Mia's povI stayed by her side unmoving, even when Ryan came with coffee, telling me he can watch her while I rest. I just couldn't leave her, not when she was hurt because of me. How did I even do that? Was my magic really unstable? If so, then it was dangerous. Not just for Josy but for everyone around me, the entire coven. The pack wouldn't be safe with me there. I really needed to get my shit together. "Please wake up soon" I said, guilt washing over me in waves, I needed her to wake up so I could tell her just how sorry I am. I should have listened to her instead of letting my selfish desires cloud my mind. "She'll be okay, she just needs to rest" Violet said and I had to find a little comfort in that. I had almost shit myself when the healer said she'd also suffered a head injury causing a concussion but she was able to heal it and all that was left was for her to sleep it all off. "You're going to drop off of that chair or give yourself back ache if you don't move from ther
Killian's pov"I don't know who you are but coming here with rogues was a bad idea" she said, making my smile broaden. "Coming here was a great idea, I've been looking for you Mia" I said, watching different emotions swim in her eyes as I confirmed that I indeed knew her. We were close once, when we were children and I was quite protective of her. Funny how I was going to be the one to kill her."I only want you, the others, I'll let my mother decide what to do with them. So, you either surrender yourself or I kill you along with everyone here" I said, deciding to play a little before ending every miserable soul here . "How do you plan on killing me? you're outnumbered" she said but quickly grew unsettled when my smile turned into a smirk. "Outnumbered, yes but let's not fool ourselves here cousin, none of these people are warriors and are definitely not a match for my friends" I said spreading my arms out, signalling my friends to show themselves. I saw the colour drain from her
Trevor's povMy heart raced as I tore through the forest, the bond growing stronger and stronger the further I went in the direction the blast came from. "Faster, move faster now!" Drew growled and I complied without question. I needed to get to her, I needed to find her. Night had come fast and I could feel myself get anxious. The need to find her doubling by the minute. "Trevor! Slow down or we'll lose you!" uncle James linked, making me aware of how fast I was running. I could sense them about a mile back but I couldn't stop, it's like the bond was pulling me, and the closer I got, the stronger the pull was. The trees started getting thicker, harder to maneuver around but I still pushed through, I just had to keep going. My heart skipped a beat and all my senses went haywire, telling me to go back. A fear I'd never known spread across my body and it started to feel like someone was watching me. I pushed past my need to find Mia and came to a stop, an eerie silence surrounding
Serena's povAshes, that's all that was left of my son, ashes. The last of my mate, was nothing but ashes, my boy. They took him from me."How did this even happen?" I asked one of the two people that had returned without a single scratch. Killian had Alpha rogues specially engineered to withstand any magical attacks. It makes no sense that a group of weak witches were able to kill every single rogue and my son!"I don't know what even happened out there, one minute we had the upper hand and then the next thing these wolves appeared and started killing all the rogues, it happened so fast" Roman explained and all I could do was grip the urn closer to my chest. "What wolves?!" I yelled, standing from my throne. Who would do this? Who is even strong enough to kill my rogues and boy? It can't be normal wolves. "It looked like they were from Mia's pack" he said, reeking of fear. Those bastards, they took him from me. As if killing him wasn't enough, they had to burn him too.All that wa
Trevor's povIt's been two whole days since I almost lost her, two whole days since she's been asleep and there's literally no sign of her waking up. Mom has come to check up on her about every few hours to make sure she's recovering well and always assures me that she's fine, just resting. I want to believe it, I truly do, but seeing her laying on my bed not moving makes me want to break something.She may look like she's peacefully sleeping but knowing that she almost died makes it hard to believe that she really is just resting. "Still no response from Violet?" I asked for like the millionth time and Drew just whined, shaking his head no. One thing I'm grateful for, is that he hasn't gotten tired of my constant questioning, maybe because he's just as worried as I am and seeing her like that is like a slow poison eating us up. We want her to wake so bad. A knock on the door pulled me back to reality and for a second, my eyes left her to look at my closed bedroom door, trying to
Mia's povTrevor held me as I cried my heart out. I had never been so terrified and so relieved ever in my life. It felt like a dream, so unreal. Is this what the brain does when you're dying? Or am I really in my mate's arms?How is that even possible? The last thing I remember was feeling myself go, feeling Violet fade from me. I was dying, and I guess the question is, am I dead? "Violet?" I called out to my wolf, the last thing I remember was not feeling her at all, her presence gone from my mind. "I'm here, just weak but here" she responded after a few moments of silence. She was so weak I could barely feel her but I was glad to still have her."So, we're alive?" I asked, not sure I wanted to know the answer. If this was all in our head, then I wanted it to stay real but if I had somehow made it, I needed to know so I could grasp this second chance I'd been given at life."He came for us, he saved us" she said and I felt a heavy weight lift off of my heart. I'm alive, and in the
