PhoenixMagnolia and Charlie fell asleep fast. Violet tossed and turned for a while before eventually getting up and walking over to the lake. I watch her, debating whether or not to join her. She paces around the body of water and I push myself to my feet to be with her. If she wants to talk, I’ll be here. If she doesn’t… that’s okay too. I just want her to know that she's not alone and whatever is troubling her... I can help her through it.I’m concerned to be the first one to speak. I’m scared that I’ll somehow make things worse. I think she’s still upset with me since I refuse to let her touch me or for me to touch her.She looks at me, her blue eyes shining from the light from the moon. Her face contorts in confusion and she clenches her jaw before pacing again. I take a seat on the ground, stretching my legs out and leaning back with my palms on the ground. She continues to walk, every once in awhile her eyes would meet mine. I think she was contemplating whether or not she sh
VioletThe decision to reject Phoenix was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make.Truthfully, I feel like I’m falling in love with him, which made it all the more difficult.But I didn’t expect this to happen. I thought he would let me go, let us just be friends.The movements happened so fast, it’s a complete blur. One moment I’m rejecting him, the next his lips are on mine, his hands on my face and then on my waist as he pulled me into his lap.I’ve settled into his lap now, my legs wrapped around his waist, my hands in his hair softly tugging it. His lips mold perfectly against mine, his tongue slips into my mouth and I can’t help but moan feeling him against me. Every touch, every breath, it’s pure ecstasy and I’m desperate for more. It would be so easy to move down to his neck and pierce my teeth into him, marking him and making him mine… forever.When our lungs can’t take it anymore, we separate, our foreheads resting against one another. Then, I realize the one thing that I
VioletWhen we wake up I feel surprisingly refreshed. For one, I’m not worried about what the day will bring because I know that even if we kill Xavier Black today, Phoenix will still be by my side.Phoenix tells us, “We only have a few more miles to get to the Black Night Pack. If we keep a good pace we should get there by lunch.”Magnolia smiled softly, obviously pleased by the news. We all get to our feet and start walking and Magnolia asks, “What’s our plan once we get there?”Phoenix answers, “I’m hoping we’ll be able to find one of the tunnels that Violet described. It’s best for us to hide out in a place that not many others know about.”I breathe out, “Hopefully, I’ll be able to find it fast. We can’t risk people noticing us.”Phoenix nods his head and says, “Don’t worry about it, Vi. We still have one or two days left before my dad leaves for the auction. He’ll be gone for at least one full day, if not two. We’ll have plenty of time to release your mom and to set a trap for w
VioletI wait at the entrance to the tunnel, eagerly awaiting on Phoenix, Magnolia, and Charlie. This is it, I have no doubt in my mind. Selene feels wide awake in my mind, ready to move forward and do what we came here to do. Magnolia lets out the tiniest squeal as she slides down the ditch just like I did. I grab her arm and pull her to me with a finger to my lips. She nods her head, her eyes wide as she looks at the entrance behind me.Soon, both Charlie and Phoenix slide down and Phoenix grins at me and says, “I knew you could do it.”I smile, pride swelling inside me, and I say, “If I’m right, this one should go all the way to the pack house.”Phoenix steps in first and I hear his footsteps echo and he stops and says, “There’s a gate.”I frown and I walk closer, both Magnolia and Charlie right behind me as we get closer to Phoenix. I see that he’s right, there’s bars blocking the entrance and a lock on the door. It looked like it was a prison door.I glance to Phoenix and he say
VioletUnfortunately, after that spat that Xavier Black had with his daughter, there was nothing else interesting. He spoke with different pack members. Left for dinner, came back to his room to retire, he spoke about he needed to go to bed early.I don’t know what time it is, but I’m truly beginning to wonder how old Xavier is. I know he’s still capable of so much, but hearing the way he talks, it sounds as if we’re dealing with an old man.We all dozed in the tunnel. It was hard to have good sleep when it’s so cold and gloomy in here. But, it’s what we had to do.When morning came, you could hear his heavy footsteps above us and I heard him say, “Finally, time for more recruits.” Then he closed his door and left.I looked over at Phoenix as he stood up and stretched. We soon followed suit and this time, he gestured for the flashlight. I handed it to him and followed as he leaded us ahead. Surely, the way out will be coming up soon, it has to. We’re underneath the pack house. This wo
PhoenixIt is odd being back in this pack after being away for so long. Those smells that I’m so used to associating with being home, it doesn’t feel the same way that it used to. Now, home doesn’t smell like this… it smells like lavender and black currants. It smells like my mate.Realizing that makes my heart stop. I’ve known that I’ve liked her for a long time, but I truly did not know how deep that it went. The fact that she smells like home to me, the fact that she is home to me. The fact that I love her. I stop in my tracks.I love her.That’s what this feeling is, isn’t it?I’m in love with Violet Moon Stone.I gulp down the lump in my throat as I head to my sister’s room. More determined now than ever to ensure that my mate will remain safe. That she will not be harmed in any of this because I don’t know if my heart could bare it.When I reach Beatrix’s door, I don’t even knock before slipping through the door. I feel wind rush in front of my face, and beside me a shoe hit th
*This is an 18+ spicy scene. If you are uncomfortable with this please move to the next chapter.*VioletThe door to the bathroom opens and I freeze. I know that I had locked it.I feel my walls still pulsating around my fingers and I slowly slip them from my heat. My cheeks are burning red because no matter who it is here, it is embarrassing to be caught in this predicament.But his scent of blackberries and oak overwhelms my senses. Selene practically purrs in delight knowing that he’s here. That he’s so close and he could join. That it wouldn’t take much effort at all for us to mark one another tonight.The door closes behind him and it locks. His footsteps are loud as he walks closer to me. I glance up to meet his gaze, his every movement looks absolutely primal. His hazel green eyes are practically glowing as they roam over every part of my body.My natural instinct is to cover up, but it surprises me how brazen Selene is because she whispers to me, “Don’t. Be confident in this in
VioletI can feel Phoenix watching me and I know he is wearing that damn amused smirk. I am terrified to open this bathroom door. I’m positive that at least Magnolia will be awake if not both her and Charlie and I will never hear the end of how I shouldn’t be doing this kind of stuff when they’re on the other side of the wall.But it was worth it. So freaking worth it.I open the door and relief instantly floods through me seeing that the two of them are still asleep. I walk to the small love seat that is a few feet in front of Phoenix’s bed. I look back and watch as Phoenix walks over to me and then lies down on the floor, laying on his side as he watches me. My eyebrows knit together and I say, “If you’re tired we can wake the others so you can have some rest.”He shakes his head no and tells me, “We all need rest right now. I’m not waking them, I can sleep in my bed later.”I nod my head in understanding, but remain sitting up and he raises an eyebrow and says, “You need rest, Vio
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.
