THE GODDESS STORY… “I hadn’t been mated long. When our pack was attacked. We were in a war for territory. Territory that belonged to my pack. The young wolves were being held hostage. The pack that attacked us poisoned our water supply with wolfsbane weakening the entire pack. They demanded the deed for our entire land in exchange for the young wolves.”“If my father refused, they were going to kill the young wolves and the omegas. They gave my father two days to decide. My father sent Messengers to neighboring packs to request help and scouts to ensure the young wolves were being cared for and to gather as much intel as possible. The scout learned that the Alpha had plans to kill all of us and keep the young wolves regardless if we gave up our home.”“The messengers returned with no help. The surrounding Alphas wanted no part in our war. They had already made a deal with other Alpha. They agreed to stay out of the fight and in return their lands and pack members would be free from r
A MOMENT OF PEACE…It was a month after the wedding and Ashur and Sam would be coming home from their honeymoon. “Things have settled a little, most of the other packs had gone home.” Mack said to Tanner. “Mason and his pack are leaving after the honeymooners return. My pack will be here until we deal with the darkness. I made a promise to my niece that I wouldn’t leave until I knew she was safe. Plus, the rest of you guys have kind of grown on me.” “Yeah, and we think you guys are tolerable too.” Nezerra said walking up. They all laughed.Most of Skylar’s coven left to join the rest of their coven near Tanner’s daughter’s pack. The twins, the brothers, Skylar, and a few others decided to stick around to help Felan and Keyne learn about their powers and control them. They both had come a long way in a month’s time. It seemed the more they learned the more powers they discovered. Aaliyah’s mate came to join her and meet his stepdaughter.Shaba kept her word and rebuilt the pack territo
THE DARKNESS IS CLOSE…Johnathan left the wolves and set out to do what he came here for in the first place. He was searching for the darkness from the prophecy. He had ideas of where it was stashed and was following up on a few leads. He was also collecting all the darkness he could along the way. What he didn’t know was that for every ounce of darkness he took the same amount of light was finding its way to Felan. Johnathan was headed for the river, not sure of which direction he needed to go once he got there. What he didn’t expect was to find the waterfall cave to hit him smack in the face. There it was the cave he was looking for. From all the research he had done and the information he had gathered, this was the spot he believed he would find the hidden darkness. He could feel the darkness calling him. The pull was strong, and it was leading him further into the cave. He followed the tug and entered the cave. The atmosphere completely changed. Outside of
WAITING…Twenty-four hours later and no change. Johnathan’s people should be arriving any minute. No one had been in, out, or anywhere near the cave. Johnathan felt like he was truly safe and hadn’t been spotted. He still wouldn’t emerge until his people showed. The sun was almost up and still no sign or word from his people.Hours had passed and he had decided to come until his phone vibrated in his pockets. He pulled it out and answered with, “Where are you?” “We were being followed, but we lost them and are taking extra precautions to ensure we are not followed again.” The voice said. “Was it the wolves?” He asked. There was a long pause before the voice said, “No, vampires and we have seen dragons around as well.” “Word of the prophecy has reached them then. I am sure the wolves and witches had a hand in that.”“What do you want us to do?” The asked. “Nothing, just get here as soon as you can. I will be in the cave. Take whatever cautions you need to ensure no one follows.” He ans
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION… Those that knew exactly what Meryl meant laughed and the rest got told we will explain later. They watched as Bridget placed a white candle in the center of the Atlantic Ocean. “Elementa nos ducunt ad quod quaerimus.” The sisters chanted. The rest of the room watched as the candle lit. The sisters kept chanting, but nothing was happening. The flame was flickering and only started to grow when the twins joined the sisters in there chanting. The smoke from the flame started to cover the map. The more they chanted, the thicker the smoke got. The continued to chant until the candle shot a high flame and then went out. They watched as the smoke begin to thin out except in the places where dark magic was being used. “The darker the smoke the stronger the magic.” Aaliyah was handing out the packets with Johnathan ‘s picture to the teams. “Here is what who we are looking for and what we know about him.” She told the teams. “I don’t think we are going to have to
THE END IS NEAR…Johnathan stood looking at the scrolls. He picked one up and unfolded it. There were weird symbols and pictures on it. The scroll looked as though it had been written by Native Americans. He sat that one down and picked up a second one. This one had strange markings on it. Another scroll had lines on it. Johnathan didn’t know what any of the scrolls said, but he would as soon as the rest of his team got here, he would. They wouldn’t be able to study the scrolls here. The scrolls would have to be moved to a safer area. An area where he would less likely be seen. He kept staring at the scrolls and couldn’t shake the feeling that he was missing something. Something that was right in front of his eyes.There was one scroll that was well hidden. The scroll he needed. The one that not only would tell him where the darkness was but show him how to get to it. The scroll was written on the walls of the cave, and when he cloaked the secret room to make it look like no one had e
JOHNATHAN’S SURPRISE… “Everyone is in place.” One of the allies said, as she approached the group. “His eyes are still on us.” Another one said. “Good, let’s try to keep it that way.” Aaliyah replied. “Next two.” Said the Alpha of the Allied pack. Two more wolves stepped in the center and began to fight. Skylar approached Aaliyah and said. “After today we need to start training everyone together. We are going to be going up against all factions with all factions. We need to learn how to fight each other.” “I agree with you. It’s not going to be easy, but if we are going to survive this.” Aaliyah agreed. “That’s tomorrow’s fight let’s just get through today first.” Skylar said as they both nodded. Johnathan was too busy watching the allied pack that he didn’t notice he was being surrounded by the pack and the rest of the allies. Half had already shifted into wolf form and the other half walked with the witches ready to shift at moment’s notice. They were just all waiting on Felan’s s
Translation…Johnathan woke up in a dark cave and rubbed his head. It took him a minute to remember what had happened. He looked at his phone and realized it was too early to be this dark in the cave. He turned on his flashlight and that is when he realized he was sealed in the cave. He smiled and laughed because they had sealed him in with the scrolls. “Stupid fools.” He said. He checked his phone and realized he still had a signal barely, but it would be enough. He sent a quick message to his people that read ‘sealed inside cave. Translate scrolls and get back to me. Radio silence until then.’He could use his magic to restore his phone’s battery, but without food and water to restore his strength, he would grow weak quicker. He knew he should have set up camp inside the cave, but he felt it was too risky. He was trying not to put the wolves on alert, if someone came wandering in. He would conserve his strength and energy for as long as he could. He didn’t know how long he was going
