Kyra-
Lurching up into a sitting position on the bed, a gasp escaped my lips. My heart felt like it was beating a hundred times fast. The dream had felt so real. I even rubbed the top of my head, feeling the phantom stings. Why had I forgotten that? Why was I remembering it now?
I had always accepted my father was tough in his training, but I didn’t recall anything like that. Maybe it wasn’t real, and it had just been a nightmare. There was no way that it had really happened. No way.
I laid back down and tried to absolve my mind from the dream. Peeking at the clock that sat on the nightstand, I moaned. It was only two o’clock in the morning. Rolling onto my side, I drifted back to sleep, slipping into another dream.
“Open your eyes child.” The strange, yet familiar voice spoke urgently.
I tried to cover my ears to block out the sound, but the voice spoke again louder this time.
“Kyra! I need you to open your eyes!” The voice said again
Hunter- After Kyra had told me about her dreams, I hadn’t been surprised that her father had deceived her. It had made sense that he wasn’t truly her father. From everything she had told me about her past, something had not added up. Still, there was much to discover, but now everything was starting to fall into place. When she confided in me about Selene, I had already had my suspicions, though having her verify them, had stunned me. Neither of us knew what their relationship was entirely, but we were on the right track. It had infuriated me when Kyra described her first dream, it had been tricky to subdue Ace, but I had needed her to know that I wouldn’t react unruly every time she told me something that was disturbing. I generally had better control over that. It was her that I was reacting to. Both Ace and I were exceedingly protective of her. Baffled by Selene’s information in regard to her abilities, I was able to get her to give me a couple of
Kyra- Later that evening, I had been ready to trash the library. I had spent all day reading over different books about different types of magic and learning very little. Everything I had read was about spells and sacrifices and essentially a bunch of absurdity. I don’t know how any of these books were going to help me. I was just wasting my time. Pacing in the backyard, I was conflicted. How was I supposed to learn something that wasn’t exactly natural for a wolf? There was no one that could tell me what to do or even a book I could read to figure it out. It was beyond infuriating. Nothing I could think of was getting me any closer to learning more about what I could do. How does one even utilize power and control emotions? What did that even mean? What did my emotions even have anything to do with this power? I could feel Alexia getting frustrated as well, which only heightened my own feelings towards the issue. Alexia claimed that this power didn’t come fr
Hunter- Waiting outside for Kyra, I started to get edgy. Is this really a good idea? What if she doesn’t like my family? I turned towards the truck and was just about to start pacing when I groaned. The truck. Last time it hadn’t gone so well. Crap. I started pacing and feeling myself starting to sweat. “Hunter?” Her sweet voice filled my ears. Turning towards her, my eyes nearly pop out of my sockets. She was standing there without any clothes on. Complete and utterly naked. I mean okay, so I am not really complaining. She was beautiful and utterly perfect. But, going to my family home like that, wouldn’t do. My attention fell to the black piece of clothes and the white sandals she had bundled up in the bend of her arm. When I glanced back up, she was biting her bottom lip. Shit. She was sexy doing that, devastatingly so. I had half a mind to go and mark her at that moment. “Uh Hunter, could we, uh…” She paused as if she was trying to find the nerve
Kyra- Finally, I may be able to learn something of my past, I just hope that he knew something more than just speculation. I had been nervous to come here and when Hunter’s father started asking questions, I was ready to leave. I wanted to run as far away as I could, but I’ve been running my entire life. Isn’t running what I wanted to stop doing? So I stayed and made an effort try to be the normal girl I’ve been wanting to be. Its normal for others to ask questions about me. I was an anomaly after all. “Please, tell me what you heard?” I asked as I sat up in my chair straighter, fixing my attention on Sebastian. “Well, I can’t be too sure on what is actually true, there was rumors that mentioned a child that was given to the Crescent Moon pack, to be raised there as their own, but the child disappeared. There was speculation that the child was born of the Moon Goddess herself. I heard there was even a prophecy about the child, written in the stars.” S
Kyra- Friday morning, I awoke to a knock on my door. I hadn’t slept much, I had stayed up late reading over a couple of books I had found in the library about Selene. I had come to the realization about one thing, Selene had been a part of my life while I was growing up. It brought me a little comfort knowing that all along I had my mother guiding me. I still didn’t believe she was my mother, but if she was, I at least knew she had been with me. Alexia was still blocking me. I didn’t know why, though I was starting to speculate she knew more than she had let on. Ever since coming to this pack, we were no longer as close as we once were. Now it was as if I could barely reach her. Her blocking me was another matter entirely, never has she ever done it and I was starting to feel like she was abandoning me. Calmer this morning than I had been, I sat up in bed and pulled the blanket up to my chin. “Come in.” I yelled out to Hunter, whom I knew was at the o
Hunter- Not wanting Kyra to see me pass out, I had to call an intermission. She was fatigued and I was barely hanging on. Every part of my body was in a surreal amount of pain. It was taking every bit of energy I still possessed to keep my body upright. Tapping into Ace’s strength had been the only thing that had kept me going. I was fortunate when she had conceded. If she hadn’t done that, more than likely I would be taking a trip to the pack doctor. In Fact, that was where I was headed now. I told Kyra to take a break and get some rest. Informing her we would resume in a couple of hours. The next phase of training was going to be to tap into her power. No doubt she was depleted, she was going to need time to regain her strength and get some food in her. I still had no inkling how we were going to tap into her power, but I did know she was going to need to have as much energy as possible. It was probably going to drain her mentally. I waited until af
Kyra- An hour into trying to tap into my powers, I was getting frustrated. I was sitting on the hard ground, feeling as if I wasn’t getting anywhere. No matter how hard I tried I couldn’t do anything. Snapping at Hunter wasn’t doing any of us any good. Every time he tells me to try again or keep trying, I just wanted to bite his head off. Whatever I was doing was clearly not working. The most I managed to do was piss myself off. Hunter had gotten the idea that I needed to learn to manipulate before I could control. When he placed a candle in front of me, already burning, had tried for ten minutes to just get the flame to get larger, or manipulate it to move. Nothing happened though, well not until I threw the damn thing against the wall. Then something happened. It broke. Probably the most thrilling thing that has happened in the past hour. I felt gratification from destroying the blasted thing. When Hunter told me I needed to try to calm down and concentrate
Hunter- We had called it a day, and both agreed to take the weekend off. Kyra was buzzing with excitement, she even agreed to ride on the back of the ATV back to the pack house. It had been the best thing in the world to me, with her arms wrapped around me to hold on. The ATV hadn’t made her nervous, or at least I didn’t think it had. She had either been high off the adrenaline she was experiencing, or she had really enjoyed the ride. She had laughed most of the ride back, caused my heart to flip flop. I was going to make it my mission to try to make her laugh as often as possible. It was probably the most magnificent sound I have ever heard. Once we made it to the house, she had run inside as if she were on a mission. I was over the moon that she was in such high spirits. We still had a long road ahead of us, but maybe, just maybe, I could do more for her. I wanted to give her the life she wanted and the life she deserved. Tonight, I was going to let
