Meanwhile, Alexi was sitting on a dark, blackened out log trying to communicate with her catatonic looking mother.
"Mom, you are like a light in my darkness, what are you doing in here? I am so glad that we get to go shopping, mostly that you gave me up so I could live. Now we get to enjoy each other, get our hair done together, our nails, you are my everything by the way we need to go shopping. I am uncertain but I maybe pregnant. I need you to help me through that, I need you at home."
Her mom mumbled how she was a worthless mother; she should not have let Alexi go. She should have gone to kill King William herself inside of hiding my daughter. What kind of mother was I?" her mother states barely audible.
"Mother, I am glad you did, I wanted to live, that way you and I can now be here together today. You were not weak, that took strength that only you had. I am so proud to call you my mother."
Alexi's mother looked up, and she put her hands on Alexis' f
There were still questions on who tried to kill them and put these women's souls in Miseries world to suffocate in the grey mist. Cordelia would find out, however both women needed time to recover from what they had been through already. The doctors and the orderlies came, and the Doctors let the women know that they would be there overnight for observation only. Tomorrow if all were well, they could go home, but to rest for the rest of the week. The orderlies returned the Miriam to her room.The Alpha came barreling in and was crying as he thought he had lost his wife to the Goddess of death. His wife was his light in this world, she was not his true mate, but none-the-less she was his chosen mate and he loved her more than his own life. Bending over, he kisses his beautiful wife; she was always beautiful. He has loved her since they were children playing in the sand together. He told her when he was just a pup; he was going to grow up and marry her. He kept his word; she is
Alexi woke up looking hopefully around her room, Nicolas was nowhere to be seen. Her heart was sinking like we weighed it with lead, drowning her without him.Then her lips burned like they were on fire. She started holding her lips, screaming, as her grandmother walked in."Dear, what is wrong?"Alexi calms down," A moment ago my lips were on fire, and it hurt so bad. Now it is gone." Cordelia shook her head, knowing that it was a kiss to someone other than his mate, that is why she felt it as pain. It was a betrayal to the mate bond. She would not let Alexi know until a future date. Nicolas needed to confess all on his own. It was not her grandmother's place to confess to Nicolas.Cordelia mind – linked her son. "Tell the Alpha and his wife I need to meet them in the lobby, and I need you to come and console your daughter, she needs you, while her mate is being an A.. Hole."Her son could not argue with her, he tried many time
Misery stared at the young man yelling at the woman. The woman reflected on how much she wanted him. He could not see her as she hid in the mist. Misery examined his soul and saw his love for another. Miseria wanted that love for herself. That is when Miseria cast a spell on the seeds of doubt. She smiled impishly to herself, Nicolas my love you will be mine. The Gods of vampires were right to bring you into my mist.While lying in the bed in the hotel, Nicholas couldn't figure out why he was having these doubts. Two days ago, he knew he was in love with Alexi. He still is, he thinks. It is like after the Valley of Misery he was no longer his self. Something was not right. Nicolas could not pinpoint what was keeping him here instead of by Alexi's side. He tried to picture Alexi's beautiful face in his mind and sadly to say he could not feel the bond. It was like someone was trying to erase her from his heart, from his soul. He needed to speak to Cordelia maybe something happe
Selene walks over to her sister and puts her hand on her cheek. "I love you my sister, thank you for taking care of my children so well." Cordelia smiled and hugged Selene, "Would you like me to go with you and punch Ambrogio out?"Selene laughed, "No, but thank you, I have to deal with him on my own. " Selene sighed. Then she turned to Alexi and Nicolas. "I am sorry that the petty gods tried to manipulate the outcome. It just means that the Vampires are afraid of you two. I will deal with my mate, Ambrogio." She kissed Alexi on the head, and then she gave Nicolas a hug. "Always fight for her, Nicolas, no matter what? I hope you understand." Nicolas nodded his head, even the spell could not destroy the bond. He needed Alexis's shirt to sleep. He realized it was more than the bond. He wanted to break the spell because he missed Alexi. He was in love with her, and it was more than the bond.Cordelia turned to Alexi and Nicolas, "Come on you two, I am taking
Once they are dressed, Alexi and Nicolas realize they are famished, both walking into a large kitchen with a deck out the back door from the kitchen. They realize they do not have any Omegas, cooks, butlers, or anything. They will have to cook for themselves.Alexi never grew up with all of that, however Nicolas has been spoiled that way all his life. Nicolas is looking around and then looking at Alexi quizzically and asking. "Who is going to cook for us?"She laughs, "Us of course, spoiled rich boy!" Alexi takes eggs out of the refrigerator and tosses them in the air to Nicolas who was not expecting them, as the eggs crashed on his head oozing through his hair and down the front of his face.He grimaces, "hilarious".Alexi turns to the refrigerator and gets more eggs, a mixing bowl, bacon, and bread. Cracking each egg and tossing the shells into the trash, Alexi scrambles the eggs in the bowl, while the iron skillet heats to the correct cooking heat. Ale
