** Daphne POV ***A few days had past since I had been banished to the Palace. Though Emmett had insisted on a tight leash he had granted me one freedom I was allowed in the forest next to the Palace in a mile radius with out Tom and Jerry. Sarah had introduced me to some of the local kids and I had made plans to meet them in local nightclub tomorrow night. I had decided if I was forbidden from seeing Max then he wasn't my fated mate surely destiny wasn't that cruel plus until i turned eighteen there was nothing i could do. I had found myself a new distraction in the form of a blonde haired burly muscular local boy who had shown me some serious attention when I was with Sarah. As if on que my phone pinged.Jacob: Cant wait to see you at the club sexy.Daphne: Me too. Hope you can dance.Jacob: You bet I can Princess ?"who you texting with a blush like that?" my brothers voice made me jump."Don't you knock?" I snapped as he hoovered at my bedroom door."Daphne can you not just behave
**Sasha Pov***I hissed into my phone from the closet in our house to ensure Danny's super wolfie hearing couldn't hear me."Max you Little shit, its three am. Danny is flipping out. Answer your damn phone." I left my 20th voice mail before hurrying back down stairs. Danny was in the foyer toeing his shoes and pulling off his t shirt"Where are you going?" I exclaimed trying not to be distracted by his delicious abs."To find my stupid brother." he snapped"In wolf form? Danny hes a teenager he lost track of time. I'm sure he's nearby. He can't even change yet he's seventeen." I cried grabbing his wrist as he went to the porch."Max is different." he bit sighing"Max and I are different. Didn't you ever wonder why I was charged at thirteen to watch over Charlie Tudor?" he asked. "Why they would give that job to a kid?" "No, I mean so much else was happening i didn't think of the whys." I stuttered."When the witch called us soldiers she wasn't wrong. We gain our wolves at thirteen. W
* Madame Lux***I knew i was dreaming but I also knew it was a vision dream as I watched the Werewolf kings sister's mate mark on the young warriors neck. The figure in front of me sparkled in the full moon. Selena the Moon goddess stood before me in all her beauty."So the star crossed lovers and players in this looming war are falling into place." I muttered"It appears so. There are a few more connections to be made. I assume the covens approve." Selena asked."We do not appear to have a choice." I sighed."Madame Lux I need your witches to help Sasha find Daghda's cauldron." Selena said."Daghda's Cauldron? That means one thing." I gasped."Yes unfortunately.""That bitch Carmen is back?" I filled in."Yes.""Why?" I raised an eyebrow"She continues to want to allow the demons walk the earth and rule over them" Selena sighed."Hell no " I groaned."we knew this day would come." Selena began."She got some of Charlie's blood when she held her captive, which i think she will use to
***Sasha Pov***Things had finally settled into a routine and using the ghost roads I spent most days at the Palace preparing for the coronation whilst Danny trained the warriors and searched for more members of the Fianna so far he had found eight.Charlie paced with her son on her shoulder as his shrill cry filled the sitting room. Her daughter slept soundly as the future Alpha baby Eoin sobbed hysterically in his mother’s arms.“For the love of all that is divine Charlie made him stop.” I pleaded as I took in my friends distressed appearance.“I’m trying.” She gritted out.“What is wrong with him?” I asked“I don’t know I’m new to this remember.” She glared at me. “He’s not hungry, he’s not wet or dirty and he’s had a nap so I don’t know. Maybe I’m just a bad mother.” She added sadly. I instantly regretted my demeanour towards my best friend.“you’re not a bad mother.” I reassured her. “maybe he’s just an asshole.” I suggested brightly.“Did you really just call my baby an asshole?
