(ELYN)

The sun was warm on my skin, and the breeze was toasty. I could feel Ares's look on my back, piercing me as I walked away. He was almost burning holes in my fucking head, and I had an itch to turn back and show my middle finger, but I didn't.

My legs felt weak. I didn't want to go.

I knew that there were even cruel, terrible things outside the Turquoise Falls and that was why I stayed there. Because... I knew. I had tried walking away from Turquoise Falls once, and it didn't go as planned. If it wasn't for one brutish, hot-tempered stranger, I would have long been dead.

My heart burned and my eyes, too, and I didn't know why I was so angry, or why I felt like stomping through the woods, but I did. As I walked further into the woods, I took in a deep breath, trying so hard not to scream or sob or march back and rip Ares's throat out.

"Stop thinking too much about that idiot," I thought to myself as I walked further inside the waiting arms of trees, until I was surrounded

    (ARES) I should feel happy. She was finally gone. This was what I had wanted the moment I realized she wasn't the woman I wanted, she wasn't my revenge, and yet here I was... staring straight into the woods where she had disappeared into a few hours ago, my heart twisting in confusion and panic. My stomach was made of tight knots that just wouldn't unknot. It wasn't like we were around each other every minute of every day. In fact, I had tried to avoid her most of the time. But now knowing she wouldn't be there stuffing her face with whatever Carella had made... or watching Dragons making love in the TV like she owned the whole pack house... it didn't feel right. Nothing did. It felt like someone was sitting in my stomach, digging a big pit. I poured a glass of Wolven bourbon and took a swig, and winced when the hot liquid burned my throat. Warm wind messed my hair. I had things to do. I had to pay the vendors, put in the order for new weapons, calculate the budget for next month.

    (ELYN) Dorrian grabbed me by my hair and dragged me deep into the alley. I dug my heels in and tried to shake him off, but he was like a fucking bull. I felt like my hair would come right off my skull. It stung and my eyes watered involuntarily from the pain. The pain was unbearable... but it was the fear... I knew this alley was rarely used, and for the first time since this psycho pressed his knife against my throat, I was truly scared. The first time was luck. I didn't think I would have the same luck now. Especially now that he had vengeance in his eyes. It had been three years, and why did he have to find me right now, right when I was alone? Was this some kind of sick fate? Fuck me for getting into this situation. I should have kept my mouth shut and stayed in Ares' pack. I mean, I knew for all his bark, he would never bite. "Stop resisting, you fucking bitch, you are not going anywhere, and no one is coming to save you," the bastard growled out as he shook my head, my hair

    (ARES) She sat there for a long time, staring at Storm, her hand pressed against his fur, in the surrounding silence. He was content just sitting there with her. "I want to shift," I said to Storm. Usually, the shift worked perfectly well when Storm and I were in perfect sync, but when the wolf didn't want to shift... it was usually a big problem. "I think I would like to be here with her. She is already shaken, and I don't want you to mess it up anymore than it already is. So I think I will stay with her for a while," Storm said with a sigh as she ran her fingers through his fur, still shuddering. I could feel her body shaking. She had stopped crying, but she wasn't fully alright yet. "I am not an asshole. I will not talk about that right now, at least not when she looks like she eats wolves like us for breakfast," I said with a wince. She had long red, bloody lines along her cheek, and I remembered the time I called her powerless. This woman here was not powerless. She looked p

    (MELI) Lissa and I spent the whole day talking, and then we walked along the busy streets of the market square. I could smell the scent of perfume, herb and incense floating in the air. Every shop boasted herbs, potions, animal parts, magical artefacts and strange baubles. I stopped in front of a cart and stared at the mystic cupcakes. It had a frosting like a magical universe and my mouth watered. Usually Melvorians didn't like wolves, because there was a long history of animosity between witches and wolves, but Lissa and I had become friends when we were in college, when we were in Zarique, which was a neutral territory. Colored lights lit the dark pebbled road as Lissa told me a story about something. The voices were talking over each other, but it was like music, the strange sound ringing above the market square. "One mystic cupcake, with blue delphinium frosting," I said to the witch standing in front of the shop. She gave me a mean look before she nodded and grabbed the cup

    (ELYN) I didn't expect it. I was waiting for him to refuse it, deny us of something that could bring both of us some pleasure, and reprieve, as he had always done, but... "Well, maybe I will reveal my secret this one time!" His voice was a deep, dark growl, that destroyed every piece of sanity that had hung in me. His hand was rough on my skin, demanding. Did I hear it right? Or was I hallucinating? I looked into his eyes, and my breath hitched from the power swirling in his eyes. The need. It was like a tornado, and I had to keep my feet firmly planted on the ground, or he would bring me to places I didn't want to go. No heart. No feelings. Only pleasure. Despite the need pulsing inside me, I knew I couldn't fully cross the line. Crossing the line meant heartbreaks I couldn't afford. His jaws clenched as he gave me a look that made my legs tremble. My body chanted for more of him, and maybe this incessant, insane whorl of need would stop when I finally had him, the way I had

