*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
*Solveig*I feel a big smile crawl up to my cheeks as I sense Seth behind the door. He then knocks on it and I wait a few seconds before opening it. "Good morning," I say softly.He looks at me with a smile that makes me blush. "Good morning indeed. How are you?" He asks as he stands close to me, but far at the same time."I am good, excited even. Were you heading to the Command Center?" I ask as I grab a scarf and put it around me."I thought it would be good to come and walk you there... if that is ok with you…" He says as he shows me his arm to grab.I smile and wrap my arm around his, feeling my cheeks reddening more. "It would be nice, thank you…"The gesture makes me smile, it warms my heart. He is more than what I imagined he could be, so aware of my feelings and so sure of himself. I like getting to know him, it is going to be exciting to know him more.* ~~~~~~~ **** ~~~~~~~ * *Meadow*I am tense, and Caleb is not happy. We barely slept as we thought about all
*Solveig*As I walk along with mom and dad, we watch as Xavier hugs his mates tenderly in the distance. Uncle Gideon and Aunt Agape are holding each other as they watch as well. It was a match that surprised us all, and one made with such perfection. I might have teased him with it before, but his personality and character needed two mates to be tamed. And the three of them look so happy.We reach Seth and his parents. "I hope you are comfortable here, I know it is different than where you come from," My mother says as she gives them a hug.Caliope nods and smiles. "We are, you managed to create a fantastic paradise here, Caleb. This is a beautiful combination of civilization and nature.""Thank you, we managed to keep working on improvements with the least effect to the environment, and it was a work that my father started, I just managed to continue with his legacy," My father answers as he stands proudly. Dad was always sentimental about our ancestors.Seth keeps calm, and I
*Xavier*I walk towards the Command Center still a bit surprised to hear father's call, especially this late at night. As I arrive at the door, I also sense others inside and I rush to get in. I mind link to Carl to see where he is, he soon answers me that he is on his way.My view settles into the conference room, where father is talking to uncle Alex and aunt Cara. I go into the room and hear them as I take a seat."So the other races agreed on a common peace, especially since there hasn't been any other attacks or events happening for a while. They think that you leaving here has something to do with it…" says uncle Alex and then pauses, looking at aunt before continuing. "The Fallen Angel's representative; Taylar, she has voiced her disagreement to that thought… so apparently she, or they, are on our side.Father nods at me first then nods at uncle Alex. "Foolish of them, as always. They can't think of anything bigger than themselves," He sighs and looks at me. "You see why I
*Solveig*I feel something. After a long time of numbness, I can finally feel something. I feel warmth, and also my body. I try to focus, but I still feel like I am waking up from a dream."She will be fine, don't worry," I hear a voice but can't recognize it. I might be too tired to. I really want to know where I am, what is happening, who are they. But I am just too tired. So I fade away again.'Sol, baby… can you hear me?' I feel someone tap into my mind, and again I feel tired but aware of myself. But once more, I am not strong enough and lose consciousness.I think I drifted from time to time between this world and some other, but everything was very confusing. Sometimes I would hear voices, other times I would just feel someone near me. But I just couldn't wake up yet.Now I feel myself slowly getting back to consciousness, and this time I feel more; my legs are somewhat numb, my body is tired, but I am here. I feel movement, someone is with me. Hands caress my head and I
*Solveig*How fragile we are. Compared to these colossal creatures, we are a tiny grain of salt. How are we going to win a battle against something so powerful? I keep asking myself this over and over again, and I keep finding no answer to it.I have been resting most of the past two days since I woke up, and we are preparing to move to a new location. I am confident on what my mother and father think is best, and if what the Angels say is true, then we are the magnets for the next attacks. So moving far from our people and other races is going to be a good way to prevent more casualties or damages.The Council was invited to come, and most of them refused to. Dad was not surprised when the Fire, Earth and Wind Elementals, together with the Fallen and Dark Angels decided to come. Water Elementals are more pacific and avoid any kind of confrontations, just like the Wind ones, but Aeolus was emotionally invested, having his daughter helping Aeneas who was the first volunteer. The my
*Caleb*I am enjoying my small-time relaxing as I caress Meadow's arm while we relax next to one of the waterfalls; we had an intense morning with meetings, and after lunch, this was more than needed. Meadow has been nervous for a few days, and so have I, but I know I need to show her how strong we can be.Aeneas was very surprised to see, thanks to Caliope, everything that we went through. He has been quiet and has tried to come up with solutions. But it is hard to come up with a solution against something so intense and immense.We really are not so sure of how we are going to win this battle, we just know that staying together is what will bring us an advantage.My children are the most important for me, and also, what makes me proudest. I can't afford to lose them... Honestly, if I lose them, I will die. I know Meadow will die as well, so we have to fight for this."Mister King of the Werewolves... what keeps your mind so busy?" Aeneas interrupts my thoughts and I laugh.Me
