Darius pov

As Amera and Yun are giving the presentation to the other Alphas, Damion and I are in Aros' room flying our orbs near Aro and James, where they are just standing at the barriers not doing anything.Drax is with Yun and Amera where their presentation and screen are going off on Draxs orbs floating around in the opposite side of were Aro is.

Aro honestly didn't miss a beat when she told me she wanted to give me something that would be good for everyone. I just didn't think it would be her technology and defense systems.

She explained it so clearly that even dad said it was a brilliant idea we could sell it to the other packs and set up an alliance with them to ensure peace for everyone.

Dad did voice out some packs would try to sell what they have or try to copy them, but Aro just voiced out she'd just kill them. No one on this planet had this type of technology and it ran off her power, so if they went back on their agreement she would shut down their systems and wipe them out with a destruction code, blowing up everything in that barrier.

Dad said it was a bit much and I just shrugged if that's what Aro wanted. I didn't care it was her technology anyway.

As we are watching Aro and James , nothing has happened in the past 10 minutes and Damion gets up from his seat and grabs a chocolate off Aro's desk and jumps back onto his seat as he goes to bite into it. We heard a loud BANG! I fall from my seat as Damion drops the chocolate falling to the floor.

I quickly got back in to my seat to see James on the ground at the barriers as he threw something through the barrier and it came back like a yoyo. What the hell just happened?

Seconds later, Draxs is in Aros' room huffing and puffing. He relaxes when he sees Aro floating midair and James on the ground.

What happened baby?? Is everything OK??

I link Aro

It works brother the barriers made that sound and it was only 2 hahaha we may have over done it on the power hehehe

I smiled, then laughed out loud

"That bang was the barrier. Aro said it worked perfectly. A couple of witches tried to cross the barrier"

Damion smiles as does Drax before we can enjoy the moment there's another louder BANG! I look to the screens and Aro is vibing out and the weather starts to turn dark.

I watch her closely and fly my orb towards her and directly in front of her so she knows it's me, her face is close up on my screen. She looks confused or lost and angry very angry.

I shake my orb and she huffs at the orb and turns to run off towards the waterfall.

" She's gone to the waterfall. She will be back when she's ready. Something must have happened."

I watch as Drax stands and walks straight out the door. He's going to Aro. I think I'll leave them. Drax will bring her back.

" Now we know the barriers work we should head back down and help Yun and Amera" I say, bumping into Damion as he tries to eat his chocolate again, making me laugh as he drops it.

Aroha pov

Why won't he give us any information about this demon? Why did he feel so familiar?I can't put my finger on it I know that power from somewhere but where?? And his eyes. I know I've seen them before..

I'm pissed off. I don't like having little to no information on someone.

Alice and Astro are very quiet as I storm off to the waterfall Alice is having a hard time trying to find more about this person and only one person she knows that may know something but we have to cool off or we might just run after that man and find out for ourselves.

King Alex wasn't making it easy at all for us he shut off his connection after demanding we stay away from him while on earth for Alice's sake.

Alice didn't understand either. She couldn't remember but she did say she has seen those eyes before but doesn't know where.

We make it to the waterfall and strip off our armour and jump straight into the water and swim to our cave.

I sat against the rock and tried to claim down.

I decided to project the girls out of my mind and into the cave with me. We needed to talk face to face. Im finding it hard to concentrate with all three of us thinking at once.As i close my eyes, I try to think about my neon realm when we where sleeping and slowly, the cave is covered just like that realm and i project both Alice and Astro out from my mind and, infront of me and as i do my mind becomes alot more silent.

Astro in her big beautiful white fur and shinning blue eyes, I noticed gold tips on the ends of her fur making her shimmer in the neon lights, looking very majestic as she is pacing circles around Alice is sitting in her death dealers get up but no mask on her face. She looks just like me but her hair was different it was now black with white tips. She had tattoos on her neck and piercing in her nose, the left side of her lip,her ears and her eyebrow. My eyes widen as she's sitting on the ground, legs crossed, arms crossed and frowning with her eyes closed.still searching for this Dayma Temprest person with her magic.

For someone who has 3 minds in one, sometimes it's a bit of an overload of information and sometimes we don't always agree on things, but we have learnt to listen to each other. I know we have a long way to go but communication is key in any relationship.

