Lux
The 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
Three Months Later.LuxEverything seemed to get back to normal pretty quick. Marinette, Marigold, Chase, Elijah, and Mason all left a couple of days after the battle. After the clean-up was over everything just seemed to become normal.My dad started getting involved with Kai and helping him navigate being the new Alpha King. It's what my dad should have been doing from the start but he was too caught up in his depression from the loss of my mother to notice. My dad along with our previous Royal Beta and Royal Gamma all organized a huge memorial for all of the lives that were lost during the battle and to honor my mother.Each day seems to get a little bit better for my dad. At least he’s hanging out with us again and is getting out of his room, so it’s definitely a step in the right direction.The previous Beta and Gamma Female who were like my aunts have been helping Genevieve lea
SilasI was surprised when Kai offered me the position of a Royal Beta again. But then again, as David and Charlotte just had their first child, they definitely have their hands full. If Lux and I accept the position, then we would be able to help in the meantime and once David and Charlotte come back, we can figure out how to split the duties.A part of me is hesitant because I’m sure it won’t be too much longer before Lux, and I start trying to have a child. But we’ve always been raised knowing that we would be in higher positions, and it would be easier for us to be in a higher up position like this with somebody else. David and I would be able to help each other out whenever things got too hard or too busy and that would be nice.I just need to talk to Lux to see what her thoughts are. But before I could even take a step towards our room, Kai ran off in that direction. He claims it’s because he thought G
GenevieveThe coronation makes everything official.With the way, Charlotte, Iris, and the previous Beta and Gamma Females Olive and Bethany were treating me you would think that it was my wedding day.They snatched me from my room early this morning before Kai woke up saying that it was bad luck for him to see me before the ceremony.I’m dressed in a light shade of pink almost a blush color gown. It has ruching in giant layers all the way down the gown, and they made sure the back was low so that my wings could fully extend out. They pulled my hair up in an elaborate updo and pinned pink flowers in my hair making it look like I was wearing a flower crown.I wonder what Kai looks like and wish that I could be getting ready with him, but I know better than to bring it up.I wonder where Lux is at. I wish she was here to keep me company, I’m closer to her than I am with any of the others and her absen
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.”
