Reed’s POV

With Nix out of our bedroom, I finally had time to use the bathroom. I was getting desperate when I had to bang on the door. He had been in there for hours.

I really want to encourage him to give Eden a chance. I admit I made a mistake. I made a huge mistake. I never expected to have a second chance mate. Not when she found out I was her mate and went with David, regardless. I didn’t need or want either of them in my life. They deserved each other.

I told no one about her, not even Ethan. He didn’t need to know. I had a chance of a better life when I went to work for the council. Or one at least where I wasn’t the upcoming Alpha’s loser brother, who he frequently knocked about.

I made my way to the dining hall and found Nix. He is sitting there chewing slowly. He has a smile on his face in between bites. “What’s happened?” I asked him. “Nothing, just taking a friend’s advice.” No idea what he is talking. I know I am taking Lottie’s statement this morning, so ea

    Eden’s POV I follow Ara as we drop her son Brandon off at kindergarten. Then we walk, we walk and walk some more. My feet are throbbing. “How much further is it?” I whine at her. “Another mile,” she says. I groaned. “Nobody asked you to come. It would be faster for me to shift and I could run there. But I don’t know how the horses will react to you. Or how your wolf will react to them!” she says, glaring at me. “I know, but I wanted to show Nix that I am not useless.” “Well, you tagged on to the wrong person if you wanted a simple day.” She says. “Brandon has one parent who has to provide for him.” “You were the only person who could withstand my aura.” I said sadly. She doesn’t realize how few friends I have. “But you get support from the kingdom.” I say, trying to make her life sound less awful. “They put a roof over our heads, but I have to provide a service for that. But what about the food in our bellies? Or the clothes on our backs? Do you see me driving a car? No.” S

    Nix’s POV Reed was encouraging me to give the mate bond a chance. I wasn’t sure. When I saw her and she had that blue hair net on, I knew he was right. Suppressing a smile was hard, but I did my best. As I ate my breakfast, I couldn’t get the image out of my mind. I knew she wouldn’t be able to change overnight; she has had a lifetime of being spoiled. But at least she is trying. I told her I was leaving in the morning. It appears she actually listened to me and tried to change before I left. I want to know how she does at the stables. There are only a few jobs to do there. Each one will be hard work. When Reed goes to speak to Lottie, I get the directions to the stables. It’s quite far, but I enjoy the walk. It is beautiful here. So much greenery. When I got there, I saw Eden’s friend, Ara. She is riding a horse with a bow in her hand, shooting at a target. She releases the arrow and actually hits the target. Not dead center, but not far off. I have never seen anyone do t

    Dawson’s POV “Mom, slow down. Everything will be ready for the eclipse. Just have a bit of faith.” “Faith? Faith? Are you serious? We will be in the presence of a goddess and you want me to have faith?” She didn’t even give us a chance to explain what me and Nathan had been making plans all morning. No, she just came barging into our study, making demands. I look at Nathan, who snickers at me. She walks over to him and slaps him around the head. Which makes me snicker. She then walks over to me and slaps me on the head. “If everything is not perfect for her. I will...I will. I don’t know what I will do, but it won’t be pleasant.” I can tell that she is stressed out. She has been on a rampage since she got up this morning, or so the staff have informed me. Do this, do that. I can’t remember the last time I saw her like this. That is how rare it is that she gets this stressed. “Nathan, phone the Wolf Council and tell them what is going on. We need our best to protect the p

    Council Member Charles POV “Is he dead yet?” I asked, staring at Mike, the head of the council’s protection detail. “Not that we know of Charles. We can only assume he is. From what I was told, the wolves were making a meal out of him. We can’t get through the witch’s barrier to check.” “He had better be dead or he could inform someone of our plans. It is too early.” I thought for a moment. “Make sure someone guards the house at all times.” “Yes sir, I will inform Richards to increase the number of wolves patrolling the area.” I have never had any dealings with Edward’s brother. I have never wanted too either. The way Edward had always talked about him made him sound like he was hellbent on revenge. So, when Edward told us he wanted revenge on the Royals for killing his daughter, I knew that would fit in with our agenda. Richard risking his life to exact his revenge is an opportunity not to be missed. Killing her would weaken her mates. That fits in with our plans and tha

    Reed’s POV Why am I not surprised Ethan was in the library? He is a proper book worm, always has been. I love that about my cousin, but I was really looking forward to telling him about Nix’s offer. I could have a place to call home. A place where I could build a life for myself. But Council Member Charles wants me to go to the River Valley Pack and drop my report off. He also wants me to take my time getting there. So that is what I do. On the way there, I pulled over, shifted. Letting Jaden go for a run. We haven’t been on the best of terms since what happened with Caren. We aren't getting along, but he is sad most of the time. A few hours later, when Jaden finally gives me back our body, I carry on driving. I stop off in the human town next to the River Valley Pack. I buy an ice-cream and I sit in a small park in the town center. Just watching the world go by. The trees swaying, the birds are singing and the children laughing. Hearing the children makes me think abou

