I cried for Andrea, and all the demon bloods who had been injured in the battle that had gone on while we were in the Neverplain. I cried for all the sacrifices and the losses, but mostly I cried for Colton. He did what I was meant to do, and I knew now he would suffer for it. The throne in Hell would remain empty and the Horsemen would punish those that helped me try to overthrow them. The battle had already ended when we returned to the earth plain. Tommy told me that they were overwhelmed and losing until my army attacked. He told me that I should be proud of my people, because they were the reason that Midnight Moon was still standing. I wanted to be proud. Hell, I wanted to wrap my head around having all these people ready to lay down their lives for me. But I couldn’t right now. I couldn’t get past the hole in my heart and the grief that I felt. I heard the door go and p
HarperMy eyes flew open, and I recognised the spare landscape of the Neverplain. I looked around to see Drake and War standing with me. “Where’s Marcus?” I asked and looked at War, “Did you let go?” He shook his head and looked around.“Well this is pleasant,” he said. He turned to me with a smile. “Shall we complete this bond then my dear?” I glanced at Drake and felt my leg. I could feel the Neverplain version of the angel blade strapped to my thigh. Drake nodded and stepped back. I stepped forward towards War and looked into his eyes. He smiled down at me and leaned in to kiss me. I felt as he ran his fingers in my hair and grabbed on and yanked my head back. I yelped from the pain.“Do you think I am stupid, child?” he sneered at me. I tried to struggle, but he had a firm grip on my hair. Drake moved forward but stopped as I felt something against my neck. It burned against my skin and I gasped. “Don’t come closer or I will slit her throat and take her to Hell in chains,” War c
TommyI rushed through the corridors back up to the pack house. I had set Greg and a few other Warriors on doors to the basement. I rushed into the library where Aaron, Katie, Alex Caroline and Colton were waiting. I looked Colton in the eye.“Can you do this?” I asked, and he nodded.“Yes, of course I can,” he said.“Are you willing to do this?” I asked, and he nodded again.“Anything for my Queen,” he said.“You understand that this will not go well for you,” Aaron said. “You will be seen as a traitor among the ones you deceived.” Colton nodded. “I know,” he said. He looked at Katie and nodded again. “It’s the least I can do, and I know it’s still not enough for what I have done.” Katie glanced up at him and I saw Aaron tense up.“It’s a start,” she said. “If I get to keep my best friend, then it’s a start.” Colton nodded. “We really need to get down there,” Caroline said. “He needs to get in when they do.” “Brianna knows,” I said. I had been dealing with conflicted feelings sinc
HarperI laid Andrea down on the ground as gently as I could. I looked up at Caroline as I stood up and she bowed her head to me. Colton bent to his knees and looked up at me. I looked around and the three men did the same. Abigail looked up at me with tears in her eyes. She kept looking down at her mother and I could see that everything in the poor little girl was to kneel, but her need to grieve for her mother was strong too. I walked and kneeled in front of her. I forced a smile on my face and wiped at the tears on hers. “Thank you,” I said and her eyes widened. “Thank you for your loyalty. But you don’t need to be strong.” She burst out crying and flung herself at me. I held her as he hung onto me and sobbed. We sat there for a while. I hugged the devastated little girl as I watched the people move around us. I watched as Samual was dragged off through the woods and as the three men carried Andrea back over the border. Finally, it was just me and Abigail sitting on the edge of t
HarperI made my excuses to War and left him alone in the room. I walked down the hallway to Tommy and Louise’s room. As I neared, I could hear arguing.“It’s stupid, that’s what it is,” Louise yelled.“Calm down will you,” Tommy responded, and I heard the sound of skin on skin as she slapped him.“Don’t you fucking tell me to calm down,” she growled, “This is my best friend we are talking, and your bloody niece. What sort of Guardian are you if you are going to let her do this.” Well I guess I knew what they were arguing about. I sighed before knocking on the door. The voices in the room stopped, and I heard footsteps. The door opened and Tommy looked out. I could still see the red mark on his cheek from Louise’s slap. I smiled sympathetically.“Hi,” he said. He then looked behind him. “It might be safer if you didn’t come in.” “Is that her,” Louise called from the room. “Harper Kirby, get your ass in here right now.” Tommy winced and mouthed sorry at me. I shook my head with a smil
