Violet
I swear Charlie and Magnolia want to just spend their night sobbing their eyes out. I never thought that a kid’s movie could make someone cry as much as it made the two of them cry.
After that movie then Magnolia picked some teen romance movie about stars or something. I don’t know, it’s hard to pay attention to what’s going on when my mind is so focused on what’s to come. After that movie then Charlie picked another one. Each movie seems to make them sob worse than the other.
It’s at least 3 in the morning now and I finally dismiss myself so that I can go to bed. Only the moment I go to my room I am filled with an urgent need to see Phoenix.
It’s not a want, it’s a need. It scares me how much this need
VioletI left Phoenix shortly after he rejected me. He’s right, we have an agreement. But it doesn’t stop the ache in my heart. It doesn’t stop my wolf, Selene, from crying in the back of my mind. Mourning the fact that the moon goddess destined us to be with someone so broken, someone that’s cursed, someone that will never accept us.I try to convince her that it’s for the best. But my words fall on deaf ears, she doesn’t want to hear me.I climb back into my room and my eyes widen when I see Magnolia sitting on my bed reading a book. Her jade green eyes meet mine, she raises one eyebrow as she looks at me and tilts her head to the side as she asks, “Where the hell have you been?”I take slow breathes, trying to calm my racing heart and I evade her question, “What are you doing in my room at this time?”Out of anyone that would uncover the fact I’ve been sneaking out regularly, I never guessed that it would be Magnolia. She shrugs her shoulders as she answers me, “Charlie fell asleep
VioletMy heart is still racing as I lie in bed beside Magnolia. I can’t believe that I got caught especially by her!I should’ve known that tonight would be different because of her meltdown and how late we stayed up. I’m grateful that she didn’t ask too many questions and that I’m able to keep Phoenix’s identity a secret.After a few minutes, I almost jump when she speaks. I thought she had fallen asleep. She says softly, “I don’t want to be the next Alpha anymore.”My eyebrows raise in surprise and I use my hand to prop my head up as I ask, “What are you talking about?”She breathes out and rolls on her back looking up to the ceiling as she says, “I’m about to turn 18. I’ll shift and shortly after I’m supposed to take the Alpha position. That’s been the plan for as long as I can remember, Vi. But… that’s supposed to happen in 8 days and I don’t know how I’m supposed to lead a pack when I can’t even walk through the main foyer of the house without having a panic attack.”She takes a
VioletI forgot that Magnolia stayed in my room last night.When I wake up she is pacing around my room and I look at her curiously. She seems less tense than she was last night which is a good thing. She doesn’t seem as sad, instead she seems nervous and I think that’s because she wants to talk to her parents soon. She’s told me that it’s good being around me and a small part of me wonders if somehow my abilities as the white wolf is helping heal Magnolia. Like maybe I’m subconsciously healing her broken heart. I don’t know if that’s even a possibility though.To be honest, there’s still a lot I don’t know about being the white wolf. I think that both the white wolf and guardian wolf are much stronger than we think. White wolves don’t normally live long lives because of other people’s greed wanting to harvest our power for their own wants and needs. Because of this, there hasn’t ever been enough time to learn anything other than the what’s on the surface.Magnolia looks over at me,
VioletThe days move quickly.Magnolia’s been doing better. She’s getting out of her room more, she’s training with me for a little bit every day, and she and Charlie are trying to finalize our plans for our trip. Charlie and I still haven’t decided what to tell her and also agreed that actually going somewhere and having a couple of days off isn’t a bad idea.Now that Magnolia knows about me meeting my mate, she helps cover for me at night. It’s nice, I’m now able to leave by midnight at the latest and I’m normally home by 3 so I’m still able to sleep for a little bit.I enjoy being around Phoenix, I enjoy it a lot more than I care to admit. Our personalities seem to just mesh well together and I’m quickly considering him one of my closest friends. We sit by each other in complete silence, just enjoying the sound of nature surrounding us. I can feel the tension in my body release as I lean back and tilt my face toward the sky, my eyes closed as I bask in the moon’s glow. I can feel
PhoenixWe shouldn’t do this. I know that we shouldn’t. But, she’s so close to me. Her scent is intoxicating, she yearns for me, and I yearn for her. Why can’t we let ourselves enjoy this one fleeting moment?With that thought, my mind is made up and I lean in to close the gap between us, desperate to feel her soft lips on mine. My eyes begin to close as I feel her breath against my lips, and I move to capture her lips. But they’re not there.My eyes snap open and I see she’s pulled her head back and she stares at me with wide unblinking eyes. Heat rushes to my cheeks out of embarrassment from this rejection. Was I imagining it? I could’ve sworn that she wanted to kiss me just as much as I wanted to kiss her.Her cheeks turn read and she brushes a lock of hair behind her ear, turning her face away from me and she says nervously, “I should go.”I nod my head, “Yeah, it’s getting late.”“Yeah,” she murmurs. Her eyes flicker around us and she says, “Just so you know, the next few days