    Lottie’s POV After answering Reed’s questions, Maddox and I found somewhere to sit and talk. He was still upset about Parker, and I couldn’t stop thinking about Caren. Especially as I was staring at Reed. I now know where she is and I want to get her. What if she got captured as she was going home? “Everyone here has been so nice to me and I know they want me here because of that prophecy they keep talking about.” I told Maddox. “But Lottie, they need two elemental wolves. We could get Caren and look for Parker while we were there?” “I was told by Ember that the house was guarded. That was why we couldn’t go there after they took you. We could ask the King’s for some guards to help us.” I know no one here could stop me if I wanted to leave. But I have also made some real friends during my time here. It would be a shame to throw that away if I left by force. “Lottie, I really want to look for Parker.” Maddox says sadly, repeating himself. “I know you do, love. I know you do

    Nix’s POV I stayed with Eden in the greenhouse after Lottie and Maddox left. She looked so sad. I pulled her in close and held her. I planned on telling her something sweet, something to reassure her. “Eden, just so you know. You stink.” I laugh. “You’re no better.” She responds, laughing with me. “I don’t want you to go. Lottie said it was dangerous. I don’t want you to get hurt.” “Lottie said it would be dangerous. But Caren is a friend of mine, Lottie is a friend of yours. We don’t want either of them getting hurt. Do we?” “No. But.” I put my finger on her lips to keep her from talking. “I am doing what is right.” I look at the ground, thinking. “What are you thinking about?” She asked me. “Well, if we are seen together today, people will question where I am tomorrow. I think it would be better if I stayed hidden for the rest of the day. So that everyone thinks I left with Reed.” She nods her head. “That maybe best.” “It also means I can spend the day hidden awa

    Ember’s POV “Xavier, I’m worried.” I told my mate. I am worried about Lottie’s mom and sister. Last time I was there, wolves that wanted to capture me surrounded the house. It was just after Lottie killed the Council Man. But what he wanted to do to her was horrific. He even confessed to organizing our mom’s murder. He was lucky she made his death quick. I would have made him suffer. “Stop that.” Xavier scolded me. “I can feel your emotions through the bond. We are stronger this time, better prepared. The element of surprise is on our side, since they don’t know we’re coming. We will find them and we will find Saxon as well.” I forgot about the mate bond. That is when I realized I could feel Xavier’s determination to find his brother. River Valley Pack is close to the palace. With the speed we are running at a speed we will be there in no time. As we get near the human town, the stench of wolves is apparent. The others pause as well. Xavier shifts and tells us to do the same s

    Charlie’s POV “What are we going to do, Jacob? How did we end up losing track of so much time? Darcey is going to kill me.” “Don’t worry too much. Darcey will be at home, tucked up in bed. She won’t even notice you were gone.” Is he serious? Darcey will know. We’re trying for a baby, and she is demanding sex every night. Not just a quick session either! The past week she has been hornier than ever, and I have been running on fumes. She will know I’m not there. I knew it was a mistake. Letting our wolves go for a run before the blue moon. But Jacob insisted. He convinced me I had been stressed lately. That I needed to let off some steam. Now I was going to be in a bucket full of crap. Thanks Jacob, I think to myself. Our wolves took over, blocking us out. They only let us have our bodies back because they became dormant. Now here we are standing here bollock naked in the middle of nowhere, miles from home. “It’s going to take ages to get back.” “It’s going to take you ages.

    Stephanie’s POV “Steff. How are you feeling?” A voice asked me. “Horrible. My head hurts so much.” Am I speaking to someone in my mind? Whoever it is laughing at me. Did I actually die? I can’t have died. I would be back in the wolf realm. From the smells in this place, I am definitely not there. In fact, one smell is so very good, like delicious. I can’t put my finger on it, but it is mouth watering. “That’s our mate.” The voice says again. “I don’t have a mate. I don’t have a wolf.” “You do now. Selene sent me to you.” I slowly figured out that’s who I was talking to me. “There’s so much you need to know, Steff. Or is it Annie or Stephanie?” “No, no, no.” I’m so confused. “What I need to know is which wolf Selene sent me?” Whoever she is shakes herself and stands proud. She then pounds her feet. How do I know what she is doing? “Selene sent me to you. She said, I am to look after you. Ensure you get life-long happiness and joy. The love you deserve.” “Fine,

    Hecate’s POV “An opportunity has risen. You’re the perfect choice for the role.” I tell the couple that have been living an isolated life. They both look at me. “Selene needs to give a wolf less soul, the powers of the blue moon goddess. Only someone who is willing can accept the powers. It would mean you would have to live in the wolf realm. With him forever.” I said, gesturing towards her mate. “I can live here with him forever.” She responds. “You can live there forever and oversee your children and grandchildren. You can be with their wolves for all eternity.” I now have the attention of them both. “Can I visit them?” She asks curiously. “Occasionally,” I tell her. I know Selene will restrict visits, especially after Steff burned through her last body so fast. “I also want to negotiate with Selene about you overseeing any hybrids. They need support and guidance. Given your experience in this field, I thought it would be fitting.” She looks at me, then at the wolf at her side.

