(Ryker) After parting ways with Elias, I made my way to my brother's room in hopes of talking to him about this mess we had both landed ourselves in. I know that he probably had a lot of questions so I'm hoping to try and answer them as best as I could for him. Talking to Elias earlier, somehow brought on a new realization that I would have to try harder to win him over. I know that I fucked up our chance of ever having a relationship in the beginning when I wanted to kill him, when I sent him back to the forest to die. i am still confused about my sexuality, the bond between Elias, and I was stronger now, and it was making it hard for me to keep to myself. I was blaming the bond for making me follow him around like a lovesick puppy who could not be away from its master for too long. My parents were still pushing me, hoping to have Elias as our Luna/alpha but I wasn't sure if I like it or not. I knocked on my brother's door after announcing my presence and he told me to come in whic
( Elias) " how are you really feeling, Elias? It's a simple question. People often lie when they tell you I'm fine." Lilliana asked, and I sighed as I looked down at the plate of food that was placed in front of me. It was dark by the time I got back from the treehouse because Lilliana wanted me here. I was sitting at the table with her and the others after Ryland's sudden departure. ' To be honest I'm confused, I'm more confused about everything than I normally would be. I also feel guilty for what I did to ryland, even though it wasn't really my fault.' I replied, Making Lilliana nod. It's a good thing ryker wasn't here, since he decided to spend some time with his parents. He had been following me around a lot, not giving me the space that I needed. It was then that I realized he had some sort of plan, one I wish didn't involve me. " That's why you are still going to get the help that you require. That's something you can't put off, that and speaking to Bryan and Brendan's mothe
(Ryker) " you know what's funny? For a minute there I thought I would have to share my mate with my brother. My twin at that. I guess Selene changed her mind at the last minute because that would be so fucked up." I said to my parents who were still a bit down because Ryland decided to leave. I get why he wanted to leave and I supported him a hundred percent, if it means getting him away from Elias then I'd do anything. But that was beside the point, even though ryland made a promise of being back within a year I already miss him. We didn't get along because of me, but I can't help but miss my brother the more I realized he wasn't going to be here. That he would be gone for quite sometime trying to find his second chance mate. " I know. You're the jealous type ryker, you and Ryland would butt heads over Elias so it was a good thing this didn't go in that direction. I'm just sad that he has to suffer because of this fucked up sitaution you are all in." Mom said as dad handed her a g
(Elias) It's been two weeks since I have accepted ryker as my mate and it still didn't feel right. Leaving here was something that was bound to happen, but I was still confused. " do you want to come back again? It seems as if it's going to rain and by the looks of it, it's probably going to be bad." I nodded my head and thanked Rachel as I sprinted out of the office. Coming to sign language class today was a big mistake, when I knew it was about to rain. I ran as fast as I could because forest decided to hide already. I don't even know how he survived being on his own for so long if he's also afraid of the thunderstorm as well. ' you don't know half of what I went through.' He snapped as he went back to hiding. Lightning, being my worse fear ever started zapping through the sky as if it was mad at me, Causing me to jump from freight as a loud thunder followed after. I whimpered and ran as fast as I could, reaching the pack house in no time. At least I made it here alive. I didn'
(Ryker) This was a surprise. The fact that Elias was in my bed curled up in my arms left me in shock even though apart of me didn't mind at all. I opened the door earlier to find Samuel standing there with Elias in his arms and to tell you the truth, I felt a twinge of jealousy at that moment. I scowled when I realized where my thoughts were taking me or what I was currently doing. Never in my entire life have I thought about being with a man let alone cuddling with one who is my mate and to tell you the honest truth, this felt right. Elias shifted and his eyes open wide with fright as another loud thunder echoed throughout the room. I heard his heartbeat galloping, which told me that he was really scared of the storm. " it's not going to get you Elias, can you stop acting like a damn child?" I mentally facepalmed myself because I couldn't believe that I had opened my mouth and said that. He pushes me away, standing up while backing away from me. I guess I deserved that didn't I?
(Ryker) When I woke up the following day I forgot what had happened before. I forgot about Elias falling asleep next to me as it rains. I felt something or someone pinning me down on the bed and I moved on instinct. Pushing the person as hard as I could and hearing a yelp in return. Looking down I saw that it was Elias and started to scowl. How the hell could I have gotten so weak and allowed him in bed with me? It all started coming back to me, my memories being plaqued by what I was saying to him and how I was reacting to him being so close. How could I even fall asleep with him and even went as far as thinking about how good it felt to have him as my Mate and in my arms? What the hell is wrong with me? ' Ryker what the hell was that?' He asked as he stood up and glared at me. " what the hell was that? Get the Fuck out of my room!" My voice sounded strange, even to my ears. Elias jumps and ran as fast as he could out of my room. So much for making progress right? I sighed as I g
(Elias) I didn't trust this. I didn't trust him. This was all too sudden, leaving the pack that I came to love so much. I missed Raina already but I felt better knowing she would always be there for me. I wonder how Lilliana and Samuel would cope without me, they both saw me as their son and even went as far as adopting me. They were the first persons to show me any kind of love and I would miss it dearly. We had arrived at the dark sea pack in no time, Raina had to leave because she had some things to get done. Ryker didn't waste any time by pulling me by my arm and dragging me to another room. " this is where you'll be sleeping from now on. Do not bother me if it's not for something important. Do not speak to me unless spoken to. Do I make myself clear?" He had said before he left and I nodded my head because I didn't want to be at the receiving end of his temper. I could feel it, our bond gave me the opportunity to know what he was feeling and I didn't like it one bit. Now, her
(Ryker) " and where do you think you're going? You had only just arrived here, but here you are running already when you should be spending time with your mate." Dad said as I glared at him, feeling annoyed by his presence. " I'm a grown ass man who doesn't need to answer to you or mom. Where I go should not be any problems of yours." I replied in a harsh tone, Dad started shaking his head as he looks at me with disappointment. " so we are back to square one? It's a lucky thing the elders already left, if they were to see you like this I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to take your title from you." He's acting as if I gave a damn. If it's the alpha title they wanted so badly, they can have it for all I care. " I'm not going to stay here and argue with you old man, I have things to take care of. Now if you'll excuse me..." I said as I made a move to leave. But instead I was stopped by what my father had said. "I don't even know where your mother and I went wrong. We raised you and R
(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
