~Avery~We sat there and talked, a few moments were silent and peaceful-something we all seemed to appreciate.”Isn’t it hard for you, being away from Carlos?” Natasha scoffed and looked at the clock. ”He will be here in a few hours, there is no way that man would let me leave without coming here to find me. He’s with the pack during the days and then comes here at night. On the other hand, I wouldn't ever forgive him if he didn't come, we need each other and a single night away is one night too many,” ”I hear that,” Amber said lowly.She missed Malia and I understood her. Being away from James before was excruciating and considering they weren't marked either, the fear of losing the bond was there, I knew it because I had felt it too. So I could imagine the pain Amber was going through, only hers was worse because she had no idea when- or if- they'd meet again. But I would make sure they did.”How do you think the war will go?” She was asking Natasha.”Had this been another war, f

”WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?” James roared as he slammed his fists down on his desk. His eyes were glowing and Blade had surfaced, just as pissed as his human. Fredric, Alex, and Raven were there too and I could see the same amount of worry and anger in Alex's eyes. Raven, however, seemed madder at Amber so I was glad that she too got some of the heat.I winced and stepped forward. ”We went to see Natasha,” I looked back and saw Natasha standing there looking as cool as ever, not bothered a single bit by the tension that was growing. I groaned and looked back at my mate.”There is a war happening any day now and you decide to leave the pack without a single word? How stupid are you, Avery?” Alex spat his words and his hands were shaking, I could tell he was just as mad as James but his anger wasn't justified to me and rather it pissed me off. ”You’re the one to talk? You haven't spoken a word to me ever since the night we saved James, you've ignored me and you chose to ignore ma

~Avery~My patience was running thin and this chaotic group of idiots, whom I loved very much, weren't helping the situation.James took long slow strides towards me and stopped only when my chest was pressed up against his. ”There she is,” he whispered before walking past me and taking a seat. ”Throwing blame and screaming your guts out won't get you anywhere. We understand that we fucked up, and I am very, truly, undeniably sorry for the pain we caused you by leaving, but we had a good reason for it. I told Amber what I’ve been going through and I'm going to give you all a re-cap.” I sighed and looked at all of their faces, one by one they all started paying me their undivided attention and I no longer feared to tell the truth because I now knew how to handle it.”I’ve been fighting this darkness within me, a growing cloud of pain and hate, something that was making me angry and fearful. It was what came over me when James was on the deathbed, it was why I acted out of anger and f

~Avery~ I was standing outside Alex's door, I took a deep breath before knocking three times. When he didn't answer, I turned the handle and let the door slide open. Laying on the bed with Raven on top of him, I could tell he knew I was there in the room. I cleared my throat and Ravens' head turned, her eyes widened and her cheeks became flustered as she saw me. I lifted a brow and placed my hands on my hips. ”May I have a moment with him?” I said and waited for Raven to leave. She hurriedly picked up her clothes and ran out of the room. Alex scoffed and moved up on the bed, resting his back against the wall. ”You’re on fire with the ’ruiner of good moments’, a new nickname maybe?””Why would I need a new nickname when the old one ceased to exist after my first mistake?” He looked taken aback, but I wasn't going to coddle or sugarcoat anything. He was acting like a child and it was time he started seeing the truth. ”One mistake and you turned your back against me. One mistake a

~Avery~”This wasn't out of spite, Avery,” Natasha spoke after twenty minutes of torturous silence.”Why did you take her away?” ”I didn’t, she’s still there only she is dormant so you can't sense her and vice versa,” I sighed and shook my head. ”But why?”Another few moments passed where she didn't speak. I couldn't tell whether it was to build suspense or if she just wanted to get on my nerves, but she was succeeding with the ladder. ”This darkness you’re feeling, has it grown since James told you about your wolf?” Natasha was looking ahead as we walked deeper into the forest. I looked at James and he offered a small smile before turning his head and looking forward. He reached out and grabbed my hand, giving it a light squeeze.I looked down on our entwined fingers, still in awe at how perfectly matched they were. A mate really was your other half, one that fits you perfectly.”Yes, it’s gotten worse,” James stiffened upon hearing my answer and his hand gripped tighter around m

~Amber~I still didn't know how to feel about Natasha taking Xena away from Avery. I couldn't even imagine what that must feel like, to have your wolf gone from your mind and having to rely on human strength to survive. But then again, Avery wasn't normal.Xena was dormant so that Avery could get a better handle on her witchy side, wielding magic and all that. If Avery masters her magic and then has Xena as well, she’ll be one of- if not the most powerful Luna ever to exist. I smiled as I drew the blanket tighter around myself. I was sitting in the common area, staring at the dark tv screen. I was going to watch a movie but then advised against it when after twenty minutes I still couldn't choose. Malia was good at that, at choosing something and going with it right away.Stella, how are you?’I miss mate’Me tooI and Stella were both depressed from our mate being gone. I hadn't heard anything from her and now that Xena was gone, she couldn't contact Malia's wolf.I was getting agit

~Amber~”Why are you a mess?” I was confused, too me it was obvious and Raven had been here for a while now, seeing a lot of the shit that had unfolded, how could she ask me that?”Talking about it, saying it out loud will take some of its power away, it will take some of the weight of you,”I sighed and my shoulders slumped.”It’s just everything…First, it was Crow that we fought and we won but there was loss and sorrow amongst us still from that day. I found Malia- my mate- and suddenly everything felt right again, like a part of me had been missing and she was the piece that made me whole. Malia left, leaving me in pieces, then she came back, the whole story of James getting sick and Avery going kamikaze on all of us, then she saved him- Avery saved my brother's life and I will be forever grateful for that. Then Malia left and Avery got weird before she told me what had happened and we went to Natasha who didn't have any better news. My brother chose to go along with an idiotic pla

~Avery~I had been cooped up in my bedroom for the past two days, James came when it was time to sleep, and then he was gone in the morning. I was awake when he came, and I was awake when he left, I couldn't sleep nor think knowing there was a lethal distance growing between the two of us. He and I were supposed to be able to go through everything together, all ups and downs but I couldn't wish to have him near me right now. I hurt him, I hurt the man I live to love. I had almost hurt a lot of people over the last month and who was to say that I wouldn’t still?James tried talking to me but I didn't respond, he tried explaining why they did what they did, why he ordered everyone to ignore me, and why he and Natasha had concocted these plans behind my back. Natasha had tried speaking to me as well but they were both wasting their breaths, there was nothing I could respond with that would make either of us feel better about this situation.I stayed cooped up in here knowing that everyo
