Silas
As we got closer to the spirit wilds, the entire aura changed. I’m not sure how to explain it, but I felt like I should be on edge and alert. The weather got colder and as we got closer and suddenly the boat hit land.
I look around for Jude and watch as he comes onto shore and shifts back into his human form and he tells me, “Be careful as you journey through here. We’ve never had living people come into the spirit wilds, so there’s no telling how they will react to you.”
I get out of the boat and then help Lux down. She says, “Thank you, Jude, for the advice and helping us on our travels.”He bows as he says, “It is an honor to be of service to you, Princess. I will be back here whenever you are ready to leave.”I take Lux’s hand and we walk into the wilds. It’s interesting seeing the different spirits moving around, and I saw some spirits that seemed to walk around living a normalSilasThis is the first spirit to actually speak to us… and it’s the spitting image of Kai. Honestly, it doesn’t even look that much older than him.Lux is oblivious to this fact as she says, “Yes, we’re looking for Rieka Hale. Could you lead us to her?”His face scrunches up as he looks around and murmurs, “You don’t belong here.”Lux heard him and says, “I know we’re not supposed to be here and we’ll be on our way soon, but I need to find Rieka Hale so if you tell us where she is then we’ll be gone soon.”“And why do you need to see Rieka?” The man’s voice sounds calm. It’s interesting seeing his demeanor after so many spirits fled at the sight of us.Lux answers simply, “She’s my mother.”He nods and a small smile appears as he says, “I know that. The resemblance is uncanny.”So is your resemblan
LuxMy stomach is in knots as we get into the boat.Jude seems anxious as he didn’t want to chat when we got back he just told us it was time to go and rushed into the water so he could shift.Silas helps get me situated in the boat and he puts his arm around me and says, “It was nice getting to see your mom.”I nod, he’s right it was. But my mind is racing and I want to contact Kai and make sure that he’s okay, but I have no way to get in contact with him.Silas breathes out and says, “I’m sure everything is fine, Lux.”I shake my head as I say, “What could she have to be sorry for? I don’t get it!”“Well… I have one thought of what it could be. But let’s wait till we’re further out at sea.”My face scrunches up in confusion and I ask, “What are you hiding from me?”He chuckles nervously before responding, &l
LokiThe darkness overtook me, and I couldn’t even connect with Kai anymore. I wanted to growl, but felt like I was unable to. But then her voice appeared to me and it sounded crystal clear, “Loki? Are you here?”“Kodi?” I call out in a confused tone. She responds, “Yeah, it’s me.”I can only hear her voice and it’s interesting seeing how life is for her each day. This complete darkness is eerie and uncomfortable for me, but for her, it must be one of the most natural things. I ask, “What’s going on?”“Lux and Silas are in the spirit world still, but we discovered something and knew we needed to get in contact with you and Kai so we can warn you about it.”Goddess, we can’t handle something else going wrong. I huff, feeling exasperated as I ask, “What’s going on?”“Lux and Silas have reason to believe that you might be a hybrid.”
Silas It’s quiet as I wait to see if Lux and Kodi can make the connection to Kai. I wish we could be there in person to talk to him about this. I’m sure it’s going to be a hard pill for him to swallow. What I don’t understand is- how is Lux still Alpha King Archer’s biological child while Kai is Leviticus Adams kid? I start to doze until I hear a sharp intake of breath and I look over to see Lux shaking her head as she’s trying to focus and get back to herself. I grab her hand and ask, “Are you okay, Lux?”She nods her head and says, “Yeah, I’m fine. Just weird… Kodi crossed over though.”She stops talking for a moment and has a thoughtful face as she’s listening to whatever Kodi is telling her. Lux says, “Loki said that Kai already knew about the hybrid thing. Some vampires showed up to the pack house saying that they want him to be their ruler because he is Leviticus Adams son and Leviticus was supposed to rule, but he died. And… my dad left after he
LuxI feel like we’ve been in this boat forever. It’s hard not to feel restless when we can’t do much. After Kodi got in contact with Kai I took a nap and when I woke up Silas and I just laid together talking about random things and then we fell into silence.The silence seemed like it lasted a life time. It was a comfortable silence, neither one of us felt the need to speak. But I was anxious to make it to Elysium.I hear splashing and then the boat jostles around and suddenly I hear Jude’s voice, “We’re almost at Elysium.”I breathe out and murmur with relief, “Finally.”He says, “There’s four levels of Elysium. I have no idea where Selene might reside. Once the boat stops I will leave you on your journey. I wish you the best of luck in finding her.”Silas says, “We really appreciate all of your help, Jude. I wish we could make it up to you.”He sounds lik
