Elly

“I’m so screwed,” Elly said to herself. Looking down at Darren with his face pressed against the floor and his ass in the air, she felt a strange mix of relief and dread. She pulled the bag out from under her pillow and frowned. In her panic, she used half the bag on him. whatever doubts she still had she had to push aside. If she were still there once Darren woke up she would be dead meat.

She pulled a bag out from under her bed and shoved a handful of clothes along with her grimoire in it. She went to her bedroom door and pressed her ear against it. She wasn’t sure how long she was asleep or if anyone else was still awake. Elly held her breath as she strained to hear beyond the thin wooden door.

After a few moments, she finally took a deep breath. Nausea rolled over her making it hard to move. With one last glance at the idiot on the floor, she forced herself to crack the door open and peak out. Everything was completely dark. Faint traces of moonlight filtered in from the w

    Rowan Once the lust-fueled fog cleared from his mind Rowan was disgusted. His wolf receded in his mind leaving Rowan to get them out of the hole they just dug themselves into. Lena wiped her mouth and climbed to her feet. Standing on her toes she wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to kiss his lips. Rowan turned his head. “What’s wrong?” Her eyes grew wide. “Did I do something wrong?” Rowan clamped his jaw shut. Being a witch was her only crime but it was one he couldn’t look past. “I told you my wolf is out of control right now. Being with me is a death wish.” Eris snarled at him. It was technically true. “Is it the mate thing? What if I can help?” Rowan stiffened at her words? It had to be a lie. Either way, he had to focus. His pack came first. Taking a deep breath he wrapped his hands around her waist. “How can I worry about a mate when my pack is tearing itself apart. If it’s a special moon your coven can do something to help right?” She stiffened in his arms. The sm

    Lillie The packhouse was full of kids from the pack that had not gotten their wolves yet. Realizing things were getting out of control once the sun started to set their parents brought them to the one place they knew they would be safe. Lillie had to call in warriors to help out despite all of them being spread thin already. A fact that Rowan would know if he had bothered to answer his phone or even respond to the mind links. His father never would have been so- Lillie cuts off the thought. That wasn’t fair. Her son didn’t need to be compared to a ghost. Least of all a ghost that made his fair share of mistakes during his lifetime. She took a deep breath and looked at the guilty look on her son’s face. “Rowan. You’ve got to do better than this.” Before she could get going Rowan held up his hands. “I don’t need a lecture right now, mom.” he shook his head but his mother’s growl silenced him. “I think you do. I know Eris is getting restless without a mate. I know it’s difficult to co

    Elly “I’m not sure how you were raised but running around the woods bleeding is not a good idea.” Elly froze when she recognized the voice. Cecily stepped out of the shadows eyeing the injured hand Elly held to her body. Her other hand went toward the bag of powder only to remember she used the last of it on Rebekah. Noticing the movement Cecily raised her hands in surrender and stopped moving. “Hey. Sorry, didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I think we have you to thank for our freedom.” Panic rose in Elly’s chest and she started looking for an escape route. Everywhere she looked she could see the glimmer of wards. How did they have the time or power to do all of this? More importantly, did Cecily know that power came from her? “No, no! It wasn’t me. I couldn’t get you out I don’t have power.” She tried to back away from her but Cecily lunged forward and grabbed her arm stopping her from taking another step. “Careful,” she pointed to the ground. Elly nearly stepped on a ward. “

    Elly Waking up, Elly went into full panic. She did know where she was but one thing was certain, she was in a bed that wasn’t hers. It was an actual full-sized bed that didn’t require her to curl into a little ball to fit into. Her hands patted down her body. A sigh of relief escaped her as she confirmed her clothes were still securely in place. She looked around the dim room and could only make out the rough wooden walls. They reminded her of when the Hughes were squatting at an abandoned summer camp. Elly moved to get off the bed when a series of knocks sounded on the door. She flew backward on the bed pulling her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. The pain in her hand brought back the memories of her escape. She frowned realizing that she was still bleeding. The door swung open not giving her enough time to properly worry about it. “Hey you. It’s me.” Cecily poked her head in and waited a second. Elly stared at her not sure why she didn’t just walk into the room

    Rowan Leaving his territory was a battle Rowan didn’t expect. After what his mother told him he wanted to rage. He wanted nothing more than to let Eris loose and to wreak havoc on every single witch they could find. It took a lot of screaming and tears but Rowan finally got on the road heading toward the Eternal Flame Coven. He couldn’t understand why his mother would drop such a bombshell on him. To make matters worse he couldn’t bring his beta with him. As important as it was to check out this coven, dealing with the pack’s tainted water crisis was more important. Thankfully his mother was handling his part of the plan. He knew it would he could trust them with this. The witch situation, not so much. Rowan’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel. He could still see the tears on his mother’s face as she poured her heart out finally telling him their family secrets. It was the first time he had ever seen her nervous. Her hands twisted the hem of her shirt as she ref

