LIAM POV Mom is practically jogging as we head towards the stream the pack used to retrieve our Luna. Her heartbeat is running wild, and I know she is in pain, but I can't bring myself to comfort her. I don't know what to say.Thomas and I didn't grow up together. He was the eldest out of us and a good fifty, some odd years older than me. We were family but not friends. I loved him, but not like mom and dad loved him. I have no idea how to feel about losing my brother. I haven't ever lost anyone before. "It's okay, Brittany. I smell him," Alpha says to calm mom down, and I sniff the air. My siblings all do the same as me, and mom sighs out in relief.Dad's familiar scent is mixed with two others, so it's hard to find in the faint breeze, but after a few moments, I pinpoint him, and so do my siblings. Kelsey shoots me a sad glance, and I nod to signal I smell it too.One of the scents mixed with dad is definitely Thomas, but his smell is all wrong. His typical cedar smell is mix
SARA PO "Octavius, I really am fine. We can't control who your mom pairs," I whisper, and Tav growls. "I can feel your anger and your pain, Sara. My mother has knowingly and purposefully forced the person who killed your mother into your life. I will not stand for that," Tav snaps, and my eyes drop away from his face as we enter the big house. I feel so much rage towards Marina about what she did, but there are other feelings too. Feelings that make me feel ashamed because she killed my mother and framed my father. But Marina is a victim too... "Can you get my father out," I whisper, and Octavius looks down at me. "Yes. I will do that first thing tomorrow," he replied instantly, and I nod. "Then that's all that needs to be done. Tell him to disappear. I don't want to see him. I just don't want him going to prison for something he didn't do," I whisper, and Octavius places me on the bed we now share. His blue eyes look me over worriedly, and I give him a small smile bef
Authors Note: The Human is book number one. The New Age King is book number two. I highly suggest reading book one before reading the sequel, but if you don't want to you can manage the second without doing so. The one big thing in the first book was Goddess Selene's curse. She cursed all lycans to be born in wolf form. Their first shift wasn't until the age of ten. Thank you so much for reading."Please, Selene, slow down. Where are we going," I ask as the Goddess in front of me practically sprints down the wide corridor?Selene makes no sign of hearing me and presses forward at the same speed. Forcing me to run to keep up with her. It continues like this for a while until she reaches a door that looks like it has been carved out of the night sky. Stars included."Wow," I breathe out in amazement.Selene stops and brushes her han
OCTAVIUS 10 YEARS OLD The grass tickles my feet lightly as I run through the peaceful field that reminds me of my mother's home. But while it reminds me of my mother's safe place, I know it isn't hers. There is a hidden tension here, almost like a sinister secret. Plus, I can't contact with Beerus here. My wolf is always with me. In my mother's realm, he runs beside me instead of being inside me. "Hello," I call, trying to locate whoever made this new dreamland. I usually travel to my mother's when I sleep, not here. I have never been here before. Father says I should never go anywhere new without him. I hope he doesn't get onto me. I didn't choose to come here. Plus, I am strong. I don't know why he doesn't think I can protect myself. "Well, hello," a calm
AMBER POV I never want to see my son cry again. It felt like my heart was splitting with every tear that fell from his crystal blue eyes. But this has to be done. I need advice on what to do next. Selene and Anniki both know more about the fairies than I do. But I hate leaving my realm. I made my realm in the Earth's time flow so I would always be there with him. So I would never miss anything, and here I am, leaving for the next four years—one stupid day in Selene's time.Selene couldn't keep track of the werewolves because her realm is so far away. So when I made mine, I corrected that problem.I hated that she cursed the werewolves and left them for centuries without even a second thought. And while I do respect her, I swore to do better than her. I will walk amongst my wolves. I will create every
