VioletI do as the goddess told me to do and I rush out, determined to make it back home in time. Based on the sympathetic look that she gave me, I don’t think that I have much time left.I run out onto the bridge and although the longing to dive in seems even stronger this time I do my best to ignore it. But it’s like it whispers to me, I have no followers, no one to stop me, I could jump in and forget all my worries forever.My wolf, Selene, is the only one to keep me sane, she tells me not to jump. She reminds me of who we have at home waiting for us. And for awhile, I’m able to listen to her.At some point as I run, I notice the boards beneath my feet seem more unstable, they feel wobbly. They’ve felt solid this entire time, what’s changed?I have to move slower so that I won’t fall through. I still have at least 100 feet in front of me to get back to the staircase. I look at the bridge, I cannot fall through, but I don’t have time to waste. I can’t go slow and be careful.With t
Violet I was dead. I know that I was dead. I stopped breathing, that starry water drowned me. I saw the moon goddess look at me with sympathy because I didn’t make it. My wolf walked over and sat by her side. The moon goddess placed a hand on my wolf’s head and smiled at it, a spark lit up between them and I realized in that moment that my wolf was named Selene because she truly is a part of the moon goddess Selene. I have so many questions swirling in my mind, that I was unable to ask because out of nowhere, it’s like I was given a lifeline. I saw it, a bright yellow rope, a tether to bring me back home. I grasped onto it, holding tight until I was brought back to life. When I was thrusted back into my earthly form, I notice an intense stinging in my neck. I hiss and try to gasp for air, needing to feel it’s relief flow through me, but instead, I immediately throw up. I cough up this midnight blue water, tears sting my eyes from my violent heaving as that evil starry water gets e
Magnolia Charlie and I leave Phoenix and Violet. We’re all tired, but Violet went through a near-death experience and deserves rest more than any of us do. We can talk about new plans and what’s to come tomorrow. We go find Phillip so that he can show us a room. Apparently, my dad brought so many people that there was only one room left that was available, but that’s fine. Truly, it doesn’t matter, Charlie is like my little brother. We get into the room and immediately, I collapse in a seat and kick my feet up. I tilt my head back, looking toward the ceiling wondering what’s going to happen now. Knowing that Henry’s spirit is back on this world is almost too much for me to bear. I want to go find him, now. But… it’s going to be different. He’ll be a different person, he won’t remember me. Yes, it will still be his spirit, but… I don’t know. The whole thing feels so complicated. I breathe out and tell Charlie, “I’m not going to take the Female Alpha position.” I can feel his e
Violet Phoenix and I couldn’t have slept for more than an hour when he woke me up as he jerked awake. I had been lying on his chest, but he moves to sit up so I move off of him with my eyebrows furrowed as I ask, “What’s going on?” He breathes out, shakes his head softly, his dark brown hair rustles in front of his eyes from the motion and he says, “Apparently our guests are causing quite the commotion.” I frown and he moves out of bed so I instantly follow. We had fallen asleep in the nude so now we both rush to throw on some clothes before running out the door. The moment we walk in the hall we can hear the faint sound of yelling. Phoenix grumbles as he quickens his pace toward the soul room with me right on his heels. If the door had been shut then no one would’ve heard my family because this room is sound proofed, but of course, it had been left open for their voices to echo down the hall. I can hear Charlie’s voice, clearly upset as he raises his voice, “I can’t be there wit
Violet It’s been two weeks since Xavier Black died and Phoenix and I took over the pack. Today, we will have an official ceremony to unite our pack together especially because now we have so many new members that transferred over from the Renegade Pack. So much has happened in such a short period of time. The day after I came back from guiding the souls, we found Phoenix’s mom, Katy. Katy, my mom, and my dad all knew each other from way back in the day before I was born. From what my mom told me, Katy was purchased from the Academy by Xavier. Eventually, mom and dad freed her from Xavier’s hold, but unbeknownst to them, Xavier still went and visited her at night and threatened her if she were to tell anyone. Katy was pregnant and no one knew when the Moon Stone Pack had been attacked. Xavier found her, could sense the life inside her and kept her alive to have his children. After that, he kept her in captivity, using her as a pawn to make his children do his bidding. Katy was w
Five Years Later Charlie I’ve been the Beta of the Moon Stone Pack for one year now. Things have gone well over the past 5 years… well, for the most part. Magnolia has still been unable to find Henry in this new form he’s taken. She doesn’t like to talk about it, she feels like she’s a failure for being unable to find her mate. There’s so many different possibilities of why though. Maybe she just hasn’t gone to the right place, maybe he has died in this new form he has, there’s no telling why she hasn’t found him again. I would understand if she gave up her search and decided to settle down. But I don’t think that’s what she wants. Instead, she’s turned into a ghost of herself. She rarely smiles, she drinks any chance she can get her hands on a bottle, and slowly, she has stopped traveling and instead mopes around the Moon Stone Pack. The Moon Stone Pack has done great over the years. The pack is absolutely flourishing under Phoenix and Violet’s hands. They have become well know
MagnoliaThese past five years have been brutal. I constantly stay on the road, traveling to different packs, making frequent pit stops, doing anything I can on the road to heighten my chances of meeting my second chance mate. My Henry.The first year was the worst. I almost gave up after that. But Violet reminded me that I need to give myself time to live while I search. My whole life doesn’t have to be wrapped up in finding Henry.By the end of the second year I allowed myself to start seeing someone. I have a friends with benefits thing going on with Phillip Everest. He’s a nice guy, good to look at, takes me on wonderful dates. He makes me laugh, he’s the first person to really make me feel alive again.Honestly, if I didn’t know that Henry’s spirit was still somewhere out there waiting for me then I would probably choos
HendrixI move out of that closed in room as quickly as I can. I need to get back to Harper, we need to get out of this mess and head home. As I walk back to the room where I left her, my wolf, Henry, constantly begs and whimpers for me to turn around and not leave our mate behind.Mate… pfft.Mates are how you get hurt in life. The whole mate thing should’ve died out by now. We should be free to make our own choices and decide who we want to be with. Not have some magic connection that is practically impossible to ignore.Obviously, this girl, whatever her name is… she made a choice to be with someone else and not to wait for me. And it’s fine, I don’t want her, anyway. I can’t take the risk... not again.I walk into the room to see Harper and the man who purchased her is holding his hand out t
