~River’s Point of View~

Thankfully, the warlock had been able to get rid of the corpses, it all was just an illusion. A smelly one though, and I still felt my nose burning.

It had been hours that we had been wandering the Blood Claw grounds, and there was nothing. Either everyone was underground or they had all left. I couldn’t understand why they would have left the gates guarded just to desert the pack. It made no sense. They had to all be here.

We were all just kind of lazing around, waiting for something. It was easily another hour before we got our wish. Maybe they thought we’d let our guards down, who knows. Out of nowhere, a mist began to form around the area, easily three dozen cloud like mists.

*Be ready for anything, everyone on guard,* Shane yelled over mind-link.

When the mists cleared, we were surrounded by easily a dozen pure white wolves and the rest were brown with white boots, and they were growling fiercely.

*I thought Blood Claw warriors were all black, brown

    ~Hunter’s Point of View~ We’d been watching Angel for a few minutes, unsure of what she was even doing when I smelled more wolves. The very second I smelled them, we were under full attack. Angel immediately levitated herself high above us, being in no position to fight against wolves. For what seemed like an eternity, I was fighting off teeth and claws non-stop with everything I had. Our vampires appeared to help but there were just so damn many of them. This had to have not only been all of Gunner’s warriors, but other packs he’d taken over as well. They were just literally … hundreds. We’d kill a dozen and a dozen more would come out of the tree line. I glimpsed a sea of bodies, fur, and blood. My wolf was already tired and I estimated that I’d killed at least twenty wolves myself. I’d also taken a nasty bite to my back leg and I could tell River was favoring his front leg but it had been awhile since I was clear enough to look for him. “YES,” I heard a woman yell. I recogniz

    ~Ellie’s Point of View~ The day had passed and neither Gunner or Kai came back. I felt like trying to run off again but I was sure Kai left some type of spell over the area so I couldn’t get away. I was passing the time singing some of my favorite Ipod songs. The sun would be setting soon, and Gunner should have come back for dinner by now ... not that I was missing him but I was desperate to know what was going on. I hoped him being gone meant the Shadows were getting somewhere. But then it dawned on me … if Kai is killed before I’m found, how would they ever know where I was? My mind raced with all the different scenarios, and none of them seemed to end well for me. I was taken from my thoughts when I heard a woman humming. I loved it, it was so comforting and somehow familiar. I didn’t even realize the maid was still here. I followed the sound and saw her in the garden, cutting flowers. She quickly stuck her nose in the air, and began running toward me. Had she been out here all

    ~Godfrey’s Point of View~ I looked around at all the shifters, completely exhausted by the day of fighting, but I knew they could go longer on anger alone. I stared up at the witch Katya being held by Felix, and I wanted nothing more than to squash her like a bug. “We have to take her out, if anyone should be able to get her, harness her power for their own...” Dina said, dashing to my side. “I agree, Felix … squash her,” I commanded, ordering her death as if she were a bug. Felix and I had a long history and we’d been around each other on and off for centuries but he still sometimes managed to surprise me. The demon let out a … a laugh? I was positively astounded and almost it had me scared. It was a low rumble from deep in his belly and before the witch could register what I’d said and figure out a way out, he fiercely made a fist. I floated up to his hand, just to see blood and other bodily fluids gushing out from between his fingers. Good one down!! But … we need more. “Bu

    ~Ellie’s Point of View~ I’d been out running with Grammy for so long, I didn’t realize the most obvious thing. We were stopped at a small creek when it hit me that we must now be miles from the house. There wasn’t a spell anymore? *We have to keep going, see how far we can make it,* I mind-linked to Grammy. *Yes, we must, but I’m afraid I’m so exhausted, I haven’t been able to shift and run for a decade, I can’t go much further today,* she said, and her wolf whined. We walked for another hour or so at a slower pace, when I caught it! I suddenly smelled the sweetest scent that made my entire body light up, the salty wind!! The ocean!! My River, he was here! *Mate, mate must get to mate,* Violet yelled in my head. I couldn’t even wait for Grammy, I took off like the wind, following his scent. I ran until I couldn’t run anymore, my legs ached and my lungs were on fire. But it didn’t matter, I made it. I came through a clearing and saw I was back at the house. Shit! Wait, no! May

    ~Ellie’s Point of View~ I must have blacked out, or Violet blacked out, I wasn’t sure what happened. I woke up in the grass, naked and it was pitch black out. I sat up and slammed my legs together, I had been laying with them wide open! How damn humiliating!! I did see the silver chain nearby and realized Violet probably got it off but maybe passed out. I didn’t notice any soreness or anything that would indicate Gunner had done anything. I got to my feet, my first thought being to go in the house for my clothes. I glanced at the house and it was totally dark, but I had no clue what might be lurking inside. I remembered Grammy and I had shifted in the side yard and I quickly went over there. My clothes were a bit ripped up but Grammy’s were okay. I quickly put on her maid uniform which was basic black slacks and a black and grey blouse. I swam in it, even though she wasn’t that much bigger than me. Better than nothing, certainly. Grammy! Where was she?? I moved quickly around the

