*Caleb*

She adjusted herself on my back as we walked back into the woods to meet those damn pale ones. I was going to reap their heads apart if they didn't give me a good excuse for what happened to her. I admired her courage, since she was still a little shaken but wanted to come with me.

"You know I can walk..." She said with a sigh, and I shook my head; I was keeping her with me until we got there and she wasn't leaving my sight. Alex was at my side and Cara not far away walking in her human form, we brought only 4 more wolves with us and left Craig guarding home with the rest of my warriors. We didn't need many, even though drows are highly skilled, there is something we've got and they fear. That is; lack of fear. They are manipulative and secretive, but we don't go around things, we ask and want answers, if none, we strike. I was prepared for bloodshed.

Meadow scratched my neck and whispered. "When are we going to be there? I feel a little dizzy."

"We are close darling, don't

    *Meadow*The creature smiled and moved back several steps, and as he did, shadows seemed to avoid him. I looked up at Caleb and he remained patient, looking ahead to the woods. "How do you feel?" He asked me and I kissed his arm."I am safe, and proudly at your side," I replied, happy to see him smile.It didn't take much for the creature to return, he led a small court of four of his kind; a beautiful glowing woman was walking between them, and I knew that that should be their Queen. She was tall with sad, gloomy eyes as well, but something about her eyes in particular, drew me in a world different from ours; as if it held its own universe in them.She had a dress made of some mystical fabric, it glowed and moved with her each step she gave. Wisps around her seemed to focus on her feet and hands, until she signaled them away. She arrived in front of us and bowed her head as well as Caleb did in return."Greetings, Wolf King and Queen," She said looking at Caleb and me. I blushed

    *Meadow*I woke up laughing as I felt Caleb's wolf tongue lap at my face repeatedly. I rubbed my face with a hand and tried to push him apart with the other. "I'm awake! I'm awake!" I told him and started giggling loudly, he huffed and playfully nuzzled his wet nose on my neck. "Ewww Caleb!" I laughed and he backed away giving me room and time to sit.I stretched my arms and smiled at him as I sat on the bed. "So, are we mingling today?" I asked curiously, he hadn't let me go too close to the other wolves and I felt like he was over protecting me. No one would harm me if they were all part of the pack, and he as their leader should show them he trusted in them that much. So I tried to convince him every now and then.He huffed again and pulled from my cover, exposing my legs, then moved his head pointing the door and I nodded, getting up to follow him. We went to the kitchen where I found Cara giggling as she watched something on the TV. "Hey, Cara, where is Alex?" I asked and she t

    *Meadow*"So I have to pick something to do, right? As a volunteer," I asked Cara while we walked past a couple who smiled and bowed their heads at me, I blushed and did the same."Oh no, you are the Luna, your one and only role is to be with Caleb. No one here expects you to volunteer at anything."I frowned. "If he doesn't let me go with him to the command center, how am I supposed to be with him? Cara, I want to help. I could enjoy not doing much for now but, in time I will need a task to complete."She sighed. "Well, I don't see why not, he shouldn't be really against the idea. Maybe you and Gideon can work together creating something that you used to do at your job?"I blinked in surprise. "Cara, did someone explained all of this to Gideon? What is he doing?""Yes, he was taught along with an introduction of the area and our daily tasks. He hasn't chosen anything yet, or any job. We gave him time to adjust. He lives in that house over there," She said and pointed to a house

    *Meadow*"No, not harm you, but... well... you see, Caleb craves you, just like you crave him. This comes in more than one level, and now especially physically. You both have been together intimately as humans, but his wolf hasn't mated you yet. Our wolves are like spoiled children, when it comes to this, they want what they want and will do what it takes to get it. His wolf wants you badly, and he fights him in order to control him and not scare you." She said in a calm tone, yet I was anything but calm at her revelations. She saw my nervousness and put her arm around me with a smile. "He isn't going to force you, he is afraid to lose you. He is always arguing with himself, with his wolf, to calm him down and focus. But sooner or later you both need to talk about this. We need Caleb in his full force if Cornelius decides to attack directly.""So you are saying... I have to mate with him as wolf?" I asked and a shiver ran through my body; my heart was beating fast and although my min

    *Meadow*She blinked a couple of times and tried to hide the pain I already saw flash in her eyes. "The most vicious rogues in our history," She said with a cold angry voice."I understood that much from what the drows said. I also understand if you don't want to talk about it Cara, really," I offered her a chance and she shook her head."Cornelius is angry at the world and wants to take over everything, he is smart and heartless, a senseless killer. And the Goddess made a damn good job pairing him with Agape, the crazy psycho. She is simply insane. She loves going into battle to rip their enemies apart herself, she loves the taste of blood all over her. She really is out of the world, she is a sadist bitch and her mate too, and they together are a mighty force.""And rogues are...?""Those who don't feel like wanting to follow an Alpha's orders, leave the pack and go alone on their own. To be a rogue is to go against the treaties with other packs, to do what you want, kill what y

    *Meadow*I always found shelter in Caleb's arms, and as I entered the command center, he pulled me to him, right where I wanted to be. Cara took me there after he mentally reached out and called for us."We've made a good borderline protection with the drows. Isilwen has personally made sure the barriers are uncomfortable enough for them to slow down and throw up before they know what is happening, which will send an immediate alert to us and will give us time to prepare. I am pulling resources and making use of advanced security technology to set up some traps with wolfs bane, it is what set them back last time," Caleb said proudly, he was running his hands soothingly up and down my back as I took in his warmth."Alpha, Craig has something to report. I think is not good," Alex said and Caleb tensed. Seconds later, Craig entered the room as a wolf, he huffed and growled, visibly angry at what he had to report. I tried to move around and Caleb held a firm grip on me, not letting me g

    *Meadow*After a quick lunch, he took a shower and I laid on the bed comfortably, still processing Cara's words during our walk in the morning. I still had goosebumps when I thought about meeting Caleb's wolf, the real wolf, and the thought of bedding him was scary and attractive at the same time. I closed my eyes and sighed, then felt his wet arms wrap around me; he laid naked next to me and I giggled at the contact of his warm and steamy body against mine. "Where is your mind?" He whispered."What do you mean?" I asked tilting my head to look at him; he loves keeping me spooned, but I managed to turn around and face up to see him better."I asked you for a towel and you didn't reply. Is there something troubling you?" He asked, not really concerned but curious. I felt his gaze melting me slowly, and I closed my eyes trying to find the words to approach the subject.Yes, no matter how much I trusted him, talking about having sex with an animal was still a strong taboo in my head a

    *Meadow*He dropped down to his knees and shifted effortlessly, I found myself caught by the beauty of his transformation. He was much larger than the other werewolves and Cara said it was the alpha bloodline running through his veins. There was a sense of royalty and elegance in the way he moved and each part of his grey fur shined.And there he stood at the edge of the bed and he huffed a few times, his paw scratching his maw. I slowly crawled the sheets towards him and reached to scratch him with a smile. I knew this was a trick to present himself less scary to me and I appreciated the gesture. He licked my hand and I took a deep breath. "It's ok Caleb, let him out," I said and he gave a step back and lowered his head.I held quiet and still, then I saw as he slightly flinched and his body's posture changed. He now stood up straight and his eyes were defiant, as he looked around and finally howled out. I covered my ears, the sound was loud enough to leave me deaf. He then focused

    *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
