Avery walked in to the dining room with Lydia by her side. Her body seemed relaxed but she held something in her eyes, she looked angry, worried as her eyes scanned the surroundings.
When her eyes landed on me, she smiled softly and came up to us.
She took her seat next to James and continued eating.
”Everything alright?” My brother asked his mate as he placed a kiss on her head.
”Everything is fine, Lydia just wanted to see if we needed any help with the ceremony, but I told her me and Amber had it covered.” Avery said and winked at me.
All the planning started to resume in my head from that comment as the color pallets and decorations were set in place in my imagination.
”We could use some help with the decorations,” I said and looked at Lydia. She was Averys best friend and I knew she wanted to help.
”The more the merrier,” Avery said with a wide smile.
”Great, have you thought of a dress?” Lydia asked giddily. Avery opened her mouth to answer but was interrupted by my brother next to her.
”No.” He said and brought his cup up to take a drink.
Avery smiled sweetly and moved her hand from the table and brought it down. As soon as she did, James jumped in his seat and his body stiffened.
”Yep, yeah she found a dress.” he seethed and glared at his mate. She gave him an air kiss and removed her hand.
James was quick to grab her hand before she pulled it away, holding it in the air between them.
He leaned his head down and whispered,
”You started something you now have to finish.” He whispered, thinking we wouldn't listen and i regret that I did.
I scrunched my nose and turned my head, watching Lydia with her raised brows as she watched James and Avery like they were a reality-show.
Averys cheeks turned red as she looked away, biting her lip.
* * *
”No, you can't use green with yellow,”
”Yes, look,” Avery said and held the two floral pieces beside each other. Me and Lydia stood there looking miserably at Averys choices.
”See,” she said and showed them closer. Her eyes were pleading and determined. She couldn't see the horrific mix of colors that we saw.
The door opened up and Lisa stepped in.
”Hey guys wh- no.” she said sternly and pointed to the pictures Avery was holding up.
Avery growled and lowered her hands.
”I thought that this was my ceremony,” she said sternly.
”Oh it is, honey, but we all have to witness it and I am in no mood to scratch my eyes out.” Lisa said and placed a hand on Averys shoulder.
”Fine, what do you want?” She snapped at Lisa who smirked.
”I need some details for your dress,” she said and pulled out a measuring band. Avery held her arms out and let Lisa do her job.
”Hey!” Avery shrieked when Lisas hand went up to her ass.
”Stay still, you whiny baby,” Lisa scolded.
”What about invitations? Is there anyone outside the pack you want to invite?” I asked her.
”Just Natasha and Carlos,” she said with a shrug.
I nodded my head and took a step back and saw Lydia starting to talk to Avery about the color pallets and how she would be walking up on the podium.
I saw Lisa interjecting with her own ideas and tips and they all started giggling while Avery rolled her eyes.
I knew she was doing this for me. I knew that she couldn't care less about the Luna ceremony but merely did it to make me happy and get my mind of Malia.
Their voices were drained out and I just observed.
I couldn't stop thinking about her. About how it felt when I saw Malia that first time out on the field. How she didn't kill my brother or any of the others from out pack after her eyes met mine.
How I wanted to protect her, to kiss her, to love her.
”Hey,”
They had all turned their heads and were watching me.
”Hey!” Their voices became louder and I shook my head, suddenly aware of my zone-out.
”What’s up?” I asked them, as if nothing had happened.
”Where were you just now?”
”Standing here, watching you fight over flowers.” They all narrowed their eyes.
”We were fighting about shoes,” Avery said softly.
I cleared my throat and looked down on the notebook I was holding. It was wrinkled.
”I’m sorry,” I said, my voice came out hoarse.
Avery looked around the room and then back at me.
”You know what, we’re done here, aren't we? Everything is fixed and ready for the ceremony on Friday.” She said placed everything away. We all looked in confusion as she put her shoes on and grabbed her bag.
Lisa left the room to go and fix the dress.
