#Chapter291AS HIGH AS BIRDSAfter I shifted and put on the clothes Brody gave me, I healed his chest. It wasn’t a deep injury, it would have healed perfectly on its own in time, but I liked the fact I could take the little pain he had away.I strolled behind Brody and Callie as we walked the streets. I didn’t know where we were. Because I had to keep my identity hidden, I never really travelled anywhere; although I’m so okay with staying in the country side. The smells surrounding the city were definitely questionable, and there was so much noise. Aside from the smells and noise, the city was beautiful.There has been so much that’s happened the last couple of days. I haven’t had a minute to actually let everything settle with me. Finding out I have not one but two powers was shocking. I know some, like the dark wolf, have powers, but I never thought I’d have anything. Who knows exactly what I can do, there’s never been a hybrid. There is no history, no lore, we’re none th

#Chapter293FOREVER IN YOUR DEBTI slowly stepped down the stairs, keeping tight hold of Callie. My eyes darted between everyone, unsure of who to look at. No matter who I looked at, my eyes kept landing on Corbon’s.As I reached the bottom step, I passed Callie to Brody. I tucked Callie’s hair behind her ear and smiled at her. I turned and glanced at my family. Corbon stood in a little in front with his arms outstretched and a huge smile on his face.I raced forward and into Corbon’s open arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around my back, holding me up as my knees buckled. Sobs racked through my body as I buried my head into his chest.Corbon took a deep breath. “I have missed you so much.” He breathed out in relief as he pulled away slightly.I wrapped my arms around him, brought him back to me, and sniffled.“Me too, Coby.”Mum and Dad circled us both and wrapped their arms around both of us. I breathed deeply, taking in their scents, letting a calmness wash o

#Chapter295WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOUBrody’s POV.I followed King Alarix through the palace. It was huge, I don’t think I have ever seen something so grand. When I think of palaces, I imagine old fashion colour schemes, but this isn’t anything like it. The palace is modern and open planned, lots of space.“Just around this corner.” King Alarix mentioned over his shoulder.I nodded and smiled at him. My mind kept going back to the reunion between Alora and her family. Everything we went through getting out of that place, seeing them all together, was so worth it. I don’t think I have ever seen a mum and dad fawn so much over their children. It was heartwarming to witness.My dad died when I was young, so I don’t remember anything about him. Callie’s dad tried, but my mother wasn’t very maternal, so she complained whenever he showed Callie an ounce of love and affection.Our children need to grow up to be leaders, do not make them weak.Showing love and affection does

#Chapter297STUPID SOUNDPROOF ROOMSI introduced Callie to the boys after getting the sweetest hello from them. They definitely missed me as much as I missed them. All four of them clung to me for ages. But the meeting between Callie and the boys was cute and warmed my heart. They were certainly excited to meet her. They got on really well, and I knew they would do.We spent time playing in the playroom while Brody was with my dad. I was glad I was with them, because it took my mind off my dad and Brody; it kept me occupied enough that my mind wasn’t constantly thinking about what is being said. I know Brody won’t tell them anything about what happened to me, but part of me wishes he did, because then I wouldn’t have to. Although Brody doesn’t know everything, I mean, he gets the gist of it, but he wasn’t always there."I’ll be there when you tell them. I’ve got your back." Allie cooed."I’m so lucky to have you."When Brody came to the playroom, I heard him and Corbo

#Chapter299THE PLACE IS A MAZE“Lila, sweetheart, wake up.”My eyes shot open, and I stared blankly ahead at Brody’s chest; we must have fallen asleep. It took me a few seconds to register, it was my mum’s voice. I peered over my shoulder. My mum was standing beside my bed, awkwardly shuffling side to side on her feet.I sat slowly to try and not wake Brody, and turned completely to Mum.“Everything okay?” I asked.“I’m sorry, Lo.” She sighed, “I didn’t want to enter your room without your permission, but it’s important, baby.”“Sure. What’s wrong?” I asked.She shook her head and took a deep breath.“Dad is waiting for us in his office.”I raised my brow, then nodded.“Okay, give me a minute,” I sighed.I leaned forward and grabbed the comforter from the bottom of the bed and pulled it over Brody.“Brody should probably hear this as well.” She mumbled.“Meet you at Dad’s office then?” I suggested.Mum nodded her head and took a deep breath
