The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Arabella Pov

I woke up, looking at a beautiful night sky with twinkling stars. Did someone take me outside? I sit up and find I’m dressed in a light blue satin dress that hugs my body and matches my eyes. I’m an infield of nothing, my flowers scattered around. There is a beautiful full moon that shines brightly. I turned around and saw a forest. Howls are coming from it. Out of the forest, two wolves appear, and they run towards me. One wolf is pure white and stands almost 10 feet tall. Her body is massive, but she treads so lightly. The wolf beside her is smaller, most likely around 7 feet tall, but still tall for a normal wolf. Her coat is such a beautiful silver. As they drew closer, I saw the silver wolf’s eyes were bright silver with hints of blue. The white wolf has a very beautiful blue pair.

The white wolf changes into an extremely beautiful woman. As she walked closer, I began to take her out.

“Grandma Elena?” I asked, but she shook her head. I remember someone saying Elena was the reincarnation of the Moon Goddess.

“Moon Goddess,” I ask, and she nods, stopping in front of me. Her silver-white hair flows beautifully against her white, flowy dress. I looked at the wolf next to her.

“Royal?” I ask, and the wolf howls in response.

“Welcome to my realm, my child.” The moon goddess replies

“Am I dead?” I asked the moon goddess.

“No, you are immune to silver, but white oak ash is toxic to an elemental. Your wolf is healing, but at a slower rate. That plus the power you used to kill the half-witch was a dark one, and it all overwhelmed you. You manipulated her blood, which caused her death. Bending blood is a form that was used by the darkest elements. The more they used it, the more evil they became. If you are to use it again, use it only for situations you were in and anchor yourself to your mates. They will keep you grounded,” she says. “But you will wake up once your wolf heals you. You still have destiny to complete.”

“What destiny?” I asked. Her eyes looked sad.

“Many moons; your destiny was written by the oracle Pythia.” The moon goddess says

“Am I allowed to know what it is?” I asked, but she shook her head.

“I am not allowed to say, as I am not allowed to interfere with the fates of mortals or supernatural alike.” I nodded.

She walks up to me and grabs my hand in hers.

“The danger you face is the most dangerous any of my children have ever had to face. Your gifts are strong. The use of your gifts will be either for good or evil. The descent into evil is an easy road, and evil will try to keep you on it. This evil will seek you out through your power. You must not evilly get it, or the events I have put in motion will be for nothing,” she warns.

“What events?” I ask, but she touches me on the head, and my vision swirls, sinking me back into the darkness. Ares Pov

It had been 3 hours since Bella had been out of surgery, but she has still not awoken. According to the doctors, it isn’t silver that makes her weak. The bullet was coated in a rare tree called white oak that was burned to ashes and coated in the bullet. It is said to be the only thing that can fully kill an elemental. Thank goddess, it only pierced her stomach and went straight through. Kyle, Sam, my brothers, and I are all sitting around her. Her face looks so peaceful, almost inhuman. She is truly beautiful. I feel someone linking my brothers and me.

Dads

The camp of the kings, wolves, and vampires is moving your way. We are a good distance ahead of them, and we will be there in the next 20 minutes. I have linked packs to come and join you. Damon joined the wolves and vamps as well. Prepare defenses.

“Kyle, get Sam and Bella, and take a few guards and a doctor. Put them in the safe room,” I commanded. He nods and rolls Bella. I kiss her head as they pass, and so do my brothers. We head back to the packhouse, getting the members prepared for the upcoming war. The guards on the front defense are already ready. Our dads arrive in exactly 20 minutes and are standing beside me and four rows of warriors. Adonis is behind us with Kyle and four rows of warriors to be the third line of defense in case we break. Ash is perched with warriors at the top of the packhouse, with Clair to control archers with pure silver tips.

Our allies have approached and are on both sides of our information as well. I see Camilla in the trees with her bow and arrow, ready. Mom flew and landed beside my dad’s, and I dressed in her warrior attire. I create my signature with two pure silver swords, ready to face the oncoming enemy. Ash Pov

Howls echo from the front, letting us know the first line of defense has been broken.

“READY,” I command my warriors, and they ready their arrows. All the arrows have pure silver tips, which were designed by our fellow pack witches. I see the enemy advance from the trees, and Adonis’s team advances to meet them.

“FIRE,” I demand, and the sky is lit with arrows, each hitting their target as rows and rows of vamps fall dead. My brothers and I have always been great fighters, so it didn’t surprise me when Adonis decapitated the heads of vamps and wolves in one quick swipe with his signature weapon, the Japanese Katana. My team, under my command, kept sending waves and waves of arrows, each hitting their target.

Ares’ team advanced along with our allies and met the wave that made it past the Adonis team.

“Clair, take over,” I told Clair before jumping off the packhouse roof and landing on the ground, pulling my signature silver-tipped spear from behind me. I cut the head off of a vampire who was attacking Kyle before advancing on others. Thank goddess, their numbers are depleting, but we have yet to see that bastard, Damon. Where the fuck is he? Adonis Pov

Damon has finally made his appearance behind his team. I linked to my brothers to let them know. Our fathers are battling wolves now as some of the enemies have shifted. Our mother is burning wolves with her powers. Watching them fight side by side is amazing, but I had no time as four wolves had decided to try to attack me. They are quick; I give them that, but not quick enough. I slice through three and tear the heart out of the other. I turned around just as a vamp approached me from behind, but they were shot with a flaming arrow, which I saw had come from Camilla in the trees. I nod to her and keep advancing.

I invited my brothers to back away and let Damon come to us. They retreated at once to my side, and we fought vamps and wolves that decided to approach us. I feel a new presence joining the battle, and I see our mom’s brother, uncle Alverez, aunt Lauren, and our cousin Shane. Good; the more, the better. Just as we predicted, Damon is making his way to us.

“YOU FUCKERS KILLED MY MATE.” He screams like a lunatic on the way to us. 10 wolves and 5 vamps are surrounding him. Ares advances towards the king while we battle those around them. It didn’t take long to get rid of his security. Ares was fighting hand-to-hand combat with Damon. We rushed to join him when suddenly my head felt like it was on fire. It ended up dropping me to the ground along with my brothers. He has a fucking witch on his side. I try to find the witch through the pain, but it’s way too intense. Damon can’t land punches on each of us. We shift into our final form, which is bipedal lycans, but the pain seems to increase 10 times. I can feel my vision starting to fade as I try to pick myself up to block the hits my brothers are getting.

Suddenly, I felt the ground rumble, like a powerful earthquake. I turned my head and saw a shape making its way to us. Through my cloudy vision, I saw something orange and hot. Whoever that person hit must have been the witch, because I felt my vision starting to come back slowly. I can feel my brother’s as well. As the figure gets clearer, I see the shape is Arabella. Her face is formed in pure anger, and it’s directed at the king and the ones that have gathered around him and are advancing towards her. She creates a ball of wind as a forcefield around her. Rings of fire, water, and rocks are circling her ball. Now that our vision is clear, we fight our way to them, but I do not doubt that Bella can manage this monster alone.
