I watch as Ri'elle place's the spell on the cage my father is in. It seems to have worked. At least I think it worked, I don't know that much about magic, but I can smell that he definitly did some magic.
Ri'elle needs to go meet up with Annie, she called him to the hospital a while ago, but I want to sit here a while longer.
"Father?" I say in a loud clear voice, he shows no reaction. I want him to give me answers, but I am starting to think that maybe the only way that will happen is if we break the spell first. He was acting so much more normal the first few days after the witch was here, I am thinking that she will be back soon, to redo whatever magic she has over him.
I pace back and forth in front of his cell for some time before an idea strikes me. I can take over the pack, without anyone knowing. Now that I am the king to be my aura has changed, I have a stronger aura than my father already, so if I take his alpha position with no witne
I walk my mother up to her room before I head over to meet up with Annie. I wanted to make sure that she got their safe, because she seems rather unstable on her feet.As I make my way over to the hospital I pass pack members gathering here and there, it seem that the whole pack is disoriented, I am unsure if this means the spell is broken, or if something else is happening.I walk into the waiting room, Paula is sitting there waiting for me, she jumps to her feet as soon as I walk in."Hey Ansel, they are this way. Matteo just went into the room, he was rather upset at being made to wait and I think offended that he was asked to meet like this in the first place." Paula tells me."Right, I am sure he resents not being the one in charge, coming from the council he must be used to being the top dog." I say with a smirk, I am going to enjoy bringing him down a peg.Or at least that is what I thought, until I entered the room,
I wake up in an unfamiliar room. Even the scent is new to me. My whole body is sore, I strech my limb's taking stock, nothing seams to be broken. I do have a few cuts, and scrapes along my arms, and my fist's look as though I was punching a wall repeatedly.The room is small, only about 4 feet tall, if I stand I will have to crouch to keep from hitting my head. I am laying on a bed frame, there is no mattress, my left leg is chained to the floor, with silver.How did I get here? The last thing I remember is was interviewing Matteo in the office of the doctor at the hospital. After that everything goes dark, what happened? How did I get here? Who is holding me here? And how did they get me away from Ansel, Micheal, Paula,andRi'elle? That alone seems impossible.Micheal would never have let me be taken like this, I must assume that he is dead. As soon as the thought enters my mind I burst into silent tears.I tak
I wake up on the floor of the office, Micheal, Paula, and Ri'elle are all on the ground, passed out as well. Annie is not here, based on the way her scent has faded... she has been gone for a few hours at least."Micheal? Paula?" I call out to them first, because I see Ri'elle moving already. I crawl over to Micheal first, as he is the closest. "Crap, Ri'elle... we need help, Micheal is bleeding." I call over. Ri'elle stands up on unsteady feet, using the wall to help, he walks out of the room to find a nurse or someone to help.Micheal is bleeding from a small cut on his forehead. Paula doesn't appear to be hurt, but she still hasn't woken up. Ri'elle returns in a few moments with a nurse, she seems unsteady on her feet as well."Was everyone effected?" I ask her."No, not everyone, it seems to have been just those of us in the hospital. The rest of the pack is not aware of anything happening." She tells me."Okay, ca
Ri'elle returns quickly with a witch he introduces as Sarah, she is older, maybe 50 or so. She has that grandmotherly look to her, but being a witch make it hard for me to trust her. I pick up my cell phone and call Paula. I ask her to come here, and to bring her amore. I want them to be here as back up while me and Micheal are under this spell. I need to have someone in the room I trust to keep Annie safe. Since Micheal is going with me, that only leave's Paula on the list of people I trust to protect Annie. Paula agrees, and they arrive in Annie's hospital room moments later. "Okay, we are ready to get started. Ansel, Micheal, I need you both to drink this." Ri'elle says, handing us each a small cup of a foul smelling green liquid. I make eye contact with Micheal, to see what he thinks about drinking this. "What is it? Is it safe?" I ask. "It is an herbal mixture, a spell to put you both to sleep, then we will s
Micheal walks a few yards away, carrying the unconsious Annie with him. He is hoping by giving me some distance from her I will be able to sense Mal more clearly.I turn my back to them, blocking them out, I focus on Mal, bringing my wolf forward, together we reach out for her.<I feel her, but she is weak, I think she is hurt. North.> He tells me."This way." I relay to Micheal, he follow's me north. We walk on for nearly an hour before Micheal speaks."Stop, I need to rest, it is getting harder and harder to carry her the further we get from that warehouse." He tells me."You should let me have a turn anyways, you don't need to carry her the whole way." I answer back.I walk over, and take her from his arms. The moment I touch her she is wide awake, and we hear a wolf howling in the distance. She scrambles from my arms, to hide behind Micheal."Micheal! He is not who he says he is, he
