PhoenixFor a moment, it’s like my ears are ringing. I don’t know why, but the thought of going up against the Solstice Pack causes me to have a chill go down my spine. I glance over at Violet, trying to read her face and the feeling she has through our bond.She seems as nervous as I do.She tells Magnolia, “Mags, I understand wanting to get Hendrix back, and we support you 100% with that. But… this sound a little extreme.”Magnolia shakes her head no, “We can’t stop at just getting Hendrix back. There’s more going on there, stuff that we need to uncover.”Charlie breathes out and asks, “Like what? Magnolia, you know we love you and support you, but… with how fearful Harper is of that place, I don’t think it’s the best idea for us to try and take over t
MagnoliaCharlie brought me back to my room so I could rest and I end up sleeping until the next day. I don’t know if I felt so drained from the journey I’ve taken or from the pregnancy, but I don’t care. Being in my warm bed felt so freaking good.When I wake up, I think back on the conversation I had with Phoenix and Violet. I understand that Phoenix is right and they can’t just have all the high ranked members leave the pack, but I can’t help but feel sad over the fact that he and Violet aren’t joining me. Especially because Violet is the white wolf and we… we go together like puzzle pieces. We’re stronger together and I’m scared about going on this kind of a mission without her by my side.There’s a soft knock on my door and I murmur mindlessly as I’m still deep in thought, “Come in.”Violet walks in with a small tray. She set it down on the side table beside me and says, “I talked to our moms about their pregnancies. Your mom said the morning sickness was worse if she wasn’t eatin
CharlieShe wrecked one of the karts.I thought that getting Harper out and away from the stresses of pack life and the impending battle coming up would be good for her… for us. I guess I should’ve put more thought into the date. It never once occurred to me that she wouldn’t have any idea how to drive a car.Harper is sitting to the side with her cheeks burning red as I talk to the owner, they have insurance to help cover these kinds of things but even he seems alarmed by how much damage she was able to do in such a short amount of time. I give him my information and tell him to give me a call if there are any issues and then I go back to Harper and ask, “So, are you hungry?”She runs her hands through her long red hair and says, “I crashed a kart.”I shrug, “That has nothing to do with food.”She frowns deeply causing there to be creasing along her forehead and she murmurs dramatically, “I don’t deserve food.”I bark out a laugh and take her hand leading her away from the establishm
VioletI don’t know how the fuck I just convinced that Supernatural Academy but I did. Maybe it’s because they’re tired of dealing with me, maybe it’s because I guaranteed safety that they didn’t have before, maybe it’s because I got some of the most influential supernaturals on the conference call all agreeing with me that a change needed to be made.But I did it.The Supernatural Academy will be sending a lot of support to help us with the Solstice Pack. In return, if we take the pack down then they get to set up their organization there and will work harder on turning it into a nonprofit.I sit in my office in absolute awe, not sure what to do or say now, but knowing that I need to see Phoenix. Do I mind link him to come in here? Do I run and search for him? I don’t know.My whole mind seems to be just running so fast it’s hard to keep up with the things going on. I push myself to my feet, ready to search for my mate and have a moment to celebrate with him.I take two steps and the
MagnoliaThe morning feels like it comes too soon. Now, Charlie, Harper, Phillip and I are on a flight up north. I didn’t ask too many questions about where the flight was going, Harper showed Phoenix areas on the map around where the pack should be and he tried to fly us as close as he could.I don’t know how Harper and Charlie plan on getting in now to help Hendrix, but it’s not my place. All I need to worry about is when the Solstice happens three days from now. Phillip sits beside me on the flight, he’s been good at monitoring when I eat or drink and helping me stay on top of it. Because of this, I actually haven’t been dealing with as much nausea as I normally do. It makes me even more grateful for him… and more fearful of the future.I don’t want to hurt Phillip, but I can’t let go of Hendrix. I honestly don’t know what I’m supposed to do in this situation. The one thing I both love and hate with Phillip is his ability to read me. It’s like her knows my thoughts because he tel
CharlieWe didn’t take things any further than marking one another.I wanted to, I think she did too, but… it’s better to move slow with Harper. I don’t want her to have any regrets or questions whenever it comes to us. She sat in my lap when she marked me, the piercing of her teeth into my skin was euphoric and I did it right back to her. She fell limp in my arms and it scared the crap out of me. I thought she had passed out. She laughed when I started to say her name and told me she was okay.Now she lies beside me and sleeps while I am wide awake staring out at the forest around us.I feel different after being marked. Like I’m more alert. I don’t know how else to explain it, but things aren’t the way they once were.I wish I could talk to Magnolia about it or maybe Violet since she’s actually been marked before. Is this the way your supposed to feel? I thought you were supposed to feel all like fulfilled and completed or some sappy thing like that?I tilt my head back as I let ou
MagnoliaWe’ve been here for two days, at midnight tonight the Solstice Pack should reveal itself.I’ve talked with Violet and Phoenix to see what the plan is but Violet just keeps telling me to trust her. I hate when she says that. “Just trust me” like that should be enough to soothe all my worries.Phillip and I travel by wolf to get to Harper and Charlie. It’s not too hard to find them. All of their stuff is now packed away and Harper is pacing nervously. Charlie sits against a tree watching her when he sees us coming. There’s a hint of a smile on his face as he says, “Hey Mags, Phillip.”We both nod at him and Harper breathes out, “Have you guys talked to Violet and Phoenix?”Phillip answers, “We talked to them before shifting to come here. They said to trust them.”Harper huffs, “How does that help anything?”I snort because she and I think the same way. Phillip remarks, “You seem nervous.”She scoffs, “Of course I am. Who knows what’s happening with Hendrix and Emery hates me.”
MagnoliaThe whole world feels like it slams to a halt for Isadora and Phillip. She tilts her head in confusion upon seeing him, but I can see the mix of emotions in her face, that longing that she’s feeling to be with him. She turns to face me and says, “You’ve been with him. Each of you are surrounded by the other’s scent.”I explain, “Phillip and I are from the same pack and have been traveling the past few days.”Her nose crinkles up and Phillip approaches her slowly, falling to his knees as he gets close enough and he says, “My name is Phillip Everest, I have searched for you since the day I turned 18. I made some mistakes… Magnolia isn’t one of them. She is carrying my child, but our relationship has ended. We haven’t even done anything since right after she met Hendrix. If you give me a chance, I swear, I’ll always be loyal to you…” His voice trails off, he wanted to call her by her name, but realizes that she doesn’t know it.Her shoulders relax slightly as she says, “Isadora