Nicolas now having a wand mumbles the words that the other little children say to lift his fork. At first, he could not barely lift the fork off the table, then he asked the little boy next to him for help.The little boy scowls at him and starts whining to Miss Merriweather that Nicolas is trying to cheat by asking him questions. Nicolas spats under his breath, "Tattle tale!"The little boy glares back at Nicolas and raises his hand almost jumping out of his seat. "Ms. Merriweather Nicolas called me a Tattle tale!"Nicolas thought this little boy would not get the best of him, "I did not!" Nicolas says, smirking at the little boy.The little boy glares right back at him, "Did too" then Nicolas "DID NOT" The little boy "DID TOO"Ms. Merriweather sighs looking at Nicolas, "Young man how old are you? Now Jeremy, I can understand, he is only 5 years old." Jeremy does a humph and looks cocky in the background and Nicolas stares daggers at him. Nicolas
Alexi still groggy rubbed her eyes, looking up at Nicolas and Jeremy still having their mouths tape floating in the air. They looked angry, both glaring at her. They had been floating for over an hour now. Alexi had forgotten about them studying and then falling asleep. Alexi rolled her eyes."Good morning, grandmother. Those two have been nonstop arguing, what do you think I should do with them?"Her grandmother laughed, "Well we can make them toads for an entire day." Both glared and crossed their arms over their chest. Alexi shook her head still trying to waken up fully. She sighs, "We all have school today so I will release you both, promise to not talk to one another." They both nodded to Alexi and Alexi let them back down on the ground. And she took off the gags. Cordelia laughs softly under her breath and followed Alexi, her mate, and the young wizard out of the house.Cordelia loved Jeremy was opening to Alexi and Nicolas. Jeremy was a bright Wizard, eve
Nicolas sat there dumbfounded; he had been so annoyed with the boy. Never thinking about what was going on in the boy's life. This helped him now to take a fresh approach, heck he even liked the kid no matter how annoyed he made have seemed. He was going to bargain with the boy. He would have Blaze play fetch if the boy helped him with his magic. This way, he could continue to laugh and play. Nicolas knew when he thought back to how he almost lost his mother to death, his world seemed to crash around him. Nicolas and Blaze both looked over at the pup and regretted being so annoyed.Jeremy came back to their table and handed him a book of spells. Jeremy sat down next to Nicolas. "Jeremy?" Nicolas started talking, "I have a deal, you can play with Blaze if you help me with my magic. I heard you are a genius at it." Jeremy jumped up and down with joy, he opened the magic books and started teaching Nicolas. Nicolas now been able to become more advanced thanks to Jeremy. Nicolas t
My mother excused herself so that she could go find our dad, as she was starting to miss him badly. That mate pull never goes away in a Wolves' life. She kissed each one of us on the head and made her leave, waving to us and blowing us kisses as she left. The others in the chow hall looked at us quizzically for why the Queen would blow an Omega, a Warrior and Nicolas's mate a Kiss. Why would she sit with us? Alexi – I saw all the attention the wolves in the chow hall were giving my brothers and I. Tomorrow night at my wedding and mating ceremonies we (Nicolas and me) are going to let the pack know who we truly are. Will it surprise some when they find out they were bullying their future king? I hate to sound mean, but I was glad Alexander went through that, he had not known or cared before about what they went through. What the lives of ordinary wolves went through, such as inadequate living spaces, being treated cruelly and unfairly by the pack. Without the Omegas, life would not exi
The Archers and I go to the training grounds to perfect our aim, we cannot miss our target. I aim and fire and hit the bullseye every time. Each time I hit the bullseye, I say a name that had died at King William's hands, this is for you my mother, this is for you Nicolas's mother, this is for you my fathers, this is for you…. And so, it continued until I was out of arrows. I thanked the Archers and told them to get a good night's sleep, for come tomorrow we were going to kill King Williams. They nodded and bowed their heads to me and went on their way. I went back to Nicolas’s hospital room and pulled up a bed right next to him. It is hard to sleep without him. I put my arm around him, and I am so grateful that he didn’t die from the wolfsbane, what would I do without him? I whisper in his ear; I am going to go kill King William tomorrow babe; he will hurt no one I love again. I lay my head on his chest to hear his heartbeat and smell his scent to calm me down and g
Alexi - I was wakening from my slumber once the doctor came in. I sat up abruptly making myself alert to hear what the doctor had to say. The doctor took a stool and brought it near Nicolas and I. Holding onto his clipboard jotting down notes, his eyes looked grim as the doctor started to speak.Doctor – "We had tested Nicolas's blood and well it looks like they injected him with wolfsbane. Luckily, it wasn't a large amount, what we need to do now is flush out the wolfsbane. If the whole needle had been injected and he wasn't attended to right away, it would have killed him and his wolf. This was an assassination attempt on your father, Nicolas. Because you intervened your father is still alive. Nicolas, we will need you to stay here for a couple of days, that way we can get the wolfs band flushed out of your system. You are going to be okay, though."Alexi sighed in relief, Nicolas is what her world circled around as she was also his world, his everything. The d