    ~Ellie’s Point of View~ The house was pitch black and I joked to myself it would be nice to have my Ipod for the lit screen. I had no clue what a portal looked like or if I’d even be able to tell what the hell it was. I was also still on high alert for Gunner or anyone else. I crept through the front door, which was actually left open and I checked again for any heartbeats. So far, so good. I quickly moved around every corner of the living room, and I didn’t notice anything weird or have any vibes. Next was the kitchen/dining room and the two bedrooms. This is ridiculous, I could be looking for nothing! I gave up after maybe an hour, I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream. This was my only card to play, my only hope. I ran back outside to Grammy, and thanked the Goddess that she was right where I’d left her. “There’s nothing in there, I don’t think so anyhow but I don’t really know what I’m looking for either. It’s like there’s just no way out,” I whined. “You would know, it wou

    ~Lilly’s Point of View~ Godfrey had just landed with us back and Blood Claw and I smelled it. A sweet, fragrant scent of jasmine and an earthy, woodsy scent … pine? It filled me and gave me such a safe, warm sensation I couldn’t stand it. I had to follow it. Before I could even unwrap myself from Godfrey, my Grammy called out, “Jasmine! My sweet Jasmine!” I quickly looked around to see who she was looking at, and then … I saw her. An older version … of me. “Mommy,” I said, with a breath so low and pitiful I wasn’t sure if I said it or thought it. *Our pack,* Violet said. My legs felt like they were going to give out, my heart raced in my ears I tried to move, but I was frozen. I’d had this time with Grammy, I knew they were alive but to see them… My look-alike ran toward me and behind her was a shorter man, but he was bulky and hardened. He definitely looked like someone you didn’t want to anger. He looked like a warrior. Just when I thought my knees would give out they both

    ~Godfrey’s Point of View~ My, my that little mutt Tyson was actually proving himself to be useful, I just may have to spare his life after all. He’d done a rough assessment for Isaac to determine how many Blood Claw were either present or dead so we could determine if Gunner had hidden reserves somewhere. I had a telepath double check him to make sure he was being honest and so far he had been. Gunner was running scared now, no witches, no fairy, no heir and no Ellie. Hmm. I stood with the majority of the council and two dozen Shadows overlooking the pack where Gunner was hiding. The scouts were giving a rough estimate of only sixty wolves including women and children. What the hell was here for him, what does he want with such a small pack? “The only thing I can think is maybe he promised my sister to someone in the pack when she comes of age, she’s several years from her wolf though,” Tyson said. “Maybe he’s just starting over, making a whole new pack,” River said. “That’s abo

    Ben and I had talked about doing an actual ceremony, for him it was an important thing. Tradition. He assured me ours would be completely different from anything he’d done before, that the vows he made with other women were somewhat superficial. More of a just a promise they could join his family and that he was willing to have a child with them. More like a guarantee he’d get to sleep with them on demand. I still struggled with that sometimes. How do I just walk around knowing that all these women had shared something so special and intimate with MY mate? It wasn’t like they were one night stands. I knew it would get better, the more distance I could put between them and him, but it still tugged at my self esteem. It was even harder trying to help care for Dorothy and Calista’s children, especially since even now they still asked for their moms. Sometimes they cried out for them at night. A few times we both slept in their rooms with them. Dorothy was banished for five years, then

    ~Meadow’s Point of View~ “Don’t you just feel like a cow sometimes,” I muttered, staring down at my adorable twin pups that seemed to drink me dry each time they nursed. They were so cute when they weren’t screaming. When they weren’t crapping their pants. When they were just … motionless. *My beautiful babies,* Coral cooed. “Yeah, but it's such an incredible bond,” Lilly said, as I turned to cut my eyes at her. She was four months pregnant with their sixth child and THANKFULLY it was only one baby this time. I thought they were all insane. I nearly said, ditch the crap woman, I’m a freaking milk cow, a spit up rag and yesterday Reed whizzed in my face while I was bathing him! “It gets easier, they’re only six weeks old,” Lilly said, running her finger over Hazel’s cheek. That’s what they ALL keep saying. “It gets easier.” Ah huh. *We have been getting more sleep lately,* Coral protested. Yeah right, like SHE ever gets up. Really, I had no right to complain, since I had mo

