2024-10-29 19:42:56Kal's fear made me alert, and brought me back from whatever self pity trance I was in.
"What aren't you telling me Kal," I demanded, "I can literally feel your guilt, and why are you both some degree of afraid?"
His jaw tensed as he took a deep breathe in, "You should be afraid Octavia, you need to start thinking before you place yourself in so much danger. We need to get out of this territory, any rogues out there are now aware of my scent... and yours... being there." His eyes were flashing brightly and I could tell Sabre was near the surface. He was completely on edge, as was Eathen, and it was my fault, again.
"We will get answers from your parents later,” I could feel his guilt surfacing, “Theodore told me you ran away as a child and something happened to you."
"WHAT!" I screamed and made Eathen flinch, my words were defeated as they flew out with my tears, "Why didn't we find out before we left Kal, you knew how bad I wanted

Day 1The darkness took over and my eyes struggled to allow any bit of light back in as it started to fade.Did I faint again? From what? I couldn't recall anything other than changing my clothes. As I tried to grasp what happened to me, I realized it was colder where I was than I remembered it being. I tried to take in scents around me but I was only met with a damp odor.I called out to Echo, but was met with no response. My heart started to race, maybe my powers brought me somewhere again... Kal! I shot straight up and frantically tried to adjust to the light and look around, I couldn't see Kal, I couldn't smell him, he would never leave me... where the fuck was I?My mind was racing a mile a minute as I took in my surroundings, I was in a room and on a bed but I didn't recognize anything around me. I couldn't reach Echo or Kal but this didn't seem like a dream.My wrists were burning, I looked down

Day 4 I woke up early and prepared myself for breakfast, I had to attempt to eat to have a chance at getting out of here. When Garrett arrived, at least half of it was gone."Ready?" He smiled at me and motioned to follow. I was barely hiding my absolute hate for him as I left the room. There were two guards in front and behind us as we walked down a long hallway, and out into a huge green space. The hallway gave nothing away, it seemed like there wasn't many ways in and out of the building itself."I don't understand what you hope to gain from kidnapping me," I broke the silence.We walked slowly around the building and down a path that circled the property, he was drawing the walk out which gave me time to survey my surroundings, but I became more and more impatient for him to answer me, before he finally spoke."Octavia, you know what I hope to gain, some strong pups and heirs. I meant what I said before, you can ta

Day 14 It has been two weeks without Kal, and I still miss him so much it hurts. The nausea was starting to come less frequently, and Garrett had left me to detox alone in here for almost a week, which I was thankful for.I decided to make myself take a shower, but when I caught myself in the mirror, I looked pale and exhausted, and the only thing brightening my day was looking at my mark and the necklace I refused to take off. It felt like an extension of me now, and I couldn’t bring myself to take it off for anything, it reminded too much of Kal.I had to search around for more body wash when I came across tampons, they really did think of everything, and at least I knew where they were now because it should be close as my breasts were fairly tender the past few days.Day 16For two days I had been deciding on something, and I woke up this morning with a sure feeling about it. I was going to

Day 18I woke up early to get sick, throwing another tampon in the mix. As I laid back down I decided it was time to shake off my depressed feelings, and hone in on getting the fuck out of here. I told the guard who brought in breakfast that I wanted to speak with Garrett, and when he arrived we went on our usual stroll where I broke our silence.“I took our last conversation to heart, I think if this is where I’m going to be, then we should at least try to get to know each other better.”“I couldn’t agree more sweetheart, what did you have in mind?” He was beaming.“I like surprises, you pick,” I forced a sweet smile his way. This was all hard, but I tried to pretend I was someone else and act like I was in a movie, because in my heart I knew none of this was real, and that seemed to make it easier.“Dinner it is,” he boomed, “I will have someone come and get you an

Day 18 Cont'dI thought of the dream I had before, the cold wind and how the dirt felt between my toes. Suddenly I could see the moon through the same dense forest I was in before. It felt different this time, like I was watching things unfold, able to tell what my younger self was feeling, but not associate it with how I was currently feeling.Younger me was panicked, and her chest was heaving up and down, her little legs were tired and sore as if she had just run miles to get where she was. She started to manoeuvre through the trees, up a slight hill to where another flat stretch of earth was, but the branches were ripping at her skin and pushing her back as her lungs burned to get to the top.When she got there, she felt determined, like she was seeking out something, and when she tripped and took in the smell of water, she wanted to get there first.The small clearing I had seen before appeared, and she took in a huge gulp of water to

Day 19I woke up feeling refreshed, the dream had delivered me a sense of peace, Kal's scent from it delivering me a deep sleep.As I woke up alone and without it, a pain lingered in my chest, one I knew I couldn't afford to dwell on. I was desperately trying to remain focused and reign in my feelings, but I missed Kal so much it was like having knives pinning my body to the bed, unable to move, scared to even breathe.I allowed myself five minutes to grieve, before picking up my mood by reminding myself that I needed to focus all of my energy on getting out of here. My thoughts drifted to how different the dream felt, how the note said that the necklace would lead me to my destiny, and that destiny was Kal.The first time the dream happened I was unskilled, and fighting through it the whole time, too consumed with ignoring my powers and finding my way back to Kal, that I missed the whole point of it. I thought it was me, and not a younge

Eathen's POVIt had been over two weeks since our Luna disappeared, and around day five, we lost Kallan.I could never, and would never, want to imagine the kind of pain he was in. He went off alone for days with grief and rage, as me and Theodore continued the methodical search back to where she was taken.When he returned, he wasn’t Kallan anymore. Sabre had completely taken over both in wolf and in human form now for over a week, his eyes had a constant glow, he only ate in wolf form, and sleep was little and far between. Sabre really didn’t give two fucks about what anyone else wanted, if you got in his way, or he even suspected that you were holding him back, you were dead.Theodore had taken off on his own search, not that I could blame him with Sabre running the show. He wanted to help, he was desperate to find his sister, but he didn't want to be associated with the rath that was making it's way across every terr

“Well I do love surprises,” I chirped as I grabbed his arm and he strolled us outside.My mind was burning, what would this surprise be, and would it be a good surprise or a bad surprise that he deemed good for him. I tried not to let my mind take me there, he couldn’t possibly have Kal, I had to steady my heartbeat knowing that he would be able to pick up on it.We rounded the corner of the building, and there he stood. My heart race increased, but not for the reason Garrett would think, the rage I felt inside needed to be tamed if I was to keep up this façade. It would surely take everything I had to act through this, his fate was sealed.“Avi…” Rowan’s voice held an uncertainty to it, but held the same charisma he’d always had around me.There was no place left in my heart that would stop me, I could, or would, no longer save Rowan, he was a dead man walking. My mind raced at a million miles

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.
