We both stood there with our mouth open and in shocked. They are Hybrids but how is that possible, its extremely rear to be half wolf half warlock/witch hybrids, but for the three of them to be powerful together which meant there's a secrets in the Alphas idiot sons. Maybe this isn't a bad thing maybe I could use this as a way to keep them of my back until we are out of here, Noel tired to move pass me but Azura growl at him warning him to stay put.
Rolling his eyes Noel pushed my hand away and stood next to me. Azura and I glared at him but as normal he really couldn't give one fuck about it. The tension between the three idiots and us were high and judging by the way their body vibrated it is only time before they shift again. Blowing a breath I prop my hands on my hips and took a step forward, "What are you guys doing here, weren't you supposed to be on the north side", I questioned titling my head to the side while keeping my eyes on all three of them. Is it me or did they get more cute in the thirty minutes. "Its us", Azura answered causing me to scoff. Landon took a step forward but instead of saying anything he just fell, only then did I notice the blood running down his legs. Aaron, Oliver and I rushed toward him while Noel stood watch over the rouge. Before I could even touch him Oliver block me pushing me away, "STAY AWAY", he shouted "Don't be a fucking idiot man, she can help", Noel said coming to my rescue. He was about to protest again when the rouge started laughing behind Noel, "Finally we got one", He laugh but was soon groaning from the punch Noel hit him with. Aaron raised his head toward me with a pleading look in his eyes, "I can", With a nod Aaron pulled Oliver over to the side allowing me to sit next to Landon, placing my hand carefully over the wound I can feel his energy and I knew he would be able to hear me, "Landon open up your mind for me", I whispered, closing my eyes I connected with him instantly and let the power flow through me to him, despite healing both Noel and myself I will still able to heal Landon enough for his wolf to take over. Opening my eyes I looked down to the wound and saw liquid silver coming out. That would explain why pretty boy here collapse. Aaron and Oliver came over looking at there brother as the silver leaked out the wound. Deciding to give them a moment I stood and walked over to the rouge, both Noel and I stood in front of the man who was smiling thinking they killed Landon. Noel just looked at me then at the guy and shook his head, leaning on the tree next the rouge Noel made sure to keep an eye on the alpha trio while I get to work. "Well I was going to keep you alive to send a message back to your alpha but that can't happen now can it, you have seen to much", I said as I kneel down to pull my silver dagger from my boots, fun fact silver have no affect on me as I'm half hunter. The booming laugh echo around us causing Aaron and Oliver to look over, "And who is going to kill me? You?", the man laughed again but rather than get a response from I pressed the dagger from the left to the right side on his chest cutting and burning his skin, his laughter turned to groans of pain as I moved the dagger lower to his stomach then finally stabbed his leg. His screams were loud enough that Landon woke up startle. "Not so smug now are you", Noel laughed "You fucking bitch", the rouge shouted, "Yea heard that one before, now before I kill you do you have any useful information for me, if you do I will grant you a quick death if not, welllll Noel need to learn how to gut a wolf with out dirtying his clothes, you know what they say practice makes perfect", I sing song while twisting and pulling the dagger out from his leg. I could feel all three pair of eyes behind me but if its something both Noel and I learned a long time ago is, we do not take our eyes of our enemy until we killed them. The rouge started trashing and tried to shift but from the silver infused rope and the cut on his leg he couldn't, we watched as he twist and wiggle trying to loosen the rope. After ten minutes Noel yawned and that's our signal to finish up. Flipping the dagger up in the air and catching it by the blade I raised it to toss at the rogue but he started shouting for me to stop, "stop, stop, stop, look I don't know much, all I know is he is trying to get a young girl, he says she's some sort of magical white wolf and he's working with vampires as well, I swear that's all I know", he cried. Well that's new information clearly something big is going on, looks like we need another road trip. "Thank you for the information, and this is for every person who lost a member to your alpha", With that I stabbed the man, then using my strength I pushed my hand into his chest and pulled out his heart, that shit always hurt but I had an audience and I needed them to know how dangerous I was, if not for me for Noel, his safety matters the most to me. Turning around I