ElioThere is a ringing sound in my ears. My eyes focused on the barrel pointed towards me. A blinding pain radiates from my chest so unbearable it’s hard to breathe. Patting my shirt, feeling it sticky with blood as I gaze at my palms. I search my body for the source of where to blood came from, not able to find an entry wound for the bullet. I can smell the metallic taste of blood. It’s familiar but I can’t think why? Crimson liquid pools at my feet, a thick red colour covering the beige, dusty street.My eyes trace the blood, looking for the source as agony claws at my chest. I see a small, fragile body crumpled in the ground mere inches from my feet. Little wolf?No.No, it can’t be. She was standing behind me with Katie. How did she even move so fast? I didn’t even see her. No, it’s not her. I pull on the thread of our bond, hoping it will give me the hope I need. A shiver runs down my spine when I realise the pain I feel isn’t mine but hers. I focus on her hearing a faint heartb
ElioI stood outside whilst the doc and his team took Kara in for surgery. The clocked tick by slower than a snail as I waited. I blocked myself off from everything, hoping that she would pull through. She wasn’t just an ordinary wolf. She could do this. The only thing stopping me from rushing into the room and roaring at the doc and his team was that I could feel the bond. It was faint, but it was still there. I could hear the steady beeping of the machines as the doc prized a silver pair of clippers into her shoulder. She looked as if she was asleep still. The longer this took, the more anxious it was making me feel. I can’t lose her.I stood, my heart thumping as the machines started blaring. Chaos ensured as nurses fluttered around the room, grabbing tools and meds. One picked up the biggest syringe I had ever seen inputting a visceral liquid before pushing it into her forearm. It burnt. I could feel it entering her body, heightening the pain through the bond. I tried to lend her
Elio Three weeks later I sat in my office rereading the list of names I had wilted down to potential Jamal loyalists. There were about ten names. Each one having a tie to either the Eclipse Pack or to Jamal. I was hoping I would get the last piece of the puzzle in a few moments. She was late, of course. Always is, annoyingly. I look up at my father’s portrait. I doubt he ever had to deal with this bullshit when he was alpha. Realising I needed a shave, I scratched my chin as the long hair was making my skin itch. I gaze back at the list once more, scanning each of the names again. Some of these men have never caused me to question their loyalty. They have served me for years joining my pack either because their mates are here. Some I have even grown up with. I hear a rapped knock on the door before the clacking of heels echoes on the hardwood floor. “You wanted to see me, alpha?” She waltz’s over to my desk as I hastily move the paper with the names to my desk draw. Her long red n
Kara I blink my eyes back, feeling a searing pain near my chest. Agony courses through me, intensifying with each beat of my heart. Goddess, that hurt. My eyes peer open, struggling against a blinding light that engulfs my surroundings. The air is mysteriously silent, devoid of any sound or movement. As I scan the vast expanse of white, all I can see is my body engulfed in white flames licking at my skin. Am I dead? The last thing I remember is the split-second decision to protect Elio from the bullet’s path. I never expected this outcome. I thought, as a goddess, I would have been immune, like Cahya. Maybe the bullets affected me differently. As I try to move, a wave of dizziness washes over me, causing my legs to wobble and my body to sway. The pain in my chest intensifies, radiating through every nerve and muscle in my body. It feels as if a thousand fiery needles are piercing my skin, searing the flesh beneath. Gasping for air, my chest heaving, I clench my fists. So many quest
Kara Time moved differently here. I had no clue if I had been here for hours or days. Despite my desire to return to Elio and my family, I found myself plagued by numerous questions about my father and mother. I didn’t know if I would get this chance again, but I knew it wouldn’t last forever. I had learned about my father, Helios was the god of the sun extremely powerful and after they had an argument, he stole me from her placing several seals on me to suppress my powers, the fact I was a goddess and to stop her from finding me. I learnt he had cast a spell to send me from this world to be planted in the womb of my mother, making Aurora and me twins. He had already arranged with Richard Anderson about him becoming the ultimate alpha. Lies, of course. Whilst Helios sounded utterly vengeful and deadly, I didn’t miss how Selene, my mother the moon goddess, still spoke of him fondly. I had the sense that if the two could be a couple again, she would take it. To them they live for ete
KaraI gulp, feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand up on end. This is my father? My stomach is dropping by the second as my heart beats so fast I’m worried it will escape my chest. He doesn’t wait for me to come to him. I hear every footstep like a mini earthquake as he strides towards me. Our guests we have been dancing with scatter leaving me on my own as he comes closer. Selene repeatedly tries to pull him towards her, steering him away from me.“Helios, she’s my daughter. You won’t take her from me again!” she screeches as she pulls on him with all her strength. As he edges closer, I can feel the heat radiating from him. It reminds me of the sun in the crimson moon pack, warming my skin until it feels like it’s burning. Even my eyes feel itchy from the intense heat. When he stops in front of me, I brace myself for whatever may come next. “Become who you were born to be, my daughter,” he thunders as his large finger pokes my sternum. I feel his blazing heat enter my body,
GabrielI was headed to the Crimson Moon pack Elio had called me initially, explaining what had happened to Kara; I had advised she would need time to rest, but if she didn’t wake up after a week or two, then I would see what I can do. To ensure I had everything I might need, I packed a bag with all the equipment I could think of. After studying these bullets for sometime the main issue was the infection. The silver would cause a wolf.It was a lengthy drive as the greenery morphed into a desolate wasteland and, with it, brought the heat. Aurora was with me, looking rather pissed that I hadn’t told her about her sister to begin with. It’s not because I didn’t want to, but as she is pregnant this time again with twins, she didn’t need the added stress. Of course, that didn’t stop her from knowing something was wrong and badgering me until she knew what it was.Against my better judgment, here we were. Aurora, Caleb, Luca and I were on our way to visit her. Ethan and Sabastian had staye
Kara I walked through the sands as the beach sparkled, leading me home. I knew this was the way something deep inside was pulling me in this direction. The water soaked the ends of my gown, but I didn’t care. It was beautiful here, but nothing compared to my home with Elio. What is it they say home is where the heart is? My home is wherever Elio is. Still, I could enjoy the feel of the sand, the lapping of the water and twinkling of the stars as I made my way back. I had never been to the beach. I had seen the water in Bloodmoon Bay, but never actually felt the coolness of it against my skin. This was my moment to experience it. Perhaps one day Elio will take me. Even thinking of him leaves a deep ache in my chest. I have no idea how long I’ve been gone, for it could be minutes or hours or days. As I scan around the beautiful scenery, I walk a little further, staring up at the sky. I will find my way back here, eventually. I’d love to show Elio … although I don’t know if he would be
