“No, you are not crazy, Elyn. I know that. But-” “Wait.” I grabbed the stone from him and the two pieced merged together and it glowed. Red light scattered along the room. “There is one more part,” Ares said with a sigh. “And yes, you are right. This isn’t random.” “I wonder what the hell this is. Have you seen anything like this before?” Ares shook his head. “No, I haven’t.” “Let’s find books and read about it.” Ares took a step towards me and I sighed as my eyes fluttered. “Honestly, Elyn, I love reading. But that is not what I want to do tonight, not after what we were doing outside just before the spirit interrupted us. Everything kept happening so fast, and I can’t- I want to feel this, feel you,” he growled with a dangerous look in his eyes that made me think of all the things he could do to me. I laughed and then my laughter died when I felt him kneeling down in front of me. His hands caressed the inside of my thighs.He bunched my dress up, and I groaned as his fingers

(PRINCE ZIEN) Meera looked at me, her eyes knowing, and I sighed. Of course, I knew. Elyn Frost. I mean, her shadow had found her already and mine was still nowhere to be seen. I thought finding the shard could help, but now the shard was like an adamant baby. She had always been a part of this plan, of course. From the very first moment, she was conceived. I knew about it way later from my mother, but I knew. I still remembered the night when thunder boomed, lightning flashed. The storm was violent, roaring. The darkness was blinding, but the lightning was just as fierce. Years later, my mom told me, she saw a wolf woman and Vincys together that night, and what her words actually meant. That somehow Elyn shall be the salvation. My uncle said the same. I didn't believe it, but still... "Should I let it go then? I must find her sooner rather than later, but I am going to find her, anyway." Meera gave me a look. "What if she doesn't want any of this, want you?" "You would like th

(ELYN) It felt like I had just closed my eyes, and went to sleep, but soon I was pulled out of my slumber by a loud, thundering noise. I groaned when I heard voices outside the door, and someone pounded on the door. Over and over. My head felt heavy and my eyes still burned from the lack of sleep. I groaned and stood up and walked towards the door. I put the hand on the handle and that was when I realized this was not my room, and Ares was still snoring softly despite the ruckus going on outside his door. "Ares?" It was Kai. And no way in hell was I going to open the door and reveal myself in this state. My wings were gone, but I still had white hair that looked like it was bleached and strange eyes. I softly padded back to where Ares was sleeping. "I could hear you walking back to bed, Ares." What the hell did he want? I softly patted against Ares's cheeks and his eyes flashed open. He gave me a big smile as he pulled me on top of him, as I kept shaking my head. He drowsily b

(ARES) "Uncle Ares, where is Elyn. I have been waiting for her," Azalea said as she ran towards me. I picked her up and she rested her head on my shoulder. "Don't know, cookie. She said she is coming to meet you." "Yeah, she came and I was just waking up. She said she will be back after a walk," Azalea said. "I have paints ready. We are going to draw mommy, again. Uncle Ares... I miss mommy," she whispered as she wrapped her arms around me and my heart gave a mighty tug. She rarely asked about her dad anymore. But it scared the shit out of me when she talked about him. I didn't know what exactly to tell her. I might be the mighty Alpha, but seeing Azalea cry would break me to pieces. I pressed a kiss to her forehead as I walked out with Azalea still hanging on to my neck. "We will find Elyn, okay, cookie, and then we will all paint together," I said, and she nodded. I walked towards the wood, greeting my pack members along the way. Azalea giggled every time someone called her litt

(REYNA) I stared at the mirror, my eyes narrowing in irritation and anger. Something didn't feel right. No, everything felt wrong. My mom was- I knew she never liked Elyn. So why would she go all the way to bring Elyn back? I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep. It felt like I was being sucked into a big hole and the hole was slowly, slowly growing. She was my sister. I knew she had loved me, and I loved her, but when she looked at me last night, her eyes full of disgust and accusation-no... "I need to talk with Elyn," I whispered to myself. "It doesn't feel right to not talk to her." Reva sighed. "You are making me mental with all your crazy thoughts. If you want to talk, talk with her." "But mom said..." "You know what I think of your mother, Reyna. She isn't the one you should listen to, especially when it comes to Elyn and you always knew that. You are going to be an Alpha, and I know you are strong, but sometimes, you are too naive, and you should stop being too naive and look
