Diablo takes them back to his place.he takes Holene to her guest room, for a nap. Luna and Rora, admire the cave. He built a cozy mention inside a cave.
Theo is skeptical, “You're the son of the king of the werewolves, and this is your home?”Diabo is irritated, “I don’t live with my father. I don’t live off of my father. We haven’t even spoken in over a year.”Theo crosses his arms, “And why not?”Diablo mimics him, “My dad isn’t what he used to be. He’s obsessed with finding Jolene. He’s out of control and uses cruel and unusual punishments on wolves that don’t deserve it.Theo studies him for a moment and then decides to drop it. He walks to Jolene's room and peaks in on her. He watches her for a moment and can’t contain his smile. She starts to move and he speed walks to his room.Jolene's eyes open, she looks around and sees that she's alone. She shakes off that feeling like someones watching her, and she drifts back to sleep.Luna and Rora can't stop touching the wall. The cave echos with their giggles. Rora sings her chants. Luna touches the trickles of water and feels the textures.Luna whispers, “Diablo has been alone for a long time.”She doesn’t realize that he's behind her, “The water told you that?”She jumps from his sudden voice, “yes!”She smiles, “Water has stories to tell, as long as you are willing to listen.”He admires her as she continues to investigate.Theo joins Rora, “I don’t know about this..”Rora stops singing, “about what?”He takes a heavy breath, “This Diablo, character. What if he's trapping us. What if he’s going to use her to get back into the kingdom?”Rora shakes her head, “No, he left his father. He’s hiding from him, just like Jolene.”Theo gives her a questionable look, “how do you know?”Rora points to the dust, “I know a spell, the dust told me.”He wants to argue, but he’s learned that Rora is all about the truth. Instead, he goes to his room. He sits on his bed and channels his inner wolf.His wolf: I like her.Theo: Me too.His wolf: No, I like Jolene.Theo: Me too.His wolf: Stop leading Rora on..Theo: We’re just friends.His wolf: Does she know that?Theo: I never flirted!His wolf brings back memories from them giggling, and laughing. All the times she placed her hand on his knee and he never noticed. When they hug she gives kisses, but they're so soft he never noticed.Theo opens his eyes and starts to pace around the room. He can’t believe that he never noticed. He can’t break Rora’s heart, but he can’t have Jolene thinking he likes Rora. Would that be a bad thing? He can’t like Jolene anyway, he’s not her Soulmate.His wolf growls from deep within, but he ignores him.Hey stone off guard when Jolene asks, “When can we start our training?”His lack of trust, and Diablo causes him to be careful, “I’m not sure. We’d have to find a safe place first.”She starts to walk away, and all he hears is her shouting from down the hall, “Are you coming or not? There Has to be a place nearby.”He runs after her, “We can’t do it here!”She doesn’t agree, “Why not?”He doesn’t want to tell her that he doesn’t trust her brother, but she can see it in his eyes.She shrugs, “As long as you’re with me, then I am safe. Let’s go for a little walk into the woods, maybe we’ll find a spot.”He likes her eagerness, so he stops trying to fight her. They walk together for a while. They come across a river, and Jolene feels herself getting excited.“This is the spot,” she declares.He is skeptical, “Why this spot?”She blushes, “It’s ironic, don't you think we met in a spot just like this, so why not train at a spot like it too? I feel like all goddesses will be smiling at us while we train?”He didn’t think of it like that, but now that she puts it that way this seems like the perfect spot.They spend a few hours practicing. It is with Jolene laying on her back grounding in pain. Theo thumps down on the ground besides her and keep stop the heart filled laughter that escapes his chest.She asks, “What's so funny?”In between laughs he answers, “For someone that doesn’t know how to fight you are extremely strong and quick. I was expecting training you to be a difficult task, but for the first day that was awkwardly easy.”They both laugh. She turns to face him and subconsciously runs her fingers through his sweaty hair. He flinches at her gentle touch and runs off. She turns back on her back and stares up at the sun.She whispers, “I’m new to this, but I’ve heard of the earth goddess and the water goddess and the moon goddess, but is there a sun goddess?”A