Alley POV: So far the day has been productive, who would have thought Ember would have been the one to make the children relax a little more. They were all fed and had bathed and looked a lot better than they did last night. We have managed to keep Ember a secret by saying it's someone from another pack who is just more comfortable in wolf form, Ambrosia and Pythia are coming today so that we can update them on everything and we don't want them to know fully who Ember is. Danny is on cloud nine with his new little friends as he calls them, he has made sure to talk to each of them to make sure that no one felt left out like he once did. The element carriers have asked to speak with us all including Ambrosia and Pythia and while Stephen and the other men went to retrieve them the girls and I stayed back to make sure we had enough seating in the meeting room. "What do you think the news is that they want to tell us is?" Emma asked. "Honestly I have no idea, they said it isn't bad new

Alley POV: Pythia sent word that Leia was coming home today. Her parents and brother are at our house and we are all starting to get restless, all we have done lately is train and practice. Everything has been way too quiet which is starting to worry me. Danny has been more quiet which is also worrying me. I know he knows what is about to happen but he can't tell us so maybe his silence is a warning to us, him and Ember have made tremendous progress with the children. They all looked healthy and lively and it made me happy seeing them interact with everyone like they didn't have a fear in the world which is how children are supposed to be. I paced around the living room waiting for Leia to show up and time was just moving too slow. "Jeremy has pushed through to Nate, princess. I'm sorry your reunion with Leia won't last all that long." Stephen announced breaking me from my own thoughts. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Well in lack of better words Bosch is coming really so

Alley POV: I looked up to the women we were trusting with the children, "Keep them safe. You won't like me when I am angry." I stated, they bowed their heads in respect, Stephen and I turned around to see Ember in front of the door. "May the goddess be with you both. Be safe and clear minded and know we will protect the children." Ember said, looking at us. I walked up to her and wrapped my arms around her. "Thank you Ember. You be safe as well." I replied. "Keep them in good spirits Ember, we will see you all soon enough." Stephen said as he patted Ember's side. We walked out of the cellar and closed the door hiding them away from harm. "Rose it's almost time." I said hoping she would wake up, she has been quiet lately. "I am aware, do not forget that at some point we will merge. Listen to me if I say something or if you are injured I am taking over." Rose replied. I didn't plan on arguing with her, at least not this time. "They've just entered our pack as well as Chloes pack." Ja

Alley POV: "Are you hurt?" I asked scanning over her to see she had a cut under her eye and scratch marks down her arm, "For now no." She replied, trying to catch her breath. The witch I threw got back to her feet and at her side was another woman who looked very similar to her. "You bitch! You'll pay for that." She spat, "Sorry I don't pay people like you." I retorted and watched her face twist in anger, she scanned her eyes around us and I knew what she was about to do. The moment her eyes locked on mine I jumped in front of Cassandra throwing her backwards just as the witch appeared in front of me delivering her fist directly into my jawline so hard I stumbled backwards into the other woman who drove her knee into my back. I hit the ground face first knocking the wind out of me, one jumped on me and I guarded my face and body with each fist she drove down at me. I caught her right arm with mine yanking her down towards me as I drove my head straight into her nose. Blood gushed out

Alley POV: "Alley! Help him please!" Diane pleaded as I got closer, I hit my knees and looked him over, I didn't see any visible cuts or wounds. I placed my hands on his chest and could feel him breathing normally. "I think he is just knocked out for now. We need to get him inside." I said looking at Diane who had tears in her eyes. "I'll take him." She said before she disappeared. I jumped to my feet and looked around, it looked like a war movie with the amount of dirt being blown out of the ground. I need to get back to Stephen and Sammie. I darted towards them and I could see they were having a standoff with dark witches, I could feel the rage push through me, they have taken Jack and now Pierce. I wouldn't let them have Stephen or Sammie, the closer I got the better I could see them and I noticed one of them had a bag in her hand. She pulled her arm back ready to throw the bag, in the blink of an eye I appeared behind her snapping her neck before she could turn around. I grabbed
