Charles' P.O.V.

I pulled into the u shaped driveway with such speed. The worry for my mother had Gunner stirring inside me more than usual. When she called she said something was wrong with my father and it was affecting her too through the mate bond. They were under threat not only from ancient ones but from another original pack that heard of my father's condition. Anger coursed through me at the other pack, picking this time to try anything, such cowards.

I swung the pack house doors open so fast and hard, I startled the wolves sitting on the couch. The familiar air wafted into my nose, bringing the nostalgia of my childhood to the forefront of my mind.  The wolves looked at me realizing who I was and bowed their heads in respect to their future alpha. I hurried to my mother's room, my footsteps heavy yet quick. She was vague on the phone about what exactly was wrong as she didn't want to alert others.

They were keeping this quiet from

    Rain's P.O.V.After Charles' phone call last night, I ran out of my room, letting Larminiel know what was happening. He swore to get some of the black goo to Charles through tree travel, by this morning. After telling Larminiel everything that had happened, I rushed to Clarice's room. I demanded she teach me to project right then and there. She was gracious enough to forgive my maddened outburst and spend all night training me. It was so much harder than I thought. I had to focus on every part of my body, train it to be still. I had to keep myself grounded yet my soul floating. It made no sense to me. Heli had a hard time too, because it wasn't just me that needed to train. It has to be both of us together. Only after Clarice told me to think about how my body feels when I visit Heli, did I start to get it. I projected for just a quick moment, finding myself in that cave again. It was literally for 5 seconds before I snapped right bac

    I woke up still on the blanket beside Eryn. I shot up to my feet so fast, remembering everything I just saw. I gave a look to Eryn before I began to run toward the council building. I could hear Eryn running behind me, he could feel my jumbled emotions and racing thoughts. "It'll be okay. He's strong. They're all strong." He tried to comfort me as he ran alongside me. I wanted to believe his words, I did, but how could I? I've seen what they are capable of. I've felt death by their hands 3 times, and have felt that fear and that evil that seeps from them 5 times now. Please let Charles be okay. Finally making it to the building, I burst through the doors as loudly as I could, trying to catch everyone's attention. It was still early so I wasn't sure who all was awake right now. I ran to the dining hall finding most of the council members eating. Somehow their eating and smiling infuriated me this morning. I stormed my way to their tab

    We all ran outside, making sure we weren't spotted. Eryn opened the tree for us to step through. I still can't seem to get used to the smell. I decided to breathe through my mouth in the hopes it would help lessen the stench. Eryn pulled his bow from his back and equipped it with an arrow. He stood tall as the end of the tunnel came to view. He shot his arrow out before we burst through to the ugliest sight I had ever seen. Bodies laid throughout the field. Some were torn down the middle, others sliced right in half. There were body parts everywhere. Not a single dead person seemed to be in one piece. The grass didn't have a single spot of green left, all crimson red with blood. 3 ancient ones stood in the center of the field in a circle. Their arms swinging out towards the wolves that were attacking them. I looked around the ground, trying to see if Charles laid amongst the carnage. I knew he wouldn't be, I would have felt it, but I had to be sure. All those dead open eyes I looke

    I was in its mind, lost in its darkness. I don't know how to get out and I can't even feel or hear Heli in me. I'm alone in the darkness, depression slowly started to crawl over me. I'm all alone in this darkness. There's no one here with me, no one to save me. I curled up into a ball, hugging my legs close to my chest as I began to uncontrollably sob. I can't describe the sadness I feel right now. I can only say it's just as bad, if not worse, than the day my father and brother died. This darkness had rendered me useless and depressed in less than a minute. I knew, in the back of my mind, that this ancient one's human side lay somewhere here, dormant, probably curled into a ball weeping like I am. It felt like an eternity before a warm feeling crossed my body. I recognized it, but I wasn't sure why. I could barely remember my own name at this point. The warm feeling radiated from my back, spreading through me. I felt the sadness start to leave me. A fa

    My vision started to focus, the blinding light fading and giving way to my current surroundings. The sword was still in my hands, the ancient one frozen in place under it. Eryn's hand was pressed against my right shoulder blade and Charles' on my lower back left side. They had been holding me up this whole time. I fell back into them letting go of the sword. The battle seemed over, soldiers moving bodies now. Stoic stood to the side tentatively watching me, anger seeping from his pores. Nate stepped in my line of sight, blocking his father, shaking his head in his attempt to tell me not to worry about that now.My sobs came out heavy and quick, as I looked at the ancient one, knife still in his eye. Nate pulled his taloned hand back about to strike the ancient one down."No!!" I yelled at him, pulling at the grass in front of me as I scrambled to get off the ground. I placed my body protectively over his body. "His human side is coming back. You can't hur