deep chuckle comes from the sky. Jolene jumps up and looks around but no one’s near her.A deep voice booms from the sky, “My name is Apollo, I am the sun God. I am not a goddess. I am a god.”Jolene should be terrified, but she feels honored, “It’s nice to meet you Apollo.”He replies, “The honor is mine. Please let Luna know that Apollo sent his regards and is watching over you as well.”Whispers thank you, and the warmth of the sun on her cheeks shows her that he is there.The excitement overflows her, and she runs to find Luna. She runs past Theo and she runs past Diablo. Both guys run after her because they are worried about her speed.She can’t contain herself when she sees Luna and shouts, “Apollo spoke to me!”Luna is filled with excitement, “When?”Jolene declares, “Theo and I were training and then he left. I started talking to the sun to see if there was a goddess and he laughed at me and told me that he’s a god not a goddess and we had a nice little conversation but then he told me to let you know that he will be protecting me as well.”Luna and Rora are so excited that they wrap their arms around Jolene.After a few days of being with Diablo at his house, he stresses to everybody, “I will admit that we are safe here, but it’s not doing any good. We need back up, we need an army, we need to be better prepared.”Diablo agrees, “You’re right, but we need wolves, we don't need witches.” Rora debates, “I agreed that we need wolves, but we also need witches, too”Theo suggests, “ What if we go to my old clan and see if they’ll help us?”Luna is confused, “I thought you killed all of them?”Theo is slightly amused, “No, that was not my clan. There was a she wolf, and she was in love with me, and she got jealous, because she thought that her and I should have been married, because neither of us had found our mates.”Diablo laughs, “You sly dog!”They all start to laugh.Rora does her little chants and items start to pack themselves.Diablo seems sad, “You’re leaving?”Luna encourages, “You can come with us?”Theo doesn’t look like he agrees but Diablo asks, “Really?”Luna blushes and runs h
*Two days later*Jolene is starting to lose faith in those that promised to protect her. One of the werewolves walks by the curtain and it moves. It allows a little ray of sunshine to sneak in. As the heat hits her face she thinks of Apollo.The sun burns so bright, it causes the curtain to set fire. The whole building starts to shake and water seeps in through every crack. Wild and deadly vines start to kill the werewolves one by one. She hears screams and Luna comes barricading through the walls and demands, “Get out!”Jolene smiles at the sight of her but listens and runs.Her wolf takes over and she runs right past Diablo Jr.He follows her, “How is this possible? Our father didn’t even do this? You are so much stronger than him!”At this point she doesn’t care, “Forget about him! He’s no father to me!”He howls in agreement and leads her to safety.When they get where they need to be he tells her, “when you left, Theo took it hard!”Jolene is confused, “How?”He shakes his head
Jolene is thrown down to the ground, but she gets back up, and rushes at Apollo with all her strength. He barely moves out of the way, but she surprises him by taking him out by his ankles. She jumps on top of him and holds him down.Apollo smirks at her, “You know, I let you win?”Jolene snickers, “and why would you do that?”He brushes his lips against her ear, “I like you in this position.”She accidentally lets out a passionate breath.He flips her over, smirking down at her, “Who am I kidding?”She looks confused until he leans down and she feels his hot breath on her lips, “I like this spot too.”He gives her a passionate kiss and for a moment, she forgets where she is.Luna and Diablo walk into the room and dramatically cover their eyes, “Come on guys, get a room!”Apollo pulls away from her and gives her a look.She pushes him off of her, “No! I have told you a hundred times, I am not ready for that!”Luna is shocked, “What happened to waiting for your mate?”Diablo answers fo
