His Alpha had already gave him the number of a "cleaning team" to help but he was decided to do it all by himself. Suddenly his phone rang and he quickly looked at the number; he wasn't expecting anyone else to call him except Aeneas, but he was surprised to read it was actually Alex.

"He... Hello?" He hesitated at first then heard Alex grunt on the other side of the line.

"Craig, why did you have to change the shifts of the tower watchers? And why on earth would you move the traps that far behind! You should have called me before doing any of this!" A small growl was heard and quickly he started to laugh. "It's not funny Craig!"

"I am sorry Alex, but Alpha ordered me to make some changes... if you check on the report I left you, you will see I made all the right justifications for those and other changes I made..."

"What?! More changes?! What else did you do?! And where is that supposed report?!" Alex snarled at someone else near him and Craig laughed harder. He wouldn't be laughi

    *Uncertain Future*He was waiting for her on the waiting room when his phone rang. He saw a private number and took a deep breath before picking up. "Hello.""Craig, am I correct?" A voice sounded faintly from the other side."Yes, Aeneas I suppose?" He replied."The one and only..." The amused voice chuckled. "Me and my people are ready to go where your leader is.""At four in the afternoon, meet me in the restaurant where you met my Alpha. I will pick you and your people there and lead you to your next destination." Craig replied, as serious as he could be."Until four then." Aeneas said and cut the call.Craig sighed and slid his fingers through his hair, his heart was both with his pack and his mate, yet he hadn't been able to advance more with the second one."Is everything ok Craig?" The soft voice of his mate made him smile, he lifted his gaze and saw her standing close to him."Yes, just work stuff, I might need to make a trip tomorrow... how is your mom?" He asked her

    They both joined Crista and had some sandwiches to eat, during the time Crista couldn't stop smiling as she saw Craig joke and make both of them laugh. She sighed thinking what a nice guy he was, and how much she wished he would be younger to date her daughter. Maybe that way she wouldn't have to worry with whom she would be left once she was gone. She pushed those thoughts aside and tried to enjoy the moment, her daughter was going to turn 18 soon and she wanted her happy about it. "Are you going to be here for Bella's party tomorrow, Craig?" She asked him and he sighed."I just found out it is her birthday, I have to travel tomorrow back to Caleb and Meadow, they both need me, but I told Bella here, that I would compensate her for that, if it is ok with you of course..." He offered Crista a smile; Bella was blushing deeply."Awww that is very sweet of you Craig, please give my regards to Meadow, I am sorry I couldn't say goodbye to her before her trip. Where is she, by the way?" Cr

    *Making Life Changing Choices*Meadow laughed hard and Caleb began to chuckle. Craig sighed with frustration and remained quiet."Crista is a really smart woman Craig, she would have realized you were hovering around them too often. Don't worry, I am sure she will change her mind when you tell her the truth. Because you are going to tell her the truth, right?" Meadow told him and he frowned."I can wait for her to be gone first, and then court Bella..." Craig said and Caleb shook his head."I bet even you don't believe in that to be possible... you crave to be near her since the moment you left. I felt as if a piece of me was missing each time I had to be away from Meadow, I know you must be feeling the same." Caleb pointed out.Craig sighed again and looked through the window. "I really don't know what to do.""We have plenty to do here Caleb, but I am sure Alex can take care of the reconstruction while we make a trip? I would love to see Crista again and maybe I can ease some o

    He was jealous and angry at the same time, but he controlled himself watching them walk slowly to the entrance. She seemed lost, though; as if she was being forced to listen to him. He kept talking to her while she would simply nod and draw a small smile. When they were about to reach the door, she instinctively looked towards Craig, and her smile brightened her face. She waved at him and in return, he smiled back at her.The talking companion seemed at a lost when he found himself talking alone, she had ran to Craig and jumped to his arms squeezing him. "You came back!"He chuckled and closed his eyes, letting his arms wrap around her to hold her softly. He took a deep breath and filled his lungs with her scent. "Yes, I said I would. I keep my promises." He lied, and he felt very guilty for having thought about being away from her until Crista was gone. After all, she was Bella's mother and was only trying to protect her, he should be thankful of the special attention the woman gave

    *The Kiss*As Bella walked into her mother's room, she was bearing a bright smile. "Hi mother, I am sorry, I found Craig at the entrance and he told me you were with Meadow, so I waited there."Crista smiled to her daughter and kissed her cheeks as she waited for her to sit at her side. She then saw Craig standing at the door with his head down. "Hello Craig, it is very nice to see you again, please come in."He walked in slowly, closing the door behind him. Then he took a deep breath and turned to see Crista. "Hello Crista, I am glad to see you are better, and I heard you are coming out tomorrow."The woman nodded and smiled, she was a little nervous too. Not long ago she found out who Craig really was and what her daughter was to him. She still had trouble completely believing in what Meadow told her but it was hard to deny the truth when Meadow herself had shifted in front of her.Craig offered Bella her school bag and she giggled taking it from him, turning around to speak to

