INICIAR SESIÓNThe surrounding darkness was familiar. I was floating in the abyss of black that I had found myself in once before. I relaxed into it instead of fighting it this time. If I died this time, I only hoped that I had saved my parents. “You did.” Selene’s voice floated from the distance, and I sighed in relief. “Good.” I had nobody here, but I still felt my soul release. “Good.”“Do you not care about anyone else?” Her voice was curious.“I do. But I know that Rowan would have fought tooth and nail to save everyone once I was gone.” I chuckled. “He would be heartbroken, but he is a good king, and a better man. He would make sure everyone was safe before he allowed himself to break down over my death.”“Always so confident.” Hecate’s voice was amused. “I think we may have created a monster, sister.”Selene laughed, her voice growing closer. “No.” I felt something behind me, but I couldn’t turn, couldn’t move. “We created a queen.” Her voice was next to my ear. “Are you not sad you are he
I watched to say something else, but the wolf attached to me started to shake. At first I thought it was trying to tear out my throat, but I realized its jaws released and it was shaking still. I opened my jaws and jerked back, but the wolf just fell to the ground. The shaking grew in intensity, and then it started to foam at the mouth. It reminded me of a dog with rabies, but we couldn’t catch rabies. “It’s the wolfsbane and silver.” Rowan’s voice caught me off guard, and I spun. He was standing behind me, watching the wolf. “I think the vials were to coat the teeth, as another weapon, but if they aren’t careful enough, and swallow some of the contents. This is what will happen. They boil themselves from the inside.”I grimaced as I turned back. “It looks painful.”“It is.” He nodded. I saw Sequan take a hit, and go down. I sprinted over, tackling the wolf on top of him. Before I even had a thought, Nix had ripped out the wolfs throat, and we were moving on. Wolf after wolf we foug
I felt the spell ripple out, and one by one every wolf that held a moon on its head lit up in my mind. Megan trembled as one after another connected to the spell. What is this, Amy?The only way I could think of to help everyone survive. I whispered back to them in my mind. I felt the power drain kick in, and I stumbled a step. A wolf took that as a cue to attack, but Rowan was there to intercept. He turned to me once the wolf was dead. “Are you okay?”I nodded as the spell settled. “Yeah.” I sounded breathless. “Just need a minute to adjust.”What the fuck is that? Someone I couldn’t pinpoint screamed. Silvermoon, focus on the attack. We can debrief after. My father’s words cut in. He figured I was doing a spell and needed it to stay quiet. I waited for my body to get used to the drain. Nix. I need you to go to my father. Amy, I don’t want to leave you. She pulled back, already knowing how I would answer. Be quick then. I need you to explain to my father, and just make sure every
My words hung in the air, and then Sequan staggered. “Silas.” He groaned and nearly dropped to the ground. “Something is wrong with Silas.” He looked to me. “Fuck.” I spun and started running. Rowan and Sequan caught up with me as I headed straight towards the fighting. “Why fuck?” Sequan panted next to us. Rowan looked over at the guard. “Because Silas is a three hundred-year-old Alpha that spent most of that being the man that trained the entire Royal Guard. He should be one of the last of us to be hurt in any attack, mainly because he is just that good. Out of everyone here, he has survived wars, attacks, and single-handedly trained Lycans to battle.”Sequan nodded. “Yeah…I know all of that.”“Then why did Rowan and Silas get hurt?” I panted as I ran. “Out of everyone here. All the strongest men are getting hurt.”Sequan nodded. “It makes sense because they had the4 most attacking them.”“I was poisoned.” Rowan pointed out the obvious.Sequan stumbled. “So you are saying that so
I rushed to his side. The pain must have been unbearable if it forced a shift. I shifted from Nix wolf’s form to my human body so I could check him over with my hands. I wrapped my arms around him and helped him to his feet. “Are you okay?” He nodded once, but I could see how tired he was. “Is the power I am feeding you enough to get through this?” I looked towards the pack house. “We still have to finish this.” He grunted once. “I can get through it.” He winced as he turned to me. “It just hurts to breathe…and move…and be alive.” He snorted and then grimaced. Kiss him. Nix trotted to the clearing. Megan is pulling power and feeding it to Erubus. If you do the same and push power into his human body, we might be able to get him through the silver poisoning faster. “Here goes nothing.” I murmured as I pulled his face down to my lips. “Amy…” He whispered before I kissed him. I heard Sequan cough before he turned away. “I’ll watch your back.” He sounded confused, but he was smart en
I started attacking before I could think. My mate was in the center of this death ring of attackers, and I had to get to his side. Megan! I screamed, and I watched her wince. Start funneling him power. He’s weak and not healing. Okay! She ran back into the trees. And soon I felt the pull of power, and my stomach untwisted. Rowan’s head snapped up, and I saw a little panic enter his eyes. “GO!” He bellowed at me as I grabbed another wolf and shook it. Sequan dodged in next to me, and together we started tag teaming the wolves from the back. “I said leave me!” Rowan screamed again after he had swiped the face off a wolf trying to sneak in from behind. I refused to answer him or even look at him. He wasn’t going to convince me to leave him here, ready to die at the edge of the fight. “Stupid man.” I growled lowly as I raked my claws down another’s flank. It took a few deaths before the crowd realized we were attacking from the back. Some turned to face us, but they were no match for