Alice and I do tend to disagree on things, but Astro is always our peace maker. She always listens to both sides and always tells us when we are acting like pups.

But this time we are all on the same frustrated level and, again, I feel like we have all this power and for nothing if we can't do what we want.

Alice was feeling the most frustrated because her own father told her to never meet that person on earth for her own good.

I sit up from the rock and shuffle towards Alice as Astro stops and notices where they are and walks over to me and nudges my face with her snout, making me giggle.Alice still has her eyes closed as Astrol lays next to me as I pet her.

"Hey Alice, do you think this Dayma person is in dad's realm?"

I ask her out loud with a smile on my face watching her reaction.She opens her eyes wide and looks around stunned and speechless. I smerk to myself one point to Aro.

"Aro how did you..?" Alice doesn't even finish her sentence as she jumps up and walks over to the rock and runs her hand over it and it glows brighter and the cave lights up like there is sun in here.

"Maybe Aro, but we won't know till we get there. I guess I can wait a couple more days. If he is from there, dad will sort it out before we arrive."

She steps towards me and holds her hand out. I take it and smile at her.

"It's finally nice to meet you Aro. I didn't know you could do this..I didn't even think about doing this..how did you??" I smile and hugged her tight. "Hi Alice, hahahaha, we are more connected than you think.As you are one with Astro, you are also one with me so we're all one with each other"

Astro barks at me and I laugh.

"It was something Astro told me while you were in hibernation and it made sense, so I would say it was a team effort."

James pov

When Aro left me at the barrier, I kind of got bored of just sitting and watching. Maybe we could make a program that has a constant floating orb that does the rounds of the barriers.

I throw up my own orbs and set them to rotate on the inside of the barriers with my watch. I have to keep the window open on my watch as I walk back to the packhouse.

As I was walking back to the packhouse, I saw Drax walking towards the waterfall. "Hey Drax, wait up.." I ran to him. He looks worried "are you good?" I ask. He just shakes his head.

"I've been trying to link Aro but she's blocked me out. I just want to know if she is ok?this is so hard. My wolf just wants to be around her and have her in our sights.but she always seems to get upset or mad and I'm trying to be a good mate. I'm trying to be there for her.." he sighs out and just plants himself on the ground not knowing what to do.

Ahhh the wolf side now. I know why Alice is a little stand off with Drax. I shake my head and smile at him, taking a seat in the dirt right next to him and stretched my legs out.

Poor Drax doesn't understand the girls at all. He gets along with Astro and Aro just fine, but Alice, now that girl is nothing like Astro or Aro, I laugh at myself.

"Drax do you know what it's like growing up sharing your mind with your wolf right?" he stares at me like it was a stupid question I smerk at him " so imagine if that wolf was the very first wolf that was gifted by the moon God herself selen?"

He looks at me like he doesn't know what I'm talking about.

"but Selenas first gift was kill the black wolf with silver tips not Astro" he looks confused " Astro is Selenas first daughter one she kept in her realm one she gave brith to as in the direct princess of the moon Astro was the only wolf to ever be born on the moon and live there. Everyone other wolf born was born here on earth.am i wrong?"

he looks at me shocked and shakes his head trying to take in everything I just said.

"so imagine being Aro growing up with Astro who's new to this world plus having a very bad tempered witch who just so happened to be the daughter of the king of magic?"

his eyes widen a little. I might as well tell him everything.

"so Astro grow up on the moon was never to be given to anyone as a wolf. Alice and her story a little different and is now stuck in her loop to be reincarnated every 1000 years to finish her mission that no one knows anything about or how to break it., I have been there for them all and I have to say this time is different.Alice was always reborn into a human but the human was stupid and would always die so over the reincarnation she would put all her power into the waterfall..one reincarnation she was born into a witch who was mated to a wolf that wolf was none other then Aros Great grandfather on her father's side Alpha Justin Black of this pack.Alice settled her waterfall here and didn't know she was feeding off the gate to king Alexs realm.and slowly took over the magic flow from this world to our realm.so the main gates to our realm was closed the only way out was King Alex's portals."

I stop and watch for Drax's reaction. He stops looking at the ground and frowns at me. "Why'd you stop?keep going" he seemed annoyed I giggle at him he's more like Alice then he thinks.

"hahahahaha yes my king" I laugh at him but continue.

