FAYE

I gaped at the elders, not sure how to handle the situation now.

Granger and Deindre trooped past Yvonne and me to the living room, not bothering to wait for us to invite them in.

We all moved to my dining room wordlessly, the tension palpable, and settled down, all five of us.

It was painfully obvious that one of us was missing.

"Axel took the moonstone."

Yvonne nodded, her mouth pressed into a thin, hard line.

Granger's eyes blazed with fury. "So this was what he meant when he said he would show us."

All eyes turned to watch him.

"Show us what?" I asked him, not sure I really wanted to know the answer but needing to hear it still.

"He was furious that you wouldn't mate with him. He said if the council didn't dethrone you, we would have hell to pay."

My heart dropped so hard it fell to the floor of my stomach.

I felt a little light-headed and I had to swallow and try hard to focus and not give in to the darkness.

Yvonne had been right all along.

Axel wasn't just punishing me

    FAYE It has been ages since I've been at the Black Saint pack house. I can't go there by myself, and I don't have any way of getting to Nathan if I don't go to his company or to his home. Neither of those ideas appealed. The pack members would know something was up immediately if I were to go there. And doubt could easily be planted in the minds of many without them knowing the real reason we were meeting. If me being with Nathan had upset Axel so much, it wasn't hard to imagine how my pack would feel about it. I'd rather I didn't find out. The next best option was to set up a meeting with Nathan. Somewhere it would be just the two of us. No other eyes around to see us. I called Patrice. I had her contact info from the day I'd gone to see her and I knew she was the only one who would help me, no questions asked. I'd set up the meet for 10am tomorrow, at a small cafe downtown, but he'd refused that. Telling me instead to come to the glasshouse. Sometime in the early e

    NATHAN I went out to Zelda's cabin, hoping she'd have found something else now. Anything from the decay of Rhea's body before we'd buried her. Lannon had gone on a sort of recon with the twins while I'd been to work to check in and back. It had just been a day since we'd found Rhea, and I was wondering if I should have gone out on the town with Lannon to search for answers. Pack matters had to be kept private and within the werewolf community. For that reason, we couldn't involve the police or private investigators. We had our own in various places for these reasons though,and Lannon was currently meeting a police officer for reports on any recent deaths we might have not heard of similar to what had happened to Rhea. The man was a werewolf, whose sole purpose at that precinct was to conceal any information concerning our community. Hiding our affairs from the prying eyes of the world. I knocked once and pulled the door open, walking into her living room. I followed the

    NATHANMy pack was under some kind of attack by some fucked up witches and here I was, fucking ecstatic.The way I'd been when Patrice had called to say she wanted to see me.I'd been intrigued to say the least. For the ice queen to reach out to me, be the first to make contact, something had to be quite wrong. I watched her from my spot infront of the windows, holding the black out curtains in one hand a little bit to the side so I could watch her through the window.She wasn't getting out of her car.Was she going to turn around now and leave?I held my breath as I decided to wait her out. Another minute passed, before she opened the driver's side and stepped out of the car. My breath left me as I watched her sashay to the front door.I waited for her to ring the doorbell, before I drew the curtain closed and walked across the room to the door. She rang the doorbell again and I yanked the door open before the bell stopped ringing.My breath caught as I looked at her. She looke

    NATHANShe's given in to me in someway but she still remains stiff on the bed, occasionally throwing me glares when she thought I wasn't looking.I can tell that our deal is pissing her off. I can tell that the fact that she had to give in to me is making her mad and just a little bit on edge. With the way she's vibrating with her dislike of the situation, I'm grateful for this. Now she'll have to put up with me and tolerate my presence for as long as it took for us to find Axel and the moonstone.Which I hoped was a little long. I wanted Faye back, and this was just the right opportunity for me to make amends for the past.It looked like that amends would have to include heavy grovelin because she was fighting me, even when silent.She wanted me. I could hear her little breathy sighs and sense the sexual tension. She didn't plan on acting on it though, I could see.She was really convinced that is being together had brought about this chaos. It made sense that she didn't want to re

    FAYE The look on Nathan's face was not a good one. I knew from the look on Nathan's face that what he'd heard on the phone was bad. I only wondered if it was as bad as what Granger had just told me. "We need to go, Faye." "Go where?" I asked, looking at him like he was crazy. "To my pack. There are some things we need to go over." "I can't be seen at your pack house. In fact I shouldn't even be seen with you. That would just complicate everything."I pointed out, considering all the media focus on me right now, I couldn't afford to be seen with Nathan. It wouldn't just affect the company, with all the questions and flying suspicions about me and Nathan, it would also get the packs talking. He sighed and regarded me wearily, the look on his face told me something had made him worried enough to suggest that we head to his pack house. "What did you hear on the phone? What's made you like this?" He shook his head and then glanced over at me. "I found out where Axel's hiding o

