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
GenevieveI take a deep breath. I’m about to walk down this aisle and towards my mate to make a lifelong commitment to his pack and his world. Even though I have been an active part of the community, have been the Luna Queen, and been committed to all of this… it still feels like a big step.I take a shuddery breath as the doors open and music starts as if this was a real wedding ceremony. I scoff at the idea, after this experience, we will never get married. It’s way too much preparing a giant shindig like this.His dad tried, the previous Beta and Gamma couples did as well, but no matter what people were still going to Kai or me for the final approval.My eyes land on Kai, in a black suit with a tie that matches my dress. His ruby red eyes sparkle as they land on me. He smiles brightly and he mind links me saying: You are breathtaking.I can’t help but smile at his compliment, the w
Silas As we walked to Kai’s office I can feel Lux’s nervous energy rolling off of her in large waves. I don’t understand why she’s so nervous. He’s her brother and they’ve always been close, he’s just going to want what’s best for us. I’ll be shocked if he tells us no, I’m not worried at all, but she is. Maybe I should be listening to her instincts more. I’m not sure, the whole thing seems weird and complicated, a lot more complicated than I would’ve thought. She takes a shuddery breath and I try to figure out a way to calm her down, but I don’t know how to make her feel better as we walk into his office. Genevieve smiles at us and says, “Lux, Silas, thanks for joining us! Kai said that you wanted to talk to us.”Kai looks at me skeptically, he looks annoyed and like he’s concerned about whatever we want to talk about. I take a seat and Lux sits beside me and Kai asks, “So, what’s going on? Have you guys made your de
Lux “You don’t have to do this,” a woman’s voice pleads. The other voice scoffs before saying, “You left me no choice.”“You act as if I had a choice in the matter! What you were asking for was too much!” The first woman screams back at her. A sadistic chuckle slips from the other woman’s lips and she responds, “Stop fighting. You know that it’s useless.”I gasp as I jolt up in my bed and take deep breaths, trying to calm myself. Immediately, Silas is sitting up beside me and he rubs my arms as he attempts to comfort me, “It’s okay, Lux, everything’s okay.”I nod as I try to center myself back to reality. These nightmares or… visions, whatever you want to call them, have been plaguing me ever since we left the Royal Pack. We’ve been gone for a month and we’re not any closer to figuring out how to get in touch with Selene than we were when we left! We've gone from Italy to Spain, and now we're in France. We hop around to diff
SilasWe’re on a train headed towards Greece.The constant traveling seems to weigh down both of us because more than anything, we’re ready to find a lead. But I see the mental toll this whole journey is taking on Lux, and it worries me.Her constant nightmares cause her to get little sleep and it’s affecting her in every way, but she doesn’t seem to realize it. Every day that goes by she seems to smile less, she rarely laughs, the circles under her eyes seem to get darker, and when I try to get her to slow down or take a rest, she snaps at me.I’m unsure if it’s her or Kodi that is having such a difficult time. I want to enjoy this time with her. We’re newly mated and this should be some of the most exhilarating times in our lives, but instead it is the most stressed out I’ve ever seen her.I put my arm around her and say, “In about 30 minutes, we’ll be there. Maybe we could go relax at the pack and get settled. We could go out for a date tonight if you’d like.”S