"so in order to have the main gates open again King Alexs needs to give over his title to Aro and the girls her being a hybrid isn't anything new but she is the only werewolf witch human with strong ties to both sides.Alice has been trying to get home for to long now and this is the closest she's ever been without knowing."

He nods, taking it all in "so at the moment Alice is pissed off, we had an unexpected visitor at the barriers just before the second load of explosion.The girls wanted to go after him but king Alex forbid her. To be honest I'd say this was the first time Alice actually listened and I think it was because of Aro. But instead of going after that person, they went to claim down at the waterfall.Aro must find it a little difficult sharing her mind with two others and with very different backgrounds."

I didn't say a word after that, just casually sitting in the dirt on the forest floor near the pack house playing with my orbs at the barriers.

I watch as Drax gets up and continues to the waterfall a lot more claimed than before when on his way. I smile, jump up and walked back to the packhouse to do some coding.

Arohas pov

It is nice having them out of my head for a little bit and laughing and smiling. I told the girls everything that happened while I was in the darkness and showed them everything I did.

Alice was very impressed and couldn't stop smiling. Astro kept whining about her mate and how she wanted to mate him over and over, making me and Alice laugh "bloody horny wolf". Alice laughs out loud as we are all sitting on the ground petting Astro.

"So the Alpha thing starts tomorrow. I'm not sure what you girls are thinking but I'd like to enjoy it with my family before I have to leave them. If it's OK with you girls", I hope they will let me enjoy my family this weekend with out all the mood swings and random attacks.

"Well, the barriers are working perfectly. I don't see why not."

Alice smiles at me and nods, as does Astro.

"Let's look hot and mate Drax and Blaze" Astro howls in our heads, making us laugh.

"Alice, can we use your body this weekend?"

I asked her and she looked at me weirdly "what do you mean, Aro?" I smiled at her, stood up and grabbed her hand as I did. All the markings and piercing covering her covered me so we looked like twins now, but I made my hair white with black tips.

She smiles at me then giggles out loud.

"If this is what you want, Aro, then I'm more than happy for you to take this form we are one after all and it's going to be a long time before they see you again. Baby you know this, right?"

I shook no because I didn't know.

"What do you mean?I can always come back, can't I?"

Alice grabs me by the shoulders and sits me back down. I feel like crying. I look at her with sad eyes and she frowns at me and shakes her head.

"Aro .. I don't cry and it's weird seeing me..well you cry but ... ohk Aro just for you but your gonna get very bored doing it very fast..the timing from here to there is kinda off..what I'm saying is 1year here is about a day or so there.."

now I'm frowning and Alice is smiling.

I think about it for a bit before answering her.

"aaahh I guess that's why King Alex doesn't come as often as we would like him to..ha will we age super slow then?"

I asked myself, then to the girls as we lay next to each other. Astro stands and whines at the waterway. Drax must be here at the waterfall.

"Can we go now", Astro howls in our heads, making Alice snort and me giggle.Alice stands with Astro as they smile at me I close my eyes and pull them both back, feeling a lot more claimed then before and happy.

We can do that anytime, right Aro?

Alice liked it. I guess I smile and nod

anytime Alice just to get a break hahaha

As we dived into the pool and under the waterfall, we came up to the other side and saw Drax lying under the tree with his arms under his head and shirtless. He must have come to swim.

I walked out the water just wearing black bike shorts and a black tank top. I sat next to him and just sat quietly. I felt him look up at me and his eyes wide like he was seeing a whole new me.

He reaches out to touch my hair and I slowly turn to look back at him. The piercing in my eyebrows, my nose ring and a ring on my lip .

I slowly smile at him and fully turn and his eyes go even wider if possible as his eyes land on my neck, which has star constellation tattoos going from the back of my ear down my neck and across my collarbone, looking like a galaxy and meets the rotation of moons lined up down the middle of my neck to between my breast.

"The girls and I had to have a team meeting. It's not always sunshine and butterflies with them" he just nods and smiles at me "everyone's here now and getting settled in nicely. Mum, dad Alpha Chase and Matthew are all helping your dad. Your crew are checking and rechecking the barriers.Amera and Yun should be finished with their presentation. You have your link shut off . I came to check on you"

I just look at him and smile as he touches my face and the sparks flow through me.

