Luca
He truly pissed me off. If time is stopped and I am stopped with it, how am I suppose to do anything about it? I did not even know anything was happening. I thought this to myself as I headed out of the kitchen after talking to dad for a few minutes. As I am going to head upstairs, I see Levi storming out the front door. What the hell is his problem now? I look up the stairs and wonder, should I go up to Raine and see what happened or confront Levi? I decide that Levi pissed me off, so it's him. I head out the door and see him shifting and taking off. My wolf could use a run too, so I head to the edge of the forest and strip my clothes. I shift and shake out my fur. My wolf is happy to hunt him. He has a good head start, but it is not hard to follow his trail. His scent is getting stronger, so I know he has stopped. I slow so that I can try to take him by surprise. The scene that is in front of me shocks me.
There is a black-haired woman on top of him, and thI don't know why he has to keep pushing the marking. We all three have each other, and I am not ready to find out what everyone's reaction will be. I love them both, and I want nothing more than to be with them. I plop down on my bed and try to breathe. It is too much going on right now with everything. I start to feel a pain in my chest what is happening to me. I hear commotion from downstairs, so I get up and stick my head out the door. I hear mom and dad but only for a minute, and the door slams again. Is everyone fighting tonight? Mia is in the hallway, so I stop her. "What is going on?" I ask. "I am not sure, but that makes the second door slam I have heard tonight."As soon as she finishes speaking, a sharp pain goes through my chest, and I almost lose my balance. I grab the wall to keep from going to my knees. "OMG... are you ok, Raine?" Mia asks, but it hurts so bad I can not answer her. So
I hear my mom say how as Luca sits me down on a chair but keeps his hands on my shoulders, trying to help as much as he can. Then, finally, he speaks through the mind-link to me. "We have to tell them, Raine. It is the only way to save you and Levi right now. They have to know everything." Another sharp pain shoots through me, but this one knocks me out of the chair. Luca tries to catch me, but he is flung away from me when his skin comes into contact with mine. I look over toward where he flew to see him holding his chest. Mom is running to me, and Bastien is headed for Luca. The pain starts to ease a little again. Me and Luca both begin to crawl to one another. When we get to each other, I reach for him, but I hesitate. I don't want my touch to hurt him. He grabs my hand anyway. This time nothing happens. "Someone, please explain what the hell is going on," I hear Bastien say in his Alpha tone. I look to Luca But not for him to answer to tell him I will explain it to t
I follow my father out to the training field. Stadium lights light it up. I see that Luca is following us as well. My father looks over at him and smiles. "I am glad you joined us. I am going to need your help.""I will do anything I can to help Raine," is his reply, and I can tell it is the truth. "OK, both of you, come over here and stand before me." Me and Luca both walk to face him. "Hold your arm out to me, Raine." I do as he says and put my arm out in front of him, palm up. He says, "This might sting," then quickly takes a dagger and slices deep across my forearm. I scream out and grab my arm. "What the hell was that?" Luca lunges for my dad but is frozen in his spot. "Listen to me, Raine. I need you to hold your arm back out. You can heal your arm, and I am going to show you how." It is then that I remember that he said I have healing powers. So I extend my arm back out. "OK, I need you to think about healing yourself from the inside out. Picture the wound cl
LeviI don't know what the hell is happening to me. When I crashed into the lady, she just started to kiss me. When she did, I could not control myself and kissed her back. I could see everything and hear everything going on around me, but I could not move or speak. I wanted to scream to Luca to run. With the conversation, I could hear them having I knew she was Joceline. I want to rip this bitches throat out, but I can't move. I could hear the howls in the distance, so I knew my dad and the pack were coming. They would save me. Then I hear Joceline let out a scream and her hands were on me again, and black was all I could see. When I finally come to, I am laying on something soft. I move my head to look around. It is a room, and I am on a bed. There is not much in the room, just a bed and what looks like a dresser. I can not move my body, only my head side to side. I hear a commotion at the door, and the bitch Joceline walks into the room. How I wish I co
I don't know what being the light means, and I don't have time to worry about a prophecy that I have never heard. I have to figure out how to save Levi. I finally break my thoughts and say, "So what about the other gift? How does that one work?" My dad gives me a slight head tilt before he responds, "Teleporting can be a little tricky when you first start. We will start with me teleporting with you so you can see how it feels and not end up at the north pole," He laughs when he says it, and it makes me wonder if that happened to him.He walks up to me and takes my head. He then looks to Luca. "Go somewhere nearby but don't tell us where you are going." Luca gives him a look like, are you crazy. "I think we are playing hide and seek." I laugh hard as I say, but they both simply laugh with me. My dad then gives his attention back to me. "The first time you teleport, you will feel a little uncentered when you land." "Is it possible to land like in midair and fall to my
