*Meadow*

I looked at our entwined fingers and smiled; then I looked at him and saw him staring through the window with his mind on several things. We were driving to my office to have a meeting with Carter at first hour.

Ever since we walked out of the airport he was going through many things all at once. I peeked into his mind and left quickly when I got dizzy in the vortex of his thoughts; a meeting with Alpha Demark, who I still haven't met, a visit to the Smithson Pack to catch up on the status of their recovery from the horrible attack of Cornelius and Agape.

On that note; Caleb was worried that he sent his best trackers, who were truly remarkable, yet they came back empty-handed. Cornelius and his pack had vanished. He even tried to track them with satellites with no results. He had rejected that idea at first because in a forest area there would not be many chances to detect them, yet he still tried it as a last resource and it also failed.

I closed my eyes and tried to rela

    *Meadow*"So who are these guys?" Carter asked finally, nodding at them both."This is Julius, our lawyer, and Kade, our accountant. We brought you a first draft for you to look at. Where is your lawyer?" Caleb asked, pulling me closer to him with a gentle tug of my hand."Tom should arrive any moment, please let's get into the meeting room," He encouraged us and I led the way.Caleb sat on the edge of the table at the left, and pulled me to sit next to him. He strategically left the end for Carter who grinned at the sign of respect. There was no doubt that Caleb knew how to deal with people like him.After a minute, Sarah came in with small coffee cups for all, she has been with him ever since Carter started the business, and she was a wonderful soul who radiated kindness and pride into everything she did, no matter how small. When she passed me my cup, I smiled at her and thanked her, she blushed and remained quiet. A few minutes later, Tom walked in, looking disheveled and apol

    *Meadow*"I know what is good when I see it, and I haven't been able to pull away from this one ever since I laid eyes on her," Caleb said while he caressed my hand gently, making me blush. He would always find a way to surprise me with his words."Meadow, what are you planning to do? You have the new implementation plans working better than before, from what I could see on the draft you emailed me. But your role in the company can't stay the same. I need to promote you to head of department now," He said and I was flattered by his trust. I had no way to doubt his intentions, he had shown his trust in me before I was associated with Caleb, and I knew his words were true."I am flattered Mister Carter, but I am not sure I can take the job," I said a little hesitant at first. He frowned and looked at Caleb who lifted both hands as if in surrender. "He has something to do with my decision, but not all of it. I would like to offer you maybe my services as a consultant, if you would agre

    *Meadow*I felt my cheeks hot and red as he slowly slid his hands on my body, my breath cut with anticipation. "Caleb... we can't be loud in here..." I warned him, and just as I said those words I realized I was never going to put a stop to his intentions. It was as if his cravings became my own ones, though I was the only one who thought about possible outside consequences."I am not sure I can control myself around you," He whispered to me as he pushed me against the desk; his hands locked briefly on my waist as his eyes burned me. "Tell me to stop...if you must…" He said in a low raspy voice and I gasped, lifting a hand to pull him to me, crashing our lips together.He took something from his pocket; a small remote control of some sort, then I heard a click and the lights went off. I perked a brow at him, chuckling at the same time as I was confused, but he kissed me and I forgot what I was thinking.His thumbs slid under my silky blouse and slowly lifted it exposing my goosebum

    *Meadow*He chuckled as I pointed Craig where to turn. I was happy that Alex stayed home that time and Craig came instead, although Caleb had been more than careful when I was around him, I didn't feel anything towards him since Caleb and I mated fully.To me it was a big relief, I didn't want to feel insecure near him, especially since he was Caleb's third in command."Ok, now turn left on the next corner and slow down, the store is in the middle of the block," I smiled. As soon as we turned the last corner, I noticed something wasn't right. The store was closed and she never closed on a Saturday morning."Perhaps she is on vacations?" Craig said scratching his head and I frowned, stepping out of the car to look inside the store through the windows."The flowers are withering, the store has been closed for days," I looked at Caleb with worry eyes.He pulled his phone out. "What is her name?"Half an hour later we arrived at Saint Mary's Hospital and I rushed to the information

    *Meadow*"I knew you would only get attached to someone that kind of special, your mother and I always felt you and my daughter would be the exception to today's crazy youth," She half giggled and then coughed a bit more. I sat in the chair next to her without releasing her hand. "How did you find us?" She continued."It is Saturday, and I headed to the store and it was closed. I peeked through the window and noticed the flowers weren't being taken care of, I knew something had happened. Your name and a few calls was all it took," I said, rubbing her hand slowly."Oh god...! Is it Saturday already? My poor flowers...!" She said just as a scared Bella rushed back in."Mom? What is wrong?" She ran to her bedside almost spilling the water from the glass."My poor flowers... you can't stay here forever Bella, you need to go take care of the store, if I am gone, you will need something to..." she started coughing again and Bella started to shake her head."Don't say that mom!

    *Meadow*Craig relaxed the rest of the way to the cemetery, I think that while I was in Christa's room, he and Caleb had some sort of a talk and it did him good. Once we arrived, Caleb walked with me near my mother's grave then stopped. I looked at him quizzically but he smiled at me. "I think you should see her alone first. Then, when you are ready, I will join you." He said calmly and I almost cried; there was no possible way for me to feel anything but pure love and admiration to him, he was my partner, my friend, my lover and my mate, always thinking of me before himself."Thank you..." I said almost in tears and he pulled me in his arms."Shh... its ok, you don't need to show me you are strong, I know you are... strong women can also get emotional," I shook my head feeling my tears damp his shirt."Stop please, you are making it harder than already is to break apart from you even for the briefest of minutes," He chuckled and kept quiet, and I finally stepped away and walked to

    *Meadow*I was proud, I smiled and just slid my hands on her soft fur while we looked at mom's picture in silence for a while until I felt another presence near us, she lifted her head and it snapped to our left. There we saw Caleb's wolf looking at us, his eyes locked on her. How was this possible? This was all in my head. A mental image.As if she read my thoughts, because she did, as she was part of me, she answered my own questions. 'His mind and yours are linked… He can see me as well, and you can see him.'I smiled at him and nudged her. 'Do you think you are ready for him?' I asked her and she gave me one look that showed me how much ready she was. I didn't know what to expect or how to react to be honest, this was all so new to me, but she took care of it; she closed her eyes and I did the same.What happened next was completely soothing, not what I would have ever dreamed. We merged in one, I was her and she was me; I felt my furred body and my thrill for my mate, our mind

    *Caleb*It was very entertaining; Meadow was introducing us to Bella and Crista, and Craig was looking constricted. I was proud of my 3rd, even though he had such an unnatural power of attraction towards women, he never used it against any, and he had many chances. Now, when he did found the one, he was too nervous to use it."So Bella, will you let Craig escort you home? He will make sure you don't miss anything, and remember to bring your mom's stuff, you know, her flip flops and nightgown," Meadow was being persuasive, especially since Bella was nervous around him and felt the pull already. Poor girl, so young and naive."Uhm, yes, ok... he will be there with me until I come back?" Bella asked."I will stay with you until you feel ready, don't worry. You can take all the time in the world," Craig replied with a smile and Bella nodded blushing. I did my best to hold my laugh, while Meadow rolled her eyes at me.After they left, I walked into the room with Meadow, and Crista was

    *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