”Let’s go,” Avery said and walked towards the door.
* * *
Where are we going?” I asked her as me and Lydia got into the car.
”To pay someone a visit.” Avery said.
We drove away from the pack territory and on to the main road.
”Avery?” I asked when she didn't speak. Her eyes were focused on the road but her mind was somewhere else.
”When you asked me who I wanted to invite, the first names that popped into my head were Natasha and Carlos,”
”So?”
”So, i thought of something. Carlos is a Knight, right? The oldest one there is today.” She said and narrowed her eyes.
”He might have information on Malia,” I gasped and sunk down in the seat.
”Yes, and if he does, he will tell us.”
”How can you be so sure?” I asked her. Carlos wasn't one to talk much, especially where history was concerned. Avery looked at Lydia in the back seat.
Lydia sighed and nodded her head.
”Because if he has information but keeps it hidden, then he’s putting his entire family in danger.”
My eyes widened.
”What do you mean?” I asked her. They knew something and hadn't told me.
”Malias cousin is a descendant from the first vampire that ever existed. She’s powerful and has been seeking revenge on the people who turned her cousin, meaning you and your family. If Malia tells her that you two are mates, she might have the leverage she needs.”
”You knew?” I growled as I turned my head to Avery.
She winced but nodded her head.
”Damnit, Aves!” I dragged my hand over my face.
”You know James will kill us, right?” I asked her and again, she winced.
”Let’s worry about that later,” she said softly and stared out on the road.
~Avery~
Yes, I knew that James would kill us. But I also knew what it felt like to be away from your mate. It felt like having a piece of your soul ripped away from you, it was horrible.
I couldn't sit idly by and watch Amber deal with this on her own. The waiting was killing her.
I knew that Carlos had information, I didn't know how I knew, I just did.
And he would tell us.
I needed to help Amber, she deserved to be happy with the person she loves.
I had an eery feeling that Malia wasn't ignoring her. There was something else, there was more to the story than we knew.
I pulled the car up on the path leading to the pack house.
I saw Lydias eyes glazing over and when she came back she gave me a stiff nod.
”They’re awaiting us.” She said.
Lydia smiled as she looked out on the pack grounds that she had grown up on.
”Good to be home?” Her eyes glinted as she scanned the permitters.
”You’re my home, Aves, but it’s good to be back.” She said with utmost sincerity without taking her eyes of the land.
I giggled and parked the car outside of the pack house.
When we stepped out, five guards were immediately around us.
Amber and I extracted out claws and growled as they neared.
”Hello boys, move.” Lydia said to the guards. They smirked and stepped away, reveling the man behind them.
”Dad!”
”Hey, pumpkin,” Carlos said as he wrapped his arms around Lydia. I smiled but felt a sting to my heart as I watched.
It was beautiful.
”Come here,” he said and pulled me and Amber in for a hug.
”Come on inside. Natasha is away but I'm guessing it wasn't her you wanted to talk to.” He said. His alpha aura exuding as he straightened his back.
We followed Carlos inside and went to his office.
When asked why he lived in the pack house, he said ’there is no greater way of keeping a pack together, then being a part of it’
You could see on the faces of everyone we passed, how they respected him. Not only as an alpha but also as a friend.
”So,” he said as he closed the door to his office.
It felt like stepping into an old Italian mob suite in the 60’s. He went behind the massive oak desk.
”What can I help you with?” He asked us and grabbed a seat behind his desk.
I looked at Amber to see if she wanted to take lead but got no reaction.
”What do you know about Malia and Raven Villarreal?” His eyes darkened immediately and his body began shaking.
”Dad?” Lydia placed a hand on his arm.
”What is it you want to know?” He seethed.
He might not have wanted to talk about it, but it seemed that he would give us the information we needed.
His question was followed by silence, neither of us knew where to start and it looked like Carlos was about to shift.
After a few minutes, amber was the one to break the silence.
”Malia is my mate.” She blurted out.
Carlos eyes softened as he slumped back in his chair.
”What?” He gasped.