SilasThe bouncing lights captivated my attention, and I felt a pull towards it and it’s like my legs were not my own as I went off in its direction. My wolf, Jax, was caught up in the magic of it all as well. Then suddenly, I realized Lux wasn’t with me anymore, and my body went cold.I call out her name, “Lux?”No answer. I call for her again, “Lux?”A man’s voice causes me to jump as he states, “You won’t find her like that.”I look around for the voice, but I can’t see anyone and I ask, “Who are you?”“My name is Rion. You don’t need to worry. If your heart's true desire is to find your mate, then you will find her.”My heart's true desire?I ask, “How can you be so sure?”“Elysium has a way of helping people get what their heart truly wants. If you truly want her, then you’ll find her.”“W
LuxMy body went cold at the mention of his name. His scent isn’t here though, but maybe things like that change in the spirit world. But he’s the last person I want to be around. If Rion’s words were true then why would I be in front of Apollo.I try not to stutter as I ask< “Wh…what’s your name?”He chuckles before answering me, “Apollo or Apollon whatever you prefer. I’m the god of prophecy and oracles and music, song, and poetry. Of archery, healing, plague, and disease, and the protection of young!”I chuckle nervously, “Sounds like you’re a bit of an over achiever.”This causes him to laugh heartily and he says, “I suppose you could say that. The thing I’m curious about is why you’re here. People only come to me when they want something. So, Lux, why are you here?”I think over all of the things he’s capable of and then he startles
LuxI walked around feeling confident that I would be able to find Silas sooner rather than later. Apollon gave me some peace about the whole situation and now I’m just ready to move on.We’re close, I can feel it with every fiber of my being.Kodi came up in my head and I question, “You okay, K?”She hums softly and says, “I’m not sure. Something isn’t right. Can you feel what I feel?”I stop walking and listen out for any noises and know that she’s right.Goosebumps have popped up along my arms and I take a deep breath as I continue to walk forward.Kodi states, “I’m going to take over.”I don’t resist as she transforms into our wolf and takes off running as fast as she can. It’s scary not having someone near us that we trust to help nudge us in the right direction. We could easily run head first into anything, but Kodi focuses in on h
Ten years later Lux Life is… good and it’s crazy. That’s honestly the best way I can describe it. Silas and I had Selene and Samson and after having them we thought we would be done. But, life had other plans because five years later we found out we were pregnant with another boy girl twin set. We named them Athena and Ace. Selene and Samson are now 10 while Athena and Ace are now 5. David and Charlotte had one more kid named her Penny. So, Leo is now 11 and Penny is 8. Iris said she would never ever ever have another kid after going through childbirth. So, she and Calvin are very happy having just Griffin. Griffin is now 11 years old just like Leo. Kai and Genevieve have been the busy baby-makers over here. They had Lincoln first got pregnant a year later with a set of twins named Marie and Avery. They were identical twins at birth, but through an unfortunate situation Avery died, but it woke up her vampire side. The only difference between the girls now is that Avery has red ey
LuxIt took a while before I could get out of Silas’s embrace, but I was finally able to call Marinette. I walked out to the balcony as the phone rang and I couldn’t help but smile when I heard her chipper voice, “Lux? How are you!?”I chuckle, “I’m good, Marinette, how are you doing? And how is sweet Marigold?”“We’re great. And she’s so big now, you wouldn’t believe it! How was yours and Silas’s trip?”“It was great. The moon goddess actually gave me might sight back. But we had some discoveries that happened. Um, any chance you could help me figure out if something might be in Leviticus’s journal?”“That’s incredible, Lux. And I’ve read the thing cover to cover multiple times. What do you need to know?”“I need to know about a guy named Abel and if he is good or bad. I also want to know how vampires order was… did they have like a King and Queen?”“No, they didn’t. They respected whoever was the oldest or had the purest line which happened to be Leviticus and his parents. And Abel
LuxGenevieve looks at all of us and then looks back and forth between Kai and me and then says, “You freaked out, didn’t you?”My lips press together as Silas looks at me and questions, “What is she talking about?”Kai says, “Hey, how about the four of us go to my office. We need to discuss this Marinette thing. And Calvin and David, the two of you should go be with your families. We have an early training tomorrow.”Both of the guy’s grumble as they leave and I can’t help but smirk from their reactions. Silas takes my arm and Kai takes Genevieve’s as we all walk to his office. Genevieve walks straight to Kai’s desk and grabs a phone and makes a quick call and Kai starts to ask, “What are you-”Then she started ordering food and he sits down as he says, “Oh!”Genevieve takes a seat and looks directly at me as she asks, “What’s wrong with Kai’s idea?”Silas looks over at me and asks, “What is she talking about, Lux?”I groan and say, “Kai thinks that I should also take the throne… and
