“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

“Knock, knock! Briar? I come bearing gifts.” Troy smiled as she opened the door with furrowed eyebrows. “What is all this?” Bri laughed, taking the big box from him so he could come fully into the room. Setting the box down on the cot she looked at his face. He had a goofy expression on it. “What is that look for?” Bri asked.“Open this first.” He handed he a small, flat box. "Why?” she asked, looking at his eyes. “Every girl needs a special trinket to make them feel special. I thought you would like it. The stone reminds me of your eyes when you get angry.” He smiled. “That’s an odd compliment to give, what is this for anyway? My birthday has already been taken from me. These gifts are pointless.” She sat next to the box, examining her bracelet. “You’re birthday is something that needs to be celebrated. Just because you’re not home, or surrounded by friends and family, or have a cake, some balloons that never survive the party, and pony rides!" He laughed at the smile she kept

“Artemis! This isn’t the place for a nap, brother!” turning him over, Rei jumped back after seeing his brother’s face. Artemis’s eyes were wide open, the silver in them had gone black, his face growing player by the second. “What happened, Artie?” he shook his shoulders. “What the hell happened here? I didn’t see him get hit.” Tris was at Rei’s side. “I don’t know. He just fell.” Rei exclaimed. "He was the one who was supposed to grab the blossom, but he wasn’t the brother that was chosen to pick the blossoms.” Anaki’s voice played on his head. “He shouldn’t be here. I was the one last time, but he wasn’t worthy of ascending the Garden, that’s why I went up. Tris get him back down. I’ll get the blossom, Link can wait for me.” Rei stood and went up to the blossom and plucked it from the ground. As soon Rei pulled on it, shit hit the fan all at once. ”Tris! Get Artie to the entrance? Link and I have to rake another route.” Rei yelled ahead of them. “You sure?” Tris called back. Co

“How could you not tell us that we have a brother?” Rei yelled, slamming the letter Lyria wrote on the table, making the all jump. Carefully picking the piece of paper, he read the words he thought he’d never have to say. Eyes closed, he set the letter back down. “I never wanted you to know of your mother’s scandal with my brother, Anatashi. All knew what she had done and what it meant.” Draken dropped into the nearest chair “Rosalynn and Anatashi? That’s one I did no ever see coming! I am sorry, Draken.” Chief consoled him. “What I did to prevent their first child, a son named Animikii, the Thunderous, from taking Artemis’s status as Blood Heir away, was the worst thing a man could ever do. Now, my secret comes back to haunt me.” Like Kyle, Draken sat in the chair nearest him, his head dropping to the table. “Father!” Artemis shot forward to Draken’s side. The second he touched Draken’s shoulder, Artemis was thrown across the room, landing on the floor by Rei’s feet. “That’s not

Animikii’s War Council sat in the Red Room waiting for Animikii to join them to discuss new directions, address old friends and enemies, and where this plan needs to head in the last week until Kitsune’s return.“Thank you all for making time to meet. Our plan is running full steam, but there are a few factors that have changed.” Animikii looked at the wolves and continued. “There have been a few new players introduced since our last meeting. They are Alphas of the other generations, my father’s wolf, Scythe has finally come to challenge me.” He sat in his seat heavily, it seems everyone was getting tired at this point. “That’s a bed thing, A. Your father has been nothing but trouble for us. Take him out first, then we won’t have anyone that would get in our way.” Misha suggested. “Easy for you to say, girl. Why is she here, Animikii? Her brother’s role in this is the more important.” Avery asked. “My sister’s role in this has been vital to getting Briar and Kitsune this far witho

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

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 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