***Charlie POV **My Father did not return to the apartment that night so Emmett and I spent the evening going over the plans for the arriving Alpha's, Lunas and otherworld royalty that would descend on the Palace the following day. We worked in comfortable fashion together with Emmett holding me firm to his side or on his lap keeping our wolves happy at the close proximity of our mates.I opened my eyes as the first rays of light came through the partially pulled blinds. I was laying on Emmett's chest so I happily inhaled his delicious scent. I ran my finger absentmindedly in soft circles on his lower abdomen before Emmett's hand shot out in quick movement to stop my wandering fingers."Little mate I suggest you stop that or I will lock you in here for the day arriving dignitaries or not." His voice was a deep growl and I looked up through my eyelashes to see Titan's dark eyes staring down on me possessively."Mates here" Soairse's roared in my head purring like an excited dog in hea
**Abigal POV**This was the last thing I needed right now to have been loving my life and job in this realm and now to be facing my father and mother once again. I sighed as they appeared through the meadow portal ahead of the new King and Queen of werewolves coronation. Most the Luna's and Alpha's were currently at the organised gatherings but I felt I needed a moment to face my parents alone. I had not disclosed to the new Royal family or anyone in the werewolf council that I was in fact HRH Princess Abigal Winx of the fairies."Abby." My younger brother smirked as he ran to me I held him close."Its been too long sister." Quentin breathed.Whilst people assumed fairies would be calm and less archaic then most cultures we were in fact very backward. My brother was the royal heir simply due to the fact he was a male. I was the third born daughter behind my sisters Princess Charlotte and Princess Sabrina. I saw how my sisters were bartered off into political marriages to strengthen my
**Carmen POV **Through the eyes of a Palace gaurd I had taken control of I watched the ceremony with disdain. When the green wolf appeared I spotted the cresent moon marking on her making her the Moon Goddess flesh and blood on earth. The gods hadn't played fair and I had never foreseen them working this closely together. I had heard the commotion that confirmed The Kings damned brother was now mated to the Vampire Kings daughter which ment they were all linking together allowing powerful blood line matches of different species. I could feel bile creep up my throat as they all pledged their alliance to the new King and Queen. This would be a long fight but being immortal I could wait I would still crush them all one by one and in the end they could mix and mate all they wished I would be the Queen of them all.I zoned into the small perky blonde witch who ruined my plans and knew Sasha Sanderson was my first target, I needed them to be witch less so the covens and Sasha needed to go
(7 Months Later.)**Charlie POV**Emmett and I had settled into life as the King and Queen the first few months had been a learning curve for us all. I sat in my office listening to Luna Catherine and the council elder drone on as i pretended to take notes. Sasha openly napped on my sofa her hand on her perfectly rounded belly. Emmett’s mother and the council had given up attempting to teach Sasha anything and merely excepted her presence at the lessons as penance for her crimes. Me on the other hand I was not so lucky.I smirked thinking back to the night that had earned me my current twice weekly "Queen lessons." It was also the night that had cemented my firm friendship with Queen Poopy. Her husband had been amused and no one was forcing her to take Queen lessons. Vampires generally and traditionally had a bad boy rep in the supernatural world but Poppy had been seen as some blonde haired angel but then she met Sasha.(Flashback)"Oh come on I am so bored I could die please." Sasha
Charlie PovIt had been a few months since Carmen had departed this world. We had all returned to our homes, Emmett had stayed behind to help Alpha Carlos in his pack based in Rome sentence and deal with what was left of Carmen's rogue army. We had kept our promise and created a royal council with a seat from every section of mystical and magical species represented. We had held the first one this morning and it had gone well despite the Vampire King Nicklaus slight annoyance that Emmett had asked for and won the vote to allow the Rebal Vampire King a vote on the council. It was unlikely he would attend the meetings or even take up his vote but I agreed with my mate, giving him a vote was a sign of respect. Queen Poppy had also agreed it was the right thing and argued with her husband it was just one vote and he had a right to a vote. Once Poppy threw her support behind me and Emmett the other council members agreed and King Nicklaus had reluctantly given in. It was the start of a new
Emmett POVThe fog dispersed and I let out a huge sigh of relief when I saw my mate walk towards Carmen and hold her as Daphne raced towards us. The Syphon Twins moved first gathering vials of the potion. As Madame Lux walked towards the fallen old witch. I made my own move and soon I was next to my mate, Jagger howling contentedly in my head as we discreetly checked her for injury. "Here." Jessica said holding out the potion to Charlie. Charlie however shook her head and dropped Carmen back onto the grass. "My blood may seal her away to the earth but someone else can finish her. I'm done with her i have worried and thought about this woman far too much" Charlie replied a cold tone to her voice. It didn't seem like Charlie was scared or upset even about binding the old witch forever there was something else that I couldn't place in my mates emotions. It was like an indifference that was now just rolling off her. She seemed numb in this moment. Taking the potion from Jessica she turn