threw the heart for Oliver then started to leave with Noel hot on my heels, just as we reached our car the scent of oranges fill my nose, then a hand grabbed my elbow, and here I was hoping for a bad ass exit with throwing the heart and shit. Groaning I turned around which was a big mistake seeing as I didn't know he was so close, close enough that I could smell the blood coming out of him, close enough to feel his perfectly muscular abs and close enough to see how fucking good looking he is, son of a bitch. Noel being the ass that he is cleared his throat then came and stood behind me placing both hands on my shoulders pulling me back into him. Landon eyes narrowed on the placement of Noel hands then focus his attention back on my face. In the back of Landon I could see Aaron and Oliver examining the body then his eyes glaze over for a second before refocusing on us again, "Amm can you go remove the rope the guys want to get rid of the body", he said as he looked to Noel who squeezed my shoulder silently asking if its ok, with a nod he left to go help out the other two alpha's. "So I just want to say thank you for saving my life", he said bracing on the car, from here it looks like his wolf is healing to slow, rolling my eyes I step up to him, then place my hand on his cut and with the little energy I had left I completely healed him. When I looked up at him I was stunned to see he was already looking down at me but that's not what stunned me, it was the emotion in his eyes, maybe I'm reading to much into it but to me it looked like admiration. Taking a step back I place my hand on my hips and glared at him, it's my defense mechanism, I don't need them to see me now not when Noel and I have stuff to do. "I didn't do it for you, I did it for your father, I owe him a lot and don't think for a second I forgot what you guys did to Noel today", I said expecting a harsh word throw back at me like they did before, but, the hurt that flash through his eyes and the slump in his shoulder rendered me speechless. You see Landon’s different, when we first got here I realized that he has a really soft side to him but he doesn’t open up to anyone other that his brothers and I understand wholeheartedly but when he’s being sincere like now and getting that response from me must of thrown him of a little .Landon nod his head then turn and left me by the car. I watched as he went up to the guys, then clasp his hand on Noel shoulders while exchanging a few word. After a few minutes Noel came back to me then we were of to the home. First we ditch the car then went home to shower. By the time we finished our chores and had dinner I was drained my body could no longer stand, that's the thing with using my powers it always drain my body of energy. Noel noticed my exhaustion and without another though, he slipped under the covers dragged his arms over me just holding me, letting me know I’m safe, with the security of Noel around me it didn’t take long for my eye lids to close then I was out. The next morning started of as normal until we got to school, as normal the three alpha's was sitting on their cars but instead of feeling a sense of dread I normally feel I almost feel invisible. As both Noel and I walked to class no one called us any names or tried to trip me or even pulled my back of my backpack. We still got side glances but nothing bad happen. The morning classes passes by horribly slow and with my body already in a weak state I was finding it especially hard to stay away awake. By lunch Noel was more paranoid than ever, with me being so weak it would be an easy attack on both of us. He tried to get me to eat but I couldn't, I just wanted to sleep. We were both laying out in the grass after lunch since we had a free period when I got a scent of something, its not a wolf I know that for sure, Azura was to weak to help me and despite my sleepy state I stood and sniff the air. "Vampire", she whisper. Soon enough a man dressed in all black stepped out of the tree line. From where we were standing we could see his crisp black shirt encase in his expensive black suit with a black tie hanging around his neck, his attire made no sense to me, why even wear a tie when you can hardly see it. His pale skin, yellowish eyes, dark hair stood out against the black but what caught my attention was his aura. He is from a powerful coven or high level vampire that screamed wealth. He made his way over to us but as he got closer he stopped, he tilted his head to take in both Noel and I, despite my weaken state my mind was already on how to protect Noel, as if he could read my mind the vampire raised both his hand as if saying he me means no harm. With Noel on my left we stood patiently waiting for something to happen, the vampire in question keep checking his watch and frowning ever so often, thirty minutes later the scent of Vanilla was to right, Oliver. To the back of me I could smell the oranges which meant Landon and