(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
(Elias) 'Why did you come back here?' Forest asked as he began to whimper. I stood there looking at the view in front of me, I had gotten so comfortable with the idea of having a family and a mate that I had forgotten about this place. 'I only needed to see it again, to be reminded of what we went through.' I replied. Ryker was right. There was something going on with me. I just couldn't put my finger on it. The darkness that was slowly creeping its way through my veins was ready to surface. I didn't want anyone to hate me. That wasn't my intention. But, if I kept this up, then I'm sure that's exactly where this will lead. 'The cave is over there.' Forest said after he calmed down. I made my way towards the cave, a home I once had for two years. I had no idea what Forest went through during those times I was blocked. But, I could tell that it was devastating. He kept things from me, and when I asked, he would avoid the topic altogether. I walked towards the cave and went insid
(Elias) Deciding that I didn't want to go home right now, I went to the Shadow Stone Pack to check on things there. Once I appeared on the land, that was my home. I smiled happily as a couple of pack members greeted me. “Elias!” I heard a voice say, I turned around and saw Raina running up to me. Her magic took hold of my body, instantly, as I felt my body drifting towards her. Once I was in front of her, she hugged me as tightly as she could, and I returned it, of course. “Hey there, best friend.” I replied while chuckling. She pulled away from me and slapped me on my arm. I barely felt it, though, since it was gentle. “Hey there? Is that the best you can do?” She started to pout, which had me laughing. “Don't do that. You look like a walking duck.” I joked. She rolled her eyes and took my hands in hers. “Ever since Sally relocated to Ryker's pack, we haven't been seeing you. It's been what? Two months?” I felt guilty that I hadn't visited them before, but now that I had to tal
(Elias)Jason and I walked outside so that we could have some privacy, I wanted to talk to him about this weird feeling that I have whenever I'm around him. Looking back at the day when I went to his room, I didn't want to leave because my mind and body were finally at peace. Knowing that Samuel had to take me back to Ryker made me a bit frustrated, since I wanted to stay with Jason. What Aamon said, I needed to get this over with. “You can say what you want.” Jason said once we were a distance away from the prying ears and eyes of the pack members who were walking around aimlessly. “First of all, I would like to apologize for the way that I had acted before. I had no reason to do that when you're like an uncle to me. After all, you're Samuel's brother.” I started to say. He nodded his head and folded his arms. “But, you can't deny that there is something weird going on with us. I already apologized to Ryland for what I did, I accepted Ryker as my mate, and my soul isn't wandering a
