In the distance stood a man Calypso could only remember from her memories. He was still as strong and built as he was in her memories, and she couldn’t have been happier to see him as she ran to him. Nathan was a bit more apprehensive because while he knew that Julio was his father, he’d grown up believing otherwise.
“I’m so happy to see you cariño,” Julio said, hugging his daughter tightly.
“I’m happy to see you too papa,” she replied, hugging him back just as tightly.
Julio let go of her to get a good look at his son. The last time he’d seen his son, he was just a little baby. He’d missed out on all the points in his son’s life because his brother robbed him of that opportunity. However, as Nathaniel stood before him, all he could feel was pride at the man his son had grown up to be.
“Hello son,” he said. Nathan wouldn’t kn
“Like I said before, Nate’s mom hosted the pendant before my father recently took over from her. We just spoke to him now. He is the one who stopped me from tracking my mom, and only because our problems will only get worse after the wars. Whoever has her is even more powerful than everything we’re dealing with now, so we need to act fast with the wars. Also, he believes that Zen may be onto something about Odus having the third pendant, despite what Frazier believes. We also need to retrieve it, and if he doesn’t have it, then we need to find it. To cut everything else short, Nate must be teleported to the White Star Pack house to retrieve an important book on werewolves. From there, we’re exposing Philip together with his son and Nate will then take up his rightful place as King. As soon as we’ve dealt with them, we head straight to the Vampire Kingdom and attack. I think it’s better we attack before we’re attacked, however, I’
“Hear me out here nymph. We send Jeremiah back because people like him are too predictable. He’s going to get there and sing like a canary about his time here, thus firing Phillip up even more for this attack. He will attack tomorrow for sure with Jeremiah’s intel,” Killian explained.“Killian’s onto something, especially since Jeremiah technically doesn’t know much. All he knows is that you remember who he is, what he did to you, you’re an Alpha, and you’re family with vampires. Without the full story, those are all just vague points,” Nathan added.“I can’t do this,” Calypso whispered before leaving the room. Killian wanted to follow after her, but Cassidy stopped him.“Let me take this one,” she suggested, to which he nodded.He understood that some battles were not his to face.Cassidy followed her best friend’s scent and wasn’t all th
“Where am I?” Samantha questioned, but there was no one there to answer her.She was in a beautifully decorated room. The walls were white, and the bedding she was on was just as white. She’d been changed out of her wedding dress and into a more comfortable summer dress. She sat up, not feeling the least bit tired.She wasn’t even sure how long she’d been there for.Wherever there was.She felt really strange. She was yearning for something, but she didn’t have any connection to her wolf. If anything, she didn’t feel the presence of a wolf within her. There was something else there, but she wasn’t terrified of it.She welcomed it.She walked out of the room, intent on finding answers. She could hear someone singing, and she followed the voice. She didn’t expect to find a beautiful woman there with long blonde hair, but she couldn’t see the woman’s face since
“Me? A witch?” Samantha questioned.“Your mother is right Samira. You are a witch. Your witch, much like your brother’s Lycan, were suppressed by your mother’s magic until you were both old enough to take up who you truly are,” Edward said.“And I’m supposed to believe that after all these years, I’ve been a witch the whole time? What about my wolf? What happened to her?” Samantha asked.“She was loaned to you by the Moon Goddess. It was all planned and agreed on by the Higher Powers. As I have said before, you and your brother are destined for greatness, but some things had to be changed, and some lost along the way,” Amaya responded.“This is all too complicated for me to understand,” Samantha admitted.“Would it be better for you if your brother and his mate were around?” Edward asked her. She nodded.“Then we’ll go to them,”
Jeremiah felt like his life stood still. For the first time since his father has said it, it settled on him that his son was gone, but what his mate was saying terrified him even more. He knew many people with blue eyes, but none like Calypso and his son.“The girl had blue eyes like Xavier’s?” he questioned.“She told me what you did to her. They told me that they had you held hostage, and when I tried to protect Xavier, her mate knocked me out. When I woke up, Xavier was gone,” she explained.Jeremiah’s head was spinning as he tried to make sense of what she was saying. According to her, Calypso and Killian had come to fetch Xavier, and they did so while they had him hostage, and yet all he could remember was coming to the castle straight from the wedding.Nothing made sense to him.However, how else would his mate have known about Calypso if she wasn’t telling the truth?“Somebody i
While rooms were being prepared for them, Killian led his parents to his office, while Samantha grabbed Calypso’s hand, leading them outside. Calypso understood that Samantha needed someone to talk to, and in that moment she was that person.“I’m so confused,” Samantha started off.“I can just imagine,” Calypso commented.“It makes sense, but at the same time it doesn’t you know? I mean, what the hell is a Lycan? There’s so much going on and I’m just so lost,” Samantha panicked.“The first thing you’re going to do is breathe, and then you’re going to listen to me ok?” Calypso told her.She nodded before Calypso fully let her in on everything. Now that it was clear which side Samantha was on, Calypso knew that she would need to know everything, especially with the looming danger everywhere.Samantha sat, listening intently. Calypso filled her in on the g