finally I could finally get a whiff of a mouth watering coffee scent Aaron. I didn't look at any of them my entire focus was on the rich looking vampire in front of us. Dropping his hand he folded his arms then looked toward Oliver, "You took your sweet time", he said in a deep rough voice. "I wasn't aware we were expecting you", he replied titling his head to the side, from the corner of my eyes I could he the smirk plastered on his face, he had this hot bad boy attitude in place that had butterflies fluttering in my stomach. "Of course you weren't expecting me, but as an alpha you should of known when I entered your territory", shaking his head he scoff at Oliver "Kid you need better training, my niece would of known someone entered her territory in heart beat", the pride in his voice was unmistakable, while the way Oliver went stiff I knew his words affected him. Not wanting to push this longer than it needed, whatever this is. I walked up to the vampire ignoring the call from the guys behind me, Noel, I have nothing to worry about, he knows I wont do something with out a plan. The others well they never really like me anyway so they have no say on what I do. "Look, tall pale and handsome you don't get to come here and insult our alphas if---", "You think I'm handsome", he tilted his head to the side as he eyed me and only then did I realize I said that part out loud. "Not important, what are you do--" I start again but he cut me of again. "Well from my point of view it's kind of important", he said nodding his head to the three idiots "They look like they are about to attack", Right as if they care about me, "Look stop cutting me of, What are you doing here?" He took a step forward but as he took that step his ring on his left hand glowed, immediately he stepped back raising his hand, the ring glowed a brighter blue color and then the light beam on both my hands, my eyes and finally the center of my head. "Wow", he exclaimed. "What's going on?" I asked, before he could answer Noel was standing next to me, out of instinct the guy moved his hand to Noel and that's when the ring really light up. The light shun on Noel's eyes, hands, legs, heart and finally the center of his forehead. "Well its safe to say I didn't waste any time coming here, I think I really need to see your alpha now", From the various smells that surrounded us I knew the three idiots was behind us but as if he knew I was thinking about him Landon place his hand on my hip. My heart beat raced as I felt Landon squeeze his hand on my hip then slipped his thumb under my shirt causing sparks to erupt as he slowly rubbed his thumb over the skin, judging from his surprised gasp, I'm sure he felt it to. Oliver then cleared his throat and my focus snapped back to the vampire, "Who are you?" Oliver asked, trying hard to sound intimidating but not really causing Noel to chuckle. The vampire extended his hand, "Prince Kylen, and these two have to many spells crossing them, how are they even alive",Landon POV The vampire hand was extended to Oliver as he introduced himself, but before they could even finish their exchange Aurora swayed a little causing the vampire to snatch his hand away grabbing her by her shoulders. As much as I don't like Noel so close to her I really hate that stupid vampire, Noel cursed next to her then took her from the Vampire hand, lifting her cradling her like a baby. For some reason my wolf stirred, trying to push forward to see through my eyes, his sight focus on Aurora in Noel arms and a low growl escaped our lips causing everyone to turn to us. Playing it out as a cough I turned to Oliver, "Are you taking him to dad?" He looked at Aurora in Noel arms then twist his face like he got the smell of something bad and my stomach sank, I know that look, he is going to do something stupid. Focusing on the vampire Oliver straighten his shoulders and took a step forward. "I will take you to our father but whatever is going on with them we wi
Oliver POV My brother is an Idiot, first he blocks us so we cant link him, then he runs of with Aurora and Noel. The meeting in dad office was basically going no where. I don't understand why this is any of our problems. If the girl is in trouble, then let her deal with it, clearly she can protect herself, but something about her and her guy/boyfriend/brother or whatever the fuck she calls him is bothering me. Aurora handle that rouge a little to professional for my liking, is she more hunter than wolf? Is she and Noel a danger for the pack? These questions kept replaying in my head and yes while I would like to have some answers on this, I also have a pack to think about, as we three will be alphas soon. Aaron have been silent since the moment both of us realized Landon left, and I'm not entirely sure if is the fact that our bother is siding with her or the fact that we might be in this prophecy. Standing in this office was causing my wolf to go crazy, we need to know w