HarperI walked into my room and saw that Elias, or War, was lying on the bed. He looked up and smiled at me as I walked in. “Hello sweetness,” he said as he sat up. “Where have you been?” I forced a smile on my face. “I was just catching Drake up with what happened,” I said. “You know with your sister.” I watched his face, but there was no falter of his smile. “Ah yes,” he said. “My apologies for that mess. If I had known what I know now, I would never have left you alone.” He walked over to me and reached out to pull me into an embrace. I flinched away without realising. A hurt look crossed his face, and I widened my smile.“I’m a mess,” I said. “And covered in blood. Let me get a shower and I will be right out.” I went to walk past him and he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me against him. I felt a purr in his body as he pushed himself against my back. “Maybe I could join you in the shower,” he said. I tried not to pull away as he started kissing my neck. The kisses sent shi
Harper“What?” Tommy exclaimed. He shook his head. “I don’t think so.” “It’s the truth,” Caroline said. “I saw it years ago.” She smiled at me. “That was the vision that I saw all those years ago.” Tommy’s eyes widened, and he looked between me and Caroline. “Vision?” he asked, and I nodded. “I heard Samual talking to Brighid about it,” I said and Drake looked up.“Brighid?” he asked, and I nodded again. “Samual didn’t like that his sweet Divine Warrior granddaughter would be the one to open the seal,” Caroline said. “And when he found out that my Colton would be one of the people responsible…” She trailed off and looked at Tommy pointedly.“That was why he attacked the demon bloods?” Tommy asked and Caroline nodded.“He wanted to kill Colton,” she said, “But our family defended him. They were already angry about Nathaniel being exiled.” I watched Colton as she spoke, but he showed no sign of upset. He seemed to be completely aware of the entire story.“But then if Harper is this
HarperColton watched me quietly for a moment before nodding to Tommy behind me. “We need my mum,” he said. He then looked at me. “And your witch.” I turned to look at Tommy and he nodded. “Not here though,” he said and his eyes glazed over. I waited until he was back with us and he gave me a grim smile. “I suspect that we might have some compromised people. I want to make sure that what we say is completely confidential.” He looked towards Damien’s cell as he said it.“He was right about Lily,” I said with a shrug.“I don’t care,” Tommy said, “I don’t trust the prick.” He then looked at Colton and frowned. “I don’t trust this prick either, but at least he can explain some of his shit with the demon. Damien is just a prick.” Colton laughed, and I raised an eyebrow. He shrugged.“Can’t argue with that,” he said. I shook my head at the pair of them. A couple of minutes later Greg Henderson came into the cell. “It’s all set, boss,” he said to Tommy and Tommy nodded. He turned to me.
HarperI don’t know how long we sat there for. It can’t have been that long though. Because soon enough the clearing was a rush of activity. First Tommy came running, followed by Alex and Brianna. It wasn’t long before there were pack warriors all over the place. I tried to explain what happened to Tommy. But I couldn’t keep my eyes from the still forms in the middle of the clearing. “What do we do?” One of the warriors asked Tommy. “Leave him be,” Brin said as he walked into the clearing. “Just give him some time to deal.” I knew that Brin had been there when Marcus’ father had died. Elias told me that he didn’t know much but did know that he had been the one to take care of Marcus’ mother afterwards. Tommy nodded in agreement. He watched Marcus with sadness. He had also been the one to take care of my own mother when my father had died. Slowly the other bodies were removed, and the clearing became empty again. Or almost empty. I sat at the edge watching Marcus. He was still in wo