Luca"What happen to you?" I ask Levi when Raine continues out the hall without stopping when we called for her. "Can we talk about it somewhere else," he says as dad walks up to us with Rimeil and Flo right beside him. "How are you, son?" my dad asks Levi."I'm not really sure my head is killing me, and I feel like I have been on a ship for a month.""The ship part is probably from being teleported, and the headache is probably from the break on the witch's magic she had on you," Remiel speaks up and tells us all while looking at Levi. "How did you break the magic?" Flo asks, looking to Remiel for an answer. "I didn't, but when Raine teleported him out of where they were, it probably broke what magic she had used. We need to know who all you saw there and how many. Did she say anything to you? What did they do to you?" Remiel's questions seem to come one after the other, and I could tell that Levi was becoming more and more uncom
My heart hurts, but I know that Luca is right. I make my way to his room and knock on the door lightly. I get no answer. Maybe he doesn't want to see me. I feel my chest tighten as my mind tells me to leave him alone, but my heart tells me that he needs me. I knock again, and still no answer, so I just reach for the handle without thinking. The door is unlocked, and it opens. I look in and don't see him anywhere in the room. I walk in, shutting the door behind me. I walk closer to the bathroom door and hear the shower, so I go and sit on the chair against one of his walls. His room is clean, but there are a few clothes next to the chair. He has a painting on his wall that catches my attention. The painting is a mix of different shades of purples and blues in the background blended perfectly and the silhouette of a wolf howling on the edge of a cliff. It is beautiful, and the colors are beautiful together. I must have been lost in the canvas cause I did not even hear Levi come out of
"Are you sure that you are ready, Raine?" Levi asks when he realizes what I said. "Yes, I need you and Luca to mark me." I spit out in a shaky voice because my body is close to the edge. I arch my back needing more contact from him. "If you are sure, love, then we will give you what you need and what we want." I hear the door shutting and jerk my head to see who has entered the room. I see it is Luca. His eyes show a craving and desire I had not seen before. He locks the door and walks toward the bed. Levi flips us over so that I am on top of him, never leaving my body. I gasp and arch my back, and start riding him. Luca reaches the bed and takes my lips in a kiss. The sparks light up my body, making me moan in his mouth. Levi has his hands on my hips, helping me work him as I move on top of him. Luca stops the kiss and starts gripping my breast, and takes it in his mouth. Levi leans up and takes the other nipple in his mouth, and my b
We let Jacob and Katie spend some time together. Jacob told her all about the guys saving everyone. He told her about the new house they were staying in and how everyone was friendly. It almost broke my heart when he told her they wouldn't be cold anymore that they could have a blanket. I learned about what had happened and how they had found the kids. Julie checked on Katie one more time and saw that everything was healed, and she was free to go to the house with the other kids. It took Jacob a few minutes to get her to agree to teleport with Chase. Before she was getting ready to leave, she thanked Julie for helping her. When Julie explained that I had healed her, she ran up and hugged me around my waist tight. She did not have to say anything. I felt the tear as it left my eye. "You will be ok now, honey," I told her, and she smiled at me as she walked back to Chase and Jacob to go to her new home."We will have to try and find the kid's homes and how they ended up the
I rush out of the room to my mother. I have to be there for her. She lost her mate again. I enter the room, and she is lying on the bed with Mia in her arms. I lay on the other side and wrap my arms around mia and mom. Mia is squished in the middle with her arms wrapped around mom. She starts to cry harder when I wrap my arms around her. Mom whispers that it's ok in her ear as she rubs her hair down. I had forgotten how powerful being a mother is. My mom has shown me my whole life. Here she is. She has lost her mate and still holds it together to comfort her child. I am lucky to have a woman like her as my mother. What the Goddess said plays in my head. She is right. She is the one that made my mother, and she is strong. She has endured so much, but she should not have to keep enduring like she is. I look over at mom, and my eyes meet hers. They are red and swollen from crying, and it breaks my heart even more. She gives me a small smile. "I am so sorry, mom" That Is all I can m
Levi,Luca walks off without us talking, and I know what he is feeling. I don't think Barrett deserves a proper funeral, but Chase and his family should be the ones to decide that. I did it for them, not Barrett. "We need to go get the kids and Emma from the treehouse," I tell Chase. I head to the house to get some of the women to get areas ready for the children. We have an orphanage, but it has not been many children there. With not many children, we didn't have but one woman who ran it, and she will need more help with this many children. It doesn't take long, and the women have gone to set up the orphanage, and we are headed to get the kids now that everything is safe and they have somewhere to stay. "Does Rod know that Emma has been here at the treehouse?" Chase asks as we make our way to the treehouse. "Yeah, he is already there and waiting on us," I tell him as we continue. I could hear laughing as we got closer. That's a good sign, I thin
