SilasWe took Nadia to the pack hospital as fast as we could. She wasn't in horrible shape, but the doctor said that she and her wolf were exhausted from the long journey they took. The doctor suspects that she'll be unconscious for at least a day if not longer.I hope it won't take that long. I have the feeling something horrible must've happened for her to come out this way and run her wolf so hard.Christopher doesn't want to leave her side and I encourage him to stay near her. I know it will help him feel better, but it will also help her recover quicker being in her mates presence. It's been over 8 hours since we brought her here and Christopher hasn't slept a wink. His dad says, "Hey son, how about you go get us some coffee?"He snaps at him, "I don't want to leave her."His dad softens his tone, "You'll only be gone a couple of minutes. Please, son, get out of the room for a minute. Stretch your legs."Damon nods in agreeme

Silas Lux leads us into the village where there’s lots of children playing outside and parents watching from afar. Lots of the people greet their Luna and I notice that a few of the people seem to be relieved to see her. It makes me wonder how long it has been since they’ve seen her out of the packhouse. She is quiet, too quiet and it makes me feel uneasy. What has he done to you to make that bubbly personality disappear? Her hair looks unkempt, she has dark lines under her eyes, she is skinnier than the last time I saw her and honestly looks unhealthy for a werewolf. I wonder if she's allowed to train here, at the Royal Pack we always made accommodations for her to be able to still work out and learn how to fight. Even in her wolf form we worked on it before she left.  When was the last time her wolf was let out? I try to tune into my wolf to see if he could get through to feel her wolf out, but he pushed me out and I trust

Lux Shortly after Apollo left me Kodi forced me to shift. She lays our huge body on our bed and begins to pant as if she’s run around a bunch today.She closes our eyes and I gasp as I can hear Loki’s voice in my head: Kodi, Kodi, are you there?She responds eagerly: I’m here.We’re going to get you out of there. I promise. I won’t let you get caged up again.Kodi whimpers in response and I can’t help but wonder what he meant by ‘again’. He pushes an image in my head of this creature that has these weird things on her back. She looks beautiful though. Loki’s voice enters my head again: This is Genevieve. She’s my mate and she’s a fairy. She is going to come help you get to safety.Kodi chuckles: You seem happy.Very she’s perfect.Don’t have her come. Silas is alr

Lux I knelt beside Apollo and placed one hand on his face. I could hear his labored breathing and the sound of his heartbeat has slowed drastically.Tears begin to pour down my face, I never wanted this for him.He tells me through a strained voice, “I’m sorry I caged you. I just wanted to keep you safe. I never should’ve agreed to such a ridiculous scheme.”“It’s okay, it’s okay, Apollo. You’ll be alright, just hang in there, okay?” My heart is breaking seeing him so weak. He may have hurt me and done some wrong things, but he doesn’t deserve to die. Kodi whimpers in my mind and I know she is feeling a lot of pain over the potential loss of our mate. “I love you, Lux.” He murmurs and I can hear his heartbeat is getting slower and I call out, “Mom! Mom!”My mom rushes to my side and asks in a panic, “What is it, darling?”

Lux I sit by Apollo and hold his hand. I don’t know how to fix things or make it better. At the end of the day, once he has recovered enough, I do plan to reject him. I don’t want to give him false hope that somehow things will work out.I hear his soft groan as he comes to and then he says my name with a surprised tone, “Lux.”I brush my hair behind my ear as I say, “Hi Apollo.”His fingers graze my hand and he says, “I can’t believe you’re here.”I nod as I say, “I needed to make sure you were okay.”It takes a moment before he responds and he asks, “Where am I?”“We are at the Royal Pack. An attack broke out at Bloodlust… you somehow got grazed by a bullet that had wolfsbane in it.”He groans, “Son of a bitch… your brother’s okay though, right? I was trying to protect him.”
