It wasn't what he had expected to see in the middle of the forest, but he couldn't deny that he was relieved to see them after all these years. As the thunder softly rolled on over them, Winston stopped with his nose to the air. Aiden's body instinctively stood as close as he could to Amira when his eyes caught sight of the Mark on his neck.
"You're Mated." He sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair, his eyes glanced over to Connor where he noticed another Mark on his neck, "You too. That's great, but furthermore, what are you two doing here?" He asked when he felt Amira's hand on his bare back. He peered over his shoulder to see her fully clothed again with mud still caked on neck and face.
"We came here to seek your help." Winston rested an arm around Connor's shoulders and held him close. It was rare for Mates to be of the same sex, but it wasn't abn

Soft giggling drew his attention over his paperwork to the little girl in front of his desk. Her black and blonde hair in pigtails and her green and red eyes sparkled with glee. He raised a brow at the child before lowering his gaze down to his papers again. The giggling only intensified. He rested the paper down on his desk, leaning forward on his elbows to intimidate the child. She only giggled more."You have a strong will, Myra." He said as he leaned back in his chair and waved her around. She jumped up before she dashed around to hop on his lap, "Surely you'd have more fun with your toys rather than me.""I wanna play with daddy." She grumbled as she puffed out her cheeks. He couldn't control the corners of his lips twitching. He sighed as he got up from his chair while holding her in his arms as he stood in front of the large window that looked out over the training yard. He watched as Damion paced along a line of fresh recruits, his voice echoi

She picked up the third Grimoire, blowing the dust off of it and ran her fingers over the intricate leather bound cover. She sat cross-legged amidst the pile upon piles of books Janice left behind. With each slow turn of a page, time flew on by, but she hadn't been able to get any answers that she hoped for. Amira let out a breath as she casted her gaze over to the mystery book she had yet to crack open since she had received it some time ago. She still didn't quite understand the significance behind it, but she hoped Willow did. Whenever she woke up again."This is going to take me ages." She blew her hair from her face, "Grimoires are spellbooks." She snapped the book shut, "I need a book on the actual history of... anything at this point." She set the book aside for now and brushed the dust off of her knees."Having a hard time?" Aiden's voice surprised you from the gated entrance. He leaned against the metal frame, his hands in his pockets and his

The chill in the air caressed her cheeks and kissed her nose. Her eyes fluttered open and took in the change in scenery. She had grown used to her mind being thrown around from place to place, yet right now her mind felt even more drained than it normally did while she experienced a vision. It could be for the fact she had just awoken after being in a comatose like state for some time, or maybe there was another reason all together. She cast her gaze around to the desolate trees that surrounded her. She could have mistaken it as the forest she had visited to see Hecate, but there was no lush greenery to fill her sights or the coiling of a snake around her feet. This place felt more isolated with the barren trees with not a shred of life to them. The ground dulled down with brown grass and cracked dirt patches like the area hadn't seen rain for weeks. She turned her attention to the left and to the right. There wasn't a single life form within the vicinity. No squirrels. No birds. Not

When Willow came to, she had a look on her face that Aiden could only describe as realization and acceptance. She blinked a few times with Dante beside her. Aiden never saw someone disappear mentally like that before, but he half expected for her to not come back looking so calm either."It all makes sense." She finally said, "Her revenge and why we are connected." Her eyes lifted to Amira's. Aiden glanced over to his Mate and recognized the glimmer of acknowledgment in hers."What did you see, my dear?" Dante asked as he tucked her hair behind her ear. Aiden followed the tuck down for a moment and noticed two dark scars on Willow's neck that he could only assume were left by Dante at some point. He felt his stomach churn for a moment as he turned his gaze away and stood a bit closer to Amira. She raised a brow at him questioningly."All that I needed to." She said as her hands rested in her lap, "I watched the day Karmina died."&

She watched Aiden pace back and forth at the edge of their bed. It had been a week since the devastating attack on his home. When the police arrived, Willow was able to weave and bend her magic to manipulate the memories of the officers. A candle was left unattended that got carried away. At least, that's what the report would say. In regards to the creatures that were burned in the fires, Jax and herself took care of disposing them as they should. Six feet under with silver, herbs, just about anything and everything they had at their disposal to prevent these things from rising up again. In the mean time, Amira took Aiden and Lymeria into her home above the bookstore until further plans were made. Jax left to meet up with Leyla and update her on how things turned out here. As the year was coming to a close, nothing seemed to be weighing in their favor yet."Aiden..." She called to him softly, but he continued to pace as if he didn't hear her. She let her shoulder