    She soon joined him and both shared a well-deserved moment of relaxation with chuckles when Bella walked back into the room. She smiled watching them both get along."Bella darling, I want to sleep early tonight, and I have my show on tv about to start, so why don't you and Craig go home? I have a big day tomorrow, the nurses will throw me a farewell party." Crista said while she pulled the tv control and turned it on.Bella looked in surprise to her mother and then at Craig. "Are you sure mother?" She asked."Of course I am sure dear, go ahead... I hope to see you tomorrow Craig." Crista said without taking her eyes from the tv.Craig chuckled and nodded. "You can bet on that, Crista. I will be here.""Good, good... good bye you two." She dismissed them both and Craig pulled Bella's bag from her again, holding the door open for her.Bella was still surprised by the way her mother acted when she walked into the taxi with Craig. Once inside, he sat next to her and smiled to her as

    He observed her new routine, as it was not the same as before; she was still working on the same bar, but no longer did she work at the Library. He thought it odd, she seemed like the kind of woman who would prefer the books than serving other people. Instead, she was working one shift but with extra hours. At least, she had been doing so for the last four nights. It took him that long to decide to go and introduce himself to her.She locked the bar as her shift finished, and with her handbag tightly pressed to her arm, she started walking to the bus stop, the one that was three blocks away.He watched her walk cautiously and rush her steps as she got closer; he didn't interrupt her at any moment, he wanted to make sure she got home safe.She walked out of the bus and headed to the humble apartment building where she lived; she made a stop on the first floor, where she gave Miss Hather a bag with leftovers for her dinner. The other bag had some for herself, and she felt more than ha

    He continued to observe her and felt uncomfortable with the position he put himself in; he felt as if he was spying on her, and he felt that was beneath him.So he decided to do something different. When she finished locking the bar, he stood some feets away, and cleared his voice. "Ehm, would you mind if I walk you home?"She was startled, but the smile on her face pleased him. She walked towards him and stopped right in front. "Yes, please. I would feel safer with you at my side."He bowed his head, and she waited for him to move, but he was unsure of even how to walk her home, so after some uncomfortable seconds, she made the first step to him. He ended right at her side. She chuckled, and extended her arm just to slide it around his. It was a bold move, she wasn't sure he would like it, but he didn't object it, and he walked closer to her then she expected.She knew she was crazy, from a very young age, she had always been odd and peculiar, but with him, she felt normal.

    *Meadow*The sun casts a warm golden glow, as if trying to heal the scarred landscape left by the war. Fields, once lush and green, lie ravaged, but sprouts of new life fight their way through the wreckage. The earth seems to be slowly stitching itself back together, just as we are.I sit anxiously as I wait for Sol to walk down the flowered aisle. She chose this place as the setting for her wedding, and when I asked her why, she said she wanted to honor those people who fell during our battle."Look at that," Xavier says, pointing to a small group of deer grazing in the distance. "Life always finds a way.""Indeed," I reply, my voice catching in my throat. The sight is both beautiful and heartbreaking. It's hard not to think of those who never got to see this moment of renewal.Right after the battle, we spent our days rebuilding the world around us, not only the physical structures, but also the hearts and minds of those left behind. It's a slow and arduous process, but with each bri

    *Solveigh*My consciousness returns slowly, as if emerging from the depths of a murky abyss. The voices around me are hushed and indistinct, like echoes in a fog. I strain to understand them, but they remain elusive.‘Sol,’ Seth's voice resonates within my mind, warm and reassuring. ‘You're going to be okay. You need more rest before your body can fully recover.’I want to respond, to tell him how tired I am, but my limbs are heavy and unresponsive. My eyelids feel weighed down, as if encased in stone. It's frustrating, this inability to move or communicate.‘Mom... Dad…’ I try to call for them in my thoughts, hoping Seth will relay my message.Footsteps approach, and I sense their familiar presence even before I hear dad's deep, calming voice. "Seth, how is she?""Her body is still too weak to talk or open her eyes or move yet," Seth explains gently. "But she can hear us."My heart swells with gratitude. They came, just as I knew they would. I wish I could see their faces or embrace t

    *Caliope*I watch Amral crumple to the ground, his eyes rolling back as he loses consciousness. Panic surges through me like a tidal wave, drowning out all other emotions. The dark creatures circle him, preparing to tear him apart, and something inside me snaps."Amral!" I scream, my voice cracking under the weight of my fear and desperation. He can't die; not now, not like this. My love for him, my need to protect him, fuels my anger and pain. I have more to fight for than ever before."Get away from him!" I roar, focusing all my dark powers into a singular force. Shadows stretch out from my fingertips, wrapping around the monstrous beings that threaten his life. I tug at the darkness, sending the creatures flying away from his motionless body."Please, you can't leave me," I whisper, tears streaming down my face. Desperation echoes through my voice, and I feel it deep within my soul. "You can't die."The creatures recover quickly, turning their attention towards me. But I'm not afrai

