2024-10-29 19:42:56Gabriel paced his room. He knew that his mate must be wondering why he ran out of the bathroom so quickly. How could he tell her that if he didn’t leave that second, that there was a high chance that he was going to join her in that shower. Gabriel growled just thinking about her being right on the other side of that door naked. He could just imagine the water sliding down her body when she lifts her arms up to wash her hair. The drops sliding down her chest, over her stomach, and down her legs.
Shaking his head Gabriel pulled his shirt off and headed to his closet to grab something clean to change into as soon as his mate was done with her shower. Gabriel had to chuckle. Marcus would be ecstatic that he was taking time to grab clothes instead of being in his wolf form all the time and just shifting when needed.

The whole time that Emily was getting dressed, she worried about what Gabriel and the others would think about what Agatha told her. Would they hate her because she is basically bringing a war to them? What about her abilities? How will she be treated if she really is as strong or powerful as Agatha says she will be? Will they still accept her if she is a lycan? Taking a deep breath Emily quickly looked in the mirror and realized that she was as ready as she was going to get. As soon as Emily stepped out of the bathroom she saw Gabriel waiting by the bedroom door for her. She could tell by his face that he was talking to someone. Emily hurried to his side since she is the reason that he was not already at the meeting. “I’m sorry that I held you up,” she said quietly. F

Gabriel was happy that everyone was supporting his mate and that no one was wanting to blame her for this mess with the hunters, but at the same time he did not like the fact that she was going to be in danger. He heard what she said Agatha told her about being strong and them gaining strength from each other, but she was not raised as a warrior or with her abilities.Even as cubs, shifters start simple training, and the training increases as they gain their wolves and age. Others gain and start using their powers at an early age too. Emily never got to use or even experience her power. She does not know how she will respond to the powers when she gets them. It takes years to master skills if you are not super powerful. With her being as strong as Agatha is saying, who knows how long she would really need to be in control of her abilities. Everything for her is based on what might or should be. Emily

Emily groaned as she tried to open her eyes. Her eyelids felt so heavy, but she felt like she really needed to wake up for something. Gathering her strength she was finally able to open her eyes. Blinking a few times and turning her head, Emily realized that she did not know where she was. Looking around everything was dark, but she could see at the same time. She was laying on the floor and the chair that she had been sitting in while in the conference room was on the floor beside her. She must have fallen out of the chair or it fell over putting her on the floor. Emily scrunched up her face trying to remember what happened. She remembered being in the conference room and then the hunter that was talking to them said that Lord Rotterford knew that she was there. She could understand if she fainted, but fainting did not explain where she was now and where everyone had gone.

“Yes,” Emily said, sitting up slowly. Her head felt like it was swimming, but she knew she needed to share what she had just learned. “I just met my grandmother. She said that she and Agatha were able to unlock my abilities.” Looking toward Samuel she said, “She is on her way. She is planning to be here by the end of the week.” Turning to her right she looked at Breanna and pulled her mother’s necklace and ring out from under her top. “She said that a tracking spell had been placed on these and to see if you could remove it,” Emily said showing the necklace and ring to Breanna. “Oh, wow,” Breanna said, letting Emily drop the necklace into her open palm. “These are beautiful. The center stone is moonstone and it has a lot of power stored in it. I bet a

Emily tried turning her head away from the light that was shining in her eyes. She turned her head to bury it further into her pillow when she realized she did not feel the softness of a pillow but instead heard rustling, crunching, and what felt like little needles poking her. As she began to wake up more she realized that her whole body felt sore and that she felt more little needles, rustling, and crunching as she stretched and moved her legs. Opening her eyes, Emily realized that she was laying on the forest floor.Sitting up quickly and looking around she did not see anyone, but she did see the large bloody carcass of some animal about fifteen feet from where she was laying. Emily looked down to see if she was injured and saw that she was completely naked. She did not have a scratch on her, but there was a large amount of blood smeared across her chest, stomach, and thighs. Looking at her hands

Emily was relieved that the trip back to the valley was uneventful for her and Rica. She felt bad that she had scolded Rica earlier for their adventure last night once she could feel just how happy she was being out and able to run. Rica almost seemed like a kid in a candy shop. There were a few times that they would startle a deer or rabbit, and Emily would have to force Rica to focus on getting back to the valley. Once all of this was over she would make sure that she let Rica run free more.Rica? Emily asked.Hmm? Rica replied.What was it like when you were locked away all of those years?Sighing Rica took a minute to respond. Do you remember whe