Mia's pov"I guess it's time for me to explain myself?" I chuckled nervously but he wasn't even the slightest amused. "Yeah, I guess so" he said, still facing away from me and I gulped at the dryness in his tone. "You know I've always wanted to know who I am, where I come from. Well I did, I found my people, Ryan is my people" I said, hoping that was a good enough opening. "What? What are you talking about? And where does Ryan fit into all of this? How does you finding yourself have to do with you fucking leaving Mia?" He questioned, the anger and confusion in his voice as clear as day.Okay, this is harder than I thought it would be, guess I have to start from the very beginning. "Remember when Ryan first came and we had this weird attachment to each?" I asked, realising that wasn't the best thing I could say to my angry Alpha mate. His low growl was answer enough and I decided to continue. "It wasn't just some attachment, he's my family, my cousin. It took Violet and I a while t
Trevor's povMorning came too quickly, especially since Mia and I hadn't slept all night. Tangled in each other's arms. I never knew the mate bond was this intense, just the sight of her or the smell of her delicious scent and I was ready. And the best part is that I could feel her, every bit of her. From her heartbeat to the insane amount of power that was just underneath the surface.I don't know if it's just in my head but it felt like my flames were feeding off of that power, making me stronger than I've ever been. Maybe a little sparring match with dad to test just how much stronger I've gotten since the marking. I sighed, content with the fact that I had marked her mine and she had marked me hers. We belonged to each other now. Literally nothing could come between us, we were one soul. "I'm hungry" she said in a tired voice and I chuckled. "I'm starving" I said, pulling her close so I could inhale her scent. "No, no, no. We are getting out of bed and getting ready for the d
Mia's povTwo years later"Why didn't anyone tell me pregnancy was shit!" Britney literally yelled as she tried to stand from the couch she'd been sitting but found it difficult with with her big round belly. It's been two years since I became Luna and boy was it crazy, the good kind of crazy. As we'd suspected, Wade and Meredith were mates and that boy didn't waste time knocking the girl up. "I did, I told you, you just didn't listen and always went crazy over my cute baby" Meredith answered, sipping on a margarita. "Urg Meredith, leave me alone" Britney whined, making me smile and almost cry as I saw myself bloated and unable to do anything in a few months. Just not with twins though, Britney was bringing twins into the world and boy were we excited for the little monsters to get here. And yes, I was pregnant too, found out this morning. Trevor and I had decided to wait before making babies but it seems like fate had other plans for us, and now I had to figure out how to tell
Mia's povI don't know why, but my heart hurt. Not too much but enough. Here I was, watching the life fade from my aunt's eyes while I held the murder weapon in my hands, twisting it until her body fell limp on the ground. She was my aunt, my family! Why did she hate me so much? Wasn't she supposed to love me? Accept me? And yet, she was the very reason for my misery. "She deserved it" were the words my wolf said to make me feel better about killing my own blood but I didn't work. I wasn't like Serena, killing my family wasn't something I took pride in. Why did she have to be my enemy? "Mia?" Trevor's voice interrupted my thoughts, making me avert my gaze from the still bleeding corpse to my mate, who's eyes held so much grief and confusion, even in his wolf form. "I'm okay" I said but I know we both knew I was lying, I wasn't fine, far from it. "Selene, are you alright?" I heard Gaya ask and turned to see the moon Goddess sitting against a tree, her dress soaked in blood and a h
Trevor's povMy hands fisted as blood rained over us, killing the flames slowly, our efforts dying right before our eyes. "We got as many as we could, now let's get the others!" Drew growled in my head and my teeth clench. "She sure is going the extra mile tonight, she usually leaves when she notices some resistance" Wade said, bringing light to an issue I hadn't even realised. "You don't think she's making her final stance, do you?" Britney asked, making Wade shrug but I think we all knew she was. "What happened to waiting for the full moon?" Uncle Mika grumbled, watching the witch with so much disdain. "Maybe she figured out we'd all be stronger on a full moon" mom said with a sigh. She seemed so tired and frail but I knew better than to believe that. She was only saddened by the unnecessary deaths of so many wolves, she wasn't any weaker. The flames finally died down and the grounds were plunged into complete darkness. "Get ready!" Mia yelled as howls on the other side of the
