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
Seeing all of the orphans working on their skills really showed us all just how strong their gifts are. Their gifts are quite impressive. We watch them until it is lunch time and then we begin our trek back to the pack house. Chelsea is happily skipping along since she was chosen to be the leader of her group. It was no surprise to us that she was gifted in each area. Maybe not the most gifted in each area but she was definitely gifted in all. "I think that she might just be happy with the way that camp went today." Dante says laughing. "Yes, it does appear that way. I just hate that I have to tell her more about Simonetta later. I do not want that hanging over her." I admit. "If you don't though then you have to deal with the very real fear that Simonetta is going to find a way to capture her. It might not even be against her will if she does not know the real dangers that she poses." He points out. "I know. Does not make my job easier. I was hoping that by the time I was about
Dante has Sage and Hazel arrive in only a matter of minutes. Amora and Scarlett are not far behind them to help in any way that they are able to. If it was up to many of them this entire house would be full of people to help with either my delivery or my sister. "Do you want me to let Frank know?" Dante asks as he runs a cloth over my forehead.Sometime between now and when Elle told me that I was beginning to go into labor, my body decided to completely flip courses. It was almost like it was in shock before and it was forgetting what it is supposed to do during labor. Now that Elle has told it that it is in labor, it has now remembered that it is constantly supposed to kick my a**.I cannot believe that I forgot to let my own father know that I am in labor. I think that is what he would want from me. Even if it is awfully weird to think of him in here with me during this part of my life when he missed so much more of it. It could be nice for Chelsea though if she has him here. Then
As my labor progresses I begin to feel more of an out of body experience than I had expected. I can still feel the pain and the joy of being in labor but it no longer feels as if it is affecting me as much as it should be. Elle is watching me worriedly as I begin to push out the children. "Dante, I need you to talk to her. I have never delivered hybrid twins for somebody before. She needs you." Elle tells Dante. He looks at her in shock before looking at my face. Whatever he sees there must be enough to make him come towards my head instead of waiting to see the children coming out. He reaches out a hand and begins to stroke my sweaty hair as I keep pushing. "Just a little more and the first one will be out." Elle says triumphantly. At that, I give one big push and feel the baby slide out as Elle waits to catch it. She washes it quickly using the element of water and even pulls some gunk out of the baby's lungs. As soon as the lungs are clear, I can hear a baby begin wailing. Eve