”What are you saying, child?” Carlos asked her as he rose from his seat. Amber sighed. ”Malia and I are mated. I don't care what history our families have or what happened in the past. If she can be okay with it then so can I. I love her, uncle.” She said. Carlos walked around the study and stopped in front of a book shelf. He brought out a smaller journal-looking one with a black leather coverage. ”Here, this will come in handy,” he said and held it out to Amber. ”Uncle-” ”No. I'm sorry, I know what this must be like for you but I cannot dive into history. Some things are meant to be left unspoken.” He said. ”But she’s my mate,” Amber defended, sounding frustrated. ”You’d do well to reject her, Amber. Some things leave unspeakable marks on a person and sometimes on many. Things that cannot be undone. Some fight are not worth fighting.” I could feel Ambers body shaking and her wolf begging to come out. Carlos was telling her to reject her mate. No wolf would accept t

James stepped out and harshly slammed the door behind him. His chest was heaving, his body was rigid and he had grown to his fullest height. We all flew to our feet, covering ourselves up as two others jumped out. It was Alex and Jason. James growled and the guys looked away. I could see the rumbling of Alex’s shoulders from the hidden laughter. James came up to me, his stance was predatory and intimidating as he handed me the clothes. ”Put them on. Now.” I did as instructed and I don't believe I've ever gotten dressed so quickly before. I turned around and saw that Lydia and Amber were dressed too. I gave James a cheeky smile and an innocent glare as I stood there, rooted to my spot. He didn't look amused, if anything, he was about to shift and wreak havoc upon the woods. I placed my hand gently on his chest. James gripped my wrist the second it touched him and pulled me to him, making me slam into his front. ”Did anyone see you?” He asked me in a low growl. I shook my head s

As the men walked into the office, James turned around and faced me, stopping me from entering. ”If you don't mind, please, wait outside. I appreciate privacy in such meetings as these,” he said and raised his brows. I surpassed the urge to thank him and simply gave him a stiff nod, ignoring the glances from the Alpha I arrived with. The door closed and as I heard the lock being turned I quickly turned around and went for the stairs. As soon as I got there, the vision of the woman waiting downstairs was unbelievable. It was as though I was seeing her for the first time, mesmerized by her beauty all over again and I wondered if it would ever be different. I hoped not. Amber stood there, her eyes wide as saucers and before I could think, I ran down and wrapped my arms around her. ”You’re here,” she breathed and hugged me as tightly as I did her. If I could, I would spend the rest of my life in her arms. I pulled back and without a second thought, I slammed my lips on hers. Allo

"Your family is there too, apparently when Crow was done with them, they joined the Celestial Pack," "Jassmine," She breathed. "No, your sister is with your brother, they sent her away," I saw how Averys shoulders slumped and she relaxed knowing her little sister was safe. "That's good," The girls were in James’s office, talking to him and the Beta. I said that I'd rather stay in Averys room as I needed the rest. Being away from my home and close to Amber had brought on a sense of relief and wholeness I didn't know I needed. It also made me exhausted and wanting to catch up on the sleep I had been deprived of. As i laid in Averys bed, I quickly drifted of to sleep, much faster than I ever had before. I had taken a shower and gotten dressed in some clothes that my cousin had given me. I brushed my hair and took a long look in the mirror, barely recognizing the girl staring back at me. I sighed heavily before walking out of the room and down to the dining hall. ”Cousin, pl

~Avery~ I was sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking about the newcomers. James was in the shower and however hard I tried to keep my thoughts un-blurred, images of him standing naked as the water falls over him invaded my mind. The door opened up and my head turned to the God I call mate, standing with only a towel around his glorious hidden parts. I felt my breath hitch in my throat and licked my lips as they grew dry. The need was a savage. The urge to have him in me. He had been toying with me all day, making me wet and begging for more before leaving me to my own fantasies. It was his way of a punishment and it sure was painful.

It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Whereas most werewolves' eyes turn yellow upon turning or when their wolves are in control, Malias were neon green. Xena braced herself, parting her legs and bowing slightly. She was standing in a fighting stance to make sure nothing happened. Malia shifted, she turned into a beautiful dark-grey wolf with white paws. She wasn't much smaller than me. Her wolf started tossing its head back and forth, it looked like they were fighting for control. I looked at Lydia and she walked up to Malias wolf. ”Malia, you need to stop fighting your wolf, you must trust her,” Lydia said. Soon enough her wolf relaxed

”Come one!” ”Harder, faster, better!” ”You fight like my nana, do it again!” I stood by the sidelines, watching the warriors prepare for battle and listening to my brothers' motivational words. I pinched the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes. I had a migraine growing fast and wanted to go find my mate. Avery had been busy with the preparations for the Luna ceremony. I knew she wasn't too stoked about that which was another reason why I had kept my distance. I didn’t want to look at her forced smiles and fake happiness. I wanted her to be genuinely happy about this. I wanted her to want this and not be forced into it.

