When Lucas woke, he's was in a plexiglass cage with air holes and a blanket on the floor, under him. It felt like he'd been drugged, bad touched, and left humiliated and alone. The door to the room squeaked open to reveal Chad looking down on him."What has happened to you, Lucas? Your Wolf has gotten out of control and needs to be tamed if you expect to be anywhere in Jisoo's vicinity. Those are my terms. I don't care to hear yours, because they have no meaning." Chad snarled at Lucas, dripping venom with each word. "Chad, I never meant for it to go this far, or get this out of control with Jisoo. She is my wife, I love her, but something snaps in me." Lucas tried to explain to Chad."What happens when you snap? Do you recognize what's going on between your Wolf and human?" Chad asked, suddenly curious."My human gets angry at what it wants to, which works up my Wolf. After that my Wolf gets stronger the more my human gets angry. If I get too angry, my Wolf craves blood, flesh, deat
With the crisis averted, Moon rose from the table, nodded at Shyfter and Kurgi who also rose."You 3 come with us. We will show you how to use your Trinity, properly." Shyfter looked at Rex."We already know how to use our Trinity." Kit stepped forward."Your effectiveness is the problem. You can form it, maintain it, and come out on top, but you're like a bowling ball, you hit everything in your path, but not always do the pins all fall down. We are here to teach you that. Our other 2 should be arriving soon." Sshyfter snapped."Are we fashionably late?" Anaki laughed, as he and Kai approached the 6 wolves."You're right on time. Let's get started. Shyfter, you take Rex and work on getting him to 'blackout'. Be calm about this, Shyfter. This is only training. " Moon instructed."Let's go, Rookie. I'll whip you into shape." Shyfter walked away, waving for Rex to follow."Kurgi, you will be working with Tristan. Start with what we talked about last night." Moon said."Looks like you ar
The next morning, before the sun started to rise, only two wolves awake and planning the day. A very LONG day. Anatashi walked over to Moon, handed him a cup of coffee and plate of eggs, sausages, bacon, toast, and ham."Thank you! Is this spread a precursor to today's plans?" He smiled, taking a sip of his coffee."You know me so well. We have a few more hours before the others would even think of coming down. I know you have chosen today to work with and teach Singularis. You and I need to discuss how you're going to handle him." She sat next to him with her own cup of coffee and plate of food."He is a dangerous advisory up close, but take a step back, from him and look deeper. Kit and Singularis operate on one, unbreakable foundation that strength, bloodlines, and the abilities given to them are all a wolf has in life. Their name, pack and rank are nothing without the balance and knowledge of the 'Eternals'." She started."Who are the Eternals? I've been alive a long time, but tha
"Let's take this one step at a time. Kit, you are the oldest here, therefore the wisest, and most competent. You knew Winter, you ran with him. Did you ever see him black out?" Moon asked."No. He had always ended a conflict with words rather than with bloodshed." Kit replied."That's why Chad hated my father." Tristan added."This ability will change the way your human looks at your wolf, as well as how your wolf sees its human." Moon smiled at Kit. "How do you and Kurgi meld your humans and wolves being two separate wolves?" Rex asked."We are a special case. I was a son of the Moon, and Kurgi is not a natural wolf." he said, mumbling the last part out.Moon despised this part of his story. It showed weakness, and he was never to show weakness, but the thought was in his brain and across his lips. before he could stop himself. "What do you mean 'not natural'? Like Anatashi unnatural, or Tristan unnatural?" Rex asked. "It is time to tell our story." Moon looked at Kurgi and smiled
"Crunch time boys! Kit if you would." Kai smiled at the Royal."You are a class act. Kai. Just don't start any wars here." Anaki was totally serious, but was smiling."Kai, you need to respect Singularis, no matter how much you two clash. You are not here to piss each other off, you are here to help a fellow wolf. Anatashi would have never let you come if you weren't useful. So just get your head on right." Moon advised. "Kai, I promise I won't hurt you." Kit smiled at Kai, and released Singularis and it was on."Well see who hurts who." Kai phased, but the wolf that stood before them all wasn't Kai. It was Rixa!"Moon, are you nuts? She is his beta and mate. Pull him back now!" Rex exclaimed, panic rising in his mind. "Nothing will happen to either of them. Anatashi would never allow any of you to get hurt." Moon said walking over to Kurgi, joining hands with him, going from two people to one wolf, with one ice blue eye and the other a fire orange. It was scary, but beautiful at t
