Landon wakes up to noise outside. Dazed with sleep, he jumps up and rushed outside ready to attack an intruder. He suddenly stop at the sight of a big muscled man sitting comfortably on a porch chair. The silence between the men are palpable as they are sizing each other up. Landon instantly knows who this man may be with his aura filling the air. This is an Alpha wolf. Instinctively he lets his aura out aswell to let him know that he won't be intimidated even though he is on their territory unknowingly. Jarek blackwood, studies Landon intently, he can smell the scent of a shifter. But can't point out what, he definitely isn't a dragon shifter. Even though wolves don't like to mingle with other species they know of them and they cross paths every now and then. They forged a alliance with a hoard of dragons when the leader, a majestic golden dragon landed in their territory after a hunter shot it down. There are Vampires aswell as witches in this area but they never bother anyone.
Tessa wakes up early with the sound of birds outside her window with the sun shining bright outside. She feels dazed, but refreshed. As she stands up she feels no pain in her leg. She looks down and see the cast is ruined. 'I will need to find a dr today to get this checked' she mumbles to herself. 'yes you do, you don't need that thing anymore' Tessa is startled by the reply in her head. "That's it. I'm crazy! Hearing voices now?" she says louder. 'No sweetheart, you're not crazy' another voice chimes. Tessa tenses up. Unsettled by this new development. She felt so good after waking up, and now she has voices in her head. "If I'm not losing my mind then who are you? I'm hearing seperate voices with no one in the room. So please explain!" Tessa says louder, and her fear is rising, it feels like she's going to have a panick attack. 'we can't explain now, but you will find out who we are soon. Please be patient, you are one special girl.' the first voice says leaving Tessa b
As Tessa walk to the park more freely without being constrained by the cast she feels vibrant. Although confused about the events of the morning but decide to not rhink about it too much. Now she will be able to explore the town, go hiking into the forest. Taking in the nature on her own. She feels drawn to the forest for some reason. It's like an urgent calling in her. As she walks down the path, she sees a familiar face sitting on the bench. Deep in thought with a worried expression on his handsome face, she eyes him from a distance and decided she really liked what she saw, but remembering the weird feelings she got when thwir hands tought she hesitantly stood still not ready to face him again after she ran off like that. 'Maybe tomorrow' she mumbles to herself. Realizing it became a habit 'Just go to him, grab him and give him a kiss' the one voice says in her head and the other just let out a huff. Tessa groaned at the untimely comments that pops up in her head. 'Being bold
Earlier that morningJarek wakes up tired. Kane kept him up all night pacing up and down in his mind. Just after midnight he went for a run. Thinking that Kane would be calmed after a run. He ran around the forest for 2 hours before giving Jarek back control. After just a few hours of sleep he wakes up ready to go see Tessa. He grabs a quick breakfast he went out to the hotel. With the way they co-exist with the humans the pack members are allowed to work in town. Just as it happens Eliza one of the pack members work at the hotel and she gives Jarek a spare key. He walks up to the room and listens for any sound coming from inside. 'Did she leave town?' he asks Kane'Her scent is still too strong, I don't think she's gone for good' Kane says irritated not being able to see her. Jarek went inside and her scent calms him and Kane immediately. He sits on the bed and pick up her pillow, holding against him and inhale deeply. Her scent will be on him for a while. It will keep them both
Jarek spends the whole afternoon reading up about hybrids, using all resources he can find. It is nightfall when his Beta Ben knocks on his door. "It's open!" Jarek says. Relieved to have a small distraction and maybe some help. Ben walks in and sees Jarek's desk in disarray of books and a tired man behind the desk. The last time he saw his Alpha like this was when they were attacked various time but couldn't point out the origin of it. He spent weeks trying to find the culprit between all the fighting. Finally after they all worked together they found that it was the neighbouring pack masking there scents and tracks. They wanted more land and thought to attack would be the best way. But they underestimated Jarek and his perseverance. "We haven't seen you all day, anything wrong?" Jarek looks up seeing his best friend looking at him worried. They were best friends from birth. He trusted this man with his life. But feels reluctant to share news about Tessa. But his presen