VioletI slept until midday and when I woke I learned from Charlie about Magnolia’s breakdown. She’s currently in her room and won’t let anyone in to see her. He and I spend the day together and I go to training and that night I attempt to check on hr, but she told me to leave, just like she had done to every person who had tried to check on her.That night, I thought about going to see Phoenix. But, I decided against it. I knew I could use some sleep, plus, I’m not sure I could face him again after pulling away from his attempt at kissing me.I wanted him to do it. I don’t know why I pulled away other than the fact that I’m scared. I’ve never been kissed by anyone before and as much as I crave that experience with him… I know I’m destined for heartbreak. I don’t know if I want to make that memory with him.So, I slept. And it was the worst night of sleep I’ve had in awhile. Damn mate bond, making it hard to get any rest whenever I don’t see him. Because of this, I sleep in again beca
VioletI walk through my uncle’s office door without knocking. Immediately, he looks up at me with his eyebrows crinkled and a deep frown. I say, “I’m sorry to barge in like this but I need to speak with you and Aunt Amelia, now.”He slowly nods his head and I watch as his eyes glaze over as he links his mate. He tells me, “You’ve never given me a reason not to trust you, Violet. But this is very odd behavior.”I nod as I breathe out and say, “I know.”Aunt Amelia walks into the room with a concerned expression and she her eyes look both me and Magnolia up and down as if she’s scanning for injuries. She walks to her mate, places a hand on the back of his chair and asks, “What’s going on?”Uncle Maven leans back and states, “That’s what I want to know.”Okay, now or never, I have to tell them. I quickly explain, “I know this is going to sound crazy, but I need you to trust me and know that I’ll never lie to you. I found my mate a few weeks ago and he has an in with Xavier Black. Xavier
VioletI’ve never seen Phoenix look at me with such burning intensity. I don’t understand why he seems so upset with seeing me. I thought he would like getting to see me again…I stare into his eyes as confusion and hurt fills my heart. But, I see his eyes flash black, showing that his wolf is present. They flicker back to their normal hazel color and I try to focus on the green ring around the pupil. His voice is harsh as he tries to snap me out of my surprise and says, “Violet, leave.”I nod my head slowly, mentally reassuring myself that this isn’t personal, and I say, “Okay, I will. I just wanted to thank you and make sure you’re safe.”He laughs, it catches me off guard and makes me feel foolish for coming here. He doesn’t care for me the same way that I do for him. He shakes his head and with an amused smile he says, “Violet, why are you worried for my safety? You know what I’m capable of, of course I’m safe.”I scoff and flick my tongue out to lick my chapped lips out of nervou
Five Months Later.QuirinaBryce and I officially became the Alpha and Female Alpha of the Moon Stone Pack three months ago. Annabelle and Franklin became our Beta couple, Hiro and Hazel became our Gamma couple, and Rowan and Winnie are enjoying not having as many responsibilities.All the issues we previously had with Hazel completely disappeared when she finally accepted Hiro as her mate. Because when he marked her, he was able to take away her gift. He holds her power and give it back to her if she ever wants it, but she seems thrilled about no longer seeing when people will die.Mom and dad still live at the pack house, but they are enjoying no longer being in charge and getting to fully focus on Felicity. I don’t know if they’ll ever go anywhere without her again because she has struggled with separation anxiety ever since they returned home.My biological parents have come to visit me and to meet the rest of my family. I talk with them at least 3 times a week, they are perfectly
QuirinaBryce, Charlie, and Harper and I headed home after only two days after the fight. There weren’t many survivors left that were a part of the trafficking ring, but there were tons of kids in the school. My parents along with Magnolia and Hendrix are meeting up with other pack leaders and trying to split up the rest of the people appropriately. There will be no more Supernatural Academy and no more trafficking.I mean, we know it’s impossible to completely abolish all trafficking, but we have done our part and this has helped to take down a huge contributor. I’m ready to be back home, the desire to be some place familiar and to unwind after all the recent events. Bryce had marked me, but I still haven’t marked him, it hasn’t felt right. He’s practically buzzing and glowing with some energy he has now. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know he received some of the powers that I absorbed.I haven’t even discovered everything I absorbed in that moment. I was so desperate to be
BryceThe door opened and we had been expecting more guards or for more prisoners. But now, Phoenix Stone walks into the room.All the guards that had been sitting without a care in the world suddenly stand at attention. I watch in fascination as dark black swirls crawl up Phoenix’s arms and he smirks, “If I were you, I would lock yourself in one of the cages. Or else I’ll make you crumble like the rest of them.”Most of the guards seemed concerned as soon as he said that. Everyone has heard of what Alpha Stone is capable of, and everyone knows that he would do anything for his family and for the legacy he had created. But there’s a couple of guards who doubt him. And one asks, “What do you mean by the rest of them?”Phoenix gives the most wicked smile I’ve ever seen, it’s almost bone-chilling in it’s ruthlessness as he says, “You would not be my first death of day. Now, I will count to five and whoever is out of the cells, well… we’ll get to have some fun.”After that announcement p