What was I thinking?He sat on the edge of the cliff that overlooked the lake and forest below, observing his pack members building their new community. After the agreement was settled to put Godfried and his Witch in their place, he dedicated his time to their situation. Seeking advice amongst the political Wolves of the pack to see what they could obtain. With a bit of luck on their side, they managed to strike a deal and bought land just outside the city. He didn't dare ask what all went down for the deal, he was just grateful that his pack finally had a place to call home.Even now, amidst the heavy snow the Wolves were busy with their construction. Several houses were up already in a matter of a few months. As long as they had put their time and effort into it, many things could be accomplished in such a short time.Snow crunched beneath footfalls, her scent drifted on the wind to him as she stopped beside him and took a seat, he

He walked the empty halls, his hands clenched at his sides as his eyes darted left to right and back again as he passed by the empty rooms. Each of his members up and left one by one over the course of a few weeks. He knew where they had gone, he just couldn't wrap his head around it still."Aiden." He growled his son's name in distaste as his fingers turned into claws and scratched along the wall. The wallpaper shredded as he tore through it, the underlining woodwork splintering off in tiny pieces. How did it all come down to this?He collected himself, his fingers turned back to normal as he adjusted his charcoal tie and flattened out the wrinkles in his royal blue suit and continued his walk to his room. Everyone else would be gone, all except for her. His only true ally in a world full of traitors."Godfried?" Her sweet voice reached his ears from the end of the corridor where she stepped out from her bed chambers. He felt his Wolf gr

The bolt whistled through the air before piercing deeply into the trunk of an oak tree. Amira let out a slow breath that turned into white smoke before her eyes. The sun was nearly set, long, dark shadows casted across the clearing she made into her practice field. The snow was still thick on the ground, the Wisconsin Winter nearly half way finished, yet the cold and snow only seemed to get worse. She lowered her crossbow and blew loose strands of her hair from her face before taking a look around the darkening woods. This was her personal quiet space for solo training while she gathered her thoughts about the battle that was coming. Aiden had been preoccupied with settling in his new pack members as the new Rogue Alpha, although he still grimaces at the mention of it. Jax and Leyla were on their way back from Madison to help in the fight and train with the Rogues while Lymeria..."Amira!" Lymeria's voice called out to her from behind, "I thought I'd find you here

The moon hung high in the sky. The windowpane gently rattled from the wind. Fresh leaves had begun to bud on the trees in their garden. Spring had finally arrived. She hummed softly, her fingers tracing a small circle on the infant's back as she rocked him to sleep. His head snuggled against her chest, the light sucking of his pacifier filled her ears. His twin snored softly in his crib with a light blue blanket snuggled into his arms. She shut her eyes, her heart beat steady and her mind at ease for the first time in months. The birth of the twins took a toll on her body worse than she had ever imagined. She was hospitalized. Bedridden until her vitals were normal again. Even with Nox assisting her, there was only so much the Wolf spirit could do for a vessel that wasn't his own. A gentle knock came from the closed door before it creaked open for Jayce's head to peer in. His tender smile still made her heart flutter as he stepped in and made his wa

Darlow turned into a ghost town once the battle had officially ended. Any memory of the town had been wiped clean from the citizens that had called it home. The Werewolf community took it upon themselves to clear it out and put whatever was left behind to good use in their new home. Lymeria was on rest after her collision with her ex-Mate, but she was stronger than what he gave her credit for. As for his own Mate. She was still healing after she lost her father in the fight. Leyla had taken temporary leadership of the Hunters until Amira felt she was ready to take over her father's footsteps. She was still healing as well with the loss of her lover, even with the brave face she had put on. The world still moved on and darkness still lingered at every corner. Willow advised later it to burn the deceased that were not turned during the fight, in order to prevent any further undead to wander about. She was handling things slowly with her new abilities. Aiden had caught her freque

Lymeria snarled aggressively at Godfried. The fur on her back rose to make herself appear larger than what she was. Whatever had gone through Godfried's head in that moment must've vanished as he lowered his head to the ground, his black stained teeth bare as he growled challengingly at Lymeria. Amira looked between them when she felt Jax shift in her arms. She looked down at her pale-faced father, his eyes dark as he struggled to speak."Don't speak. Please." Amira swallowed her emotions that fought to come forward. She glanced around the battle with urgency to find her Mate across the clearing with a few of the undead creatures surrounding him. A howl ripped through the air that drew her attention back to Lymeria as Godfried charged and tackled her to the ground. Lymeria barked and snarled as she clawed and bit him, but it wasn't enough to faze him. His jaws snapped at her throat, but she wiggled free in time. His claws dug into her ribs, that caused Lymeria to