Bright and early in the morning Ben knocks on Jarek's door, needing the information to continue with his mission. Jarek needs his peace of mind and the only way to get that is to find the answers to the questions he have. The pack needs their Luna. Ben personally think that Jarek’s reasoning is stupid, the moon goddess decided that this girl is his mate, no matter her origin. To judge her and want to reject her just because of narrow minded ancestors is unfair. He knocks on the door and hears a shuffle inside. Opening the door he stares at Jarek. He looks even worse than last night. "what is it Ben?" Jarek asks annoyed"Cut the tone Jarek, I need the girl's information if you want me to investigate" Ben says frustrated. Jarek growls lowly"I may be your friend Ben but I'm still your alpha" He turns around and walk back to his bed with Ben following. He gives everything he has on Tessa and Ben looks shocked"So I have to find a girl, with just knowing how she looks like by descripti
Dutch is pacing up and down in his office. So far there is no trace of his girl. She vanished into thin air. His trackers are widely spread over the country and still not even a small trace to where she is. He looks at the crystal ball made to see the maturity of her animals. It was still a steady swirling of the black and white smoke. "Soon you will be mine, you can't hide forever, once I find you, you will become queen of the Dark Realm. We will have our freedom and rule all species together." He says to the crystal ball picking it up and look at it intently. Suddenly the black smoke move faster and became more dense and all you can see is n few light stripes of white smoke. It moves into a small ball and it burst open being filled with gold sparkle . It forms a small tornado like form in the middle with the white smoke now circling it. "What the f#%& is happening!" He puts the ball down and call their warlock Christian through a mind link"Something is wrong with the crystal wh
Tessa opens her eyes and once again her body aches all over. She looks around and finds herself in a room she doesn't know and she jumps up with a speed she never knew she had. She looks down and see she has a shirt on that doesn't belong to her. She fears the worst and she tries to remember the previous day. Suddenly she hears footsteps outside the room getting closer and she smells a mixture of musk and cedarwood. It calms her and confuse her at the same time. She looked around and grabs the lamp next to the bed and stands behind the door. As soon as it opens she uses all her strength and swing it towards the intruder hitting his head. To her own surprise he falls down instantly unconscious. She look down and realise it is Landon. "oh s#*&!" she shouts when she sees blood on the back of his head. She scatter around and see the bathroom and run towards it stunned with how fast she's moving. She grabs a towel and head back to Landon. Kneeling down next to him she holds the towel
Tessa wakes up with the sun shining high. The trip they took and the magic she used drained her, but she can't lose momentum now. There is too much to learn, too much to do. She takes a long shower trying to soothe her aching body, gets dressed and head down to find something to eat. One thing she learned about the packhouse, there is always food available. She is disappointed to see that the men isn't there waiting for her. One thing she learned the padt few days are that she has deep feelings for both of the men. She dread the thought of losing one of them, but that is not how life works. She walks down the stairs and stop as soon as she hear an annoying voice around the corner. "Daddy said he will handle this bitch. She won't live long enough to take her place im this pack" "What is he going to do?" Another voice asks "I'm not sure, but he said I just have to be patient. He had a setback at the hospital with the witches but he has a plan" Allison says and a cold shiver ru
The next morning Stefan leads everyone to Astoria, their new home and the rest is ready to set out on their quest. They decide to head out to the bear clan. They aren't difficult to find but rhey are not the friendliest. Once they arrive the guards immediately shift and is standoffish. But with Folkor and Valory no one dare to attack first. The leader steps through and introduce himself as Tate, he is arrogant and nonchalant. He eyes Tessa as prey and seems annoyed as Folkor blocks his view. He is the only one not in bear form. "Little girl, tell your dragon to back off." Tessa steps forward. "He isn't my guard. He is king Folkor to you. We are here with a proposal." "I'm not interested in anything you have to say. We live here on our own, not bothering anybody and you show up looking like you want to attack us with your small army. If I can give my advise break free from dragons. They are not to be trusted." he says and Tessa realize this will be tougher than she thought.