Apollo and Jolene are having dinner with Luna and Diablo. They are laughing when the moon Goddess appears. Apollo stands up to welcome her, but is cautious by her vibes.He gives her a chance to speak and she does, “Shane on you, Apollo!”He sarcastically points to himself, “Me?”She laughs? “You know what you did!”He shakes his head and sips his wine.She turns to Luna, “Diablo has teamed up with the vampires!”Luna makes a disgusted noise, “That’s just wrong!”The moon Goddess adds, “They’ve kidnapped Theo!”Luna worries, “Rora?”She shakes her head, “Just Theo!”She turns to Jolene, “They know he’s your mate!”Luna questions, “How?”She shrugs, “The vampires have their own witches!”Luna scowls, “Traders!”The moon Goddess informs her, “It’s the queen..”Luna stands up, “It’s time for me to take back my place as queen!”Diablo gets excited, “That’s my girl!”The moon Goddess turns to Jolene, “It is your time to become queen!”Jolene can’t get the words out because she is too focus
Jolene stares up at the castle. She’s been told 100 times that this is going to be hers. She knows that patience is a virtue. First she has to save her future king. She says this was sarcasm to herself because she knows who her real king is.The moon goddess can’t join them on this quest, because as the creator of the wolves, she can dictate what she wants, but she cannot control them or their actions. Luna and Diablo have put together this plan.They go storming in right from the front gate as a distraction. Jolene goes from the back. Everyone is trying to fight out the powerful Luna and Diablo has learned a little bit of magic Jolene snakes in the back. She uses her connection to try to find him. Diablo reassures her that this is how she can find him quickly.Jolene, on the other hand, is struggling with it because her bond with Theo is not complete and it’s not very strong. She uses the invisibility spell that Luna had taught her and she walks around listening to overhears two wolv
Theo continues to follow Jolene. The nights and days are so cold. It causes Jolene to get sick. She starts to breathe heavily. She refuses to allow the water to warm her up. She starts to breathe slowly, and Theo gets worried, and without her permission, he forms the bond.Jolene is so weak that she just allows it. They're so strong she can’t even deny it. Snuggle and nozzle and sweet kisses yourself starting to hate him a little less. She falls asleep, and she dreams of sunshine and puppies.She’s woken up by the brown being broken. She’s cautious and slow and she just tries to listen before she reacts. She wants to know what’s going on before she jumps up. She hears Luna and Diablo. It takes all of her not to grunt. She’s about to jump up and tell them to go away until she hears Roras voice.She listens as she speaks to Theo, “I know this isn’t going to end well. I know you will never accept it and that is your mate but I need you to know that this is your baby…”She can’t control
Diablo and Theo went hunting, leaving the ladies to talk. Rora is cautious when approaching Jolene. Luna watches from a distance. Jolene looks up from her potatoes that she's peeling, and acknowledges her with a smile. She sits next to Jolene and helps by washing some potatoes.Jolene whispers, “I’m not mad.”Rora looks up at her shyly, “You're not?” She shakes her head, “Do you really think that you raised a hypocrite?”She is confused and Jolene points to the sun, “Apollo is my forever love. Why would I be mad at Theo for doing the same thing?”She softly pulls Rora into a hug, “If it weren’t for you two, I would never have gotten to know him the way I did..”She pauses as the sun beams on her face. Rora watches her as she tilts her head and soaks it in. Rora asks, “Does he do that a lot?”Jolene slowly opens her eyes, “Do what?”Rora giggles, “Shine his light on you like that?”Jolene laughs, “He shines his light on everyone..”Rora shakes her head, “Not just now. Sure the sun is
Jolene accidentally whispers , “Apollo..”She knows it’s not him, but the appearances are so similar. It could be his twin.The young vampire smiles and shakes his head, “Nah.. that’s my dad.”Jolene gasps in shock and repeats, “Dad?”The moon Goddess clearly didn’t think this over when she didn't know how to respond.She tries to explain, “Do you remember that story about Apollo and the beautiful redheaded woman from over 1000 years ago?”Jolene is invested in everything she says as she continues, “This is Vlad, he’s their child from that relationship.”The young man smiles at her and he holds his hand, “Don’t worry Dad and I don’t really talk much with the time differences and such, but it’s an honor to meet you.”He seems sincere, so she shakes his hand.The moon Goddess excitedly claps her hands together, “Good! I have been waiting for this day, when the two of you would come together and fight!’They both laugh as she continues, “You are the ones that I have been waiting for!”