~Malia~ James, Alex, Lydia, and I were sitting in the common area. Nobody else was there and we weren't doing anything particular. In fact, everyone sat in silence. The air around us was heavy, thick, and tense. I wanted to speak up but I knew that James was pissed about the events that occurred out in the woods. Both with the rogues but also my impromptu shifting and almost killing his mate. I waited. I sat there, completely still in my spot. The air grew thicker and I knew it was only a matter of time before I opened my mouth. I wanted him to go first. I didn't want to disrespect him. ”You can speak, you know,” my rampage of thoughts broke as James spoke. I shifted my gaze, looking at everyone else. I let out a heavy sigh and straightened my back. ”I’

When Amber and James returned, we met them downstairs. Amber looked in awe as Malia walked toward her. Alex and his mate came down the stairs, he was holding Isabella and all three of them looked amazing.Alex had taken his role of uncle as an absolute. There wasn't a day that had gone by without him holding her or making sure that she was alright. No one else had been able to hold her, nobody outside the family, he and James were very alike in that aspect. Very protective.”You look beautiful,” Amber said breathlessly as she wrapped her arms around Malia.I bit my bottom lip and hooked my arm with James’s.We walked to the clearing where Lisa, Jackson, Trisha, Raven, Lucas Lydia, and Micheal were waiting. Amber wiped away a tear as she saw what we had done.”Oh wow,” Amber said.”It looks amazing,” James whispered in my ear. Malia guided Amber onto the cliff and grabbed her hands. ”There is nothing I can say that will ever measure up to how I feel about you, but I promise to show

1 week later. A week had gone by since the war, Amber had adjusted quite well to the life of a vampire. The one thing that had been the hardest and continued to be was the fact that Stella was gone. Amber told me how she sometimes tries to communicate with her wolf but then remembers that she’s alone, there's no one in her mind anymore. I know the feeling, I had only had Xena for a few months and had gotten so used to having her there, the biggest difference was however the fact that I got my wolf back, Amber wasn't going to get Stella back. She had nailed almost every vampire ’super power’ there was, including speed, coercion, healing, and strength. Amber was now the one teaching Lucas, who wasn't as thrilled that the student had become the teacher but he seemed happy nevertheless with the bond he had created with Amber. Damien, my brother, had grown close to Alex, the two were running together, playing pool, and whatnot. Alex and his mate seemed inseparable and the big red bit

”I killed my mother, not because of what she had done to me but because I knew what she would do to you. You’re my family, this, these people, you’re all my family. When he hurt you on the field, he sentenced you to death and I couldn’t…I couldn't let you die, so instead, you were turned. We can't be without you, Amber, nobody here can. Your brothers,” She said and Amber's eyes shakily found her brothers. ”They need you, you three are what’s left of your family and they wouldn't survive without you. Nobody would. Maybe turning you was selfish, because we wanted you to live, but letting you die wasn't an option.” Malia said sternly and let go of Amber's hand. ”So, this will take time and it will be painful and hard but we will get through this. We will help you, Raven will help you adjust to this new life but in the meantime, nobody is going anywhere. We are all here with you,” Raven cleared her throat. ”I actually have to go back, I do have my own responsibilities in my clan,” sh

Raven squatted down next to Amber and cleared away her hair from her neck. She lowered her head, her fangs extended, and just as she was about to bite into Amber's neck, her eyes rose and she looked up at James through her lashes. She then punctured Amber's skin, sinking her fangs into her flesh and releasing the poison. When Raven pulled back, we were all standing and watching them. ”Now what?” I asked when she stood again. ”Now we wait for her to die.” Raven said and wiped her mouth with her thumb then sucked the blood off it. I winced and Lydia hulked. ”What? I'm a vampire, remember,” she said and rolled her eyes. Raven didn't feed on humans, only blood bags so this must’ve been euphoric for her. I walked to the pool table and placed my hands on the surface, leaning back against it. I wasn't going anywhere, not until we found out how Amber would be. She'd wake up, but as a vampire, everything would be different. Werewolves are taught to hate vampires. Always have been,