    Elly A mixture of excitement, confusion, and disappointment washed over Elly. The short brown hair and the pale skin melted away leaving her staring at a completely unrecognizable face. The big round eyes, full lips, and long curly hair didn’t look familiar to her at all. She hoped that when she saw her true face she would know without a doubt. Only, here she was and her reflection might as well still be a stranger. Not to mention that the spell didn’t touch her eyes. The color hadn’t returned. They were still giant pools of blackness. A glamour underneath a glamour? The one silver lining she could think of was that if she didn’t recognize herself, The Hughes family probably wouldn’t either. Her heart raced with excitement but she reminded herself not to get her hopes up. It was dangerous to get too excited. Besides, the glamour was her main protection. It kept her hidden from the other things that were looking for her. She started the shower giving it time to warm up. Steam started

    Elly Holding her grimoire out in front of him, he stared down at Elly. She couldn’t read the expression on his face but his aura was all over the place. It was like he had two auras in one. Both of them fighting for dominance. “Are you sure you’re not a witch?” He asked again. This time his tone was unmistakable. She pushed herself up in the bed, suddenly aware of how naked she was. “No. I mean I’m not. I can’t channel power the way they do.” She tried to explain but the more that came out the more confusing it sounded. That extra glass of wine was a huge mistake. He slipped off the bed and stared at the book in his hands. “Elly, are you okay?” Cecily knocked on the door as she poked her head inside. Her eyes locked with the naked man standing in front of her and dropped down to the floor and then back up. The feeling of wanting to crawl into a hole was overwhelming. Elly snatched the blanket off the bed and pulled it over herself. “Rowan. I see you’ve met our dear Elly. She is

    Rowan Every emotion was visible on Elly’s face. Everything from the pain of remembering losing her parents to the rage at the realization she just slept with the child of their killers. They all watched as she pushed her chair away from the table and ran out of the kitchen. Eris tried pressing forward, triggered by the girl. Rowan took a few calming breaths. Some things still didn’t make sense to him. “I didn’t come here to listen to you slander my family. I came here for answers about that girl.” He jabbed his finger in the direction Elly ran off in. Keeping his wolf in check was almost impossible when he was just as mad. He cleared his throat pulling Cecily’s attention from the direction Elly went. She sighed at him and motioned for Alex to go after her. “I’ve got some things to take care of as well.” Austin stood up and kissed Cecily on the forehead. He grabbed all the empty plates and put them in the sink before walking out of the kitchen with his daughter. Rowan knew he needed

    Amber“What if he’s right?” Her father’s low calm voice asked.“I’m counting on him to be. She needs to go to her mates if the plan is going to work.” Her mother’s voice was calm as well. Too calm.“Sessy…” her father warned.“Oh stop. It’s a gamble sure. But this is what she was born to do. We just need to do our part. To do that, Elly needs to go to her mates.” Ice flooded Amber’s veins when her parents’ words. Her feet continued to carry her forward until she was standing in front of her parents. Their conversation died down when they noticed her and they each turned their smiling faces toward her.“Hey hon, are you not feeling well? You look pale.” Her mother got up and touched her palms to Amber’s forehead and cheeks. Amber grabbed her by the wrists and lowered her hands away from her. The struggle in her mind between telling her parents about her vision and calling them out for betraying her cousin had her speechless.“Maybe you should go lay back down.” Her father moved from th

    AmberAfter everything that happened Amber’s parents treated her like she was made of glass. It was a non stop rotation of her parents and Luke hovering over her while she was in bed. There were even other members of the coven that popped in to check on her. It was heartwarming but unnecessary. She was fine, they had some of the best healers in the country.Despite all the rest and healing Amber she still felt worse than she had in her entire life. Seeing what happened to her cousin nearly broke her. Ellie felt more like a sister than a cousin. Their connection was instant and Amber wanted to protect it at all costs. Part of her even resented her parents for not finding her sooner. She replayed everything in her mind and realized there had to be more to it. There was no way someone as special as Ellie was just born to die. She needed to speak with her parents about it as soon as possible. Or at least she would if it weren’t for Luke. When he was near her it made her mind feel clouded,

    LukeThe murderous gleam in his best friend’s eye was sobering. Seeing the blood of his pack mate dripping from his alpha’s mouth was terrifying. Eris was always a strong-willed wolf. It was a sign of truly strong alpha that their wolf had a mind of their own but the human counterpart could remained in control. It was madness for Luke to challenge him in the first place. Unsure if it was his rapidly approaching death or if whatever was clouding his mind had passed but Luke truly regretted the challenge. More than that he was confused by it. Even his wolf, Solis, was confused. They loved their alpha. He could tell them to jump off a cliff and Luke would happily oblige.“Alpha Rowan, please.” He croaked. The damage to his neck was substantial and healing slowly. The only thing that healed slower than an alpha bite was a wound made with silver. It was rare for him to use official titles with Rowan but he was desperate. “We need to go. There are vampires right there!” The chances of thes

