Violet Xavier tries to make a run for it. He rushes to the soul chamber, cutting his hand as he does so, confirming Charlie’s suspicion that it needs blood to activate. If he has the power of the souls on his side then he might be able to take us. I don’t know how much power those souls can give, but it has to be a lot if he thinks it will give him a shot. Instantly, Phoenix and my dad are on his heels, prepared to kill. My dad’s wolf crashes into Xavier, making his face slam into the glass chamber and as Xavier body slides to the ground, my dad’s wolf puts his throat in his mouth. Still aware of everything going on, the wolf looks up to Phoenix, waiting for Phoenix to confirm the death. Phoenix presses his lips together and gives him a single nod, confirming the kill. Without hesitation, his wolf’s teeth pierces through Xavier’s neck and rips it out. It’s like the weight in the room is lifted as this death officially ended Xavier Black’s reign of terror. There's a lot of us in th

Magnolia I don’t know what happened, but after Violet’s body got in it’s meditative state it’s like the tension in the air just grew thicker. I don’t understand why though. Xavier’s finally dead, isn’t that what everyone in this room wanted?Yet, Penelope is pissed that her daughter has accepted Phoenix as her mate. She views Phoenix like an enemy even though he hasn’t done anything to make her think poorly of him. I think she’s so lost in the fact he’s Xavier’s blood that she can’t see him for who he truly is.Donovan recognizes this. He tries to argue with her, standing up for Phoenix, and the whole time that she says things like how the goddess must’ve made a mistake, Phoenix remains quiet. He stays focused on Violet the entire time.You can tell that he’s listening to them because occasionally Penelope would say something that would strike

VioletWe finally made it across the bridge. It felt like we stayed over those starry waters for a lifetime and I am so grateful to be on the other side. The temptation to jump in the water got overwhelming at times. But my wolf, Selene, helped push me forward. She reminded me of the people following behind me and how I am meant to be a shepherd. I cannot fail them.Now that we’ve made it across, we come to another stop in our journey. There is a wall made up of clouds in front of us. I frown as I stare up at this wall, a small part of me feels like it has to be some kind of trap and that it’s set up to trick me, but… where else am I supposed to go? How else am I going to lead these people?Selene doesn’t feel nervous, she feels at peace. But I hate how she doesn’t talk to me and guide me through these conflicting feelings I have.I breathe out, knowing that I need to do this. I look to the first person in the line and I link my arm with them. I look to the line behind us and I say, “

MagnoliaBeatrix woke up shortly after Phoenix called for Phillip Everest. She was incredibly disoriented, she wanted her brother to help her, it’s like she completely forgot what she had done. I know that the hit she took to the head was hard and I couldn’t help but feel a little bad for her as Phoenix turned his head away from her and refused to acknowledge her.When Phillip came into the room Phoenix asked him to take Beatrix away and put her in the pack hospital. He ordered that she be put in a secure room so she could not escape and asked that she be put in a medically induced sleep. He knew she needed rest, but couldn’t deal with the aftermath of her healing right now.When Phillip was done with Beatrix he came back and Phoenix told him about my family coming. He told them that the Renegade Pack comes in peace and to let them through and to welcome them. That I would handle anything and inform him if the Renegade Pack had any needs.Phillip does as he was told to do. He seems li

Violet I was dead. I know that I was dead. I stopped breathing, that starry water drowned me. I saw the moon goddess look at me with sympathy because I didn’t make it. My wolf walked over and sat by her side. The moon goddess placed a hand on my wolf’s head and smiled at it, a spark lit up between them and I realized in that moment that my wolf was named Selene because she truly is a part of the moon goddess Selene. I have so many questions swirling in my mind, that I was unable to ask because out of nowhere, it’s like I was given a lifeline. I saw it, a bright yellow rope, a tether to bring me back home. I grasped onto it, holding tight until I was brought back to life. When I was thrusted back into my earthly form, I notice an intense stinging in my neck. I hiss and try to gasp for air, needing to feel it’s relief flow through me, but instead, I immediately throw up. I cough up this midnight blue water, tears sting my eyes from my violent heaving as that evil starry water gets e