    (MELI) Leon stared at me with those penetrating brown eyes, that reminded me of the golden wolven whiskey with small gold dust floating inside them. I was drunk from his eyes. "So..." I nervously whispered. I didn't know what happened after this. I never thought I would meet my mate in the middle of the witch realm, out of nowhere. I wasn't prepared for this. Just a few days ago, I was whining about the way Ares looked at Elyn, and now this strange man was looking at me, almost like that. "It is strange, isn't it? We have never met each other and here we are, connected somehow," he said as he took a step towards me. I took an involuntary step back. "Sorry, I am not trying to scare you or anything." "I don't know what to do right now." My thoughts were running wild, and I didn't know what I was going to do about this. I felt sweaty, even though my wolf was very, very excited. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to, Meli. We have time to get to know each other. A lot of

    (ARES) I slammed the door close behind me knowing very well she wouldn't do anything I asked for. I knew she wouldn't stay put, of course. When had she ever did anything I asked for? Never. But for now, I only cared about the man, the one who destroyed my family, standing in my doorstep. How dare he! The fucking bastard. Anger pulsed inside me as something dark and sinister twisted in my gut. I wanted to rip him from limb to limb and then hack him into pieces, until he was no more. I had dreamed of the day I could get to do this. For now, my pack needed to come back from the loss of their previous Alpha and their beloved Luna. I had to concentrate on building my pack. But there would come a day, and that day he would regret what he did to Andrea and Brian. I would make sure of that. One day or the other, I would pay the debt with interest. I stomped down the stairs, my head whirling with thoughts and memories. I tried to put a stop to them, but I couldn't. Everything in me screamed

    (ARES) His body went rigid when he crossed her room. "I could smell her here. You lied." He pushed the door to Elyn's room open, and sniffed and his eyes turned sad as he looked around. But of course, she wasn't there. "Can you?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Can you also scent something else?" "You are taunting him, you fucker. I love you!" Storm cheered. "Well, I am still not sure what I feel about you..." Liam's eyes narrowed and then he gasped as he took a step back, as if I had just punched him in his gut. The eyes that looked back at me were full of violence and grief, and I realized... the bastard loved her, too, whether or not he knew it, and he was mated to her sister. And I also realized that I hated it. I hated everything about him, too. "If you consider her as a friend, you will go back and tell her father she isn't here. At all." My voice came out harsher than I intended, but I didn't care. I looked at Liam Black's rigid back and I felt a strange sense of satisfact

    (ELYN) They didn’t let me stand up. My body ached as Coulton kicked me again, and then followed it with a kick and another. My jaw hurt like hell. I used my magic to deter them, to heal myself, but mine was so weak right now when compared to theirs. It was as if their magic was feeding off their anger. "Goddess, please..." I whispered. Robert hissed as he kicked the side of my chin. My jaw felt like it was one fire. "My father was right. We should eradicate abominations like you. You shouldn't have been allowed to live, not even after you lost your power. They should have just killed you all and be done with it. Because you are roaches and you come back to life again and again. I will crush you beneath my feet and then our world would be free.” "You aren't escaping this time, bitch. You hurt my father, and you will pay for that. You will pay for it with your own blood and pain." Robert hissed. Lord Coulton looked at his son, a proud smile on his face. "Lord Coulton, you and

    (ELYN) Zien looked at me. “I am sorry I had to ask so much of you. I wish I didn’t have to.” He looked apologetic as Storm and the other Lycan warriors walked inside. "It is hard, but I think I will survive this, because I have all of you, and this is my responsibility, too. You didn’t ask me more than I had to give. This is my war, too. The Vampires made it so. I was wrong to say it is not my war.” "You are not really wrong. It is not really your war, but you are part of all of this, even if you don't want it. I am sorry," Zien said. “Somehow, our destiny is tangled.” “The stone and dagger came to me. And now, I truly did trust that it was my destiny. So, Vinc- dad…” Vincys looked at me with wide eyes. He looked surprised, but there was also a hint of a smile on his lips as he looked at me with a nod. We walked inside, but it was so quiet inside. Something didn’t feel very right. "This is- this doesn't feel right," Nix said, looking agitated. “Something is so wrong. Everything

    (RAVEN) I couldn’t sleep. How could I, when I knew my friends were out there, and fighting for their lives? I couldn’t stop thinking about Zien and Elyn and the other wolves. Somehow, they had become a part of my life, too, and I didn’t mind they had. When I first walked into this pack, I only had disdain, but now, I loved everyone here. Especially… I shook my head and jumped up from my bed. This was going to be a long, sleepless night and I was already thirsty thinking about Brian and how it felt when we danced together. I smiled a little as I walked out of my room, thinking about what Azalea said. She was awesome, and I wanted her to be my daughter, too. I knew it was greedy, but I couldn’t stop wanting for things that didn’t belong to me. Brian had slowly become himself and I could see how handsome he looked now that he wasn’t only covered in bones. “You alright? Can’t sleep?” I turned to see Vincys sitting at the table, drinking water. He motioned me to sit with him. I took

