Burn baby Andricia “We need to get back to the pack lands. I need my pack, they need to be safe.” My flames have died out, and Cerberus is licking her emotional wounds in my mind. “We will get them. Don’t worry kitten.” Samson says while brushing the hair out of my face. “We can reside in my territory. I can block the underworld, they won’t even remember where my territory is. I will force the pack not to tell them. I can't do anything until I can figure out what is happening.” I say while looking at Silas, who has a strange expression. He comes over and once again shimmers us, but this time to golden summit. The world fades in around us and I see all the pack warriors looking at us from the training field. “Pack meeting now!” Samson shouts and everyone immediately starts running to us. “Something has happened, and we must go away for a while. My brothers will be back, and you will not tell them anything about Andricia.” Silas is up in the room, packing everything that has ever
Disappearing ActSamsonI’ve been at my pack all night. I explained what was happening, and they seemed to understand completely. Especially the ones that are mated. However, most seem devastated by the news. They loved Andricia to death. Even though she is a true-blooded alpha, she has natural Luna qualities. The amount of care and support she gave Christopher after what I did to him is the heart of a true Luna. This pack will not be the same in her temporary absence, but I will get everything back to the way it was. The pain I felt just watching Andricia and Cerberus suffer at my brother's hands made me sick. After Silas brought her back to the territory I found myself bent over the porcelin spewing the remnants in my stomach. Now I’m standing in our room, staring at Cyrus’ scorched bed. I hear my brothers approaching the manor before the front door opens. They’ve come alone, which is surprising. I heard them enter the house and climb the steps, but they stopped outside the door. C
Who needs control anyway?Deep Culloden WoodsAndriciaOne year. 365 days. I never would’ve imagined myself being here. We spent 6 months crammed in Silas’ house. 3 months of that I spent curled up in a ball from the pain. Cerberus put up a fight, but after I reminded her of the pain we were put through, she went quiet. I haven’t heard from her since.We have kept our distance, I made sure I found an area far enough to not be affected by the bond. Once I get close enough, pain takes over. We went right outside the distance it reached. Surprisingly, it is still in Culloden Woods. They stretch farther than any of us anticipated.‘Little bird?’ Silas’ voice rings in my head, pulling me from my thoughts. I step back from the cliff and turn to see him emerging from the tree line. I found a clearing that had a waterfall. The water below is clear, but it seems deep as you can’t see the bottom.His cold arms wrap around my waist, and he peppers kisses on my shoulder softly. We haven’t complet
She can fly? Silas I brought her to the only witch I have kept contact with over the years. The white witch had vanished into thin air and I needed help finding her. Andricia is deteriorating quickly; I know it’s from her constant fight with Cerberus. After the day she destroyed the cabin, she passed out and hasn't woken up for a week now. I didn’t know where else to turn, so I brought her to the witches' secret haven. Now I watch as Andricia screams and the glass shatters. The witch falls to the ground rocking holding her ears to drown it out, but I can’t imagine it is working. She slowly stops and opens her eyes, looking around. I felt the piece of glass in my cheek and pulled it out, but her eyes got large, and she covered her mouth. “I’m sorry.” It’s strained, and her eyes are full of tears, but she quickly throws the door open and tries to get away from us. I chase her out into the snow because we are on a mountain. I see her sliding to a stop and my breath catches in my thro
Sweet DreamsKendrickI walk into the chambers that the meeting is in and see our spot front and center because we are the leading pack. I don’t see Fusilis anywhere until I look to the top. Her table sits empty and the hole in the stone is still there from when she threw Silver Crest’s table plate at the wall.This meeting is pointless I have no reason to be here. I notice no Lunas in the room only Alphas. Primly stands in the center of the room waiting for everyone to take their seats. We sit at our table and the meeting begins. I notice how bored my brothers and I look Cyrus is leaning back in his chair Samson has his feet on the table and arms crossed and Duron has his arms crossed and head down with his eyes closed.It is a bunch of nonsense that speaks of disputes that happened in the past year changes of territory’s new land being acquired. New treaties and alliances that packs may have formed together. I notice Primly skim over my table then look up to Andricia’s and his eyebr
Life can be a bitch. Andricia Too often, I find myself breaking free from a trance like this. My hands and knees in the soil laced with ash. My heart-burning eyes are full of tears, so I keep them shut. I fear the destruction I’ve caused because of control, or lack of it. I’ve never had a problem with control, but lately, it’s all impulse. There is a war raging within me between powers, and I fear that I won’t come out on top with either of them. My body can’t deal with the physical toll it causes. Ever since I left, my healing has been off, and I think it has something to do with Cerberus. She said to me a while back, ‘If they can’t have us, nobody can.’ She is plotting, but I can’t figure out what she has done. His cool grip lands on the tattered clothes that hang off my body. He stayed by my side through it all, just like he said. ‘Little bird, don’t put yourself through this again.’ Silas chimes in my head and I feel the tears becoming more adamant about escaping. A sob pushes
My mateAndricia I look around for Silas and see him standing just behind Cyrus, who is looking at me with a desperate look. I run to him and Silas wraps me in his arms, lifting me. My legs instinctively wrap around him and I lay my head on his shoulder. My anxiety and stress melt as he holds me tight in his embrace, but the fear is daunting. “Si I’m scared,” I say quietly into his shoulder and I hear his humm begin, making my eyes droop instantly. He is trying to calm my body and I feel his compulsion wash over me and my fear is drowned out by it. ‘Little bird, you need to do this. No more running away. You will be fine. I promise I will be right by your side.’ His voice entered my mind and ran throughout my body, calming my buzzing blood. He wants me to hear Cyrus out, but for what possible reason? Am I too much of a hassle for just him? I mean, I destroyed our entire village because I had no control anymore. I slide down his body, landing on my own two feet. I turn to face m
Stressing. Cyrus I hold her tight as I maneuver through the dense smoke. She has fallen asleep, holding on to me tightly with her face in my chest. Anubis is at peace for the first time since the ball. My skin no longer crawls with disgust because I know I didn’t do anything with another she-wolf. Now my mate knows also, and she sleeps soundly in my arms. ‘We have a visitor.’ Duron's voice rips through my head, putting my mind back into overdrive. Who could be visiting, and why would they not call first? Why didn’t he tell me who was visiting? I stopped walking and let out a frustrated breath. I know I’m close to my pack, and I don’t want anyone to see my littl
