PHOENIX

I opened my eyes, the gleaming rays of the sun immediately assaulting them. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling while reflecting on all that had happened yesterday.

Arizona and I had spent all afternoon and evening brainstorming on how the last part of the medallion of faiye had gotten to my house.

I had also tried to come up with theories on why my Dad had the medallion of faiye. We however made an unanimous decision to keep everything away from Alex and Adriana till we were exactly sure what this was about.

We had to find out my Dad's involvement in all this.

I hopped off my bed and quickly took a shower, getting ready.

I headed down for breakfast.

As soon as I settled down to eat, Arizona came down looking sleep deprived. I furrowed my brows at her and she just huffed and went to take a seat across from me.

I handed her a plate and she settled down to eat.

'You look like shit Ari' I said, wondering what was wrong with her.

    PHOENIX I woke up on a cold, hard surface. I opened my eyes to a dimly lit room. I sat up but was held back by some restraints. I furrowed my brows and turned only to see my hands and feet in shackles. I looked around the room to see iron bars a few feet from where I was lying. I observed my surroundings and it didn't take long for me to realise I was in a dungeon of some sort. I tried to remember how I got here. The last thing I remembered was being lost after chasing the butterfly and then being struck on the head. I gasped.I had been kidnapped. The chains rattled as I moved, the sound oddly familiar. I concentrated, feeling like there was something I needed to remember that I wasn't. My head began to hurt as my eyes watered. I moved my hands to cradle my aching head when the chains rattled again, making the oddly familiar sound. Everything started rushing back to me as I stared wide eyed at the wall opposite me. I remembered everything, hot flashes rushi

    ARIZONA I huffed and puffed, groaning deeply. We had been stuck in this library for hours on end going through books upon books, looking for anything we could find on Celeste's life. I had been complaining, now taking to huffing and puffing, to express my displeasure at having all my brain cells being fried by being in this place. I just laid on the sofa in the library while Alex and Adriana walked around, looking through rows upon rows of books. Something just didn't sit right with me but I was yet to find out what it was. Adriana walked to the sofa I was lying on, book in hand and sat beside me before she began to read out loud. 'Reincarnation is a process signifying the reappearance and rebirth of a person. Though it happens sometimes, this process is not common. Usually when it happens, the incarnate has a mission to fulfill. Though doubted, the incarnate rarely has memories of his previous life. It is sometimes said that the incarnate will keep being born, dying an

    JACKSON After Marcus had explained his deranged brother's - he was in my opinion deranged as he had no qualms about taking someone else's mate - obsession with Phoenix, I knew this whole thing just got deeper. Not only did I have to hurry up and find Phoenix before my one month was over or mate with another wolf, I had to do so before a psychotic vampire finds her, that's if he hasn't already done so. I quickly led Marcus back to my pack, against my better judgement. When we were close to pack borders, I mind linked David to meet me in my office. I turned to continue leading Marcus, when I saw he already had it covered. He was walking briskly like he had been here before - which he was. I got to my office and pushed open the door, walking in. David stood up immediately and frowned when he saw Marcus. I sat down, running my hands through my hair. 'Who is this, Alpha' David asked, looking straight at Marcus. I knew instantly that he was trying to figure out what he was.'I gue

    PHOENIX I walked through the dark hallway, the stones beneath my boots creaking eerily. I had melted the iron bars surrounding the human sized cage I was kept in, almost sizzling myself in the process. Now, I was stuck with trying to navigate my way through a very dark hallway to escape. My ears perked up as I tried to listen. Thinking about it, I remembered Adriana saying I was also part vampire. I concentrated hoping to unlock my vampire side. After much breath holding exercises, I was about ready to give up. However, my eyes started feeling itchy. I felt a weird sensation beneath my eye balls and everything got clearer. I ran my tongue along my teeth to find wickedly sharp fangs. I quickly focused on navigating my way out. A small creak had me halting as I stopped and crouched low to see who it was. A guard walked past as I held my breath. I could have easily set him on fire but the last thing I needed was to draw attention to myself and a glow in the dark was a sur

    PHOENIX I looked up at my father's cold blooded murderer, getting up. I could feel my eyes getting hotter as I stalked closer to Maximus and his witch cohort. The witch began chanting and a blue ball grew from her hands. When she pointed it at me, I sent a ball of fire to it and her blue ball of dark magic burned off, sizzling her hands in the process. Her eyes widened as I smirked, taking in the level of damage I had done to her hands with just one little ball of fire. She started backing up, about to run away but I wasn't having it. I allowed another ball of fire to warm up in my hands and I sent it directly to the ground she was standing on. A big ring of fire surrounded her and she squeaked as half of her cloak burned off. She tried to put out her cloak that was heavily encased in fire as the fire surrounding her grew. I turned to see Maximus whistling urgently. At first I furrowed my brows, not knowing what he was up to. My curiosity was satisfied when I saw

