*Meadow*

I don't remember when exactly I fell asleep, I just remember him holding me close in silence while I fought my dizziness and his closeness. Yes, I was really losing my mind, how could I be so lost in this stranger's presence? I needed to know more about him, or at least try to find out who he was apart from a mysterious knight. My mysterious knight.

I sat on the queen sized bed and felt a strong pain that almost blinded me. Ah yes, this was something I was familiar with. I was having a migraine, and I had to find my medicine. The problem was, I left it at home.

A gentle knock on the door brought my attention, I had my eyes squeezed tight, so I was only able to see halfways as the pain subsided a few moments, a new sting would strike soon.

"Meadow? Are you awake?" I heard his dark voice while he opened the door. I didn't want him to see me like this, but he was inside already before I could reply. "What is wrong? Are you ok?" I barely opened my eyes and saw he had a plate with him that quickly pushed it on a coffee table before he rushed next to me. He lifted his arm and took a hold on my wrist; apparently, at some point, I lifted my hands and was squeezing my head with them.

"Hi, Caleb... it's a migraine... I have them from time to time, but my medicine is back at home." I whimpered as the thunder-like sting pierced my skull.

He pulled the phone on the bedside table and ordered "Get some migraine painkillers, anything. Call the nurse. Now!"

The way his voice echoed in my head gave me a strange mix of sensations; it made me listen, it drew me in, and it made my head hurt even more. I winced, and he sat closer to me, rubbing his fingers on my temple. "I am sorry, I shouldn't have raised my voice."

I shook my head and smiled vaguely. "I am giving the worst first impressions, aren't I." I was truly disappointed with myself. He held me tight by my shoulders and rocked me slightly.

I raised my eyes and found his ones tired and worried. "Don't say that. You are far from disappointing. Here, lay down, the nurse should be here soon."

I smiled as I closed my eyes and felt his hand gently taking mine, holding it. Oh god, what was he doing? Was this real? It felt like my body would combust any moment just by the way he touched me, and I know how ridiculous that sounds.

There was a knock on the door, and he whispered a welcome. I opened my eyes and saw an old woman standing close to us.

"Do you know if she is allergic to any kind of medication, Alpha?" The woman said. 'Alpha,' that word again, not the first time I hear it, maybe his last name?

"I have no idea, can't you give her something to relieve the pain?"

"I can try, but it is a risk if we don't know her body reactions. Let me..."

"I am not allergic to anything as far as I am aware..." I interrupted her, I wanted something now, and her arguments only kept prolonging any soon relief.

"You heard her." He encouraged the woman to do her job. She put her suitcase on the chair next to the bedside table and opened it. After a few seconds, she had a syringe and pulled liquid from a small glass bottle. She efficiently took a small piece of cotton from a jar, I could smell the alcohol in it, she kneeled next to me and rubbed the cotton on my arm, next thing I knew, she slid the needle into my arm and then removed it just as fast. She got up and stood there watching.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I felt the pain give in slowly, but even its slow pace was faster than any medicine I had ever tried. I opened my eyes again, and the nurse was nowhere to be seen, I tilted my head and looked around, but she was gone. There was only him.

"How do you feel?" He whispered as he rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb.

"What did she give me? I feel much better, it's amazing!" I was really surprised, he smirked and tilted his head back to release a short laugh.

"She has magic hands, is what I keep telling myself." He said with the most amused look on his face.

I blushed and smiled at him. "Thank you again, Caleb, you keep saving me one way or another."

He gave a softer smile and finally released my hand.

    *Meadow*He walked to the coffee table and picked up his plate, then brought it to me. He sat on the end of the bed and laid himself against the back post. He lifted both hands and locked them together at the back of his head taking a relaxed stance. His muscles were toned and perfect. He had a black shirt and dark gray sweatpants."I thought you might be hungry, since you refused to eat last night," His words brought my attention back to his eyes. Only then I looked at the plate on my lap and saw a neatly cut sandwich with a glass of juice.My tummy growled. I was starving. "Thank you, I guess I am hungry."He chuckled and waited for me to take a few bites, I was really nervous to have him watching me eat, but my hunger won.After a few more bites, he cleared his throat. "Do you mind if I let my curiosity speak for me?"I almost choked and took a long sip of the delicious juice before I got the courage to look at him again. I say this because I could really get lost in those poo

    *Meadow*So there I was, loving that simple and comfortable dress. A sexy lingerie which made me feel hot and bothered inside. As I was about to knock on the door of his study, I heard a loud thump and something being cracked or broken, perhaps both. I knocked on the door and opened it before I got an answer. "Caleb? Are you ok?"I saw him crush a phone with his hand while a vase laid broken in pieces on the floor. He turned around to face me, and I saw the anger in his gaze that slowly turned into sadness. What was troubling him I didn't know, but I wanted to erase the sadness from his eyes. "Meadow..." He whispered, and I saw small drops of blood coming from his tight grip on the now broken cell phone. I rushed to him and took his hand, trying to make him release its tight grip.At first, he looked at me in shock, his dark eyes distracting me for a second but then I looked around and saw an open door that led to a bathroom. I pulled him with me, and he followed me in silence. Once

