I woke up still on the blanket beside Eryn. I shot up to my feet so fast, remembering everything I just saw. I gave a look to Eryn before I began to run toward the council building. I could hear Eryn running behind me, he could feel my jumbled emotions and racing thoughts.
"It'll be okay. He's strong. They're all strong." He tried to comfort me as he ran alongside me.I wanted to believe his words, I did, but how could I? I've seen what they are capable of. I've felt death by their hands 3 times, and have felt that fear and that evil that seeps from them 5 times now.Please let Charles be okay.Finally making it to the building, I burst through the doors as loudly as I could, trying to catch everyone's attention. It was still early so I wasn't sure who all was awake right now. I ran to the dining hall finding most of the council members eating. Somehow their eating and smiling infuriated me this morning.I stormed my way to their tab

We all ran outside, making sure we weren't spotted. Eryn opened the tree for us to step through. I still can't seem to get used to the smell. I decided to breathe through my mouth in the hopes it would help lessen the stench. Eryn pulled his bow from his back and equipped it with an arrow. He stood tall as the end of the tunnel came to view. He shot his arrow out before we burst through to the ugliest sight I had ever seen. Bodies laid throughout the field. Some were torn down the middle, others sliced right in half. There were body parts everywhere. Not a single dead person seemed to be in one piece. The grass didn't have a single spot of green left, all crimson red with blood. 3 ancient ones stood in the center of the field in a circle. Their arms swinging out towards the wolves that were attacking them. I looked around the ground, trying to see if Charles laid amongst the carnage. I knew he wouldn't be, I would have felt it, but I had to be sure. All those dead open eyes I looke

I was in its mind, lost in its darkness. I don't know how to get out and I can't even feel or hear Heli in me. I'm alone in the darkness, depression slowly started to crawl over me. I'm all alone in this darkness. There's no one here with me, no one to save me. I curled up into a ball, hugging my legs close to my chest as I began to uncontrollably sob. I can't describe the sadness I feel right now. I can only say it's just as bad, if not worse, than the day my father and brother died. This darkness had rendered me useless and depressed in less than a minute. I knew, in the back of my mind, that this ancient one's human side lay somewhere here, dormant, probably curled into a ball weeping like I am. It felt like an eternity before a warm feeling crossed my body. I recognized it, but I wasn't sure why. I could barely remember my own name at this point. The warm feeling radiated from my back, spreading through me. I felt the sadness start to leave me. A fa

My vision started to focus, the blinding light fading and giving way to my current surroundings. The sword was still in my hands, the ancient one frozen in place under it. Eryn's hand was pressed against my right shoulder blade and Charles' on my lower back left side. They had been holding me up this whole time. I fell back into them letting go of the sword. The battle seemed over, soldiers moving bodies now. Stoic stood to the side tentatively watching me, anger seeping from his pores. Nate stepped in my line of sight, blocking his father, shaking his head in his attempt to tell me not to worry about that now.My sobs came out heavy and quick, as I looked at the ancient one, knife still in his eye. Nate pulled his taloned hand back about to strike the ancient one down."No!!" I yelled at him, pulling at the grass in front of me as I scrambled to get off the ground. I placed my body protectively over his body. "His human side is coming back. You can't hur

They were keeping Charles' father and my dad in a secluded area of the building for everyone's safety. We were allowed to see them, but they couldn't leave their room. I didn't like that very much, but I didn't have a leg to stand on right now. I was in a lot of trouble for disobeying a direct order from Stoic. I don't regret it though. No way was I going to stay in the building and not go help Charles.He said he was contemplating my punishment still. Nate defended me though and told his father he has no just cause to punish me. That staying in the council wasn't part of my sentencing. He said they were unjustly holding me here. It only seemed to flame the fire of Stoic's fury. I was currently sitting across from him in his study. His face was serious, but his eyes held all the anger he was holding back. His hands were clasped in front of him over his mouth and he kept his gaze fixed on me. He was contemplating, thinking of what to do with me. Eventual

My father's shoulders slouched his eyes misting over. I've never seen him look so fragile, except for when I found him in the darkness. "Lucy.." He whispered, so much love poured into her name from his lips. "Is that okay? I don't want to ruin her new life." He shyed away. "Dad," I paused grabbing his hand with both of mine. "She never found anyone else. She never looked for anyone else. She said you were her one great love and she'll never find another." A tear slipped out of my father's eye, one he quickly wiped away. He nodded his head, unable to speak, knowing how weak his voice would be right now. I pulled my phone out video calling my mother. I pulled the camera out so that my dad and I could both be clearly seen. My dad furrowed his brows a bit confused. "It's a video call." I explained to him as the phone rang. My mother answered on the fourth ring, gasping instantly. "Rain Olivia!" She yelled. "What'

Dad cried for a while over James. He cried over the time he missed with us. He threw things as his sadness turned to anger. Anger over how he was a prisoner in his own body and mind. Anger over how weak he felt, never being able to beat the demon on his own. Anger at all the things he missed out on while I grew up. I sent those healing waves towards him, once he slumped down on the floor, once he threw his last item. "Thanks gumdrop. You've grown up to be such a wonderful woman." Dad pet my head, causing me to feel like a small child again. I groaned, but smiled up at him. "It had a lot to do with your death. I had to grow up a lot when you died. It definitely matured me faster." I thought back to middle school and how trivial everyone's drama seemed to me. I didn't care about Becky cheating on John with Noah. I didn't care that the boy my best friend had a crush on liked me instead. Everything just seemed meaningless at that time.

After a long day, I was glad to find Eryn and Charles in the dining hall together. They were arguing again, but I was beginning to find it kind of endearing. They didn't fight anymore, at least, not physically. Just arguments and usually about me. I shook my head at them, a big smile sprawled across my face as I approached them. "What are we arguing about now?" They both turned to meet my eyes, a bit surprised to see me. Charles arched an eyebrow at me and Eryn gave me a small smirk. "Whether or not to go get you." Eryn smiled playfully at me, taking my hand and giving it a quick kiss, making me feel like the royalty I actually am."What was your stance in the argument?" I eyed Charles, curious what he thought. "I wanted to steal you away. I saw that your mother had come, and well, I still owe you for that picture." A large grin played on his face, a hunger for me clearly visible in his eyes. A small gasp left me at the reminder of th

I wanted to chase after Eryn right away, but Charles was still inside me. We had just had this tender moment and I don't regret it, but I should have thought of Eryn. He was my mate too, but this was all so new to the three of us… it's all so complicated. "Let him sulk for a while. We didn't do anything wrong." Charles' words sounded harsh, but I knew he was only trying to comfort me. He could feel the guilt I was feeling through our mate bond. "He's hurt Charles. We shared a very intimate moment in front of him. I forgot he was in the room…I was so wrapped up in you." My eyes were stinging with unshed tears. "He's your mate Rain. He's not going anywhere. He'll come back when he's done throwing his fit. Don't let him make you feel bad for what we did." I felt a pain in my chest, both my mates were hurting from my words. I inadvertently hurt Eryn and it seems I inadvertently hurt Charles now. "I'm sorry Charles. I didn't mean-" "I kno
