Madness Decends 17. Troy's Secret
After the train wreck of a morning, Briar was sure that she would remain by herself the rest of the day, so it surprised her when she heard footsteps. “Am I going to get punished for my flippant tongue, or worse?” she whispered to herself. When she saw the door being pushed slowly open, she thought she was done for, but it was Troy! He poked his head into the room. “Can I come in?” He asked, a strange look on his face. “What are you doing here? I didn’t expect I would have any visitors after this morning.” Briar admitted. “I’m here on official A business. It turns out he enjoys violin music, so…Ta-Da!” he went fully into the room. A violin slung across his shoulder, sheet music and books in his arms, and a bag slung over his other shoulder. “No way! He did this for me?” Briar squealed. The way his heart sped up just by seeing her face light up, caught him off guard. “Not so fast,” he joked, “the only way you get this stuff is if you explain this all to me. I must have spent 2 ho

“Animikii!” Troy slammed his fists on the door. “Open up, it’s Briar!” he shouted, pounding louder. The door flew open and Animikii stood before Troy. “What did you do to Briar?” He asked. “I kissed her. She’s unconscious because she and Rei had already imprinted. I swear I didn’t know that. If I had, I would have never done it!” Troy folded his hands in front of him and looked to the floor.“I understand. Every wolf is attracted to Kitsune. Some fall in love, but most feel blind devotion. You my friend have been a blessing in disguise with this.” Animikii complimented him. “How do you see that? She’s dying! There’s nothing that can save a wolf from this.” Troy exclaimed, feeling himself slipping into madness. “Relax, you have not done something that can’t be reversed. You have also given me a secret to use against my father and brothers.” Animikii said, eyes growing darker showing Troy what happened to cause Briar’s reaction. “Both of them imprinted? At the same time? That’s not

Dove got into Rei’s Jeep and took off in the direction of the Row. He had felt Kitsune there. If he were to get close enough to her location, he could pick up her static and it would lead him straight for her location. 25 minutes after he left the KingBears, he arrived in the outskirts of the Ro.. He needed a place to park where no one would recognize his ride, and walk in. When he saw a house with just enough foliage to hide him, he parked 3 blocks away and made for that house. Making it without anyone catching him, he just sat there, listening, watching, and waiting to see what he need to. Around 3 am he saw what he was waiting for. 3 wolves walking together discussing something of great importance. Dove decided its now or never and jumped out of the Jeep and sprinted a few blocks ahead of them so he could cut them off and ask his questions. “He’s never going to let that girl go, not till she emerges. Then he plans on either keeping her for himself or he’s going to let Troy have h

“When we go out tonight to search our teams will be a little mixed and matched because of the number of us. Stryxx, Dove, and I will be the intel team. Rico, Nico I need you as our eyes in the skies. Tris, Trinity, and Link will be on call as our quicksilver team to back up any of us if we can’t help but to mix it up. Any suggestion, or additions?” Kyle said. “Where’s Dove’s little buddy, and where is she going to while we take the risks?” Tris asked. “She will remain here with Shae and Noni. Her information will be invaluable tonight. If we don’t focus and work together, this A might change everything, Briar could be lost to us. We would be back at square one.” Kyle sat in his chair with a heavy thud. He’ll looked tired,, but that was only on the outside. In his heart he knew the Fang, his inner wolf Riizen, clawed at his inside, begging to be set free. If that were to happen, Riizen would burn through any and everything to get Briar back. He was the definition of a Berserk Wolf.

Three vehicles, filled with wolves, sped towards the Row from the north, east and west. They wouldn’t dare run to the south, it was the humans only “Safe Place", and no wolf would willingly cross into the south, if it was an emergency, it could be overlooked. They all agreed to park 3 or more blocks away and walking as the twins had done before. When they got as close as they dared, Dove asked for a little privacy to prepare himself for this. “Take your time, the others aren’t ready yet anyway. He walked back to the car he arrived in, pulled out the letter, paralyzed by the words. Dove, This letter is going to be far from easy, so please hear me out? Your family as well as the KingBear family have been entangled for as long as any wolf can remember. Take extreme caution with your father’s wolves. They may serve him, but there’s another Alpha wolf is the pulling the strings from the shadows, a wolf no one has met before. He plans on corrupting the Light Bringer, to usher in a new

Troy gave Briar a few days to allow her to come to terms with her newly discovered destiny, before talking to her again, brainwashing is a delicate process. If done incorrectly, Briar and Kitsune wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between one another and a confused, berserk wolf was not going to accomplish anything but more fighting. In the morning, Misha brings her breakfast and talks with her about things the made her feel normal. “Morning, Misha. I’m sorry If you got punished because of my stubbornness. Can you forgive me?” Bri asked. “Don’t worry about it. A will not sacrifice me or Troy, so put those fears to rest. Here, I brought you some good food this morning, and a double shot of espresso. You drink that right?” Misha smiled, wrinkling her nose.“Hell yeah! I haven’t had one since before I was so rudely taken.” Bri snapped. “I have some news from the outside world if you care to hear it?” Misha asked. “Sure, why not? Its not like I’m going anywhere near the outside.”

