VioletThere’s ringing in my ears. It’s hard to hear anything outside of the high pitched squealing.My wolf, Selene, is spent after all the work we have done. The fact that it was possible for Emery to have done this much damage to the brain is… terrifying. The fact someone could get to this amount of power it’s a grim reminder that no one is ever truly safe.I look at Hendrix across the room, but right now, all I can see is Henry. I blink furiously feeling like this is some trick on my eyes. But when I do this, I now see Henry sitting beside Hendrix.He looks like he’s distressed. He’s sitting with his knees pulled up towards him and has his fingers in his hair. He glances up and sees me. We make eye contact and then I hear his voice, “You can see me.”I look around us, I can see the others, but they look kind of blurry. I say in a wondrous tone, “We’re in the spirit world.”He nods his head, “I believe so. Kind of in the middle of it, like we’re in some kind of purgatory. We haven’
HendrixIt’s like I’ve been suspended into nothingness.I can’t hear anything or see anything. I don’t know if my wolf is still with me. I don’t know if I’m breathing. Everything was really painful and then it went black.Can I get out of this?Do I want to?These are the questions that must be answered, but I have no way of knowing how to figure them out.HenryI admire Violet and her determination. I always have, but as I still cannot feel Hendrix’s presence, I have no hope that he will be apart of this body if it is revived.It’s an odd feeling, I am kind of happy because that means I would have a true second chance at being with Magnolia. But… I don’t want to lose him. I’ve been apart of him for the past five years and it feels wrong knowing that he wouldn’t be in the same body with me anymore.The process of Violet trying to fix us is… uncomfortable. I wouldn’t call it painful, but it’s definitely not relaxing. I don’t know how to help her so I just try to stay out of the way as
One month later.MagnoliaThe transitions for everything has gone surprisingly well. Some people from the Solstice Pack moved to the Moon Stone Pack with us. Isadora and Phillip helped with those moving out here and they just got home about two weeks ago. It was harder to travel such a long way with so many people following them and they ended up going to real towns with hotels. They still chose to travel by wolf instead of car because most of the people from the Solstice Pack have never had to drive so it would’ve been too difficult to figure out accommodations.The people who chose not to come left to be with their families in different packs and overall, everything that we have heard has been positive. The pack members felt happy and free now that they weren’t stuck from the magic of the Solstice Pack grounds.Phillip and Isadora seem happy. They’ve marked each other and are practically glued to the hip. I’m happy for them, I have no feelings of jealousy or anything of the sort. I
VioletI don’t understand why this keeps happening.I sit in the bathtub as silent tears pour down my face and I drain out the water that is mixed with my blood again.This is the third miscarriage I’ve had.I don’t know why. We don’t try for kids, but we’re not not trying and I just… I don’t understand why we haven’t had any yet.Phoenix lightly taps on my door and calls my name, “Violet.”I let out a shuddery breath before I tell him, “Come in.”He walks in and sees the blood and immediately knows what happened. He walks over to me and wraps me up in his arms. I lean into him as I cry, “What’s wrong with me, Nix?”He rubs his hand up and down my arm and says, “Nothing is wrong with you, my love.”“Why can’t I carry a baby?”He kisses my head and says, “I don’t know, Vi.”We fall into silence. How many more losses do we have to go through? How much more can my heart bear?I climb out of the bath and get dressed, making sure to put on a maxi pad in case I have anymore blood loss. I pu
Violet We went and took in the baby two days later. They hadn’t even named her, each person always called her something different. I shake my head in distaste as I hold her in my arms as I settle into the seat of the private plane one of our alliances let us use. I ask Phoenix, “What do you think of Quirina?” His eyebrows furrow and he asks, “What does it mean? I know you’re all about the meanings, Vi.” The corner of my mouth twitches up and I say, “It means warrior. Which is what she’s had to be until she found her way to us. We could nickname her Rina or Q. I think it’s cute.” I look down at the little girl and I ask, “What do you think little one, is Quirina the perfect name for you?” She touches my face with her small little hand and gives me a smile. I can’t help but smile back at her and I look to Phoenix with a pointed look and say, “I think that’s a yes.” He chuckles as he kisses my head and then caresses our daughter’s face and says, “Anything to make the two of you hap
Four years later.The Moon Stone Pack is more hectic than it was before. Although Phoenix, Violet, Magnolia, Henry, Charlie, Harper, Phillip, and Isadora all fell into a season of peace where there were no more worries concerning the safety of the pack or one another, they also fell into a season of chaos with all of their children and being thrusted into the joys of parenthood. What makes parenthood even more chaotic is the fact that each one of their kids are guaranteed to be special in some way or another.Charlie and Harper ended up having a baby girl who they named Annabelle. So far, she seems to be the sweetest and most easy going child of the group. They are now pregnant with their second child, but they don’t know the gender yet.Phillip and Isadora also had a little girl who they named Hazel. She’s been rambunctious as she always wants to chase after her older brother and keeps her parents on their toes. Since having Hazel and also co-parenting with Franklin, they’ve decided n
Quirina All my life, my dad has always been big into thinking about your legacy. He thinks that you should focus on the mark you want to have on this world. The big question is how do you want to be remembered? It’s easy for him to say these things though when he and my mom have been able to achieve so much! Plus, they aren’t as… unfortunate as I am. I have so many abilities it makes me an oddball. Most people would view their abilities as a blessing. Like my mom being the white wolf she has the ability to heal others, or my aunt being the guardian wolf and is ultra strong and powerful in order to keep everyone safe! They aren’t like me. Or rather… I’m not like them. My powers… they don’t help people, all they do is harm others. I have to keep my emotions in check at all times to make sure that I never do anything by accident. My 18th birthday is coming up fast and I am hoping that somehow having a wolf will help me learn how to be better, but I’m scared that it will cause me to
QuirinaI wipe my sweaty hands along my dress. I take a deep breath trying to remind myself to keep my emotions in check. Everything is okay, I can handle this. There’s a knock on my door and I practically jump in surprise. I breathe out before calling out, “Come in!”The door opens and shuts and I turn to see Franklin in my room. He asks, “How you doing, Rina?”I breathe out, “I’m fine.”“It’s okay to be nervous, it’s a long weekend.”I nod in agreement. I’m about to be 18. My parents don’t know exactly when my birthday is but they planned a party to celebrate. Because my parents are so well known within the community, lots of visitors are coming to celebrate with us… for them.It’s no secret that I’m not normal. I think people want to know whether or not my parents plan to give me the Alpha title. They have Felicity now and she’s biologically their child, it makes complete sense if they want to wait 13 more years before relinquishing their position.My dad has told me not to worry
