We walked back in comfortable silence to the packhouse. It had been an eventful day to say the least, and I was starving.
I gazed down at the beautiful Elf that walked next to me. Her lovely words about my leadership as an Alpha of this pack had touched me deeply. Did she really think that way about me?
After all that had happened, she had pulled her hood down and hadnāt pulled it back up to hide herself away from prying eyes. Her silver locks were dancing in the remaining light of the street lanterns. It made my heart skip a beat, that she was warming up to the pack and felt more comfortable around them.
Deep down, I wanted it to mean that she was also opening up to me. The glances we shared and the slight touching of her hands as I cup

ā³ PernwĆ©l I was baffled. I understood Jakeās explanation but the notion of there being only one out there to match perfectly with your own, was a romantic notion that didnāt quite exist where I came from. Jake was staring deeply into my eyes and as I ran through everything in my mind that had happened over the last few odd days, I certainly had felt a pull towards him. I had just asked him if I was his fated mate and he was hesitating in giving me his answer, but somehow I already knew it. We were fated mates in this Realm and the fact that the Moon Goddess put us together had a higher meaning. Even if I didnāt have a wolf spirit to connect with his one, she was under the understanding that I would complete him

ā³ PernwĆ©l Illuminated by the moonlight, I follow the path laid out in front of me. It looks as if the trees have moved out of the way to make space, leaving roots and lifting the ground in their wake. As I kept walking through the dark forest, the snow cracked beneath my feet. Just then, I realised Iām barefoot and wearing nothing but a thin white nightgown. I canāt sense the cold feeling between my toes as the snow and ice slips around them. I should feel ice-cold by now. Strangely, I donāt feel anything except for the uncontrollable urge to keep moving. I watch out for the tree roots so I wonāt trip and Iām thankful that the full moon tonight shines bright enough to be able to move further; pulled by some invisible force to keep going deeper into the forest.

ā³ PernwĆ©l The little cabin of Grandma Rose filled up with thick smoke, it billowed from the cauldron the moment the orb touched the contents. Our vision was obscured slightly as the orb bobbed up and down in the purplish clouds. The scrolls of the ancient artifacts had described and identified the potion we were brewing, the smoke was supposed to be this color, so that was a good sign. The journal chronicled every orb ever made, describing its uses and how to unlock what was within. I had no clue what would happen next or what I was doing. I tried to recall every little detail from the instructions, hoping I had got it right. I fiddled with my fingers, clutching onto the brim of the wooden table. As the smoke kept frothing and spilling out of the cauldron,

ā³ PernwélGrandma Rose stared at me in shock.I felt baffled, to the point that I began to question every step of my life and how we had gotten to this point. It made my head spin and I took a seat on the rocking chair.“Dear?” Grandma Rose asked worriedly, gazing at me with her observant eyes. “Are you okay?”I wasn’t even sure how to answer Grandma Rose’s question. Was all of this even real? Surely I would wake up any moment and it would have been one of my nightmares.The wise older woman took a seat next to me and grabbed my hand in hers. It was oddly similar to the way that Jake had done when I was feeling overwhelmed. It calmed my nerves but I was still ree

Something must have happened but I couldn’t tell from her voice if that something was bad or not.My wolf only knew that our mate needed us and it was enough to put my paperwork aside and bolt out of the door.I ran in my human form towards the little cabin on the outskirts of our town, not wanting to show up naked at my Grandma’s doorstep.

š¾ Alpha Jake I decided to walk PernwĆ©l to her room so she could freshen up while I made some calls. I needed to ask around the other werewolf packs and see if they had heard of the person we needed to find. āThanks Jakey.ā The way she said āJakeyā did something to me. I hated the nickname, but coming out of her mouth it had my heart fluttering at an unnatural speed. I let out a sigh, wanting to display a sense of displeasure, before I lowered my lips to her forehead and placed a soft kiss on it, like I had done the previous night. Suddenly, we were startled by laughter. Darren was down the corridor and had heard us as he exited his own room. He took a couple of steps in our direction and guffawed in front of PernwĆ©l. āWhy is Robin Hood calling you Jakey?ā

ā³ PernwélA couple of days had passed since Jake had reached out to other Alpha’s from the neighbouring packs in this Realm.Some jumped at the opportunity to help Alpha Jake’s pack, but there were others who weren’t inclined to help us in any way. According to Jake, there were those who didn’t agree to the werewolf code. Norms of conduct that had been in the making for ages, passed on through the communities of shifters everywhere around the globe. He didn’t go into detail explaining them to me, but I understood. We had something similar in the Royal guard. A set of ancient rules to live and abide by.They were jealous of the way his pack thrived. Jake had great warriors and a prospering economy. Jake’s pack had its own bakery, wood shop, butcher, elem

ā³ PernwĆ©l When night fell, we stopped for a break at a rural hotel that Jake had made reservations for. It consisted of one building and smaller cabins around it. We had to pick up the key inside the main building and Jake left me alone in the car for a brief moment. It was starting to get dark outside and the lanterns that illuminated the path towards the cabins had just been lit. It gave it all a fairytale aura. If it wasnāt because we were going on this trip for important matters, I wouldāve found this romantic. He got into the car again and flashed his canines with a dashing grin, while he held up the keys to our refuge for the night. Jake and I pulled up to one of the cabins with the truck. It reminded me of Grandma Roseās home. Only there were no leaf

