As the goddesses disappear, Jolene‘s body starts to float to the ground. Theo catches her and she lands gently in his arms. He carries her smoothly over to Rora and Luna. He and Luna and Luna smiles at him softly. She motions for him to follow her and to place her back in the seat.
Rora tells him, “You can ride with me.”He disagrees, “My job is to protect Jolene. I will be riding with Jolene.”Luna appreciates him but explains, “There is no room for you in the car.”He argues, “Then I will drive.”Luna laughs, “have you ever driven before?”He surprises her, “I have, I have driven the moon goddess around a few times when she just needed some fresh air and wanted to enjoy the earth.”He snatches the keys from her hands, and then climbs in next to Jolene. Rora and Luna share worried looks, but they know that they aren’t going to win this one. The climb into the van bickering among each other.*A few hours later*Jolene wakes up and is shocked and confused by the handsome Stranger sitting next to her. She looks around and she notices that Rora and Luna are driving behind them. She can see they’re not panicking, so she just takes a deep breath and turns her upper body towards the man.She tries to be stern but polite, “I’m Sorry sir who are you?”He Chuckles, “You see a strange man next to you that you don’t know and you choose to call him, sir?”She points behind them, “I can see my aunties are driving behind us and they don’t look like they’re worried, so why should I be?”He seems pleased, “Observant, I like that. Sometimes it’s good to get more information before you freak out.”Shad but then repeats herself, “Who are you?”He smirks at her, “I am Theo. I am the one that the moon goddess has bestowed upon queen Luna to train you.”Jolene is shocked, “You know that Luna was a queen? She told me that no one has to know that I’m not supposed to repeat it?”He rolls his eyes at her, “Did you not catch the part when I said that the moon guy sent me? The moon goddess knows everything, so why wouldn’t I know that she used to be the queen to be honest between you and me the moon goddess and I still consider her the queen.”Jolene smiles and changes the subject, “So how are you gonna teach me to fight?”He has had a painful sigh, “I’m going to have to fight myself.”She turns her head to look in his direction, and she takes a second to really take him in. She starts to feel worried. He’s got to be the biggest man that she has ever seen. His forearms are the size of her head.He laughs, “I can see you’re scared by the look in your eye, but I can reassure you that I will take it easy on you. By the time I’m done with you, you’ll be able to take me down.”She smiles, but then everything around her starts to fade and finds herself somehow trapped in her mind.Her wolf tells her, “I like him.”She laughs, “He's scary!”her wolf surprises her, “Scary is safe.”She laughs, “ What about your mate?”Her wolf comes back, “I hope it’s him!”She has snapped out of her thoughts, by Theo lightly shaking her, “Earth to Jolene!”Jolene blinks her eyes as she stares at him.He gives her a knowing look, “I know that. You’re having a private conversation with your wolf?”Jolene nods, “It’s then happening ever since she showed herself to me.”He smiles, “I understand my inner wolf has been my best friend ever since we met”They both laugh.His smile falters and his tone gets serious, “ Why are you running from your father?”Jolene tries to explain in the best way that she can, “I don’t know much, but I’ll tell you what I know. My mother and father were in love. They both thought that she was his soulmate. When the full moon came out and she found her wolf, my father was nowhere to be found, and when she did find him, she found him in the arms of his roommate. She was angry and ran off. He chased after her and out of Burien anger of her, refusing to be his second wife lashed out, and then I was conceived…”Jolene goes silent for a moment before continuing, “My mother escaped. He’s been searching for her ever since. When I was born, she didn’t survive. Rora and Lucy got an enchantment put on me, but when my transformation starts, I won’t be able to hide.”He places a gentle hand on her hand. For a moment all of her problems fade away. Jolene's wolf hollars with excitement, but is sad when he pulls away. She's confused when his expression changes and he looks angry.Awkward silence causes her to panic, “will you ever be able to find your mate?”He growls, “That’s