"Do you think that Elle was able to get a lot of the work done last night?" I ask Dante."I do know that she is your grandmother so I am absolutely positive that she can get it done in record time." Dante tells me."I am glad that you have such great confidence in my abilities. I am excited to see what we have started already." I tell him.Scarlett is going to meet me at the day camp today so that we can check on the progress of the school. She really took to the idea of getting out and not being home waiting for Quin to notice her once again. We have to come up with something better to keep her busy for a while.There is the possiblity that we can have her stay with the witches for a while so that she can help them with the planning. It is also possible that she can help Rand's pack for a short period of time as well. Dante is fully prepared to handle Quin if he gets upset over her not being at their home when he gets back there.Now that it is Thursday we only have two days left bef
The little breakfast Cafe really was a great choice of places to eat at. Chelsea got pancakes in the shape of little wolves while I got a veggie omelet and Dante got eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Then, we all decided to get a huge plate of bacon to split because as delicious as the food is, it just wasn't enough.Now, the pups are trying to do their tasks so that they can get sorted into their teams for tomorrow's big finale. Even though we already know where each of the orphan's strengths lie, we are testing them anyways to see just how strong they are in each of their gifts. "Alright, I made it. Quin was not happy to hear that I was working all day and bringing Ulfred along though." Scarletet says as she walks up to me."Well, at least you were not leaving him somewhere. This way he is still with a parent. Do you want to stay out all night or are you going tow ork up to it? I can help you with either possibility." I offer."I think that I will go home tonight. Maybe tomorrow night we
When Elle levitates us high enough into the air to see the entire outline of the building I think back on all of the pictures that the Moon Goddess has given to me. As soon as I think of what could be different a few details seem to jump right out at me. Even out of the corner of my eye when I am not focused on that area. It is like she is trying to show me exactly what is wrong with this.The towers are just a few feet off of being in each cardinal direction for one. It is not by much but it is by enough that the towers would not be positioned correctly. Then, I see that some of the rooms are also mixed up. It is not a huge deal to me and maybe not to some of the others but I am sure that to the Moon Goddess there is a purpose for each room being where it is.I signal to Elle to lower us to the ground. As soon as my feet touch the ground, I reach out my awareness with the picture of exactly what we need. As soon as I think it, the Earth responds quickly and begins to move all of the
Scarlett is staying with Elle while I go to talk to Aurora. I do not want to risk Scarlett or Ulfred around a witch that I do not trust yet. There is not much that she can do to me but to a werewolf there is plenty that they can accomplish. The fact that they once kidnapped a bunch of werewolves to use as their own personal slaves is a harsh reminder that I need to ensure I never forget again. Even if I did want to believe all of their words earlier when they swore that they were following us just to help.There are so many things that I might have done differently if I had known a lot of the facts that I know now. I did not know that Chelsea was actually my sister or else I never would have let them come with us. I would have found a way to turn them back and make sure that they were unable to get close again. If I had known that Aurora has a way to talk to Simonetta I would have never let her walk wherever she wanted. She has had plenty of opportunities to gather information and gi
"There is nothing that I want to learn from you or your pack. I thought I did but I must have been mistaken." Aurora says with a sneer. "There is plenty to learn from this pack. First, werewolves are not beneath witches. If they were then the Goddess would not have went through all of this work to get my pack and my Coven to this point. Second, hybrids are still your sisters. They are not experiments. You are not going to have two people make a beautiful baby and then experiment on it. That is not acceptable. They are people. You wanted to steal Chelsea from her mother as a mere pup. Why would you ever think that that is okay?" I ask her."Me? I never did. I just do what Simonetta tells me. I did not know that she was going to have me steal a baby. She only ever told me things that she thought I needed to know. This obviously was not one of them." She tells me."I see that you failed to mention the part where you would have told her no. I mean, you would have right?" I ask her.She l
As soon as my illusion gets far enough away, I enter the hidden tunnel behind the quarters that Aurora and her sister and staying in. I need to hear what all they are saying as soon as I leave. They are going to have to talk to each other about more than what they told me. I also need to know if they are working together and just letting me think that they are in opposition or if they really are in opposition.I am also going to make sure that there are no animals or bugs that can get into this room to send messages to Simonetta. I do not think that that is the way that they have been getting her information but it is entirely possible. It is much more likely that Simonetta opted for the one way that she can control the influx of information from Aurora. She is much more likely to choose the way that she can control somebody else over trusting them.That lack of trust could be what ends up being her downfall. She did the same thing in the past but it does not look like she learned he
