Hunter-
“Do you think maybe he got the date wrong?” I heard Brett ask.
We have been sitting in the tree for over twelve hours. I was starting to become stiff. Kyra had fallen asleep and was leaning against me. I knew she was tired, I was pretty sure she didn’t sleep at all during the night.
“I don’t know. If they don’t show soon, it gets difficult for us. Everyone is growing impatient. They are all hungry and tired and bored. This may not have been the best idea.” I told him.
“Maybe, but it had been a good idea at the time. We were lucky that we had a heads up. We knew ahead of time, but we didn’t know when they would arrive. All we can do now is wait and just hope that we don’t have to wait too much longer.” Caleb added.
“I don’t know how Kyra can sleep like this. My back is killing me.” Brett complained.
“She has been in many worst scenarios. The fact
Kyra-As soon as Hunter took off to try to head George off, I felt a blast hit me square in the chest. I was thrown back and landed flat on my back. The hit knocked the air out of me but I quickly jumped up and seen a woman walking towards me. The scowl on her face made me realize this was personal for her.I could hear fights breaking all around me and as much as I had wanted to stay near Hunter, that wasn’t really an option right now. We were probably more than fifty yards away at this point and while he was going head to head with George and a couple of other wolves, I had to deal with this witch.I watched as she threw up her hands and just in the nick of time I was able to deflect the gust of wind she threw at me, using the wind as well, mixed with a bit of my energy. The look on her face was confusion, then replaced with glee.I didn’t take the time to scrutinize her as I fired off another blast at her. It knocked her down and for a seco
Kyra-It was like my entire body was about to burst. The energy that I was pulling in was so raw and intense that I didn’t know how much more of it I could take. At the same time, I had never felt more energized, more alive in my entire life. It was like life was being breathed into me, I felt like I needed more and more of it.“Kyra! Stop!” I heard someone say.I didn’t recognize the voice, it was filled with so much pain that it was nearly impossible to know who it was coming from. I kept pulling in the energy like it was made for me. The force that had been pinning me to the tree vaporized and I was no longer being held against my will. Yet I was still off the ground like I was floating.“Kyra! You need to stop!” I heard the voice again, this time it sounded weak.I looked around and I saw everyone had dropped to their knees and were doubling over in pain, everyone except the enemy. It took a minute for our en
Hunter-In the blink of an eye, I watched as Kyra vanished from sight and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I should have kept a closer eye on her. The minute the battle began, my only objective had been to destroy George. Everything had gotten out of hand and it had been impossible to keep track of her.From the looks of things, there were way more than two hundred in the army he brought. We had probably only taken out fifty before reinforcements arrived. I hadn’t been fast enough to get to her, but the last thing I expected was for her to vanish. Without even a moment to process everything, I was tackled by a wolf and it had managed to take a chunk of flesh off my shoulder.Pushing the wolf off, I got on my feet at the same instant it lunged at me. Pulling my fist back, I slammed it into his snout and he fell to the ground. Rage boiled inside me and I felt like I was no longer in control. Straddling the wolf, I bent over to snap its neck and I loo
Kyra-“She is strong, I have given her four times the lethal dose of wolfsbane, but it doesn’t seem to be affecting her. Hopefully, your witch friend was right and those cuffs will prevent her from using her powers.” I heard a male voice say.My mind was groggy and I was struggling to remember the last thing that happened. I knew we had been in a middle of a war, but I couldn’t recall anything after when George’s wolf pinned me to the ground. I felt like I was being strung up my wrists. I could feel cold hard metal digging into my flesh and it hurt like hell.I tried not to move since I was sure that the voice I heard, wasn’t exactly a friend of mine. I tried to connect with Alexia and felt relief when I felt her.“What happened?” I asked Alexia.“I don’t remember, I feel like we were drugged. Except it doesn’t feel like the last time.”“You think it was magic?&rdq
Hunter-“Found her.” Zac spoke after what seemed like an eternity of waiting.“Where is she?” I asked.“Louisiana. I can get us near her, but there is a strong ward surrounding her location. It shouldn’t take me that long to de-spell it. But we need to go now, I have a sinking feeling that if we don’t hurry we may get to her too late. I was able to sense her, but it was a weak link.”I didn’t respond, I just placed my hand on his shoulder and prepared myself for the sickness I knew was going to come. Alec also placed his hand over mine and the next thing I knew we were standing in a Louisiana Bayou, knee-deep in the trench of water and mud. As expected, I let go of Zac and turned as bile rose to my throat and I hurled.Obviously, even with a warning, I still couldn’t stomach their form of transportation. When I stood back up, I felt a wave of dizziness hit me and I faltered slightly but ca
Kyra-“NO!” I screamed as pain so intense from anything I had ever felt hit me so hard I thought this was finally the end I have been waiting for.I felt his death before I felt the pack link be severed. Every cell in my body was on fire. It was like I was burning alive from the inside out. In one split second, I felt my soul shatter into a million pieces. Never in my life had I wanted to die as much as I did at this very moment.Nothing could have prepared me for this. In everything I had read in that blasted book, I didn’t know this would be how I would feel the minute he was taken from me. If only I had been there, I could have prevented it. I knew that without me near, he wouldn’t be able to draw from my energy. He was my Champion and I failed him.Brett, sweet Brett who like me came from nothing, only to find everything he ever dreamed of. If it wasn’t for him, I don’t know where I would be today. He had seen a par
Kyra-“Open your eyes Skittle Bear.”This time I did open my eyes and once I blinked away the tears I saw Caleb standing there covered in blood. I still wasn’t sure if it was Caleb, but I couldn’t help the way my heart from hoping it was him.“See, I am right here.” He spoke with such tenderness, fresh tears began to fall, blurring my vision once more.I hated the witch and George for what they did to me, what they are doing to me. Yet just like with Hunter, I was happy to see Caleb, even if it was a trick. At least I had been given a chance to see their faces before I die. I felt his hands move to brush away my tears.George didn’t use such tenderness when I had thought he was Hunter. Maybe he was actually showing me kindness, except I didn’t want his kindness. I just wanted him to let me die. The pain was just too much for me to handle. First, he played me with Hunter, I lost my connection to Brett
Kyra- Standing up, I looked down and seen all of my wounds had healed. I was no longer sore or stiff and I had my wolf back. Even the pain of losing Brett had dulled. I still felt it, but not nearly as bad as I had. Just to be sure, I called upon the elements and all of them surged forward with renewed strength. “What did you do?” I asked Zac. “I brought your wolf back to life.” “How is that even possible?” “When you get to be as old as I am and been around since the first coven, you pick up a few things.” “Thank you and thank you both for coming for me.” “You should have never been taken in the first place. I failed you, I am sorry.” Now I understood the guilt and remorse on his face from earlier. Stepping closer to him, I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him tightly. He didn’t respond right away, but soon I felt his arms wrap around my shoulders. His hold on me was so tight that I felt the oxygen woosh out