    FAYE"Come on, take it." Nathan cajoled, trying to get Carolyn to take something he wanted her to have if he didn't come back.I felt sorta sick watching them. What if he really died?Could I handle it?"Why can't someone else go with you, Nathan? At least take Zelda.""Not more than two people enter the forest at a time, Carolyn. It won't allow it." Lannon answered."What do you mean it won't?" I asked for the first time. Did he mean the forest?I hadn't brought up him bringing anyone else because it wasn't my place to demand that. And this was my mess, so I wasn't dragging anyone from my pack into it."There's a reason why they call it the forest of lost souls. It draws people in and makes sure they can't leave. But it only takes two people.""How?" I asked him, looking at Nathan who just stood by and let Lannon do all the talking."Well its magical powers do not allow more than two people to use the portal leading into the forest on the same day. And I've heard that there's a stro

    NATHANI drew Lannon with me out of the study.We had things to talk about.We went upstairs to my room, and I shut the door, facing him. "Find anything else on the witch? Are there more of them in there with Axel?" I needed to know what to expect. Needed to be prepared. Any werewolves in there wouldn't have their powers, but a witch would.I could do my best handling one witch, but if they were as much as they were in the pictures, if some or all of the men were wizards, then I could never take them on."I think those are just the muscles. I don't even think they have magic, nor are they werewolves."Okay. "Then what about the woman?""Her name's Vera."It didn't sound familiar. I didn't know anyone who was related to the pack or the werewolf community with that name either.Definitely not from here."Any connections to Axel?""They've been dating for a while now."Stunned, I asked him again. "Dating?""Yes. It seems to be over a year they've been dating."I calculated and that ha

    FAYEI was rigid, skeptically taking in my surroundings.My eyes swept all I could see, trying to see if there was anything unusual. Their was nothing unusual about the forest. There wasn't even the skulls I'd expected to see lying around on the forest floor.That part was sort of something I had left for her.I watched my boots as I walked.There was nothing but fallen leaves on the ground and some were still freshly fallen.My ankle boots crushed some of them, making the only sounds I could hear. Everywhere was so quiet, I'd vomit all my phone. Nathan was super light on his feet. Werewolves always were. They walked like there was only air beneath their feet, making no noise.I looked beside me to steal a glance at Nathan like I'd been doing for the last twenty minutes. He wasn't beside me. I paused warily, and turned around to search for him. But nothing.I started to panic just a little. There was no way he had been attacked, cause I would have heard.Nothing could have hap

    Faye"Yvonne, this place is too much." I glanced around the fully decorated condo, my excitement simmering with the idea of this space being mine to do with as I please.The place is amazing. More than I could have hoped for, and I’ve only made it to the living room. There is a huge fireplace and a big soft gray sectional sofa that looks fluffy and comfortable. Big pillows line most of it and it looks so cozy. There is light everywhere, shining in from the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over Vegas."That place is perfect." she told me on the phone."The security is top notch.You can order food whenever you want and they have a gym and a spa downstairs. Everything you need with only a call.""It’s safe," she pushed. "You could come stay with me if you’d prefer. I’d love to have you at home, but I thought you might want your own place."I'd started my post graduate studies, this time nearer to home and I'd gotten a whole condo to stay in for the duration of my studies.

    TWO MONTHS LATERFAYEI sat in front of Yvonne as she explained the dynamics of our business relationship with some other company.I wasn't listening to her. I was mostly just nodding, so she could continue to speak. "Faye? Faye? Are you listening?"I sighed and nodded, not knowing how to tell her what bothers me. "Faye tell me. You know you haven't spoken a lot about what happened in that forest with the Black Saint. I can't believe you went in there without letting me know." She still spoke of it frequently with anger l, but she was beginning to forgive me. It wasn't everyday a person's niece went to the forest of lost souls and made it out alone. I sighed again and she scolded me angrily."That's the fifteenth sigh today, fifteenth, and it's not even mid morning yet. Why do you sound like you lost a loved one, my dear?""Maybe cause I did lose a loved one?"I told her, my face falling as I remembered said loved one again. "Is this about Nathan?"I looked at her and nodded. I c

    NATHANThe witch died how she had planned for me to die. A fitting end for someone who'd come with the sole aim of destroying me. Faye massaged her wrists where those damn fools must have tied her up before. I moved to her and held both her wrists in my hands, caressing them softly, so that the ache could go away.She wasn't responding to me. She just stood there, stiffly by my side. I looked into her face and I couldn't read anything.I missed the days when I would look at her face and see what she was thinking, what she was feeling. "Won't you go after him?" Faye asked, pointing in the direction Axel had run in. I shook my head. "Lannon will take care of him."Her mouth dropped open. "Lannon is here too?""Yes, Queeny. He entered the forest the night before we did.""I can't believe you have been lying to me this whole time. About everything!" She screamed in a hurt tone, stepping away from me. I rushed to her, brushing her still wet hair from her face and cupping her face in