OCTAVIUS (15 YRS OLD) "You can not go all out on your sparing partners, Tav," Father growls as he grabs me by my arm and yanks me to a stop. I growl a little at the reprimand, but my head still drops respectfully. "You broke Garret's arm! He will have to spend the rest of the day healing! You mind telling me what that was about," Father shouts while letting his Alpha aura out. I shrug, and he throws my arm away from him. "That's not a good enough answer, Octavius. You are the Alpha in training. The pack needs to be able to trust you. Garret was not expecting you to go from basic combat to kill mode in thirty seconds. You could have ripped his arm off," Father declares, and guilt manages to push past my annoyance. I didn't mean to go all out on my friend, but my mind had wande
PLEASE LEAVE REVIEWS IT HELPS MY STORIES!!! I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN IMPROVE OR WHAT I AM DOING RIGHT. THANK YOU OCTAVIUS POV (rated R) I sigh again while shifting in my bed. I have been trying to go to sleep. I know it's too early, but I need to see if mom is back. I also need to escape the shit-show that is this day. I still haven't apologized to dad, but I figure I can do that in the morning. I'm not ready for another lecture. I finally find a comfortable spot, and I smile as my body relaxes. Beerus- How are people finding their mates without your mom? Beerus's question makes my eyes fly open. I was seconds away from dowsing off, but his question caught me off guard. Who has been covering my mother's duties? Octavius- I have no idea. I hadn't even thought about it. I admit to my wolf as I sit up in my bed. Did she leave her duties unfulfilled? I know she had plenty of wolves made for upcoming pups, but who is choosing the mates? Octavius- Dang it, Beerus! Why did you
AMBER POV "Okay. I understand the concept, but we need to think about this. I have spent a great deal of time watching and observing the werewolves, and I think other things need adjusting. We might as well fix everything while I am here," I say as Selene goes to sit down in mid-air. "Like what things," Selene asks, and I sigh. "Well, for one, mates will no longer be knotting each other. The new age wolves aren't of age yet, so none of them have met their mate, but they are very different than your lycans. I believe you should adjust your mate curse. The adjustment will tie into my curse because while you were teaching me, I did think of an issue," I explain, and Anniki grins. "Let me guess, human mates," Anniki says, and I nod while returning her smile. "Exactly," I reply, and Selene shrugs.
SARA PO "Octavius, I really am fine. We can't control who your mom pairs," I whisper, and Tav growls. "I can feel your anger and your pain, Sara. My mother has knowingly and purposefully forced the person who killed your mother into your life. I will not stand for that," Tav snaps, and my eyes drop away from his face as we enter the big house.

OCTAVIUS POV My irritation at being disturbed disappears as my eyes lock with Brittany's pain-filled face. Behind her stands her and Garrett's remaining pups, making me feel even worse. "Please! I can't lose him too. I feel him in my heart, Alpha. He is tearing himself apart. He needs us, please," Brittany begs, and my head actually falls in shame. I should have drug him home, but I wanted to give him space to grieve. I never even considered how painful that would be for Garrett's family. I mainly care only about him. But he is tied to his mate as I am tied to mine now. "I don't know if the siren is still close by. We can try, but I think I will have to involve my mother in this to get him back," I say as my eyes drift back up to hers. She nods and immediately begins to head towards the exit. I glance back at Sara to find she has thrown on a comfy outfit. She smiles at me as she heads my way and grabs my hand. "Let's go get him," She whispers, and I smile. My mate feels
MARINA POV Garrett growls viciously as I finally step out of the bushes I have been hiding in, and I freeze. One wrong move, and I know the grieving wolf will rip me in half, but for some reason, I don't want to leave him. His pain is calling to me. "I have smelled you since you showed back up, fish. Why can't you let me mourn in peace," Garrett snarls without looking away from his child's burnt corpse. I sigh and sink down to my knees. I lick my lips nervously as I try to shift through the jumbled thoughts in my brain. Flashes from my own pain fill my mind and I close my eyes. "Grieving alone or with company doesn't matter. It still hurts," I whisper back after a few seconds as I reopen my eyes. The heartbroken wolf actually looks at me. His bloodshot eyes and tear-stained cheeks hit my heart hard. I try to keep the sympathy and pity out of my eyes, but I know he can see it. "I don't know how to grieve. Lucian is the last person I grieved for. I was only a pup then
