(Elias)The next day when I woke up, I decided to spend the day with Lilliana and Samuel. They were so surprised when they heard my voice that Lilliana started crying. I've never seen her so emotional before, because I always thought that she was strong. I even spoke to Brendan and Bryan and they too were shocked. Lilliana even said she never knew just how powerful Raina was until now. " what are you planning on doing next?" Lilliana asked as we were both walking outside so that we could talk. " I want to find Andrea. It's a pity Raina won't be able to help me get my powers back, but I'm sure if I find the right gifts for Andrea she would be able to help me." I replied and Lilliana nodded her head. " if she does that, how are you going to cope with being a warlock? You never coped well before with just being a wolf. The world as been ugly towards you. You suffered a lot, but it seems as if things are finally working out in your favor." I don't even know how to answer her. It was al
(Elias) It's been two days now since I've been searching for Andrea. It's been quiet around here as everyone had their guards up. Lilliana and Samuel decided to join in the search, as well as Brendan and Bryan ever since they said I was their best friend. Raina was getting frustrated with the search. Her magic was all over the place and I could tell she was about to lose it any minute now if I don't do something to calm her down. " let's go for a walk." I suggested after another failed attempt at locating Andrea and she nodded her head. It was raining earlier, but without the lightning and thunder which was a first in a while. As Raina and I were walking through the forest, I felt the same feeling like I was being watched again and stopped. " what's going on?" Raina asked as she looks at me with a confused expression on her face. " I have a feeling like someone is watching me, remember I told you about this before?" I asked and she nodded her head while looking around. We started
(Ryker)" it's proven to be a difficult task with locating Andrea, if she doesn't want to be found then what are we going to do?" Dad asked and I shrugged my shoulders because I had no idea what to say. Finding Andrea and restoring Elias's powers, would be the only way we can move on. I came to talk to my parents after Elias left to see if Raina was alright. Sometimes I forgot how stubborn he could get when he's not getting his way. I just wanted to make sure he was protected no matter how powerful Raina is, was that too much to ask for? At least he didn't fight me for too long and eventually agreed with me. " I have no idea what we are going to do. The last time she was here, she wanted permission to pay a visit to Elias's parents then after that nothing. Raina has been trying to contact her as well as the rest of her coven, but they are coming up short." I replied making dad groan out of frustration. " I don't know what more we can do at this point. All we have to do is call off
(Elias) I was woken up by Ryker who told me that Andrea was here and I needed to get some clothes on so that I could go and talk to her. I was left a nervous mess as I wasn't mentally prepared for any of this. I knew that the day would come where I would have to face Andrea once more, but I didn't know how I would react when that day came. Ryker tried to comfort me, letting me know that he would be by my side which was enough for me to calm down. I slowly made my way downstairs, making sure to delay it as much as I can. Yes, I wanted my powers back. I was empty without my other half, but now that it was about to happen I was scared. Ryker and I made it to the living room where a small crowd was gathered. I saw Raina there as well as a man I've never seen before, standing next to her. I raised my eyebrow at her and she told me that she would talk to me in private through mind link, so I replied with an ok. " I heard you were searching for me." Andrea said as I made my way closer to
(Elias) " Elias help me, he's after me!" Kai shouted as he ran towards me. He laughed as he hid behind me, making sure to use me as his shield. " you do know I'll still give you away if Ryland come this way right?" I asked making him gasp in disbelief." you wouldn't." He said and I raised my eyebrow at him. "Try me." I replied, challenging him to say otherwise, but he kept quiet for his sake. I chuckled when I spotted Ryland running towards us, kai took off, bursting into a fit of laughter as he tried to escape his mate who was catching up to him. " aren't they a happy couple." Ryker said, wrapping his arms around my waist. I agreed with him as we continued to watch them chasing each other. Miles and Ethan chose that moment to walk by, waving at us as they head off together. It was a lovely day today, the sun was out and everyone was spending time with their mates. Damian found his mate yesterday when he was on patrol. Her name is Keira and she's such a sweet girl. She was shy a
(Elias)It's been a couple of months since I've accepted Ryker as my mate, and I have to say that it has been a lot different, ever since he told me that he had changed. We were still going to our therapist, Sally, and I didn't like the fact that she was trying to dig her way into my personal life, asking me questions I didn't know the answer to, nor had I wanted to answer. Which was exactly what she was doing now. It, in turn, caused Ryker to glare at her as she asked about Ryland and why I hadn't thought of accepting him as my mate instead of Ryker. I get that Ryker's temper was sometimes out of control, I mean, look at what he did to me before. I wasn't taking his side because I knew that he wasn't one to trust, but I believe that everyone deserves a second chance. He had proved to me that he deserved it, so why not? I have gone through hell and back, and what Ryker did was the least. With my parents banishing me because of my status, which they deemed embarrassing, I was on m
