Kai
I go to the ballroom where I was told they put Lux.
I don't know what kind of situation I'm walking into, but it doesn't matter. I've got Genevieve on my arm and I'm going to get my sister back. Life will finally return to normal.
When I enter the room, my eyes immediately go to the beast that sounds exasperated as he snaps at some woman with red hair. I clear my throat, and everyone looks at me and I hear Lux’s soft voice, “Kai?”
Before I can respond to her, a short man exclaims as he points, “A fairy!”The taller man takes a step towards Genevieve with his arms reached out to touch her and I step in front of her, guarding her body with mine as I growl out, “MINE!”The man stops in his tracks and holds his hands up in surrender. The red-haired woman says, “A werewolf with a fairy… how peculiar.”I don't like the way they're looking at her so I ask gruffly, &KaiIt all happens so quickly. The rejection, the screaming and laughing, and then those people trying to take my mate.What surprises me most is the fact that neither Silas nor I were prepared for this, but Stefan was. He jumped into action, shifting into his wolf as he went for the man who grabbed Genevieve. He ripped into the man’s arm making Genevieve fall out of his arms and roll onto the floor.Her eyes are opened, terrified, but she doesn’t say anything or move.I want to run to her first, but I know I have bigger fish to fry as the other two people haven’t been taken down yet. Silas runs after the other man, and I don’t see the woman.I look around the grand ballroom and I’m cursing the men who put everyone in here. This would be a lot easier if we were in an office and there was no room to move.She can’t be that hard to find, we’re in an open room and she has flaming red hair.
LuxMy hand stung after I slapped Apollo. I ignored the stinging as I waited through the silence for him to respond to me. He says, “I still love you, Lux. You know that I would never intentionally-”I cut him off by scoffing at his lies, “You love my title. You were one of the ones pushing me for my birthright.”He snaps at me, “Because I want you to be safe! We were in unknown place; I was doing whatever I could to help keep you safe. Do you know how hard it was to hear your screams and know there was nothing I could do to help?!”I breathe out as I debate what I should do. I don't trust him, I'm beginning to wonder if he could've been one of the ones behind all of this. Stefan says, “My Luna, he had nothing to do with any of this. It all started with Michael.”Michael… where is he anyways? I haven't seen or heard about him in like two days.
LuxSilas and I walk hand in hand in silence. After a minute he tells me, “Kai and Genevieve are at the pack doctor.”I nod as I ask, “Is she okay?”“Not sure, Kai is acting short.”He’s not the only one, I think to myself. The situation is awkward, I don’t know how I’m supposed to behave with Silas, he’s supposed to be my mate and I am sure that he is hurt over the fact that I marked someone else whenever I knew we were supposed to be together.I can tell when we walked into the pack hospital because everything smells like chemicals, and it reminds me of being locked up. My nose flares as I try to focus on anything other than the memories of being electrocuted.Silas leads me to Genevieve’s room and as soon as I smell hers and my brothers’ scents, I feel like I’m able to relax. I ask, “How is she doing?”Kai answers, “I don’t k
Silas Jax surprised me when he pushed himself forward at Kodi’s command. He rarely forces me back like that and it took me a moment to take control again. When I do I see that Lux is still taken over by Kodi as she looks in Kai’s direction and asks, “What does that mean?”I look at Kai who has been taken over by his wolf, Loki. Loki looks me up and down and growls softly before telling Kodi, “Jax isn’t with us now. We’ll talk later.”Kodi tries to fight him, “Loki,”“Not now.” He snaps and I watch as Kai’s eyes close and when they open, I see that his wolf has gone away. Kai looks confused as he stares at me and then looks towards Lux who still has her wolf in charge. Her face is scrunched up in frustration and she tells me, “Bring Jax back.” I sigh, “Not right now, Kodi.” Her lower lip quivers and she snaps at me, “I just got him back! You can’t take him from me again.”I notice that Loki has taken
Kodi Loki begrudgingly leads me outside so that we can shift. It is easiest for him to show me memories if we are in our wolf forms and I don’t argue. The longer I stay inside Lux’s body the more I feel like I’m overstepping. She hasn’t tried to take control and I think is enjoying the break. I’m just noticed used to being in her form for this long. Loki grumbles, “Shift, let’s hurry up.”I nod and don’t argue as I shift, shredding my clothes because I didn’t think about stripping first. I lie on the ground and take a deep breath, enjoying the fresh air. The aura shifts around us as Loki shifts into his wolf form. He sits beside me with his paw on top of mine and I gasp softly as I see images, his memories, and hear voices. “Kodi just listen to me!” Loki calls out running towards my wolf in that life. “Enough, Loki! What are you trying to accomplish with these lies?! I’ve met my mate and it’s n
Kai Walking into Genevieve’s room I couldn’t help the disappointment that washed over me. I was really hoping that she would be talking or moving by now. Silas looks at me and gives a small smile as he stands up and walks away from the seat closest to her. I step out of his way when suddenly, Genevieve's eyes meet mine and I watch in awe as the corners of her mouth twitch up and she says softly, “Hey wolfy.”I rush to her side and sit on the edge of the bed as I grab her face with both of my hands and say in shock, “You can talk.”She nods slowly and says, “And I can move my head. I can’t move anything else yet.”I give her a quick peck on the lips and say, “It’ll get there.”She smiles, and I hear Silas excuse himself. Genevieve watches him go and I ask, “Is everything okay?”“Yeah, everything’s good. You know... it’s weird being aware when everyone else isn’t.”My face scrunches up in confusion as I ask, “What
LuxEverything was feeling normal. Lying against Silas’s shoulder reminded me of our first and so far, only date.Things felt so complicated then…little did I know how crazy things would truly get.I think about that kiss we had where I straddled him. I wanted to kill my wolf for being so forward. I never would’ve thought that she actually knew what she was doing.Now I’m tempted to be like her. I want to feel close to him. And these sparks with him although kind of scary are also reassuring and calming. It reminded me that I’m meant to be with him just like he’s meant to be with me. It reminds me of the fact that I’m not alone in this world anymore.I take a breath as I try to collect my courage but before I can react on it, I hear a noise in the distance. My eyebrows furrow in confusion as I sit up moving away from Silas. He asks, “Lux, are you okay?”&ld
Lux I knock on my dad’s door, but he doesn’t answer. I open it up and I force myself not to gag from the smell.Has he even showered since I was taken? I take cautious steps as I walk in because I can tell right away that their normal clean room is riddled with items on the floor. I call out, “Dad?”He doesn’t answer and I say, “Dad, I need to talk to you?”I hear his soft voice as he answers, “Lux?”“Yeah dad, it’s me. Where are you?” Suddenly I’m wrapped in his embrace. The stench coming from him is horrible, but it is what it is. I’m not going to say anything not now as he is sobbing in my arms. His whole body convulses with his sobs and I just stand there in his embrace and rub his back as I try to soothe him. He says to me through his tears, “H-how are you here? I-I-I thought I lo-lost you forever.” I laugh softly as I say, “No dad, not forever. Your little girl is a fighter.”“That’s true. You always have been. You’re