I wake up in a crowded hospital room, I am awake, but unable to move on my own, or open my eyes. Ansel is there, he walks over to my bedside, taking my hand, my mind and Mal's are at odds. His touch calms her, but it sends me into a fit, shaking and screaming. Ansel walks away, I feel him move further away. He speaks, but the only word I hear is Micheal's name. I start to calm once I smell Micheal's scent as he hugs me. Soon Ri'elle and Paula's scents are added to the hug, calming me completely. I open my eyes, and look around the room. I take a deep breath, and tell my friends to back up. "What happened? How did you guys get me out of there? Who was holding me? How long was I gone?" I ask all these questions rapid fire, dying to know. "Holding you?" Micheal asks. "You have been in this hospital room for days, you never left the hospital. We all woke up in that office after our meeting, and you were missing, we found you in ano
I leave the hospital, making my way across the square to my father's office. I have spent my first few days as the Alpha in the hospital, the pack knows that I am the alpha now, because they could feel the power shift when I made the challenge. But I have not had a chance to address the change with them. I want to make sure that every member of my pack knows that I am here for them, it is my job to protect them, but more than that it is my job listen when they need me. My father has kept his office very clean and organized, the files are in order, but I have a feeling that he has been letting a lot of things slide... The files have not been updated in nearly a year. There are 5 file cabnets in this room. The first is for pack members files, this is all of their personal inforamtion, contacts and who to call if they are hurt. Also this is where we keep the files for any wolf who requests to join our pack, normally there are at least a few wolves wanting to
We take to the tree's just outside of the town square. Micheal is to my left, Paula to my right. Paula's Amore decided to stay with Ri'elle, so we would be able communicate to Ri'elle through their Amore mind link. We climb as high up the tree's as we dare, trusting the lower branches to hide us. I take out my blow dart gun, and I start shooting wolves with wolvesbane. Micheal and Paula are doing the same, using stealth we dart around the tree's taking out as many enemies as we can from this position. I know there are witches and vampires near by, I can smell them, but I can not see them from here. I am about to head towards the vampires when I notice 3 pups, werewolf children, they look young, maybe 5 or 6 years old. I change directions just as a vampire comes into view near them. By the evil smile that spreads across his face he planes to harm them. Leaping from tree to tree I position myself right over him, and drop down onto his back. I let my canine'
I turn to Ansel, not sure what to do about this vampire who has tried to kill me multiple times suddenly claiming to give me his alegence. *Give him an order, say a few orders out loud, but only put your authority into one, maybe that will help us know if he is lying..?* Ansel tells me through the mind link. I nod, then I turn to this vampire king to give my orders "Stand on your feet, spin around, tell me your name, touch your nose" Only a werewolf, vampire, witch, or other person magicly bound to me would be able to tell which one of these orders was the one with power behind it. But, as I speak the vampire does rise to his feet, he is slow to follow my second command, I can see he is thinking it through. The moment I give the order for him to tell me his name he follows the order without hesitation. "I am Samuel Keith Singer, King of the Vampires." He tells us. Before I can say anything else Ri'elle rushes out into the hall, he takes in the scene around him, his fingers are twi
Many in the pack are against the idea of a pack member adopting a child who is not a werewolf. They do not say so directly to me, but I can feel the stare's as I walk around with Nicky trailing behind me. I think that if I was anyone else besides the queen they would be much more vocal about their disapproval, or maybe it is because they can sense that Nicky is not human, so they figure he will not pose as much of a threat to the pack that a normal human would. Either way, I have decided to address the pack at dinner tonight. I want everyone to know that Nicky saved my life, but I also need them to know that he is MY child, and if anyone tries to hurt him they will have to go through me. Once everyone has taken their seats I call them to attention and introduce Nicky to the pack as my child. Ansel stands to his feet and addresses the pack. "He is OUR child. I know that a lot of you are going to find this odd... adopting a child from outside the pack is... uncommon to say the lea
I quickly untie the ropes from my legs, but I stay where I am on the ground, knowing my legs will be to shaky to hold me up. My Ansel suddenly apears, jumping over the limo, taking the vampire king down to the ground in one move. Then he takes the kings head off in one bite. The rest of my warriors are here now, fighting vampires on all sides. I watch in horror as one of my warriors move in, to attack Nixie, I jump to my feet and place myself inbetween Nixie and the warriors. The warriors stop dead in their tracks, tilting their wolfish heads at me, tying to understand why I am stopping them from saving me. "No, he is with me... He saved me... He is just a baby..." I pant out. The warriors nod and turn back to the vampires to finish killing the last of them. Nixie trasforms again, this time he is a pure white horse. He walks over to me and nudges his head under my arm, helping me stay on my feet. With Nixie's help I climb onto his back, and I ride on his
