Ty found himself on the patio overlooking the lake, deep in thought.
Hand over the girl or your pack will be destroyed. The words echoed in his mind. There’s no way I would ever give her to him. I would die first. I need to find a way to protect her and the pack. Ty felt a soft hand on his shoulder and his body began to relax. He turned around to see Azura’s beautiful big eyes staring into his. She knew he was worried about something, she could sense his aura. “What&Just as she said, she snuck into the house and went straight to Regina’s office. She could still smell the herbs and spices Eleanor had used the other day. What would she need an oracle for? She started going through Regina’s papers that lay on top of her desk. Not finding what she sought, she went through her drawers. When she opened the second one, she was overwhelmed by the smell of her daughter. She searched through papers and at the very bottom she found one doused in blood. Her hands began to tremble as she pulled it out, she could smell that this was her daughter’s blood.
Azura had always been extremely good at sneaking around undetected. She was able to make it over the wall without any of the guards noticing. She didn’t know where Leus’s pack was, but she was a great tracker and it didn’t take her long to find the trail his scouts left behind. She had taken the equipment that her and Regina used to train in a bag strapped across her shoulder. Her hair was held back in one big braid down the center. She wore her black pants that had a few rips on the thighs and a long-sleeve green plaid button-up shirt. Her black boots were strapped up to her shins. She had found a new dagger to hide in her boot and adjusted it s
Azura had tracked for quite some time until she picked up the scent of smoke. She noticed that the forest looked more diseased as she continued on. There were no green bushes or shrubbery or flowers and the trees were bare. They either had dead leaves or lacked leaves at all. It seemed like everything was dying. She could tell she was getting close. She knew there would be scouts in the area and probably guards, the way they had them at Silver Moon with regular patrols. She decided to get an aerial view and climbed up a large hollow tree. It was effortless because she could prod her fingers or poke her foot into it’s frail body to climb up
“Then it’s settled, we can reach Black Water Pack by sunset if we leave now,” Nicolas said to Regina. There was whistling coming from the gates as the horses came trodding in. Regina and Nicolas ran to catch them. Regina spotted Derek’s note addressed to Alice. She opened it.My dearest love,We are going to fight Black Water Pack, but there is a chance I will not return to you and I just need you to know I love you and I am doing this for your future and the future of our child.Your love,DerekShe looked to Nicolas. “You need to leave now,” she commanded. He nodded in agre
Nicolas lead the warriors down a path through the forest, following track marks left behind by Ty and the others. They had reached a fork in the road when one of the warriors stepped onto a soft bed of dirt. Nicolas raised a closed fist and motion the others to stop dead in their tracks. They heard a small creak when the ground gave way and three of the warriors fell into a deep hole. Two of the men were pierced with sharp sticks that stuck out of the ground. They howled in agonizing pain. The third was able to leap out of the hole mid-shift. They were ambushed as many of the guards emerged from behind trees, rocks, or small hills and others were
Just as they were about to head up the stairs, there was enormous boulder that crashed threw the hall way. Pieces of wood went flying in all directions and part of the floor collapsed. The group piled into the cramped staircase and headed up to the attic. Another boulder came crashing in, taking out another part of the floor. They hurried out the small window onto the roof. They were severely outnumbered as arrows shot at them in every directions. They stayed shielded by the window momentarily, unsure of their next move, when another boulder came crashing through the first floor. The roof collapsed and sent them stumbling down.
Regina paced back and forth in her office. “Regina please, everything will be fine. My apparitions are never wrong,” Eleanor said trying to calm her. “No offense, Eleanor, but your apparitions are also very vague,” she barked back. “How do I know my son won’t come home to me in pieces…or at all for that matter!” she said clearly anxious. “I need to go help. I can feel it in the pit of my stomach, I need to be there,” she said. “And who will be here?” Eleanor questioned. Regina let out a deep sigh, “I’ll le
It had been raining now, for three days straight. Azura had not awaken yet, but Ty slept with her every night. She was placed in her room and James visited her everyday to check the stones. Still a faint blue the stones remained. She had healed herself on the first night, but Regina suggested that it must have taken a grand amount of energy to bring the land back to life and so she might just need extra rest. Ty tried to keep himself busy by going out with the Hunters or taking care of pack business, but when he laid down with her at night, he could hear her steady heartbeat and serene breathing. It calmed him somewhat to think his mother was most likely correct and Azura was just resting, but