    *Meadow*He led me through a corridor and then the central stair that took us to the front of the house. It was an enormous residence, with at least two floors on its grounds. He opened the door and made a gesture for me to walk out first. I almost giggled, he was such a gentleman, and my mother would have been drooling over him.I could finally admire close at hand the beautiful settings. The gardens were untamed, slightly cut here and there just to make it less wild but I could see how most of it was untouched. He led me through a path of rocks and dirt, and we finally arrived at a clearing between the trees. There I saw a blanket, several plates with fruits and salty treats next to my wine. I gasped and looked at him, he had a huge grin on his face. "I hope you don't mind," I was blushing and smiling from ear to ear.We both sat on the blanket and enjoyed a delightful evening. We talked about silly things, the weather, how tall should the grass be allowed to grow before it became

    *Caleb*She was suspecting but not believing I got this place just to be closer. I couldn't pass the chance, the owners had been trying to sell it for years, and they gave me a good price for the land. I didn't know how I was going to survive the next couple of days without seeing her. I need to leave her guarded. Perhaps Alex can have some time looking after her in my absence.My wolf was pacing, wanting me to do more, but I could scare her if I did. The mating pull is a painful torture, we are entitled to claim her, but she was human, and we needed to court her. She deserved it, my wolf agreed with a huff and laid in all fours looking at me with annoyance. He knew I was right. Convincing your beast is not easy sometimes.I accompanied her to the guest room so she could gather her stuff. On the way, she was silent and pensive. I was dying to know what she was thinking, what she was feeling. Once we got to the garage she gasped at my cars, I chuckled. I am a proud collector, and I b

    *Meadow*Monday came too quickly. I was still trying to wake up while I drank my 3rd cup of coffee at the boss's office and I was doing my best to ignore Gideon, my supervisor, in the staff meeting. He had been arguing how people had slowed down their 'production, ' and we were not meeting our standards. I just wanted to tell him people would actually work better without seeing his face staring at them constantly. I could not say that out loud, though, as it would be too bold of me after Friday's argument.Instead, I decided to think of a pair of dark eyes, and that thought made me blush instantly. I was thinking about our lunch yesterday, how we both were just carefree and relaxed. I've never felt him tense, or as if he was hiding something from me, he was only open and fun. Except for that moment when I caught him at his study wrecking his cellphone, he had been a gentleman with me. I could still smell his earthy cologne after we hugged each other when we said goodbye. I almost for

    *Meadow*I went to a line to get the sandwich while he grabbed us a table. I was smiling from ear to ear again, he had that effect on me. I got to the cashier, ordered my sandwich and two juices, and then paid.As I got back, I noticed he had changed his smile for a more neutral look; he was staring at the window until I sat down and he looked back at me, a small smile reached only his mouth, not his eyes."What is wrong?" I asked as I gave him the juice he allowed me to get him. And I say this because he wanted to buy all for me, but I refused.He looked at me and shook his head. "Nothing to worry, Meadow. And thank you for the juice, you didn't have to."He made me chuckle. "Of course I had to, you did much more for me with a fancy lunch out in the open." He laughed, and I could stare at him like that for hours."So, I think you have a fan. Well, one more besides me that is." He said just casually, and I almost choked on my drink."What?" I managed to say. Did he just admit to

    *Meadow*"Well for one, he is an asshole." He said as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Pardon my language." He added looking back at me, and I smiled. "I think you did well, there are limits to what an employer can request from its employees, and he has been pushing that line one too many times with you. I am pleased I took the chance to come find you today. Please promise me to take care of yourself from now on, this guy seems overly interested in you, and I don't like it. At least, be careful until I can come back from my trip and keep you safe." He said with a smile, and I just melted right there."So you will come back to town?" I admitted, my hopes were high."Did you doubt it before?" He said almost offended. I blushed and lowered my head. He retook my hand and pulled my chin up with his other one. "I am a man of my word. I will be back by the end of the week, and we will go out on a proper date if you allow me to take you out. I really want to get to know you better Mead

    *Caleb*I haven't stop pacing around my office as my third in command reported to me about our recovery operation. Craig has been nervous because we left him in charge. However, he understood the seriousness of the situation, and for his first solo, he has done rather well. We both had laid a plan to get our troops recovered and in training, remodeled security shifts and reinforced our compound to make sure no one dares to cross our land barriers again. It was all of a huge importance, and I kept trying to focus. I still felt the tingles on my lips from our kiss. My mate was far from me, and I craved her touch, no matter how innocent that might be."Alpha, we can continue this later if you feel the need to rest." He said after clearing his throat. I sighed and put a hand on his shoulder."I am sorry Craig, I am just... distracted... but I can see already how things have improved with your assessment and guide. I see the result of our plans. Alexei is going to be back in around a wee

    *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