    JACKSON I breathed in deeply, grief washing deliriously over me. Raw pain nagged at my heart, anguish clawing through my being. A hand on my shoulder startled me out of my misery, snapping me back into daunting reality. David looked at me with pity. I felt lost. So lost... Sniffles sounded few feet from me, the sound uncanny. Red puffy eyes stared back at me when I turned, the reason for those tears shattering my heart.Arizona whimpered. I sagged. She was gone. Grief once more clawed at my heart strings, my chest tighting painfully. A tear rolled painfully down my cheeks. My ears began to ring, my vision blurring. She was gone.She was really gone. Someone muttered my name, shaking me but it sounded far away.Too far away. I gasped and shot up, my vision clearing up. My beta, David stood over me, peering at me strangely. A meticulous beeping filled the air and I turned, gasping in relief. She was alive, okay. 'Alpha are you okay' David's voice rang in my ears, fi

    PHOENIX Blinding bright lights hit my eyes, momentarily stunning me immediately I opened them and I blinked rapidly. A hazy figure sat to my left, vaguely clutching my cold fingers. Jackson. He slept peacefully, his jet black hair falling carelessly over his face. Dark shadows lay underneath his eyes. He must have been stressed. I smiled tiredly. He moved a little, stirring. Sea blue eyes met my green ones when his eye lids blinked open. He sat up. He screamed some words, half of which I couldn't possibly hear over the ringing in my ears and the door bursted open. A man spotting salt and pepper hair and a dazzling white coat came in. 'how do you feel Luna' he asked quietly. I turned to him. Luna?He was talking to me? 'I am fine' I answered him, my throat burning. A movement out of the corner of my eyes caught my attention and I turned to see Jackson holding a glass of water to my dry lips. I smiled a little at the helpful gesture, sipping the water slowly. The

    PHOENIX I breathed in deeply, nerves rushing erratically through me as I sat still, getting prepped for my big day. Makeup artists ran around adding finishing touches to my makeup, hair and dress but I could scarcely register what they were up to. When they were done, they bowed deeply and left the room, leaving me to my bundle of nerves. I trembled. From the background, I heard the door behind me snap open and someone walked in, shutting the door behind them. I turned to two smiling faces looking at me with pure elation. 'You look beautiful Phoenix' Jackson's mother, Eleanor said. She walked up to me and pulled me into her arms in a hug, her lips pulled back in a kind smile. I closed my eyes and hugged her back warmly, letting myself take in her rich lavender scent. Beside her, a throat was cleared and Jackson's mother, Eleanor, released me. I was allowed to breath for two seconds before I was again gathered, this time into the strong arms of Jacqueline, Jackson'

She was out of control with hatred. Phoenix closed her eyes quietly, breathing in calmly. She remembered what Caleb had told her after he mumbled earnestly that her mom was alive. Stay focused, he had said. If you get lost in your thoughts everyone dies, he had told her.

    PHOENIXThe eery darkness blanketed the whole compound, crickets chirping wildly. I looked on, reality sinking. My mind went back to my earlier conversation with Lana.She had dropped by, fingers trembling wildly. I looked on, my gaze resting softly on her. she sat beside me and took my hands in her trembling ones. "Luna, I want you to listen to me. It's urgent" she mused, her voice sounding rushed. I turned to her, silently willing her to speak. She sighed, heavily. "I shouldn't be doing this but I can't be quiet anymore. I think Conrad, my brother is working against the Alpha" she mused.That had me seating up, eyes wide. "He had been acting strangely, distant so I followed him one time. He had climbed up the mountain and met with a man he had called Kenneth. They talked about a woman they both referred to as Mistress. They are plotting to attack, Luna, attack tonight"I sat up. "What" I squeaked. My throat burned from lack of use. Lana got up, dashing into the kitchen. She

    JACKSONThere was silence across the room, eery silence. Maximus? Maximus! I turned sharply to see disbelief, anger and confusion pass across the faces in the room - the last being on Owen. I still stood frozen. It was Caleb who broke the silence, his voice resounding through the room. 'Maximus?'Olga turned to him.'Yes. The Vampire your pack took down. Krystal had being in the fight. I thought she had died. I had mourned her' Olga's voice broke 'only for her to resurface again'.I unfroze, confused. 'She was there during the fight?' I asked. Olga nodded. 'She ran away from home. Next I hear, she was dead or was supposedly dead, killed during the battle against the Vampire Maximus' 'How then did she survive' Caleb asked.It was Owen who spoke after his initial confusion had worn off. 'Witches, unlike you believe, are powerful. We don't die easily. She must've survived the battle'Caleb sighed.I turned to Olga who looked blankly at the wall, a question burning in my mind.'

