Wendy POV
Eleanore asked me to perform some sort of spell on me; she wondered about my past, heritage, and family. Something told me that there was more to it than simple curiosity. Ultimately, I agreed with her performing the revealing spell on me.
We walked together outside the packhouse and headed toward the woods. She stopped at a clearing near a river. The whole site was breathtaking, and I felt relaxed. Eleanore sat on the grass and laced her hands over the cool dirt. She closed her eyes and hummed. She chanted a soft, relaxing song, and I felt compelled to sit in front of her and close my eyes as well.
The damp forest scent invaded my senses, and soon, I was relaxed. She stopped chanting and opened her eyes. “Are you ready?” I nodded my head and, in a quiet stutter,
I said, “Yes…”
She took my hand, and a white light spread from her hand toward mine. Suddenly, the white lig
Stella POVEverything was back to normal; we finally returned to the Royal Pack and quickly got swamped in endless pack work. My pregnancy kept me from doing heavy lifting for the pack, and Romeo was adamant that I had as much rest and time for myself as possible. My belly was huge because I was carrying not one but two pups.One week before our arrival, the elders informed us that the Alpha Summit would be held here and that it would be next month. I had a lot of preparations to make. The Alpha Summit was an event where all the leading Alphas under Romeo's command would gather together and discuss the new proposals, laws, treaties, and well-being plans for the future. Every Alpha would be accompanied by their Luna and their Beta couple. It was a massive event where all 50 packs were confirmed to attend.Fortunately, the Royal Pack has plenty of accommodation to host all of our guests. I just needed to ensure everything
Stella POVI woke up feeling light-headed; suddenly, I realized I was alone in bed. It was odd, since Romeo and I slept together last night. I didn't feel him waking, nor was he inside the bedroom. I took a deep breath, and then I felt it. I felt suffocated, sad, in pain, desperate, and in rage. “What the hell is going on?” I mumbled; those feelings were definitely not mine, so they must be Romeo's.“Romeo… Where are you?” I called him through our mind link. The sadness that came through our bond was overwhelming, but I still waited for him to answer.“Sweetheart, I am in my office…” he replied, and I could sense in his voice that something was terribly wrong. I decided to walk quickly towards the bathroom, trying to be as quick as possible, considering the massive pregnant belly that I was currently sporting.I finished my business in the bathroom and stormed out of the room, looking for Romeo. I wo
Romeo POVYesterday's farewell ceremony for my dad was nothing more than emotional. I have been bottling up all my emotions and my sadness. First, I need to be strong for Stella, my pups, and my pack and also perform as Supreme Alpha; then, maybe later, I will have time to grieve and mourn my loss.That is how I was raised. I was raised to prioritize my pack above myself. I was raised to cherish and love my mate above all. I was raised to be the leader and compass in times of suffering, even above my own pain.Today is the first round of discussions regarding all the issues we are facing as a community, particularly issues regarding pack security and pack alliances. Stella will be hosting Luna's brunch to get to know everyone and start a discussion about education and career development for future generations.Usually, we divide the issues and discuss them accordingly. Luna is in charge of education,
Romeo POVI was glad that the issue raised by Eulisse's former title, ´The Rogue King´was over and done. I must remind myself to thank Alpha Teo because he greatly influenced our positive outcome.I linked a couple of warriors to take Evan to the dungeons during the rest of the Summit. He was no longer an Alpha, and he had to wait for justice to be served. Meanwhile, I was happy to provide Eulisses with proper accommodation for that rat.“Okay, now, our second issue on today's agenda. We need to begin discussions on pack security and future threats.” I spoke loud and clear, commanding everyone to pay attention to the next subject. Long gone are the whispers and gossip about Eulisses' situation.A young Alpha from a small pack raised his hand. I was surprised by the poise and bravery of such a young man. Usually, the other Alphas give more respect to the more powerful ones, but his daring to raise his
Stella POVI had long and boring discussions with Lunas about education and better methodology for kindergarten kids. For fucks sake, I am a strategist, not a teacher. So far, even if the subject was interesting, with my pregnant body, it was hard to be awake listening to this.My mind wandered about how Romeo's meeting about security was going. That was a meeting I would kill to attend, but I was stuck there. Soon, the mood changed, and most of the Lunas got a mind link from their Alphas. I got a link from Rose, letting me know that something had come up and that we were needed at Romeo's office. As instructed, I quickly canceled the meeting and postponed it until after lunch.I saw Paige, and she looked at me, trying to get more information about what happened, but I was completely in the dark. I shrugged my shoulders and wrapped my arms around her frame. “I am exhausted, and it is just the beginning,” I mu
Stella POVStepping into a magic portal was such a different experience. With my pregnancy hormones raging and my feet killing me, it was not a pleasant one. By the time we arrived at our destination, which was less than a minute ago, I was dizzy and feeling nauseous.Romeo immediately took my hand, trying to ease my discomfort, but I couldn't hold it together, and indubitably, I vomited all over the ground. Thankfully, we arrived at a place that looked like an enchanted forest.The vibrant colors and fresh scent told me that we were in an enchanted place. The glitter and shimmer all around told me we were in the Elves' territory. Suddenly, a golden gate appeared in front of us, startling not only me but also Romeo.Eleanore smiled, and Elphaba approached the gate. “We are here seeking an audience with His Royal Highness King Aelfraed.” Everly spoke confidently.“Who may I announ
Romeo POVAs soon as I saw those creepy red eyes, I knew we were in the Vampire kingdom. Vampires and werewolves were natural enemies, or so the tales tell. I was defensive and protective of Stella, so I quickly pushed her behind me, and took a fighting stance.The vampire in front of us hissed, and I was about to jump toward him, when Everly stood in front of me. “ Easy, Alpha… He is just the gatekeeper.“I relaxed at her words, but didn't let Stella come out from behind me. “Miss Everly, long time no see.” The vampire's creepy voice greeted her.“Hi, Silas. We are here to speak with your King. Lady Ashia requested an audience.” Everly asked and this Silas guy nodded, opening the gate.We walked towards the gate, and we spotted on top of a mountain a huge gothic castle, an image worthy of every vampire folk tale and movie. Elphaba walke
Stella POVWe walked inside the portal and walked inside a place near a beach. Elphaba, the water elemental witch from the Circle of the Willow, leaned down and placed her hand inside the water. She chanted in a different language, and opened a portal, letting us inside the mermaid Realm.The mermaid realm was stunning, and the place looked straight out of the images one could see in the description of Atlantis. Golden colors and beautiful colorful corals around the buildings. Surprisingly we could breathe inside this place, even without wearing scuba diving gear.We walked inside a golden castle, and were asked to stay inside the throne room. The place was beautiful and shiny. I was mesmerized by its charm and beauty.Elphaba looked my way. “I guess the Queen will be here shortly.”I nodded and then blurted out. “Is it true what the stories tell? That mermaid w