    ~Ben’s Point of View~ I barely had to wait another minute for several vampires to try swarming in. Oftentimes there are some creatures that will take on a not so common alliance for the sake of a power grab. I knew in my bones that’s all this was, unless this sister had taken one as a mate. While you’d expect Godfrey to perhaps have reservations about killing his own kind, he absolutely didn’t. As a councilor, he took that shit pretty seriously. If they wanted to fuck around and be stupid, test the waters well, that was on them. I stood still watching as numerous Shadow vampires, witches and fairies seemed to descend from nowhere, and I also recognized two of Godfrey’s children. He likely called them through their bond, but I was pleased for the support. I bounced around, throwing some fireballs from my fingertips and even conjuring up some various weapons such as shurikens or ninja stars, which were one of Godfrey’s favorite things. Only it was hard for him to touch silver unless

    ~Ben’s Point of View~ My heart swelled as I watched Daisy doting on Ash. Since their mating bond had been broken, they re-mated and apparently all that entailed. They were both like young teenagers in love all over again, and it was a sight to behold. I couldn’t wait to bring Meadow to see. They had been left alone for a couple of days, much like my little love and I. But now guests and well wishers poured in from all over the place. I could tell he was grateful and overwhelmed but the relief on everyone’s faces seemed to rejuvenate him. Shane and Godfrey had brought him up to speed on all that transpired and he kept insisting he was to blame in some fashion for not having a security detail and allowing himself to be caught. It was all we could do to reassure him that we were all to blame. I felt I was more so than anyone. Apparently this attack had been decades in the making. Ash was just an innocent bystander, but as not only a Shadow but also a councilor he knew the risks. Doe

    ~Meadow’s Point of View~ *Are you happy now,* I whined, scolding Coral. She didn’t answer, but instead played like she was asleep. Jerk! This was now the third night I’d been in the mountains with my mate, and while I’d felt the heat mostly subside a few hours ago we still couldn’t keep our hands off each other. I was beyond exhausted and not at all sure my legs would work. “And that position was called the hill but since I can levitate us I can actually hit you from underneath with a bit of acrobatics,” Ben said, running his fingers over my butt. I laid breathless, my head in a pillow, totally spent. I just wanted to sleep for a couple days, how the hell did he have this kind of stamina?? I mean he practically died just a few days ago! *Males always make an effort when it comes to their release,* Coral said, yawning. I had no doubt that was the absolute truth. When I had said I wanted to spend time in the coven’s library learning, I hadn’t realized I already had my own personal

    ~Ben’s Point of View~ It was obvious my little love wasn’t yet capable or able to express herself in words when it came to sex, but her body told a different story. The fact that Meadow was still so shy, so bashful could not have possibly been a bigger turn on. If I could get her to the point where she talked dirty to me, I’d be coming in my pants just by her words. All the women in my life had always been so daring, so sure of themselves. Her sweet innocence, her timid nature and her untouched body was all too much. I felt as though I had split personalities … on the one hand I wanted to be her fierce protector, the macho male who puffs out his chest and kills a spider in the bathroom just to be her hero. Then fuck her relentlessly to further stake my claim and beat my chest. On the other hand, I wanted to sing the songs of love and make sweet love to her for hours on end. I’d serenade her in Greek, as the words of love just sounded better than in English… I’d make her dinner and t

    ~Meadow’s Point of View~ “She must die, she’s lied to us all for decades. She’s kept you from Georgia, and Little Ben was just…” Sebastian trailed off. Coral shivered, remembering our brief time with the boy. He was so hopeful, curious. Yet he knew his days were numbered, how depressing. There was too much having us all on edge, especially since we were waiting for word about my father. Clearly I didn’t have the same attachment to Athena as everyone else, as her own son would. But if this was how he felt about it… Our eyes darted to Ben. “Fifty years of banishment, then we reconsider. Give her the same courtesy she gave to me,” he finally said. Numerous others murmured in agreement. “On the matter of Georgia I’m not as easily able to decide. We’re going to give her a chance to prove herself. I believe we define ourselves on the decisions we make and while some … have to be made in the blink of an eye, they can still very much have very real consequences. Georgia has lost, she ha

    ~Ben’s Point of View~ I was certain I’d missed a hell of a lot while I was knocked out, but there was no time for trips down memory lane. No time to address the pain that still wracked my body. The reek of the venom that was still radiating from my pores. The fact that my mate smells of pure arousal, and was laying on top of me in her panties with my blood on her hands. Definitely need more of an explaination on that. Everyone is depending on me, I have to do this. It has to work. I briefly said a prayer to the Goddess that we often ask her to pass on to through our ancestors. To draw on their power when we need it. Then I began the spell as I recalled it, hoping like hell it worked. Katrina and Cleo came to either side of me, and we locked arms. Sebastian should be here, even Athena’s strength would be good. But no time now. Just as I had that thought Georgia appeared in front of me and got between Katrina and I. Her scent immediately calmed me, it was what helped my younger self