(Ryker)It's been a while since I've seen Elias so angry, and even Sally was shocked by the way he has spoken to her. I get that her question was a bit out of hand, and even though I was angry at the fact that she thought Elias should have chosen Ryland instead, I kept my anger to myself, which was a first. But Elias's outburst is one way to say that I won't be doing anything to be on the receiving end of it. No, I wasn't scared of him, but he was much more powerful than I, so it was best to tread carefully around him. Deciding to finish the hour with Sally, I turned to her, and we continued our session. She wanted to know if it made me angry by asking that question, and I might have figured out why she asked me that. She was a bit skeptical of me since she thought that I was still this raging lunatic, who wanted to end everyone's life. I admit that there was a time when Sally wouldn't be breathing any longer, for asking that question, but I decided to let it go for now. “Not eno
(Ryker) I couldn't believe that I had been tricked by Andrea. I was still fuming by the time I got to the pack house. Not knowing what else to do, I originally planned on going to my room, but I was stopped by a crowd that had formed in the living room. What could they possibly want now?“Alpha Ryker, everyone here wishes to talk to you about something important.” Damian said, and I nodded my head. I walked over to where Miles was standing and told them to go on. An elderly woman by the name of Dianne stepped forward, and what she said next had me shitting myself. I should have seen this coming. “Alpha Ryker, I know that we hated Sheila and wanted her out of the pack, but we can't help but think that something is wrong. Earlier, Alfred, my dear husband, went to her room to check it out because he felt like something was wrong, and he told me that all of her clothes were still there, but she has been missing for a long time now. Do you have any idea where she might be?” Gloria asked
(Raina) I was walking around with Elias and Kat, trying to stay focused on their conversation as they tried hard to include me. But, I found myself spacing out as I recalled what had happened between Parker and I. It seems as if I was a fool, to run from him the way that I did, when I should have stayed and talked to him. Now, I was feeling a bit guilty. I bit my finger as I continued to think about him. The look on his face right before I teleported would forever be etched into my memory. “I'm such a bad mate.” I said out of nowhere, putting a pause on the conversation between Elias and Kat, I had no idea what they were talking about, so to me, it wasn't that important. “What? What did you do?” Elias asked, giving me an accusatory look. I rolled my eyes and ran my hand through my hair. “Well, Parker and I hadn't been intimate at all. He's trying to hold back for my sake because he knows that I'm not ready.” I looked down, currently beating myself up because of the way I acted. I
(Raina)Being a witch wasn't easy for me. Going through training and at the age of twenty was a difficult task. My birthday is coming up, but I still felt like I wasn't mature enough. I couldn't even get Elias to continue his training. He forfeited it because he thought that he would change. I would have been there for him, but he wasn't ready, so I supported him either way.It's been a week now since Jason had left, and that's the last time since I have seen Elias. I'm sure he had a lot to do, but I missed my friend. Today, I was fully prepared to go over to his pack and demand that he visit me often. That would be selfish of me, but at this point, I didn't care. I needed the distraction. Why? Because of Parker Johnson, my mate and linker. I haven't formed a bond with him as yet. He knew the reasons, so he chose to wait until I was ready. I am not even sure if I'm going to ever be ready. How can I mate with someone who was working for my aunt? I still haven't come to terms with that
(Jason) “Are you sure there's nothing I can do for you?” Killian asked for the tenth time. I shook my head, making him sigh with frustration. I don't understand why he cared though, I mean, this is my fate. The goddess chose not to give me a mate. The most I can do is mourn the loss of something that I could have had. “Look, I get that it's difficult. You had hopes, and it was torn away in the blink of an eye. You're welcome to stay here as long as you want.” Did I want that, though? I was still tempted to visit other packs, even though I wasn't even sure if I had the luxury of getting a second chance mate. “I would rather leave, I don't think there is a reason for me to stay here.” I snapped, making him flinch as I gulped down the remaining liquor that Killian gave me earlier. “It's only customary for me to…" I slammed the glass down on the kitchen counter. Killian jumped a little from my sudden burst of anger. “It's only customary, my ass! You're only doing this because you fee
