MARINA POV Garrett growls viciously as I finally step out of the bushes I have been hiding in, and I freeze. One wrong move, and I know the grieving wolf will rip me in half, but for some reason, I don't want to leave him. His pain is calling to me. "I have smelled you since you showed back up, fish. Why can't you let me mourn in peace," Garrett snarls without looking away from his child's burnt corpse. I sigh and sink down to my knees. I lick my lips nervously as I try to shift through the jumbled thoughts in my brain. Flashes from my own pain fill my mind and I close my eyes. "Grieving alone or with company doesn't matter. It still hurts," I whisper back after a few seconds as I reopen my eyes. The heartbroken wolf actually looks at me. His bloodshot eyes and tear-stained cheeks hit my heart hard. I try to keep the sympathy and pity out of my eyes, but I know he can see it. "I don't know how to grieve. Lucian is the last person I grieved for. I was only a pup then
OCTAVIUS POV My irritation at being disturbed disappears as my eyes lock with Brittany's pain-filled face. Behind her stands her and Garrett's remaining pups, making me feel even worse. "Please! I can't lose him too. I feel him in my heart, Alpha. He is tearing himself apart. He needs us, please," Brittany begs, and my head actually falls in shame. I should have drug him home, but I wanted to give him space to grieve. I never even considered how painful that would be for Garrett's family. I mainly care only about him. But he is tied to his mate as I am tied to mine now. "I don't know if the siren is still close by. We can try, but I think I will have to involve my mother in this to get him back," I say as my eyes drift back up to hers. She nods and immediately begins to head towards the exit. I glance back at Sara to find she has thrown on a comfy outfit. She smiles at me as she heads my way and grabs my hand. "Let's go get him," She whispers, and I smile. My mate feels
LIAM POV Mom is practically jogging as we head towards the stream the pack used to retrieve our Luna. Her heartbeat is running wild, and I know she is in pain, but I can't bring myself to comfort her. I don't know what to say.Thomas and I didn't grow up together. He was the eldest out of us and a good fifty, some odd years older than me. We were family but not friends. I loved him, but not like mom and dad loved him. I have no idea how to feel about losing my brother. I haven't ever lost anyone before. "It's okay, Brittany. I smell him," Alpha says to calm mom down, and I sniff the air. My siblings all do the same as me, and mom sighs out in relief.Dad's familiar scent is mixed with two others, so it's hard to find in the faint breeze, but after a few moments, I pinpoint him, and so do my siblings. Kelsey shoots me a sad glance, and I nod to signal I smell it too.One of the scents mixed with dad is definitely Thomas, but his smell is all wrong. His typical cedar smell is mix
SARA PO "Octavius, I really am fine. We can't control who your mom pairs," I whisper, and Tav growls. "I can feel your anger and your pain, Sara. My mother has knowingly and purposefully forced the person who killed your mother into your life. I will not stand for that," Tav snaps, and my eyes drop away from his face as we enter the big house. I feel so much rage towards Marina about what she did, but there are other feelings too. Feelings that make me feel ashamed because she killed my mother and framed my father. But Marina is a victim too... "Can you get my father out," I whisper, and Octavius looks down at me. "Yes. I will do that first thing tomorrow," he replied instantly, and I nod. "Then that's all that needs to be done. Tell him to disappear. I don't want to see him. I just don't want him going to prison for something he didn't do," I whisper, and Octavius places me on the bed we now share. His blue eyes look me over worriedly, and I give him a small smile bef
Authors Note: The Human is book number one. The New Age King is book number two. I highly suggest reading book one before reading the sequel, but if you don't want to you can manage the second without doing so. The one big thing in the first book was Goddess Selene's curse. She cursed all lycans to be born in wolf form. Their first shift wasn't until the age of ten. Thank you so much for reading."Please, Selene, slow down. Where are we going," I ask as the Goddess in front of me practically sprints down the wide corridor?Selene makes no sign of hearing me and presses forward at the same speed. Forcing me to run to keep up with her. It continues like this for a while until she reaches a door that looks like it has been carved out of the night sky. Stars included."Wow," I breathe out in amazement.Selene stops and brushes her han
OCTAVIUS 10 YEARS OLD The grass tickles my feet lightly as I run through the peaceful field that reminds me of my mother's home. But while it reminds me of my mother's safe place, I know it isn't hers. There is a hidden tension here, almost like a sinister secret. Plus, I can't contact with Beerus here. My wolf is always with me. In my mother's realm, he runs beside me instead of being inside me. "Hello," I call, trying to locate whoever made this new dreamland. I usually travel to my mother's when I sleep, not here. I have never been here before. Father says I should never go anywhere new without him. I hope he doesn't get onto me. I didn't choose to come here. Plus, I am strong. I don't know why he doesn't think I can protect myself. "Well, hello," a calm
AMBER POV I never want to see my son cry again. It felt like my heart was splitting with every tear that fell from his crystal blue eyes. But this has to be done. I need advice on what to do next. Selene and Anniki both know more about the fairies than I do. But I hate leaving my realm. I made my realm in the Earth's time flow so I would always be there with him. So I would never miss anything, and here I am, leaving for the next four years—one stupid day in Selene's time.Selene couldn't keep track of the werewolves because her realm is so far away. So when I made mine, I corrected that problem.I hated that she cursed the werewolves and left them for centuries without even a second thought. And while I do respect her, I swore to do better than her. I will walk amongst my wolves. I will create every
OCTAVIUS (15 YRS OLD) "You can not go all out on your sparing partners, Tav," Father growls as he grabs me by my arm and yanks me to a stop. I growl a little at the reprimand, but my head still drops respectfully. "You broke Garret's arm! He will have to spend the rest of the day healing! You mind telling me what that was about," Father shouts while letting his Alpha aura out. I shrug, and he throws my arm away from him. "That's not a good enough answer, Octavius. You are the Alpha in training. The pack needs to be able to trust you. Garret was not expecting you to go from basic combat to kill mode in thirty seconds. You could have ripped his arm off," Father declares, and guilt manages to push past my annoyance. I didn't mean to go all out on my friend, but my mind had wande
