2024-10-29 19:42:56I stared out the window trying to catch a glance at the streets, but it was beginning to get dark and just left me wondering which packs had arrived. I climbed into bed wishing I could just sleep through the next four days. My birthday and the carnival would all pass by, and there wouldn’t be so much tension and pressure.
6am came too soon.
Farah's knock always made me smile, it was just so... her. When I opened the door however, it wasn't just Farah, the makeup and hair ladies had decided to tag along. They hurried me through the shower and whisked me and Farah into basic hair and makeup today. Farah had picked out my clothes today, bringing me out a yellow floor length dress that we had purchased the day before. It was much like a spaghetti strap on top, form fitting, but with sheer and flowy short sleeves, and a sheer overlay as it tapered out from my waist.
I slipped into some comfy, dark colored flats, and watched as Farah slipped into a purple sun dr

“Avi breath,” Theo urged, but I didn’t even notice I had stopped, “the Timber pack has a reputation for never attending these things, I don’t expect them until last minute.”I could feel Farah instantly relax overhearing his words, her posture becoming less rigid as we waited, in what seemed like, the longest silence until we seen uniform vehicles approaching.I hadn’t seen anyone from Evergreen, besides Troy’s mate, but I recognized the Alpha who stepped from the vehicle. He was one of the few Alpha’s who had visited Moon Rising on multiple occasions before he took over their pack, but I had only ever caught glimpses of him through my window. I was never expected as a child to entertain guests, only after I turned 16 had my parents started to groom me to be proper, and now I know why.“Alpha Alexander!” Theo greeted him as he approached us, but Alpha’s always shook hands like coexi

I was consumed in watching them, the way they looked at each other and softly grasped at one another’s arms made it seem like they were just two halves of the same person, never meant to be apart. They were tunnel visioned to each other, never breaking their sight from one another or caring what was going on around them as they fell heavier and heavier into each other.As we all stood there watching their bond unfold, I could feel Echo’s longing for that to be us, she was like a giant puppy, lapping up all the emotions between them in awe. It was heavy, it was pure, it was everything. I was starting to understand what Echo had been saying, allowing myself to picture how it would feel to have that kind of unfiltered love, and maybe even crave that for myself.“Well,” Jacob interrupted the moment with a boasting laugh, “if that isn’t a good sign, I don’t know what is!” Jacob’s Beta had ushered Farah and her mystery ma

When I opened my eyes, I had a thin layer of sweat covering my body, I could feel the dampness chill my body even though I could also feel the weight of the blanket on top of me. I forced myself to sit up and immediately called out the Echo.‘Happy Birthday to us,’ she scoffed.I clenched my shirt in my hands, steadying my heavy breathing, relieved that it was a dream, or more so a nightmare.‘Thanks, I was worried about you too’ I rolled my eyes. I walked into the bathroom and started scrubbing my mouth out, as if the thick, sour, taste of fear, from my dream was real.When I walked back towards my bed, I realized the sun was up, 8:36 read the clock beside my bed. I was usually one to never pay attention to time, but I wanted to get through my birthday.I was officially 18, I half expected to feel different some how, but I didn’t. I felt like normal me, every day me, unmated me. Echo was already pacing and wanting me to run around tow

Farah already had her mark and I audibly gasped as I took it in. My jaw must have been on the floor as I remained staring at it, I knew marks resembled their mates, who ultimately complemented them to the fullest, but it was the perfect shade of blue for her.“It’s not fully healed yet, that takes a few days,” she moved her shirt over slightly to reveal the whole mark.“I knew it! Spill Farah, spill now!” I demanded.I knew what marking and mating entailed, but it was somehow still such a mystery, something that was unique to each wolf so it was something that no one could quite explain properly. She sat across from me and spilled her heart out as Claire fussed with her hair, and Abby moved onto her when my makeup was complete.I was in awe at everything she was telling me, it was hitting me in all the right places and making me ache for that chance. Echo was lapping it up and making mental notes for later, even though I’m sure she knew exactly what to