(Jason) I hated to admit it, but I was in love with Elias. The only way to remain sane was for me to leave. I didn't intend to stay this long, though, but being in the company of Elias, I didn't have any intention of leaving. I felt comfortable around him. Every so often, I wish that he was my mate, but that was me taking this further than it already was. Given the fact that I'm almost forty and Elias is nineteen, it would have looked unfortunate on my part. Plus, he's basically my nephew. Since he's Samuel's adopted son. Fuck, there were so many cons if I was ever to pursue something with Elias. I sighed as I waved goodbye to everyone who was there to see me off. I may have given up on finding my mate before, but I guess I should start trying for the sake of my sanity. The first place, for my trip, was to search at the pack that Ryland found Kai in Canada. I don't even know if I'm going to have that much of luck as Ryland did, but I have to give it a try. If I fail, then there a
(Elias) Going to therapy once more with Ryker, it felt strange. I wanted to tell Sally that she wasn't needed here anymore, so she could go back to her pack, but I wasn't sure how I was going to do so without sounding rude. I had already spoken to Lilliana about it, and she was happy that I had come to terms with everything that had happened to me in the past. But, she wanted to make sure that I was mentally capable of moving on. I had to think about it, and my final answer was yes. I am able to move on without therapy without having flashbacks, without having to go back to the cave where I felt safe. Forest also came to terms with what had happened to him, to us. He accepted his future without any complaints. Now, it was time to put the past behind us. Ryker, well, he also agreed with this. He didn't need therapy anymore, since he was adamant that he had changed. There were bound to be some slip ups, but we could work on that ourselves. So, with that being said, we sat in thera
(Ryker) Today, it was full here as everyone decided to use this day to party. To let loose and have fun, but while they were dancing, I was moping. Why? Because of Jason. He was all over my mate. The two of them were dancing as if they were lovers. Even though that wasn't the case, I still had a strong urge to go over to where they were and rolled them apart. The only problem was Max. He kept me rooted to the spot. I couldn't move since he took control of my body. He knew how dark my thoughts had gotten and was trying to get me to stay as far away from Elias and Jason as I could. I didn't care if they were having fun. The only person who was allowed to grab his ass like that was me. I huffed and tried to fight for control once more but failed miserably. 'Fuck you Maxwell.' I said, using his full name. He laughed, at the way I was acting. It wasn't funny one bit. 'Loosen up, will you? You know that today is the last day Jason will be here. He's leaving to search for his mate, I t
(Elias) Time flew by so quickly that I celebrated my birthday on January 20, and now I'm nineteen years old. Everyone was there to support me. That day, I was sworn in as the Alpha of the Red Forest Pack. A pack that is now combined with The Dark Sea Pack. Now, Kai is the only Luna for The Dark Sea Pack. I could never see myself as a Luna or even a warlock. It was hard for me to accept those, knowing that I was never going to be happy. But now that I have what was originally mine, I felt like I finally felt like I belonged. Like I was finally wanted. I am currently at Lillian's, talking to her. She wanted to know if I was alright, after everything that I had been through. All the struggles that I had faced, the hardship, the pain. All of that is now in the past, and it's time for me to move on. After my talk with Lilliana and promising her that I will continue my therapy session, I was finally able to spend some time with Raina. She told me that she wanted me to meet someone, I wa
(Ryker) I had to admit, what Forest said had left me thinking about taking him in more ways than one. Elias eventually took control, and when he saw the look on my face, he started blushing. “And yet, you claimed that you weren't gay.” Ryland said. I narrowed my eyes at him for interrupting my thoughts. “Dad already scolded me for that countless times, I don't need to hear it from you too.” I replied, making him chuckle. “I got it from him, I remembered that he asked me to use that line against you whenever you're stating at Elias as if you want to eat him.” I flinched at his reply, Max chuckled since he could tell why I reacted the way I did. After a couple more minutes, everyone was ready to leave. Raina teleported us back to my pack. Then, she left with Lilliana and the others. I told Damian and Miles to take them to a room while I followed Elias. He still had Liam wrapped in his arms, I didn't know how I'm going to get him to take a break, but I needed his help with a little
(Elias) I can't believe that I'm back, I didn't think that it was possible for me to be here, but it did work. I was fading, along with everything that was tied to Amaros. Since I was his son, I would have vanished forever. But, despite my hatred for Andrea, she found a way to help me. Now, here I am, surrounded by my family, the ones who care about me the most. But, what caught my eyes more was my brother. I still considered him my brother, regardless of what his parents had done to me in the past. I didn't consider them my parents, as much as I wish that things were different, it wasn't. “What's his name?” I asked Ryker, who had me wrapped in his arms. I continued to stare at my brother, who was with Lilliana. It seems as if she doesn't have any intention of letting him go. “It's Liam. He's an omega, at least that's what Asia told me.” Ryker replied. Lilliana walked over to me and smiled. “Would you like to hold him?” She asked. My eyes became wide as I looked at my brother, I
