I felt extremely privileged. It wasn’t unusual for Sam to task me with something, but nothing this big. Things like this he would oversee, and I would just be the doofus standing next to him making jokes. But this. This meant that I was being entrusted to handling more than just the pack. While I was mostly the jokester of the group, I had always taken training seriously. And would take this just as seriously.
Within 30 minutes after leaving the conference room, I was down on the field where all the warriors from each of the factions were. I was pleasantly surprised by the sheer number of Fae that had arrived in full warrior gear. From the looks of their gear, they always went out in full garb. From head to toe, they were dressed in some sort of deep brown leather. Their head gear was some sort of brown cap like for baseball, or maybe trucker. They had dark green long-sleeved shirts covered with a deep brown leather vest th
Reign The minute my sister went missing my heart dropped out of my chest. I had never felt so alone. I could feel her confusion, her anger, even her pain. Every day she would wake from the emptiness to something that would anger her. I could feel our bond, could feel her attempting to reach out to me. I wish I could reach out to her, to hold her and support her through this. Hell, most of me just wished that I could take her place. Each day was the same, I would awake with the confusion she must have been feeling with her immediate transfer to anger. After the anger would come the torture, the pain to various parts of her body. Most of the pain went to her face but I had also felt the sting of a blade ripped down her arm. Her legs. The only thing I was grateful for at the time was her abdomen had seemed to have been spared. Though, I didn’t know how she was healing as I could feel the burning sensation along my wrist and ankles. After the torture would come the feeling of freedom.
Celeste Channeling was a dangerous feat to pull off and, to this day, I have never met a witch or wizard of any kind with enough magic in them to pull it off alone. Even with an entire coven as big as mine, the magic that was used was not easy. Using the demons to pull from should make this easier. But not any less risky. That was the reason Amethyst was hesitant about even mentioning it. I couldn’t let her channel this much magic and energy. It would kill her. Even with me doing it, I wasn’t certain that I would be able to pull it off and return unscathed. But I will try. I could sense that Adrik knew I was hiding something as we all formed the circle. He kept staring at me with questions in his eyes, but I couldn’t tell him. He wouldn’t let me if I did. Just one look at Cain’s sweet face and I knew that I would do everything within my power to complete my task. I knew that Lynol and Adrik could regenerate magic much faster than I could. Hell, even my coven couldn’t. There weren't m
GabiAmethyst and Celeste asked me before they had considered any spells, and what the limits were. Many in the magical world thought anything having to deal with blood or sacrifice fell along the side of dark magic. They taught me so much about their magic and their coven's magic. While they considered themselves white witches or light witches, they had several members from every sector, including into the darker arts. From what they had stated, the only one that they knew had a darkened aura was that of Lucy. But since she had met her mates with Roman and Levi, her aura had begun to lighten.Celeste had told me that the spell she would need to use was a blood spell, but by lacing her blood with Remmie’s she would give them what they needed to, scry with. I had initially approved of the spell. Why wouldn’t I? It sounded fairly simple. As we all stood in the circle, I was told that I would not be allowed. I had initially prote
AbelI was watching the circle that we were asked to be a part of. Cain and I were standing together. The moment that we had walked into the room I had begun to worry. Cain took one look at Reign and began to curse. His psyche was not there. The damn guy wasn’t in a good place. I could feel his anger, guilt, and despair wafting from him in waves.I thought the moment that Celeste had drained part of our energy, that it would calm him. And temporarily it did. But the minute that the ritual was over, Cain opened his eyes only to stare right at Reign. When both Reign and Celeste screamed out in pain and fear, Cain lost it. I raced across the circle to Reign and sc
Remmie I yelled for Reign to leave me. I knew she was experiencing the same horrors as me, she would never be able to recover. My Reign was sweet and innocent. I was the messed up one. The one that would fight off all her little demons. But after what they had done. Who was going to chase mine away? Who was going to hold me when the nightmares came? Get real, Remington! You will never make it out of here alive. I criticized myself. I didn’t know if that was true or not but, at this moment in time, I was truly feeling that my fate was sealed by those four walls. ‘REMMIE!?’ Reign yelled loudly through my mind. ‘It’s okay Rey. I am fine. I told you to block it out. Damnit Reign. You need to listen to me. You have to block this shit out. If not for me, for your little baby. Please Rey.’ I pleaded with her. I needed her with me to help me stay. Help me stay sane and like I have someone with m
Lucy“It’s okay. I know it all seems really bad. But it isn’t really all that bad.” I said to the whimpering young man that the guards had just brought in and thrown into the cells. There weren’t a lot of guys, but we did get a few. I guess we catered to all sexual preferences. How progressive the annoying slime ball that was Alpha Doug.“How about we start with something easy?” I asked him. “How about you just tell me your name?”“Matus. Well, at least that is what everyone called me back at the orphanage. I think they just call me John here.” He whimpered.“I am so sorry about all this, Matus. How old are you?” I asked him. He was so young, and the way he reacted to everything, I was worried that he might be underage.“Eight.” He whimpered. Did I just hear him right? Did he just say eight or eighteen?“
LucyWe needed to talk. The kiss of death of any relationship. Or so I had heard. So why was it that Roman took on this persona of a guard here only to come here and break up with me? My mind immediately went a hundred different ways and the look on my face must have expressed my thoughts because I could even form words. His hands were cupping my face.“Luce?”“Ar… Are you breaking up with me? Was it because I agreed to come here? Oh my goddess… Is it because you met someone else?” I stuttered, shocked and confused. But the hurt laced each and every word.“What? Goddess NO!” He growled out, staring me in the eyes. “Is that what your thinking? Damnit woman, what didn’t you understand when Levi and I told you that you were our mate? We mate for life, baby. Once you accepted us, there was no going back, princess. You are ours for life. No going back on that now. For
CelesteOnce we had a game plan created and had it passed through the council, we prepared to make our way towards Zoey. Amethyst was almost bouncing with glee at the opportunity to meet her grandchild that she had mourned on more than one occasion. We had never known the exact date that she was born or “died”, but every year on the anniversary of us bringing Lucy home, Amethyst would take the day and seclude herself. I knew that she was mourning the loss of her daughter and granddaughter, but she would never truly talk to anyone. Even if I had attempted to talk to her, and I had on many occasions. Yet, hearing that, indeed, Zoey was alive and well had reignited a fire in both Amethyst and Lucy’s eyes.“I am already if you are Celeste. Should we gather the Coven and have them assist?” Amethyst said, trying to hurry me along.“You may use me again.” Adrik said, supporting me and
