"It would be a simple matter for me to pop down, heal her, and whizz back up, nobody would even see me, so I really don't see a problem."
Zeus sat on his throne, trying to mitigate between two of his subjects. Nefele was always doing things that caused serious problems for the humans but nothing so bad that she was ever bought before him, until now. Selene stood tight-lipped next to her, tapping a slender foot on the ground as the weather Goddess defended herself against the allegations. Things were not going well.
When he rose from slumber this morning, he had had no idea that this matter would take up his entire day. Now he was wishing he had just stayed in bed. The fact that he had a headache was entirely the fault of the two ladies before him, and Zeus found his patience wearing thin.
"That's enough!" The wise God bellowed, " Nefele you know better than to mess around with the humans, but I turn a blind eye because they are so low on the food chain that chan
Neville exited the cave with Adrastus and tried to ignore his wolf,'What the fuck Neville? There are two of us sharing this body remember? When did you decide to kill us without asking me if I'm okay with it?"Abner was not in a good mood with his human and he wasn't shy about it, but it didn't sit well with him when Neville continued grimly forward ignoring his growls snd protests. Normally Neville was an easy-going, sensible human, he made sure to keep safe, eat three meals a day, and exercise regularly, he wasn't a risk-taker and didn't ruffle feathers which were all perfectly fine with his wolf. But not today, no today Neville decided to answer the Alpha's call himself and drive to New York to pick up a patient instead of delegating the task to a lower-ranked wolf, it'll be funhe saidwe will have a great timehe said,well Neville, being in a flying car trapped in the claws of a dragon
The mated wolves spared one last glance at their women and children before they stepped into formation. Younger, single wolves had already left for the Dragons mountain in the first wave of warriors, and Zade waited impatiently for everyone to say their goodbyes before they started on their trek. The fire mountains were at least a three-day journey on foot, two if they all phased, but the Alpha had forbidden it. They needed to turn up for April and Todd's retrieval mission having conserved as much energy as possible. Not all of the pack was thrilled with the decision to attack the dragons, and it was with unusual empathy that Zade had left those pack members behind to protect the women and children. The air was rife with nerves but all Zade and Chase could feel was impatience at the length of time his seasoned warriors were taking."Hurry up!" He finally yelled and the lingering goodbyes were cut off as the last wolf moved into place, Zade took his own place at the head of th
Celine was coming home today, and despite his melancholy mood, Kevin was happy that they could finally live under the same roof again. The band had been reluctantly auditioning for a new singer, but no matter what they did, sales continued to full steadily and if they didn't start making new music soon, everything they'd worked so hard on would disappear, leaving them out of work, and out of pocket. But replacing April was hard.He tugged on his tie, loosening the stranglehold it had on his throat while he shrugged off his jacket, leaving it wherever it landed. April's funeral this morning was a surprisingly small affair, it was held in a confidential location and the Judge had granted a full media gag so no fans would turn up, and only the bandmates and her close friends could attend. No one knew what to say as the casket was lowered, and Kevin couldn't find the words to bring them all together, so in the end, after the service, they had all gone in separate directions, and
April lay sleeping peacefully in a huge bed, surrounded by people who cared about her and watched over protectively by a huge man with strikingly pale eyes. "I see you witch." His deep voice rumbled but the man never took his eyes off her sleeping friend. Walking further into the cave Celine noticed that there were others there as well. A healer woman hummed something in the old tongue as she moved her hands above April's body spreading white light whenever they passed over her throat and chest area. Next to her stood a tall slender man who appeared to be taking vitals and further along the wall, with one of his legs chained to the ground sat a third man, with his eyes closed.Celine turned as the giant man spoke again, "We are meeting here in the dream plane because April needs her friends to lend her their strength to heal faster, so tell me witch will you help her? Will your mate help her? His berserker strength and your witch power will aid greatly in April's
The last thing Kevin expected to see when he woke up, was his wife dancing around the cave with her hairbrush, belting out 'Uptown funk', but that's exactly what happened. He had no idea what happened to the rest of the people who were there but they were gone now, and there were only three people left in the room, Celine, Kevin...and April, still sleeping in the huge bed that took up most of the floor space. Her skin was almost flawless, the last of the bruising to her face was fading and she looked so peaceful. "I don't understand..." Kevin muttered to himself, but with ears like a bat, Celine turned around, and when she spotted him awake, his pint-sized dynamo launched herself at him. If Kevin hadn't already been sitting down, he was positive that she would have clear knocked him off his feet."Easy on lass, should you really be bouncin' around with your belly still tender and such?" But Celine just laughed and hugged him tighter. "I feel amazing Kevin, Titan had some left
Nefele watched as the wolves circled the bottom of the mountains. She was ordered by Zeus not to interfere but no one said that she wasn't allowed to watch how this whole thing played out, so here she was, staring into the waters of fate."Make a little room sister." A quiet voice said from behind her, and moments later Selene sat down as well, looking on with a frown."Typhon is angry with you too you know," Selene murmured, biting into an apple as she waited for the fight to begin, and Nefele just shrugged, choosing to remain silent. Typhon was a solitary God, preferring to keep to himself in the lakes of Mount Olympus as he watched over all of his monsters. Dragons were under his protection and guidance, which meant that Adrastus was his creation and the prophecy concerning April had been written by Typhon himself. As such it was no wonder that Nefele wasn't in his good books right now."I understand why you saved April," Selene admitted, watching the water a
Celine entered the chamber like a hectic tornado, causing Kevin to jump and Todd to startle from his awkward nap on the floor. "What the hell is going on?" Neville cursed from April's bedside."The Gods are walking the earth and we don't have much time," Celine answered, flicking her wrist to remove Todd's shackles and turning to her husband. "Your time to think is over Kevin, either you accept me, and all of the other supernaturals you're surrounded by, yes that's right, these three are werewolves," Celine muttered impatiently, "Or you walk away and get off this mountain while you still can."Todd scrambled to his feet as Kevin stood overwhelmed and rushed over to April's side, "What can I do to help?" He asked as he looked protectively at his friend, and Celine smiled gratefully at the Beta wolf."We need to wake April up before it's too late."Neville called to Titan, and she materialized in front of him already holding a tincture she had prepared, "Th
"Where is my mate?" Chase asked, ignoring the slap to his human face as he scented the air around April, but Fleetfoots unique scent was gone. April ignored his question, shaking off her friends' support as she stepped right up to him."Why are you doing this? You rejected me Zade,yourejectedme. You shattered my heart and left me laying there broken in the rain. My friend would never have done that, mymatewould have accepted me, whatever you're doing here is wrong,pleasejust walk away and let me be happy." April finished in a whisper. Zade looked deeply into her eyes, and his gaze flickered from him to his wolf as they both struggled for control. Finally, the wolf conceded, allowing Zade to come through."I'm sorry April, I'm sorry for a lot of things, I'm sorry for listening to my father and bowing down to his will, I'm sorry for the pain that I caused you, and I'm sorry that it took me so l
