2024-10-29 19:42:56The drive seemed to take forever but was probably only fifteen more minutes. Not only did I not want it getting out that I wasn’t actually a Lennox, but anyone who knew my birth mom would make the other connection I was still ignoring.
Kal carried me upstairs once we got home, I could tell he wasn't sure what to say to me if anything. I could feel his guilt, but it wasn't his fault he didn't know the real identity of my birth mother, I only just found out he knew I wasn't a Lennox last night.
"Can we take a bath?" My voice was soft and defeated. I knew the soaker tub would easily accommodate us, and I needed all of him against all of me. I needed his sparks and his scent to wrap around me and not let go.
He just looked at me with those deep green eyes and nodded. His touches were incredibly gentle as he helped me undress and ran the water, slowly lifting us in. I was straddled on his lap facing him, his hand gently cupping and stroking my cheek

I must have fallen asleep in his arms, when I woke up, I could feel the sparks of his skin on mine, and the warmth of the fireplace at my back as I squirmed in discomfort. His anger was similar to the night my arm was broken, but it was so steady it surrounded me, it felt uncomfortable and painful even."Kal..." I started groggily, my eyes shooting open as a sudden rush of worry mixed with relief lifted the anger a bit, "what's wrong?"His eyes were swirling the green flecks around as I ran my hand up his chest and wrapped it around his neck. "Your anger hurts Kal," I whined as a stinging sense of shock rolled over me.I turned my head slightly to see Eathen and Nicholi sitting in chairs across from where we were. I was so confused and disoriented as I turned my head back to Kal, "Where did you find me?""In bed Octavia," his voice was concerned but sounded frustrated, "where did you go?""I woke up outside..." I was trying to grasp at anything tha

As we made our way down into the kitchen, and I watched him cook us up some food, I couldn't help but think of how defenseless I was. When we travelled here, if whoever was in the trees made it to the vehicle before Kal, I would be dead, and if I was really out wandering around rogue territory at night, I could have died."Will you teach me how to fight?" I blurted out and caused him to snap his head in my direction.He thought about it for a moment, "Moon Rising doesn't train you, do they?""No, girls aren't allowed to train," I scoffed and folded my arms as he analyzed my face. He would probably refuse to train me as well, but I could try, I hated feeling like prey and the only way I had to defend myself now was to outrun them.I rolled my eyes at him as he was taking too long to respond. He walked around the counter and lifted me up to sit on it, looking him more eye to eye."Everyone is trained here once their wolf appears around 14." His words

When we got down to the training room Eathen and Nicholi were dressed much the same. Fully dressed they looked similar in size to Kal, a bit smaller, but looking at them now, I truly recognized what a beast Kal was, and it made me wonder when we went back to Moon Rising how small I would think Theo was in comparison.Kal’s arms were explosive, his shoulders and biceps are huge and bulky, making his arms rest away from his chest slightly, where Eathen and Nicholi's muscles were large but still fit within their frame.Eathen stood by me and talked through some basic self defence moves that Kal was going through with poor Nicholi, making alterations as we went through and explaining what to do differently if I was in wolf form. He assured me once I was comfortable in human form that Echo would take over with the info and know what to do, that she had her instincts to guide her, and if we were good at fighting in person, that our wolves would just be an extension of

Kal's eyes snapped to me intensely, eager to agree to whatever came out of my mouth, or at least I hoped."Number one, We have to go to Moon Rising first, my mom gave me a necklace that my birth mother made her promise to give to me on my 18th birthday, and in my utter fear for my life," I smirked at him, "I forgot to tell them to grab it when we left - BUT if you agree to this, you can't kill Ro...wan." I almost called him by his nickname and that would have set him off even further, his eyes had already suddenly changed, piercing me as they thought about my request."Or Troy I guess... or Theo!" I threw in quickly."How many boyfriends did you have," his face was angry and tense, but his voice came out so low and possessive that it made my thighs quiver."None of them were my 'boyfriend' Kal, you know Theo is my brother," I rolled my eyes, "besides, does it matter? You were my first everything, you are mine, and I am yours," I slowly leant in to k

As we walked into the training room Nicholi looked a little worried, while Eathen looked mischievously excited. I think Eathen agree with me that I needed to be trained, he knew Kal hated the idea, but to have a Luna untrained in a territory where everyone else was, was just asking for trouble.Kal paired me with Nicholi first, as him and Eathen modelled what to do. It was just going through the motions, but it felt like progress. Over the next few days the training graduated to a bit more hand to hand with less instruction, I could tell they were holding back as far as strength went, but I felt pretty fast in comparison.Kal always told me I was doing well, but he would say anything to make me satisfied enough with my training level to stop. It wasn't until I spent a day with Elle catching up, that I found out Eathen told her he was impressed with my progress. He would never tell me that in person, but knowing that, meant a lot to me.I kept pushing Kal to let

"Yea...wolf... mate bond remember?" I rolled my eyes at them as I stood up.Eathen looked at Kal and Nicholi like they were mind linking a conversation, it was annoying to say the least that I was being left out."Wanna share with the class boys?" I raised my eyebrow at them but they all just stared at me for a minute and I seen Kal wince, which I assumed was in response to my now raging anger. I was angrier than I had ever been, he wouldn't really let me train, and now he was having private conversations after he specifically forbid it before."No? Great!" I was full on yelling at them as I started to stomp off, "Only wants to tell me sometimes, so much for not keeping anything from me, some fucking rules Kal."Kal’s voice boomed behind me, but in a tentative way, "Octavia stop!"I twirled on my heel around at them, I may have been too bold, but I didn't care at this point, all I could see was red and I was surprised Echo hadn't shifte

“Can you guys not feel other people’s emotions???" My heart was racing as I stared at Kal waiting on a reaction."Umm...." Nicholi interrupted, "I feel violated," he smirked at me as Eathen shoved him for making jokes.Kal stroked his hand down my face, drawing my attention back to him, his voice was deep but soft again, "I can feel the sparks,” he cupped my face with his hand, “just like I can feel your body react to mine.”He adjusted the ice on my ribs and I winced a little, “I can feel when you're in pain, like when you cracked a rib hitting the mat, or when your anger was painful to you.” I could feel his sadness wash over me gently as my own guilt grew, he was protecting me when I didn’t realize I fractured something, not hindering my training because of his emotions.He lifted my chin so I was looking at him again, his voice was softer than I had ever heard it be, his words came out cautiously like th

Kal paused briefly to look at me, my eyes were filled with tears for him and what he went through, then continued.“I will never tell another person, and it will never get out. No one but you and I know the real truth my love, and that is that I don’t think it was me that killed the rogue. Someone else had to have been there, to have helped in passing, but I will never know. It’s what my legacy is built on, what my people believe, and what makes them believe in me as their protector - along with events that came about as I aged, that corroborated that story." His voice was steady, but I could tell he was nervous, embarrassed slightly, even with the conviction of his choices mirroring his words.He took my face in his hand, “That story was the only secret I had to share with you, and it doesn’t change how you feel about me, does it?” His voice was sure, like he was making a point, but I could tell he was apprehensive for my answ

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.
