As dad and I walked away from the packhouse I got a little more nervous. I didn’t know exactly what to expect from the other elementals. Dad seemed like he really liked them, but I also couldn’t help the expectations that I felt weighed on me from the previous Water, the fact they had to wait 17 years for me to gain my powers, and the fact I Was the first of my kind as a were-elemental.
“Relax honey,: dad said, noticing my fidgeting fingers. “They are kind, and very laid back. They are excited to meet you!”
I just nodded in response as we walked up his steps to his cabin. He opened the door and I took a deep breath before we walked in. Sitting on the couch was a man with curly blonde hair that looked slightly unkempt. He looked up as he heard us and I saw he had the most piercing green eyes. They were breathtaking and I couldn’t help but smile as I took them in. I then turned to see the slightly older, bu

I heaved a deep sigh as I once again missed the mark and tried to refocus my emotions.“You’re thinking too much, feel Raine, Feel.” I heard Gust’s voice echo from somewhere off to the side of me. It had been I dont even know how many days since he and Tell had arrived and I felt as if I was no closer to controlling my element. They disagreed, always telling me I was stronger already than they were years in, but I didn’t need strength without control. That would hurt my people. So here I was, in the cove on pack lands that was well hidden from the other pack members, trying to harness the water that called to my soul.“You need to find the one emotion that triggers it. And I can already tell you it isn’t anger, so focus on the one you know you have to but don’t want to,” Tell told me.I huffed. He was right. Anger wasn’t my emotion. Anger wasn’t tied to wa

I felt my eyes widen and his grip on me tightened as he saw me begin to panic.“I-I don’t know, what that entails, or what, will they want me, or be happy, or?” I felt the worry rising each second but my mate simply chuckled.“Baby we have been mated for weeks, really this is just a ceremony, you are already Luna to me and to them, this is to make it official and bond you with the pack. They adore you, I have had nothing but good comments on the way you drop in to help different areas like daycare, pack clinic, anywhere you are needed. You always have time to talk, you are compassionate and patient. You are a Luna, so don’t worry about whether you can do it, because you have been since you moved here in a lot of ways,” he told me softly as he stroked me cheek.I took in his words, thinking back to all the things he said that I’ve done and do. I wasn’t scared of being

{ Alex }I paced the office thinking of the evening to come. I was nervous, excited, all the emotions running over me but none as powerful as happiness. Every moment of every day I was thinking about Raine. In under a month I had gone from a single dad and Alpha to a lovesick puppy. And tonight was officially going to be my Luna. I had been through this ceremony before. I could feel the emotions of that night lingering in the back ground, my doubt as Caroline took the oath, the lack of emotion from the pack, nothing was right and I hated myself for ignoring the signs. Tonight on the other hand, the pack was busy and excited. Everyone had pitched in, the ceremony that was going to be a BBQ turned into a night of actual celebration thanks to my mother. We had dinner being served, a dance floor built, it was going to be a night for love and happiness and I couldn’t wait.I heard a knock on my door and Nel stepped in. He was dressed

{ Raine }I watched as Nel and Anna embraced each other and I couldn’t help the radiant feeling that came with knowing how happy they would be for each other. It was only when the feeling didn’t immediately fade that I began to realize it wasn’t my feelings only.We can feel their emotions, we are Luna now- my wolf explained... I thought it was mostly the biggest ones like death and birth, the addition or loss of a member, not their individual emotions- I asked back.We can feel more than most Lunas- she simply said before shutting me off.I hummed to myself as I thought over what my wolf had said. We didn’t communicate much, really I could feel her more than hear her, but lately I had noticed she was talking to me more in situations when I needed clarity that others couldn’t bring. This instance however she left me with question

Alex called for them to come in and as expected Nel came through the door. I watched him approach us and I couldn’t help the smirk when I saw his fresh mark and smelled Anna’s sweet scent mixed with his. But my smirk fell when I saw the look on his face.“What is it?” Alex asked first as I sat up straighter.“There was an attack,” Nel said.I wasn’t surprised, based on the feeling I was anticipating it, but the look on Nel’s face and his demeanor made me hesitate more.“What happened?” I asked as I stood from the chair and released my aura a bit on instinct.He briefly nodded his head out of repsect before he brought his eyes up to meet ours.“It wasn’t good, the rogues seemed to have joined forces the past few days when everything was quiet. They were organizing a bigger, a better strike