"You need to take control of your wolf, Kit. Remember why you're here, brother!" Rex called, but it was too late, Singularis had completely taken over.*Rex*'Tristan, this is bad. If Rix were here, she'd smack Kit back into line.'*Tristan*'Thats what started this mess to beging with! Kit's set to kill Kai! If we can get Singularis to go after him, we might be able to stop this.'*Rex*'This all could have been avoided if Moon would have called Kai off sooner. I say we punish Moon instead. 'As soon as the link cut off, Rex sprung up to run to Singularis's side and stand with him. When he got close enough, Rex felt a cold numbness was over him. Euphoric, bloodlust mixed with his Dark side, giving him a new rush of power he'd never felt before. Rex looked back at Tristan, urging him to join them with his eyes. Red, glowing eyes."Damn it! I told you to be cautious and respect Singularis and you disobeyed me. Why Moon? You need to get control now. If they join and reform their Trinit
"What happened out there? Moon, how could you let that get so out of hand? I'm not going to be here forever, and I expect you to lead the pack until Aisha takes over. That is why I need you to be smarter than that. Thank goodness we were able to get Kit back." Anatashi scolded Moon."Forgive me. I thought it would be easier to put pride against pride. Lesson learned, I won't be doing that again." he replied."I know you meant well, but the best of intentions can have the worst consequences. It's all apart of life, you will figure it out." she exhaled loudly."Just get some rest. You and your brothers have been through a lot. I will sit down with the Royals and get Kit back. He won't have enough strength to put up a fight. We can hadle it." She ordered."I've always wanted to witness the Singularis Curse up close, Kit, but never that close. What happened?" Tristan asked."I honestly don't know. I saw Rixa and something fractured and shattered in me. Like I'd never see her again after K
"Now that you 3 know how it feels to meld your wolf and human, the next thing you must learn is to control the wolf WITH your human." Anatashi paused to look at all 3 Royals."That is the hard part. Your Wolf is wild, lawless, and vicious. Your human is the light side, the calm, voice of reason. If your human cannot tame and contain your wolf, you will be a loose cannon, and I will have to alter my plans in order to save you young omega and cubs." Anatashi looked at Kai right in the eyes."Plan B, which is?" Tristan asked, pulling her gaze to his."That is none of your concern. I know what needs to be done, and will happily do it for Aisha and your cubs. Now Anaki, Moon, Kurgi, and Shyfter will take you to take this final step. I am going to take a rest. I need my strength for what comes next." She smiled and left them to their training.Kai had slipped away while Anatashi was speaking to them, and Moon had his thoughts as to where he was going.*Moon*'I want to know where Kai's run o
After exchanging pleasantries, the 4 wolves, two from the Rogues, two from the council, made their way from Chad’s council quarters to the path to the Singularis stronghold so Jo and Brody could fetch their wolves under the “proper” supervision. “We could have done this ourselves.” Brody whispered to his brother, “It looks like they really want to be here today.” He rolled his eyes looking at Caius and Zoei. “Whatever, let’s just go. We need our wolves out and to get on with the second part of our plan.” Jo replied. “What are you two girlie talking about over there? Let’s get the show on the road please?” Caius laughed at the Rogues. “Thank you for your help. We would have been fine without Chad’s assistance.” Jo commented. “Yeah, it shows. That’s why you have captive wolves, and none of us have ever been held by the Royals, so this just proves you need a babysitter.“ Zoei sneered, walking ahead of them. Looking at Caius, Brody shrugged at him. “Is she always this fun to be arou
“You don’t honestly believe Chad is sending those two with us to help in any way, do you?” Brody asked his brother.“No. That’s why as soon as we get Hyunjin and Hikaru back, We will be good. I am done taking Chad’s orders. It seems like we always suffer and the Council comes out clean and unscathed. I’m sick of it.” Jo snapped. “Suddenly the Royal's definition if the Council is becoming clearer, huh brother?” Brody teased.“Baby brother, you’re a genius! When those two Council wolves come with we are going to let the Royals take care of them. We have wolves on the inside. Get a message to any of our wolves in there and tell them to inform to stop working against the Royals, and start working with them.” Jo smiled wickedly. “Are you sure about this? I have heard of wolves turning against Chad, and in return, he killed their entire pack. Do you think that we can get away with this?” Brody asked, eyebrows raised.“We have to play off of the hate they all have for each other, plant jus
