Alley POV: Slowly his eyes widened and the biggest smile I've ever seen came across his face. It looked like the kid just won the lottery. "Thank you so much!" Danny yelled, flinging himself in my arms hugging me tight. "You are most welcome, now let's go play!" I said, Danny turned and started to run, looking over his shoulder "You can't catch me!" Danny half yelled out because he was laughing. Stephen and I jumped to our feet laughing and chased him to the park. Stephen scooped him up in his arms tossing him in the air making our little Danny squeal and giggle. I ran over to them and started tickling Danny who was now cradled in Stephens arms. At this moment none of us had any worries. "Come on Alley! Let's go down the slide!" Danny yelled, grabbing my hand and pulling me along. I looked at the tiny slide and wondered how my butt would even fit on that thing. We ran up the little steps and across the wooden walkway and stopped just before the slide. Dany wasted no time flinging hi
Alley POV: Usually when someone touches the shield it stings more, but this is just a tingly feeling which makes me curious. The alphas minus Stephen shifted in to their wolves just as an extra precaution, Brandon, Alex and Tye stayed in human form. The closer we got to the edge of the territory I could start making out a few figures. One of them stood out the most, she didn't look like the others, she had long black hair and pale skin, she stood about 6 feet. I could tell she was studying me as well. By now I was able to see the man and woman we met at that house, they kept any emotions off their faces. She must be confident if she only brought those two. We stopped about 10 yards from them and we all studied each other. "I hard the great white witch herself summoned me herself and I have to admit I am curious." Pythia said. Her dark brown eyes bored into mine, her voice had an edge to it. "I did, I caught those two at a house where we found an enemy. Care to explain that?" I ask
Alley POV: We don't know how many people are working for Bosch but I have a feeling it's bigger than our packs." I said. Everyone seemed deep in thought. "I say we agree for now, like you said as long as we stay in the shield dark magic can't touch us and if they do cross us we can kill them." Devin said. Slowly everyone nodded their heads agreeing. "Alright well I'm sure she is waiting for us so lets get this over with. Stay close together though okay?" I said, "Everyone hold hands so we end up in the same place at once." Emma said. We all got in a circle holding the hand of the people next to us. I closed my eyes and focussed on the bayou that was at the rivers edge. When I opened my eyes I took in my surroundings. The river that turned into a lake, the edges were filled with moss and grass that had gotten out of control, trees surrounded us. "Looks like it didn't take y'all long to get an answer." Pythia said, making us all turn around. This time she had an entire coven behin
Alley POV: We are all sitting around Stephens office. He called a meeting to inform us of the group of trackers that found where the vampire queen is. While we all waited for him I let my mind drift off to last night, Danny had shown us everything he got at the store and we helped him set his room up while he bounced around ecstatically. He got a lot of different toys and a big toy box to put them all in, at least 6 new pairs of shoes and an ass load of new clothes. Not that we mind at all, it just showed us even more of what he lacked which broke my heart even more. Stephen and I agreed to keep the aunt locked up in the cells, we can't let her loose with everything going on and as of now she is in major pain, hasn't held down food and puking blood. I'd say it's what she gets for being such a horrible person. At dinner we celebrated the small victory with the dark witches even though it may not last after the battle but still, small victory. The door opened and Stephen walked in w
Alley POV: "Pythia has the message and said she will be there with a few others." One of the trackers said through our link. I walked over to the book shelf and pulled out the map that showed all territories this side of the region, I grabbed a red marker and circled the queens land. "We should station ourselves at the front, we don't need to get spread out because then we won't be able to see each other." I said. The others surrounded me looking at the map. Charlotte grabbed the marker from my hand before making an oval circle at the front, "I think that's where we need to be." Charlotte said, looking down at the map. "We could have the dark witches behind us behind these trees." Diane said circling the trees that I would assume were 20 yards behind where we would stand. "Jack, Sammie you two could hide here." I said circling a small area 10 yards behind us. "Anyone else have anything to add?" I said looking around to everyone who was still studying the map. No one said a word whic
Alley POV: As soon as I took off the rest bolted in different directions, I met the female vampire in the middle. Her movements were wild and erratic, she had long finger nails that she tried cutting me with. Swinging her arms at me and I was barely dodging them before I grabbed both her wrists pulling them down and head butting her right in the nose. She stumbled back and shrieked before coming back at me. She nearly made it to me before I pulled my leg back and kicked her in the stomach, she tumbled backwards and tripped over a root that had come out of the ground, I knew it was from the twins. I wasted no time running to her, placing my hands on both sides of her head before ripping her head clean off her body. I turned around to see most of the guys had shifted and were starting to be back in a corner. I scanned over everyone and noticed Diane was fighting off three with one sneaking up behind her. I bolted straight for her and just when the vampire behind her lunged at her I m
Alley POV: "What are you?" She asked clawing at the roots that had now moved up her body. "You don't get to ask questions anymore." I said tightening the roots. Her face twisted in anger, her hand latched on to a root and snapped it breaking it from her body. "How dare you speak to me like that!" She roared before breaking the rest of the roots, I smirked at her knowing fully she could have broken them at any moment. Everyone else backed away from us and in that moment it was just me and her. She lunged at me and I met her half way, our bodies collide as we rolled on the ground she landed a punch to my ribs and I heard them crack, she pulled her arm back and swung at me, I jerked my head to the right barely missing her fist. I swung my right arm at her landing a punch to her lower jaw throwing her off of me, I reared my left hand back and used every amount of force I could gather and struck her in her nose, blood spewed out of her nose. She used her hand to claw my face, I could fee
Alley POV: As soon as we walked through the doors I was surprised at how well decorated the place was. It looks abandoned from the outside. The inside had red carpet lining the floor, with pillars that went from the bottom to the top, canvases of previous queens and their kings with children lined the walls. "You may clean up in this room." Ambrosia said pointing at the door to our right. Stephen wasted no time walking through the door and setting me on the bed. I watched him walk to the bathroom and come back out with a small bowl of water and a washcloth. "Sit still princess." He said as he dipped the cloth in the water and started to clean off my face. I winced when he got close to my nose since it was still sore. "Talk to me, what's wrong?" I asked hoping he would tell me. I knew he was mad at the situation but I had to handle it. "I just didn't like being held back while you fought her. I'm suppose to protect you." His voice trailed off and it made me feel so bad. "I'm sorry