Aurora POVEight months.Eight long months of searching for answers. And still, not a single clue on how to break the spell holding us back.The rogue alpha is dead now, and most of his pack either fled or joined ours. The Alpha has them in a separate section of the territory, training them to live like a real pack again. Meanwhile, Oliver has been keeping his distance from me, which makes everything harder. Noel, Landon, and Aaron have grown closer, forming a bond I can only observe from a distance.It's been four months since I hooked up with Landon and Aaron, and things have gotten complicated. Noel said he saw it coming. Azura even hinted that they might be our destined mates. Still, today feels... wrong. I’m restless, not myself. I need space, so I do what I always do—head for the woods.There’s something about the forest that soothes me. I can’t count how many times the guys have found me asleep under a tree or by the riverbank. It’s as if the woods are calling to me, pulling me
Aurora POVThe room fell silent as I finished explaining what had happened. Tension thickened in the air, almost tangible, and Noel’s eyes flickered, shifting colors as he fought to contain his wolf. His wolf—protective of both of his sisters—was barely under control. Aaron was the first to break the silence, moving to sit beside me on the bed and gently taking my hand. His silent support felt grounding. Across the room, Oliver turned and left, his expression unreadable, while Landon hesitated, looking between us before a nod from me sent him after his brother.The three of them were brothers long before I arrived, and as much as I hated to cause a rift, I knew they needed each other. I turned to Aaron, noticing his gaze flicker to Noel."What’s wrong?” I asked, struggling to sit up.“You’ve been unconscious for seven days,” Aaron said, giving me a small smile. “Noel hasn’t left your side. He’s… he’s still struggling to trust anyone with you.”“It’s not just me. It’s my wolf.” Noel’s
Aurora's POVSweat poured down my face, mingling with the dust that rose from the ground with each strike. My muscles strained, my mind sharpened, and yet I felt the pull of something wild beneath my skin, the power that was still new and unpredictable. Noel was across from me, his fists clenched, his stance ready—each move more precise than the last as we circled each other.Noel’s energy crackled in the air between us, raw and explosive, and I could see his wolf just beneath the surface, eager to break free.“Again,” he growled, his voice edged with the rumble of his wolf. “You’re hesitating.”I took a breath and readied myself, gripping the hilt of my dagger tightly. My powers surged beneath my skin, but they felt like an untamed flame, sparking in random bursts rather than the steady flow of control I wanted. Inhaling deeply, I steadied my thoughts, but with each pass, the energy flickered, stubborn and evasive.Noel’s shadow loomed closer, his eyes narrowing as he sensed my distr
Aurora's POVNoel's absence was starting to drive me insane. It’s been six months since he packed his bags, took the car and cash the Alpha gave him, and disappeared. In those months, the guys finally agreed to the mate bond, and we cloaked me to appear human to anyone outside the pack. It wasn’t foolproof, but it helped—especially with all the curious eyes on the pack lately. But Noel’s absence left a hole nothing could quite fill.In these same months, I met Annalise. Powerful, fierce, stubborn. And though she has no memory of our past life, she fought the council—and won. Watching her stand against them was like seeing the prophecy come to life. All I wanted was to call Noel and tell him how incredible our sister was, but he stopped taking my calls after he entered Teodora’s coven four months ago. Our sister is here, right before us, and yet I’m the only one who knows the depths of her strength. It’s maddening.Meanwhile, my training has been nothing short of relentless. Though Oli
Aurora’s POVFinding Damien’s heart and body was no small task; each was buried in different locations within Annalise’s pack, heavily guarded. Every time I snuck in, guilt clawed at me, but I knew this was necessary. Damien’s body, surprisingly intact, lay in the most fortified underground cell. I expected decay, the stench of death, but somehow, he seemed almost... preserved.His heart was much harder to locate. After months of searching, I finally enlisted the guys’ help. We devised a story about my “kidnapping” to lure Annalise and her mates away from their pack, giving us a chance to sneak in. Once inside her alpha’s office, we discovered the heart hidden in a secret compartment. With Damien’s body already secured in the cave under Teodora’s watchful eye, we readied ourselves for the ritual, each step heavy with anticipation.“You guys have the blood bags?” I asked, steadying myself as Oliver nodded, setting eight bags beside Damien’s body.“Good. He’ll need them once he wakes.”