    Tripp’s POV “You are a goddam idiot. You just walked away from her. I thought you said you wouldn’t be rejecting her, no matter what?” I said snappily to Elliot. Still not quite believing he walked away from our mate. He walked away and shifted. “I won’t be rejecting her. It’s just a lot to take in. I needed to process everything she told me. She has lived so many lives, knows everything about us. Not to mention she is in our mate’s body. That’s just weird.” “You couldn’t have told her that?” I roared at him angrily. I have been Elliot’s wolf for a long time and that by far is the stupidest thing he has ever done. “Steff’s body was dying because of her frequent visits to earth, to save your family. Annie’s soul was gone, her body was dying. Why can’t she have a life? She has helped so many over the years and is a good friend to all of us wolves.” I said now, trying to reason with the fool. “Do you know her?” Elliot asked me. “Yes. She lives in the wolf realm most of the time with

    Elliot’s POV After my graduation, Dad decided to stop at Blackwood farm on his way home to the palace. Dad wanted to visit his mom’s grave. During my studies, I visited Blackwood farm many times. It was so quiet and away from the busyness of the school. It was a great place to study and Tripp, my wolf, loved being surrounded by nature. Dad visited whenever he came to see me. But he always got upset. This will be the last time he will visit Blackwood Farm for quite a while. I expect him to be worse today. I drove back in the early hours of the morning. I know Elizabeth and I have agreed I will start on Monday. But I am so excited. She is looking forward to some time off. My great aunt Elizabeth has been a great mentor since I started my training. I know my grandma has been as well, but she doesn’t practice anymore. Even though I am a few days early, she hands me my white coat. It feels so official putting it on. I can’t stop smiling as she gives me the tour o

    Stephanie’s POV “Come on Stephanie. We’re going to be late.” Charlie calls out to me. I know he wants to get to work early today. But, of course, on the day I am supposed to be ready early. Everything goes wrong and I am running late. Darcey gave Charlie a chance. I am thrilled she did. Knowing what he overcame puts my heart at rest that they will take care of each other forever. Since then, Charlie has become a valued member of the kingdom. Proving to Darcey and everyone else that he is a worthy mate for her. She made him work for it, though. Part of the agreement between them was that he didn’t join the royal guard. He agreed not only because Darcey asked him not to, but because he knew Addie and Avery would make his life hell. They still hold a grudge because of his actions and the emotional suffering they caused her. Instead, Charlie got a job teaching the kids in the kingdom’s school. He also organizes regular camping trips for older children and aids with a program to

    Steff’s POV I look at both of Annie’s parents. They look lost. “Will you keep her name?” “I would prefer to keep my own name.” Her mom looked like she was about to cry again. “How about a compromise? Combine the two. How does Stephanie sound?” She nods her head, composing herself. “Why is Hecate coming?” Annie’s father asks. “Annie’s body will need to be strengthened to house my soul. It won’t hurt Annie. I assure you.” Her father’s body seemed to sag with relief. “After the soul transfer. I will stay for a while. Let you say really say goodbye to her.” I don’t think they know what to say to that. But they will when the time comes. “No one is to know about this. It has never happened in the past.” I told them both. Just before Hecate appeared. Her appearance can be alarming if you’re not used to seeing her. Hecate has dark hair and dark eyes. For supernatural occasions, which this is, Hecate wears dark clothes and a spiked headpiece. She looks like an evi

    Darcey’s POV When I woke up, all I wanted to do was find Charlie. The images in the lake still broke my heart. But what I needed more than anything was a drink. Elizabeth had been hydrating my body with some intravenous fluids, but my throat was as dry as a desert. Then people started fussing over me. “Take it easy was Caren’s advice.” Esme assured Caren I would. Then she promised to stay by my side until I made a full recovery. “Ayla, you had better make this a swift recovery.” I told her. Although I love my sister, spending a lot of time with her could be challenging. In fact, I am not sure we would be friends if we weren’t sisters. We are that different. But we are always there for one another. I know Charlie isn’t going anywhere. Nat visited me, telling me she had confined him and Jacob to a suite on the first floor. “You make it sound like he is a prisoner.” Esme says curiously to her. “He saved her life.” “I know,” Nat says sweetly. “When Darcey is feeling bet

    Goddess Selene’s POV “You said we had more time.” Annie’s mom questions me. I want to remind her I am a goddess. But I really want Steff to have Annie’s body. “You do. I can now answer your questions.” I explained to Annie’s parents. Steff steps forward. “I am the blue moon goddess. I take care of the wolves in Selene’s realm during the blue moon and the eclipse. Your wolves know me well. The rest of the time, I am Selene’s companion. In my youth, my physical body hurt so badly it died. I now require a host body, a vessel to house my soul. Selene says you are considering letting me use your daughter’s body?” “Yes,” Annie’s father says proudly. “It would be an honor.” “I just want to know she will be cared for.” Her mom cried. “I have taken care of many bodies over my long life. Your daughter will be no different.” Her mom cries again but nods her head, implying her consent. “Steff, will you remain with them until Hecate arrives? I have business elsewh
