Lux
It made me sad how easy it was to find my father.He was back in his room, although I can tell it’s been picked up because I’m not tripping over everything. I call out for him, “Dad?”
“Lux?” He responds and I hear him come out of one of the doors so I know he was either in the bathroom or in his closet. I hear his sharp intake of breath before he says, “Marinette Sinclair.”Marinette sounds confused as she asks, “You know who I am?”He’s quiet for a moment then says, “I knew your father. My mate was one of his best friends.”“She was?” I can hear the shock in Marinette’s voice as my dad says, “Yeah, she was. They were very close… a little too close in my opinion.”I smirk softly from his comment and Marinette asks, “Can you help me? I want to learn more about my history and what it means for me to bSilasBy the time I get done training with Kai and I get done taking a shower, Lux is sitting in our room. She sits on the bed as she waits for me to speak. I sigh and ask, “How are you doing, sunshine?”She asks in a soft voice, just a smidge louder than a whisper, “Are you still mad at me?”I look at her and watch as she lifts her hand up to wipe her face. Guilt rushes through me as I realize how much I must’ve upset her.I wrap a towel around my waist before I walk over to her and touch her face and move it so she’s looking up at me. Immediately, I’m captivated by her eyes, and I bring my hand up and rub her cheek as I also wipe away her tears. I say, “No, I’m not mad, Lux. I don’t understand why you went to go see them. But… I trust in you. I just want to make sure you’re safe. You understand that, right?”She nods her head and gives a halfhearted sm
Lux The days passed by quickly.The packhouse was full and everyone was constantly around each other. Just socializing and enjoying things being normal before the battle comes.Charlotte and Iris will oversee the bunker situation which will have all the other women, children, and elderly. Grandma Winnie will take care of Marigold while Marinette is absent.Marinette and I are both to stay on the sidelines. We don’t know when we’ll be needed, and Kai won’t let us be on the front lines in case things get bad.Genevieve plans to stay in her small form so that she can fly around easily. She is going to stay hidden in the shadows and fly to us when or if they need us.Calvin, David, Silas, and Kai all seem oddly at peace today. They’ve been training every day along with Mason, Elijah, and Chase. Chase and Marinette still seem to be strained meanwhile Mason and Elijah seem attached at the hip.Today
LuxThe sound of thunder wakes me up. I touch the side of the bed and notice Silas’s side is cold. He must’ve left me a while ago.As I sit up my eyebrows furrow, why would he leave without saying goodbye? Especially when we know how dangerous this battle may be.I mind link him: Silas?He doesn’t respond and it causes the hair on the back of my neck to stand up. I try the link again and say: It's fine if you're busy. Just let me know you're still okay.No response and I groan as my stomach twists in knots. This isn't normal for Silas. I get out of my bed and slip on a pair of shoes before leaving my room. As I enter the hallway, I listen out for anything. The sound of someone else’s heartbeat or their footsteps.I breathe out, feeling uneasy as I hear nothing.The women must be in the bunker with the children and elderly, the warriors must be fighting, Mar
SilasI tackle Kai to the ground and listen as what I thought was the grenade went off. I kept waiting for the shrapnel to hit me or for the heat to singe my fur, but nothing happens.Instead, the putrid smell of wolfsbane fills the air and it stings my skin and eyes as it covers the ground. I hear Kai curse through the mind link before sending out a mass mind link telling everyone what’s going on so that they can clear out and get away from the field.I mind link Kai: Make sure no one goes to the packhouse. That’s what they’re trying to do is corner us. We can’t get cornered, if we do then we're fighting a losing battle.I look over at his wolf and I can tell that Kai is now the one in charge and he looks… scared. I look back towards the border and notice the hunters hiding behind trees and bushes, only peeking out to make their shots, they’re allowing the rogue
LuxMarinette grabs my hand, and I can tell she’s leading us out of the house. I say, “Hang on.”She stops walking as she turns towards me and asks, “What’s wrong?”I sigh, “Apollo did something to me… I don’t know what, but I haven’t been able to get in touch with Silas or Kai through the mind link and I can’t shift.”“What should we do?” She questions and I bite my lower lip. That’s a good question, I don’t know what we should do.I don’t know what direction everyone is at, and I don’t know how to get Kodi to come back.I breathe out, “I guess we should just go ahead and go. We’ll just have to walk since Kodi isn’t coming out.”Marinette tries to cheer me up, “It’s okay, I don’t have a wolf either… at least not yet. We’ll take as long as we need.&rd
SilasThe fact that I couldn’t get in touch with Lux is concerning me. I keep trying, but the link isn’t there and it makes me scared.I ran as fast as I could back to the packhouse with Kai and Genevieve right on my heels. As the rain continues and we’ve been fighting for a while we know everyone will start feeling winded.We can’t afford to lose.It’s getting hard to see through this thick coat of rain and I have to skid to a stop when I see someone in front of me. Even with skidding I still bumped into them, knocking them over.Relief floods through me as I see Lux sit up and she lets out a small laugh as she says, “It’s nice to see you too, Silas.”Jax gets so excited that he starts licking all over her face making her giggle. She holds each side of his face and rubs it before holding him in place and says, “Hey, you don’t ever leave me going into
Lux Kodi surprised me when she showed up. I honestly wondered if she was gone forever. Even though Kai reassured me that she was still there, I wasn't so sure. I've never felt so lonely in my own head before. I talk to her through our bond, “I can’t believe you’re back.”She growls back, “I can’t believe they don’t have faith in us.”She's angry with Silas and his wolf, Jax and she's angry with Kai and his wolf, Loki. Loki, Jax, and Kodi have some indescribable bond and although she can't remember all of their past lives- she's always been close to them. The fact that they doubted her as well caused her a lot of hurt. I don't blame her for feeling this way, I feel it too. Her anger fuels her as she runs as fast as she can to the battle. As we get closer to the battle scene, I smell the strong scent of wolfsbane, blood, and the stench of rogues. Kodi slows her steps as she tries to figure out which way for us to go. Kai’s
Kai I can’t believe that actually worked. I knew we would need Kodi present for this battle to end. Lux didn’t know, but I had spoken with Stefan. He pledged himself to me and asked me to use my Alpha tone on him to prove he was on our side. Lux had been right the whole time, he is on our side. He was more loyal to her than he was to Stefan. He explained even though he had been a part of the idea to assassinate me and he originally was evil, his mate talked some sense into him. She is his light and helps lead him to his good decisions and he says without her he is lost. That's one of the many reasons he's so desperate to find out where she is and what Apollo might've done to her. But the reason I needed Lux to shift is that he said that in his vision that Lux was in her wolf form. When I learned she couldn’t shift, that Kodi wasn’t responding, and we couldn’t form a mind link I knew that something was terribly w
