It took half an hour for me to stabilize, to get my mind in order. I quickly wrote the letter to all the packs for them to get ready for the evacuation, take as little as they can. When that letter was sent, I rushed down and luckily some women had began taking out the Amaryllidaceae plants we had got just a few days back. They were grinding it to a paste that the warriors would be painted with.I joined the crew, picking my own rod and smashing the tree and its bulbs until all were done, leaving the paste in the large mortars where we would scoop them when the warriors were ready.Everyone was running around the pack, all packing their things, getting their families ready while the warriors shot even louder, training harder because in a few hours they would be heading out. Even thinking about it made me so sad. I turned, washing my hands to quickly make my way back to the castle. I did not even know where to start. I did not know what to take with me when running. There were so many

My eyes shifted from the paste in the bag to the pair of bare legs before me. My eyes moved up, seeing the black shorts then more skin with that chest which I wished I had lay my head on more. I stared at the arms I wished had held me many more times. My eyes then lay on that gorgeous face. It was hard to breathe, hard to function with our eyes just locked together.Everything hurt; the conversation we had last had and the fact that he was leaving.We stared at each other for the longest time. I felt so many different things that would have me cry but I did not. I just swallowed, staring over at his body and seeing that he was clean. His hair was still wet from the shower he took. I frowned, he took way too long but alas.My feet moved, my hand with the paste raised. I placed it on his chest and stared back up at him. His eyes were still on me and it had me nervous. The world seemed to float away all around us leaving just him and I. I was trapped in his gaze, just staring into his

We could have stood there for days and they would not have come back. We could have waited there for hours on hours praying but they were not coming back thus we had to prepare for the worst yet I was too weak to even open my mouth, none the less move. My arms wrapped around my torso, cold to the core, not sure if it was from the temperatures or being apart from my mate. I could feel the distance grow with the large hole widening in my chest along with the unbearable emptiness that threatened to drive me insane.Fur brushed against my cheek and I leaned over, the warmth from Fluffy transferring to me and giving me a bit of strength. The tears came back, just falling with no sound but crying would not change anything.It was painful on everyone but the warriors had left their families in my care, to take them to safety, to protect them. It was their last wishes I believed and the king had bestowed the people on me. It was the least I could do and I would do it well. I wiped my tears, s

The silence was scary. The darkness as if to spit all kinds of evil to swallow us. The trees seemed to be weeping, probably smelling all the blood that had been spilled on that night.The fear— the fear of what might just happen any moment kept me going. My limbs were as if to fall apart but I did not care.They could have been ripping my mate and all the people I loved to shreds just at that very moment. I could collapse on the floor any second right there and I would have lost everything. It all would have been for absolutely nothing. I had to get there, I had to get to them.The screams were like a siren, letting me know that I had arrived. It was like a welcome song that was so wicked I went cold where I was. I knew I could not bare what I was about to see but I had no chance of delaying because one second could have made a big difference. I ran on only to stop over a hill, looking down at the battle field. There were so many of our wolves, pulling hearts, fighting hard, claws ou

Nothing could have stopped me.No one had to tell us as we sprung after them. They ran away like cowards, springing so fast all they left was cold air but we were after them. I could not stop, the only word in my head was to get my queen. I knew she was still alive. I could feel the pain, I could feel the exhaustion. It was to the point where I was afraid she would let go. I was afraid she would leave us. I could not lose her, I could not…It was not the time to think, pushing further but we were no match to the vampire’s speed. They were opening the gap very wide, eating away the miles back to their kingdom. We could not let them go, we could not let them enter their kingdom. The panic made me jump over, groaning with the miles eaten away. My wolf would never allow me to let her go and I wished for the very first time that I still had my cursed beast. He would have tore through the land as if it was nothing.I groaned harder, my wolf head lowering with the speed hitting the peak.I c
