SAVANNAH POVMy coven has been travelling with this market for a little while now, and I have been able to learn a lot of different spells and different ways to do some of the spells I already know. My grandmother is the covens High Priestess, she would have passed the title onto my mother but when she was killed in the witch trials, my grandmother now wants me to take over soon but I don't want it, I am happy to just stay where I am in the coven. When I meet my mate-match, I will probably end up moving to his coven, anyway. I have been walking around the market, picking up the odd ingredient here and there that Grandmother asked for. I stop at one of the stalls and look at some of the crystals that are available. I then hear this really rough but sexy voice "There have been reports going around that there are two Alphas stalking around. Have you seen or heard anything?" "Alpha's as in werewolf?"
RILEY POVI head back to the market like I told Julian I was going to do, but Romeo is getting restless. We haven't had a good feed since we had that time with that female in the last clan. Romeo doesn't like the bagged blood, even though it is normal human blood he says it tastes like it is artificial so we only ever drink it when we are on the borderline of losing control but that still won't be for a few more weeks. So that really can't be it, so I lean up against one of the buildings just inside the town centre and turn inward "Romeo? What's gotten into you?""Idon't know! We are missing something... Something or someone very important to us....""But who or what?""I'm not sure, but I think it could be our mate... Our mate is here so
GRIFFIN POV I have probably been in this pack for longer than I should have, but I have enjoyed being here and Memphis is insisting that we need to stay just a little longer as we will be needed here. I stay and help a little old werewolf female who runs a little bakery; I think she is hoping that I will stay and take over her bakery once she is no longer able to do it herself.Alpha Sawyer and Luna Gemma are the best leaders I have come across in a long time. Luna Gemma is really gentle but very firm when needed and Alpha Sawyer is a good and fair male. He doesn't judge anyone or anything until he knows the full story and that means both sides of any argument, but when it comes to protecting the pack, he is unforgiving. Some would even say that he is bordering on cruelty but it is what has kept the Diamond Moon Pack safe for many, many years.Even I had to prove myself to him before he allowed me to stay for the extended period of time that I have and most of that was due to the old
MEMPHIS/GRIFFIN POV ** FLASHBACK CONT… ** After a few more of these moves, he must have decided he needed to get some sort of advantage. He then must have given a couple of the other young males an order as one came over and jumped onto my back while the other grabbed the female off of the ground and held her to him with his claws extended and placed at her throat. I stopped after I had put the leader on the ground once more. I pull the male off of my back, giving him a quick hard hit to the nose and knocking him out. I drop him to the ground and turn to face the male holding the female. I smile and instead of talking to the male; I talk to the female. "Good evening ma'am, are you okay?" I bow slightly towards her, She smiles. "I am better now, but please, my name is Amelia!" She whimpers a little as the male holding her tightens his fingers and slightly digs his claws into her neck. I move my eyes from looking at her to the male behind her, "Now that is not a nice thing to do
JULIAN POV The next two weeks are more of the same. We run the border and patrol the market. I get a hint of that amazing blood scent on occasion while walking through the market, but I can never find the owner. I have noticed that there is a human in the clan that wasn't here when we arrived but that can happen when a human miss judges the road they are on and come across one of our clan towns instead of a normal town, they usually only stay a day or two and then move on but then with the market they may just stay that little longer.I get a link from Nathaniel "Ryker, Julian, Riley, William, I need you all in the briefing room." "On my way" I am curious about how Nathaniel managed to include William in that mind link, but then he is part Royal werewolf.I am surprised when Uncle Dominic, King Noah, Phoenix and Victoria walk into the briefing room. I smile as Phoenix talks to Nathaniel."Nathaniel! I would have thought you would still be on the move. Do you have any leads?" I do
GRIFFIN'S POVI am cleaning the store after the day's sales when I hear Amelia call out to me,"GRIFFIN!! I NEED YOUR HELP!"I quickly exit the bakery and over to where I hear Amelia. As I get to her, I say."Amelia, what's wrong? Have you hurt yourself? I did tell you to take things easy...."I stop as I get to her and see that she is holding a young female; she looks at me, saying in my head,"She is the one in trouble. We must take her to the pack hospital and inform Alpha Sawyer! I can't lift her and there is no way she can walk!" I nod and move around Amelia, picking up the young female bridal style and then following close behind Amelia as she heads to the pack house and our pack healer. The female in my arms seems to find a little of the strength she has left and starts to struggle. I feel her fear and Memphis whispers to me,"She is very important. She is the missing Vampir
GRIFFIN POV She sighs as she leans back and says, "I guess I owe you a thank you!?" "Nah, you owe Amelia a thank you. I just picked you up and carried you here as she couldn't.." "She probably should have just left me in the alley she found me in...." "Now that wouldn't have been very friendly of her, now would it?" "I haven't been around that many friendly people lately... It would have been safer for everyone if she had left me there!" I go to say something else but stop as she looks around again, then suddenly curls up and into herself. I look at the door and see Alpha Sawyer approaching. I glance back at the princess, shivering in a ball on the bed, and move to the door. I exit the door and close it behind me and move to meet Alpha Sawyer before he gets to her room. I bow slightly "Afternoon Alpha!" "How is she doing? Gemma says she is awake..." "She is but.." "Well, then, I need to
GRIFFIN’S POVShe moves quickly off of the bed, grabbed the clothes and headed into the bathroom. I sit on the chair in the corner as I wait for her to come back out; I don't miss the wave of guilt and sadness that comes out of the bathroom once the shower stops. Again, I need to take her mind off of whatever is going through that pretty head of hers. I laugh as she rejoins me in the room, saying."You know you had no worries. If I had helped you in there, I am waiting for my mate and would never treat a female with such disrespect..."She bows her head slightly in thanks, but I don't think she really believes me."Come on, fresh air awaits.." I laugh again and this time she laughs along with me.As we make our way out of the pack hospital, I link with Alpha Sawyer"Alpha Sir?" "Yes, Griffin!" "I have managed to get her out of the hospital. I know you want to meet with her. So I will give her a tour of the pack and then, as we come to the end, you can meet up with us and have your l
