BRIANNA
Alaric may have felt like Nixon’s outburst was harmless, but anytime he let his powers slip was dangerous. I wanted to talk to him about it, not that it would change anything, but I also felt like I had talked about it with him until I was blue in the face.
Nixon wanted to let his powers loose, he had been practicing with them lately, and I knew Octavia could help him to an extent, but it just seemed too dangerous to let his secret out. How many species would come for him? How would we stop them or protect him? Not only that, but I know from experience the hunger for controlling power killed my parents, Dez’s parents, and most of what should have been my pack.
The problem was that he was too carefree, too powerful, and getting too old now for us to hold him back.

BRIANNA I was hesitant to keep my heirs in here for this, but the boys assured me they needed to see. Orion explained the nature of what was about to happen to Mylo and Dahlia who have both chosen to join us. “I’d like my mate to join me,” Marie’s timid voice rang out, “but if that’s not something you’d prefer, I would still like to remain.” Seeing as though Octavia would just fill him in later anyways, I gave her a nod of approval and Timber’s Beta was charged with keeping Nora safe in the next room. When Marcus came into the room, there was a shift in energy, as was to be expected, but when Terran entered the room, Dixon became visibly stiff. I knew Dixon had issues surrounding Fae, but to see such a strong immediate reaction was surprising. I guess he didn’t know that Marie’s mate was Fae until now.

MYLO “Isabelle will be stripped of her powers until she is determined to not be a threat anymore,” Xander informed us. The room had been cleared of everyone but the royals, myself, Dahlia and Nora. “We have someone in Shadow Forest who can accomplish it and make sure it’s maintained,” Brianna said as she assessed me, “your father informed us that you would like the right to end Marcus’s life. Are you positive that you want to bear that burden, that you have thought about having to tell Nora in the future?” “We have,” I glanced down at Dahlia and Nora. “It’s my job to protect them, no one else should have to burden themselves with Marcus’s death. Nora will understand, if she cares to ask, that it was her life or his.” “With me then,” Xander motioned for me to fol

I woke up to the sound of a stomach aching in hunger, it rumbled so loud that my own stomach followed suit, letting out a low grumble that demanded to be fed. I gently opened my eyes, breathing in the fresh, cool air of the morning and started to remember where I was. My back was padded by the soft grass, my head cradled on Rowan’s stomach as my legs stretched out, making a ‘T’ shape with our bodies. 'We shouldn’t be here,' hissed in my head, I knew she was right but I chose to ignore her. The patch of grass underneath me was that thick, plush kind of grass, that was never attended to but long enough to slightly bend over making it perfect and cushy to lay on. It was surrounded by such a dense treeline and bushes; it was a wonder that those types of plants just refused to grow in the small oval area I was in, and when you looked up, it provided a perfect view of the sky. This was my favorite spot to escape to anytime I needed to get

As I let the warm water wash away Rowan's scent, I wondered if I had gone too far this time. We've always been close, but I had never stayed out all night with him, and the new level to our intimacy seemed to only confuse me more.‘He has a mate somewhere; we shouldn’t be laying with people who aren’t our mates…’ my wolf chimed in.‘Thanks Echo, as if I’m unaware… it’s not like we did anything,’I rolled my eyes and shook my head in disbelief, ‘scolded by my own wolf,’ I huffed.‘You see the way he looks at you, what’s going to happen when we turn 18?’I knew the look she was talking about, the one that I felt I had given him back numerous times, and in the middle of washing my hair, I watched as another leaf circled the drain. I could feel the longing in my own chest and the caution in my own thoughts as I spoke with Echo,

I rolled my eyes at her as I turned to grab clothes out of my closet, I thought I was so careful, I hoped she was the only one who seen because if either of my parents caught me I'd get the 'ranking members need to act like such' conversation for about the thousandth time.“It wasn’t a walk of shame Farah,” I huffed at her as I sifted through my drawers instead for something to throw on.“Ok, Ok, you weren’t ashamed, but Rowan… huh…” she was wiggling her eyebrows at me now as a sly grin formed on her face.“We’re just friends Farah, nothing happened.” My voice came out soft and unsure, I wasn't sure nothing happened, but nothing Farah was thinking, happened. As close as we were I never crossed that line with Rowan, and he's never pressured me to, not that Echo would sit by and let it happen anyways.“Sure, sure,” she said pausing, staring at me caught in my own tho

I could hear Farah giggle at my stomachs noises as we walked into the kitchen. I wasted no time in plucking a fresh strawberry muffin from the basket and refilling my now empty coffee mug. I seen Farah grab a danish and some fruit piled on a platter, and bring it with us, to the kitchen area off to the right in a room of its own.It was a smaller dining area that led to some very large glass doors, and out onto a covered patio area that sat just in front of the gardens. It was cozier than the formal dining room for so many reasons, equipped with several larger chairs, and a larger bench to rest on as the doors let in the view from outside. It felt like you could have family moments here, where the dining room seemed too formal and suffocating, never allowing for enjoyment.“Today… is a good day…” I struggled to get out as I was taking a large bite of the muffin. My eyes were closed as I fully took in the taste. Strawberry muffins had to

Theo reached out and set my muffin on the table, then took my hands in his, “As the Alpha’s sister you are held to the highest standards, not only is it your birthday in a few short days - which should have finding your mate at the top of your priority list...” I huffed at that notion and he squeezed my hands as if to say ‘quit.’He took a long breathe in, and as he exhaled, I seen my father lurking behind him, but not fully coming into the room we stood in. Theo most definitely got most of his looks from the Alpha bloodline, his chin chiseled in the same way, their expressions the same, and their eyes perfectly emotionless.Theo continued ”…but we will have unmated males from other territories roaming around anytime now as they arrive with their Alpha's, until after the Carnival,” he paused again when Rowan tensed at his words.I wasn’t sure what else there was to say, or why the Alpha's would come when the

I already knew as I got up from crouching in front of Farah, to answer the door.His minty scent had filled my nose before he even knocked, I opened the door slowly and stopped it with my foot so that less than my body width was open, as my voice rang out in an accusatory tone, “Rowan… “His face looked puzzled and annoyed, probably because I called him by his full name. As a child I could never say his name properly, so I only ever called him ‘Ro.’ He always said it sounded so formal and weird to hear me speak his full name, a little taste of what I endured downstairs if you ask me. I was still standing in the doorway, not having fully opened it when he relaxed his stance, bringing his hand up in front of his chest, holding a strawberry muffin.“I didn’t know…” was all he said.Did he really think he could bribe me? Of course he did, because he knows me a little too well. I tried not to get lost in