Mia’s pov Chaos and fear greeted me the moment I stepped outside the pack house, everyone was in a rush. I could see Britney in the distance helping people into the bunker and I could detect movement in the forest and the others were just waiting on the Alpha’s command to rush to the border but not tonight. But in the midst of all this rushing around, our friends made sure everyone was moving in the right direction. “Seems like our friends are handling themselves well” Trevor said standing behind me and I had to agree, it did look like they were handling themselves well. “We should give the command for border patrol to come back” I said with a deep sigh. The reality of what Trevor and I were about to do finally dawned on me and I couldn’t help the nervous shiver that went through me. They were getting closer, I could feel it but there was something different this time, something dark and sinister and it chilled me to the bone. “Where are the witches?” I asked, wanting to make s
Trevor‟s pov “That has to be the craziest thing you‟ve ever said” Britney said after listening to Mia‟s idea and as much as I love my mate, I had to side with Brit. “A fire of that magnitude can cause more harm than good” Cole said backing his mate up. “I know how dangerous it could get but it won‟t” she said, making our friends shake their heads. “Baby, as effective as that would be against those things, I have to stand with Britney and Cole” I said, a part of me feeling like I had betrayed her or something. The mate bond could be shitty sometimes. “So what? We just wait to get picked off one by one? We‟re losing here!” she said, the frustration in her voice hitting a little too deep. We were all frustrated about the war but it was different with Mia. She blamed herself for every fallen warrior and their mate if they didn‟t survive the loss of their mate. Those that did survive it were shells of themselves, left to raise their children alone and it was tearing her apart. “M
Serena's povThis! This is what victory looks like! Watching them fall one by one. My beautiful creation turning them into my mindless killing machines! This is what winning looks like. "You see Adeline, I always get what I want" I whispered, looking down from my bedroom window, watching my sleeping army."I bet you wish you'd just walked away from that mutt when I told you to, don't you big sister" I said, an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment washing over me. But I guess I can see the appeal, they weren't so bad, they make great soldiers that never tire and are just so much stronger. Though I must admit, their numbers were growing at an alarming rate. Occupying so much of my territory, but I guess I had to make peace with it, for now. But oddly enough, their growing numbers had a weird effect on me, almost like an orgasm, a mind blowing one at that. They were going to deliver that useless pack to me on a silver platter. "I wouldn't call it a silver platter, given the condi
Mia's povMy eyes caught a flash of black on my left as I dashed through the thick forest. I spotted a white light ahead and knew I was running straight into getting my ass beat and had to change course. I knew my right side was left open on purpose, there was definitely a trap waiting for me. I couldn't go head to head with the one waiting for me ahead but the panther on the left, I could take. I fisted my hands and felt that familiar tingle of my magic ready to cause some damage. Before she could change course, I dug my feet into the earth and took a sharp left. Tackling the deadly cat, we rolled a little before she threw me off of her and I kept going until I lost momentum. She growled at me as I quickly pulled myself up and prepared myself for her assault. Lunging for my face, I rolled beneath her, punching her stomach twice before she twisted mid air and used her back paws to scratch at my arm. I hissed at the pain but kept my eyes on her, knowing she would spring on me the
Mia's povI remembered everything I'd been feeling since this morning when I discovered how to unlock my power and control it.Knowing myself, being sure and not being afraid of who I am. I held on to that knowledge and felt my wolf and magic rush forward, becoming one with me as we peaked. I looked deep into recesses of my mind, trying to see it again, that beautiful place I'd had the pleasure of seeing just once. A place of peace and wonder, a place of immense beauty. I searched for the picture I'd made sure to engrave in my memory. And I saw her face, her beautiful smile and her sparkling green eyes. I remembered her voice and I remembered her name. "Gaya, Goddess I need you" I whispered the words yet I felt them echo in my mind, the sound wave rippling like when a stone is dropped into still waters. I felt her presence before I saw her, somewhere, deep in my soul, I felt her call and my ears rang with that sweet voice of her. "Mia" I heard her call and she was so close, I fe
Trevor's pov"Two weeks!" Mia practically screeched and I couldn't blame her. We were all gather in my dad's office, listening to Britney's assumptions. "Why do you think she would attack in two weeks?" dad asked and I leaned forward in my chair. "The full moon" she said, making me frown a little. "That wouldn't be a smart move, wolves are much stronger on a full moon and mom and I virtually unstoppable" I said, voicing my doubts. "I think that's the point, wolves are stronger on a full moon, rogues are wolves and unlike us, they've lost their humanity, it's just the wolf spirit raging" mom said and I sank back into my chair. Well, this wasn't good. "Taking into consideration that they're already modified monsters, we stand to lose the war" uncle Mika said rubbing his forehead. "Mom, were you able to figure out what the witch used to change the rogues?" I asked, hoping we could get an advantage over them. If they could turn our warriors into whatever they are, then it's safe to
