Lanie was spelled into her room. Bonnie wasn't going to risk anything! Luckily they had a lunar moon which gave Aunt Bonnie some extra power, so Lanie was not chained in silver. She was bored, Anna hadn't woken up yet, and she had read all of the books Bonnie left for her. Ellen was supposed to bring her dinner soon. Aunt Bonnies cooking wasn't great, but Axel had been cooking lately, and he was terrific in the kitchen.
Anna started to wake up! "Mmmm, what's that smell?”
“Anna? Is that you? Are you awake? Are you mad? Do you hate me?”
“Slow down, sugar. I'm still a little loopy. I could never hate you. It's my job to love and protect you.”
“Oh, Anna, I am so relieved. I've missed you so much!!”
“Shhhh, what's that smell? Fresh cut grass and coffee?”
“Knock, knock, Lanie, are you awake?”
“Axel! That food smells great!” Axel dropped the tray of food and pinned Lanie to the wall.
MATE! S
A lot had been happening the last few weeks. Axel and Liam had been working hard to train Anna and Lanie. They had come so far in just a few short weeks. Anna was already more trustworthy. Lanie felt much more assertive with the training and the poison out of their system. Maddox was returning today, and Ellen was ecstatic but terrified because they'd be going back to her pack very soon. Aunt Bonnie was preparing Ellen for what would happen once Maddox Marked her. She wouldn't be able to shift until the next full moon, but her wolf would come alive in her mind. Her wolf was currently dormant. Aunt Bonnie was also explaining to Ellen that she is now she is 18, she will start to feel her magic intensify, which will make her a target for dark witches. They will feel her power grow, and she will need to be wise not to overuse her magic and wear herself out. She will need to practice every day to get stronger. She is all good things. She gets her magic from the earth, life and love. Dark
Alpha Killian I watched as Lucy walked, basically ran from me when she figured out who I was. I never thought I made women that afraid of me. I never thought I would find someone as beautiful as Lucy, and that was my karma for being so ruthless. I had to be cruel to protect my pack. My parents had been murdered when I was only 15. I had to be fierce, evil, ruthless to ensure my pack's survival. I only targeted bad Alphas to absorb their packs, Alphas who were greedy or slept with Omegas and hurt their mates, or Alphas who challenged me not knowing what a warrior I was. I followed her to the training ground because I wanted to see what kind of Luna she would be. If she accepted me, I know she wants to, but she is afraid. She was incredible. I'd never seen a female warrior so tenacious in human form. She never gave up. Her sparring partner was easily twice her weight and a foot taller. But she was fast and smart and knew her strengths and weaknesses. It was magical watch
Lucy was desperately trying to rest before dinner. Her head was swirling with what to do. She practiced what Axel had taught her, some kung fu clear your mind trick, but it was not working, and she was feeling so agitated. She almost roared when there was a knock at the door."Come in," In walked a jaw-dropping beautiful strawberry blonde. Her dimples were adorable when she smiled! Her freckled face was perfect! She thought for a minute she might ask her what she used for face cream. Her forest green eyes were all too familiar."Hi, I'm Treena, Killians sister. He told me you are his mate."" I haven't accepted him." "Oh, I know he thinks you are going to reject him, but let me tell you why that would be a huge mistake." "I don't think I can be Luna to a pack like this one. You seem very nice, but I am just not...." Lucy trailed off, not wanting to finish her excuse. When really, she was just afraid. "Look, Lucy, I know Killian's re
LUCY I debated not coming, but Treena promised I would not regret it. I sat by the edge of the waterfall, watching as the sun began to leave the sky. I had to reject Alpha Killian. I could not be mated to such a cruel man. I had to keep it together. He was so delicious it took my breath away, but I convinced myself it was just the mate bond playing tricks on my mind. I'm a Bennet Wolf. I could have abilities he would take for granted and use to gain power. How could the moon goddess get it so wrong! Or maybe this is my punishment for killing that hiker. That day still haunts me, the blood, the fear, the anguish. I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard the sexy voice again! "Hello, Lucy." I turned to see him. He was wearing a button-down navy-coloured dress shirt tucked into dark jeans that hugged his body perfectly. I closed my eyes and took a breath. "I Lucy Bennet....." before I could finish, Killian smashed his lips onto mine. I couldn't h
Ellen POV I heard Lanie cry out in pain, and it radiated through me like I was feeling it too. I reached for Maddox but forgot he was on patrol hours away near the border. I ran down the eight flights of stairs instead of taking the elevator, hoping I was fast enough. I wasn't. Anna was in total control. I saw more fear than rage in her eyes. I went to spell Anna to sleep, but Aunt Bonnie said to let her feel her emotions. If we always stepped in, she would never learn for herself. Axel was trying to calm Anna, get her to breathe before he could touch her, but she was shot with something, and Lanie fell to the ground. The wolfsbane worked more like poison than a tranquillizer. Anna was fading. I watched as Axel watched her eyes go slack, and that's when the tether holding Axel's self-control and calm demeanour snapped. Axel lost all control killing the guard with the tranquillizer gun. Before I could even open my mouth to speak, he killed another guard, and the
Alpha Killian called a pack meeting. There was a lot that needed to be explained. Though rumours painted Alpha Killian to be ruthless and cruel, he was an understanding and patient Alpha to his pack; Maddox, his Beta and best friend since diapers, Garrett the Gamma, and Treena Killian's baby sister all helped run the pack. Alpha Killian stands in front of most of the adult pack members who lived primarily on pack territory a lot lived in the city to work or attend school. He stands tall and confident, not letting his voice waiver even with the drama and lack of sleep in the last 48 hours. "I know a lot has happened that has everyone on edge, and I am sure you all have a lot of questions. I hope to answer them all for you. First off, yes, I have found my mate. Your future Luna is Lucy Bennet, and she is currently missing. Her sister Lanie is at this moment in the pack hospital recovering from a wolfsbane injection. Axel, her mate, will be excused from any challe
Killian had been searching for two days. Her scent was all over the forest. He couldn't tell if she was just roaming around in wolf form or if she was running from him. He was ready to let Ellen do the locator spell. He just couldn't figure out how she was able to hide from him or why she'd want to. He thought they had an amazing night together. Ellen was still trying to figure out how she and Axel became linked all of a sudden. She spoke to Aunt Bonnie over the phone a few times, both coming up dry. It was unheard of for a wolf and witch to be linked, although none were twins. Ellen had tried every unlinking spell she could think of. She was out of ideas. She didn't cast the spell, so she didn't know how to undo it. Some white witch I am, she thought to herself. She decided to look into her father's side of her bloodline. Maybe there was something to it. She would have to wait until they found Lucy first because there was no way Killian would help her get into contact with
Lucy had been reading for days. Her brain was on overdrive. She could not believe what she had discovered. Lucky for Lucy's photographic memory. She had harnessed a few new powers, and she could feel herself getting stronger. Astrid made her stronger. She could feel Astrid's emotions better now. She had never been able to tap into them before, only when Astrid showed them to her. They were becoming one. A solid unit, Astrid showed her how to use her powers without wearing herself out too much. Liza was a fantastic help. She explained how vital it was to keep herself grounded—not just training her physical body but her mind too. Lucy focused on clearing out the noise the chatter her brain was constantly full of, listening to the rustling of the trees, the sound of the river, the birds, small animals in the meadow. She opened the door with her mind.Closed it with her mind. She picked up the earth, dirt and grass and dropped them into the water. It was a fantastic feeling. Power, e
