Prince Alpha Orion pov I could feel the tension in the room as my mother sat ringing her hands in her lap . I needed to find out what was going on with my mother , what happened to her wolf . Onix was pacing in my head giving me a headache . I give everyone one last glance before I take a deep breath and decide the best thing was to get this over with “ Mother , I know your wolf is not prescient . Can you please tell me why ?” My heart is hammering out my chest , as I wait for an answer . My father leans over and takes my mothers trembling hand in his frail one . She looks up at him with tears in her eyes . “ I had no choice , He has taken her as punishment .” She says in a soft voice that's not much louder than a whisper , I am a bit confused and encourage her to continue . “ I first met Cicero when I was a child . Then I watched him drain my mother , while holding Fallon's hand .” A sob ripped through her as she remembered , I just stayed silent allowing her to speak her trut
Leonor pov The walls had started to close in , days and nights ran into one . Fallon kept trying to be positive , I knew she was scared . I knew she missed Lex as I missed Orion , I saw the tears she tried to hide . I could feel the darkness , it lapped at my skin giving me comfort in this time of distress . I had been through worse , this cosy room and three meals a day was not exactly torture . I can't explain how I actually felt , I missed my mate but the darkness clouded my mind . My mind was at ease , I was in a permanent state of contentment . My wolf was still with me but even she was begging to irritate me . I just wanted to be left alone , my thoughts were never fully my own . I was dragged out of my thoughts as the room door flew open and two guards were standing . Fallon visabilly jumped , she almost ran to me . I wish I could find it in me to be scared but the two guards were half the size of my normal opponents . Pain never really bothered me , I learnt at an earl
Alpha Prince Orion pov I had been watching Red and the other witches setting up for the past half hour . My patience is on the brink of an explosion , Onix was pacing in my head giving me a migraine . Something was off , I could feel it in my gut . I had received a mind-link to let me know my parents were back in their wing , I thanked the guard and shut the link off . Lex looked like he was on the edge as well , every now and then I would catch his eye . He looked exhausted , he has hardly slept in days and dont think I have seen him eating . Coffee that's what most of us have been living off . I was ready to go for another coffee when Onix let out a skull splitting howl almost bringing me to my knees . Within seconds Haggen was by my side , “ Alpha , Alpha .” I could hear the worry in their voices , they sounded faraway . As fast as it happened it left me , I was left panting and gripping my head . Onix was quiet , and then it happened “ Orion .” it was so low I was starting to
Alpha Prince Orion pov It's been a week since Leonor and Fallon came home . I wish it was back to how it was but the truth was it most definitely was not . My mate was different , her wolf was uncontactable , Onix was going crazy . Leonor was having trouble with her memory , there was definitely something wrong , every time she remembered something she would be crippled with pain in her head and pass out . The doctors did every test they could , nothing showed up . Red was really worried as she could see the darkness taking hold of her . I just wanted to be with her , to hold her but she was almost shut off to me . I know when I am touching her the sparks from our bond seems to calm her . She still cuddles into me at night in her sleep , especially if she is having a nightmare . She had a haunted look to her when she was awake , I knew she was missing Jewel . I wish I could take her away for a short break , just the two of us . I had just stood under the shower when a small knock
Leonor pov I had been sending prayers to the moon goddess , I miss Jewel . I feel lonely. My head is so quiet without my wolf and her annoying, always right attitude . I know Orion is really trying but I also know he is afraid to push for answers , answers I honestly don't know . When I try to reach the part of my mind that seems to be dark and clouded as soon as I push against the darkness I am knocked unconscious by the pain it shoots through my head . Last night was the first time I allowed myself to feel since I came home , I missed my mate . I missed his touch , his scent and his love . Last night I let myself be drowned in his warmth and love , it was the first time I felt normal . I woke up this morning alone , I panicked for a moment until I realised I was at home in our room . Orion must have felt the panic down our bond and came out of the bathroom with soap still in his hair . “ Leonor, are you ok ? Crap “ Orion says as he falls over his boots with soap now in his ey
Lilith pov I can't help but let my thoughts consume me as I lie in the bath waiting for Haggen to get back . I had mixed some of my oils to try and relax me from the storm within me . I won't lie, I have been struggling to keep my distance from Len , she is my best friend . Being in the same space as her has my light white aura wanting to battle with the darkness that is trying to consume my best friend . The clash of our auras causes Len pain , she tries hard to ignore it . She has put up with so much pain from an early age but that doesn't mean I want to inflict any unnecessary pain on her . My grandma has been so helpful but said that I was in charge. She was only here for guidance . The meeting this afternoon was going over and over in my head . I have been sending prayers to Hecate , for her help in saving my friend . I have even been sending Selene some prayers as Len is one of her wolf children . I wasn't beyond saying I was desperate , but my grandma kept telling me to b
Lex pov She hasn't been right since she was found , she's jumpy and has a haunted look to her . The time she was gone was the worst time of my life . I prayed to the moon goddess every night to bring her back to me . I know she isn't my fated mate but she would be my chosen , if she wanted . I guess that would be something we would need to talk about , right now I just need her to get better . I have seen Haggen’s mate in action , she is something else . To be honest anyone who can keep Haggen in place is going to be badass to start with . Steel my wolf , has been going crazy , he wants blood . Even though the goddess decided Fallon wasn't for us , I still prayed she would change her mind , second chance mates are rare . It does happen though . Steel has always recognised Fallon's wolf Mist as his , since the day she shifted into her beautiful white/silver coloured wolf he was smitten . ***Flashback*** “Lex , I am scared everyone said it hurts .” Fallon said as we are making ou
Haggen pov I can't help but be worried for Lilith , she is my mate . I have waited a long time for her , never in my wildest dreams would I think I would be mated to a witch . Not just any witch but one of the most powerful witches or high witch if you like . It was her personality I loved , she was fierce . Not to mention her long legs , long red hair and stunning green eyes . Just thinking about her has my dick twitching in my pants . I know using so much of her magic is taking its toll on her , even though she would never say . We have been preparing to help unlock Lenny's memories , we need a full moon . That gives up three more days to try and help Fallon . Lil seems to think it could be linked to whatever is going on with Lenny . I have been trying to encourage my mate to rest while she can but of course my girl is all about the greater good and saving the world . Nope she will not have any of it and insists on working . I know she is feeling it without having Len to talk t