none of your business.”She is confused, “Did I do something wrong?”He lashes back, “I just think that we should focus on you. Hoping you are what's going to get me back on earth. I have been in trouble for centuries because I fell in love with the wrong woman.”Jolene doesn’t know what to say. She’s relieved when she notices that her aunts are pulling over. She gets excited when she sees it there at a restaurant because she is starting to feel hungry once the car is put into park, she climbs out.She quickly makes her way over to Luna and starts to gossip with her.Rora waits for Theo, “Are you hungry?”She gives him a curious look, “Do you even eat?”He can help it to laugh at her, “Yes, I eat I’m not a robot!”She laughs, “I know that the goddesses don’t eat and since you’ve been living up there with her for so long I wasn’t sure if the same goes for you?”He gives her an appreciative smile, “Thank you. I’m not used to people asking me personal questions and actually an answer.”Rora smiles and then pulls him by his arm to go and eat.Rora and Theo become instant friends. Jolene finds herself getting a little jealous. She doesn’t understand why he doesn’t want to be her friend. Luna and Jolene are riding together again. Rora was able to talk him into riding with her.Luna can’t stop talking about him, “I can’t believe he’s so handsome. I heard stories, but they do not compare.”She laughs, but Jolene just remains quiet.Luna continues, “I can’t believe out of all of us that it’s Rora he has taken to.”She laughs but is getting annoyed by Jolene’s silence, “What’s so quiet? What are you jealous of Rora?”She laughs, but Jolene's silent answer is more than enough and she gasps, “OMG, you're jealous!”Jolene shrugs, “Maybe, I'm not sure. I’m happy that she finally had a friend. I just wish that I could have a chance to get to know him too.”She just stares blankly at Jolene. Jolene gets frustrated, “Why are you staring at me like that?”Luna smiles at her, “I think you have a crush on him?”Jolene laughs, “I don’t kn
Diablo takes them back to his place.he takes Holene to her guest room, for a nap. Luna and Rora, admire the cave. He built a cozy mention inside a cave. Theo is skeptical, “You're the son of the king of the werewolves, and this is your home?”Diabo is irritated, “I don’t live with my father. I don’t live off of my father. We haven’t even spoken in over a year.”Theo crosses his arms, “And why not?”Diablo mimics him, “My dad isn’t what he used to be. He’s obsessed with finding Jolene. He’s out of control and uses cruel and unusual punishments on wolves that don’t deserve it.Theo studies him for a moment and then decides to drop it. He walks to Jolene's room and peaks in on her. He watches her for a moment and can’t contain his smile. She starts to move and he speed walks to his room.Jolene's eyes open, she looks around and sees that she's alone. She shakes off that feeling like someones watching her, and she drifts back to sleep.Luna and Rora can't stop touching the wall. The cave
After a few days of being with Diablo at his house, he stresses to everybody, “I will admit that we are safe here, but it’s not doing any good. We need back up, we need an army, we need to be better prepared.”Diablo agrees, “You’re right, but we need wolves, we don't need witches.” Rora debates, “I agreed that we need wolves, but we also need witches, too”Theo suggests, “ What if we go to my old clan and see if they’ll help us?”Luna is confused, “I thought you killed all of them?”Theo is slightly amused, “No, that was not my clan. There was a she wolf, and she was in love with me, and she got jealous, because she thought that her and I should have been married, because neither of us had found our mates.”Diablo laughs, “You sly dog!”They all start to laugh.Rora does her little chants and items start to pack themselves.Diablo seems sad, “You’re leaving?”Luna encourages, “You can come with us?”Theo doesn’t look like he agrees but Diablo asks, “Really?”Luna blushes and runs h