Annalise POVI'm not sure what just happened. One minute, I'm staring into Damien’s eyes, feeling the mate bond snapping into place, and the next, I’m here, watching a scene play out in front of me.“Lower the shield,” a man demanded, his voice laced with anger and frustration.“No,” replied a young girl standing tall, protecting a woman lying on the floor while shielding the younger kids behind her. Her voice sounds familiar—everything here feels familiar.“This isn’t over,” the man muttered as he stormed out of the house.The girl turned back just as the children fainted, and that’s when I felt it: magic, pure white magic. With the dark magic still within me, feeling this level of purity was like being cleansed of poison.“Nova…” the woman whispered, “get your siblings out of here.”The girl quickly led the children outside, then hurried back for the woman. Watching her, I realized what was happening—I remembered this.I moved from my spot, standing beside my younger self as she tri
Aurora's POVThe sounds outside are gruesome—every crash, every howl sends a shiver down my spine. Azura claws at the edges of my mind, restless and furious. She wants out, wants to fight, to defend what’s ours. But I force her back. Annalise needs me here. I can’t abandon her, not when everything feels so uncertain, so fragile.The guys haven’t been gone long, but it feels like hours. Each moment drags, stretching endlessly as I pace the length of the room, my nerves fraying with every distant scream or clash of bodies. My hands shake, my breath uneven, and Azura’s snarls in my head do nothing to calm me.Then it hits me—a piercing pain, sudden and raw. It explodes through my side, like someone has rammed a knife into my ribs. I gasp, clutching at my skin, expecting blood to pool between my fingers. But there’s nothing. Nothing except the fire blazing along the bond, sharp and unrelenting.A howl splits the air, loud and anguished. It stops my heart in its tracks.My mates.Azura sur
Aurora’s POVWarmth and contentment wrap around me like a protective cocoon. For the first time in what feels like forever, my body is one with my powers. It’s strange—this sense of peace. My powers used to be locked away, and when I finally accessed them, they were wild, uncontrollable, leaving me exhausted and on edge. But now, despite everything happening around us, I’m calm. Truly calm.I let out a satisfied sigh and turn over, expecting to find one of my mates next to me. Instead, the bed is empty. Panic flares briefly in my chest, but a reassuring tug in my mind makes me pause.“We’re in Annalise’s room. You might want to get dressed and meet us here quickly,” Landon’s voice echoes through the mind link, steady and sure.Right, I remind myself. We can mind link now.Moving quickly, I hop into the shower and dress, the urgency in Landon’s tone making my heart race. Once ready, I make my way to Noel’s room and knock. It doesn’t take long for the Moon Goddess’s granddaughter to ans
Aurora's POVIt took two days—literally two days—for word to spread and my father’s forces to be on our doorstep. Damien assured us that the castle was magically protected, but Azura wasn’t convinced. Her restless snarls echoed in my head, her tension clawing at my resolve. She wanted control, and I was fighting her for it.The internal battle left me drained. My powers were so unstable they burned through me, leaving me fragile and on edge.It’s been four days since Annalise slipped into her mysterious state, and still, she hasn’t woken up. We’ve all taken turns sitting in her room, watching her thrash and tremble, her body visibly at war with itself. The Moon Goddess spends hours at her side, her touch the only thing that calms Annalise’s violent episodes.But today feels different. The air is thick with anticipation, like the world is holding its breath.The Moon Goddess finally asked us to leave Annalise with her mates, giving them some privacy. My mates took the opportunity to wh
Annalise's POVMemory SequenceI stand in our wooden cottage, the air thick with storm clouds and tension. The man is beside me, his grip firm as he directs my gaze to the scene unfolding before us.The door bursts open, and my father storms in, flanked by six cloaked witches. Their skeletal hands are grotesque—an eerie blend of bone and sinew. The leader, her face shadowed, prowls through the room.“It’s too protected. We can’t perform the ritual here,” she rasps, her voice a nightmare made real.“I don’t care where,” my father growls, his voice laced with fury. “Just get the children out of her belly. I’ve already lost the first three—I won’t lose my chance at this power again.”The witches nod in unsettling unison and exit. The man beside me grips my arm as we follow.Outside, two witches lay my mother’s lifeless body on the ground. My breath catches, a sharp pain slicing through my chest.“Bring the girl,” the lead witch commands, her voice sharp as glass.Two witches drag a sobbi
