*Meadow*I have no idea where I gather the energy to pull Raziel further away from the chaos, but I manage to do this as I watch Ignitious cut a part of Caleb's side. I gasp, but I quickly notice is only a superficial wound, so I do not worry about it too much, as he quickly moves to strike again. Zareen brings both Ebony and Ivory towards us, and I see them in bad condition, but healing as slowly as Raziel does.I make sure all three of them are not bleeding anymore when I hear a strange chanting that pulls my attention. I look to the left and not far from us there is a necromancer who looks at Caleb and Ignitious fight. His chants are aimed at them, and I fear it is trying to cause something on my love.I can't let that happen, I had enough of playing it safe. This is not a place to hesitate, so I close my eyes and merge with my wolf, letting all my primal nature take over. I shudder briefly as the shift finishes, then I launch myself with anger towards the vicious creature that a
*Caleb*I hold Meadow's hand firmly, trying not to let my nerves merge with hers as she tries just as hard not to let her pain and own fears reach me.She is so brave, her face contorts but she doesn't cry or scream. The nurses are doing a great job as well, as they assist her and the babies as they come. The first one was Ian, the boy did not stop crying or throwing fists here and there. As soon as he was out, his brother Xavier followed. It took us a long time to decide their names, and so we settled with my father's names on each. Our last baby is coming now, our baby princess is a little bit late, and has her mother worried."The head is now out, please push Luna, a long one," Says one of the nurses.Meadow squeezes my hand and I kiss her forehead. 'You are so strong… you are amazing my love,' I whisper to her.I see the other nurse pulling our baby out, slowly and gently, and then we hear her cry. I smile and feel a tear slip down from my eye. I can't help but feel overjoyed.
VOLUME 3: SIMPLY ETERNAL*Meadow*I stand up and head to the door; I am not happy, but I won't lose my temper with these other ladies. I only nod my head to Caliope before I leave, as my respect for her has never diminished, only grown. Raziel follows me closely. As soon as I am out of the building, his face reflects his worries, but for the first time, I don't care.We get into the car and he sits next to me in silence. "To the residence, please," I politely order Maxwell, my bodyguard, who happens to be an Angel."I take it you didn't reach an agreement," Raziel finally speaks out. He is not happy either, but I have made a decision.I nod. "No, we haven't. I understand is not easy to get a room full of women to agree on something so important, much less when it comes to women who belong to different races. But I am not going to let my children be raised in a school full of distrust and mothers with a temper," I sigh and look at Maxwell through the mirror, he is chuckling in
*Solveig*I feel a tight pain in my chest. Xav and Ian are watching the news while Cara shows some concern. She tries to look like there is nothing to worry, but I can't dismiss the fact that there is a tight pain in my chest."Sis, look!" Ian calls my attention. "Mom is there, she is fine, see?" He points at the TV.I nod. Watching mom between other people over there makes me feel scared, but relieved that they are ok. "Is Carl at the Command Center?" Xav asks Cara."He is there with Agape and Gideon. They are restructuring the defenses," She answers."I am going to go there and keep an eye on things. I can't stay here doing nothing," Xav says and stands up, I look at him worriedly. He comes to me and kneels in front of me, taking my hands in his. "Everything is going to be ok Sol, no one tried to attack any of the races directly in their territory…"I sigh. "Yet…"Xav shakes his head. "You do know we have the largest surveillance system in the world, right?" He says with a g
*Caleb*I am angry, so close to being furious about whatever is out there that we don't know or understand. Meadow is quiet as she sits next to me, and her thoughts are just as conflictive."I extended my powers as far as possible; everything was uncorrupted. I don't think the dark Angels had anything to do with it... their aura signature trace is completely absent," Amra reveals to us.I nod, taking Meadow's hand in mine. "So we can discard the obvious enemies but we are left with no other options..." I add.Caly sits in front of us and Amra gets closer, she sighs as he rests a hand on her shoulder. "If Amra can't feel anything, I am clueless to what or who can it be..." She says with frustration.Meadow nods. "Well, let's see... the previous attacks have been in minor scales, we had a lot of damage, but the one thing they all have in common is that they leave no physical or spiritual trace. What can cause destruction and no trace? I am afraid to assume anything but at this point
*Solveig*"It is ok, Ebony. I am really quite safe," I repeat to one of my Guardian Angels. I chuckle when I see the look of the pack teens, they drool over both of them and I feel the jealousy. It is fun to hear their thoughts too."I was ordered to protect you, and I can do it from far, like my brother, but they are fun to watch..." He says and smirks. I can't help but laugh."Of course, you enjoy watching, don't you..." I say and hear him laugh. He is taller than me by two heads, and handsome in his dark beauty. "I am just saying... that if you have better things to do, like guarding other humans or anything...""Our sole purpose is to guard you, princess. We vowed to do this a long time ago, to your mother," Says Ivory, who surprises me with his appearance.I look at him as he walks to his brother and sits next to him. "My mother? She made you promise to take care of me?" I ask genuinely curious.Ebony shakes his head and frowns to his brother. "A bit more complicated than th
*Meadow*I keep my mind focused; I am here to see mom and that is all I am going to think of. I walk between the old graves and I find my mom's where I kneel and sigh. "Hi, mom…"It has been quite disturbing; not knowing what is threatening us only makes our lives more difficult. As if finding some sort of balance with humans wasn't hard enough. To have my children so far and it makes me homesick; only Caleb's love keeps my sanity. My phone rings for the third time, I check again and, just as before, I see Caly trying to reach me. I will call her back when I am done, my mother is right now my priority.I caress the stone and pick up the dead flowers. I put them in a bag and replace them with the new bouquet I brought with me. There is a sadness in me and I can finally let some tears run down my face, this is the only place I am able to be me and not the Luna of the Wolves. I start to feel a tight pain in my chest and I sit on the grass. I am surprised that my pain is so great.
*Meadow*I start to recover some consciousness and I stretch my arms. I end up touching a wall and it's cold. I hear whispers and my mind focuses. My wolf is alert and tense."Meadow? Are you waking up?" I hear Caly's voice.Caly, I heard her before I fainted. And I fainted when I was visiting my mother. Now I remember, Lucifer was there. My eyes snap open and I sit quickly. I don't recognize where I am, but I meet Caly's worried eyes. "What happened?"She sighs and nods at me. Only then I look around and see Amra, serious and distant, as well as Lucifer. I gasp; he is trapped in some sort of entanglement and this has embraced him tightly. Caly's voice brings my attention back to her. "I was trying to reach to you… Amra felt you were in danger… We couldn't find you! He had to use a lot of his powers to find you…"I sigh and shake my head, Lucifer has his eyes closed and is stone still, but I feel he is aware of what we are talking about. "I needed time and space… I was visiting
