Mia's povI woke up at four am, even though I hardly slept all night. I could feel my magic vibrating right under my skin. It wasn't painful by any means, just uncomfortable, I felt so different. "I guess we need some time to adjust to our new powers" Violet said, sounding just as tired as I was. She hadn't slept either, she'd stayed up with me and now I know it wasn't to keep me company. "Yeah and I hope it doesn't take too long, I don't like not sleeping" I said throwing the blanket off of me, it was starting to get a little too hot. I got off the bed, stretching a little and instantly realised that I needed to go for a run. And so without hesitation, I grabbed a sports bra and leggings from my bag, which I guess I should unpack, and put the clothes on on. Grabbing the shoes that I used to run away from my home, I quickly slipped them on and made my way out. The house was quiet, which meant Josy was still asleep, so I made sure not to wake her. Once outside, I stretched for abou
Serena’s pov“Pl… please my lady” the worthless waste of breathe groaned, coughing out blood, further staining the floor.“Mercy” he choked out, making me grit my teeth in anger, mercy was the last thing on my mind. “You want mercy? Tell us what we want to know!” my son, killian growled as he threw yet another punch to the guards already bloodied face. “I don.. don’t kn.. know anything” the guard said between breathes and I finally stood from my chair.“Why do you keep protecting them? They left you here to die! Why are you so loyal? I am your priestess, shouldn’t you be loyal to me?” I asked, wanting nothing more than to cut out his throat but I still needed him. “I didn’t see anything my lady, I swear” he begged and I had to commend his strength, many would have broken from all the pain we inflicted on him. Maybe he was telling the truth. “Lies!” Killian roared and stabbed the guard’s shoulder with the knife he’d been using to cut and stab him. “Aaaaaaaah, please, I swear on m
Trevor's povI was a whirlwind of emotion and exhausting but I let none of it show as we continued to run through the night till dawn. "We should find a water source, rest and refuel" I said to the others through the link and they agreed. All except Uncle Mika."No, we keep going" he said, a little too aggressive, making Drew stand at attention at the obvious disrespect. He'd been barking orders at us all night long and would rush us every time we took a moment too long to catch our breaths. We'd put up with it all night and I had to calm Drew a lot more times than I'd like and to an extent, I understood, it's his daughter we were out here looking for but she was my mate and I'm the Alpha here. "We've been running all night, we all need rest! We're useless if the person following us decides to attack and we can't even defend ourselves!" I growled, letting my Alpha aura out so he would submit. "We don't know who it is or what they're capable of, all we know is that it's not a rogue.
Mia's povJosy and I had been out in the forest, away from the coven for some quiet because my training had officially started. Well, more like we'd hit a wall and I was just about ready to explode. "Relax Mia, forcing it will only make it harder, let it flow through you" she said in a gentle voice but it still got on my nerve. I'd been at it for hours but still couldn't get the hang of it, especially since she told me this was the easiest part of my training, learning how to control and manipulate the wind. I tried to ease my mind and follow her instructions, the only way I was going to get it was if I listened to her. She was the teacher after all. I took deep breaths and let it rush over me like she'd said. Clearing my mind of anything that could distract me, more like trying to not think about Trevor. I kept breathing deep, feeling the air fill my lungs up. The oh so familiar tingles in my finger tips started and I grew hopeful once again. I focused on the feeling, allowing
Killian's povI was busy cleaning up the mess my mother and I had made when Roman walked in, visibly cringing at the sight of blood. Weak little bitch, that's why his mate left him behind. "What do you want?" I sneered, I didn't have a reason to hate him, I just did, I hated weak men. Not only did he lose his mate, he was failing to find her as well. If I were Josy, I'd celebrate my freedom from this omega male, he didn't even deserve to be called a beta male, he was at the bottom of the food chain. "Your mother sent me to inform you that you are to join us this time, with your friends" he said, looking away from the blood, punk. What he said though did peak my interest. My mother would never send me out if there wasn't something promising. "Oh, you actually found something this time?" I asked, quite pleased and surprised. For once he brought back valuable information. "Yes, we suspect that they're somewhere in the west with the princess and I had a..." I cut him off as he was fi
Trevor's povAfter thirty minutes of rest, we decided to continue our search, which was starting to look a little fruitless. Yes, we hadn't been out here for long but in our wolf form, we managed to cover a lot of ground. Approximately a week's travel by human form so we were a bit away from the pack. But none of it meant nothing because we still had no clue where she could be. "Guys, we need to rethink our plan" I said through the link as I slowed down to a stop, making the others stop as well. "As much as I hate to admit it, you're right, we're not getting anywhere like this" uncle Mika said with a sigh, surprising all of us. "At this rate, we'll run across the country" Wade said and I nodded my head in agreement. "We need to figure out what to do, we can't keep running blind" I said as they all seemed to agree. "Let's not forget that we're dealing with witches, they could be right under our nose" Cole said, making me think back to the one that was following us. What if his jo
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
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
