Alley POV: "Did I make it back home? I remember asking Jack to take us home." I asked, trying to piece the rest together. "Yes, you are resting peacefully beside Stephen, he has been up every few hours with the pack doctor to check you over." Athea said. "That makes me feel a little better but you said you had to talk to me? Am I in trouble?" I asked a little hesitantly, the last thing I want to do is upset her. "No, you are not in trouble. I wanted to talk to you about the upcoming battle. Bosch is furious but he is healing." Athea said. "Well I figured he would be mad but he shouldn't have called me and taunted me." I said chuckling. "You should know by now that you are much more powerful than he is. You can already tell the outcome of it. I'm proud of you, my daughter." She replied. "You did good Alley." Rose chimed in. "Thank you Rose, I'm sorry I didn't let you help." I replied. "Alley I need you to listen carefully, Bosch does have the one thing that can take your power, you
Alley POV: The second we got back to the grove I was amazed again, it was so beautiful, Stephen had the same look as I did when I first came here. Danny was bouncing around like he had been here his entire little life. "We need to find Athea!" Danny said, looking around. "I am over here little Danny." Athea said, smiling at Danny with her arms wide open. "AATTTHHHEAAAAA!" Danny squealed and ran straight to her jumping in her arms giggling. "How are you my little seer?" She asked, laughing as he wrapped her up in a hug. "I'm so happy! Stephen and Alley are the best." Danny replied. Stephen bowed his head slightly, "Always a pleasure Athea." Stephen said. "No need to bow my warrior, it is always good to see you in person." Athea replied. She turned her gaze towards me. "Alley, you look more relaxed than you were when we talked." She said, "I feel a lot better, thanks to you." I replied smiling at her because truthfully it was because of her and Rose. If she hadn't done what she did
Alley POV: Denver started to slow down as we reached a clearing as we climbed a hill, the trees opened up. I leaned further up on Denver so I could see what was down there, my eyes widened at the sight. Wolves everywhere! Babies, and adult ones, I'm sure I looked like a fish out of water. Eyes wide and it seemed like I couldn't keep my mouth closed. I felt Denver rumble under me. "It's not nice to laugh." I said earning a snort from Denver. "Wait before we go, are they going to be mad that we are there?" I asked, feeling a little nervous. If they don't know us they could get mad, wolves are territorial animals. "They know all about you and Stephen, they've been wondering when they would meet you both." Rose replied. Wait what? How do they know about us? Why? "How do they know about us? They've never met us." Stephen asked. Alright I need to stop thinking since everyone seems to know my thoughts. "Athea came to us and told us what was going on and what needed to be done. This is our
Alley POV: If I haven't said this enough, this place is beautiful, there are so many wolves around, we have seen the huts they live in and the endless supply of different types of food that Athea gives to them. They have an area for all the pups to play and exercise while the adults train. I've never seen anything like it, when they train they fight hard with each other and no matter how bloody it's supposed to be none of them bleed or feel pain. I guess that's what it is supposed to be like here, no pain at all. It's what makes them strong, it's what makes them who they are. "What about the rogues? Where are they?" I asked, since we have been here we haven't seen any of them. "They don't come from a place like this. What you don't know is Athea has a sister, she holds a place for all things bad." Rose replied. Whoa wait a minute, Athea has a sister? Since when? Why haven't we heard anything about it? "How come we haven't heard about her?" Stephen asked. "Because her sister prefe
Alley POV: "So what do y'all know about the battle?" I asked curiously. "We can't tell you the exact details but we can assure you that you have nothing to fear. We would give our lives for you." Denver replied. Well at least I tried. "You two must be hungry how about we get things set up so y'all can make something." Rose said, and on cue my stomach started growling, I felt Denver rumble under me. Rude. As we all stood up we walked to a clearing where it looked like a fire was built, wolves came in with logs in their mouths, and a few had platters with meat, potatoes and other vegetables. Goodness, how could we eat all that? "Is anyone else going to eat? Not sure if y'all like it raw or cooked but we can cook it all.." I trailed off as I looked around to see all the food they brought. "We will all eat with y'all, this will be our first and last meal together for a while. We eat them raw so cook what you want." Ember said as she walked up to us. I smiled in return. She was right
Danny POV: I still can't believe how big the wolves are! I didn't like watching Alley and Stephen leave. They are my new mom and dad and I miss them all the time."Danny, my little seer, why don't you come have a seat with me?" I heard Athea say. She really is so pretty and her hair is so white! Just like snow! I've never seen snow before but I have seen lots of pictures. Athea was really nice to me, all those times my aunt was so mean to me Athea would come visit me and tell me to hold on a little longer. I keep seeing flashes of my aunt dying but I don't feel sad like when my mom and dad died. Why don't I feel sad? Does that make me a mean person? Athea picked me up and set me on a giant swing that was hanging off the huge tree. "What are you thinking about Danny?" I heard Athea ask. "Do you think I am a meanie like my aunt?" I asked looking up. "Of course not, why would you think that?" She asked. "Because I see things.. her dying and I don't feel sad like I did with mommy and d
Alley POV: To say the day was eventual would be an understatement. Danny met his wolf Ember, I knew she was special but I didn't know she would turn out to be our little Danny's wolf. "Mommy, Daddy can I ask something?" Danny asked. He passed out the moment we were transported back into our world. Let's say he had a power nap. He seems energized at least. "Of course you can sweetie what is it?" I asked, sitting down beside him. "I want to go see my aunt." Danny said. Uh what? He wants to go see her? "Why would you want to do that?" Stephen asked, looking like I felt. "Because, Athea said I have to forgive her for me. Or I could carry it around forever and I don't want to be mad or sad. I want to be happy in my new home with my new mommy and daddy." Danny said. Well I wasn't expecting that. "Well if that is what you want then yes, we will take you to see her." I replied. "She won't hurt me will she?" Danny asked. "We would never allow that. She may say some mean things to you thoug
Alley POV: We stood in front of her cell, Danny still secured behind me, "Well well little Danny wanted to see his dear old aunt?" Linda grunted out, Danny clenched tighter to my shirt. She sounded horrible, her voice was raspy and thick. "Aw he needs protection now does he?" Linda sneered moving around to get her eyes on Danny. A threatening growl escaped my lips. "You will watch what you say. You don't get to speak to him like that got me?" I snapped. Linda's eyes went wide as if she just realized who he was surrounded by. Danny took my hand and took a side step to stand between me and Stephen but stayed behind us. "I- I'm not here to really see you.. I am here- here to forgive you." Danny stuttered. "Forgive me? What did I do?" Linda scoffed. She can't be serious right? "Bitch." Rose mumbled. "You were so mean to me." Danny whispered. "Mean? Because I wouldn't let you have toys? Or rock you to sleep like you mommy did." Linda growled. No the hell she didn't, Danny flinched at her