    JACKSONTension permeated the room as everyone sat at the very edge of their seat. 'Why are we here again' a lazy drawl taunted me, the source, a purple eyed wizard. I cleared my throat. 'I summoned you here because I need your help' I answered, my gaze transfixed on who appeared to be their leader, a middle aged woman with gleaming purple eyes. The wizard cackled, eyes flashing. I stiffened. 'why would a mighty Alpha as yourself need help from a mere witch clan' he rambled, his taunt clear in his tone. 'Technically, it is not helping if you are fixing what you damaged' Caleb chirped in, annoyed. The wizard straightened in his seat, eye brows furrowing in confusion. The witch, the leader of their clan, the middle aged woman turned abruptly to me, fixing me a pertinent gaze. 'what does that mean'I straightened in my seat. 'You must've heard about the recent attacks on my pack' I mused. 'From investigations we have been able to deduce that with the help of a pack member, a

    JACKSONI walked down the stairs, my hand mindlessly resting loosely on the banister. My mind drawled on slowly. A figure came into view, pacing around the living room. CalebHe stilled upon seeing me. 'How's she' he asked worriedly. I sighed. 'She refused to eat. I had to force feed her' I told him 'How are the arrangements coming along' I continued. 'Everything is going well. I had a chat with Alpha Rain. The funeral will hold in his pack training grounds' he mused. 'I will let Phoenix know' I told him.He nodded sadly * * *Birds chirped, wind blew, frogs hopped around, the sky gloomy. Few feet away, fire roared sadly consuming the body of Katerine Standford, Phoenix's mother. Beside me, Phoenix looked on numbly. I wrapped my hands around her, holding her to myself.As the smoke rose up to the sky, pack members of the Half crescent pack bowed their heads, silently mourning the loss of the former Beta female of their pack. Hours upon hours passed as each pack member in a

The pair of feet moved closer coming to rest behind me'Mistress'Kenneth. I sighed, nodding for him to go on. 'The informant is here to see you. The informant insists on speaking with you in person' Kenneth scottish drawl was present. I turned stone faced to Kenneth, my eyes flashing. My eyes darted to the figure beside him, my purple orbs coming to rest on blue green ones and I stilled, my eyes widening. 'You are the informant?' I asked in disbelief. There was a corresponding nod. I cleared my throat, quickly composing myself. 'speak' I bellowed. The informant bowed. 'Mistress, I failed to get the information as you asked. The Luna's friend, Caleb, walked in on me in the Alpha's office. I had to retreat' I froze, my insides boiling.

    PHOENIXMurmurs filled my ears, moving all around me as I sat numbly. Beside me, Arizona droned on but I could scarcely hear what she was on about. I was tired, my eye lids protesting against the lack of sleep last night. My eyes closed slowly giving itself recourse for a few minutes before I bolted up. Laughter filled the air. Arizona. She kept talking, going on and on before she walked out, leaving me to my peace. I was about to go back to my restless sleep when movement caught my eye. Jacqueline. Her eyes were bloodshot, red, crease lines being evidence of her tears. She looked worse for wear. I shook myself awake before moving to her. I took a seat beside her, grabbing her hands to give it a squeeze. She turned to me, giving me a sad smile before bursting into tears, her bottom lip trembling. 'He doesn't want me Phoenix. He is leaving' she mumbled out. I hugged her, wrapping my arms around her and rubbing her back. 'who is?' I asked softly. 'Caleb' she murmured. I

    PHOENIXDusk slowly set in as I sat numbly, looking out the window. My gaze rested calmly on the expanse of land that was the compound. I sighed. Jackson had been gone the whole day. And I missed him. Our relationship seemed strained. And I couldn't tell why. My head snapped up when the living room doors snapped open. A sullen Jackson and a worried Caleb walked in. Caleb nodded in greeting to me. Jackson walked on, ignoring me. I looked at Caleb. 'Where have he been' He sighed tiredly. 'He had business he had to finish at the Blue moon Pack' he answered and my heart sunk. Jackson walked back in just then, ringing for Amy. I turned to Caleb forcing a smile on my face. 'Join us for dinner Caleb'* * *The dinning room was fairly quiet as we ate slowly. The only thing that could be heard was the continuous click of our cutleries as they repeatedly hit the ceramic that was our dishes. Anger and sadness brimmed inside me.

    JACKSON'It must have gotten to your notice that the Blood Red Pack was attacked recently' I began casually as I sat across Alpha Colin in his dimly lit office.I watched for his reaction. He shrugged. 'I heard about it but I thought it was but a rumour. I had no idea it was true' he told me. He looked fairly innocent Or he must be a very good liar. I sighed. 'That is actually not why I am here' I told him. He sat up in his seat, his red rimmed eyes narrowing to slits. 'What then brings you here''Alpha Colin, I have information that you trade with humans' i told him simply. He inhaled sharply. 'what do you mean?' I raised my brows sardonically. 'You know what I mean Colin. You trade with humans but... ''That is not fair Alpha Jackson. Your pack is bordered with water, good arable land and technology. You have everything you need even if you decided not to trade with the outside world but my pack lacks good land. We rear products that our neighbors already have. Who will