“I don’t understand why Animikii is being so nice to that girl. Troy sticks to her like glue, I am getting sick and tired of playing sweet valley high with her!” Misha screamed. “A has his reasons, you know that. He’s not doing this to punish us, he is thinking of our future by taking Kitsune’s human vessel and twisting her wolf spirit using Briar to do it. It’s a deliciously elegant plan, don’t you think?” Moon asked her. “You’re just as sick as he is! Are you sure you’re not related? Mental illness runs in the family, you know?” Misha said, walking away, heels clacking against the marble floor.Troy sat at the little table in Briar’s room, listening to her playing Four Seasons by some composer or another. When they were alone like this, it was the only time he allowed himself to fantasize that he was her real mate, they were just normal wolves, and he didn’t know what he knew about her, or what her fate was. They could just be two wolves, happy, in love, and free. “If only.” He a

Getting back to the ground floor, Dove saw Stryxx sitting, patiently on a rock ledge, his eyebrows furrowed, tongue poked out the side of his mouth, and his eyes were far away.“Where were you just now?” I got the flowers and met Anaki. From the look on your face, you must have met the brother that made me black out, and punished me by hiding their words in my memories. They will only come out when something pulls the memory out of me. It’s all very confusing and I’m tired. Let’s get back.” Dove said. “Is there anything else you heard, learned, or saw up there that could help us decode what’s going on here?” Stryxx asked. “Later, these don’t live long after they have been picked, so we have under an hour to get them back.” Dove handed one to Stryxx and headed back to the opening they fell through. _--_--_ “Are they supposed to smell this way? They were heavenly before, now, not so much.” Stryxx plugged his nose. “I’m hoping someone back at the house knows what to do with them.” D