    (ELYN) (A week later…) It was calm. But the calm wouldn’t last. The whispers were coming once again. The darkness was waiting. And I knew. We knew it wasn’t over yet, but this time, we didn’t want to wait. We found out from Rebecca that the dark vampires had holed up in the woods of Dorchas. "Let’s go.” I looked at Zien and he smiled. “It seems like the others have abandoned Lord Coulton.” “It seems like that. I told you we can trust Rebecca,” I said to him and he gave me a look and rolled his eyes. “And the sexual tension…” “What sexual tension? Shut up,” he said, but I saw the look in his eyes and smirked to myself and Ares shook his head, poking a finger against my head. ''I am leaving." Rebecca came back from talking with Meli. She stopped as she looked at me. "If you can talk some sense into him... not all of us are bad. Assuming that doesn't make him better than them," she mumbled under her breath as she watched Zien with a frown. "We can't withstand another war." I did

    (RAVEN) I laughed and stopped when Brian looked up, and his blue eyes met mine. I felt like I couldn’t breathe properly when he looked at me like that. He was so beautiful, and I feel it now... something, some kind of connection between us. This was getting beyond ridiculous. I had never been someone who hesitated to take what she wanted, and I knew I wanted him. But why could I not make a fucking move? Why was I so scared all of a sudden? “Ah, yes, yes, of course, your aunt Elyn is something else,” Brian said. “Now go on. What do you want from me, little girl? Dad will do anything for you.” “I know, daddy, and I want you to dance with Raven.” “Yes?” “Why do I have to explain every little thing?” “My Goddess, Cookie, how old are you? Fifty?” “I am turning six in a month,” she giggled before pushing him towards me. I stared at him as he hesitated for a second before he smiled and shrugged. “Want to dance? I think my daughter will punch me in the nose if I didn’t do that?” “Y

    (ELYN) The music started back again. Despite the night we just had, I felt fresh, I felt happy. We had won this battle. Of course, there was a war to come, but I had a feeling it would be more Zien's war than mine, I think, but even if it was mine, I had all of the people around me, and I knew I would survive it too. I was happy with what I had now. I would help him, but once he had his kingdom back, I knew he wouldn't need me much. "Flower, pretty girl," I said to Azalea, and she pouted. "It is almost empty." "It is fine, Cookie. This is perfect as it is. Everything is perfect." Vincys and Sienna stood on either side of me as I walked towards my mate. He was wearing a t-shirt that was one size small, and his beautiful body was for everyone to see, but it was only for me to touch and do as I pleased. From that first moment I met him in his study. "Ours." Nix said with a deep sigh and I laughed. "I kinda hate that I have to share, but since you are mine... okay," I said as I fin

    (ELYN) The dark vampire’s power expanded around him, like a protective shield. I leaped towards him and plunged the Dagger into the field of power around him. I hadn’t really expected it to do anything, but I was wrong. The shield, like glass, shattered around him and his eyes widened as I thrust the dagger into his chest. My eyes widened along with him as blood gushed out of his wounds. He moved back. “Oh,” I whispered softly as my fingers trembled as I pulled the Dagger out of his wound. I cringed when I saw the same black vines spreading from his wound. I stared at my hand drenched in blood. I hadn’t really thought of killing him, but I knew I did what I had to do. One of the Vampire grabbed him, their anger overwhelming. A tall man with pointy fangs, pointed a finger at me. “Our realm will never belong to you. We will make sure of that.” “We will see about that,” Zien said with a dark look in the direction of the Dark Vampires. “Dorchas belongs to me. I am its rightful own

    (ELYN) I saw thick black veins forming on his pale white skin.His body shuddered as his face morphed in pain, and a soft hiss left his lips as he glared at me, his eyes piercing red. My body trembled in response. My heart twisted as I looked at the men staring at us, and the wolves behind me. They all looked stunned, and their eyes were focused on the Dagger in my hand. The blood stone glowed. "What the- what the hell is this?" Even I was stunned by what was happening. He growled in anger as he whirled around, his angry eyes burning holes into mine. "You stupid girl. You stupid, stupid girl,” he hissed as he waved his hand and I was thrown back. Storm gave me a hand. I pulled myself up. “I will destroy you for this. I will destroy all of you.” His pale skin looked even paler. His fangs gleamed. He was afraid. I could see it in his eyes, his fear. His desperation. “You okay?” Storm whispered and I looked into the soft brown and blue eyes of the Lycan and nodded. He looked worried

    (ELYN) My beautiful dress... I sighed as I kicked the vampire who just ripped a hole in my sleeve. I stabbed him with the dagger, and he screamed and stepped away as if he was being scorched. A loud wail left his lips. Using his momentary distraction, I kicked him in his head with a growl. My wolf wanted to come out and play, but not yet. I am liking this game. He felt to the ground with a scream and the wolves were ready for him. They fought viciously, without giving him a chance to run away. But soon I saw more and more vampires coming from the east and west side, flanking us, but the Lycans were relentless, and hard, their resolve unwavering. Some of them were shooting arrows and some just used their claws to rip these vampire assholes into pieces. "This is going to be difficult," I whispered to Nix and she let out a deep sigh. "I know. But I have a feeling we will win this." "You are an optimistic person, maybe because, Nix, you haven't really seen life. Not much. But I thin