    They were keeping Charles' father and my dad in a secluded area of the building for everyone's safety. We were allowed to see them, but they couldn't leave their room. I didn't like that very much, but I didn't have a leg to stand on right now. I was in a lot of trouble for disobeying a direct order from Stoic. I don't regret it though. No way was I going to stay in the building and not go help Charles.He said he was contemplating my punishment still. Nate defended me though and told his father he has no just cause to punish me. That staying in the council wasn't part of my sentencing. He said they were unjustly holding me here. It only seemed to flame the fire of Stoic's fury. I was currently sitting across from him in his study. His face was serious, but his eyes held all the anger he was holding back.  His hands were clasped in front of him over his mouth and he kept his gaze fixed on me. He was contemplating, thinking of what to do with me. Eventual

    My father's shoulders slouched his eyes misting over. I've never seen him look so fragile, except for when I found him in the darkness. "Lucy.." He whispered, so much love poured into her name from his lips. "Is that okay? I don't want to ruin her new life." He shyed away. "Dad," I paused grabbing his hand with both of mine. "She never found anyone else. She never looked for anyone else. She said you were her one great love and she'll never find another." A tear slipped out of my father's eye, one he quickly wiped away. He nodded his head, unable to speak, knowing how weak his voice would be right now. I pulled my phone out video calling my mother. I pulled the camera out so that my dad and I could both be clearly seen. My dad furrowed his brows a bit confused. "It's a video call." I explained to him as the phone rang. My mother answered on the fourth ring, gasping instantly. "Rain Olivia!" She yelled. "What'

    Dad cried for a while over James. He cried over the time he missed with us. He threw things as his sadness turned to anger. Anger over how he was a prisoner in his own body and mind. Anger over how weak he felt, never being able to beat the demon on his own. Anger at all the things he missed out on while I grew up. I sent those healing waves towards him, once he slumped down on the floor, once he threw his last item. "Thanks gumdrop. You've grown up to be such a wonderful woman." Dad pet my head, causing me to feel like a small child again. I groaned, but smiled up at him. "It had a lot to do with your death. I had to grow up a lot when you died. It definitely matured me faster." I thought back to middle school and how trivial everyone's drama seemed to me. I didn't care about Becky cheating on John with Noah. I didn't care that the boy my best friend had a crush on liked me instead. Everything just seemed meaningless at that time.

    Go get the doctor." Charles' alpha voice came out as we entered the room, speaking to the nurse. "How far apart are the contractions now, Rain?" Charles asked me, laying me on the bed. Nate's hand never left mine."3 minutes." As soon as I answered another contraction started. "Her water broke right before I woke you up." Nate told him.Charles was in doctor mode, I could tell by his serious pensive face. He was running through all the medical books in his head right now. I squeezed Nate's hand for dear life. Ever since my water broke the contractions have been more intense. I could feel Ember and Ash scratching away at the scales inside my uterus at some points scratching my uterus itself. I grunted in pain, preventing myself from screaming. Screaming won't help and will only worry them all more. Eryn grabbed my other hand and began to calm me with his magic. That's when I remembered our plan and it seemed it clicked for Nate then too. "She wants an epidural and magic from Eryn and

    Eryn, dad, and Larminiel helped everyone back to their own mind. Giving me a hug goodbye each before they departed. Charles was one of the last few to leave. He hugged me tightly, muttering how he wishes he could have been the one to marry one. I tried not to let his words dampen my mood. I know he didn't mean for it to make me feel guilty. He just wanted me to know he wanted me the same way that Nate does. Everyone was gone except Nate and I. Eryn would return shortly for Nate though. So we had these few moments alone in my mind. Although we are together outside my mind as well. "Your mind is really beautiful, Rain. Not that I've seen very many." Nate laughed. "Yours just seems so bright and welcoming. Warm and loving." He smiled. "I'm glad you think so because a lot of the time my thoughts aren't." I laughed. "Oh I am sure, but your thoughts aren't the only thing that makes you, you." He poked my nose. "Now how about you chase me, before I run wild in here." With those words he

    Eryn led me to my dad. His eyes watered the moment he saw me and mine did the same. I let go of Eryn's hand and ran to my dad's arms. I never thought this day would happen. I never thought I would have my dad walk me down the aisle. I thought this moment was just the moment we thought we had lost him. I cried a little in his chest. He pulled me back, getting a good look at me."My baby girl is getting married. My gumdrop." He squeezed me one more time before letting me go. "You look beautiful, Rain. Are you ready?" He asked me, turning me to see the clearing. There was a field full of wildflowers, all my favorites and some new ones. There were rows of tree trunks shaped like chairs and people seated at them. I recognized some of those heads. Mom, Charles, Kaitlyn, Peregrine, Larminiel. Then my eyes landed on him and my heart almost ripped out of my chest and ran towards him. Nate stood beside his father, to the right. There was a large wooden arch draped with dragon lilies, that wer

    I woke up to some mild cramping and I panicked for a moment. They faded rather quickly, letting me relax back into sleep. I woke up again to some stronger cramps. The moonlight outside my window let me know it was still dark outside. Thankfully the cramps faded rapidly again. I started to worry though. Maybe it's because of that fruit I had at the ceremony. I know I'm not in labor yet, but I think these babies are coming sooner rather than later. I rubbed my belly bump softly, sending so much love to them both. I fell back asleep after going to the bathroom for the 4th time tonight. I'm so over this constant need to empty my bladder. My eyes fluttered open again, the sunlight hitting me straight in the eyes. Normally I'd be happy to wake up to the sun in my face, but after last night's terrible sleep, the sun and I are not on good terms. I groaned not wanting to get up. Nate chuckled beside me. "You okay?" He asked, his minty breath reaching my nostrils, sending a chill through me.

