Casper sat behind the desk when we entered with Blake and Lena at either side. Serena sulked in the corner.
"I just want to go through your current security," he told Maddox, "and meet your warriors. We'll deal with plans going forward once we've checked what we already have and know what we need."
"Yes, sir," Maddox nodded, taking the seat opposite Casper's. "If Kayla isn't needed I'd like to send her shopping with Lena. She arrived here with nothing. Serena is welcome to join them."
Serena perked up at this suggestion, swinging her swivelling office chair to face Casper with wide, pleading eyes.
"Of course. We don't need Kayla until later. I would like to see her spar with Lena at some point, just to see what we're working with."
"Lena, do you mind?" Maddox asked her.
"Do I mind shopping?" Lena grinned grabbing her coat from the stand beside her. "Is the sky blue?" She rushed around t

"Let's start with basics," Lena squealed rushing to a floor to ceiling window lined with shoes, boots and sandels. "Oh my Goddess," Serena squeaked holding her hands to her chest. "Casper only ever brought me sneakers and big army style boots. What arethose?" She pointed to a pair of shiny black shoes with red soles and a spike protruding from the heel. "Those, darling, are Laboutin." "They're beautiful." "Luna Lucy used to have some," I said frowning at the shoes. They never looked comfortable when Luna wore them and they didn't look comfortable now. "Those are basics, right? Like they're things I need?" Serena pleaded. Lena shook her head pouting. "Sorry but basic are those," she pointed at a pair of flat black boots similar to the ones Maddox wore. "Dr Martins." "I like those," I said. Lena and Serena pouted at me and dragged me into the shop. I was thrown to a stool and ordered to remove my shoes so Len

Maddox's POV Casper stood in the middle of the training hall, feet apart, hands clasped behind his back. Five of my warriors stood to attention behind him. Blake, Lena and I stood to attention in front of him. Serena and Kayla fidgeted in the corner whispering nervously between themselves. "I've watched your men train," he addressed Lena. "They're impressive. You've trained them well." "Thank you, sir," Lena barked. Out of the side of my eye, I watched the corners of her lips raise and her chest puff out. The way her men fought was the thing she was most proud of. "You have a lot of strong warriors. They'll serve us well in the war but we need more." Lena nodded. I had the largest troop of warriors since the White Wolf army. My fighters were renowned for their speed and their strength but Casper was right. They weren't enough. Not when we had no clue what and who we were facing. Whoever the traitors had on their side ha

Kayla's POV Serena fastened the padded training gear around me and strapped my hands into my gloves. Blake grabbed extra crash mats, placing them around the edge of the training square painted in the middle of the hall. My heart pounded so hard I felt dizzy. Serena sparred with me once, back at Paradise. I lasted around three seconds before she knocked me out cold. Izzy had wanted to kill her. Casper gave her hell and for the rest of my time there I was assigned fitness tasks to build my strength. While Casper and Serena sparred I swam or ran through the tide. I had muscles in places I didn't think muscles could grow. I could run for miles. If running away from an attacker was a way to win a war I'd do fine but fighting? Nope. Never in a million years would I be able to fight. "Kill her," Izzy growled pacing in my head. "Go for the throat." "I'm not a wolf, Izzy." I sighed trying to catch my breath, "I don't

Kayla's POVSerena and Lena huddled in front of Maddox's mirrored wardrobe, their makeup spread over a thick white towel to protect the carpet beneath it."This is for base, right?" Serena asked holding up the foundation she bought earlier. "As in my skin?"Lena nodded, her mouth hanging open as she painted her long lashes with jet black mascara."All of it 'cause I don't think this tiny bottle will cover my entire body?""No," Lena laughed, "just your face, here let me show you."Lena grabbed a bouncy, black sponge from the towel and dripped some of Serena's foundation onto the back of her hand. Serena wrinkled her nose as Lena bounced the sponge over her face covering up the natural pink hue of her cheeks.I perched on the edge of Maddox's bed my mind still racing after training. Lena was an amazing warrior. Serena knew three different martial arts. I couldn't even duck a punch but I was su

Maddox's POVCasper smirked as I entered the office for the morning's pre-training meeting."Don't," I warned.Blake sat in the corner, head down. What I could see of his face was red raw. Glitter, as it turns out is harder to remove than anticipated and eyeshadow can actually stain your skin if it's pigmented enough. Lena offered to use more makeup to help us cover it. Blake almost imploded. I had more important things to worry about than dusky purple eyelids. Lena sat by his side, her laughter scarcely suppressed. Blake growled."Well, ladies, let's get things started."We started with discussing training Serena and Kayla, debating who was most important to the cause and who deserved the most time. Both, as white wolves, direct descendent of the Moon Goddess herself, were stronger than any regular wolf. Serena as a descendent of the Royal family was destined to become the strongest living wolf in existence but

