The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Ethan Pov After we destroyed Solem’s Phoenix’s spirit, his physical body melted into the ground. Aiden and I rushed to Kayla, who had staggered on the ground. The power release was too much for her, and she collapsed.

Kayla, KAYLA. We shook her, but she wouldn’t open her eyes.

FUCK, Aiden growled. We transported her back to the packhouse, and Dr. Lauren went to work on her immediately. Now that she remembers her magic, she is able to use her spells to revive Kayla, but Kayla ends up being trapped in a coma.

Lauren stabilized her but told us we would all make it.

Wait for our Mi Amor to wake up. I am losing my fucking mind. She may never wake up. 2 weeks later

Aiden Pov Ethan and I have been waiting for over two weeks. We have been talking to her, hoping she will hear us. She channeled so much power. I would never tell my brother, but even though it hurts, I am preparing for the worst. The pain we experienced when we lost her for the first time pushed us over the edge. I have to stay level-headed. I promised her I would. I intend to keep that promise.

“MI amor, I don’t know if you can hear me, but follow the sound of my voice. Come back to us. Please, please come back to us. I love, honor, and cherish you so much. I will love you through anything and everything, in poverty as in wealth, in sorrow as in joy, and I will be true to you by the Goddess’ grace, trusting in her. I value you in my life as a precious gift. My love, my light, my Luna, please. Please come back. Ethan Pov I can tell my brother is trying hard to keep it together. We both have her hands in ours as we pray to the moon goddess to help her find her way back to us. We need her. Listening to my brother’s speech gives me an empty feeling inside me as I realize she may be like this forever. I know I made her promise to keep it together, but I don’t know if I can keep going. Watching her be killed in front of us drove us crazy. Watching her in this state seems to be driving me almost to that point. Our Lycans are miserable without their mate.

“Come home, my love. We need you to follow our voices and come back to us. We have so much more love to give you, and if I’m being honest, I don’t think I can hold it together again anymore, so I need you to come back. Mi Amor, come back. Kayla Pov I woke up in my version of the spirit realm. In the same realm as my celestial spirit,. I’ve been here for a while now. Anshul has been teaching me how to channel my solar energy. I can hear my boys talking to me every day. Anshul says my body is too weak right now for my spirit to go back into it. I miss them so much. I hear the pain I am causing them. It brings me great pain. I can hear them talking to me again today. I don’t want to wait anymore. I need to go back. I need to go back now!

“Your body is healed. If you’re ready to go back, then go. I will be here. Always,” Anshul states, smiling at me. I chirped up. “Don’t forget to give me some time with my friends, Kayla.”

I laughed.

“Fine,” I tell her. She laughs and touches my head, and I fade out.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

I sit up fast in bed.

“Fuck, my head hurts,” I said out loud. No one was in the room. I took all the needles and wires off of me. I hate all of that stuff. I healed my headache with my powers. Good. Someone left my clothes near my bed. Most likely, they wanted it here when I woke up. I see on the clock that I’ve been gone for 2 weeks.

My boys must be going crazy. I got dressed and headed outside. It was nighttime. The breeze felt incredible. I can hear howls in the forest. I know it’s my boys. My spirit recognizes them somehow. I let out my wings and flew over the forest. They are both in wolf form, sitting by a waterfall, and I fly down to them. Ethan and Aiden Pov We decided to go to our chill spot. We just couldn’t take one more day of constantly looking at her in her coma, driving ourselves crazy about whether or not she would wake up. Last time, we pushed each other away. We have stayed together this time to help each other through the pain. Ethan Pov

My heart is beating out in my chest. What the hell? Aiden Pov

My wolf is howling. Why is it howling? “Boys,” we hear, and we look up.

“Brother, is that?” I asked.

“Our mate,” he replied. Kayla

Once I dove down, they shifted, and I was in their arms instantly.

“Mi Amor,” they yelled.

“My loves,” I whispered as they started to cry, causing my tears to form. My big, bad alphas are crying. “I’m sorry I was gone, my love; I had to heal my body. My body wasn’t strong enough to hold the power I sent through me, but I am now. I won’t leave you again,” I said, kissing them through their tears. “I heard you; I heard both of you.” I gripped Ethan’s face and pulled him into a kiss. The kiss was deep and needy, but full of so much passion. I pulled back and pulled Aiden into the same kiss with the same results.

“Take me to our room; I need to be marked. Like now, please.” I tell them. They don’t hesitate, and we all transport them to our room. It’s time to do something I should have done on the very first day.