ā³ Aerin, Queen of Agmysther“There must be something I can give to you.”I begged and I prayed, to spare my love from such a cruel demise. The King of Agmysther had no heart, no soul. He was as black as a night without stars.“What could you possibly give me?” His voice boomed through the room as he held me up by my throat, eyeing me as if I disgusted him. I had failed him, by loving another man.“More power?” I tried throwing him something he would be interested in, maybe I could offer him a spell or a brew that could make him happy, a reason to spare Viggo’s life.“I have everything I need.” He snarled. “And if I would want something else I would take it with a snap of my fingers.” He hissed against the skin of m

I was expected to listen to my parents and not disobey them.“Why would you?” She answered with a gasp. “You are to become Queen.”Our marriage wasn’t one of love, but of convenience. My parents were noblemen from the South and I had inherited my Druidic powers from a long line of female Druids in my ancestry.We all knew that what the King from Agmysther wanted was power.

š¾ Alpha Jake Three years had passed since the dreadful attack from Selmor, and a peaceful time had come to the Grey Moon pack. The ancestor, Darach, the oak tree from Agmysther had been the only thing that remained in our Realm. Except for the Druid, Grendal and his wifeās body that stayed behind as well. We lost many pack members that day and had a proper rite burial by the magical oak tree that was now a part of our land. The magical powers from the Third Realm had left the area and hadnāt returned, which we all were grateful for. Our pack rebuilt and repaired damages in the following months after the war. We lost over twenty pack members and we tried our best to provide solace for their mates and children. It was hard, it always is after a battle, but this one took more away than we had bargained for. It took

š¾ Luna PernwĆ©l The moment that I regained consciousness in Jakeās arms I knew there was something wrong with me; a piece missing. I didnāt feel the Awen flow through me anymore. I felt drained, like a current of energy had struck through me, leaving me empty. My eyes fluttered against Jakeās chest, he had shifted back into his human form to carry me and I couldnāt recall for a moment what had just happened. I opened my eyes to see the blue sky above our heads, the sight startled me and I tried to wriggle free from Jakeās arms. He wouldnāt have it and he clutched me closer to him. āHow do you feel?ā He spoke with a sad raspiness to his voice. His emotions of worry whipped around me, striking me with their icy shards. āI donāt know.ā I responded, finding my own voice. āThe l

š¾ Alpha Jake I never had encountered such creatures in my life as the ones that flanked Selmor in the back of the battle field. PernwĆ©l invaded my thoughts over mindlink explaining that they were rare creatures from Agmysther, mountain giants from the North. My breathing cut inside my throat and I struggled to swallow the ball of nerves down. These creatures from another Realm, the mountain giants, had the colour of the earth and were bare with the exception of a cloth covering their loins. Their heads reached the highest tree tops and a shudder wacked through me in the realization that the battle had taken an enormous turn in our disadvantage. While the poisoned arrows were doing their work, I noticed from my peripheral that they didnāt do the giants much harm. It seemed like everything we threw at th

š¾ Beta DarrenPortals started opening on the far edges of the field, one by one, footsteps pummelled through the tall grass. Selmor’s army was here.Dark elves came through the various magical openings between our Realms, sprawled across the field in an organized manner. Tidy formations, like robots following their master’s orders, thundered through. The thudding of the metal boots against the moist surface from the strange rain reverberated through the area as they took their places in a rehearsed shape, forming a wall along the tree line.They looked exactly how Pernwél described them. Obscure metallic armour held together by leather straps around their bodies. They wore helmets making them look like carbon copies of one another. Darkness swirled around them, like they were part of it. Their swords hun

š¾ Beta RuneThese last few weeks have been intense. Preparing for a new battle while carrying a pup in the beginning of the third trimester was harder than I expected. I wasn’t as physically strong as the female pack warriors, but I wasn’t fighter material. I was a healer in every sense of the word.I tried to not let fear overwhelm me. I knew that our pack was strong and that we would fight until the threat was eradicated. Grey Moon was known as one of the most brutal packs regarding training. Even though you got to know the people that ran it on a personal level, you couldn’t be in a better place. Werewolves knew Grey Moon and not to pick fights with them. Sadly, Alpha Markus did and we had to bury four pack members. I had the feeling that fighting these Dark Elves would be harder and there would be more casualties.

š¾ Luna PernwĆ©l Everything was finally coming together. In a week we had managed to prepare so much in record time. Jake had decided to use the building next to the pack house as a storage space filling every room with the leftover materials from the attack against Cold Creek. We had everything at our disposal all under one roof. The poisoned arrows, courtesy of Rune, would be a weapon that no-one would see coming. We had created something so deadly, that one hit in the right place would see our enemy dead within minutes. It would take just a few seconds before they rolled around in excruciating pain that caused every muscle in their bodies to spasm and convulse. I handpicked the best archers and taught them what to do. With such a lethal concoction on the arrowheads, we didnāt want them to

š¾ Luna PernwélComing back to Grey Moon with both my parents in the back of the Land Rover was strange. Not the fact that they were looking at each other like two teenagers in love, but because it was different for me. I never had any parents and now I had them sitting behind me in the vehicle.I had been raised completely as an orphan, thinking I had no family at all. It took me one hard fall on my bum into another Realm to find my true family, and then my real one revealed itself. It had been a crazy ride and I sensed that there was a lot more to come.Now that we knew what Selmor wanted and the lengths he was willing to go to get it, we needed to come up with a strategy. One that would destroy their plans of ever returning to the Third Realm with what they want. Our first priority was