Kayla's POV The sun streamed through the white linen curtains, warming my face. The soft mattress cushioned my body. Moments like this made it easy to forget but the war lingered in the back of my mind always there, always waiting to kill the mood. "Enter," I replied to the knock on the door. "Maddox needs you downstairs," Lena told me, grabbing my hand to pull me out of bed. She threw the soft, fluffy pink robe we bought yesterday and lead me down the winding master staircase. People paused to nod and smile as we passed. Although Maddox and I hadn't made it official or completed the mate bond I was their future Luna. "Morning Luna Kayla," Amber grinned she skipped past me with a slice of toast hanging out of her mouth. Maddox swore to protect these people and once I became their Luna I would feel the same sense of duty he did. "Morning," I smiled back. Lena entered the office first, pulling me in behind h

Maddox's POVKayla stood, feet hip-width apart, arms crossed, chin jutting out in defiance. If it wasn't for the sleep ruffled hair sticking out of her head at random angles she'd be almost fearsome. A silence so heavy you could slice it with a knife filled the office."The Lycans will help us," she repeated confidently.Casper shook his head. Lena raised her carefully shaped brows and pursed her lips."She's actually insane," Blake muttered."Kayla," Casper said calmly, taking her tiny hands in his massive bear paws. "The Lycans have never, ever helped werewolves.""But they will now," Kayla insisted.I glanced at the map. It would take us half an hour out of our way but no one else had come up with anything. We needed to protect Casper and Serena at all costs. My pack were fierce warriors but without Blake, Lena and myself they were leaderless. If an attack came Casper's concentration would right

Maddox's POVShadow circled in my mind. Blake and Lena held each other's hands so tight their knuckles glowed."ENTER!" The sound reverberated off the stone walls. My stomach clenched. I inhaled, closed my eyes and pushed the doors open with my eyes closed. The sound of feet shuffling came from behind me.I opened my eyes slowly. Sunlight streamed through tall, stained glass windows, casting a rainbow over the polished stone floor. Intricate tapestries hung from the walls. A red carpet led from the doors to a small set of stairs.The King sat on a large, grey stone chair, his fingers templed together as he looked down at us his head tilted."Mr Mason," He said curtly nodding his head.I stepped forward, "Your Highness.""Last time I checked, I wasn't your King," he sneered. The few Lycans who were gathered in the throne room snickered. I scanned the room. Five Lycans huddled together in

The Patient's POVA burning sensation pulsed through my head like something was screaming inside my brain. My body ached and tensed with lightening hot pain, as if my limbs were twisting and breaking. I tried to open my eyes but the light pierced through me.I didn't know where I was but I knew I needed to be somewhere. Desperately needed to be somewhere. Something was missing. Something more important than anything else in the world. Something more important than air or food. It was like a part of me was missing, ripped away by a terrifying darkness. I took a deep breath, ignoring the stabbing, scratching pain in my ribs, and forced one eye open. The room I was in was dim and dusty but the warm glow from the fire was enough to make my eyeball scream in agony. Despite the pain, I forced my other eye open, squinting against the soft, orange glow of the flames dancing in the open fire. A deep knot tightened in my gut. I didn't know where I was. I frantically scrabbled through my brain,

Alaya's POVI tossed the empty rabbit trap back to the ground, scowling at it as if my rage would somehow shame it into trapping something edible. Without Fyre hunting was next to impossible but my patient would need sustenance if he ever woke up. A few dozen rabbits waited in the freezer for him, hardly enough to last a large werewolf three days. There was no telling how long it would take him to gain the strength to hunt for himself if he ever awoke.I'd snuck into a local human settlement a few days after finding him and stole some supplies. Patrick left a full pantry when he left but he couldn't live on sugar water forever. His body was already smaller and weaker than when I found him three weeks ago.Since Obsidian finally left me I had trawled Cedar Woods day and night, desperately searching for food. Yet more desperate was my search for survivors or any evidence that my people still lived, that Obsidian had not obliterated my entire pack along with every other pack in our regio

Alaya's POV I woke on the soft, mossy mound Henry left me on. The iron tang of blood still rested on my tongue. The horrors of the night came flooding back. The desperate pleas of women and children begging for their lives flooded my mind. It wasn't supposed to be like that. They were supposed to worship me for rescuing them from the moronic leadership of Ralph and his insipid son. The only ones supposed to die were Ralph and Casper and their soldiers. Oh Goddess, the Princess. She was a newborn, only a few days old and innocent. Fat, heavy tears rolled down my cheeks. I wanted power, I wanted revenge for losing Fyre. I wanted people to cower in my shadow. I didn't want terror and massacre. "Hmm," Obsidian murmured as she woke from her slumber. "Last night was the best night of my life," she grinned. "The screams, the terror and the carnage wasn't it just amazing?" "You're insane," I snapped. "You're sick.

