ARIZONA I huffed and puffed, groaning deeply. We had been stuck in this library for hours on end going through books upon books, looking for anything we could find on Celeste's life. I had been complaining, now taking to huffing and puffing, to express my displeasure at having all my brain cells being fried by being in this place. I just laid on the sofa in the library while Alex and Adriana walked around, looking through rows upon rows of books. Something just didn't sit right with me but I was yet to find out what it was. Adriana walked to the sofa I was lying on, book in hand and sat beside me before she began to read out loud. 'Reincarnation is a process signifying the reappearance and rebirth of a person. Though it happens sometimes, this process is not common. Usually when it happens, the incarnate has a mission to fulfill. Though doubted, the incarnate rarely has memories of his previous life. It is sometimes said that the incarnate will keep being born, dying an

PHOENIX I walked through the dark hallway, the stones beneath my boots creaking eerily. I had melted the iron bars surrounding the human sized cage I was kept in, almost sizzling myself in the process. Now, I was stuck with trying to navigate my way through a very dark hallway to escape. My ears perked up as I tried to listen. Thinking about it, I remembered Adriana saying I was also part vampire. I concentrated hoping to unlock my vampire side. After much breath holding exercises, I was about ready to give up. However, my eyes started feeling itchy. I felt a weird sensation beneath my eye balls and everything got clearer. I ran my tongue along my teeth to find wickedly sharp fangs. I quickly focused on navigating my way out. A small creak had me halting as I stopped and crouched low to see who it was. A guard walked past as I held my breath. I could have easily set him on fire but the last thing I needed was to draw attention to myself and a glow in the dark was a sur

JACKSON I breathed in deeply, grief washing deliriously over me. Raw pain nagged at my heart, anguish clawing through my being. A hand on my shoulder startled me out of my misery, snapping me back into daunting reality. David looked at me with pity. I felt lost. So lost... Sniffles sounded few feet from me, the sound uncanny. Red puffy eyes stared back at me when I turned, the reason for those tears shattering my heart.Arizona whimpered. I sagged. She was gone. Grief once more clawed at my heart strings, my chest tighting painfully. A tear rolled painfully down my cheeks. My ears began to ring, my vision blurring. She was gone.She was really gone. Someone muttered my name, shaking me but it sounded far away.Too far away. I gasped and shot up, my vision clearing up. My beta, David stood over me, peering at me strangely. A meticulous beeping filled the air and I turned, gasping in relief. She was alive, okay. 'Alpha are you okay' David's voice rang in my ears, fi

PHOENIX I breathed in deeply, nerves rushing erratically through me as I sat still, getting prepped for my big day. Makeup artists ran around adding finishing touches to my makeup, hair and dress but I could scarcely register what they were up to. When they were done, they bowed deeply and left the room, leaving me to my bundle of nerves. I trembled. From the background, I heard the door behind me snap open and someone walked in, shutting the door behind them. I turned to two smiling faces looking at me with pure elation. 'You look beautiful Phoenix' Jackson's mother, Eleanor said. She walked up to me and pulled me into her arms in a hug, her lips pulled back in a kind smile. I closed my eyes and hugged her back warmly, letting myself take in her rich lavender scent. Beside her, a throat was cleared and Jackson's mother, Eleanor, released me. I was allowed to breath for two seconds before I was again gathered, this time into the strong arms of Jacqueline, Jackson'

PHOENIX The chilly air whished around, whipping through my red tresses as i walked purposefully out of Jackson's office and out in the open. His face flashed before my eyes. He looked fairly tired and sleep deprived. But I had to talk to him We were fairly weird mates. Selena, The goddess of mates would surely have a field day laughing at our weird love story.I sighed. Why did our lives have to be bothered by sophisticated problems. An attack? Who would dare do that? The Blood Red Pack had its reputation for been ruthless. Whoever was doing this was either too stupid or too confident. I sighed again. This was all beyond me. I approached the playground and took a seat, watching as the children played around happily no doubt blissfully unaware of what was going on. A young girl in her late teens approached me and bowed deeply. 'Luna' she greeted. I nodded at her, waving shyly. I could never get used to this.'what brings you here Luna' she asked, her hands folded
