I held Alex’s hand tighter than was probably necessary as we waited for Carmen to come in.
“Baby, please, relax, it is just a sonogram,” he says soothingly.
I sigh deeply. It had been two days since we built the housing. Alex and Nel had settled in the first group of Italy wolves and after a couple days of monitoring the new patrol schedule and system we were confident that we could move the rest of their pack here. Alex had called this morning and they would be coming the morning after tomorrow.
None of this was stressing me out though. What was stressing me out was my baby. My stomach had grown in just two days. Were gestation was only 4 months, but I still felt like it was too fast. I also had this deep feeling from my wolf that there was something else about our baby. The frustrating part was that she couldn’t tell me what it was, so I only got her emotions and I

{ Raine }I waited as Anna took it all in and I couldn’t help but think about how much easier this conversation was than the ones I had with Nel and Alex since not only did I have my powers now and could demonstrate, but I also had the other three with me who could corroborate and also demonstrate. In fact, if anything, this was undeniable with the four of us here and Anna’s face held no doubt, only wonder.“So, your emotions effect your powers? Is that what just happened?” She asked me.“Yes, unfortunately, I am affected by sorrow or sadness,” I told her.Her eyebrows bunched together as she thought for a moment and then her eyes went wide, “But-but you’re Luna. You feel what the pack feels! You’ll feel every loss, not to mention Alex’s emotions, and your own…”“I really, really wish that was all I wa

{ Alex }I hauled this worthless piece of wolf by his collar. I was pulling his half conscious body behind mine, dragging it so that he bumped into every bump and tree possible increasing his pain once he finally regained consciousness. I felt a low growl leave my chest just from thinking about what he and his other two companions had done, but I also couldn’t help the betrayal I felt. My own pack member. I couldn’t dismiss the fact that he was just helping his mate. A better wolf would have brought his mate in, not the other way around. He had risked our safety, the safety of my family and my pack.I thought back to when I found him and the overwhelming strength that washed over me when I took off after the rogues once I received word from Raine of where they were. I hadn’t even questioned in the moment how she knew that, instead I just focused on getting them. The power in my veins still hadn’t subsided and I was ge

{ Raine }I woke up to a loud knock on the door and I couldn’t help the groan that left my lips as I buried my face in the pillow. The knock resonated again only louder this time. I almost called for them to come in until I realized that I Was naked under the covers so instead I rolled over and hollered, “Just a minute please.”“It’s alright darling, it just me,” I heard Elaine’s voice and I sighed, thankful it was her. I slipped on my robe and then walked over to let her in.“Hi darling,” she said as soon as I opened the door.“Hi Elaine,” I replied as she stepped into hug me.“I am so sorry to wake you up sweetie, I know how hard it must be to get rest with these two little alphas inside you,” she said with a smile as she placed her hand on my stomach.“Well, it wasn’t

{ Caroline } I took a deep breath in of my baby girl’s sweet scent to calm my nerves but it didn’t seem to be enough. I felt a hand on the small of my back that was rubbing circles to calm me down and I knew by the feeling it had to be my mate’s. I turned and I saw that he was talking to a few warriors from our pack. I felt a soft smile on my face before I could stop it, even when he was busy he could still sense my unease and helped to calm me down. I sighed deeply for the umpteenth time today as my eyes wandered off to the forest ahead of us. We had a decent journey ahead of us today, but we would be mostly making the trip as wolves so it wouldn’t last too long. We told the Spain pack that we would be there this evening but were leaving early. My mate seemed to be eager to reach Alexander’s pack while I was officially out of excuses to keep this from ever happening. This was my living nightmare, to go back there.

“Here mama,” the boy came back and this time he had a small bouquet of wildflowers that were orange and pink. “These ones are for brudder and sisser, pink for sissy and orange for brudder,”My veins were pumping with venom as I understood his words. I felt my mate’s hand on my back, no doubt sensing my emotions but even he couldn’t help as I watched the women take the flowers from the boy, kiss him on the forehead and then look to her belly. Alexander’s hand was now underneath it, showing off the bump that I couldn’t believe I missed seeing at first.“Ah, there is Navarro and his Luna. Oh their little man is here too! Perfect,” my mate said as he followed my gaze to the garden.“I don’t remember you mentioning that he had a Luna,” I said, trying my hardest to sound innocent but the look on his face said he was confused why I asked. “I wou

She allowed me to lead her into the pack house and we found our boy in the living room playing with the scrabble tiles on the board someone had left on the coffee table.“Look look!” he yelled and we walked over to see the board. On the board were scattered tiles and then some of them were organized to spell out a sentence‘“How did you do that?” Raine asked as she bent down to his level on the other side of the table.“Abuela showed me. Do you like it mama?” he asked with anticipation.“I love it baby, I really love it, you are so smart!” she said as he ran around the table and threw himself into her arms. The scrabble tiles spelled out ‘I love mama dada’.“Do you like it Daddy?” he asked turning to me.“I love it buddy, you did a great job. Are you ready for Mac n cheese?&rd

“How were the King and Queen chosen?” Anna asks.“By fate,” Tell said.“You knew about this?” I asked Raine, because honestly this was the most shocking part, that she hadn’t told me.“He told me his theory on the last attack, when you went after the rogues at the border, but I decided not to tell you. I confronted you about the new power that you had been keeping to yourself, but I still wasn’t completely convinced that it was what Gust thought it was. I still held my own doubts about what we were.” she told me.“And now?” I asked her.“Now we have nearly 700 less wolves in the world. Now, I can not only feel, but I can quantify and command other packs. Now, I have zero grounds to stand on when I try to deny what we are. Alex, I want you to do something for me. Try mind linking Garcia”&nb

Abuelo and Abuela arrived to the room just after the food did. I was setting up the dinner on the spare table when they knocked.“Come in, come in,” I told him and gave them each a big hug, or the best I could with my belly. They each gave me a kiss on the cheek and a soft touch to my belly.“Hello sweetie, how are you doing? How are your little alphas?” Abuela asked me as they sat down with their dinners.“Oh busy, and giant,” I said with a laugh. We chatted lightly for a few minutes, them saying hello to Anna as well. I could tell they loved that Anna got matched with Nel as much as we did, a perfect match indeed. Once the catch up was done I dived right in.“Abuelo, Abuela, I have something I need to tell you about, but I need to also say that most of it, cannot leave this room.”Their faces fell into serious ones and they

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
