*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
"Can you tell me why, again, we celebrate Halloween? Isn't it an overused and completely non-logical celebration to practice?" The mechanical voice of Kade communicated, and Viorra giggled in response."Because… it is fun, and the Angels don't mind, right?" She said and Ebony and Ivory chuckled nodding. "See? We put on clothes and funny outfits and just relax and have fun!" She smiled and then finally walked out of the bathroom.Kade's eyes widened, he saw her wearing a tight nurse costume with white stockings and high heels, she had a mischievous smirk and her eyes sparkled. He swallowed hard and walked to her, his outfit simple; a pirate with an eye patch. He kissed her and made her shiver as he lifted her up and spun her around. 'Ok, I will go along with this, just because I am going to take it out of you soon…' He whispered to her mind and she blushed deeply.Ebony rolled his eyes and headed to the door. "Come on, you two. Sol wanted us to make sure everyone makes it to the Hall
*Ian*I woke this morning feeling the same way I felt yesterday, and this has been recurring for a very long time. I feel like someone is watching me, observing my every move, and it is making me paranoid. Am I losing my mind?After a shower, I read my emails and then the news. I get some breakfast and I sigh as I rub my eyes. I might need to take a nap after my daily stroll.Suddenly Sol knocks on my door and I feel her frustration. Why didn't I feel her before? The lack of sleep is affecting me. I rush to open for her and she walks in frowning. "Ok, cut it off… what the hell is going on with you?"I blink in surprise; she is not the kind of girl who will treat me badly or be angry like this. "What do you mean? What's going on?"She frowns even more. "I want to know what is going on as well… I had nightmares last night, again! And all because of you! I keep feeling you are under some kind of stress but you are not telling us! And believe it or not, we are siblings, and I feel i
*Solveig*Soft fingers brush my forehead and I smile. Mom was always tender and gentle with me, nothing in the universe could compare to her touch. I part my lips and barely whisper. 'Mom…'I feel her knee next to me. 'Sol, baby girl… I was so worried…' She then stands up.I open my eyes and I see her looking at the door, then back at me. Something is wrong, she is nervous. "Mom? What's wrong?" I say out loud.She holds my hand and squeezes it, but her eyes are on the door. "You better stay away… or I will break you… and that is a promise…" She says and my eyes open wide."Mother… What is happening?" I ask as I try to get up, but my head spins and I fall quickly back to the bed.She sighs and sits next to me. 'Shhh… take it slowly sweetie… you drained yourself, and that almost killed you. You have to take things slowly…'I frown. 'Please don't treat me like they did…' I answer to her before I realize I am pushing her as well.She pulls me to her arms and kisses my forehead. '
*Solveig*I can feel his eyes behind me, he is watching me closely. But right now, I am focused on checking my brother. At least, I pretend to be."Sol, I already told you I am fine. I was up and running in no time… you on the other hand… damn it, why did you have to…" He hushes as my father gives him a look.I sigh and lay back on the chair. "You know your sister did that to help, and you are up and running because of her… you should be thankful…" Dad says in a tone that doesn't leave anything behind, it is clear he is stating he wants Ian to apologize."I am sorry…" I quickly say as I don't want him to get into trouble."No, dad is right. I am sorry… I know you always take care of us, like a big sister… and we are the ones who should take care of you…" Ian adds quickly.Xavier is watching and listening closely, Dana and Zana are next to him just listening. His eyes are locked on Seth who doesn't seem to care. Ebony is looking ok as he watches us next to Ivory, Both are quiet
*Ian*I have no idea where I gather all this strength, but I run as fast as my paws let me. My wolf is furious as well, and we don't understand why. My vision blurs to the sides, but my target remains focused. As I get closer, I barely listen to my brothers and parents trying to reach me. I can't, this just doesn't make sense, nothing makes sense. As if I wasn't tortured enough already, now some fallen legendary Angel claims to be my mate.I see him; a tall and pale creature that makes my wolf howl, in response, he closes his blue eyes and lowers his head. I push myself faster to reach him, without a clue of what to do once I get there. Really, Ian, you didn't think about that, did you.My heart is aching and I feel a sadness that I don't understand. I feel anger and I want to break something apart. The other Angels are there, behind him, watching him. I can now smell him, and my wolf howls again. What is this? Why?As I break a tree and dodge another, I come to a stop in front of
