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

“Well, that’s not all there is to completing the mate bond,” her grandmother said with a chuckle. “But that is part of it.” Emily groaned and covered her face to help hide her blush. She peaked through her fingers and looked up at her mate. He was grinning down at her and gave a little shrug. “I mean Conri, and I are willing to make the sacrifice since it will help with a war and all,” he said with a wink. “Oh my gosh,” she groaned and covered her face. Just kill me now she thought to herself. They do have a point. Rica said.

Emily was pretty sure that she broke a couple records while rushing to get ready. The whole time her stomach was growling and grumbling urging her to move faster so she could get something to eat. Within her forty five minute time frame she was able to take a much needed shower. She was still embarrassed thinking about how she had been walking around with so much blood still all over her. Emily really thought in her mind that more of it had been removed with her shifting and everything. She saw how bad she actually looked when she looked in the mirror in the bathroom before hurrying into the shower. Once in the shower, she had cringed at how quickly the water had turned dark. Seeing how bad her appearance had been, made her even more glad that she had thought to shower and change before going into town. How in the world had Gabriel still thought she looked attractive in any way was a mystery to her. Figuring that she was getting close to her time limit, Emily quickly finished blow

After lunch the majority of their group went their separate ways. Samuel went back to helping with training, and Marcus returned to work. Emily’s grandmother went to rest and then had plans to meet up with Agatha later. Sarah took Sebastian back home since he was starting to tire, and needed to rest. Breanna had self-appointed herself as Emily’s personal tour guide and shopping partner, so they headed to the nearest store to begin their damage. Gabriel followed behind at a slower pace since he was making some phone calls on a cell phone that Marcus had given him before he went back. “Do you need to go back,” Emily asked as they reached the first store and Gabriel had just wrapped up his second phone call. “No,” Gabriel said with a quick smile. “I’m fine right now. I can go to the first few stores with you, and then take any bags back with me so you don’t have to haul them.” “The first few stores? How many stores are we going to today,” Emily asked worriedly looking between Breanna

Emily really enjoyed the rest of her afternoon that she got to spend shopping with Breanna. She was glad that Gabriel had left though. The fourth store that they went to had been a lingerie store. While she did need to pick up underwear and bras, Emily could only imagine what Gabriel would have thought or started picking up while they were in there. She was used to more simple and functional underwear. The lingerie store that they went to did not have much, well anything, along the lines of just simple and functional. They ended up leaving that shore with four bags alone. Most of the items in the bags Breanna had picked out saying that they were necessities and carried up to the counter before Emily could even see them. Shrugging, she figured that she would end up seeing what all Breanna had put in the bags when they got back to the castle. After their stop at the second, fourth, and sixth store each, Breanna had apparated to the castle and back to drop off their bags. Emily could on

As soon as Emily and Rica passed through the main entrance they were shocked by the site that greeted them on the other side of the mountain. Everywhere that they looked there were hunters and wolves fighting. Rica quickly ran over and pulled two hunters off of an older looking large wolf that had several big gashes on his right side. As the hunters were tossed one of her claws quickly went across their neck to make sure that they would not attack anymore wolves. Go through the barrier. Emily told the large wolf indicating back over her shoulder the way that she had come. Help is coming. I won’t leave my men. Emily sighed in frustration. Stupid stubborn males. Looking at the proud set of the older wolf’s shoulder and posture she said, Stay on my left. I will try to cover your right side. Emily thought she saw a slight relaxation in his posture for a split second before he gave a single nod and came over to her left. Let’s go, she said as they began to make their way over to ano

Emily! Gabriel roared through their link. Emily barely heard as she felt her blood rushing and saw the hunter pull out the knife and bring his arm back to plunge it in again. In less than two seconds Rica had tossed the injured cub so that he was out of the way over her right shoulder and she swung her left arm with claws extended. She knocked the knife from the hunter’s hands and left long bleeding claw marks like the ones left on the cub across the hunter’s chest. Rica went to pull out his throat when Emily cried out, Wait! Rica had her hand wrapped around the hunter’s throat and Emily could see the fear in his eyes. He should be afraid. He wasn’t afraid a minute ago when he was plunging that knife into her side. Why? Rica snarled. Maybe we can take him in for questioning. Maybe he will tell us why the hunters attacked now. How many there are and any other plans, Emily said. Emily, are you okay? Gabriel yelled through their link again. Looking up she saw him running in her di

“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