    *Solveigh’s*I step through the black hole portal, and my breath catches in my throat. The darkness enveloping me is thick, almost tangible, and I feel like I'm choking on it. Panic rises within me as I sense the presence of the creatures, born from the shadows and chaos that surround us."Sol," Seth's voice rings out, startling me. He's right beside me, his strong hand gripping mine. He steadies myself emotionally. My panic begins to subside a little, replaced by a sense of calm that only Seth can provide. "We'll get through this," he whispers, his eyes filled with determination."Where are they? Amrafel, Caliope," I call out, searching for our companions. Within seconds, they materialize before us, their powerful auras cutting through the darkness. Amrafel's eyes are like twin flames, lighting up his face, while Caliope's gaze is as sharp as obsidian."Ready to fight these dark creatures?" Amrafel asks, his voice low and steady. Caliope nods, her face set in grim resolve. I feel conf

    *Solveigh*I feel like I am in a new state of existence, and every inch of my body is running with electricity; something else has replaced my blood, and the adrenaline is addictive. Seth’s hand presses on my back and I know the reason why I haven't fainted is that of him.A large creature falls close to me and I jump, but quickly regain my focus, not wanting to be distracted, but the smell that comes from its corpse is making me nauseous. I shiver slightly but lock my eyes on my brother Ian, and then I feel ready to try more.It is not the first time; I have done this before, transferring my abilities, affecting them in a way that helped them, enhancing them. I know I can do this, and so, I feel myself reach to Xavier and he shudders slightly, then his voice booms, and it starts to affect the lesser creatures that screech in what now has become a battlefield.I can’t erase the smile on my face; we are making things happen, they are stepping away, so many of them are on the floor alrea

    *Xavier*‘They are here,’ are Ian’s words. Words that reach me just as I finish kissing my mates.I rush outside and I see Ian in the middle of the large field, he is looking up to the sky and my eyes follow his. A black pool of nothingness is starting to grow, and I see the elementals panicking as they whisper things in different languages and I know my brother feels them more than me.This angers me; it is not like we weren’t expecting them. Sure, we didn’t know specifically when they were going to attack again, but we had been preparing for them.I focus on the fire elementals and I let my command voice do its job. “Gather up! Get ready! Distraction is needed very fast! Chop chop!”Uncle Aen is quickly joining them, keeping his calm as he looks at me and nods, he knows the time has come. I turn to look at my mates and I feel caught up in the same panic; my mates need to be safe.“Don’t you stand there, you need to get over there and help take them down,” Dana pulls me out from the s

    *Meadow*I rush into the cabin, and I find a small gathering in the living room. I don’t understand why everyone is here and not inside helping my Sol. Caleb quickly reaches me and we both walk straight towards her bedroom door.Until Xavier stops us.“Son?” I ask, confused and angry at the same time. “What is happening?”“Mother, wait… Sol is actually ok, she was taken to Caliope’s father to help.”His words feel almost like a foreign language to me. “I can’t feel her mind, what do you mean with all this?”I look at Caly and she actually looks back at me with a face filled with confusion and fear. It is Lucifer who speaks for her. “I have been many eons in my own prison, so I know what he is doing. He has felt a connection to Sol, so he has used her to send a message to us. He can’t hold it for long, so she should be back very soon.”Her words make some sense, and I understand why Caly is a bit shaken by this. I look at her and nod, trying to contain myself as well, showing her that

    *Solveigh*I walk through a path of tall and untamed grass. Wild dandelions fly as I walk by them, and the sun shines at its peak, yet its heat is soothing, not overwhelming. The wind blows on my face, and there is pure peace embracing me.Am I dreaming?No, this is not a dream, it is so real. I feel the grass at the tip of my fingers and I sense the texture of them. I see a cabin, a very old one, and a scarecrow that is standing in the middle of the empty land. I frown as I notice that there are no crows nor any animals around us.Everything seems so eery and quiet. Too quiet.As the seconds pass and I keep walking, I get worried, something is about to happen or is happening. I am not sure what it is, even though I keep looking all around me, but something doesn’t fit. Is like I am inside a painting, a living painting.It is when I open my mouth to talk, that I realize that I have no voice as well, and now, I know this must be a nightmare.‘Seth, can you feel me?’ I try to reach for

    *Caleb*I watch as Aen handles the elementals calmly. It is not an easy task, yet his experience in battle allows to use his command voice with every one of them. It is something out of an epic story, and yet we find ourselves helpless while we wait.Ebony and Ivory are having a small talk with Sol, the angels like her a lot, which ensures her protection. Is not like she would need so much of it, she is her own worst enemy. But to know they are fond of my daughter just makes me happy.“Where are your thoughts?” Amra asks me as I keep staring at my daughter and the angels.“My thoughts are a bit drifting, I don’t like the idea of coming to a war unprepared,” I admit to him. I know he is also worried, although he shows himself much more calm and collected.“I understand that, and it does bring me worries. I like to be in control of the situation, but nothing that is happening is under our control… in fact, I think the only thing under our control is the lack of actions.”I sigh and shak
