Logan I laid her down gently on the floor and asked Cassie what happened. I knew she wasn't dead I would have felt that. Charlotte leaned over Titus putting her hand over his forehead. "She came running over the minute she realized it was Taylor. Titus tried to tell her that he was too far gone - his body was beyond broken and bleeding. I've never seen something so horrible. But she wouldn't accept that he couldn't be saved. She grabbed a bowl of something off the counter and cut her hand pouring the blood in the bowl. We tried to stop her but she put up like a fource field or whatever. Then she poured that stuff all over her brother and placed her cut hand on his chest. She started singing and you could feel the power in the room. We watched her for a minute then Titus said she was going to kill herself if he didn't help so he grabbed her other hand and joined in. Taylor... his body pulled back together so fast it was like watching him get injuried in reverse. As soon a
Logan I woke to Jason shaking me. "Dad said it's time to go. Grab Azalea and let's go," he said before walking out. I looked over at my mate still sound asleep in my arms and kissed her softly before standing up and stretching. I scopped her up and walked out seeing Titus with his arm around Cassie and the twins headed to the door. Titus looked thinner and pale but was moving under his own steam. I glanced down at my mate and could see how her cheeks were more hollow and big dark circles under her eyes. We made our way out to the SUV's that were waiting to take us to the plane. I was glad to see that Taylor was going with us as I knew she would want to see him once she woke up. The drive to the airport was a silent one. Azalea slept the whole way and Cassie and my mom both dozed off. When we entered the plane the smell of food made my stomach growl and I silently thanked my father for his foresight. Once we took off my mother, sister and Kailani set up the food, serving pl
Titus Logan explained that they had literally healed every person left in the building, major, minor all gone. Then he talked about what Charlotte had discovered about the ground around the building they had been in and how she had gathered the fae that were in attendance and made some sort of power circle once she knew what was wrong with us. He explained that she said we were like a dead battery and needed charged. He said the vegitation died and then she shocked us. Twice. Well Azalea four times. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose with my free hand, the other wrapped around my mate in my lap. I took a sip of the tea before I started. The witch was good - I could already feel the tea motivating my body. "Alright. So you know that fae get their power from the earth, similar to witches, but much more. Fae get their power from life and it's almost an endless source as it's constantly being replenished. When we use our powers it's much the same able to be restor
Azalea Before I knew it a week had flown by. A week in which all I did was eat sleep and cuddle with Logan. A few days in my brother came to apologize. He looked a little worse for wear - spotting a black eye, a busted lip and a limp. I had already forgiven him but seeing him like that made me smile a little. I knew what or shall I say who happened to him. Logan. He did not take kindly to anyone hurting my feelings. We talked for awhile before he told me him and Kailani would be returning home the next day. He said he needed to make sure that their pack was training hard and getting ready for the war to come. My heart hurt at that as I remembered the three lives lost. After the first week I was too restless to stay in bed anymore. While I was still seriously under weight, my energy had returned and my skin was no longer sallow with my bones sticking out. After Logan left to go to work I got myself dressed in a cute jumper and went out to the garden. I had a lot on my m
Azalea I spent most of my day with Hortencia. I remembered to bring the books and note pad. I asked her what felt like a hundred questions and she patiently answered them as we harvested more of my garden. The sun was bright and I felt more engerzised than I had in awhile. When I asked her more about what the witches did to wolves they caught she said much of it was in the book I had just started. She did tell me that I should be safe enough to shift as long as my mate was close. She said that she wanted me to spend some time thinking of some potions that I wanted to make. That with my unique blend of skills there had to be something that I thought could be useful to me. I asked her if potions were only liquids or powered like we had done before. When she asked me why I explained that I could have used my voice when we were battling but that I wasn't sure that it wouldn't hurt the people that were fighting with us as well as those against us. She smiled and asked what I
Azalea I had so many questions for Hortencia after reading that. We spend much of the next week outside in the garden as she answered them. Then we began breaking down some of the potions in the book, some of which had very rare ingredients and not all of this world. I had written down some ideas for spells that I thought would be useful to me, but I wasn't quite ready to share them yet. She did show me how to create a putty like substance and together we created a potion to mix with it to try out my idea. Of course now we needed guinea pigs. I asked the twins and Titus if they could help me out with it and they came out to the garden along with Cassie. I explained what we had created and the idea behind it and what we were going to try to do. I wanted to see if it would only work on using my voice so I had Titus come to try his voice out on it as well. The twins were always up for some excitement and easily agreed. Though they complained that the ear putty was cold they
Azalea I had a hard time the rest of the day. I was very unsettled and couldn't sit for long. I barely ate dinner and I was worrying Logan. After dinner he drew a bath and we sat there in the hot water as he tried to massage away my panic. His distraction worked and for a few hours after I slept. Until the nightmares hit again. This time I didn't recognize the place and only some of the people. I saw enforcers that I only recognized because of their uniform fighting and I saw fire. I watched in horror as Charlotte was blasted into a group of enforcers, all of them tumbling down like pins. Then I watched as Rich ran over and scooped her up before hding behind a desk. Other enforcers were coming into the room and lots of shifters spilling into the room trying to avoid being struck. I saw him hand Charlotte's body to one of the enforcers who managed to get out of the room before the whole room blew up. I woke drenched in sweat and screaming. Logan jerked up beside me and I
Azalea I slept well for a few hours until I felt a pull. I woke up and threw on a night gown. I looked over to make sure that Logan was still asleep before slipping out of our room. I let my feet lead me out the back door and through the garden into the forest. I thought momentarily that it was strange that I didn't see any enforcers around but still I continued. I needed to go though I didn't know where. I walked for a while through the woods until I came to a small clearing covered in moon flowers and bathed in moon light. The cleared glowed in a way that should have been eerie but instead felt soothing. I sat down in the middle of the clearing the fragrant smell of moon flowers surrounding me. I could almost feel a charge in the air that called out to my power and I sighed feeling relaxed. I heard a noise in front of me and watched a woman step out into the clearing with me. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen and I stared in awe as she came closer to me
