Hearts On Fire

Back in the garden

Fenrir: “We’re going!!”

Azrael: “We can't go. At least not the both of us. We can't leave the pack unprotected. We can't leave them without either of us here. We have to protect them too. You'll stay here and I'll go with our son.”

Fenrir: “WHAT?! You're insane if you think I'll let you go without me.”

Azrael: “What if it's all a trap?”

Fenrir: “Exactly!! You won’t go, we're going together. We're mates and we deal with everything together with life and death.”

Azar: “We don't have time for this shit and we can't bring all the pack warriors with us. They’ll notice us before we get a chance to get close to them. I'm going alone.”

Azrael: “You're not going alone. I know you wanna rescue Amaya but you going alone will be fucking suicide, Azar.”

Fenrir: “Your mother’s right. You don't have your powers anymore and if they have allies. We don't know how many of them there are.”

Azar: “I don't care if it's a trap. I don't care if I die. All I want is for her to be safe.”

Fenrir: “Just think this through for a second. We’ll leave the pack with Felix and Tia. Jessie and Sammy are still not back yet and you're right. They’ll notice us if we bring pack warriors. We need to search the ground fast and unnoticed so your mother and I are going with you and that's the end of the story.”

Azar: “Fine. Please leave the way, Selina.”

Selina: “Okay. (vampires home far from the pack)”

Woman: “Wolves. What's the reason for your visit?”

Sammy: “Thank you for having us. We're searching for the oldest witch coven and we heard they are on your territory.”

Woman: “Witches? Why would you need them? Especially the elders?”

Sammy: “We need some information.”

Man: “An, the Crimson Fleur pack. I didn't expect to see you here. As far as I know, you're not friends with us. What are you seeking?”

Sammy: “Your majesty. I see you're aware of who we are. We need help from the elder witches. I know it's unusual that I have rules on vampire territory, but everyone told us we’ll be able to find them here. Of course if you allow us to speak to them. You see, we have a problem with a siphoner.”

Man: “That's interesting. I haven't seen a siphoner in three hundred years. Who is she?”

Sammy: “Her name is Amaya. She came to us and it turned out she's the mate to our future Alpha, Azar. We thought she was human but long story short when he marked her, she siphoned all of his powers. He inherited them from his mother. The power of fire but now it's gone and it almost killed him. Thankfully he's a strong wolf so he was able to survive.”

Man: “I see. What a strange family. The alpha of all alphas mated to hellhound. Then they bring a little wolf with hellhound powers to the world and now he's mated to a siphoner. Sister, please go and call Megan, Melisa and Amelia.”

Woman: “Sure. I'll be right back.”

Man: “You know other witches hate siphoner’s, right?”

Sammy: “Yes, we're aware of it but we need to know if there’s a way to reverse it all and get his powers back.”

Man: “What about the siphoner? What do you plan on doing with her? They usually kill them as soon as it's found out that they're one of them. Do you want the same for her?”

Sammy: “No. We don't wanna hurt her. We believe that she doesn’t even know what will happen when he marks her.”

Man: “Ah, I see. It's highly possible that she's the first of her bloodline. I lived for thousands and thousands of years and we never found out why they're actually born. Magnificent creatures. It's scary how powerful they can get. tell me one thing…was he able to feel her even before they mated?”

Sammy: “Why are you asking that? Yes, he could feel her even before he met her.”

Man: “Interesting. By the look on your face I can see that you have no idea what that means. I'll tell you. It means she was feeding on his power through the bond. Probably even for years even before mating, the bond is a strong connection between souls. Once completed, we feel everything our mate feels. Both physical and mental. Even hear the thoughts. She was taking a piece of his power over the years without either of them realizing it. That made their bond stronger and it was like he already marked her.”

Sammy: “Shit!! Why didn’t I think of that?! You're right. There's no other explanation for her being able to survive all the years of torture from her family. It was Azar’s strength that kept her alive.”

Man: “The witches will be here any second now. I'm more than happy to help. I can't wait to see how it'll all turn out.”

Sammy: “Thank you so much.”

Man: “Don't even mention it. It was getting really boring for me. Please come have a seat while waiting and we will discuss everything. (in the woods)”

In Azar’s head: Selina led us towards the meeting spot. We were all running as fast as possible all in our wolf form. No matter how fast we were running, it felt like it's not fast enough. All I could think of was Amaya. I needed to save her but I had this panic rising inside of me. Something's going on. Something terrible. I can feel it. There was no doubt something bad would happen. It took us a day of constant running but we finally arrived.

Azar: “She was here. I can smell her. Her scent is potent. I can track it. She's not far.”

Azrael: “Go. We’ll be right behind you. Let’s get rid of those poor souls. Get ready to be burned, fellas. (in the dungeon)”

Nash: “Ready to become my wife?”

Amaya: “More than ever. (Azar growls)”