Theo glanced my way as I inhaled slowly, taking in his citrus scent and calming my nerves.“I’m ready,” I nodded at him. I wasn’t sure I was ready, but I was ready to eliminate any of these Alphas as my mate, that couldn’t be the plan of the Moon Goddess, surely she had some grand adventure in mind for me.The guards opened the doors and the room fell silent, I had never been announced before, and the guards voice seemed to boom off every wall as he let Theo and I’s title roll off his tongue. I was thankful that there were only a few handful of steps that led down onto the floor, and tried to focus on taking in the room oppose to my feelings. Every time I took in a gold-colored banner, a birthday sign, or the tables set with food and drink I could feel Echo searching. Frantic to find the scent she had been looking for.‘Enough,’ I hissed at her, ‘please Echo I will make rounds, but I’m alre

My eyes widened as my lungs filled with the smell that I had been longing for all day, and I heard his rough voice from behind me as I turned looking for him, "Avi... you look... stunning."I locked into his light brown eyes but I was still frantic, searching and waiting for Echo to help me, but she was absent. My heart was racing, where the hell was she, I needed her and she was gone. I tried registering the scent on my own, focusing on what I was feeling, but what I was searching for seemed just beyond my grasp.I felt his comfort radiate towards me, his eyes burning into my own, trying to take away all my anxiety and soothe my nerves as he took a step towards me.'Echo what the hell!’ I hissed at her. Maybe I had felt the mate bond the whole time with him, maybe there was no big reveal.'There's nothing here for us Avi,’ her voice was softer than I wanted. I wanted her to yell, I wanted her to scream, I wanted to fee

Troy sat next to me, and didn’t say anything for a while. I was so embarrassed, confused, and quite surprised thinking back on that conversation that Theo put up with me at all.“I’m sorry you heard all that…” I squeaked out.Troy turned his eyes on me and let out an empathetic sigh, “When Rowan finds his mate, he won’t feel anything towards you either…. But you need to let him go, so he searches.”I never thought of it like that, I had been holding Ro back. He was so focused on me, on us, that he hasn’t really tried to find his mate. I knew Theo and Troy would be there for him, but I wasn’t sure how we would get from here to fine again. If I broke his heart, I would have to sacrifice the only friend I had left here.Troy cleared his throat, “I won’t pretend to know the kind of pressure Theo is under, and I know you never asked for my advice, but the Moon Goddess always has a

As soon as we arrived at the Carnival the atmosphere was light and fun filled, the air filled with scents of sweet treats and playful but competitive, testosterone. There were little pups running from food booth to food booth, couples completely immersed with each other, and older members of the pack just taking it all in.I walked with Troy through the crowds for a bit, taking in everyone’s excitement and anticipation. We stopped to grab a drink from one of the many vendors when I noticed Troy's face was not as chipper as everyone else's and I immediately felt guilty."I'm sorry you are stuck babysitting me today instead of enjoying this with Cheyenne," I said softly to Troy."I'm happy to be here with you Octavia," he smiled at me, "she will be here all day with me tomorrow.""Will you still be happy here if we are on the Ferris wheel?" I asked mischievously as I glanced behind him to where it stood. I knew he wasn't a huge fan of heights, but it

MYLO “Isabelle will be stripped of her powers until she is determined to not be a threat anymore,” Xander informed us. The room had been cleared of everyone but the royals, myself, Dahlia and Nora. “We have someone in Shadow Forest who can accomplish it and make sure it’s maintained,” Brianna said as she assessed me, “your father informed us that you would like the right to end Marcus’s life. Are you positive that you want to bear that burden, that you have thought about having to tell Nora in the future?” “We have,” I glanced down at Dahlia and Nora. “It’s my job to protect them, no one else should have to burden themselves with Marcus’s death. Nora will understand, if she cares to ask, that it was her life or his.” “With me then,” Xander motioned for me to fol

BRIANNA I was hesitant to keep my heirs in here for this, but the boys assured me they needed to see. Orion explained the nature of what was about to happen to Mylo and Dahlia who have both chosen to join us. “I’d like my mate to join me,” Marie’s timid voice rang out, “but if that’s not something you’d prefer, I would still like to remain.” Seeing as though Octavia would just fill him in later anyways, I gave her a nod of approval and Timber’s Beta was charged with keeping Nora safe in the next room. When Marcus came into the room, there was a shift in energy, as was to be expected, but when Terran entered the room, Dixon became visibly stiff. I knew Dixon had issues surrounding Fae, but to see such a strong immediate reaction was surprising. I guess he didn’t know that Marie’s mate was Fae until now.