After a couple minutes of just sitting there and enjoying the mate sparks Alice interrupted.

"Aro, we should head back. We need to ready ourselves for what maybe coming"

I sighed loudly "better head back.Alice wants me to go back."

Drax stands up and pulls me up with him. We walked back to the pack house hand in hand.

Drax pov

I know something bad is coming Blaze and I don't know what it is, but its keeping me on my toes and always looking for our mate when she's not in our sight. Whenever Aroha isn't within our eyesight, Blaze is the first to pop up and hunt her down.

The walk back to the pack wasn't long enough for me or Blaze. We enjoyed the alone time with our mate.

Aroha stops at the door to the pack house and takes a deep breath in and out,

I just wait till she's ready, then push the door open.As we walk in, her Dad is waiting for her and her brothers are sitting at the bottom of the stairs looking lost and weird.

"Baby your back! Are you OK? We have a little problem." they all say at once, making Aro smile and laugh at them.

Before they can say another word, they all take in Arohas' new look.

"lookin badass sis" Damion smiles

"Does it hurt?" Darius walks over to her and touches her tattoos.

"Thank you Brother, and no it doesn't hurt hahaha this is.." before Aroha could finish, both Amera and James were on one knee in front of Aroha.

"Welcome back your highness, we are here to serve you", both James and Amera say at the same time, making Aroha frown.

"Stand up you guys, it's me Aroha. I've just taken Alicia's form for the weekend but she is happy you still remember her."

i watch as James' eyes go wide, then smiles. "I see you have become one?" she simply smiles and walks past him to her room.

Seeing her smile like that gives me butterflies, but also jealousy when it's for James and not me.

I follow right behind her, as does everyone else.

Walking into Alpha's office, Aroha took her seat in the corner of the room. "Baby, all the Alphas have retired to their rooms.They all want to meet you to talk about the defenses and projects, most are happy to do contracts with us, Some are still a little on edge.if you could talk a little at breakfast before the games start would help allot" her father was seated at his desk i see a worried look on Darius face.

"Maybe Yun or Amera should speak at breakfast Dad..no offense Baby, but I know what you'll say and it will go along the lines of 'well if you don't want our help don't come crying to my brother after your attacked by witches or rouges because it will be to late'"

Aroha just burst out laughing and Darus smiles at her and shakes his head.

"told you" he ended, and sat down on the couch in front of the fireplace.

"Actually, Brother, I would say that, but it would be more like 'well if you don't want our help and you and your pack die more land for my brother hahahaha" Aroha laughs again and her dad lets out a little giggle.

"OK, so its settled well let Yun and Amera give out information". Her dad ends the conversation and moves to the next subject about the games tomorrow.

As everyone is talking about the games and the lunch menus, I feel something weird, crawl up my spin sending shivers up and down my body and before I could let this weird feeling creep up, on me again, the atmosphere in the room changes and Aro is standing in front of me frowning. She spins me around so fast I'm not sure what just happened as she runs her finger tips up my spin to my neck. Then I felt her fingers in my body. It didn't hurt at all, but I felt like she pulled out a snake from my body. I felt like something was trying to take over my body and i couldn't stop it.

As I turned around I saw Aroha holding a black snake with purple-looking eyes. She had a murderous look on her face and everyone in the room stepped back. Everyone but James, who rushed to Aroha's side with wide eyes and tried to take it from Aroha, who just stepped back.

"If you don't get your ass here, father,I will go after him!" she screamed so loudly that there was a full on hurricane outside the packhouse, bigger than the pack lands.

, within seconds, a gold lightning bolt hit just outside the pack house and within another couple seconds Aroha was sprinting outside and super mad.

As we make our way outside, we all see King Alex and Aroha standing in front of each other and Aroha is so mad even King Alex is scared.

"Give him to me Alice". King Alex has his hand out waiting for Aroha to give him the snake.

"tell me who he is and why he is here or i swear I'll let Alice lose to hunt him down" Aroha was in control right now and King Alex looked scared as hell, but before she could say another word, a little girl no older then 7 or 8 stepped out from behind King Alex.

"Alice?" she says in her little voice with tears in her eyes.

The hurricane that is about to kick off stops suddenly and Alice takes over Arohas' Body in a split second, she falls to her knees and is crying.