“Yes, I was able to make the trip a lot quicker than anticipated,” her grandmother replied. “I see that you have met Rica,” she said with her eyes flashing purple for a second. “Yes,” Emily said walking the rest of the way to her grandmother. “We introduced ourselves yesterday, but I guess we met officially this morning,” Emily said with a rueful grin. Chuckling her grandmother replied, “I bet she was eager to get out and stretch her legs. I heard that you had a little adventure last night. That is what helped me get here so much quicker. Agatha had Breanna here aparate and bring me here. I might have to learn how to do that one day.” “Will I e

“This means that there wouldn’t even be much of a war at this point, right,” Breanna asked.“Honestly, I do not want to jinx us, but it does seem like that,” Agatha said. “Gabriel, how about your side? WHat are we looking at with just shifters versus hunters?”“Our biggest issues would be them using weapons. Even our best warriors would be taken down for a while if they took a bullet to the head. Assuming that they would not have time to detach heads, we would not have many casualties,” Gabriel said.“Agatha,” Emily asked, “what about the visions that you shared with me yesterday? Have they changed or do you have a way of seeing if they have changed?”“I would need to go and s

“She’s waking up,” Emily heard a femine voice yelling right before she heard the pounding up feet and then her hand being held tightly. “Emily. Emily, can you hear me,” her mate asked in a trembling voice. The sound of his voice and the pain that was in it broke her heart. It took more energy than she would have ever thought, but Emily finally forced her eyes open. As soon as she could focus, she found her eyes locked with beautiful relief filled green ones. “Hi,” she managed to croak out with a small smile. “Hi beautiful,” Gabriel replied huskily as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead. “How are you feeling?’ “Thirsty and tired for some reason. Rica said that I have been out for three weeks.” Gabriel helped Emily to sit up a little so that she could take a few sips from the cup of water that was pushed into his hand. “Yes. The wound hit you harder than anyone thought. Agatha thought that she had lost you for a moment, but Rica pulled you back. We just couldn’t get you to wa

I kind of figured we would have to do something like that. Do Gabriel and Conri know? Emily asked grimacing. Nope, Rica said. How much trouble are we going to be in for doing this?Loads. They might even kill us if we make it. Do you think that my grandmother would have suggested this if she thought we wouldn’t. No, but I also know that things can go bad quickly, Rica said hesitantly. Why are you so hesitant? Do you know something? I know a lot actually. There just isn’t anything that I can tell you right now. That was helpful. I know. All I can say is that we do need to survive. For Gabriel and Conri? And others…Rica said carefully. What others? I can’t say yet. Okay…so do you not want to save Agatha? I do want to save her, I just need you to be strong and to get us through this. Promise me. I promise. Should we tell Gabriel and Conri? I think we have to. They are going to have to give a lot of their energy to Agatha to heal us. Okay. Do you want to tell them? No.

“Angela, how are they,” Emily asked as soon as they made it back into the valley and then rushed to the hospital where all of the injured were receiving help. Emily was relieved to see that everyone that they passed at the hospital did indeed have minor injuries. “Not good,” Angela said, quickly swiping a tear from her cheek. “I can’t keep them in this state much longer, and as soon as they are no longer in this frozen state, they will quickly bleed out.” “Can’t I pull energy and give it to them to help them heal,” Emily asked sadly, as she looked at her grandmother and Agatha. Angela shook her head. “No, the bullets have done too much damage for them to recover from.” “Could we do surgery while they are frozen to repair the damage to give them a fighting chance,” Emily asked, refusing to give up. Angela sighed and slumped in a seat by Agatha’s bed. “Even frozen, the surgery would kill them. Rotterford knew what he was doing when he shot your grandmother. He missed her he

“You are right,” Emily’s uncle said, sighing heavily. “I know that saying ‘I’m sorry’ or ‘I was wrong’ will not fix the mistakes that I have made.” “Then what do you want? The only reason that you are not dead is because my mate was hearing you out,” Gabriel growled. “I wanted Emily to know the truth, and I think I just wanted to clear my conscience.” “You came all of this way so that you could have a clear conscience,” Emily asked skeptically. “And so that you could know the truth,” her uncle said with a small shrug. “I am dying, so if you decide to kill me it won’t matter,” he laughed bitterly. “That might be better than what is coming. I have cancer in case you were wondering.” “I can’t heal you,” Emily said quickly thinking her uncle was hoping that injuring Lord Rotterford and finally telling her the truth would make her help him. She felt bad thinking that, but she also knew that she had to try to help Agatha and her grandmother if possible. She couldn’t help her uncle t