Elle is not the least bit surprised by any of the news that I have to tell her regarding the sisters. Frankly, I am not exactly surprised either. I wish that it bothered me more but there was not all that much new information when I spied on them. Of course, it is nice to know that Amanda is not on her sister's side as much as we feared she was. There is a little hope there for her."I will make sure that we keep a close eye on them. I will do everything in my power to make sure that they are fed the wrong information and that Amanda is firmly not on her sister's side. Maybe we can stop this all from getting worse." Elle assures me."I need you back at the cottage this afternoon though. Chelsea has to resume her lessons. I cannot have something happen to her and not have a way for her to defend herself. It would also be nice if she could meet with some of the werewolves that Simonetta had kidnapped. She needs to know the risk in case Simonetta comes and tries to sway her to go with he
When we arrive back at the training center, I am surprised to see that Frank has already managed to get Rand here to watch the training and so that I can speak to him. Dante must have passed the message to Frank, who in turn passed it on to Rand. Having these communication lines can sometimes be extremely helpful.Rand is currently watching some of the orphans try to jump over a bar that is about 10 feet off of the ground. It is not something that many full grown werewolfs can do so I am surprised that Dante has some of the pups trying it. I am even more surprised that it seems like some of them are able to make the jump. "Wow, this training is remarkable. I never would have thought to try having them do some of this stuff." Rand says to me as I join him."I wouldn't either. Dante must have seen something in them to have them working on it now. It is not something we normally train for this early. Seeing them make the jump is truly extraordinary." I admit."Yes, yes it is. They are r
"Wait, you can do that?" Frank asks shocked. "Yes, of course I can. It is not something that I have done often, actually only one other time but it is an option. It is one that terrifies her." I admit. "Who did you do it to before?" Rand asks me. "I did it to Morden. There was no other way to stop her from coming after my pack or my family." I answer simply. "Your grandmother said that Simonetta was behind that the entire time. That only makes it right that she gets the same punishment if not worse than what Morden received." Rand points out. I had not thought of it that way but it is true. Still, we need to have a system set up for something like this. Otherwise, there will always be somebody that takes advantage of the power and that is not something that I can condone. "That is very true. I had not thought of that but this is not a decision to be made lightly. There might be longer reaching consequences that even I am not aware of by using this ability. Still, I see no other o
It did not take long at all for the Hybrid Council to arrive. They all file in looking a little shocked to see Simonetta there, unable to use her magic as she floats slightly in the air. Quickly, they find their seats. Then, both Rand and Frank walk in as well. I had not thought of inviting them but I am glad that Dante did. With how long she terrorized their pack it is only fitting that they are here for this as well.I smile at them all as they whisper among themselves for a few moments. This is a bit of a shock for those that were not here to see Simonetta arrive. For Frank and Rand, they finally see their enemy tied up and floating in the air. They are not aware that I can take away her ability to use magic so this is going to be a shock to them when the meeting starts. "I take it you called us all here for a reason?" Elle says once everyone starts to calm down."Yes, I did. As everybody here knows, Simonetta has caused quite a few problems for us. She has terrorized werewolves,
Simonetta rushes towards me using wind to guide her speed. It is not enough to throw me off guard though and I shove a wall of dirt up in front of me. She almost crashes into it before she is able to skid to a stop at the last second. If she had prepared then she might have been able to use the air that was helping her speed up to me to jump over the wall but instead, she is used to using her other powers for combat and did not make the decision in time.As soon as she begins to stop, I tear down the wall and shift into werewolf form quickly to land on top of her with my teeth to her neck. Out of all of the forms that I could have turned into this was the only one that registered as an option. I would like for her to see the one thing that she thinks is beneath her be the thing that brings her down. For once, she surprises me when she throws me off of her with some air. I quickly flip over and land on my paws. I shift back and face her again. She is breathing hard and I find myself a