Natasha came running into the pack house, William was close behind her but he walked as though we had all the time in the world. Lydia came as well and seeing her was such a relief but we didn't have the time to relish in it for too long. William nodded his head towards me. ”Her.” He said and all eyes turned on me. ”Her what?” I asked him. ”You can help her.” ”Help Amber? How? I don't even know what’s wrong with her,” I felt helpless, I had become dependent on my magic but I didn't have that anymore. What did I have to could help Amber? ’Me’ Xena ’You have me, Avery. I'm back now and we will learn to work together again’ I’m sorry… I forgot ’It’s alright, I've been gone for a while’ the sadness clenched my heart. I had forgotten that she was back but to be fair, she had been gone for a long time. ’Not on purpose’ Xena growled. I keep forgetting that you can hear my thoughts. It’s creepy ’Just place your hands on either side of her head’ Xena said as she rolled her
The Knights Revenge Chapter 70.
We were heading home to the pack house, I was holding our child and James was walking beside me. It didn't feel real, I didn't know when reality would hit and this would feel normal, perhaps it never would but nevertheless, we had created a life. As we walked into the house it was quiet except for some hushed whispers. We walked into the common area and saw everyone in our family sitting around, waiting. Amber was the first one to come up, she covered her mouth with her hands and looked down on the baby. ”Oh my goddess, you made this,” She said in awe. I laughed and James smiled. Amber held her in her arms and Alex came up to meet his niece. ”What’s her name?” He asked. I looked at James. ”Isabella-” I said. ”Isabella Lilly Knight.” Alex and Amber both looked at us. Amber gazed at her brother, wiping away a tear. ”Your sister and our mother.” She said and nodded her head before watching Isabella again. ”It’s perfect,” she said. ”We never truly met, I'm Chelsea,” I

I didn’t look at James, I already knew the death glare he was throwing Williams way and I didn't want him to see the fear in my eyes. I kept my gaze locked on William, he wasn't bothered by James in the slightest. Both me and James knew that this had to be done, there was no other way and if going through this pain was what I had to do to save my baby girl, then I would and I knew that deep down James did too. I heard a low growl, one that turned all heads to the Alpha. ”It’s okay, James, you know it is,” I said quietly and looked at him. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were hooded but a slight nod, one so small that I would've missed it if I hadn't looked carefully, said everything I needed to know. ”Let’s do this,” I said and looked at William. His gruff expression didn't change, his head was still lowered, his eyes looking up at me through his lashes and his long hair fluttered in the breeze. William closed his eyes, he inhaled, his chest rising and his head lifted. He

I felt the power surge through me, having to push away the thought of what the magic was feeding off. ”I’m so sorry,” I whispered to my baby. I felt my hands heating up, reaching my fingertips and I placed them over his heart. The darkness was consuming, it embodied me and I allowed it, allowed it to take whatever it wanted as long as it brought me back my brother. ”Look,” Amber whispered through her tears to Raven. My eyes were closed but I felt it, I felt his pain, his life, his threads of existence and I healed it. I heard a breath and felt his heart beginning to beat slowly, his blood circling, and then I opened my eyes. Alex was watching me with hooded eyes, his shaking hand came up and his fingers wrapped around my hands, squeezing them tightly. I cried even harder. ”You promised you wouldn't leave me again,” I cried and saw how the tears fell from his eyes. Alex's lip tugged upwards but he didn't have the energy to fully smile. I saw in his eyes how happy he was
The Knights Revenge Chapter 67.
I drew the fire and had it circling us all, the flames were cutting into thin air and moving vigorously around the enemies. With one hand I raised a shield over Amber and Malia and urged Alex to get himself and his mate behind it. But he was hurt, Alex was still bleeding and his face had turned pale and his lips were blue. Raven saw what I tried to do and with her speed, she grabbed Alex and placed him by his sister and then his mate. I held up the shield but Nicholas looked awfully cocky. Something I didn't like. ”You think you’re the only witch around here?” He asked and brought forward a man, long white hair, obsidian eyes, and an altogether dark expression. He raised his hands, circling them before pushing them up against the sky. The flames were uncontrolled, they were slashing at everything, including my own people. One of the flames cut through the shield and I heard Alex scream. It had hit his mate, her face was burnt. I circled my hands again, regaining control but o