“What do you mean,” Emily asked. “I have made a lot of bad decisions in my life. I know that I can never make what I have done to you right, but I can at least make sure that you are able to live the life that you have now.” “What have you done to me? Do you mean the part where you called me a whore for taking my chances with Lord Rotterford over you,” Emily cried as she pointed to the man that was still withering in pain on the ground. “Or do you mean, where you stole from myself and my parents and forced me out of my own home to pay your gambling debts?” Emily’s uncle looked pained as he admitted, “I have done way worse. I was the fool that told the hunters where they could find your mother. I was blinded by jealousy of my brother. I was hoping that I could make it look like he was the one that told them where she was that day then she would run to me for comfort.” “You wanted to have me killed so that my mom might turn to you for comfort?

Emily wanted to close her eyes as she heard the gun fire, but she found that she couldn’t look away. Knowing that you are about to die is a funny thing. It is almost like time stands still. You have all of the time in the world to think about things, but in reality everything happens within seconds. Since Rica had tried to come forward when Jenna first placed the spell on them, Emily’s eyesight was much sharper. She could see every detail of the bullet as it came barreling toward her, but at the same time her mind took this opportunity to think about all of the things that she would regret. Emily hated the fact that she and Gabriel and Rica and Conri never really got a chance to enjoy each other. Hopefully they know how much they love them. Emily also hated the fact that she couldn’t save her grandmother. She had only come out of hiding after all of these years because of her. Just as the bullet was about to reach her, Emily heard another shot fired. Her eyes changed focus just in

“What in the world is that,” Emily asked. She didn’t realize that she had spoken aloud till Gabriel answered her. “I’m not sure what Rotterford has planned. I think that I hear something metallic mixed in with the sound of the trees moving, snapping, and falling.” “I hear it too,” Hunter replied, taking a step forward. “I don’t suppose that giants are real,” Emily asked, only half joking as she watched more trees shake and then give way to whatever was making their way toward them. “They are real,” Gabriel said, “but this doesn’t sound like a giant. If it was a giant you would know it.” “What do you mean by that,” Emily asked. “Giants are old,” Agatha said. “They are elementals. They are made of rock, water, and ice. If one of them moved you would know. When the ones made of rock move it makes the news because they have either caused an earthquake or a landslide.” “Oh,” Emily said as she felt the ground vibrating under them. I still think it could be a giant. It’s not, Ric

“Remember our deal,” Lord Rotterford said as Jenna fought to not roll her eyes while looking into the two-way mirror that he had given her to use to communicate with her during her trip to meet with Gabriel and the others. . “I remember,” Jenna said, trying to mask the frustration on her face and while trying to add a little tremor to her voice. “I know that my life depends on this.” “If you cross me, I will make sure that you die a very slow and painful death,” Lord Rotterford growled out one last time as they disappeared from sight. With a quick scream of frustration, Jenna threw the mirror at a tree and watched happily as it shattered. Hopefully she would get an additional seven years of bad luck for breaking that mirror, she thought ruefully. Rotterford threatening her with a slow painful death was a joke. He must not realize that she already wished that she could die. The only thing that kept her going was thoughts of Alice. She couldn't lert Alice down. If she didn’t help

An hour later everyone had made it to their assigned locations as far as Emily knew. She was waiting with Gabriel, Hunter, Agatha, and the rest of their core group. Always worried about an attack Gabriel was making sure to keep Emily blocked by him, Hunter, Samuel, and Axel, but they were also trying to keep it from looking obvious at the same time. Emily and Rica tried not to roll their eyes at the guys worrying about protecting them. She also knew that there were warriors all around them even though she could not see them. A few of the witches like Breanna, Agatha, and others could aparate warriors as needed, but due to the numbers needed, Gabriel and the others decided to find another way to have warriors able to be in multiple locations unseen. The solution that they found was a small charm that would allow the warriors to be invisible for up to four hours. This time frame allowed enough of the warriors to be set up and prepared if the hunters attack. The rest of the warriors wer
