Haley I watch in horror as black veins quickly spread throughout Avery’s body all heading towards his heart. I don’t even think as I lean down and kiss him. I don’t know how I am doing it but I can feel a warm flow through me into Avery as something dark and cold enters me. I feel like I am being stabbed from the inside out as the coldness spread throughout my body. “Haley! Stop!” I feel like I am choking on something as I struggle to breath. I feel myself collapse onto the ground as everything fades into black. I feel cold. I hug my knees to my chest trying to get warm as my body shivers uncontrollably. Everywhere I look is pitch black and I can’t even feel Hazel. “Hazel?” There is no reply and I begin to panic. “Hazel!?” This must be it. I died and I am alone. At least I know that means Avery is safe and his life is no longer threatened by my existence. It hurts to know that I’ll never see him again, never hold him in my arms but at least he is alive. I hope he finds a second
Haley “How it all began?” “Yes, it is my fault our family was cursed. My selfishness.” I sit next to Hazel and pay attention to Freya’s story. Not even my mother knew the full story. “Our family originates from Scandinavia. This was a time before Egypt had risen to it’s power. Werewolves were open with humans to what we were. There were about ten small packs throughout the land and one by one we were being conquered by an outsider. A pack that allied itself with dark witches. Our packs were beginning to dwindle so we began to ban together to protect each other. It was at this gathering that led me to my mate, Leif. Let me show you.” The scene around us changes and we are surrounded by snow. There is a huge group of people and wolves in a clearing and I see Freya entranced on a tall, muscular man that must be Leif. They are staring at each other and slowly walk towards each other. “Mate,” says Leif. Leif embraces Freya and kisses her. It’s such a sweet kiss and they appear ve
Haley The scene is changing before me and it’s utter chaos as wolves and witches are fighting for their lives. The ground is littered with dead bodies and the snow is no longer white but red from all the blood that has been spilt. It’s like a scene out of a war movie. “Dark Moon attacked just as dawn approached. The white witches are not as strong when the sun rises and the dark witches took advantage of this. Even though we united the packs we were still no match for Dark Moon. The white witches were out numbered and only one survived.” I watch as the white witches are slaughtered while Freya explains what is happening. Tears sting my eyes as the youngest white witch scrambles to escape. Many wolves are escaping, fleeing on boats out of the country. They didn’t stand a chance. I watch as Freya is crying, broken from the loss of her mate. “Of those that died, Leif was among them. It broke me. I was angry and I aimed my anger at the moon goddess for not protecting us.” I watch as
Alpha Avery I can tell Haley is going to wake up soon. At least I hope she is going to wake up soon. The waiting has been torture. Two weeks have now gone by, but the black veins are now just at her finger tips. She has stirred a few times in her sleep and even shed a few tears. I don’t know what is going on in her mind but I stay close, hoping she can feel I am here with her. I hope she knows she is not alone. “I’m right here Haley. Please open your eyes love.” Her finger twitches and I jump up in excitement and squeeze her hand. “Haley?” After a few seconds go by I realize she is not going to wake up. I sink back into the chair as tears pool in my eyes. I hear the door open and I wipe away a tear that has fallen. I look behind me and one of my she-wolves has walked in with flowers. “Sorry to disturb you Alpha. I brought fresh flowers for our Luna and I brought you some dinner.” “Thank you Amanda, how are the orphans doing?” “As good as can be. We were able to find a home fo
Haley “Yes Haley it is us.” “I can’t believe you are actually here. There has been so much I’ve wanted to say to you guys.” “We know Haley. We’ve been watching over you all this time,” says my father. “Really?” “Yes, I’m sorry we were not strong enough. I am glad my sister was able to raiser you as her own,” says my mother. I hug them both as tears fall. I really never thought in a million years I would be able to speak to my parents before I died. I have had so many questions that my aunt never had the chance to answer. “We don’t have a lot of time Haley, but I wanted to try and help you in any way I can. So I am going to tell you about the day we died,” says mom. My parents sit on the ground with who I assume are their wolves as I sit in front of them to listen with Hazel next to me. “It’s nice to see you again Hazel,” says my father. “You have all met before?” “Yes, the moon goddess allowed us to choose which wolf would be attached to you. Hazel had already been attach
Alpha Avery I am having the best dream I’ve had in the last two weeks when I hear a voice pulling me away from it. “Avery…..” I groan as I open my eyes. When they land on Haley I jump out of the chair and embrace her. “Haley!” I can’t believe she is finally awake. Spartan is howling for joy as I kiss every inch of her face, making her giggle. “Oh my goddess, how I’ve missed that sound.” “How long have I been out?” “Two weeks.” “Two weeks! It only felt like hours to me.” “Please don’t ever do anything reckless like that again. You could’ve died!” “I’m not sorry for what I did. You would’ve died had I let the spell spread.” “You would’ve died too if it hadn’t been for the white witch, Hope. She slowed the spell down enough for you to heal on your own.” “You found her? Hope? Where is she?” “I’m sorry Haley. She died during the fight.” I pull her close to me as she cries at the loss of another life. I still need to tell her about Aiden. “The boys? Are they okay?” “They’re
Haley I can see the hope in Avery’s eyes when he asked if I will stay with him. Part of me wants to say yes immediately, but I need him to listen to what Freya told me before I tell him my answer. He may change his mind about us. “Before I give you my answer, I need to tell you what happened while I was unconscious. You need to know everything before you decide whether or not you want me as a Luna for your pack.” “Haley, I love you. There is nothing you could say that will change my mind. I won’t have any other mate. I choose you.” “Please. Just listen.” He sits quietly as I retell Freya’s story. I am thankful none of the boys interrupt me for once. I cry a bit when talking about the meeting with my parents part, but they still don’t move to interrupt me. Once I finally finish, Avery wraps his arms around me and kisses my temple. “Haley, this changes nothing for me. You are mine and I am yours. You are my mate, you are my Luna. Please don’t push me away. I understand what I am
Spartan I am so happy our mate is finally awake. Avery and I were going stir crazy every day our mate didn’t budge. I was worried she would never wake up. “Hazel? You and Haley are okay?” “We are fine Spartan. We will need a few days before we are back to normal.” “Thank the goddess. You two scared me.” “Sorry handsome.” Hazel is driving me crazy with that purring that she is doing, but I’ve missed that sound. We talk a bit longer before she quiets me. “Listen to what Haley has to say.” Avery and I listen closely. Every time he even thinks to interrupt her I tell him to shut up and for once he listens. I am fascinated by our mate’s story and happy she got to meet her biological parents. “Hazel, do you understand what the moon goddess meant about breaking the curse?” “No. Neither of us know what it means.” I pace in frustration. We can’t let Hazel and Haley go through this alone. Avery agrees with me, we are not leaving our mate’s side. Even if that means we die. Our mate is