It was gone as soon as I opened my eyes but I had this vivid feeling from it, I could sense each tooth, the wolf itself that bit, it was… real in so many ways.”“You felt the attack too…” I whispered more to myself as I worked through my thoughts on the matter.“Nothing like you though, and why? I am not a special wolf like you are, I hold no other ability, so I don’t understand how that could have happened,” he told me with a serious expression. Clearly he was battling with the logic behind this. He didn’t believe it even though he felt it himself.His eyes glazed over a moment before he sighed.“Garcia is on the phone and the rescue team is ready to roll. I need to see them off before they leave and give them specific instructions. I won’t be joining them, they will be fine with Nel and Car to bring everyone here. Then we can discu

I watched him disappear and then I exhaled a deep breath. Ok, I thought. Time to get organized. I dug through the closet for my favorite blue jeans and my purple blouse. I ran to the bathroom and slipped on the blouse before pulling on my jeans. Only suddenly. I was stopped before I could button them. I furrowed my eyebrows as I glanced down at the button that wouldn’t button like it had easily for as long as I could remember. I studied it and it only took me a moment to realize it wasn’t my jeans that changed size.Another beat passed and I felt everything from last night coming up. I ran to the bathroom with my jeans still not buttoned and hurled into the toilet, thankful I had just bleached them. I waited until I was done before I forced myself to process this. It had been weeks, I wasn’t surprised. I knew II’d need to find a test and get a for sure before I told my mate, I didn’t want him disappointed. Although my growing belly

{ Alex } I watched as the caravans with Nel, Car and our rescue squad disappeared into the woods, headed East. It would be a few hours before they reached the survivors and they would be coordinating with Garcia’s men. Garcia could only hold a few though so a majority would need to come here. Garcia did have a spot available for Alpha Lorenzo and his mate so that was a load off my mind for now. I had come to terms since this war started and we found out her name that I would have to face Caroline again. But the longer I could put it off, the better. An overwhelming amount of happiness rolled over me I waves and I chuckled at it. Then I felt my wolf perk up at the thought of Raine that happy. I’d almost never felt her that happy. Curiosity got the better of me and before long I Was wandering into the house and towards our room instead of going to my office to organize for the incoming wolves. I passed Carmen on the

9 years later.{ Raine }“MAMAAAAAAA!!”I released a deep sigh as her loud voice echoed through the house. What now for the love of the Goddess above, I muttered to myself.“Yes mija?” I called out.“Cooper stole my ice cream again!” Isabella, my youngest screeched..“Ok mija, where is he?”“Across the field, by the training house,” she called out and sniffled. She was my baby, at only 7.5 years old. And while her brother was the sweetest and gentlest with her of his siblings, there were extenuating circumstances sometimes, and in this particular one, it wasn’t actually about his sister at all.I walked out to the front door and peered over. Sure enough, there he was. Cooper was 12 now, and standing there by the field building with him was Catalina, the only girl he had eyes for. This was the third time he had taken something from his sister to give to her. It was always the same, Catalina’s favorite ice cream was also Bellas favorite. But I Wasn’t having this at all.I mindlinked the

The thought occurs to me as I watch the breeze continue while Alex tickles Cooper and his sweet giggles float across the wind and make me smile and so I voice it.“Wait, what is the emotion that affects Air?”In all the time I had known and trained with Gus he never once mentioned what his emotion was like my dad and Tellus had. Happiness, Anger, Sadness… what was the mystical fourth one?The softest and smallest smile crossed Tellus’ face as he looked to me and then to my son and finally to my dad who shared the same smile as him.“I didn’t realize you had never asked Gus, I wish you would have. He always had the best explanation for it, the best way to describe it.” Dad said.“It’s love,” Tellus said to me.Love…“Oh,” I said more to myself. Love. I was havi

As we walked away I felt the heartache begin to fade. I stopped in my tracks and I watched as my father and Tellus did the same. “That was fast,” Tellus said more to himself. “Yeah,” my dad breathed out. They both looked at me and noticed my confusion that mirrored theirs, except I didn’t have the answer that they clearly did. “What just happened?” I asked when neither off them offered it up. “What do you mean?” Alex responded with worry etched on his faced. He glanced at me and looked me over from top to toe. I noticed him shift between his feet and then glance toward the direction of the battle, then back to me. “Another was already chosen,” Tellus tells us. “Another Air,” my dad adds as he looks at both of us to make sure we understand. “What? Already?” I asked, shocked. “Wow,