    Elly It was unclear if the injection of ice into Elly’s veins was from the clap of thunder that she felt in her bones more than she heard or the ear-shattering growl that somehow managed to be louder and more jarring. Her entire body locked up but she had to look. She needed to see. The massive white wolf that was once a welcome sight seemed off. Even from the distance they were at she could see its majestic fur was coated in blood and mud. It snapped and lunged at other wolves. This was a new fork in her path. Originally, she planned on going with the vampires to get away from her mates. “Planned” was a generous description. Elly was keenly aware that trusting vampires was more insane than trusting werewolves or other witches. The throbbing pain in her stomach was a good reminder that so far the vampires were the best option she had. Even now, with Rowan a scream away. If he hated her before he would despise her now that she was standing with a group of vampires. “How did we run i

    “You better be worth the trouble.” Light danced in the vampire’s black eyes as he looked hungrily at Elly. She gulped back her panic not daring to ask what vampires wanted with her. The presence of one of her mates was drawing closer. Her eyes darted to the side where Dale was coming closer to her hiding place.The smile widened revealing the lethal glint of the razor-sharp teeth that were hidden beneath his full lips. He leaned in close to her exposed neck. Elly gulped back her fear.“I am.” Her voice was barely audible. It wasn’t a sentence she truly believed. The only thing that mattered what that everyone else seemed to believe it. The smile froze on the vampire’s face. “I am.” although she forced her voice out stronger, it was barely more than a whisper. He leaned closer and a splash of light fell across his chiseled face. His cold black eyes searched her face as she continued to look between him and her still-approaching mate.All she needed to do was call out and she would be r

    Things escalated very quickly. Rain poured over them obscuring the light from the moon. There was no way the challenge could wait until they were back at the pack to do things right and from the look of the people around them, there would be more than one challenge. Just don’t kill them, Eris. Rowan told his wolf before receding to the back of his mind and giving him full control. By the end of his sentence, Lucas was already shifted and Solis was upfront and snarling. Rowan expected the fight of his life. He and Lucas had been training together their entire lives. No one knew his strengths and weaknesses better than his best friend.That’s exactly why Eris didn’t bother holding back. The second Lucas shifted and lunged for Rowan he easily dodged the attack and rounded on him. His attacks were relentless, grabbing him by the hind leg and slamming him into everything from the surrounding trees to the ground before slinging him toward the lake. He skipped across the water as easily as

    RowanIt was getting late. Well, later. The full moon loomed over them making it hard to tell what time it was. Its fullness was a constant reminder that time was running out for Rowan to figure out how to save his pack. The thought that he had already failed so many of them, especially his mother, was what was keeping him from sleeping.Things were spiraling out of control and Rowan couldn’t figure out why. His mother had been training him to be Alpha his entire life. When his father died he had taken the mantle at such a young age. Strategizing was one of his strengths. He had to be strategic to avoid being challenged before he and his wolf fully were mature. Now, it’s as if he had never come up with a plan a day in his life. As the moon grew fuller his time to come up with something was running out and it did nothing to help him. Even Eris was completely silent. He was more than just the voice in Rowan’s head. He was his conscience and guide. They ran the pack together. Partners.

    Elly“Another ward candle went out!” Rebekah came crashing in the door making Elly scream.“Listen…they can track us too. The three of us can’t hide together. Not with how powerful Elly already is…” It was clear he had a speech prepared, something he had been thinking about for a long time. It didn’t matter. Liv wasn’t hearing it. She pushed her palm against his mouth.“No. No. I’m not leaving my child. Ever. They’ll have to kill me first.” He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her close.“Give me another option Liv. I won’t lose you two. I can’t.” His voice broke. There was an unimaginable hell on its way to their door step and he was powerless to protect his family. Rebekah cleared her throat.“If the problem is her power. Then it’s a problem you already know how to solve.” Liv choked on her tears. “What is she talking about.” Anthony held her back at arm’s length in an attempt to get a better look at her face. Elly held up one of her rubber duckies with a hole in the beak and squ

    Elly“That must have been really painful.” A deep gentle voice cooed in Elly’s ear as strong hands lifted her from the ground. “We told you not to attempt this without us. You both could have seriously gotten hurt!.” Elly wiped at the tears in her eyes. Her sniffles drew in the thick smell of smoke. Was something burning? She blinked her irritated eyes at the bright kitchen. Darren was still in his mother’s arms bawling his eyes out as if he were the one that just had his powers siphoned.“What do you mean, Anthony? Someone did get hurt. My boy! His connection is torn worse than before thanks to your little princess!” Rebekah spits the words at them as she cradled her son tighter to her chest. His round face was cherry red from either the crying, the pressure of his mother’s grip, or both.“I think we both know that any fault for your son’s current condition does not lie with my three year old. Perhaps you should take your boy and calm him down while my wife and I take care of things