Cordelia – "Jeremy, I am Selene's half-sister, and she is an aunt to your adopted mother Alexi. So, Selene is many things to you. I will let Selene explain as I know she will." I looked sternly at Selene. Selene nodded. "Jeremy, I have known you most of your life and had grown to love you over the years. If you ever need anything, I will always be there for you." Jeremy smiles in his 5-year-old way, I chuckle softly at how cute he is.Selene – There is no better time than the present to see Nicolas and Alexi. I will explain it all to them and in front of Jeremy this time. I head to my home in my realm and then order with magic Nicolas and Alexi to my home. They looked shocked when I had popped them in. I gesture for them to sit down. Jeremy runs up to both Nicolas and Alexi hugging them and crying. My heart went out to them, but that still doesn't mean I am going to let go of Jeremy. Selene – "Everyone please sit, there is tea on the table if y
There will be a ceremony, not so much officially, but he told Alexi about them being Alpha and Luna now. However, they are Alpha and Luna because his father is not doing well mentally. Nicolas continued to talk, "We need to take back the Packhouse, the whole fourth floor, with its own elevator. In order to run the pack, we will live there. They had already been working from offices there. Alexi hugged and kissed him, telling him that this was okay, she is fine with it all.Tomorrow, they'll have to get some pack work done in the morning, and then visit other packs with Alexi's brothers. Dates and missions need to be created, and each pack needs to be assigned its mission. Initially, they will weaken King William's defenses with mini attacks, then they will attack in full force in about two weeks. The reign of tyranny and murder of King William had to end.Nicolas – I have been raking my brain over the coals trying to figure out who I should pick as a beta.
I take Alexi's hand as we head out to have breakfast in her brother Alexander's office. We sit around a small table in there, with both of her brothers and the Omega. The Omega looks scared, but we reassured her we would protect her. We were just going to be in and out as fast as possible. She had to take food to the prisoners in King William Castle, so she was aware of where the dungeons were.After breakfast, Alexander went and got a huge mirror so we could all see ourselves in it. She made the potion to put inside a spray bottle, spraying it on the mirror and then rubbing it in with a soft cloth, until the mirror looked like ripples in a pond. We brought the Omega forward and had her visualize the dungeons and we all held hands as we walked through the mirror. She had gotten us into the dungeons successfully, unfortunately there several guards in our way, they looked shocked and angry.Alexi – I grabbed Alex's hand and told him Wind: We both put our hands out
Nicolas and I walked into our new technical building. It is amazing looking. It has glass windows everywhere overlooking the forest. It is white with a few trees inside and flowers to give that forest feel. This has escalators and elevators. They made the elevators of glass except the doors. The ceiling is high when you walk in. There is a woman who is the customer advocate when people walk in. They must go through her to talk to any of the employees. The building is about 3 stories high. There is soft padded carpeting the color of the forest and white walls. There are paintings of wolves on the walls. That is when I noticed the painting I had done back at high school, the one of KiKi. I can hear KiKi in the background stating you got my crown all wrong. I tell her "Be Quiet". Looking over at Nicolas, "You brought that here?" He shrugged, "I liked it. We first met when you painted that," he continues. I smiled and kissed him on the cheeks, "Didn't know you were so sentimental." I giggl
Alora opened her computer and turned it on. Alora was getting all her files to send to Ares on his soldiers and who did what and their evaluations. Alora during her years met each warrior personally, if they fought for her then she needed to know them. She never liked letting a family know there loved one was killed in war and know nothing about that person. Alora had a profile for each soldier, what they liked, when their birthdays were, if they were mated and had children. She loved her warriors and her warriors loved and respected her.Again, Alora felt a presence in her office, this time it was Kamar that pops in. "Really?" Alora exclaims. "I just wanted you to know I was coming home for good now. I did not mean to pop in.," Kamar puts his hand over his heart. "I am crushed my dear sweet Alora. Are you not happy to see me my love? Seeing as you rarely have anyone ever contact me. I thought you must be in trouble, I had to make certain my love is safe." Alora gets up and w
Alexander walked up to Sara's home; he could hear the crying in there. He had to say goodbye, though. Alexander knocked on the wooden door, and Sara opened it, Alexander saw her tear-stained face and held her in his arms. He lifted her bridal style and sat with her on her sofa. The twins were not there; they were originally sent to Alexi's until Sara's aunt came and picked the twins up. Sara's dad was in the pack hospital, so Sara was home all alone.He petted her hair, telling her how sorry he was and that he would bring King William to justice. "I need to go back to the Castle Sara; I do not want to leave you. I would love it if you came with me. I understand if you say no." Sara sat up looking into Alexander's eyes and sat thinking about leaving or staying. If she stayed, she had no one at home. If she left, she felt like she was accepting a bond that she did not totally feel. Sure, she was extremely attracted to the prince, okay extremely attracted to him. She decided she
