our room after she told me to take my time that she could wait.“I’m listening beautiful,” I answered.“Remember back when I told you I spoke to the moon goddess and my parents?” Ares asked slowly.“Yeah I do.” I replied. “Did she tell you anything?”“Yes she did” she answered. There was no look of worry on her face, but I could tell how uneasy she felt through the mate bond. Which made me uneasy too.“Please tell me.” I pleaded softly. “Don’t make me guess.”“Let me just start at the beginning.” she said. “When I met Josh and we went into your office to talk, well I found out that my parents died trying to save me and so did Josh’s dad. Who left as much information as he could for us behind before he joined the fight again.”I nodded my head and she continued. “Well, Selene just warned me about how the people that attacked are still alive and they know that I am too and they aren’t all forgiving.”“Basically,
Joselyn and her crew travelled west after their rejection from Jason. They kept heading west to where Damon was. Joselyn had to report what she had found to Damon. As soon the guards spotted them from afar, they opened the gates and let them through.Everyone with Joselyn departed as soon as they got through the gates leaving her to walk up to the castle doors alone. As she walked, she thought of how she was going to relay the information she found without triggering her death by his hands.“Let me through.” Joselyn said to the guards.“Why?” the first guard asked why the other eyed her entire body.“Because his highness sent me out on a mission,” Joselyn said. “Will you let me through or do I have to move you myself?” The guards moved out of the way, but informed Hale of their incoming visitor.Joselyn navigated the huge castle herself as she had been there before. She made her way steadily to the throne room where she knew Damon would be. She could already hear voices the closer she
Ares’ povSince I told Jason about the future threat we might face, he’s been multitasking. Expanding himself way more than usual. Having numerous meetings with Josh and the rest. He barely has time to cook for Adriana and I anymore. It took a lot of convincing to get Adriana to believe her dad was just busy and not avoiding her. She was worried she broke her promise of being a good girl.I wasn’t exactly avoiding Madison, but I didn’t want to worry her with talks of threats on our lives when she’s pregnant. So I did what any good friend does, I say hi and pretend like nothing’s wrong which I assumed Luke was also doing.“Hi. You are finally back.” I said to Lyla as I walked into the pack’s living room. She had been going and coming for about three days now, and I had a feeling she'd been back for more than an hour, but just didn’t want to bother me yet.“Hello, Ares. How are you?” Lyla asked. “I’ve been great. I’ve been patiently waiting for you.” I informed her.“Yeah. I had to get
Damon got word this morning about the meeting with the elders. It wasn’t supposed to be held until the day after tomorrow. What was even more annoying was that he couldn’t refuse them.A council of six people sat around the throne room and looked at Damon as they waited for his response to their question. When he didn’t answer, they asked again in annoyance.“There are rumours going on that the princess still lives, is that true?” one of the elders asked.Damon sighed heavily and responded. “Not for long.”“Do not carry out whatever it is you have in that rotten mind of yours!” another said.“Raise your voice at me again, and I’ll separate your limbs from your body.” Damon said in anger. “Remember who you are talking to.”“You know there will be repercussions if you kill a council member. You couldn’t do it years ago, and you certainly can’t do it now.” the first elder said.“I didn’t say I was going to kill her, I said I’ll separate her limbs from her body.” he shrugged. “And just fo
Jason’s pov“We have to bring him into this.” Luke sighed. “I know you are reluctant to involve him, but I’m sure he’d understand. We need something, and he has his ways of getting us answers.”Another week has passed and we still haven’t gotten any information about where the threat is or even his name. He was frustrated and so was I but involving Cole doesn’t feel right to me. The poor kid just wants to start afresh without any baggage.“I can’t drag Cole into this again Luke.” I answered. “He’s leaving next week. If I tell him this, then he’d drop whatever he needs to do for himself and help, and I don’t want that.”“Then what do we do?” Josh asked from across the room. “Planning is your forte,” he pointed at me. “Organising is yours,” he pointed at look. “Fighting is mine and Carlton’s'' Carlton nodded in agreement. “Getting information is Cole’s thing, and right now, that is what we need.”“Precisely.” Luke agreed.“I might have an idea.” I said. “If my idea doesn’t work, then we
The next morning as I got ready, Ares told me she’d ask the moon goddess about what I asked and she’ll report back to me by twelve. I agreed, kissed her and left the room. I made an effort to hang out with my daughter a little before I left, which by the look on her face, she loved. I headed back to my office and worked on some pack’s business while watching the time. When the time struck 11:50, I stopped what I was doing and called in the guys. “You called and we are here.” Luke said as he settled. “Yes.” I affirmed. “Remember when I said, I had an idea that doesn’t involve us involving Cole?” they nodded reluctantly. “Well I asked Ares to ask the moon goddess directly. So, we’ll all wait here for Ares to give us the information.” “She can do that?” Carlton asked in surprise. “Yeah.” I smirked. “Cool” he smiled. “You are lucky she chose you.” “I know and I’d like to keep it that way.” I said quietly. We sat there discussing until the ten minutes were up. Five minutes after twe
