Chapter 78: Plan of Actions Pt. 2
The conversation tapered off after my declaration, and segued into less stressful situations. The families were seated at the front of the restaurant while the more integral members were seated at the back; which only consisted of John, Toran, and myself. The other active pack members didn’t need to hear about our plans until it was officially announced later. So, our conversation couldn’t be heard which was how I wanted it to be. Those who needed to be concerned for the time being were right where they needed to be.
“So,” John initiated, pausing to eat his food. I stopped eating and passed a curious eye his way. “Merari,” he mentioned.
The name itself made me my breath hitch and my heart pace and I just wasn't in the mood to feel these emotions at the moment. I could see Toran pausing from my peripheral. We both should have

Aziz:The brisk November night air was something calming to our senses as we walked down the busy streets of Richmond Virgina.For hours, I watched from the recesses of my more human counterpart’s mind as we ventured from Belle Isle to East Cary St. Since losing Caris to an instinct that drove all grieving mothers crazy, we’d found ourselves just as lost as our chosen was. Our actions over the last few months was a testament to how adrift we both seemed to be as well. Women were in and out of whatever bed we chose to lie in for the night, and it wasn’t just limited to Richmond. In truth the large city-a place closest to our home was the next stop in a seemingly neverending trip of our latest conquests.It was no secret that our bitterness was egging on the need to bed and bleed almost every woman that had the unfortunate opportunity to meet Alastair. Oddly enough, this trail of adulterous affairs all led back to Caris. If one can believe, this whole time we’d been searching for her

Alastair:“A true…mate,” said John, bringing me out of my reverie of the past. “A human mate?” he repeated almost incredulously.Surely his reaction was warranted. It was hard to believe for me as well. At the time, at least. I looked at John who seemed to be unable to wrap his mind around the fact that I had been trying to come to terms with for over twenty years now.“I imagine even in human form, the mate bond is powerful,” John finally said but with obvious doubt in his mind.“Powerful?” I scoffed, shaking my head. “It was…I have no other way to compare it to that of an inhuman on inhuman mating bond. I’ll say that a chosen bond harbors no comparison, however. It was...unworldly."

Ares: Yet another run through Shadow Veil’s forest to clear out an infestation. The release was well worth it. However, it was time for the pack to take rest.“Send everyone back to the packhouse for the night,” I told Zev as the pack ran in formation toward the path leading to the exit of the forest.I don’t know why I didn’t just connect wih the pack and make the order myself. It was just one of the many things that I had seemed to become lax on throughout the last year.“And where are you going?” Asked Zev.My brother seemed to notice that I started to pull away from the direction in which the pack was going. He already knew and he wouldn’t like my answer. I didn’t understand why he put himself through the stress of inquiring.“I won’t be long, Zev. Just need a minute alone.”I could hear my brother’s sigh through our telepathic link. “Try not to get too messed up tonight, Ares,” he said to me. “I am exhausted tonight. I’d actually like to rest tonight.”I could tell that Zevi w

“What is your full name?” I asked. “You never said.” I found myself curious.I knew that there was an elder who lived in Shadow Veil. I couldn’t help but wonder if Damian was of some relation to him. I’d heard from alpha Wade that he had an elusive son, and that they both were a prominent force in the community. Could he be one of the two?“Why would I disperse my surname so freely?” He asked rhetorically and then began wiping down the bar for the third time. “It would do neither you nor me any good for you to know it.”“Why don’t I believe that?” I said as I swished my alcoholic beverage in my grasp, watching him closely. Again, he seemed amused by my antics.“It really isn’t

Alastair:After the news that Merari served me at the restaurant, I quickly got out of there. John and Toran was about to follow but I wasn't so sure that it was a good idea. If Valene was as bad off as Merari seemed to think she was, I was not willing to risk anyone seeing her in such an unflattering light.“She’s been pillaging everything in her path! Her hunger is insatiable, and worst of all she’s almost completely without remorse.”As Merari stood there telling me everything that had been going on, there was obvious fear and frustration in her demeanor. She was worried about Valene and had every reason to be.“Do you know why she-”Before I could finish my question, she scoffed, rolling her eyes at me. “Do you really have to ask? As-as if she doesn’t have more than enough reason to be angry with the world?”“So do you, love,” I reminded her. “You’re not destroying things because of it.” Merari didn’t like what I’d said obviously. “There’s a simple explanation for that, Alastair.

Judging by the choice of words, I was quite sure that Merari knew the answer to her own question. I obliged her with an answer, nevertheless. “I love her more than my own life,” I confessed. “She…Valene,” I chuckled. “Sometimes, I…I think I depended on her more than my own beta and delta,” I admitted. “More than an amazing person, characteristically speaking, she was an extraordinary human, Merari. I cannot imagine how amazing she is now.”There was a hint of a smile teasing her lips, but it wasn't reaching. I hadn't earned my way to reaching. Yet."She definitely is rough around the edges right now," she said. "The girl's bitter, and rightly so," her once distant stare, regarded me. "She's not the same Valene that you once knew, Alas."

Vale:I didn’t realize how much rage was inside of me. Of course, I was angry-in my mind, though it may be bias of me, I had every right to be. Even in not fully knowing why I was so angry.My memory from before…I mean exactly before I died, it was severely flawed-damaged even. I knew who Alastair Wade was, I even recognized that insufferable Harlyn, a girl whom I’d grown to love in a way that, unfortunately I could not force out of my memory or my mind.I remembered the Lycan king; how could anyone forget him? His tall, brooding bulge of masculinity, and the subtle resentment of the world in his hard and yet beautiful eyes. I was hard-pressed to confess that thinking about him and our controversial situationship

Alastair:When Merari expressed to me the difference of her appearance before, I didn’t realize how literal she was until that moment.I could hardly contain myself as I watched in the distance, the young woman that I’d raised from a babe up, standing there with the tale of a grim story written in her eyes.She was angry and rightfully so. I could tell that she was like a rare bird, waiting for one of us to make one move before she fluttered away never to be seen again.“Val-”“Vale,” she corrected me. Apparently, she didn’t want to live by that name anymore and I could do very little but respect it.“Vale,” I quickly corrected m