Everything happened so quickly. Echoes of gunfire rang loud and clear. The snarls and growls of both monster and beast reverberated in the night. Aidan disappeared into the fray while Amira kept her crossbow up and her back turned away from the monstrosities. Yet with each one that fell, another would take its place. Even with the extra magical power that Willow had extended to the rest of them, it barely put a dent in the Dark Witch's undead army. The unsettling part was that Godfried hadn't made a single move yet. He remained poised beside his Witch near the back of the clearing where they had entered from. Even from the distance, he was an imposing figure.A bark caught her attention. Her gaze swiveled around to find a she-Wolf cornered by two undead creatures. Blood and black ooze coated her grey fur, claw wounds exposed on her chest and she panted heavily from exhaustion of the fight. Amira could see the energy leaving this Wolf's body and it wouldn't be long

He let out a slow, steady breath after getting out of Amira's truck. His eyes scanned the dark forest while Amira grabbed her weapons from the bed of the truck. He could hear the light crunch of snow being traveled through by his pack while on their way to the destination. He peered over at Amira after she closed the back up and slung her crossbow over her shoulders. She set aside her casual brown leather jacket and jeans for a tight fitted black leather jacket, black cargo pants and black combat boots to match. She had pulled her white hair back into a ponytail with braids tied in it.She lifted her gaze to meet his and tried to give him a reassuring smile, but the corners of her lips just wouldn't rise. He walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Everything will be alright."She let out a breath. "I know, but this feels almost like déjà vu." She looked over as another set of headlights came up behind her truck and parked there.

Snow crunched beneath her boots as she walked alongside the lake. Ice layered the surface of the water and gave a beautiful reflection of the moon and stars. Time was about to run out before Godfried and his Witch would arrive, and she still felt ill-prepared for what laid ahead. Even though a truce was made between the Hunters and the Werewolves, the tension was so thick, not even a knife could cut through it. As reluctant as everyone was, training and preparations were still coming along as well as she could hope for. Even in the short time frame that they had."Amira?" Jax called out to her from behind. She peered over her shoulder to her father who looked far older than she remembered him being the last time she saw him. He had his hands stuffed into his dark leather jacket as he walked up to stand beside her. His dark hair streaked with grey and bags lined under his eyes."When did you sleep last?" She asked him as a cold breeze brushed through t

He folded his arms over his broad chest as he gazed at the sleeping Willow and Dante snuggled up on the small sofa tucked into the corner of the bookshop. When he awoke and noticed that his Mate hadn't come to bed, he grew a bit worried and came down to investigate. He wasn't expecting to find the Vampire and his partner asleep on the sofa when he came to check up on her. He inclined his head as he admired the view for just a moment of the two lovers. In their peaceful sleeping state, they appeared as an ordinary couple that happened to doze off together.Aiden peered over to the open gate to the restricted section and saw Amira slightly slouched forward while sitting upright. He shook his head, not at all surprised that she had fallen asleep in that position as he had caught her doing it once before. He walked around the desk and stood behind her while he leaned against the metal doorframe."Hey." He nudged her gently with his foot, "Sleepyhead, wake
The Hunter and the Rogue Alpha 32: Amira
The warmth of the sun surprised her as her eyes fluttered open to find herself standing in a grassy field with dandelions scattered about in all directions. The air was still chilled yet not a speck of snow in sight. She patted herself down, feeling the fabric of her clothes and the softness of her face and hands. It all felt real to her, but it also felt like a dream at the same time. She ran her fingers over the blades of grass when her she felt someone watching her. She looked around and spotted a woman dressed in an off white tunic that fell just below her mid thigh. The tunic was pulled over her right shoulder with a clasp that seemed to pin it in place. A leather belt wrapped around her waist with what looked like a thin quiver attached at her hip. On her arms were braces strapped to them with gloves that had the index and pinky finger exposed. She had what appeared to be thin leather straps wrapped around her calves, but with the grass it was difficult to tell if she was
The Hunter and the Rogue Alpha 31: Willow
She peered over to Dante's half-naked sleeping form beside her. She brushed her fingers through his dark hair and caressed his cheek. He stirred slightly, but did not wake as she crawled out of bed as slowly and quietly as possible. She stepped up to the mirror that occupied their hotel room and in the dim light of the moon that came in through the window, saw her reflection staring back at her. Willow ran her fingers over the fresh bite mark on her right breast Dante had left behind. She didn't feel fatigued like she normally did after he drank from her. It was strange, or perhaps with her new powers she inherited from Janice, she's able to withstand the effects of a Vampire's bite. She tugged on the longer strands of hair, her lips pursed as she mentally decides on a trim when her eyes shifted over to the white book on the nightstand beside her bed. The same book she always met with Hecate whenever she needed her wisdom. Except this time, she felt certain that this is where