*Two days later*Jolene is starting to lose faith in those that promised to protect her. One of the werewolves walks by the curtain and it moves. It allows a little ray of sunshine to sneak in. As the heat hits her face she thinks of Apollo.The sun burns so bright, it causes the curtain to set fire. The whole building starts to shake and water seeps in through every crack. Wild and deadly vines start to kill the werewolves one by one. She hears screams and Luna comes barricading through the walls and demands, “Get out!”Jolene smiles at the sight of her but listens and runs.Her wolf takes over and she runs right past Diablo Jr.He follows her, “How is this possible? Our father didn’t even do this? You are so much stronger than him!”At this point she doesn’t care, “Forget about him! He’s no father to me!”He howls in agreement and leads her to safety.When they get where they need to be he tells her, “when you left, Theo took it hard!”Jolene is confused, “How?”He shakes his head
Jolene is thrown down to the ground, but she gets back up, and rushes at Apollo with all her strength. He barely moves out of the way, but she surprises him by taking him out by his ankles. She jumps on top of him and holds him down.Apollo smirks at her, “You know, I let you win?”Jolene snickers, “and why would you do that?”He brushes his lips against her ear, “I like you in this position.”She accidentally lets out a passionate breath.He flips her over, smirking down at her, “Who am I kidding?”She looks confused until he leans down and she feels his hot breath on her lips, “I like this spot too.”He gives her a passionate kiss and for a moment, she forgets where she is.Luna and Diablo walk into the room and dramatically cover their eyes, “Come on guys, get a room!”Apollo pulls away from her and gives her a look.She pushes him off of her, “No! I have told you a hundred times, I am not ready for that!”Luna is shocked, “What happened to waiting for your mate?”Diablo answers fo
Apollo and Jolene are having dinner with Luna and Diablo. They are laughing when the moon Goddess appears. Apollo stands up to welcome her, but is cautious by her vibes.He gives her a chance to speak and she does, “Shane on you, Apollo!”He sarcastically points to himself, “Me?”She laughs? “You know what you did!”He shakes his head and sips his wine.She turns to Luna, “Diablo has teamed up with the vampires!”Luna makes a disgusted noise, “That’s just wrong!”The moon Goddess adds, “They’ve kidnapped Theo!”Luna worries, “Rora?”She shakes her head, “Just Theo!”She turns to Jolene, “They know he’s your mate!”Luna questions, “How?”She shrugs, “The vampires have their own witches!”Luna scowls, “Traders!”The moon Goddess informs her, “It’s the queen..”Luna stands up, “It’s time for me to take back my place as queen!”Diablo gets excited, “That’s my girl!”The moon Goddess turns to Jolene, “It is your time to become queen!”Jolene can’t get the words out because she is too focus
Jolene stares up at the castle. She’s been told 100 times that this is going to be hers. She knows that patience is a virtue. First she has to save her future king. She says this was sarcasm to herself because she knows who her real king is.The moon goddess can’t join them on this quest, because as the creator of the wolves, she can dictate what she wants, but she cannot control them or their actions. Luna and Diablo have put together this plan.They go storming in right from the front gate as a distraction. Jolene goes from the back. Everyone is trying to fight out the powerful Luna and Diablo has learned a little bit of magic Jolene snakes in the back. She uses her connection to try to find him. Diablo reassures her that this is how she can find him quickly.Jolene, on the other hand, is struggling with it because her bond with Theo is not complete and it’s not very strong. She uses the invisibility spell that Luna had taught her and she walks around listening to overhears two wolv
Theo continues to follow Jolene. The nights and days are so cold. It causes Jolene to get sick. She starts to breathe heavily. She refuses to allow the water to warm her up. She starts to breathe slowly, and Theo gets worried, and without her permission, he forms the bond.Jolene is so weak that she just allows it. They're so strong she can’t even deny it. Snuggle and nozzle and sweet kisses yourself starting to hate him a little less. She falls asleep, and she dreams of sunshine and puppies.She’s woken up by the brown being broken. She’s cautious and slow and she just tries to listen before she reacts. She wants to know what’s going on before she jumps up. She hears Luna and Diablo. It takes all of her not to grunt. She’s about to jump up and tell them to go away until she hears Roras voice.She listens as she speaks to Theo, “I know this isn’t going to end well. I know you will never accept it and that is your mate but I need you to know that this is your baby…”She can’t control