BRIANNA Alaric may have felt like Nixon’s outburst was harmless, but anytime he let his powers slip was dangerous. I wanted to talk to him about it, not that it would change anything, but I also felt like I had talked about it with him until I was blue in the face. Nixon wanted to let his powers loose, he had been practicing with them lately, and I knew Octavia could help him to an extent, but it just seemed too dangerous to let his secret out. How many species would come for him? How would we stop them or protect him? Not only that, but I know from experience the hunger for controlling power killed my parents, Dez’s parents, and most of what should have been my pack. The problem was that he was too carefree, too powerful, and getting too old now for us to hold him back.

MYLOSomething happened between Nixon and Terran, what I wasn’t sure, but we could find out about it later when we had privacy.My mother scooped up Nora instantly when everyone made their way to the tables, positioning herself across from us, beside Brianna.“I’m glad to see your sister’s mate,” Xander started as he glanced down to where they sat at the far end of the table from us, “doesn’t insult easily.”“He’s used to dealing with my brother’s,” I smiled, “and he is mated to Marie.”“You’re too hard on her,” Wyatt laughed as he pulled Brianna into his lap, “what did you expect with parents like yours,&rdqu

TERRANMylo tried to prepare me for meeting their royals, and although they were something to take notice of, they clearly didn’t have the same effect on me as they did on everyone else. Marie was already wound tighter than cramped roots over everything that was going on, but when they walked in, every hair on her body stood at attention. Once they were in front of her, her energy shifted again as she dropped into a calm state that I hadn’t been able to get her to since the Marcus and Izzy incident.The kings were just how they described them, beastly in their appearance, dead inside if their facial expressions were any indication. Other than a side smile to the Luna, they were basically emotionless, standing by like psychopaths just waiting to be unleashed by their queen.When the heirs were introdu

DAHLIA I jolted at the sound when one of the kings cleared his throat. Watching the Queen be smitten with Nora was bringing a new level of comfort and happiness to me, a product I’m sure of the loyalty their blood brought out in me. It was a weird emotion to identify, but I felt in debt to them somehow when I’d only just met them, like any negative thought I could muster to think was suddenly gone and replaced with an intense need to appease them. My whole body seemed so relaxed now, a stark contrast to moments before they walked in, and it was easy to get swept away in watching the Queen take in Nora, so much so that I forgot anyone else was in the room with us. “You’ll have to excuse Brianna,” he started as he picked up my hand and kissed the top of it, “she’s apparently lost her mind now that a baby is

DAHLIAI was a nervous train wreck even though I tried not to let it show. I held my head steady as we walked into the packhouse, every wolf we passed looking at us with caution as we passed by.‘Your instincts are correct,’ Mylo linked me as he squeezed my hand slightly when we entered the dining area, ‘but you are safe here, so try to enjoy yourself, Luna.’‘That was definitely not the impression you just gave to Terran,’ I linked back as I caught sight of his parents. After he was done re-explaining things to Terran, I felt as though I had been given the child version of his warnings.&lsq

MYLO When Marie and Terran arrived they were escorted to an accommodation close to us to get settled in. Dahlia was pacing back and forth as I fed Nora. Anxious, like myself, to get the next few days over with, but it shouldn’t be long before Alderic is back to get ready for supper. Supper would be a good distraction for her as she focuses on the royals, but it posed another level of worry for me. While the royals never posed a threat to us before, Wyatt was unpredictable at best and I haven't had contact with the heirs often enough to be able to judge their behaviours. Dahlia's eyes were slightly glossed over as she 'tidied' up the place, pausing at one point and staring out of one of the windows at the front.I pla

MYLO “Is she pissed?” Alderic asked as I stepped outside to wait for Dahlia. “No,” I shook my head, “but you’re lucky SHE was the one who submitted you.” “Yea that one’s on me,” he shook his head, "all this Alpha energy is making Leto brazen. You'd think he'd be the opposite, I mean he's no coyote," he looked at me and laughed lightly, tucking his hands into his pockets, "but he's used to being around it, we've done things like this since we were kids." Leto had a history of trying to outrank other leaders so it didn’t come to me as a surprise. What mattered most to me was that he was already tempering Leto before Dahlia made him submit and that I knew when it came down to it that he would lay down his life for her and Nora.