Annalise’s POVThe figure pulled back his hood, revealing his face. His long hair was tied neatly in a bun, and his light blue eyes shimmered with a piercing clarity that seemed to see straight through me. A rugged beard covered his sharp jawline, softening his otherwise chiseled features. Despite the tension in the air, his expression was calm—bored, even—and he exuded an unsettling confidence, as though none of us posed a threat.The black magic thrumming through my veins whispered, urging me to show him just how wrong he was. It was tempting, so tempting, but I clenched my fists and fought it back. I wouldn’t let the magic control me.His gaze swept over me slowly, lingering before locking onto my eyes.“If you’re looking for the star, I’m sorry to tell you it’s not here,” he said, his voice rough and deep, like it hadn’t been used in years.I smirked. “I know.”His mask of indifference cracked. His brows furrowed, and anger darkened his expression as he took a step forward.“I’m n
Annalise's POVI wasn’t healing, and being carried was agony. Every jolt, every step sent shocks of pain through my body, so I finally told Nate to put me down. The connection to Nova was still missing, an empty void where her comforting presence should have been. My vampire side, however, surged to the forefront, lending me the strength to keep moving.The forest was a maze of dangers. At every turn, another creature awaited us, claws, fangs, or worse. Exhaustion gnawed at me, a heavy weight dragging my limbs, but my guardians pressed on, cutting through the chaos like blades through shadow. It wasn’t until we reached the base of the mountain that they finally called for a pause.“We’ll camp here,” Nate announced, his tone leaving no room for argument. “You need to rest before the climb.”I didn’t protest. Groaning, I lowered myself onto the ground beside the fire, every movement a fresh reminder of the stab wound in my stomach. The fabric of my shirt clung to the injury, sticky with
Noel's POVMy wolf is annoying. There, I said it. He doesn’t shut up, and he’s too strong for me to control. Like, why did I get blessed with this? All my life, I’ve dreamed of having a badass wolf like Azura, but no—what did I end up with? Kai. The most talkative, sarcastic, and aggravating wolf in existence. I miss the silent days in my head.“Never getting those back, pup.” Kai snorts. “Stop sulking. Stand tall. Straighten your back. For the love of the goddess, act like the Alpha you are, not some pup who lost his chew toy.”Groaning, I plop down next to Aurora. She instantly throws her legs across my lap. Oliver growls low in his throat, and Kai, ever the instigator, chuckles gleefully.“Why is she twitching like that?” Aurora murmurs, her tone heavy with concern.Caleb and Austin are too busy glaring daggers at Damien—who still hasn’t let go of Annalise’s hand—to notice the rising tension in the room. But I do. Aurora is brimming with magic, and seeing Annalise like this is feed
Annalise's POVWe stand in formation, creating a barrier between the Moon Goddess and the creatures. As they approach, a wave of nervous energy flutters in my stomach. I’ve fought countless battles before, but never without my powers. Now is definitely not the time for self-doubt to creep in, but it’s clawing at the edges of my mind. I’m good—better than good—but as these creatures close the distance, their monstrous forms send a jolt of unease through me.Once they’re within range, there’s no more time for hesitation. As one, we launch into battle, swords flashing under the dim, eerie light. The clash of steel against claws and teeth rings in my ears. One by one, the creatures fall, and our formation tightens as we encircle the Moon Goddess. The last of the horde bleeds out at our feet, and just as I think we’ve bought ourselves a moment to breathe, a bone-chilling wind rushes past us.My stomach twists as I hear the unmistakable sound of snapping branches. Wolves burst through the t
Annalise's POVI'm falling. You know that dream where you're falling, and just as you’re about to hit the ground, you jerk awake? Yeah, it’s exactly like that—except this time, I actually am falling. Eyes wide, I twist to see the ground rushing up to meet me. Channeling my powers, I slow my descent into a controlled drop, landing with one knee down and my fist pressed to the ground.Iron Man would be so proud. I’ve perfected his superhero landing. Standing up, I dust off my hands and take in my surroundings. The place is… unsettling. Cold, damp, utterly miserable. The kind of dark, overgrown forest you’d expect in a horror movie where people keep going in, despite every instinct telling them to turn around. Goosebumps prick my skin as I mutter, “Yeah, that’s creepy.”But strangely, even though I know I should be freaked out, there’s a part of me that’s calm. Grounded. Ready. Like I was meant to be here.“Where the hell am I?” I mumble, taking another step back, fully aware this isn’t