Luca,The rage that came over me as I watched my father drop to the ground and his packlink snap was unbearable. The howl that left my body and the rest of the pack snaped something else in me. I could see Raine as I started to make my way to Barrett. He would pay for what he has done. I felt Levi on the other side of me, and his rage was as deep as mine. We both in sink went after our prey. I let my wolf take over. We take the bottom half of him while Levi takes the top. I sink my teeth into his leg and rip. I feel the blood enter my mouth, and I relish in it. I hear the bone snap and feel a force holding him there. As he hits the ground, I see Levi has ripped his throat out. I look over when I hear a commotion.Raine is walking, but flames surround her. I shift back and stand to watch. There are flecks of black in the fire. She is shooting flames at every person that is here with Barrett."We have to stop her," Chase says from beside me. I look back, and eve
I lock eyes with each of my mates as I look over the yard. I see the look of fear cross Chase's face as I am about to look away. But, I already know what is happening before it happens. Barrett has his arms around my chest again. I throw my head back, but this time, I don't connect. "Did you really think that would work twice?" He says in my ear. I look forward and see all my mates headed toward us. I am lucky to have these three incredible men by my side. I notice they stop moving toward us, and I feel my body being shoved forward by Barrett's body. His grip on me loosens, and I spin to see him turning and reaching for someone. They must have pushed him from behind, making him release me. Before I could manage to grasp what was going on, I saw who it was, my mom. I go to grab Barrett to keep him away from her, but he is faster than me. He grabs her, and they both vanish again. I hear a loud growl from behind me, but I already know who it is. Bastien knows his mate is in the han
The noises were coming from everywhere. I rushed toward the front of the house and to the front door. There were people in wolf form already. I stopped on the porch looking around. I saw a few of Kane's people fighting in human form, and they were holding their own well. Pack members were fighting alongside them. In the distance, I noticed a few warlocks headed toward the house. They raised their hands, and I saw blue sparks light up above their skin. I used my powers and pulled all the big rocks from the yard and hurled them in their direction. The two on the outside jumped to the sides, but the one in the middle was hit.I rushed down the steps and around the house. It looks like they came in from all directions. Is this what Barrett had planned all along? As I went further around the side, something hit me, and I was thrown forward and slid. Whatever hit me felt like a jolt of electricity. I rolled to the side, looking behind where I had been running. I saw a woman with long b
I hated the thought of them leaving, but we had to know if they were hiding Bastien and Emma at his base. There is still a lot that we can do here to get ready. Mom and Mia make their way over to me, and I am glad I could use their help in deciding what to do. "Hey, I am going to head back out and get all the warriors I have with me to move to the back yard and start doing some training exercises. Is that ok with you?" Kane says from behind me, catching me off guard. "Yeah, I think that is a good idea," I say, but mom cuts me off."I think the warriors from the pack and your group should do some training together. This will help since we may all be fighting together." Mom says, looking between Kane and me."I agree with mom. We will let the pack members know, and you can all train on the training grounds in the back.""Sounds like a plan," Kane says as he smiles at Mia and heads outside."So, what exactly is going on between you two?" Mom asked Mia precisely what
LeviWe made it into the house with no trouble, which is a little surprising. I stayed behind Joseph and watched behind us. The house is large. It is probably bigger than my house. What is weird is it seems too empty. Where are the hundred or more people that he has here? We slip down a passage that I am assuming leads to the basement. I still don't see anyone, and something really seems off."This way," Joseph says and heads down another hallway. I catch dad's scent, so I know they are here. Why is no one else here? We get to the end, and there is a massive door. We both put our ears to the door and listened, but I didn't hear anything. Joseph holds his fingers up to count till three, then we both push on the door to open it. I almost got sick at what I saw. Dad is strapped to the wall with silver cuffs around his wrist and ankles. There is a silver collar around his neck. I didn't hear him because they had him gagged. Emma is attached to the wall beside him in th
ChaseThis is the first time I have been to Barrett's place in a while. I try to stay away unless I have to. Joseph has been the one to do the spying and watch his numbers. Finally, we all gear up and are ready to head out. Levi seems like he is ok with me, but I am unsure about Luca. He seems to be more shut off. I know the way I came into the picture was not the best, but I don't want to cause Raine any hardship with either of them. Joseph comes walking up, letting me know he is ready."We need to pop in a little away and go in on foot," Joseph says, and he is right."Yes, I was planning on it. We need to get in and find out what we can and get out. Barrett may even expect us to do something like this. With him having both of them, he will have more security too, I would think." I tell Joseph. "Yes, and I don't want to cause any more issues and get back here as soon as possible, so let's get this over with," Luca says as he and Levi come walking up to