He had locked himself away in the war room, and Vera sighed to herself when she realized that he hadn’t paid her any attention in a while. She couldn’t complain though – not when she knew that he was holding things in.A lot had happened since Calypso had come back into his life, and things were already shaky even before she did. It had only been a couple of months since they’d gotten married, and with the vampire kingdom struggling with unrest, it was almost a reflection of their relationship.She loved Zen with her entire being, that much she’d never contest, but she found herself curious about what life would’ve looked like had she been mated with a normal vampire. Things with Zen had been passionate from the moment they met, but he’d always carried a burden with him.A burden she finally had unravelled before her.There was a lot happening around them, but she was grateful for it all – grateful
They arrived to an empty pack house, unaware that everyone had been instructed to steer clear. They searched the house, finding it strange that the massive pack had disappeared. It wasn’t until they got outside that they were truly mystified.“Where did everyone go?” Vera asked her mate.He was about to respond when his sense caught the high-speed arrow headed their way. He managed to dodge it and get Vera behind him at the same time. There were many more arrows shot their way, and he realized they were under attack.“Go back inside,” he told Vera.He didn’t question why she willingly complied as he was focused on defending his sister’s home. “Whoever you are, show your face.”Instead of a face, a dagger was flung his way, and soon the daggers replaced the arrows. He dodged them all with ease before a group of vampires he’d never before encountered came out of the woods.“Is t
That was the last straw and Phillip commanded the wolves to attack. The pack members watched on in amazement from their hiding places as the Werewolf Prince and Princess took on the rogues by themselves.“Are we even needed here?” Harlan joked lowly, causing silent laughter amongst everyone.It wasn’t long before the rogues were down to half. As Killian had suspected, Phillip had a backup plan as more rogues showed up. Harlan’s question was answered when it started to look like there were too many for the royal siblings to face.And so, the pack came out of hiding to join the fight.Phillip was acting on intel he’d received from his spies and The Assembly of Warriors, but as he watched the fight before him, he realized that he’d been deceived. The intel he’d received led him to believe that this was a fight he could win.And he finally understood then why the crown was never meant to be his.He’d lived in Julio’s shadow for as long as he could remember, and he knew what the people thou
Killian turned to Nathan. “Are you ready to take him on and take the crown?”Nathan nodded. “As I’ll ever be.”Killian turned back to Hunter. “Any sighting of Jeremiah?”Hunter linked Wayne who was at the border before responding. “According to Wayne, he doesn’t seem to be with the group.”“So, how are we going about this?” Cassidy asked.“Well, one can only assume Phillip rallied up some rogues. If that’s the case, we take them out. If, by some off chance, he’s rallied the royal pack, then we only knock them out. They would be under his command, and as King, I’d be able to break it,” Nathan took charge.“Then there’s no need to involve the Lycans. I’d like for them to remain a secret for as long as we can keep the secret. The werewolves will take this fight. You’ll relay the instructions to them,” Killian told the Werewolf Prince.“We’ll also lay back and watch,” Zen added on behalf of the vampires.Killian linked the pack, asking the werewolves to meet him outside. Thanks to Cain’s
Back at Calypso’s pack house, the weather was changing. The skies were unexpectedly darkening, something that thrilled Calypso for whatever reason. She headed to her room to change, before heading outside.Noticing her change in outfit, Cassidy was confused. “Cals, why are you in your training gear?”Calypso shrugged. “Haven’t trained in a while.”It had been almost a year.Cassidy made the realization too. “Huh, guess we can go for some rounds. I’ll be back.”Calypso decided to stretch while waiting for her sister. Word was getting around to the pack members as they gathered around to wacth. Cassidy joined her in stretching just as word got around to Nathan, Cain, and Zen.“Isn’t this an unfair fight?” Zen questioned.“They’re both fantastic fighters in their human forms. The fight becomes uneven if Cally shifts,” Cain corrected.Nathan was particularly excited to see his mate fight. He’d only seen her fight a handful of times, and never against an opponent as powerful as Calypso. No
Jordan sat in the dark, completely exhausted. His wolf had finally settled down, but he found himself feeling empty. Something didn’t feel right. He felt like he’d been played somehow, but couldn’t think of how he even came to that conclusion.He tried to think about why his wolf had lost control, and the beast had shut him out. His pack had gone into hiding, and his memories were filled with a woman he couldn’t recall the name of.He just knew that she meant the world to him.And yet he didn’t feel a mate pull to her.In fact, he felt the very opposite. He felt mateless, like there was still someone out there for him. Something about the notion unsettled him, and the harder he thought about why that was, the more his headache worsened.What he didn’t know was that Amaya had managed to manipulate his memories of Samantha, with help from the Moon Goddess. With Samantha no longer being his mate, they felt that he didn’t need to remember her.Jeremiah arrived at the Twilight Moon Pack an
Elsewhere, the Grey family had just arrived at the area where Amaya’s pack used to be. The older woman felt her heart constrict at the loss she experienced when she was last here. Edward reached out to hold her hand, squeezing it.“How come there’s nothing here?” Samantha asked as they stared out at the nothingness.Amaya sighed. “That’s probably my fault. I lost everyone important to me that day, except you three, and out of anger, I lashed out and cursed the land. I don’t doubt that people tried over the years to occupy the land, but my spell would’ve eventually driven them away.”Killian touched his mother’s shoulder out of comfort. “Did you guys ever find out who attacked the pack?”Edward shook his head. “We’ve had our theories over the years, but no concrete evidence ever led us down a certain path.”“What about Hans’ descendants?” Kill
