MARIE
Mato was all but dragging me around, pausing every so often to survey the passing people and give himself enough time to take in the scents around him. The only fun part of this was catching glimpses of the games going on and being able to snag some cotton candy. Thankfully I had Ainsley to drag onto a few rides with me during Mato’s pauses, and it seemed to pass the time quickly.
With no scent, I was confident that I wouldn’t attract my mate, but there was always that chance. I’ve heard stories of mates knowing who their mate was before they were even old enough to have wolves, my mother being one of them, and mates being drawn to each other no matter what, like the queen and her kings, but I had to push those thoughts to the back of my mind. Surely those were extreme circumstances, I mean the queen was an Alpha, and my mother is a pretty

ALDERIC Leto wasn't thrilled when I shifted back into control. He had spent the better part of two days redirecting Kai back to Timber, and now that we were finally home he didn’t trust that Kai wouldn’t just take off again. I’m surprised he got him to come back at all, but the promise of more wolves, our best tracker, and the safety of our sisters is all that coaxed him here. I can’t say I would do any differently, he was desperate for the scent of his mate, and the rejection… the rejection. I can’t understand why someone would immediately reject their mate. I wasn’t about to talk suspicions with Mylo, but she could already be with someone she considers a mate but hasn’t marked, or she could be the kind who doesn’t believe in mates, hell, she could even be a Marie. She believes in mates, she just doesn’t wa

MARIEThe panic in my chest subsided as quickly as it came on. Their howls in the distance were my only assurance that Mylo wasn't coming up here for me. I would do anything for him, but I could never forgive myself if my visions led him astray.The door crept open and exhaustion filled me as my mother slipped into the room. It was better than anyone else, but I didn't need any more guilt trips today."I didn't know anything," I rolled my eyes, "regardless of what Mato thinks.""I didn't ask," she said, placing herself on the bed beside me, "and I had a conversation with your brother," she waited for me to look at her, "he wants what's best for you, even if he goes about it the wrong way."An acknowledging but unsur

MARIEI’ve been waiting to hear more news now for four days, and with not even a phone call from Alderic, things have been tense around my brothers.I made a decision in the garden to stop pushing my powers away and I’ve been trying to warm up to the idea ever since. I've been thinking about Mylo and about what his mate would be like to entice something to come to me, but I just can’t control them.Matt walked into the kitchen at lunch and looked like he’d seen better days. His auburn hair that was usually slicked back had fallen messily around his face, making it worse the more he played with it. The bags under his eyes made him look much older than fifteen as he plopped himself down in the chair opposite me. He looked at me like he was deep

MYLO It’s been over four weeks since I’ve laid eyes on her, thirty-four days to be exact, but every time I close my eyes… there she is. Her blue-green eyes drawing me in like the ocean themselves, pulling me under as her words took the breath from my lungs. I’ve replayed that moment too many times to count, the way my body was bulking in anticipation, inviting her to come and claim what is hers. The way the sun broke through the tree canopy, falling on her like an Angel delivered to Earth and highlighting the golden tones in her hair that rippled so perfectly in the wind. My utter adoration of her is what ultimately failed me. I didn’t notice the panic in her eyes. I didn’t notice the fear riddled in her motions. She was scared of something, and as her mate,

MATOKane running loose did nothing to ease my tension. It felt closed in here, waiting and never knowing what the next update from Alderic would be. I wanted to believe that if Mylo found his mate that she would come back here, but the reality was that the situation was unpredictable at best.I can't stay asleep anymore. I wake up too often wishing I could be useful in finding our rightful Luna, wishing I could do anything really to help. Now that Tayo was back, there wasn't much need for my help here. He would find things for me to do like helping with training, perimeter sweeps, even throwing me on patrol, but in the end, my help wasn't truly needed there.As I walked into the house I could hear the girls laughing about something in the kitchen. It was nice to hear someone in a good mood for once, even though

MATO“I think it was hibiscus, and something like apples, pears maybe?" Marie made a face like she was satisfied with that smell identification."What does Hibiscus smell like?" I asked as I'd rarely spent time near a garden. Some floral scents were around more and were easy to pick out, but Hibiscus?"Hibiscus doesn’t really smell unless you brew it," she started, "but that's what it smelt like, if you’ve ever had it, you know it. It’s like light florals and some kind of cranberry or pomegranate scent.” My expression must have given something away when the realization hit me because she looked like she was waiting for me to tell her what I was thinking.“You need to tell Mylo,” I ran my fingers through my hair, “

MARIE When Mylo got back to Timber it was a welcomed surprise. I wasn’t sure what Mylo was going to do with the information I gave him on the vision I had, but I think he made the right call. The pack needs him and if he won’t come across his mate for another few months, it’s better spent here. Alderic said he would make his rounds through the pack, spreading his scent for everyone to recognize before he ventured back to his addition on the main house. I'm sure as much as he also missed the pack, that they would be overwhelming for him right now. Things were already changing and he hadn’t been back for more than a few hours. I overheard Marek saying that priority was now being placed on making Timber safe so that when he did find his mate, it would be read

MARIE This worked for my mom, it should work for me... right? Who am I kidding, I’ve been in Eclipse for almost a month and haven’t made any progress. Rhoda is trying different things, slowly, and I’ve been told to have patience more times than I could count, but she doesn’t understand what it’s like to be at the mercy of what little powers I have. Completely helpless when it comes to trying to control them, and she was very upfront with telling me she can’t guarantee anything will work because she’s never had ‘premonition’ powers. My mom seems like she has a little of everything, except what my gifts are. She has a version of it, but they only come to her when they include us, when she's involved somehow. She tells me all the time that I’m special because of the kind of gift I have, but it only feels isolating.
