We wandered around aimlessly through the mountains. It had been weeks since the attack on the Wild River pack and we still hadnāt gained information. Trudging through the autumn landscape of the forests and hills, we still needed to find a sign of our holy grail.
Cold Creek had given in to their bloodlust and our pack had been next on their list, unfortunately. A couple of our own had crossed over before the battle began and signed our death sentences. Alpha Markus of Cold Creek was the ultimate twisted mistake that the Moon Goddess had created.
My wolf's eyes began to water and I whimpered recalling the scene. My 4 year old pup, Drake, clung tightly to my leg. Not wanting to lose his mommy out of sight. He had been through so much for his young age. Susan and Steven, the couple that made

ā³ Pernwél“Yes.” Viggo answered truthfully. “I do believe that you are the bastard child of Aerin, the Queen of Agmysther, and myself.”I just nodded, taking in the notion that my only living family was seated before me, my father. That my mother after all these years had been silently caring for me, without me knowing the truth. That she had sacrificed her last remaining bit of magic, to save me from the battle. Leading me to this Realm to reunite me with my father.Searching Jake’s eyes for comfort I found my own shocked reflection staring back. We had been thinking this whole time that we would find someone who could help me uncover the secrets of my druidic nature. Finding my father had never crossed my mind.“You w

ā³ PernwélThe conversation with my father had been enlightening. A lot of questions of my past had been answered and ultimately, I had found my parents. I was no longer an orphan as I believed to have been all this time. It was an uncanny sensation to have finally found them and yet they seemed to be total strangers to me right now.I had always thought that the Queen was taking pity on a poor orphan girl, while she had been my mother this entire time. Shock and awe still blended into one another, coursing through my veins in a worried hurry.How different would things have been if I wasn’t her bastard child? If I would have grown up with two loving parents and instead of dealing with the wrath of an unhinged King?I couldn’t change the

š¾ Alpha Jake PernwĆ©l and I exchanged a couple of glances, but we knew what was going on the moment we both walked into my office. My Beta and best friend, Darren, had finally found his mate. He was one of the good guys, reserving himself for his Goddess given soulmate. I had always envied the strength he had to ignore the sultry gazes of the she-wolves in the pack that wanted him. I never possessed that resistance. He was a good looking male with a bright mind. Yet, he had this obsession with fictional comic book characters that I couldnāt wrap my head around. Darren is who he is and I appreciated him for it, the most loyal friend someone could wish for. With a heart of gold, sprinkled with an extra dose of sweetness around it. I sound cheesy, but he did have a massive heart, that guy. āGood even

ā³ PernwĆ©l Jake grabbed my hand and dragged me to the third floor, the private quarters of the Alpha. Each corridor I was taken down looked similar to the last. āYouāre sleeping with me from now on.ā His voice was rushed and deep, holding a strong authoritative tone that had me slightly excited. āBut I have a room.ā I objected weakly. I wasnāt going to deny the excitement that crawled up my chest at the thought of sleeping in the same bed as Jake, for the foreseeable. āI canāt let you go back to your guest room, I need you with me - every night.ā He promised with a husky voice that made me weak at the knees. Jakeās room was larger than the guest room that I was staying in. There was a large dark wooden fou

š¾ Beta Darren When Rune and I returned to the Beta quarters on the second floor, I closed the door behind me with a big exhale, trying to rid myself of all the stress that had built up in my muscles. Cracking the articulations in my neck while doing so. āAre you okay, Darren?ā My lovely mate asked me worriedly while her blonde curls bounced up and down, framing her heart shaped face. āIām good, donāt worry.ā I said and pulled her by her arms to my chest, before planting a tender kiss on her hair. āYou are so sweet to me.ā She whispered against my chest. āAnd how would I be otherwise?ā I chuckled. āYou are my mate Rune.ā āEven if I am a rogue and have a pup by some

ā³ PernwélWe had slept in each other’s embrace and I had felt pure happiness seep into my heart, while slumber took over my consciousness.The next morning I went to Jake’s office. After breaking his tub last night and the activities that had taken a toll on my body, I hadn’t had the strength to join him at pack training. When he woke up in the morning to leave for the training grounds, we decided that I was going to see him at his study before going to grandma Rose’s to try and figure out more about my druidic nature.I didn’t need to knock as he knew that I was coming, he would also smell my presence as I walked down the corridor.“Good morning.” I sang while entering Jake’s study.

ā³ PernwélThe first herb I picked up was Chamomile, as it reduces inflammation and swelling. I took the stalk of Echinacea for its wound healing and preventing infections. I cut up the stalk and removed the petals of the Chamomile to simmer together on a low burning fire in a bit of water with two drops of Lavender extract. I rummaged through the mineral cabinet and took out an Amethyst stone. I put it with the mixture when I took it off the burner and let it rest.I used one cup of shea butter and two of coconut oil and stirred them together making the perfect blend for adding the herbs later on. I strained them with water in the colander and left the Amethyst at the window to recharge in the sunlight. When I finished the ointments I put them in five different containers that Grandma Rose had provided.

ā³ PernwélIt was a nice afternoon of teamwork and I learned a lot from both women about Werewolf physiology and healing.Because shifters have a high body temperature, when they have a fever induced by intense body harm after a battle, it results hard to get their body temperature down. Rune showed us how to make an infusion from Feverfew leaves. If the leaves were to be chewed straight they could leave mouth ulcers and digestive problems, adding to the problem instead of helping.To the beverage she added Lemongrass to balance out the taste, making it easier to drink and because of the pain relief and anti inflammatory properties. I chimed in, adding Anise seed to it. Balancing out the digestive problems that could be caused by the Feverfew leaves.

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

ā³ Aerin, Queen of Agmysther“You will be married in a fortnight, Aerin.” My mother announced as she opened the letter that she received from the village of Agmysther.“Do I have any say in the matter?” I replied curtly, not letting my emotions take free reign. 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