The days after Landon made rhe announcement that they will move is full of excitement. Folkor and Jarek has sent orders to start the preperation and construction. In a small amount of time they formed their own family. The pride has accepted everyone but is still wary of Gina and keeps her at arms length and it bothers Tessa, but Gina just smile and wink at her. She has something uo her sleeve that will convince everyone that she can be trusted. Early the next morning the other three kings arrive. They look annoyed at the fact that they need to travel without much knowledge about the situation. Stafan shows them to the secret room where Landon awaits them with Tessa and the rest of the crew. "your highness' I'm glad you could make it on such short notice" King Andrew of the North acknowledges him but looks suspicious. "No problem, I see the pride is packing up. Any reason for that? Do you have problems with hun..." He stops mid sentence and sniff the air and his eyes land on Gina
Landon walks outnof the room to find his friends and he sess them all standing around uncomfortable. His pride eyes them suspiciously and he rolls his eyes. They have lived apart from civilization for far too long. It is time they are reintroduced into the world, bit before he van reach his group he hears a ruffle in the bushes and is engulfed in a big hug. "Brother, you don't know how happy I am to have you back! Father was unbearable and I wss afraid that if I didn't leave I would kill him." Landon laughs "Good to see you too Stefan. Let me introduce you to my friends... And Mate" Stefan steps back and look at him wide eyed. "You really found her? Dad mentioned it but was so vague that I doubted it." Both turn to the group and Landon introduce them all. "So what are you doing here?" Stefan asks and Landon chuckles, his brother, always nosy and impatient. "I'm calling a meeting right now to talk to everybody. You will know soon enough" Landon says and immediately opens a mi
"Why did your Father react that way when he saw Gina?" Tessa ask and Landon looks at Gina apologetically "Witches have been hunting us for years" Tessa gasps "What? But why?" Gina clears her throat. "Because some covens believs that slaying a cat and extracting their essence will give them more power. Which isn't true. Witches can only gain power by channeling their magic deeper. Al it did was to turn them dark, take away a part of their soul" Landon looks at Gina, this is the first time he heard anything like this. Everyone thought is was true, but even with what she said it doesn't change the fact that they are still being hunted. When they hear the door open they al turn to see who it is simultaneously, and Logan steps into the room. "everyone will be here in three days, but they won't be happy to se her" He points to Gina. "Well that's too bad dad, she is here because she is helping us. She forges the bond that will help us fight the demon lord" Landon says and Logan turns t
Gina rolls her eyes and step forward. "Now what do you need?" She asks facing Folkor. "We need you to help forming and allegiance. The real unbreakable bond" He says and her eyes widens "Is it really that serious?" She asks and Folkor nods. "Okay, now Tessa step forward. Everyone here including her mates need to perform the ritual" She waves Folkor closer as he is the nearest and takes his and Tessa's hands and put it together like a handshake, and place a chalice underneath their hands "Declare your allegiance" Folkor takes a deep breath. "I King Folkor, king of Dragons of the west and leader of blue mountain lair hereby declare my allegiance to Queen Tessa, Queen and Guardian of all" a white line forms around their hands and transforms into a chain. Gina take a need and prick their fingers with a needles. As soon as both drops fall into the chalice it swirls together and forms a gold liquid, and both of them feels a connection forming between them. Any ill feelings th
Landon sits next to Tessa and she rests her head against his shoulder, breathing in his scent calming her down. "This is too much. How am I suppose to fill the position I'm was forced in?" A Tear runs down her cheek. She has a living fear of failing everybody. That she will be the one causing the world as they know it to end. She is a guardian, a queen of all. How will she ever be able to handle it. 'My sweet girl, for now you just have to get control of yourself. We are not a full guardian yet. We are still like a puzzle that need to be put together. Aurora and I can summon full guardian powers at timd, but it drains us, like the marking. That is why it is a good thing Dutch didn't have us when we are fully evolved. He gained power but not as much as he wanted and needed. ' Luna says comforting her and Tessa gasps ' Do you know what he wanted my blood for? ' she asks as she completely forgot about it ' No we don't. But we need to find out and find a work around for it' Aurora
Valory quickly returns with everyone they asked for and as soon as she lands she shifts back and runs into Ben's arms. As Tessa is standing close to them she sees the mark on the crook of their necks and it peaks her intrest, and she make a mental note to asks Valory if she can see it later. Folkor steps closer and take Tessa's hand in his and kiss the wrist. "Good morning my Queen" Jarek steps closer and growls "Oh stop it, I'm not making a move on her. I can clearly see she is taken, but she is our Queen." He says annoyed at Jarek. "Why do you call me that?" Tessa asks confused. She isn't a queen by far. "We can discuss it where it is more private" He says as a crowd is starting to gather around them. Even after all this time they searched for Tessa the pack stilm isn't used to seeing the dragons up close. The eighth of them walk into the packhouse and Jarek leads them to his office. He will need a bigger sound proof space if he is going to host meetings like this he tho
Tessa wakes up feeling refreshed, and both Luna and Aurora is buzzing with energy. 'What is with the two of you?' she asks ash she takes a shower. She slept like the dead when they returned, that whole run took all of her energy. 'we feel complete. The bond has finally been completed.' Aurora says sounding like someone on a sugar rush. 'what do you mean finally completed?' she asks and no one answers her. She walk to the sink to brush her teeth when she sees her mark and she lets out a deafening scream and both Jarek and Landon burst through the door. "TESSA! WHERE ARE YOU?" Both calls for her and when they rush into the bathroom they see her completely naked. Both of them freezes in their steps and stares at her. "What the hell guys?" Tessa asks in shock and both snap out of their trance and quickly head back to the bedroom and Tessa grabs a towel wrapping it around her and walk to the bedroom. "Can anyone tell me why the two of you storms into my room like lunatics witho