{ Raine }I watched as Alex took off to Rick where I had landed him. That burst of water had been the perfect way to allow Alex the opening he needed to safely approach and challenge Rick. Once Alex and Rick were both shifted and circling each other, I moved my focus to the rest of the fight.I couldn’t help the smirk that formed on my face when I took in the chaos that my fellow elementals were causing. Wolves were literally on fire despite my heavy rains, those tornados from Gus were perfectly placed and Tell was a beast with his powers. I never would have guessed that his abilites could be so effective in a war. Himself and mine seem to be the least deadly, but we were proving otherwise.I heard a growl from the left of me and turned to see a rogue sneaking up on me. I quickly formed a puddle underneath him that go deeper and deeper. It was only a distraction though, and it worked perfectly. He moved his paws un

“You should not have come here.”“You are my daughter, you don’t belong here.” Nora yelled at her. Her voice cracked a bit but she recovered quickly and put up her front.“I belong with my pack,” Raine said with conviction.Nora sneered at her now, “Oh really? And with your… mate?”The disgust in her voice as she mentioned me seemed to make Raine angry.“There is no one and no where I would rather be than with him.” She held her chin up high as she addressed her mother while also keeping a side eye on her mother’s mate who seemed to be tense and uncomfortable.“Fool, they have told you such things. Packs are unforgiving and toxic. Have you forgotten what they did to me? To us?” Nora screamed at Raine.I saw Raine smack her tongue against the front o

{ Raine }I felt a rough hand grab mine as I counted down to 0 along with Alex. I knew from the feeling of fire burning up my arm it was my father. 5 seconds.“No more rogues are moving, over a hundred backed down, but they still have an impressive army. I don’t know what Alex said, but it really pissed off Nora and Rick, I can feel the anger coming off them in waves, even sensing them from here,” I told the room.It was myself, the other 3 elementals, and 5 of the warriors from our pack. We were in a house that was on the packlands, but separate from the packhouse and main area. If they did search for me at the main packlands they wouldn’t find me. This was a small cabin in the woods that Abuelo and Jason’s grandfather had built as a bit of a safe house if needed, but it was mostly used by the Luna and Mona of the packs over the years when they needed some peace. To make it the prime spot t

{ Alexander }I snaked my arm around Raine in an attempt to push back this bristled feeling that was growing every minute that we grew closer to the fight and she wasn’t hidden somewhere. I glanced at my watch for 6thtime this minute.39 minutes.I needed her safe. I needed her gone from here. I have no doubt the rogues will send out spys to see if we are here and if they see Raine they may attack early or worse, follow her to her hiding spot.“Baby,” I said for the umpteenth time. She put her hand on my hand that was on her waist to acknowledge me but didn’t respond to me as she was directing warriors to their positions. She was glorious right now, I took another moment to appreciate her in this role before I sent her away. Her stretegy was flawless, her insight was priceless and I did feel a touch bad that she wasn’t going to be able to be here closer

“They need to know Raine is here, they need to know you want to end this war, and where to meet. I don’t see them backing down from the challenge, they don’t know you have thousands of extra warriors here from our packs the local ones. This should be enough, but bottom line, you say what you need to to get them there,” Alex told him sternly. Jason, to his credit, held Alex’s gaze despite his growing and demanding aura the more he spoke.“Yes Your Highness,” he said with a bowed head. We pulled a phone over to the table and he tried the first number. It rang a few times, but then we got to a generic voicemail. He dialed the second number and after three rings, someone answered.“What?”I sucked in a breathe as my mother’s voice filled the other end of the line. This was it, this was the finally slap of reality. Any piece of me that had still hoped she wasn&

Once we were settled it was a long flight. We stopped in for gas on the East Coast of America briefly and I mindlinked Jason for an update. All our warriors ahead of us had now arrived and they were settled in. Jason was an impressive Alpha, and if pressed I would say that I would trust him to run all of America for me if needed. He was organized, thoughtful, merciful when necessary, and while I hate the word, obedient. He didn’t fight me near as much as the other Alphas still did. He had damn near everything ready for us when we arrived and I thanked him for it.A quick gas up and we were on our way. Raine and Cooper were asleep in the bed in the back of the plane, but I couldn’t sleep. I was mind linking Car and working through maps for tomorrow. It was the middle of the night now thanks to how long we had to fly, it would damn near be morning once we arrived. I wouldn’t have long to get everything in order to attack.I h
