“Are you sure it’s not a pack wolf or one of the coven” Alvin asks. “No I’ve never seen this person on the pack lands before?” Suddenly the person springs up to their feet with a ravenous look to him it’s a look the predator has when chasing its injured prey. “It’s a new blood no sudden movements it is in a feeding frenzy and we are looking like prime ribs right now” Marisha doesn’t listen she makes a run for the car it is a foolish mistake on her part vampires are known for their speed. “Alvin use your earth magic wrap it up in vines.” As he does this I start pulling magic from the earth I can hear the soft whispers of the dryads I then try to pull the energy from my necklace the energy ball is swirling in my hand I try to call forth and pull on the water energies. The new blood is thrashing in the vines and breaks free with its eyes set on Marisha until I throw the energy ball at the new blood to my surprise it misses. It lunges at Marisha just as Colton shifts and as it lunge

I have met with the coven in the training grounds it’s open yet secluded enough from the pack to get hit by a practising energy ball. Delilah has bought with her all the black tourmaline crystals the coven had on hand and requested anyone who had them on hand to use their own. We all made quick work of making a quick hemp macrame netted necklace so that we could use them now for practice the necklace makes it a lot easier to channel the energy from the crystal since a necklace is hands free and a loose stone would be to hard to keep safe during a battle so the necklaces just make sense. Everyone who has a necklace is broken off into one group while the ones who do not have necklaces yet will be in another group practicing pulling energy from the earth creating their energy ball and aiming. We have dummies out for targets I have them all aiming for the heart Delilah over sees this group while I take on the second group. Now you must have a clear mind if you have a nervous or frantic m

I turn away from Chase mindlinking Colton letting him know my necklace is glowing there’s obviously some type of dark forces in the area and we should leave for the pack now. Chase takes my elbow and spins me around leading us out of the arcade into the alley beside it. It stinks and is dark the only source of light coming from a single broken light flickering it’s eery and I wonder why chase choose to bring me out here.“You need to listen to me faith it’s not safe for you or your pack to be here after dark please go home now”I scoff and pull my arm out of his hand.“What and my pack lands are any safer? With all the new bloods you keep unleashing on our pack” My necklace is glowing brighter now and I’m starting to feel a little anxious and I can tell chase feels the same way. As chase opens his mouth to say something dark figures step out of the shadows towards me. I quickly mindlink Colton “the dark mages are in the alley way beside the arcade sos” Chases eyes now change pitch bl

My wolf runs into the field behind the pack house I’m feeling sad for Destin for the situation Colton and I are in and if I’m being honest with myself I don’t know how to navigate our situation we are in too deep but I don’t want him rejecting anyone should we not be mates. We need some distance right now to figure this out and I refuse to lay down and let life get the better of me so I run towards the training grounds and shift I’m going to remain focused and not let my personal life become the downfall of the pack. I find some spare training clothes we keep in the gym that’s currently shut but I need something to take my frustration and emotions out on so I’m going to hit the boxing bag for a while. I hear the door to the gym open but I keep my focus trained on the bag in front of me unforgiving when I land blow after blow. “Wow princess look at them gains” “When did you get out of hospital” “Just now I had to find you dad told me what happened what a train wreck” “Guess it was

It’s been weeks now since I’ve seen Colton it hurts less and less each day but I do miss him terribly the annual ball is in three weeks so I’ve been throwing myself into pack affairs, training and the ball preparations. The ball is three weeks away from now it falls on my birthday today the girls and I have decided to head into town to find our dresses before we are left with the fugly left overs it won’t be easy picking something since we choose an all white theme. It’s six in the morning so I sprung up to have a shower and dress for the day. I get out the shower as I come out towel drying my hair the familiar scent hits me along with a mix of emotions. Colton’s sitting on my bed looking depleted I want to run to him and throw my arms around him and let him know how much I have missed his presence but i hold back and opt for a cool and casual “hey” while I mentally cringe at myself. He snaps his neck to face me and his face drops I can see the pain his in and can’t comfort him and it
