~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

The rope was hanging still from the ceiling. My eyes were fixated on it, my hands clenched together and my jaw as tense as it had ever been. ’Make the rope move’ she said. I had been trying to do so for over an hour and the closest I got to making it move was when the door opened and a gust of wind blew in, making it dangle back and forth slightly. The annoyance was starting to get to me, to handle your magic was to simultaneously handle your emotions and your thoughts- which might've sounded easier than it was. I tried different techniques, I tried closing my eyes and envisioning it, I tried holding my hands out allowing the power to exude out through my fingertips. Neither had worked and so here we were, with the third and final try. James was standing behind me, chewing on cashews as I tried to focus. He had barged in after precisely one hour and as I assumed he would- he cemented himself to the spot and refused to leave. I groaned and turned around, locking my eyes with his as

~Avery~”It’s good to see you again-” He stopped mid-sentence and narrowed his eyes, a devilish smirk creeping up as he made a ’tsk’ sound with his tongue.”-Congratulations,” he said. I was left puzzled and once I had regained the ability to speak, I tilted my head to the side, crossed my arms over my chest, and looked him dead in the eye.”Congratulations on what?” I asked him.”Aha… I see. It isn't for me to tell although it explains a lot about your predicaments. Nevertheless, I don't have much time with you, so ask away.” Crow lowered his body, it looked like he was sitting down, and from nothing- a chair emerged on which he sat. How in the world did he do that?”Please, have a seat.” He said and gestured with his hand. I looked in front of him and saw how tiny bits of dust were gathering and forming a chair, centered in front of him. ”I-” I was speechless and lightheaded, perhaps sitting down wasn't a bad idea.I took a seat and swallowed the lump in my throat. All of this was

~Avery~I was sitting on the edge of my bed, my face buried in my hands. A soft knock sounded on the door but my mind and thoughts were elsewhere.After James had told me that I was pregnant my first reaction was to run. So I came up here and hid away from the people who had all cheered in glee and congratulated me. They all knew this major thing but didn't tell me. The thing, however, that bothered me most was that I didn't figure it out on my own. What does this say about my motherly instincts and how will I ever be able to raise a child?The bed sunk down beside me and a soft, lean hand came up to caress my head. ”How are you doing?” Amber asked softly as she stroked my hair in a soothing motion. ”I’m eighteen, Amber, how am I supposed to raise a child?” I lifted my head and looked at her through my sniffles.”You won't be alone, we will all be here. And you’re going to be an amazing mother,” ”How do you know?” ”Because you’ve done a hell of a good job looking after us since

~Amber~Raven's answer was echoing in my mind. There was no way for me to stop them, I hadn't expected there to not be a single way. I bit down and started composing different scenarios in my head of what might happen and how I could win but it didn't end well in any of them. ”They aren't just regular vampires, Amber, they’re royals. They've been around for a long time and learned to adjust to the things that can harm them. They're stronger, faster, and more dangerous than your regular vampire.””Sure, but there has to be some way to win over them, right? I mean, they can't be immortal,””They’re not,” ”So what can I do?””Nothing, Amber, there is nothing you can do. They have the upper hand in every way. If you want Malia back, you need a thoroughly thought-out plan. You can't just barge in their head first and believe that you'll get out alive just because you’re a strong werewolf, it’s not how it works. Your strength can be measured with other werewolves but not with another spec