SARA POV RATED R MATURE Octavius's eyes darken as we smile at each other, and his head moves towards mine as mine moves towards his. Our lips connect like magnets, and we both begin to devour each other. My fear explodes into passion, and I lose myself in the sensual feel of his lips on mine. Our bond rages and Octavius's hands begin to explore my body. I moan into his mouth as his thumb presses my nipple, and he growls deep. "I need you, Sara. Please be mine for all eternity. Let me mark you and seal your life to mine. I want you with me always," Octavius mumbles against my lips, and my heart rate triples with excitement. "Yes! Yes, make me yours, Tav," I say as I draw back and stare into his pale eyes. He growls loudly and flips us around on the bed. My hair flairs out around me as my back lands on the mattress, and I stare up at the dirty God that I love with all my heart. "I fucking love you! I am so happy I never met my first mate, Sara. You are my everything! I wo
SARA POV "Are you okay," Marina whispers as we travel through the water in a bubble she manipulated with a song. I glance at her before looking back at the beautiful magic all around me. I don't know what to feel towards the creature that has caused me so much heartache. Even talking to her makes me feel uncomfortable now, knowing what I know. "Just terrific," I mumble, and Marina sighs a little before beginning to sing a new song. We travel for a few more moments, and the bubble starts to rise. When the bubble is completely out of the water, it gradually slows to a stop and pops. I grin at the waiting wolves when I spot Jannah's relieved face. "I understand how you must feel, but please believe me when I say that I never meant you any ill will. I was doing everything in my power to save a sister I thought to be alive. Your mother's life was a price I chose to pay for both you and my sister. I wish I could bring her back for you, and I am so sorry I believed Dagahra. I
OCTAVIUS POV Now that Sara is safe, I need to get to Garrett. He is being careless with his attacks, and several warriors have already alerted me to his vulnerability. If I don't get to his side soon, we will also lose him, which is something I can not handle. Sara, Jannah, and Garrett are essential to my life.Tav- Garrett, where are you? Nothing comes through my link, so I switch to plan B. I take deep sniffs of the air. I shift through the layers of smoke and blood until I pinpoint my cousin's scent. Beerus growls as we both lock onto the scents around him as well. My cousin is surrounded! I howl as I shift into my four-legged form. Adrenaline pumps through my blood, and I practically fly through the trees and brush to reach him in time. Warriors flank me as I run, but they aren't fast enough to keep up. Within moments I find my beta singed and fighting a yellowish-orange beast with long talons. Instead of helping him with his opponent, I attack the small blue dragon waiting
SARA POV Dagahra grins evilly, and pure panic sets in. This is it. I am going to get burnt to a crisp just like Marina's family. At least my death will be fast. But I don't want to die. There is so much I want to do in my life that I won't be able to. I will never be able to mate with Octavius. I will never get to have sex with the man I love. I never even got to tell my father I know it wasn't him. I never got to graduate or have children. My life was so short. "There's no need for her now," Dagahra says, and his mouth begins to open. I squeeze my eyes close and brace for the inevitable pain, but it doesn't come. Instead, I hear a growl and then a high-pitched scream. My eyes fly open, and I see Octavius punch the green dragon that showed up only a couple of minutes ago. She falls to the ground dead, and I shift my eyes to my would-be murderer. I watch as Dagahra stares at my mate with a mixed expression of fear and shock. I want to laugh and point at him, but I am still to
OCTAVIUS POV Pain is shooting up my back, relentlessly as I take off with my pack on my heels. I never imagined what it would truly be like to feel her pain and not be able to do anything about it. It is terrifying. Beerus and I are going crazy. I am so angry at Marina. I want to shred her, but the blinding fear in my gut is too much to see past. Anything that gets me to Sara faster can live. At least for a little while longer. Garrett- Do you think she is being truthful? This could be a trap. You have the majority of the pack's warriors running into this, and we are blind. We don't know their numbers or their strategy. Octavius- It doesn't matter. I will kill them all. You can turn around for all I care. My mate is being hurt! Garrett-...Are you feeling something? Octavius- Yes. All over my back. Garrett- Fuck. Octavius- It's the only reason the siren is still breathing. Garrett- Got it. Beerus growls as Garrett's voice fades. He doesn't like our beta acting as if runni