A knock at the door confused the Royals, Kit sprang up and answered it. Shyfter was on the other side. “What do you want?” Kit growled. "Down, boy. I’m here to talk. There’s a situation brewing, and we need to get you all out of here now.” Shyfter shoved past Kit and into the room. “Yes, come in.” Kit sighed and shut the door. “What’s the situation?” Rex asked. “Kai and Anaki have crossed a line. They have brought your Council friends to shadow and attack tomorrow morning after we leave to guide you back to the border.” Shyfter sighed. “Why would he do that? I thought you and your brothers were going to keep him on a short leash?” Kit shouted. “The 3 of us will not be able to handle a Council attack while we are loaded down with that trunk Anatashi gave Tristan.” Rex said. “Your stuff is already back waiting for you, Moon zapped it there. Left a note for your friends, who are desperately in need of your assistance.” Shyfter laughed at their expressions. “What trouble? Is ever
That night there was no sleep for the Royals. They packed their gear, and met in the entrance, not wanting to keep their loved ones waiting….thinking that help was coming, but it wasn't to be. "You 3 can't leave. Anatashi has asked to speak with Tristan. Don't make your decision until after you have talked to her?” Moon asked, waiting for Tristan to go with him."Fine, let's go. I'll be back shortly." Tristan smiled at Rex.The walk to Anatashi's room was silent, awkward, and uncomfortable."Enter." She replied. "Thank you Moon. Get back to Kai and the others. I will call for you when we are finished." Anatashi said quietly."What is this about? First you couldn't tell us what was going on, now you're being honest with me? It doesn't make any sense, you’re not making sense." Tristan sighed."I promise you, after you hear what I have to tell you. Please, sit?" she asked.“You have never been the type to keep secrets." Tristan said."What I'm doing cannot be undone. I made a promise to
"OK, Hikaru. It's just you and me now. Tell me what is going on. Why did Jo send Hyunjin to come after you, or spy on us?" Skai asked."I have been trying to find the Royals for a while. It was chance meeting up with Hyunjin. He was sent by Jo to find you guys and lock all of you down, so Chad can come in and take Aisha. Is she safe?" Hikaru said."That's why the Royals are not here. They are looking for a way to save her. Do you know of a way to help?" Skai asked hopefully."I know the Nightshade side, but the Royal side, not so much. If I know Jo, and I am his sister, he will be sending reinforcements as soon as Hyunjin doesn't report back. Those cubs are more important to him than I am apparently." Hikaru looked down."How did you know Aisha?" Skai asked, more out of curiosity than concern at this point."Nightshade are few and far in-between, I know every existing Nightshade, that's how few of us are,actually left." Hikaru smiled sadly."Wow, I'm sorry. I never knew. I am young ye
"Why have you come back, Kai? I ordered you to stay with the others." Anatashi inquired."You backed the wrong 'horse', so to speak. The Quad is working with Anaki and I to ensure the Royals don't acquire the one thing that could save Aisha, your spirit. I will not stand by and watch you sacrifice yourself for a weak, unless bunch of wolves. You are mine, or have you forgotten?" Kai leaned over her."You forget your place, Kai. No male wolf can force me to submit. I don't even believe a female could do it either. Anatashi stood to her full height, almost 2 times bigger, with many more centuries of life, knowledge, and strength than the wolf who stood before her."You are everything to me, my light in the dark, my reason for living. Now you want to take that away from me, from us, to help a foolish omega that messed up and is getting what she deserves. Think of youself and your pack more than a bucnch of strangers!" Kai yelled at her."You cannot force my hand in this, Kai. You know me,
Loki, Caius, and Stryxx were 3 quarters away from the border between the Rogue's territory to the Old Ones. Chad had reminded them that time passes differently in the Old Lands due to a ever potent spell place by those who came before Anatashi and her motley pack of misfits."Do you believe this mole is as loyal to Chad as he says?" Stryxx, always, the thunder cloud over everyone's heads."I believe in Dove and his capabilities to sell just about any plan to even the smartest wolves. I guess he's really Chad's,vrother." Loki mentioned."Yes, but the males in Chad's family used to be allowed to develop on their own, but the emergence took too long as the wolves started forsaking their teachings and training became more lax. After learning from Chad, pushed Dove into using skills and abilities that he wasn't ready for." Caisu added."That explains it. Why would her sacrifice his brother’s sanity and wolf spirit to a complete a plan that's falling apart?" Stryxx asked."As long as Chad ha
