Mia's povJosy put everything away and smiled at me, holding out her hand. I was hesitant to take it, I didn't think I was ready to meet everyone, maybe just wait another day?"There's no need to be nervous darling. Everyone's going to love you" she said with a warm smile. "How are you so sure?" I asked, trying to delay going out to meet everyone. "Because we've been waiting for you for way too long, we've been without a true priestess for a very long time so you finally coming back to us is like Christ returning to the humans" she said, her gaze quite cheerful. I wondered how she could be so calm about this whole thing when I'm here dying on the inside. "What if I don't measure up? What if I'm not good enough? You say my mother was the best priestess the coven has ever had, what if I can't be her?" I asked, this time not stalling but expressing genuine concerns. "Oh sweetheart, no one expects you to be like your mother, not even she would expect you to be like her" she said and th
Trevor's povDrew hasn't said a word to me in hours. We searched the forest all night long but couldn't get a trace of her scent past a few metres outside the border. It's like she just vanished into thin air, disappeared out of our lives like she never existed. I searched her room for any clues since we came back but there's nothing. The only proof of her existence is her clothes that are covered in her scent. That's the only thing I have of her besides memories.I don't know what to do or how to feel. My body aches in ways I never thought possible and my heart feels like it's not even mine. "Hey" I heard a soft whisper from the door and I couldn't even raise my head. "I came to check on you" Mom said sitting beside me on the bed. She took my hand into both of hers and I instantly started feeling her warmth travel through me, I don't know if she knew that I was in pain but I deeply appreciated the relief. "I remember being in so much pain when I was away from your dad, I can't im
Mia's povI took my clothes off, folding them neatly and put them on the floor, well, not before sniffing Trevor's shirt. I slowly got into the tub, one leg at a time and sat down. I heaved as the water came to chest, feeling a bit of panic take root. I didn't know what I was supposed to do so I just sat there for a while. I think I sat there for about five minutes before I got bored and started running my hands over my body. I took a deep breath and went under, running my hands through my hair, making sure the herbal water touched every inch of my body. I breathed heavily once I surfaced and used my hands to wipe the water off of my face. It took a few deep breaths to finally calm my racing heart and when I did, the ache was the only thing I was feeling. I brought my hand to chest, wondering how Trevor was doing, he must hate me so much. What if he moves on? He might find another she wolf to mate, an Alpha's daughter that won't run away from him. Goddess knows how many would just
Mia's povI noticed that everyone was standing in what looked like circles, getting smaller as we reached the centre. It was when we reached the centre that I noticed it was a spiral and not circles. We reached the centre of the spiral, Ryan standing there, dressed in all black and looked sharp. "Looking good there advisor" I teased as I stood in front of him. He blushed, looking down at the ground, "thank you my lady, you look quite beautiful yourself" he said making me smile. "Chit chat later, it's time to start the ceremony" Josy said, making sure that I was right at the centre. Ryan stood next to me and Josy stood next to him, perfectly completing the spiral. "Now we will begin" Josy said in a loud voice and began chanting. Everyone joined and the energy instantly changed, becoming more electric and charged. It was like I could feel their chanting deep in my soul. "Mia!" Violet gasped, a sense of panic rushing over her and before I could ask her what was going on, I felt some
Mia's pov"Congratulations on passing the test, I had a little doubt since you knew nothing about me until a few minutes ago but you surprised me" the goddess said coming to sit next to me. Her eyes wandering over in front of us and I also took notice of where we were. This place was fit to be the home of the goddess, the grass was a green that looked like it was coloured till they found the perfect shade. There was a mountain far ahead that had a waterfall, leading to a river. The river bed had a variety of wild flowers and shrubs growing all over, giving the place the colour it needed to complete it's heavenly look. "Nature is quite beautiful" she said, making me look at her before looking around, this place was just as beautiful as her. I chanced a look behind me and the creepy forest was still there, only this time, it didn't seem so creepy. I could clearly see inside and the creature that had been chasing me wasn't there. "Don't worry about him, he's out patching up his wounde
Trevor's povI looked down as the goddess ran her hands through my fur, her touches making me feel content, was I supposed to feel like that? Even with my heartbreak?"The last time a flaming wolf called to my presence was when she was dying. Your kind is quite stubborn and never asks for my guidance. It took a broken heart for you to call out to me" she said with a laugh, rolling her eyes as I looked at her surprised. "The flaming wolf?" I asked surprised, not liking the name one bit. "Demon Alpha is a more suitable name than the flaming wolf. Respectfully" Drew said, making the goddess giggle. "I agree with you, flaming wolf is quite lame, as you kids put it" she said with a smile that seemed like one of a child after receiving candy. I'd heard from my mother that there was a wolf just like me when there were still more of us, before we were hunted for the magic in our blood. There wasn't anymore information about it because everything about the goddess' descendants was destroyed
Trevor's pov"It does make sense but it's extremely dangerous. You have no idea what you're walking into and I'll be damned if I lose anyone else!" Dad yelled with so much authority, I had to sit down and shut my mouth. We had come to our parents with what Britney had come up with and as much as they agreed with her theory, they wouldn't let us follow the lead and we'd been going back and fourth for a good ten minutes. And it looked like my dad was done listening to what I had to say.Their argument was valid, we have no clue what could be waiting for us but we had to at least try, I had to try. This is my mate that's missing!I was fuming on the inside but there was nothing I could do, dad had used his Alpha command on us and we couldn't go against it, it was basic wolf nature to always submit to our Alpha. Being an Alpha doesn't excuse me from my Alpha's command, I'm not the one in charge so I had to listen. "Maybe we can figure out a way to look into it without risking anyone?" m
Mia's povThe sun had started setting but the coven was as lively as they had been when the celebrations started. I couldn't even fault them, they haven't had a true priestess in a long time and now they do. They have me. "You seem up to the challenge" Violet said, seeming quite relaxed. "I am, I truly feel ready for this" I said, taking in a deep breath. I've never felt more ready for anything in my life and even though I have no clue what I'm doing, I know I'd rather die than fail these people. I looked over the happy faces of my coven, their joy warming my heart. "They feel like home" Violet said with a sigh, not sure whether it was a sad one or not. "I know" I admitted, though the thought felt wrong but I couldn't deny it, they did feel like home. Like I finally belonged and I didn't have to go the extra mile to just fit in or gain their favour. I wasn't pressured into anything I didn't want back at the pack but I always felt like the odd one out. I wasn't the only orphan ther
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
