Silas knew he would face punishment, but since Catherine got pregnant, he refused to let her emotions rule her judgement. Circe had to die. Attacking the Tatiana was illegal, and punishable by death, and he was the one who promised to carry out the punishment. What he did not expect was for Zion to take her side. Thinking of a fitting punishment for Circe would place stress on her while she was pregnant. Though Silas hoped to get out of their marriage, too. Part of him still wondered what to do. It felt like something was happening to his heart, and anytime she was near, he almost lost control. So, his reasonings were selfish.“Why did you do it?” Zion wondered, narrowing his eyes through the cage with which they held Majyk foes. “You knew Catherine wanted to help her, Silas. Things were working out.”When Silas turned to face Zion, however, Zion’s expression changed and realization crossed his features. Of course, Zion would understand. I

~~~~~ Despite being an Earth Dragon, Gunther had wings. He could soar far above the clouds, giving Catherine a much-needed break from the whines of the whelps. He took it slowly, his huge wings flapping, displacing the surrounding clouds. Gunther glanced over his shoulder for a second to see the bright smile lighting his wife’s features; her purple eyes sparkling with her glee. It was that smile he lived for. That happiness. He angled to the side, turning his attention forward. Zion would never forgive him if something happened due to him being distracted. ‘Thank you, Gunther.’ He could feel her small body relax against his spine as they flew. ‘I needed this.’ Good. She was happy. After they left the pups with the nursemaid and got Zion’s and Silas’s approval for a reprieve, Gunther picked a nearby mountain to fly her to for a few days’ rest away from the hustle and bustle. It was something he had been working on for a while now to see her s

They feared her. The Tatiana. Her brothers, Uncles, and Father were protective, but she wanted to protect herself. She was ‘special’, she was ‘different’. That was what Uncle Silas said. Elvenia did not know what that meant, but she wanted no part of it. She wanted to run in the woods with her brothers, play in the trees with her Fae friends, and dance the night away. But those outside her mom’s circle were mean sometimes. So, her knees knocked together as she approached her mother.       “You called for m-me, M-Mother Catherine?” She could not help but shiver in fear as she stuttered over her words. “Ah! S-sorry!”   “Mother Catherine? Elvenia, you’re my daughter. You can call me mom, or mommy, or whatever you want.” Beautiful purple eyes turned towards her, wide with apparent shock. “Did your Alpha change that?”   “N-No, some of the p-pack said it... oh, but it’s fine! Dad said it helps build c

Silas was growing annoyed quickly. This was why he wanted to avoid cities and packs for as long as possible. There were so many other things he needed to do besides putting weaker males in their place. He always hated this aspect of their society and wished it could change, but he refused to allow a weak male to touch Catherine. Unlike his wife, Silas doubted the strength he saw in the Omega Pup, too. But there was something different to the young Elvenia’s Lias. Something to her energy that seemed to make her desirable to some of the younger males. “Why am I worrying over that pup?” Silas wondered, walking into a nearby shop to purchase something he had his eyes on for a while. “Ah, yes.” “No.” “I do not care that your mother is the Tatiana, or that she ordered Omegas to be treated with respect. Your kind are not allowed in here.” A male yelled, causing Silas to glance over at the scene. “Get out.” “I said no.” Elvenia countered, her back straighteni

~~~~~ Despite having a rough time leaving the pack town, once the pups saw the rolling hills, bright blue skies, and scenery, they were no longer against the trip. But now they were running everywhere in their wolfish forms, bounding between the trees, jumping high in the air, and giggling wildly. Even Elvenia joined in the fun, her white fur sparkling bright in the noon sun. She was beautiful, unbelievably so, as she landed in front of the carriage, making the driver stop.“What’s wrong?” Catherine wondered, watching as Zion appeared in the window. “Are we under attack?”“The pups picked up a strange scent. Nathan and Isaac are checking it out now with Silas and Gunther.” Zion confirmed before staring deep into her eyes. “Stay put.”It was not an order she could follow. Catherine could hear the screech of a dragon nearby, and something told her all was not right. Without waiting, she ste
