KiariaBefore I could take down these rogues, I had to do something about the cameras the SWAT team were setting up. Selene said if I willed it, it will happen. I just needed to focus and focus I did. I wanted the cameras to go Poltergeist on the police.I searched the utility room for something to hit them in the head with. These were wolves... and the stick at the end of a mop wasn't going to do any damage.There was some sort of locker type closet at the end of the room. If there were tools, that's probably where the cleaning staff would stash them. I was in luck. It was unlocked and stored inside were wrenches. I took the biggest heavy duty pipe wrench, hoping it would serve as a weapon.I had to think of a way to separate the two rogues. I decided to make the door creak. It worked. "Check that out, will yah," said one. I decided to name him Rogue Two. "It's probably the police. Remember kill them all."Alert the others if I don't come back," said the other which I named Rogue On
IoKiaria had powers and even as a beginner her strength was immense.She walked past the yellow tape, all the way to the building like no one even saw her. I thought I was going to die from a panic attack if it weren't for my wolf telling me Selene said there was nothing to worry about. If Kiaria willed it, it would happen.Then after an hour, I saw Kiaria and Winston come out of the building. I was so relieved nothing had happened to her. I had thought she had completed her quest and would walk back to where she left me and Marcus, but she waved at her father and gestured to call someone before going back inside the bank through the main entrance while her father was escorted into a dark van parked infront of his building.I wanted to rip the heads of the police officers for just standing around, obviously doing nothing to take down the thieves. When a sudden noise of glass shattering into pieces was heard, the police officer, who was in charge of keeping the people back, ducked and
KiaraAfter the police took our statements, they allowed us to go home. They praised my father for his quick thinking and calm resolve while I was asked to join therapy sessions for post-traumatic stress disorder after being held hostage. Since I was bothered by that one rogue's untimely death, I toyed with the idea that I should go see a therapist.However, Selene argued I shouldn't feel guilty... that it was either him or my father. While I was waiting for my father to sign some documents for the police, I took a moment to imagine a different scenario, one where my dad was dead and the rogue wolf was alive. I wouldn't be here at the police station. Instead, I would be at a funeral home making arrangements while my mother would be seated in the car waiting for me, catatonic, broken and distraught. After burying my father, my mother would struggle to move on while I would live a life full of regret, constantly blaming myself for not doing what had to be done. My wolf was right. There
IoMy mother's eyes flickered with fear the moment she heard Magnus' name. "Those thieves were Magnus' men?" My father asked. "Io, are you sure he isn't already here?"I don't think so, Father. The High Elder would have said something to me," I answered. "But it is possible that he might be here. It could be the reason why the High Elder is flying out here tonight," my father said, his distress obvious in his voice. Even Kiaria began to look concerned."Father, let's calm down. We will know when the High Elder arrives," I said, looking at the wall clock. "He will be here soon.""Who is Magnus? I think I have the right to know if I'm right in assuming he was the one who killed my biological parents," Kiaria said with so much conviction, I decided it was time to tell her what I knew.I took her hand in mine, hoping to give her some comfort. "When a wolf is banished from his or her pack, he or she is called a rogue. Magnus, is the second son of a powerful Alpha, whose territory is situ
CelesteIt was the night of the Autumn Equinox. The Harvest Moon was starting to rise in the clear dark sky. Everyone in the territory was preparing for tomorrow's Autumn Equinox celebration known as Mabon. I, myself, was supposed to be preparing for the Harvest Moon dinner but I was having contractions. I had thought it was Braxton Hicks contractions, but these contractions were bearing down on me within regular periods."It's too soon, Emma. She can't be coming yet. It's too soon." I started doing my breathing exercises so I could keep calm. I was two weeks shy of being seven months pregnant, so my shock when I began going into labor.Emma, my handmaiden helped me into my favorite rocking chair. She brought the matching foot stool and placed my feet on top of it. It was bliss."Luna Celeste, I have asked Beta Daniel to call on the pack doctor. She will be here any minute now. For now, just breathe like we practiced, ok? Tell me when another contraction comes so I can see how far apa
Magnus"Stop destroying the contents of this house. I am planning to loot all their valuables and bring it to my estate." These witches have no idea how priceless most of the things are inside this house. High Priestess Celeste and her mate Alpha Blake have amassed a great deal of wealth over the years, profiting from Celeste's magic. She had asked for jewels, gold and rare gems from pack's who required her of her services. Many items in this mansion were antiques, precious heirlooms, given to her as payment for her protection charm. I wanted everything in this house, especially the contents of their vault."Magnus, you must be joking. You said we could destroy anything we wanted. And I for one, would love to destroy everything in this house as well as the mansion itself." Lilith picked up a ceramic vase and dropped it on the floor. The vase shattered into many small pieces. I shook my head. What a waste."My dear, Lilith, all these things I can sell so I can buy you all those trinkets
CelesteI descended the grand staircase slowly, taking each step one at a time. I grabbed the banister for support as I placed one foot in front of the other, wincing in pain. I could hear voices coming from the parlor on the ground floor as well as the sound of ceramics breaking as they hit the floor. These dark witches didn't know how valuable those things were to other wolves. Clearly, they had no respect for other people's things."Where is she? If she isn't here, she must have escaped!" I heard Lilith speak. She was once my bestfriend until her jealousy tore us apart. Blake and I were fated mates, a mating blessed by the Moon Goddess herself. Lilith unfortunately believed she was Blake's fated mate and not I. So, she did the despicable. She disguised herself as me and paraded herself naked in front of Blake who was drunk after celebrating our alliances.They say your life flashes before your eyes just before you die and it is true...all the good memories and all the people you lov
Magnus"Painful for us to watch, painful for you to feel." I laughed at Celeste, who was writhing in pain, the mate bond broken from Blake's death. She blew him a kiss, how touching. Why didn't she save him so she could heal him? Honestly, she looked sick. Maybe pregnancy was taking a toll on her."Magnus, we agreed I would have Blake!" Lilith whispered to me in a deep voice. " You gave me your word." I grabbed her by her arm and twisted it. She yelped in pain. I pulled her towards me so she could smell my horrid breath."Blake doesn't love you and he will never love you even if Celeste is gone from this Earth. Why would he settle for someone ugly and used? He will find someone prettier and fresh. I am doing you a favor."I saw her eyes glaze over for a second, a clear sign someone was communicating with her. It must be the girls telling her to walk away. "How would you know? You have never experienced love. Not all wolves are like you, Magnus." Lilith pulled away from me so I let he