Skye's POVWords spewed from the mouths of my friends and my family. My pack, our pack, Maddox's and mine but they made no sense. Maddox was lost. Not gone and yet they insisted on spewing lies at me instead of looking for him. On holding me tight, suffocating me with their grief instead of scouring the lands for him. He wasn't gone. I refused to believe it.We won. Maddox told me we won. Those were the last words he spoke to me before he was lost. Maddox would not lie to me.He promised me if he didn't make it our bond would slowly fade along with the mark he left on my skin but I felt it more than ever. He needed me. He was out there, lost and broken and he needed me."Skye," Blake said holding his hand to me."He's here," I said, "he's right here."I clasped my hand to my heart."Gage has called for transport back to Greystone. We can't stay here."Everything inside me boiled with rage an

Blake POVI dragged myself up from the mud and leaned against a half uprooted tree. Every bone in my body screamed in agony as I scanned the chaos around me. Bodies lay broken and battered. Trees were felled. Dirt and debris still fell from the sky.Skye stood in the middle of it all, howling an agonised howl that burned into my memory like a wretched scar."Maddox! Maddox!"No matter how loud she screamed he offered no reply.I looked over to where I last spotted Lena and my heart crashed to my knees. My stomach twisted into a thick knot. Her tiny, bruised body lay motionless in a crumpled heap against a rock. Blood matted her golden hair."Lena," I croaked still struggling to breathe after the massive blast of energy from Alaya threw me sailing through the skies.

Maddox POVAlaya stormed towards me her amber eyes locked on Henry's lifeless corpse and his blood-soaked son still standing over him with his fangs bloody and dripping. She didn't care who got in her way, her own warriors or mine, they were all fair game.She tossed their bodies aside as if they were nothing more than ragdolls. They smashed into trees or slammed into the ground their bones snapping and cracking as they landed. The anguished wail tearing from her lungs never waned.Skye tried to slow her down throwing the ground beneath her thick, heavy paws into the air. The earth rumbled and shook. Warriors, ours and Alaya's fell down crevices opening in the ground, their bodies buried by the debris raining from the sky.Willow's coven chanted spells, desperately trying to slow the beast down.I readied the syringe and rushed towards it, jumping over fallen trees and broken bodies. the beast fell to all

We'd finally come to an understanding. He respected me and I listened to him and now it was all about to bed.Blake, Lena and Skye were the last to change."You take care of each other," I warned them."And you take care of you," Blake said as he shifted into his wolf."I love you," Skyesobbed as she let Izzy free. I kept my eyes on her massive white wolf as she took off into the herd rushing over the ridge. Lena was last to leave.Lena, my best friend for as long as I could remember. No matter how bad things got she was always at my side, always defending me and watching my back. She was the strongest wold I knew.

Maddox POVWarriors crammed into every inch of the entrance hall. Some spilt out of the kitchen and office, others piled on the balconied landing behind me. Hundreds of warriors, stood waiting for me to address them. Skye stood at my side at the top of the staircase. Casper, Serena, Blake and Lena stood behind me. The silence was sickening, deafening. Even the birds in the trees beyond our fortified walls stopped their singing and listened.Our families were secreted away in Greystone Manor. Whisked away amid tears and goodbyes to safely live another day. We all knew some of us would not live to see them again. My Gran took it hardest of all, wringing her hands in her apron and sobbing hysterically as she was forced into a four-wheel drive and taken away to safety.

A soft smile rested on her lips."Mmm," she sighed, arching her back."It's morning," I whispered brushing a stray curl from her face. Her smile faded. She twisted to her side pulling herself up on her elbow to face me."It's today, isn't it? We go to war today?"I nodded swallowing down the lump in my throat.We had the perfect night last night, alone in the woods with only the song of the crickets for company we finally sealed our bond. We were mates. True, bonded mates and today we go to war with the vilest enemy my people have ever faced.Skye twisted herself around, pulling her knees into her chest as she faced the sunrise. We sat in silence, enjoying the last moments of our final morning on Earth. Golden rays of light kissed Mountain Ridge far in t