LuxI shifted into Kodi and urged her to run as fast as she could. Her paws pounded against the ground and I loved the confidence exuding from her now that she can see where she’s going. She is a little cocky though, she’s pretty confident in her ability to outrun Loki.I can’t believe Kai would even suggest us being co-rulers! I can’t be Luna Queen… it’s not my place. It’s a good thing I was blind because I don’t think I could handle all of the pressure and responsibilities that are tied in with being a Queen!On top of it, look at Kai and Genevieve. They make the whole thing look so effortless. If Silas and I came into the mix I’m sure I’d just mess it up.My sadness seems to fuel Kodi as she runs further away from the waterfall and away from the pack house too. She knew I wanted to be alone and was trying her best not to go somewhere that Loki or Kai would instantly think of.A small part of me wants to talk to Silas, but another part of me doesn’t want to. He’ll just talk about ho
LuxSilas wasn’t surprised by mine and my dad’s conversation and we both agreed that it would be best for us to go home tomorrow and to make this just a single day trip. We needed my dad to see that we’re serious about this. He could have a relationship with me and Kai or he could have a life without us. He doesn’t get to pick and choose.We promised Christopher and Nadia that we would come to visit again after our babies were born and we thanked them for their hospitality before we made our trip home. We were eager to get home. We’ll be having another ultrasound soon and this time we should be able to figure out the gender of the babies.I felt relieved as we drove onto the pack grounds and I looked forward to getting to sleep in our own bed. But as we pulled up to the pack house, I was surprised to see Kai sitting on the front steps by the front door. I braced myself expecting that he is going to be angry with us for going around
KaiI can’t believe that Lux and Silas went around me to Genevieve.I would’ve given them permission. It would’ve been hard to see them go… I keep having a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach that they’re going to leave and not return and… I can’t afford that. I need them here, but Silas keeps avoiding me when I try to bring up the topic of him becoming a Royal Beta again.I don’t understand why. He was raised knowing that he and David would both take the position and he had always seemed excited over it. And now it’s like he doesn’t care about it anymore.Hopefully Lux is able to get our dad to come back so we can resolve things and maybe I could get some answers.Genevieve comes into our room and sighs as she looks at me. She says, “It’s going to be okay.”I nod, I know she’s right. She always is.She says, “Maybe this will help with your dad.
SilasChristopher and Nadia truly were supposed to be the Alpha and Luna of this pack. They handle every matter with such ease and the people LOVE Nadia. It’s not surprising, she’s always been wonderful and due to her omega background, she is more sensitive to the lower ranked members.Christopher is in awe of her and his eyes are always on her if she’s nearby. I notice that Damon has the same look when it comes to Amber, though. But… she seems oblivious to it.I ask, “Hey D, what’s going on with you and Amber?”He seems taken aback by my question and it causes Christopher to laugh as he says, “I told you it was obvious.”Damon looks around the room making sure Amber isn’t near and says, “Man, who told you?”This made both me and Christopher laugh and Damon rolls his eyes and says, “Yeah, yeah, laugh it up you jerks.”Christopher says, “Sorry Damon, you
LuxEvery time I go to a place that I’ve been to before, but it’s the first time for me to actually see it, it feels weird. Like I know the place, but not really.As we pull up to it though, I understand why Silas was drawn to this place. It’s beautiful and quiet and smaller than the Royal Pack and just has a comforting aura.Silas holds my hand and I know he’s trying to silently reassure me. I’m nervous about seeing my dad. I am angry at him for leaving Kai the way that he did, but I’m also excited to see him. It’s the first time I’ll really be able to see him and I can’t help but look forward to that.As we pull up to the pack house, I notice it’s much smaller than the castle that the Royal Pack has, but it’s still a decent size.There are 7 people waiting at the front of the pack house and Silas parks and looks at me and asks, “Are you ready, Lux?”I can’t t
GenevieveThe next month goes by quickly and there’s no hiding anything now. Everyone knows I’m pregnant.All of us girls are thrilled. Between all of our families we are going to have five kids all within 1 year of each other. Kai is going crazy right now. He’s been trying to find a witch or someone that could tell the future that he would trust so that way he can know whether or not me and our child are in any kind of danger.I’ve been confiding in Lux because I’m worried about how stressed-out Kai is. Their dad still hasn’t come back and I know it’s weighing heavily on Kai. There’s a knock on my door and I call out, “Come in!”Lux walks into the room and smiles over at me. I can’t help but smile back at her, she has such a confidence since she got her sight and it’s incredible to see her like this. She says, “I need your opinion slash your permission for something.”