As soon as my illsuion drops I see Simonetta's face blanche. Chelsea drops to the ground and has it swallow her up as she falls through it to meet the others. I send her a brief thank you as she helps to keep them all safe from whatever back up plan Simonetta could have.She sends me a sad farewell. Apparently she is worried about whether or not I am going to make it out of this one. I might not have used much magic recently but I guarantee that there is no way I will let her get away with this threat. Today, she is going to go down and she is not going to be a threat to anybody with werewolf blood ever again."Wait, you had the baby? No! You can't have had it already!" She screams in rage."Actually, I can. There was nothing stopping me from having it. There is also nothing in the way of me putting a stop to you and your bullying once and for all" I say. She takes a few steps back as she steels herself for what we bothk now is going to happen next. It is a shame that the rest of the
"Why would she ever want to go with you?" I ask Simonetta in shock."I am sure that she can see the benefits when she realizes that if she doesn't then she will never get to meet the bundle of joy in your stomach. I will personally make sure that you are unable to deliever them. After all, the more powerful the babes the less the mother can use magic so I am sure that you are not able to defend yourself very well." Simonetta says triumphantly.I try my best to look worried. I really do. I find that it is difficult to be worried about her though. She has never really had a lot of sway over me. Even when I first realized how much stronger than her I am I had found it difficult to be scared of her. "You really think that I am afraid of you? Even without being able to use my powers you do not worry me. I have plenty of other witches that are able to come and help me." I say."Not before something bad happens to you. Chelsea, I would hate to see for anything bad to happen to Laina. I just
Each team splits up and gets ready to make their way through the obstacle course. They are all going to have to take turns trying to make it through safely. Each team has a designated amount of time before they get elminated. The one that makes it through the fastest and with the least amount of mistakes, will be the ones to win the competition. The course is very similar to the one that we did with the entire pack when we first started training. The one that really got the women moving faster as they fought to make good time through the course to beat the men. This one is just a little more geared towards children and not fully grown adults.Some of the obstacles are smaller to better accomodate their size, some things are closer together and they have even added some new obstacles that would have been difficult for the adults. There are also some obstacles that are going to require teamwork to make it through. If they do not work together then they have no hope of making it to the
It takes much longer than planned to get the babies ready for travel. I have never packed a diaper bag before but luckily Scarlett shows up to help me get them ready and squeal over the twins for a minute. Or more precisely, several minutes."I can't believe that they are finally here! I swear it felt like your pregnancy was never going to end. Every time that I thought you were going into labor and you never did. Yesterday, I had no idea that you were going into labor. How did you keep that from me?!" She says to me."It was not exactly on purpose. I did not even know that I was in labor until I spoke to Dante and then Elle confirmed it. It was a really odd day. We had a lot that happened that day so I thought that everything I was feeling was just from stress." I admit to her."Ha! For once, I could have answered that if you had just talked to me. Instead, you have me doing made up jobs with you to help me out." She says excitedly.I shake my head as she begins showing me exactly h
The first night with the babies was quite a bit of a learning curve. Whenever we put them in their bassinets they just started to cry nonstop until we picked them up again. It took a couple of hours to find out that if we put them into the same bassinet they were able to sleep peacefully and not wake us up. By the time we managed learning that, I was beyond exhausted and ready to sleep. Thankfully, there was more than enough people in the house to help us out throughout the night.When I wake up I find that Dante is already standing over their bassinet watching them sleep. They have managed a few hours of sleep straight which for me was quite shocking considering that they are newborns. "How are they?" I ask him sleepily.Chelsea decided to sleep on one of the loveseats last night as well. She was just too excited to go to sleep in her bedroom after I had the babies. I do not blame her but as she shifts when I start talking I do realize that that might have been a mistake. She is goi
Chelsea comes running in once the babies start to cry for food. Her face is filled with excitement as she rushes over to me. Even though they are hungry, I allow her to hold and rock Caterine while I first feed Archer. I might get good enough to be able to feed them both at once in the future but for now feeding just one is tricky. I never knew that it could be this hard to feed a baby."Hi Caterine, I am your Aunt Chelsea. We are going to be best friends. You are going to get to go to school with werewolf pups and use magic. It is going to be wonderful. I can't wait to teach you everything that I know." Chelsea coos to the baby making all of us smile.It is a good thing that she already has so much experience being around babies because she does a great job holding Caterine while Archer is feeding. She does sit down though as she looks at her. Even though Caterine was crying just a moment ago from hunger, she is now looking at Chelsea with wide eyes. Werewolf pups have much better ey