Over the next two days the whole pack pulls together to help the towns around us. We work our way down the street from the pack castle into the town, once we reach the edge of town each house that we pass we check for people in need of help. There was a lot of flooding in this area so we make is a point to check every house for the injured or trapped people. Most people evacuated the area before the storm hit, so many of the houses are empty, but we search them all anyways. This storm was predected to be more on the mild side, so people expected to be gone from their homes for only a few days, because the roads are not passable people can not return. We find some pets in houses alone, when we find a pet in an empty house we leave a note with a phone number and we take the pet back to the castle to be fed and taken care of until their families return. I want to lead the pack as we clear the roads, but the warriors of the pack insist on keeping me surrounde
It takes the whole pack working together for three days to get the whole castle and grounds cleaned up. Thanks to the warriors and other pack members who boarded them up, most of the windows are fine. But a lot of trees came down, and a few of them landed on some of the buildings on the grounds. The larger brick buildings are largely okay, a couple of them need new roofs put in. It is the smaller wooden buildings that took the most damage, a couple of them will need to be completely demolished, and a few others will need some major renovations to be usable again. I spend my days cutting the fallen trees into logs, so they can be moved out of the way of the rest of the clean up efforts. Once that is done I split the logs into fire wood. My back and shoulders are killing me after a two whole days of splitting and stacking logs. Ansel spends his days loading our dump trucks with pieces of the broken buildings, the warriors dump the debry from the trucks in one big
I know that I already agreed to help Ri'elle with his spell, and I will, but the thing is... After the regular spell work part of it...Ri'elle says in order to seal the magic I need to kiss Ansel. I have never done a spell that requires love kiss in order to seal the magic, but he says that this spell needs it. I know he would not lie to me, and I will do the magic he needs me to, the thing is that I think this spell maybe too advanced for me. I wish that Ri'elle was well enough to work the spell himself. Ansel walks with me in silence to our room, I am thankful that he lets me walk without talking because I need the time to sort out my feelings about this spell, and also to work up the courage to try this spell since I am not a full witch and my not have enough experience to work this spell.Once we make it to our room I ask Ansel to sit on the bed quietly so I can make myself ready for the spell. I change into a pure white dress, then I cleanse the space by burning sage. I finish s
"Micheal, thank you for meeting me here. I didn't want to leave her alone while she is still asleep...Something strange happened last night, and it wasn't the first time... There is something wrong with her..." I tell him in a low voice. "Okay, slow down and start from the beginning." Micheal tells me. "Okay, well... You know when we marked each other, tight?' I ask him, he nods and I go on. "Well, then on the first night we stayed in this room she made a big deal out of having sex, like it was the first time. And then she marked me again, and she had the same reactions to the marking as the first time." I tell him, then I pause and take a deep breath, I hate that I have to talk to Micheal about our sex life. "Okay, but that was 2 nights ago, so what happened last night that made you call me here so early in the morning..?" Micheal asks me. "She did the same thing, she initiated sex and then acted like it was the first time again. At
I follow Micheal as he takes me on a tour of the worst of the wounded. There are only a few people who got hurt badly enough to need to see a doctor, a few warriors where on the stairs when they passed out and as a result they fell down the stairs. One older man fell onto his tool box giving himself a concusion, and a few other fell in similar way. There is a total of 8 broken bone's and 3 concusions. Plus the 5 mothers who went into labor as a result of the stress from passing out the way they did. There was a total of 544 pack memebers effected by the spell, and only 18 people where hurt or effected badly enough to need to seek medical attention right away. The other 526 people have been givin the order to report to the hospital wing within the next 2 days, refusal to do so will result in punishment. I hate the idea of threatening the pack members, but this is how things are done, and everyone knows that I hate doing it, so they know to really listen when I do make t
I rush to the west tower, I have a bad feeling that something went wrong on Ri'elle's end. I race up the stairs and burst into the room, I find Ri'elle in the center of the room, spiritual energy fills the room, he is covered in his own blood, it looks as though the spirits are trying to rip him apart limb from limb. I know that if I siply rush to him the connection will be broken and his spell will backfire onto him completely. Right now I am thinking that maybe the spirits simply do not like the offering that he used. I skirt around the edges of the room, being carefull not to touch any of the silks. I make my way over to the rabbits in their cages, I reach in and take out one, I slit its throa and coat myself in its blood, saying a quick cleansing ritual as I do. Then I take a few cautious steps towards Ri'elle, then the door bursts open again and I see Ansel with some warriors right behind him. "STOP!" I order. "Leave, go check on the pack, if you touch any
