Alley POV: None of us slept hardly at all, we pulled our best fighters and filled them in on the plan. We have to find Leia after we set everything on fire. We decided to do it as early as possible to make sure most were inside sleeping. They won't be able to hide if the houses are burnt down, we were able to sneak in thanks to Pythias cloaking spell and check for kids. Thankfully no kids are around, if there were we would have to re plan things. We have ten of the best fighters from each pack plus us. "Are you staying here with Cassandra?" Stephen asked, looking at Jeremy, he was torn on what to do. "Yeah I'll stay here. I don't want them knowing about me just yet." Jeremy replied. "Hey, don't worry about it, you guys can hide out here until we get back, we don't want to push you to do something you don't want to do just yet." I said, trying to reassure him that it is okay to take the back seat every once in a while. He is scared for his mate and that is something we can all unde
Alley POV: "I know I can but right now, no, I'm not trying too." I replied, He started swinging his arms around trying to ease the flames that were engulfing him. I tightened the roots around his legs, immobilizing him. As he laid on the ground I looked around, everyone started disappearing and I knew it was time to leave. "Sammie get Stephen and the others out of here!" I yelled through the link, Stephens eyes went wide and before he could say anything Sammie did as she was told and sent them back home. "You will die, Alley, it's just a matter of time." Bosch spat . I looked down on him before raising my hand forming a ball of water. "If you can survive this, then I will give you a fair shot at a fight with me." I sneered, dropping the water around his head. I watched as he struggled to get his head out to gain some air. I heightened the fire bringing it up to his chest. His screams were drowned out by the water. "Let's go home." I said to Jack, he grabbed onto my shoulders and tel
Alley POV: When my eyes opened I didn't recognize where I was. A huge tree with large branches reached at least twenty yards, a large swing hung off one of the branches. I walked a little closer to see a woman sitting on the swing. Shit did I die!? No, no, no, no please tell me I didn't die! My heart started beating fast and hard in my chest and I could feel the panic rising. "Rose? ROSE?!" Why can't I feel her? "Alley calm down." The woman said, wait I know that voice, the closer I got to her I recognized her. Athea, the moon goddess herself. Wait what? "Athea?" I was confused. "Come have a seat with me, my great white witch, we need to talk." She said, Crap am I in trouble? Why am I here? "Stop asking yourself a million questions and come sit." She chuckled, patting the seat beside her. "Why can't I feel Rose?" I asked. As soon as I asked, a large colorful wolf came out from behind the tree. I've seen Rose before when she's shown me but never like this. "Rose?" I whispered, She
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
