Arriving on the castle grounds, Vivian loops her arm through Troy’s and takes in everything around us. There are lanterns lit every metre, and musicians play a symphony at the top of the stairs.

‘Split up and mind-link each other if we see her,’ I say.

After familiarising ourselves with our surroundings, I still hadn't seen Maia yet. I kept making my way through the crowd of people and looked around for her.

Any signs of her yet, Troy? I mind-link.

Sorry Alpha, not yet. Troy replies.

The ball is only just beginning, so she may not be here yet. Plus, I haven't seen King Fenris yet either. I link back.

Walking across the room, I lean my back against a pillar. Many women are giving me seductive looks and slowly approaching me. I roll my eyes and sigh. The women are giggling and fanning their faces. They attempt to hook their arms in mine.

‘Well, hello, handsome.’ One woman says. She stares into my eyes with a flirtatious look in her eyes.

I clear my throat, ‘I’m not interested, lady,’ I

    MaiaI talk my way through the hall, trying to find Vivian at the same. Then, discreetly I leave the hall when King Fenris is busy in heavy conversation with others speaking about the war.I walk towards the staircase at the castle entrance when I hear Vivian’s voice call my name.‘Maia,’‘Vivian?’ I say in return with excitement.We hug each other, not wanting to let go.‘We need to go somewhere where we won't be seen,’ she says.She takes my hand and leads me toward the lake.‘Maia, I need to tell you something,’‘You've met Damon?’ I ask her.‘Yes, I have. I also know his Beta Troy,’ she says, blushing.‘Vivian?’‘Maia...the werewolves, they are not the enemy. King Fenris is the enemy. Damon, Troy and Zayden, I have met them all. Would you believe I had all three werewolves over for dinner at my house? Werewolves of all people!’ she giggles in disbelief.‘Oh, and I’m Troy’s mate. He is such a gentleman too. Werewolves are fa

    MaiaIt’s bright and early. Jewel and Leah bathe and dress me for the day. I tell Jewel and Leah I would like to explore West Wallow, visit some villages, and ask if they can inform King Fenris of my plans.Releasing my hair from the bun, Leah insists I at least put some flower pins in, but I kindly refuse.Jewel and Leah exit the room to help prepare breakfast and let King Fenris know of my wishes while I stand in the fresh morning air on the balcony taking in the view of the lake.Skipping out of the room and down the stairs to the dining room, I wait for King Fenris. He enters the dining room a few moments later and sits opposite me.‘Good morning, King Fenris,’ I say with a big smile. ‘Well, my love, you are extra chirpy today. I was just informed you have plans to explore our kingdom?’ He asks.‘Yes, I want to learn more about this kingdom, see the villages, and meet the people,’ I smile.‘I see... well, I already have plans for you

    I walk away towards what used to be a vegetable garden and kneel. Then, digging holes with my hands, I plant the seeds a few meters apart, place my hands on the ground, and concentrate.Everyone is silent, watching on in curiosity until the ground beneath them starts to shake and rumble.Everyone is panicking except the little girl standing next to me, watching the apple seeds sprout and grow into large apple trees. Hundreds of apples form on all the branches. I stand up to admire the trees and turn to see thousands of people staring at me, amazed. They shout their gratitude towards me and pluck the fruit from the tree devouring the fruit while other villagers approach me with different seeds. I continue planting and growing the seeds into ripe fruit and vegetables until I feel faint. I realise I need rest to regain my power back.King Fenris approaches me.‘My love? What is the meaning of all this?’ He asks.I speak as loud as I can for them to all hear what I say.‘King Fenris, the

    MaiaMy body trembles. I can't lose Damon. I can’t let King Fenris kill him! Flame begins to erupt from the ground beneath my feet, and everyone steps back in fear. The ground shakes vigorously as the harsh wind blows dust, debris and leaves around. The sound of thunder roars in the sky, and lightning whips through the clouds. My breathing becomes heavy, and the elements become stronger and more ferocious with each passing moment.I’m now engulfed in a ball of flame, wind, water and debris, and it’s only growing bigger.I try to calm my emotions to tame my powers, but I have lost all control of the elements.
