Elias

“Oh my goddess, Elias?” I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My sister rushed towards me and threw herself at me. I pulled her into a hug and she began crying. She was all skin and bones and looked tired but it was my sister. I recognised her scent immediately. But how could it be? It had been over fifteen years since she was taken, not to mention that we saw her body. We buried her. But she was right here, in my arms. I pulled her away slightly to look at her. Her blue eyes, almost identical to my own, sparkled with tears as they streamed down her face.

“Lily?” I asked, “Is it really you?” She grinned and nodded.

“Yes baby brother, it’s me,” she said. “Oh my goddess, I thought I would never see you again.” She buried her frail body into mine again and I took in her scent. I felt tears slipping down my own cheeks. I had so many questions, but right now I was just happy that my sister was here, in my arms.

“Erm, Elias?” I looked up to see Harper inching nearer to us. She looked

    HarperI must have been exhausted after everything over the last few days. Elias and I got back to our room, and I was asleep before my head hit the pillow. If I dreamed then I didn’t remember it. I could tell that it was almost afternoon by the time I woke up alone in bed. I stretched and felt Elias’ side and it was cold. Had he even come to bed? I looked around the room, but it was very much empty. With a sigh, I crawled out of bed and headed into the bathroom for a shower. My worries over Elias were getting worse. He seemed to be acting more strange as time went on. I had showered and dressed and was just getting ready for the day when Elias walked into the room. I smiled at him but he headed straight into the bathroom and closed the door without a word. He came out five minutes later and came over to me. “Morning beautiful,” he said, and I smiled as he kissed my forehead.“Where have you been?” I asked and a strange look crossed his face. “Just out for a walk,” he said dismissi

    EliasHarper and I headed straight over to the cells after the meeting. She seemed quiet as we walked over.“Are you okay?” I asked, and she looked up at me.“Why didn’t you tell me that you went to speak to Damien this morning?” she asked. I could tell she wasn’t happy about it, but neither was I. Mostly because I couldn’t actually remember going to the cells. I went to sleep last night and when I woke up I was in the woods with blood on my hands. We reached the entrance to the cells, and I leaned against the wall. Harper stood in front of me, still waiting for an answer.“Well, can you at least tell me what happened?” she asked. I looked anywhere but at Harper. I heard her growl in frustration and looked back at her.“Dammit Elias, I thought we were a team. Why are you shutting-”“I can’t tell you,” I finally said, interrupting her. She stopped and stared at me. “Why not?” she demanded.“Shut up,” the demon said in my head. “Because I don’t remember,” I said and Harper’s eyes wide

    Harper“I could come with you,” I said to Elias as we walked back the rest of the way to the pack house. Elias smiled at me. “Could you?” he asked. “I would love you to come with me, but you have so much to do here.” I didn’t like it but he was right. The idea of being separated from Elias, even for a short time, made my stomach turn. We had been everywhere together for the last six months and I couldn't imagine not seeing him every day. But I knew I couldn’t leave. I needed to help with preparing Brianna. I wanted to spend time with Louise, and support her while she dealt with what happened. Plus the quicker we were able to get the seal fixed once and for all, then the quicker Louise and the rest of the pack were out of danger. Elias going to see his parents on his own would help speed that along. We could be ready to do whatever we needed to do by the time he returned. Still, the uneasy feeling remained. We saw Marcus and Lily walking out of the pack house just as we reached the s

    HarperSaying goodbye to Elias was harder than I thought. By the time he had made plans with Tommy and packed a few things it was time for him to go and I felt like I was losing something. It didn’t feel like my mate was going away for a few days; it felt like he was never coming back. I couldn’t shake the feeling that things wouldn’t be the same. I stood on the steps of the pack house with Marcus and Lily and watched the taillights of his car until they disappeared down the drive. Marcus leaned over and gave me a one-armed hug.“Don’t look so worried,” he said, “He can handle himself, and will be back in no time.” I smiled up at him to say thanks but caught Lily glaring at me so shrugged Marcus’ arm away. “I’m okay,” I said and then smiled at Lily. “I am sure it will give us more time to get to know each other.” Lily raised an eyebrow and turned around and walked back into the pack house without a word. “I think she’s tired,” Marcus said with a nervous laugh and I forced a smile on

    HarperWe ended up talking late into the night and I was exhausted by the time I got to bed. I wasn’t sure if it was the empty space next to me or if there was so much going on in my mind, but I couldn’t rest. I felt like I was tossing and turning most of the night. When I did get bits of sleep, I dreamed about a red wasteland and a bloody battle. I woke up tangled in my sheets, covered in sweat and feeling worse than I did before going to sleep. Looking at the clock on the bedside table I saw it was only five in the morning. I hadn’t even had a full hour's sleep. I groaned and pulled myself out of bed. I pulled on some shorts, a strappy top and my trainers and decided to go for a run. The morning was a cold one and I could see frost on the grass outside the pack house. It looked pretty and untouched, and kind of magical. I warmed up briefly before setting off into the woods at a slow jog. I made my way through the woods to the south border where the demon bloods seemed to be the thi

    HarperI set off looking for Caroline when I heard screaming coming from the top floor. I sprinted up as quickly as possible towards the sound. I just rounded the corner into the main bedroom hallway when I heard a door slam. Tommy was leaning against the wall opposite his room with a shocked look on his face.“What the hell?” I called, and he turned to face me. “I don’t know,” he said. I could see the worry in his face. “I went to see Louise and to try to get her to come down to the dining room for breakfast when she started screaming at me. Harper, I don’t know what to do with her, or how to help her.” I could hear faint sobbing on the other side of the door, but could also hear quiet talking too. “Is someone in there with her?” I asked and Tommy nodded.“Yeah, the girls we rescued, all of them are in there,” he said. “They slept there last night.” “All of them?” I asked, “Lily as well?” Tommy nodded. I forced a smile on my face and gave him a hug. “I don’t know if I can help,”

    Harper We spent most of the rest of the day with Louise, despite the glares from Lily. We even convinced Louise to let us have more food brought up. I even offered to eat some first, so she knew it was safe to eat. Slowly the other girls relaxed around us and joined in on eating the extra food. I also made sure to tell the girls that their families had been contacted and they were all on their way. “I don’t think that’s wise,” Lily said as I told the girls.“To be reunited with their families?” I asked, “Why the hell not?” I was starting to get pissed off at her constant comments against everything I suggested. Katie laid a hand on my arm and I looked over at her. Both Katie and Louise were giving me a look. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before opening my eyes again and smiling at Lily.“What I mean is,” I said through gritted teeth, “Their families have all been worried sick about them. Surely the girls want to go home.” I noticed each girl looked at Lily first but one by

    HarperI smiled at Caroline, although I was more uncertain now.“You were expecting me?” I asked, and she nodded.“Yes, yes,” she said excitedly. She patted the seat next to her. “Come and sit for a while. Would you like some tea?” She started to get up, but I held my hand out to stop her.“No thank you,” I said. I had eaten and drank enough with Louise. I walked over to the table and sat down in the seat that she had told me too. I could see the cards that she was playing with clearer now. They looked like playing cards, only they had different pictures. They were bright colours with gold on a dark purple background. Caroline smiled as I looked at the cards with interest.“Oracle cards dear,” she said with a smile. “These are known as the weaver deck, and are very powerful.”“Oh,” I said. I wasn’t sure what else to say. “I didn’t know you played with these.” Caroline smiled and turned over a card. “Oh, I work with all sorts of instruments,” she said. She looked at the card she had

    HarperThree days laterI laid in bed with the covers over my head. I had spent the last three days crying. 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