Madness Decends 37. The Decision
“What the hell do you think you’re doing? Back away now. Briar is mine now.” Troy growled, pulling Briar behind him. “Are you really that stupid to believe you could mean anything to Briar? Let her emerge and decide who she chooses herself, no amulets, nothing to give either of us an advantage, just good old fashioned Nature decides?” Rei offered. “That sounds fair to me. I’m going through a lot of changes, I know what everyone means to me now, but after Kitsune, I’ll be different, I afraid I won’t be the same Briar.” She frowned. “You will be the same Briar, with a little more authority, and you will be able to knock just about anyone on their asses!” Rei smiled, winking. “Super! I’ll become a bully then? I don’t want to be anything like Alyssa, so don’t expect it.” She looked at Rei. “As for you, Troy. Your envy and jealousy are going to end up pushing me away. They aren’t attractive traits to have. These traits are flawed.” Briar smiled. Rei could see Briar wasn’t going to ge
Madness Decends 36. The Good, Bad, & Even Worse
Taking a few seconds to breathe, letting her brain catch up, and compose something smart to say, rather than confusing the situation even more. By the end of this conversation the connection between them would forever be altered. This has always been the part Kitsune hated the most. It has happened many times in her past. She came between twins of every generation her entire life, which was long. This time was different somehow, with the three of them only because Briar is a brand new human vessel, never tested, never pushed to fight like she should have by now. “Your sin of taking me against my will has been forgiven, Troy. I will not forget this so easily, but, I will forgive and understand your actions, thus far.” She said. “Your duality is going to be wicked if you train in properly. That’s What I love about you, Kitsune, you’re real and not much bothers you.” Troy said. “Thank you, Troy.” The way she touched Troy’s hand, Rei had seen enough. He stood, looking down at the two,
Madness Decends 35. The New Wolves
Caius, Misha, and Moon all crouched just beyond KingBear’s house perimeter, Misha and Moon laughing at their lack of defenders. Caius shook his head at them wondering how they had managed to live list long. “You’re too loud. Legacies just don’t train the same way as the old days. I miss those days.” Caius whispered, crouching between them. “You may have taken care of the small fries out here, but there is a secondary wave that will consist of high ranking Alphas we are closing in on now.” He scolded.“We are half a mile away from that house. How long will it take for each eave to run back and report?” Moon asked. “Not long. Oh, as an added benefit, we don’t know when they shuffle posts either. I’m going to assume its 2 to 3 hours away, so we have the time to do some damage. Use it wisely, and do things safe. We are here for a 3 day look around, are on a limited kill order, it sucks I know. Animikii just wants them to start believing he is descending on them enough to shake their fou
Madness Decends 34. Troy & Rei
Rei Came into Bri’s room, sat by her bed as he had for the last few days. “How you feeling today, Bri?” Smiling as soon as she opened her eyes, “Hey, you. I never thought of you as a morning person.” She laughed. “I’m not either, but I can have coffee, you, can’t.” He teased her. "That’s a low blow, Strauss.” She giggled, coughing as she did.“Are you ok? I know I’m the last person you want to talk about what happened to you, but I’m offering my shoulder and ear.” Rei smiled down at her. "Why are you being so nice? You’re going to confront Troy, aren’t you? I warn you, he protected me when I had nobody there. He took my side, treated me with kindness,” Rei cut her off. “The amulets you two wear are to keep your true feelings in check, you and I are mates. I know you don’t feel it now because of the amulets.” Rei explained. “I’m all new to this whole wolf thing, where there’s a powerful wolf inside me that will emerge in under a week, changing my life, how I feel, what I want. I
Madness Decends 33. Veil's Attack Dogs
After hanging up with Kyle, Rak-Sha took off in hot pursuit of the three wolves that were on the way to the KingBear home.“You both know we have a tail, right?” Caius asked the two of them. “Who is it? Kyle’s wolves are all surrounding his home, who would be left to follow us?” Misha asked. “One from Veil, like me. An ancient, dangerous, blood thirsty Eternal, Rak-Sha. He has an Alpha spirit unlike any other I have seen. He has managed to submit every wolf he comes in contact with so far, including Draken, Kitsune, and myself. Not just us, either, our wolves submitted as well.” Caius exclaimed. “That makes me feel a little nervous.” Misha said. “It should. If you’re not prepared for someone like Rak-Sha, you will be dead before you knew he was even there.” Ciaus warned. “Stillness will prove to be more deadly than if we keep moving.” He added, waking away. “This should be a party.” Misha mumbled under her breath. _--_--_ Kyle stood, running every senerio, trying his best to de
Madness Decends 32. Briar's Home!
Walking into Briar’s dark and silent room, Kyle looked at his daughter laying there, bruised, broken, and unable to speak because he and Noni had only wanted her to grow up to know life before service and duty. This is the repayment for her upbringing. He sat on the chair that was at her bedside and picked up one of her small hands, held it to his forehead then to his lips. When her eyes opened and saw him there, she opened her eyes wide, rubbing them to make certain she wasn’t dreaming. When the tears started falling he swept her up in a bear hug like he would when she was a child and hurt herself. “Bri, I am sorry for all of this. You should have been informed from the very start. Your mom and I only wanted you to grow up knowing life so you could become the one to save us all. That kind of stress should not be put on a child, ever.” He whispered. She placed her hands on either side of her father’s face. She shook her head, indicating there was nothing to forgive. “Troy?” Bri his
Madness Decends 31. Homecoming
Scythe jumped off the Jeep before they were in the driveway, sprinting past them to ready places for the injured. Bursting through the door, Noni and Shae were the only ones there. “Where is the guard we left here for you?” “About 20 minutes after you all left, a Quad arrived, surrounded all of us, observed our guard, and took all of us by surprise. I need a rest. I used a lot of energy using my aura this time. A few of them got away. We haven’t had the chance to go off in search of who’s left or what direction they ran in. Sorry.” Shae collapsed, finally being able to breathe, relax, and let her guard down.“I’ve got you!’ Tris went to her, swept her up in his arms, and took her to the room across from Noni’s room. “Dove, bring Briar up to her room, and put Troy in the spare room at the end of the hall. I want Link, up there, one at each door.” Chief said, relinquishing control back to Kyle. “Take as much time as you need. We aren’t going anyw
Madness Decends 30. Under the Night Sky
Ten minutes after Noni received Briar’s call, she had informed everyone she could, while Shae called others. “Why isn’t she picking up? She just called!” Noni started hyperventilating. “Noni! Slow down. Briar is in enemy territory now. Chief and the others know how to handle situations like these. Let’s get ready for her homecoming?” Shae took Noni’s phone away.As soon as Dove heard the words out of Chief’s mouth, “Briar is alive, and she’s with another wolf, Troy about a block and a half to our,” an explosion forced them to the ground, as 2 cars exploded, one from behind, one in front of them. “What the hell was that?” Dove shouted, hands over his ears. Scythe stood, released his aura, sending typhoon like winds around them, clearing the fire and smoke to reveal 3 wolves in front of him. “Avery, Madox, and Kit. Hello again. These are the three Draken sent to assist Rei and Artemis right after Briar disappeared. My friends, why
Madness Decends 29. RUN!
Troy walked at a normal pace, to avoid suspicion, but when he got to the hallway before the floor where Briar was being held he broke out into a silent sprint to her room. Stopping short of the hallway to her door to listen as he heard 2 male voices and a female one in front of her door. “A doesn’t trust him after his little outburst in the meeting.” One of the males laughed. “He was the perfect patsy, Animikii was right.” The other male said. “If she weren’t into the ladies, Moon would bee perfect!” they laughed. Breathe, Troy. He told himself. You can’t get her out if you’re too pised to think straight. “What’s with his sister, though? If I had the chance to get my 15 minutes, I’d do it, family or not. When her training begins, I will be her first teacher, she’s going to beg me to stop!” one male laughed. “Maybe A will give us a fancy necklace so we can have our way with her as Troy has.” The other replied. “You two will
