(Elias) I couldn't leave my room. It wasn't because I didn't want to see Ryker, it was because of something else. It's been two weeks now and I'm left to bear the burden of it by myself which sucks big time. The full moon was approaching, which meant one thing. My heat. How in the name of the goddess am I going to get through this knowing I can't stand being around Ryker? Knowing I won't be able to let him touch me in a sexual way without feeling repulsed? Even forest didn't know what to do. I didn't want to contact Raina because I knew she had things to do. It would only seem as if I was a baby and I needed constant care. It was too much. the scent, the pain, everything. I couldn't scream or call for help because I was mute. I could only contact Ryker for now, because he hasn't introduced me to his pack members as yet. I didn't know anyone here who I could rely on apart from his parents whom I didn't feel like bothering at this time. Maybe I should swallow my pride and let Ryker
(Warning.... this chapter is a Little crazy so I'll just leave a warning here.) —————————————————(Ryker) I had just finished taking a shower when I got a mind link from forest saying Elias was in heat. I couldn't believe it, so i got dressed in a hurry and made my way to his room without stopping. Opening the door, I saw Elias in bed moaning from the pain of being in heat. His scent was so strong, attacking me the minute I opened the door. I didn't waste any more time as I slammed my lips down on his. His lips tasted so sweet, felt so soft and pure against mine. Taking my time, I took his clothes off as well as mine so we were both naked. No, I wasn't going to prep him. I didn't love him and I couldn't stand being next to him so why should I? The mate bond as well as his heat was the only things I would blame for the way I was so eager to get a taste of him. I pulled away from him, staring into eyes I knew belonged to forest. Elias's eyes are blue, the kind of blue that reminded
(Elias) Forest gave me control once more after telling me that he needed time to rest. It seems as if something happened to him while mating with Ryker, but he wouldn't tell me what it was. When I got back control, the first thing I noticed was the excruciating pain that I was feeling in my lower back and feet. It was hard for me to walk, so I had to be in bed for most part. The second thing I noticed was Ryker sleeping next to me. It was dark when I woke up, which meant that I was out for hours. I thought that Ryker would have left when he was done, but I guess I was wrong. What is he still doing here by the way? The third thing was the heat was gone, which I was grateful for. Did he forgot his rules when he had just brought me here? If he was staying out of pity he can leave for all I care. Moments later he started to stir, letting me know that he was about to wake up. A yawn escapes his mouth as he opens his eyes, which landed on me instantly. The light from the lamp has given
(Elias) Ryker was walking next to me while informing me on what's supposed to happened, The following morning when I woke up and got ready to face the day ahead. " so I wanted to introduce you to everyone before we head over to our therapy session. I know that I should have done that before, but I was too caught up with my personal feelings that it slipped my mind." He said and I nodded my head. I wasn't really listening because my mind was elsewhere. " after therapy, I'll be busy throughout the day so you can hang out with ryland's mate kai if you want or take a walk around the pack. try to get to know everyone better." I sent him an ok through the link as he continues to talk. To be honest I still didn't trust him, I mean would you if you were in my position? I don't really care about what other people might think, once you've done me wrong in any way, shape or form, I will not be able to trust you after that. " remember if you still need to visit the shadow stone pack you can,
(Ryker) Therapy wasn't really what I expected, that's why I said it didn't work. It only brought up bad memories for Elias which left him crying. He was too tired to even walk when we were done so I had to carry him back to our room to relax. I was there with him until he fell asleep, but now I had to leave because I had a lot of work to get done.Sitting in my office alone, I got to work in order to get my mind off what had happened earlier. Elias had a link opened between sally, who is my therapist and I so that we could communicate that way. She asked him a lot of things from how his life was going to school and how his family treated him. At first he revealed how they took care of him, how they groomed him at an early age to be an alpha and he actually thought they loved him. Then when it got to the point where he had to relive his experience with what had happened after they found out he wasn't an alpha, he broke down. The fact that I couldn't hear his cries or his pleas to sto
(Ryker) " I don't feel so good." I said as I got in bed next to Elias who woke up because of the noise I was making before. ' what's wrong with you?' He asked. Not in a worried tone, but an irritated one. " probably a stomach bug or something, don't mind me. I'm just going to sleep it off." I replied as I started to snuggle with the pillows. Still thinking about what max had done, I couldn't help but want to vomit every time. Max found it funny though, laughing at my expense. I am never going to give him control ever again. ' maybe it was something you ate before, would you like some tea?' I shook my head at Elias's question, closing my eyes as I groaned. " I'm just going to sleep it off, hopefully I'll be better in a couple hours or so." I said and he nodded his head. It didn't help that max was teasing me, it wasn't funny at all. Sure I would have killed Sheila myself, but i wouldn't resort to eating her! That's the last thing that was on my mind. But max is a wolf so I had no
(Ryker) 'Don't talk to me.' I said to max who was trying to tell me a joke. I just didn't feel like talking to him after what he did. Even though it seems as if it wasn't bothering him one bit.' oh come on! Stop being so lame. You were once the killer of rogues, the one who thrives on fear so what's with the sudden change? I know it doesn't have anything to do with Elias.' He said as if he was trying to annoy the hell out of me, it was working of course. ' even though you said that you have changed, I know you're only pretending. Afterall I'm your other half, I can feel how desperate you are trying not to show your true colors. That's why I hate fake people, they always rub me the wrong way. You shouldn't be mad because I ate Sheila, I was starving for goddess sake.' I rolled my eyes as he continued to rant. Going on and on as if he didn't know when to shut the hell up. When I woke up this morning, Elias told me he was going to spend the day with Raina and Lilliana. Of course I mi
(Elias) ' I really want to know what I should do Raina. Should I forgive him or not?' I was confused. My feelings were getting stronger and stronger as the days goes by for Ryker and I didn't know what to do. Raina and I are currently at the tree house hanging out after I told her that I wanted to come here. " I can't tell you what to do Elias, that would only confuse you more. You should look deep within yourself to see if this is what you want or not. Only you can answer that question." I groaned at her reply and shook my head. This didn't make any sense, none of it did. ' how can I know the answer when I'm so confused? It doesn't matter if he's my mate or not, I just don't know if I should trust him or...or forgive him for what he did a-and try to move on. I can't...." I started to sob as I looked back at all the things I've been through. All I wanted was love, I wanted a family dammit! Was that too much to ask for? What wrong have I done to be treated like this? Life is not fa
(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