I can feel everything our mate is letting off all the sadness, happiness and anger.

"Alice is it really you?' the young girl spoke again. "It is her daddy, it's Alice!" The little girl runs for Alice and before i can react to stand in front of Aro and the girls im put to the ground as was everyone else.

I turn my head to Aro and the girls and they are crying. She quickly kills the snake and stands to open her arms to the little girl. They hug for a long time and Alice is in control. I tried to get up but im pushed back down I looked up to see King Alex was also on the ground.

"Alice, let us up.no one here will hurt the little one" King Alexs voices out and still cant move.

"Alice, what are you doing to father and everyone else? Let them up now!" the little girl frowns and slaps Alice on the arm. She then jumps out of Alice's arms and back toward King Alex slowly everyone is let up and the girl helps King Alex up.

"That wasn't very nice Alice now say sorry to everyone". The little girl frowns at her and Alice straightens herself up and all we hear is two little words that come from Alice: "I'm sorry".

The little girl then smiles "are you coming home now Alice?' everyone looked shocked, but before I could say anything, Damion always, bets us to it "Alice, is this your little sister?'

She doesn't say a word and smiles "I'm not coming home today Julie, but I will be coming home in two human days", she speaks and I see the little girl's face turns sad and I'm hit with Arohas emotions so hard that even i want to cry.

"Daddy, you said she would come home? And why is the Daymas serpent here in the human world?'

"That's enough juju" King Alex tried to scold the little girl.

As fast as those words came out of his mouth was the speed she put everyone back down on the ground again.

"Julie tell me who Dayma is?" Alice had no hint of anger when talking to the young girl.

"He's not a very nice man, sissy, he is the ruler of the Demonds.He has tried to take me away from Dad more than once."

I hear her little footsteps walking towards Alice and slap again " your not being nice, Alice, let them up now!"

"If I do, will you tell me about this person who keeps trying to take you?''

"Daddy will be mad at me if i do Alice, please let them up."

"tell me about this person, Juju, and ill let them up."

There was silence for a bit, then the little girl spoke again. "His name is Dayma tempest. He is trying to take father's spot and keeps trying to take me because he thought you were dead already.He kept calling me his bride?thats super yuck Alice im to young to marry anyone"

"Like f**k. He will ill kill him little one. No one will ever touch you again"

After saying that, Alice was back to being her angry self.

"Let them up now, Alice, and hurry up and come home. Ms. Jasmine is also trying to take daddy away."

I feel the power lift again and I'm able to move this kid can get Alice to do anything she likes and tells her off like shes the adult.

As I stood, I wrapped Alice up in my arms and I felt her relax almost instantly.Giving her a kiss on the top of her head.

"Alice, is this man your boyfriend?" I heard Julie speak as she was now standing in front of us and Alice just nodded her head.

"He is my mate Juju. This is Drax"

"Please to meet you princess", I let go of Alice and bowed to her and smiled. I watched as she giggled and ran back to her father.

"You will NOT go after Dayma.You will finish what you need to here, then you will come home.understood Alice?"

"Yes father.Little one watch father closely and keep that Jasmine away from him till I return. If anything happens, little one call for me ok and ill come right away"

Alice walks up to the little one and hugs her tightly, whispering into her ear, and they both laugh out loud and Alex's face was a look of horror and fear.

"You"r funny Alice and ill look after father till you get back. Don't worry'.But please be nice while you are away and hurry up. me and Nessa have been waiting a long time to go out.Dad had to bring me today because Dayma tried to take me again."

Her head snapped so fast at King Alex that I was pretty sure she was going to give him punishment. Her own father even looked scared.

"If anything happens to her father, I will destroy your realm and everyone in it. I don't care who I have to kill, God or Demon i will kill them all.''

"Little one take this OK'' Alice takes off her watch and gives it to Julie, smiling "No one will ever touch you again. OK sissy promisees"

Just as Julie puts on the watch, Alice claps her hands and a gold barrier is up around Julie.

"We need to leave now Juju". King Alex grabs her hand and stands back.

"Remember what I have said, Alice", he looks at James and nods "And remember what i have said, father.No one is to touch Juju,or I will let Nessa and Astro free in your realm". King Alex looks horrified but nods.

"Be good sissy, see you soon. I love you", Julie shouts as they both disappear.