QuirinaI think most people would find it odd if I told them that I actually thrive off of chaos. But the moment that I zapped the cameras and everything went down, I took off running. I could hear the whole mansion as it descended into chaos. Everyone complaining, trying to keep guard of their current prisoners, and trying too figure out what the hell happened to me.I can’t help but smirk to myself as I run. I don’t know where I’m going or what exactly I’m doing, but I’ve caused enough chaos that I have time to search without instantly getting caught. I find a stairwell and run down it as fast as my legs can carry me. The first door I see on my right, I open to turn into only to be instantly met by a group of five warriors. I close the door back and take off running back down the stairs, I hear them behind me. Fear is gripping my heart now as I am more panicked than before.I enjoy chaos, but I don’t enjoy the adrenaline that comes with it. It makes me struggle to think clearly and
QuirinaI have to get out. I have to find help. I don’t know what I’m going to do… they’ll figure it out as soon as I leave the mansion and then I’ll be captured before I get anywhere close to the pack borders.My mind is reeling as I rush from one room to the next hopefully getting further from the danger but honestly who knows? I’m running on instinct here.I need to find my family, all of them. Because regardless if we’re blood related or not, we are all family. I try to reach out through the mind link but I huff in frustration as I realize no one is connecting with me.I let out a low grumble and then focus on my surroundings. I haven’t found a single room with a window for me to look outside, I haven’t run into anyone. This is a little too suspicious, wouldn’t there be a lot of people looking for me? My eyes flicker around the room, trying to uncover some answer that I haven’t been able to figure out yet. And my body tenses when I figure out the reason. There’s a camera, it’s sm
QuirinaThe room is too quiet, too cold, too… unnerving.The headmaster looks at me, I’m currently cursing myself for not asking his name. The fact that he knows mine but I don’t know his makes me uneasy. He smiles at me and says, “I don’t know where your parents are, Ms. Stone.”I narrow my eyes at him and spit out, “Liar.”The corner of his mouth twitches up in an amused smirk, like he is enjoying knowing that he is able to get a rise out of me. I want to punch him in the face for it.He gestures towards the chair and says, “Please, take a seat, let us talk like adults.” The way he speaks to me is patronizing, my hands ball up into fists out of frustration. His hazel eyes flicker down to my hands before looking up at me and he says, “I assume you would want to do things properly considering you are about to take the Alpha position. You don’t want to start off with a bad reputation.”I snap at him, “I think you and I both know that my reputation doesn’t matter. It already isn’t in st
BryceI follow behind everyone as we go into the mysterious Supernatural Academy. I’ve heard so much about this place and yet… I don’t know what to think now that I’m here.Quirina is obviously tense and on high alert. She’s towards the front of the group and a small part of me feels uncomfortable with how far apart we are, but I know it’s for the best for her to be towards the front.We come across a mansion like building and Beta Charlie breathes out, “Welcome to the Academy headquarters.”Quirina look to him and looks around, “The headquarters? Not the building where all the students are kept?”He shakes his head no and explains, “This is for staff to live at when they don’t have a rotation at the school. Gives them a chance to be away from the students.”She nods her head, but I notice her deep furrowed brow, something isn’t sitting right with her. It’s moments like these that I wish we had already marked and mated one another because I would love to know what she’s thinking about
QuirinaThe plane ride was quiet, neither Bryce nor I spoke as we flew to my parents. The entire time he held my hand, letting me know that he is here for me if and when I choose to talk.I don’t want to talk. I want to get there now and make sure that they’re okay. When the plane lands Bryce just gives me a tight-lipped smile. I thank the pilot and we get off. Bryce asks me, “So, how do we get there?”I smile softly, “Leave that to me.”At that moment a car pulls up and an older man comes out and says, “A pleasure to see you, Ms. Stone, Mr. Lake.”I nod at the valet and both Bryce and I get in the car and it takes off in the direction I need it to. I know that we will have to walk a bit later, but for now I just lean my head on Bryce’s shoulder and enjoy the ride. He looks out the window, watching as the world passes on around us. I sit up when the valet asks, “Are you here to meet up with the rest of them?”I frown, “Who?”This causes him to frown and he remarks, “The other ones fro
VioletWe’ve been at the Academy for just over a month now.I was right, there was something fishy going on here.They never quit with their antics. All this time, all these years, I thought we had gotten control of the human trafficking, I thought we had ended it! Only to find out that for the most part we did, but for the kids who show potential to be strong they are never put as available for adoption.Quirina was an exception because they couldn’t figure out to control her, but because she was so powerful they thought her brother would be to. So, they kept her brother’s identity from us so that way if he showed potential they would be able to sell him. My fists ball in frustration, I should’ve known. It was too good to be true. But because we found out about it and they found out we found out, now we’re trapped. We’ve been separated for two weeks now, I have no idea what they’ve done to Phoenix, but it makes me worried. Ever since we met, we’ve never been separated for this long.