Charlie Pov. Carmen's spell moved towards me and I dug deep trying to push my own spell back towards her. everyone relied on me and I had to win. I was born for this moment and I was failing. It was then I saw the change in the air as the small slitter appeared next to me and Sasha stepped out. "Hello Charlie." she said. I looked slightly frantic to see if Daphne was seeing this too but we were in a dense fog now and all I could see was the glow of the magic illuminating Carmen and Sasha she looked like herself but different. I knew instantly she was a merage or just a ghost of her former self and my heart lurched slightly. "Nothing can bring back the dead Charlie but it is me or at least my essence." she added seemingly knowing what was in my head. "let go your guilt over my death." She whispered. "tap into every corner of my power and the combined power of everyone who agreed to lend you their strength." she advised me. "They had no choice." I gritted out under the strain of Car
Emmett POVI watched in horror as my mate and sister were now face to face with Carnen and I was helpless. "Charlie." I yelled but she didn't acknowledge me. "I can't link our mate." Titan growled in my head. I made for the circle but King Nicklaus tackled me. "Let me go." I snarled. "The forcefield could kill you now it's not broken anymore. Charlie slipped by with Daphne I don't think you can pass." he reasoned before I could argue. We were hit by a new wave of rogues. "Shit." Danny yelled "they just keep coming." he growled. "I have help." Viola called as more Vampire's joined the fight. "Who are these Vampire's" King Nicklaus growled. "The rebel Kings men." Tristan responded. "But why?" Nicklaus began. "Because Carmen and her witches hurt my daughter." a voice answered. "And its that simple?" Nicklaus looked sceptical. "For me it is." the king responded as Nicklaus nodded and returned to the fight on hand. "Danny, Gideon and I will hold the line around Daphne and Cha
Charlie POV Viola's odd words washed over me. "Did she just say Dad." Soairse asked me in my head as I nodded slightly. "Hello Viola." he replied as around us other Vampire's now fought to keep us inside a safe ring and the Rebal King safe. "I heard you were fighting here with the wolves and Nicklaus Vampire's." he growled. Tristan moved to Viola's side protectively at the sound of the growl. "Back off punny Vampire. The only thing in this world I wouldn't hurt and would lay my life down for is my Princess Viola." he snarled. "Then it appears we share that." Tristan responded as he wrapped a protective arm around her waist. He raised his eyebrow in a suspicious glance. "Where is Sebastian?" he asked as a strange look crossed his face one I could not quite read. "Dead." Tristan snapped as the Vampire Rebel Kings eyes swung to Tristan. "At your hand?" Viola moved slightly between the two glaring males and hung her head. "No father I killed Sebastian he sold me to the witches
Charlie POVHaving eaten and made a crude plan for how this would all go to try get the best tactical advantage.We now had most people gathered on the weird little witches island. It was the perfect scene for a supernatural showdown as it was still bound and hidden by magic meaning it was obscured from human eyes. Adam and Max had returned with the Syphon Twins Jessica and Elizabeth. Having discussed a brief plan with us we finally agreed the best thing to do was bind us all together in the blood spell that would banish Carmen for good. By using all the high ranking shifters and mystical creatures it would be impossible for us to ever be weak again. The witches and the fairies agreed to allow the twins Syphon off a little of their magic too to strenght the spells core and then there was Daphne who held the strange magic from the ancient grimore who would also be happy to lend this new found magic to the twins. This was how we found ourselves all staring at the twins , Madame Lux, Da
Daphne Pov I heard Max leave and I drifted back into a restless sleep. I had no idea why I thought I had come to some place where I could live with the grief and misery but over the last few days a darkness had crept over me. I could hear voices in the distance. "What's wrong with her?" my brother Emmett's voice came through the thin walls of my tent and into the brain fog I was under. "I don't know." my father responded. "I think we should just give her space." Charlie's voice joined the conversation. A small smile played on my lips Charlie was a true Luna and her instincts were strong. "I'll talk to her." she added gently and I knew she was shooing the men away. I heard Charlie unzip my tent slightly before calling me. "Daphne?" She called gently. I didn't move but I knew her wolf sensed I was awake as she crawled into the tent and sat next to me. She silently placed her hand on mine and I felt her Luna touch ease my tense body slightly. "Daphne?" She asked again softly. "What
Max PoV I was delighted to get off site and away from everyone and whilst I was apprehensive about leaving Daphne it was a welcome break from her overwhelming misery that flooded our bond. She barely looked up from the sleeping bag she lay on when I told her I was leaving. I was tempted to tell her to pull herself together but I bit my tongue I didn't mean it I was just wondering would tough love draw out the spunky Daphne I knew. I sighed aloud and Adam who was driving turned to look at me. "Hey kid I know we aren't the closest of friends but we are pack and I am here for you." Adam said catching me slightly off gaurd my confusion must have been etched on my face. "I don't talk about feelings much but that doesn't mean I don't spot them." Adam smirked as I nodded. "Why don't you just talk. I'm all ears but I won't be telling anyone. I'm the best person no one will suspect I know a thing." he reasoned and I opened my mouth to respond when the story of Daphne's choice and our lost b
Emmett PoV We all found Prince Quentin and his fairy companions in the basement room observing the circle quietly when I entered with Charlie he looked up at us. "It's a strong fairy ring." he sighed and my face fell. "The fairies that created this are of as ancient a blood line as my own. Makes sense why Carmen targeted them." he added. "This blood line is going to be tough to over power." one of the other fairies agreed as they stared at the stone circle again with out stretched hands. They appeared to be feeling and pushing against a force we could not see. "And they all perished by Carmen's hand?" Quentin asked me without looking from the ring. "all but one." Emmett replied. "Of course otherwise the ring would break. Carmen has the fairy I assume?" Quentin asked again in a cold direct manner. "No we have her here." I responded. "Then why waste our time Werewolf kill the fairy and the magic dies simple." the older fairy companion snapped as he turned his glare at me and Cha
