Phoenix
Leaving Violet when things still seem unknown is absolute torture. On top of that, she just marked me. Like… she literally just marked me. All I want is to stay with her, to mark her as mine and to know that I don’t have to worry about her leaving ever again.
The fact that she is off in the spirit world terrifies me.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to have such a kick ass mate. She is absolutely phenomenal and didn’t even seem scared of this endeavor. That should make me feel better, but it doesn’t.
Charlie is on my heels as we walk down the main staircase where I see Carol’s body on the ground, her blood staining the white tile floors. Bile rises in my throat, I glance back at Charlie to see that he has paled a little at the sight of her. But the
VioletWe finally made it across the bridge. It felt like we stayed over those starry waters for a lifetime and I am so grateful to be on the other side. The temptation to jump in the water got overwhelming at times. But my wolf, Selene, helped push me forward. She reminded me of the people following behind me and how I am meant to be a shepherd. I cannot fail them.Now that we’ve made it across, we come to another stop in our journey. There is a wall made up of clouds in front of us. I frown as I stare up at this wall, a small part of me feels like it has to be some kind of trap and that it’s set up to trick me, but… where else am I supposed to go? How else am I going to lead these people?Selene doesn’t feel nervous, she feels at peace. But I hate how she doesn’t talk to me and guide me through these conflicting feelings I have.I breathe out, knowing that I need to do this. I look to the first person in the line and I link my arm with them. I look to the line behind us and I say, “
VioletEach interaction the moon goddess, Selene, has is more magical than the last. It’s incredible and my wolf seems to hum with happiness just being in the presence of this. All of these spirits are gaining healing as they ascend into eternal peace.If I didn’t have a mate and a family back on Earth then I would want to join them. But it is not my time yet, I am just here as a shepherd.I was so caught up in the beauty of everything that I didn’t even realize I was on the last person until Henry took my arm. He doesn’t greet me with a smile like the rest of the spirits did, instead he looks… upset.I frown, but do what I’m supposed to do and lead him across the cloud wall until we’re in front of the goddess. Henr
MagnoliaBeatrix woke up shortly after Phoenix called for Phillip Everest. She was incredibly disoriented, she wanted her brother to help her, it’s like she completely forgot what she had done. I know that the hit she took to the head was hard and I couldn’t help but feel a little bad for her as Phoenix turned his head away from her and refused to acknowledge her.When Phillip came into the room Phoenix asked him to take Beatrix away and put her in the pack hospital. He ordered that she be put in a secure room so she could not escape and asked that she be put in a medically induced sleep. He knew she needed rest, but couldn’t deal with the aftermath of her healing right now.When Phillip was done with Beatrix he came back and Phoenix told him about my family coming. He told them that the Renegade Pack comes in peace and to let them through and to welcome them. That I would handle anything and inform him if the Renegade Pack had any needs.Phillip does as he was told to do. He seems li
VioletI do as the goddess told me to do and I rush out, determined to make it back home in time. Based on the sympathetic look that she gave me, I don’t think that I have much time left.I run out onto the bridge and although the longing to dive in seems even stronger this time I do my best to ignore it. But it’s like it whispers to me, I have no followers, no one to stop me, I could jump in and forget all my worries forever.My wolf, Selene, is the only one to keep me sane, she tells me not to jump. She reminds me of who we have at home waiting for us. And for awhile, I’m able to listen to her.At some point as I run, I notice the boards beneath my feet seem more unstable, they feel wobbly. They’ve felt solid this entire time, what’s changed?I have to move slower so that I won’t fall through. I still have at least 100 feet in front of me to get back to the staircase. I look at the bridge, I cannot fall through, but I don’t have time to waste. I can’t go slow and be careful.With t
Violet I was dead. I know that I was dead. I stopped breathing, that starry water drowned me. I saw the moon goddess look at me with sympathy because I didn’t make it. My wolf walked over and sat by her side. The moon goddess placed a hand on my wolf’s head and smiled at it, a spark lit up between them and I realized in that moment that my wolf was named Selene because she truly is a part of the moon goddess Selene. I have so many questions swirling in my mind, that I was unable to ask because out of nowhere, it’s like I was given a lifeline. I saw it, a bright yellow rope, a tether to bring me back home. I grasped onto it, holding tight until I was brought back to life. When I was thrusted back into my earthly form, I notice an intense stinging in my neck. I hiss and try to gasp for air, needing to feel it’s relief flow through me, but instead, I immediately throw up. I cough up this midnight blue water, tears sting my eyes from my violent heaving as that evil starry water gets e
Magnolia Charlie and I leave Phoenix and Violet. We’re all tired, but Violet went through a near-death experience and deserves rest more than any of us do. We can talk about new plans and what’s to come tomorrow. We go find Phillip so that he can show us a room. Apparently, my dad brought so many people that there was only one room left that was available, but that’s fine. Truly, it doesn’t matter, Charlie is like my little brother. We get into the room and immediately, I collapse in a seat and kick my feet up. I tilt my head back, looking toward the ceiling wondering what’s going to happen now. Knowing that Henry’s spirit is back on this world is almost too much for me to bear. I want to go find him, now. But… it’s going to be different. He’ll be a different person, he won’t remember me. Yes, it will still be his spirit, but… I don’t know. The whole thing feels so complicated. I breathe out and tell Charlie, “I’m not going to take the Female Alpha position.” I can feel his e
Violet Phoenix and I couldn’t have slept for more than an hour when he woke me up as he jerked awake. I had been lying on his chest, but he moves to sit up so I move off of him with my eyebrows furrowed as I ask, “What’s going on?” He breathes out, shakes his head softly, his dark brown hair rustles in front of his eyes from the motion and he says, “Apparently our guests are causing quite the commotion.” I frown and he moves out of bed so I instantly follow. We had fallen asleep in the nude so now we both rush to throw on some clothes before running out the door. The moment we walk in the hall we can hear the faint sound of yelling. Phoenix grumbles as he quickens his pace toward the soul room with me right on his heels. If the door had been shut then no one would’ve heard my family because this room is sound proofed, but of course, it had been left open for their voices to echo down the hall. I can hear Charlie’s voice, clearly upset as he raises his voice, “I can’t be there wit
Violet It’s been two weeks since Xavier Black died and Phoenix and I took over the pack. Today, we will have an official ceremony to unite our pack together especially because now we have so many new members that transferred over from the Renegade Pack. So much has happened in such a short period of time. The day after I came back from guiding the souls, we found Phoenix’s mom, Katy. Katy, my mom, and my dad all knew each other from way back in the day before I was born. From what my mom told me, Katy was purchased from the Academy by Xavier. Eventually, mom and dad freed her from Xavier’s hold, but unbeknownst to them, Xavier still went and visited her at night and threatened her if she were to tell anyone. Katy was pregnant and no one knew when the Moon Stone Pack had been attacked. Xavier found her, could sense the life inside her and kept her alive to have his children. After that, he kept her in captivity, using her as a pawn to make his children do his bidding. Katy was w
