Bloodmoon

chapter8

Caleb p.o.v

The darkness envelops us as the pack spreads thought out the dense jungles. “Hold back” I mind link, “I am shifting” my bones c***k and my Black fur disappear as the cool air caresses my skin. “Ty, Ank, Tilly” I greet the small beings. I smile to myself I honestly love these meetings even though I should not, I have my pack to train and run but as a child beyond my sister these three Faires were my best friends. They kept me informed on current mystic evens and acted as liaison between me the fairy royals which just happen to be my half-brother's family. It is a good thing we do not have family dinners it would be crazy.

“How are you Lycan king” They greet me

“I am not the Lycan king you know that” I denounced my title to stay here I just an alpha or what some others call me the alpha of alphas or alpha king, but I truly just want to be left alone. “Why have you called for me?”

“Alpha king they snicker Caleb the realms are a buzz with rumors that your stepfather is building an army with the intent to strike. we have heard he is somehow getting the backing of the soon to be queen or the vampires.” Ty spoke nervously.

“This future queen is vicious” Ank commented “and her brother who has already taken over the Black heart coven is said to be worse.”

“The witch’s coven is still vacant so there will be no support there and the Fae have always tried to stay neutral in wars. The army is said to be targeting your stepbrothers pack Bloodmoon as well as other wolves or Lycan's. I cannot imagine our pack Ember moon would be safe from them either." Tilly flew around.

“One difference though,” she shook out her wings “They have multiple packs to help each other. Here there is only one or two other than Ember moon and you have limited numbers.”

“Why does he want to eradicate the species for?” Ank asks scratching his peanut sized head.

“He doesn’t just want to end wolves or Lycans.” I say sullenly, I rub my stubbles on my face, my stepfather as ruthless as he is it Is not just my kind, “It is all children of the moon goddess.

All three tremble “That it is impossible Caleb” Tilly shrieked.

“I wish it were guys, but it is his plan. If what you say about Velma Blackhearts granddaughter is true, I am gonna need to contact my great nephew, Ethan. As well as The Fae king and my brother your king Aiden. That is right boys and girls the alpha king will be going to the summit of the council.” I am so annoyed. Everyone gasps even the wolves at my back,” Can you contact the Fae king and Aiden tell them I need to talk to them?”

“Of course, Caleb” Ty answers “Be safe my friend the three fly away quickly. They are always helpful, I thought.

I turn to my pack, “Ember Moon!!!” I call them forth all the wolves in formation behind me, they move coming into the clearing. Ethan my stepbrother's descendant holds power in the other realm. My stepbrother Andrew Blood moon was my equal, well almost. My chosen mother never explained his linage, but father always question how I could be half God and he wasn’t, but he was almost my match me in every way. Valkyrie his twin was the queen of the Fae she swore her father was a God As well, but it was never confirmed. They have all passed on from this world, but I remain. Andrew I was so close that when he went to the other realm no one noticed he wasn’t the true Lycan king, and I am glad because I just wanted to be left alone. “You heard our liaison to the realms. The great war is about to begin. Mother goddess for told it eons ago so we must prepare for battle. We are the Goddesses last line of defense! we shall not falter we will prevail. We will help our brethren in all the realms. We must end this evil and restore order, are you with me?” I shout to the masses letting the power almost crippling aura flow out of me the wind stirs, and the clouds begin to move faster the wolves howl in their glory echoing off the ranges “Let us bring back Ember moon to her former glory. It is time we show the entire world and all the realms that we are still here and show them how to win a war like they have never seen.” I take a deep breath.

“Caleb, Caleb” Tilly ,Ty and Ank fly around my head as fast as the wings will carry them, “The Fae king is coming.” “We met him on our flight.”

“Already, well tell him I will wait here.” I smirk, things must be bad for DeVon to come himself. How bad can it be for Devon who is hardly seen out and about these days to make the trek all the way here. My thoughts were interrupted by Apollo, my Lycan who began to stir and run wild in my mind. He had been silent for a long time, he rarely interacted with me since the passing of our twin. “Apollo” I question. “What is happening?” I am hit with the most tantalizing scent strawberry and cream. “I am sorry Caleb for being dormant so long I have never left I just...” I cut him off “I understand but why are you are going crazy now” He leaped “I smell her she is close.” “Apollo, our sister, our twin, Cassandra and celeste they are gone buddy.” I try to console him. “Not our sister doofus!” He yells, “Our sister will return just as mother promised but this smell is our mate.” My heart sank, “Our mate!” I almost screamed aloud. My pack sensing my change watch me with curious eyes, “How we don’t” I start but he challenges “Mother gave everyone a mate that includes us she is our other half and Caleb she is powerful can’t you feel it.” he coos with pride.

I hear the Earth thudding footsteps approaching. I feel the energy from the Fae King, so I know my mate is with him. He like Ethan is descended from Ember's children from before my father, Valkyrie's children. Cassandra had a hard way to go about things, but she perished way to early. “She will return mother would not lie. Do not give up” Apollo repeats and squeals when the most beautiful woman I have ever seen comes into view. Oh, my goddess she is gorgeous! My mate!

She stares at me from beneath a dark cloak, her golden eyes strike me somewhere inside my heart begins to flip flop. I cannot tell if she feels it too, but I notice the air around us has gotten thick, my fault as I control elements, and my control is dormant at the moment while I'm lost in her gaze.

“Daughter” the king calls out worried.

“Daughter,” I say aloud for everyone to hear, we didn’t' even know the strong Fae king had a daughter. The army of wolves behind me and the cloaked Fae mission gasp coming forward to protect the young girl as her hood falls revealing her markings which have begun to glow under the moon, she is a Fae princess and her Thick elegantly marked regalia shows her significant power On Display for everyone, The next Fae Queen.