    Another week had passed us by and it was time for dads crowning ceremony. We were all dressed similarly to the ball. Different colors this time though. I had a red gold dress with sleeves that hung off my wrist. It had gotten colder as we approached December.Eryn had on a matching suit in color to mine. Charles had on a chocolate brown suit and Nate a black one with gold lining. They all looked very dashing. Eryn's hair, being elf, grew back quickly, and he was able to tie it on that bun of his. Charles yelled his hair back giving me those old greaser vibes. Nate had his swooshed to the side, a little oomph to it. That's really the only way I know to describe it. He thinks it's funny when I say it like that. I entered with Eryn just as before and the three of them stood around me. All eyes seemed to be on us, instead of my dad. I started to shrink myself, until those sparks hit my shoulder. Charles' eyes met mine, reminding me of our conversation. F*CK these people. I sat up, holdi

    We spent a week in the kingdom, with my dad and mom. It was nice seeing my dad reunited with his friends, but especially with Eragon. I stayed clear of Star, I wasn't ready to see her. I was worried I would try to tear her throat out. She was too important to Eryn to kill. Dad showed me his favorite spots here. The best sights and the greatest place to sit and think. He was happy and in his element and I was so happy to see him that way. His crowning ceremony would be tomorrow. I want to attend, I'm not sure how to face everyone right now. After everything that happened at the ball, I feel like I would cause more drama than anything else. I sighed again, chewing on my cheek. "What's wrong?" Charles picked up on my mood. He and I were finally having some alone time. Eryn had training and Nate was stuck doing something for Stoic for the day. I hated having him gone, it felt like a piece of me left with him. The sparks from my bond with Charles was helping me feel better though. "Not

    I woke up back in the room with Nate, a joyous feeling in my heart. Between my two hot seed sessions last night, and the talk with Eryn, I was feeling better than ever. Now I just need to talk to Charles…. the thought is daunting. "Good morning my beautiful fiance." I smiled, my cheeks blushing at the word fiance. "Good morning my future husband." He smirked at me, kissing my lips. A slight blush tinted his cheeks as well. I love his blush. Between us two, our children will be cursed to have everyone know how they feel by the pinks of their cheeks. I'll find it adorable but they'll probably dislike it like I used to… like I still do sometimes. "We'll teach them how to keep a good poker face. Trust me, my cheeks want to blush a lot more than I let him." He smiled that dreamy smile, while pulling my head close to his chest, answering my thoughts. "I think that's a good idea. My dad tried teaching me, but I obviously failed miserably." I giggled, making fun of myself."Hey, there's

    I had fallen asleep in Nate's arms, tucked tightly against his chest, yet when I opened my eyes that's not where I was. The familiar tree with a pool of water and warm sun let me know I was with Heli. She laid with her head on her paws basking her white fur in the sun. 'Heli?' I caught her attention and she opened one eye peeking through. 'I didn't call you here. He did.' She told me closing her eye again, seeming uninterested in whatever this is. Who is she talking about? I turned to look around and saw him standing there, his shoulder leaning against the tree. His almost translucent hair swayed in the wind. He arched an eyebrow over those ocean blue eyes. "I told you I would meet you in your dreams. What did you think I meant?" He chuckled lightly, pushing himself off the tree and walking towards me. He grabbed my lower back, pressing me against him tightly. It's then that I realized I didn't have my baby bump. I began to panic. "We're inside your mind Rain. The babies are fin

    The rest of the ball had gone without a hitch. I ate, I danced a little more and then finally was allowed to retire to my room. My feet were aching and I was so exhausted. Nate carried me up to our rooms. "Thank you for sticking by my side and telling me everything I needed to know tonight, Eryn." He smiled real big at me. "That's what I'm here for." He winked, giving me a small peck, while I'm still in Nate's arms. "Goodnight, Rain. I'll see you in your dreams." He smiled, caressing my face for a moment before going to his room. "Goodnight my little wolf. Sleep well. I'll come bother you in the morning." Charles kissed my forehead, pressing his fingers gently into the back of my neck. I closed my eyes letting the sparks dance around me from his touch. Nate carried me to my room, although I should really say ours because I know he isn't going to leave me alone. He kicked the door closed behind him, standing me firm on my feet. He slowly began to unzip my dress, his fingers tickli