    FAYE"Briggs was my sister and you killed her!" she yelled, her voice rising on each word until my ears felt scraped by her shrill tone.Nathan looked bored with the whole thing. He didn't look as bothered by the fact that we were in danger, surrounded by our enemies who had upper hand."So that's why you want to destroy my pack so bad. Well I can't say I'm sorry, Vera. Your sister messed with the wrong pack, just like you're doing now, and she got what she deserved, just like you will." He said, with finality behind his words. She growled and screamed unfamiliar words at him, her magic sending him flying into the concrete wall. I winced as he landed with his arm and felt myself go weak for a second.I was still finding it an ordeal watching Nathan get hurt. It was a lot. "I guess we're done here."Axel said and shifted back from Vera."You can take care of them sweetie, do whatever you please."Vera smirked and strolled around to me.I saw Nathan's body tighten and get ready for a

    FAYEMy heart broke at his words and I felt like a sham at his words. I'd believe I could be Luna because both Yvonne and Axel has stood by me and encouraged me. And now he said this?"Imagine my surprise when after years of devotion to the pack, Yvonne went in search of a daughter I had never heard about. A daughter that had never been around. I was passed over for you?" He said like he still couldn't believe it. "It's a fucking joke, my sweet." I felt sick at the stupid endearment.Tears formed in my eyes and I pressed them closed tightly.I knew Nathan's focus was on me, he would go ballistic of I cried. I wanted to hear all of it.No, I needed to hear everything."I didn't want Yvonne to go looking for you, prayed to the moon goddess that she didn't find you, but guess what? She did. Because this dumbass Buffon,"he said, pointing at Nathan, "threw you out. He couldn't even love you properly then and you still went back to him when you returned home. After all I'd done for you.

    FAYEI was sitting in a chair with my arms tied down to the arms of the chair when I came to.The black bag over my face was still there, but it wasn't tight around my face anymore.I tried to look through it but all I could see was little light, peeking at me through the bag.All of a sudden the bag was yanked off my head and I found myself looking at Axel. I felt elated that I'd found him, but I also felt angry about what he'd done. And why did he send people to kidnap me?"Axel," I started.He raised a hand, cutting me off. "it's not just you I need to talk to. I want to talk to your lover too. I wonder what could be holding him back. Does he not love you as much as you think he does, perhaps?"I snorted and his gaze flashed with annoyance."Or maybe he's content to abandon you here. Not even bother coming to get you."I glared at him and said nothing.Axel laughed. "Well, either way, we've got more than enough time together. But first, I think your friend is going to want to mee

    NATHANThere was a tinkle of laughter in the air when I woke up.The sound was pleasant to my ears and made me ache to find the owner of the laugh.My eyes slid open and rested on Faye. Something was making her happy this morning.I could relate too, cause I felt really happy too. Despite everything that had happened yesterday, it was great to see that we were okay.In fact, we were more than okay. We had finally talked about the part of me that I'd always locked away, never wanted to talk about with anyone, or show anybody.She giggled again, looking up at something I couldn't see and I had to ask her. "Heyy, Queeny." I said, wondering how she'd react this time to the nickname she was always irritated by. "Heyyy." She replied, not really paying me much attention. There was an excitement to her movements though, and a wide smile on her face. I could watch her smile all day, or just listen to her laugh and feel good when the day ended. "What are you doing?" I asked her.Not to

    FAYEI held his bandaged hands in my hands. He'd scared the hell out of me when he had run out on me like that. I couldn't believe what I had heard. He'd said Dad, and then he'd started calling out mother.I didn't know what he'd been seeing but it sure felt very intense from where I had witnessed it.There was no one else in the forest except for me and Faye, everything else was false. I told myself repeatedly, trying to quell the worry I had now. What if I was the problem that needed to be stopped?What if I saw things just as clearly as Nathan had?I shook my head and refused to fall for it. "We need to keep moving." Nathan said to me and I agreed.We had to leave that area. We had both taken a drink of the potion now, and nothing more could happen to us for a few more hours.It was getting dark now. I didn't know if this was an effect of the forest magic or something else but we had to rest. We stopped and collected wood for a fire together.We stacked the wood and then s

    NATHANI'd scared her badly.For her to have cracked and spilled those tears in front of me.She was so icy now, I doubted she ever cried infront of anyone.I had felt something change between us. She wasn't saying anything now, just walking stiffly beside me. I looked ahead, raising tree branches that hung low so that both of us could make our way through.We trudged on, the low bushes and weeds brushing against our thighs and lower legs.The roots that were off the ground were not easy to spot, and almost brought her down twice, with me reaching out to steady her and getting rebuffed each time.I could take that.For now. I would take it until she didn't want to throw me off anymore. Couldn't reject me.I walked around a tree and her eyes followed me sharperly, showing me she was watching me, even though she pretended not to be. I chuckled to myself, coming out onto the path we were walking.Something felt eerily quiet about the forest.It wasn't just that I already knew it was
