I think I'm starting to come out of my grief and starting to feel like myself again. There are 4 chapters left in the book (Unless Tamaska decides you all need more.) The In Between with Jarvis is next- Then we get back to the War.
It’s been two weeks of daily training. Seleste and I train together in the morning and train with the warriors in the evening. We also made training mandatory for all shifted pack members who were not pregnant, ill, or elderly. Some of the older wolves have also elected to take part in the training, although it is not mandatory for them. We want to make sure our pack is fully protected, no matter what happens or who attacks us. Since our pack is protected from dark magic, as long as we are on pack grounds, our members will be able to protect the pack. Madam Iris arrived last week and started training with us as well. I got to see a whole new side of my mate when she trained with Madam Iris. They were not exaggerating about how bad ass my mate is. Seleste finally had the opportunity to train using her elements. She is the only one since the Originals who can control and use all elements and sometimes at the same time. I can tell Madam Iris is impressed. Alpha Clark told me about her ab
It’s been a couple of weeks since Seleste and I first sparred against each other. Now all the warriors stop to see us spar together. I have been planning a special night for Seleste and me with my mom. I want to make this a night she will remember for the rest of our lives. I asked my mom to set up a dinner, movie, and romantic night in my special area at the edge of our territory. There is this valley in the middle of the forest with a stream running through it. There are dense woods all around the area, but right in the middle is the perfect place to view the moon at night. The stream running through the area is crystal clear and cleaning than any other water source in the country. There is a legend that says the goddess protects the stream. It is said that the water has healing properties. To our pack, this area is sacred. It is the perfect place for Seleste and me to rebuild our bond and restart our matehood officially. I plan for us to renew our commitment to each other.I got up
Seleste and I spend a little more time with our team, then we head out to the front of the packhouse. I have the horse and carriage waiting for us as we exit the house. Just seeing the happy and excited expression on Seleste’s face lets me know that this was a good call. This is the perfect time for a horse and carriage ride. The sun is going down, but it is still light enough to see everything. We have at least another hour of light. That works perfectly. Will be able to dine partially by candlelight and then start the movie once the sun completely sets.I help Seleste into the carriage and take my seat next to her as we begin our journey through the forest.“Thank you baby for this. I have always wanted to ride in a carriage but never had the opportunity. I will always remember this moment.”“I am o glad you are enjoying this.”Selese leans her head on my shoulder as we continue to ride. After 10 minutes of riding in silence, with Seleste looking around and taking in the view, she f
Like all good things, our nice mini vacation came to an unexpected end. I received a mind link from my beta, letting me know they needed us back. I linked him back, telling him we would be there shortly and asking him to arrange for the omegas to come take down the equipment after we left. I grudgingly woke up my sleeping mate.“Wake up Seleste. We have to get back.”“So soon? I was enjoying our time.”“Me too, baby. Beta just linked me. They need us back. It sounded urgent. I think it would be better if we ran back. The omegas will take care of everything and make sure all of our belongings get back to the pack house.”“Ok my alpha, let’s head back.”She jumps up, runs outside and shifts into Tamaska. Oh, my goddess. Tamaska is beautiful and majestic. She is the lightest silver I have ever seen. She almost looks like a shimmering white wolf. I will never tire of seeing her. Onyx is rushing me to let him out. He is ready to run with his mate.“Hurry up human. You had your time with ou
After spending a restful night in Jarvis’ arms. I get up and spend a couple of hours in meditation. I didn’t wake Jarvis up to meditate with me this time. Tamaska and I needed this time with our elements. We all needed to recharge. They let me know they were at full strength and were ready. They also believe in the war that we are facing. The elements do not want to see a purely evil world. They need balance.While in meditation, mother moon visited me and Tamaska. She wanted to let us know everything would be ok.“Seleste, my child.”“Hi mother moon.”“Seleste, you are going to hear and see a lot on the battlefield. Trust your team to do what they need to do so you can focus on what you and the other moon warriors need to do. There will be a gift left for you at the palace. If you get the opportunity, use the gift. Tamaska will know what to do.”“What is the gift and what will it do?”“I can’t tell you that yet, but I will tell you that if everything lines up and Tamaska tells you to
After Meditating. I met my parents and Jarvis back in our family wing of the palace. It is almost going time. Jarvis and my dad were discussing the warriors and their plan of attack. While I was training with the king and Queen LaDonna, Jarvis and my dad were mobilizing the rest of the warriors with the new generals of the kingdom. The new generals are none other than Young Trevor and his team from the alpha academy. The goddess did tell me that our destinies have always been intertwined, now I understand how and why.This kingdom has fought wars before, but this is the first time we are battling pure evil. This is the first time mates are fighting side by side. In the past, the warriors were all males and the mate remained home waiting for their mates to return. In this war, the mates are on the frontline fighting together. Some might think that is a disadvantage, but I know it is more of an advantage. There is no power in the world stronger than the power of love. Mate will fight ha
The war is over. The dark lord has been defeated, but my warriors had to continue fighting mini battles from pockets of rebels who still insisted on fighting the rule of the king. They were no match for our warriors. The king and all of us were tired of needless bloodshed. We remained at the makeshift war tent for a couple of days, coordinating with all the other regions and bringing order. After the third day, we start teleporting warriors back to their region or home group.Queen LaDonna went back to her coven to get all the magics back on track and deal with the remaining dark witches. The decision to allow them to live was a tough one, but it was argued that the fact that they survived a hit from a light weapon showed they were not purely evil. While we didn’t expect them to walk completely in light magic, Queen LaDonna reminded us it is still necessary to have balance in the world. We need some darkness to balance the light. Even if we killed them off, there is nothing to stop ot
It’s been two years since the supernatural world had what amounted to a civil war orchestrated by pure evil. A lot of good came out of the war. The shifter community is more united and stronger than ever. The groups are no longer separated, well, not completely. Everyone still has their own set of rules and cultures, but we all serve under one king. We all come together yearly for leaders/alphas meeting at the palace. This gives us leaders a chance to network and build or strengthen alliances. It also gives us female warriors a chance to dress and get dolled up. Every year, Rose, Mona, Talia, Lacey, Francis, Violetta and I meet up the week before the conference to go shopping. Not that we need much of an excuse to meet up. We get together as much as possible anyway. Our males like to hang out with each other as well. The circle of ten still meets up as a group at my old pack for our birthday every year. Even though we are all grown and mated, alpha Connor likes to continue the traditi
