“I’m afraid nothing can truly eradicate something that evil completely.” said Master Brock, his tone sad, we all look at him.
“There will always be dark where there is light, there will always be evil where there is good.” said Alpha Andrew.
“So while Lucian and Luna, with the help of the other Supernaturals, put an end to their very long reign over the world….they couldn’t end them completely.” said the Luna. na
“Very few Black Magic Witches escaped from that war.” said Master Sam, “Without Lucian and Luna, with their Primal Powers, we would have lost that war.” Master Sam said, her tone serious.
After a moments pause she continues grimly. “Our lives today would be very different, humans would have been enslaved still, and those Witches would be using Werewolves and Vampires, especially hybrids, as magical conduits.” The thought of that being our lives sent a shiver down my spine.
I would not allow that to happen, I now knew why the Goddess reopened our connection to the elements that had originally birthed the Werewolves…and Vampires. I look at my little brothers, all of them under the age of eighteen, all Vampire Hybrids.
They would be powerless against the Black Magic Coven at their current level.2
With that in mind I stand up and call forth Selena, I made visible the ties that bonded me as sister to my brothers, and I strengthened them. Kass and Bella, now that I had claimed them as Clan, had extremely strong bonds to me already, now for my brothers. “Brace yourselves my little brothers, I will give you the means to protect yourself against the great evil that is coming for us.” We say in our echoing mystical lyrical voice.
The Adults are all looking at me, they had paled at my words, it was a foretelling. “The Goddess granted me this gift to protect our way of life, to survive the coming war. We must triumph over this Coven once again, or the world will die at their hands, destruction and absolute power their only goals, and they will stop at nothing.” I impart that prophetic knowledge, then I awaken all my brothers powers.
My brothers collapsed at the pain their awakening power caused them. After a moment, one that almost felt like an eternity, their pain past and they sat there a moment groaning, rubbing various limbs like they ached. “I will not allow the Black Magic Coven to have you.” Our tone, with the echo, was firm, a vow. Done, I allowed Selena to fade back, then sat back down. (2
With all the power I had used, I was starving. The only problem was….all the stares, I look at everyone. Some had looks of shock, some of amazement, and a few in worry. The worry came from the Alpha, the Luna, Master Brock and Master Sam. I turn and look up at my mate, he looks worried too. Damien puts an arm around my waist, drawing me tightly to his side, like he was expecting me to disappear at any moment.
I look at him confused “What’s worrying you my darling?” I asked him softly, reaching a hand up to stroke his cheek. He brought his hand up to hold mine to his cheek, nuzzling my hand with closed eyes, as if he was savoring the feeling of my touch. I felt my face melt into a soft loving smile meant only for him.
His gaze meets mine, his look intense “I can’t loose you my Starlight. Words have power, and so much meaning can be packed into them, I’m worried something is coming to take you away from me.” he tells me, his voice rough with his emotions. I felt how truly worried he was through our bond, his emotions broadcasting loud and clear.
“If I’m ever taken, you’ll just have to come and get me, and I will never stop trying to get free to reach you.” I tell him. He looks at me for a while, studying my face, then he nods. 2
“I would never stop looking for you Starlight, I would find you, and I would bring you back home with me, where you belong.” he tells me, then he places a gentle kiss on my lips, raising back up, he meets my gaze again “Eat mate, your starving and I’ll not have that.” ‘Goddess’ the things this male does to me with his care and words.

Everyone had quietly gone back to eating during our exchange. With a blush staining my cheeks, I dig into the plate my mate had piled with food for me. The others started to converse, the boys asking questions of the Adults and other wolves. Everyone was patiently answering their questions, even laughing at some. It was a joy filled event, and I threw myself into enjoying it.
“Oh, I wanted you all to know that we are having dinner here in the formal dining room, tonight at seven sharp. I want everyone there, there will be a few guests coming too.” says the Luna.
“Who’s coming.” Darien asked her.
“Serenity’s Parents, Xander’s, Beatrice’s Parents, Jaxon’s Parents and Victors as well.” said the Luna “It’s going to be a meet and greet and a celebration at the same time.” she says sounding excited.
I smile wryly, well it had to happen eventually, guess tonight was the night for that. Tomorrow night we had other obligations that would be in a far less relaxed atmosphere. I hoped my father arrived early. I wanted to spend time with him before all the hop that comes with a visiting Dignitary. My thoughts were broken by Kass’s gasp. I look at her and she’s sitting straight up looking at me with a shocked and horrified look on her face. (3)
Confused I ask “What is it.”
“I almost forgot! Mom’s gift!” She starts digging in the cross body satchel I just noticed she was wearing, looking for something.
Then she pull’s out a rectangular blue velvet box with a look of triumph on her face. Then she hands me the box “My mom wanted you to have this, my mom has a gift’ for gifting people magical items they later need.” Kass tells us.
“So do you.” says Bella
“Not like mom.” she replies back.
“Remember the breathing stone you gave Nathen?” she asks her.
“Breathing stone?” I ask aloud.
“Yeah, she made Nathen a breathing stone one time. Then she gifted it to him on his fourteenth birthday, saying it felt like it needed to belong to him.” Bella said.
“And it’s a good thing she did.” says Nathen “If not for that stone I would have drowned in a freak accident caused by a landslide after weeks of rain.” he says “I got trapped in the water, and because I had that stone pendent around my neck, all I had to do was put it in my mouth and it provided me with fresh oxygen. It was the weirdest feeling, breathing without breathing. But I was able to get free and make it back to the surface alive.”
Well now, that made me wonder what was in this box. If Kassandra gave such a life saving gift to her brother, because the item had ‘felt’ like it needed to belong to him, what had Kass’s mother given me?
Alora’s POV
I open the box and I find two beautifully crafted rings, they had intricately knotted designs surrounding them. The designs matched the ones on my Lunar Princess regalia, they had an infinity lock on them. They immediately felt very important to me. I look up at Kass. “They’re beautiful, and I feel the power of them, what do they do?” I asked her.
“Mom left a note in the box and some instructions too, it’s under the cushion. But they basically absorbed any of your magical leavings and store it. If you ever find yourself completely drained of power, you can use what’s in the rings to restore yourself.
Mom also said their is a way to feed it power, so it stores more faster, the instruction for that are there also. Dad seemed to think that was necessary, because he’s the one who asked her if it was even possible to do that.” Kassandra says.
