The Black Alder Series (Books 1-3)

Elena POV “You,” I choked out.

I felt like I was seeing a ghost. Someone told me months ago he had died, but that was a lie. He stood before me, and the entire world shattered. It was Marcus. “Me,” he said with a huge smile, holding out his arms. “Come to me, my Luna.” I stood firm in my spot. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THEM?” I boomed. He didn’t like me yelling at him. “Calm down your fucking voice. You will see them soon enough. The crooked witch needs your blood first, then we can all be one happy family.” He sneered before it turned into a smile. “Everything I have ever done has been for you. You were my Luna, and you were taken from me. It’s time to come back,” he said, and he put his arms out again. I didn’t move. “HUG ME,” he boomed. “Or you will never see them again.” I hugged him, and a white mist surrounded us. We ended up in a cave.

“That’s better,” he said. “Take me to my kids,” I sneered. “As you wish,” he said, leading me through a passageway. I scan my surroundings. When I make an escape plan, I need to know where I’m going.

As we walked, I saw many bodies on the ground. Dead bodies. He takes me to an area where two women are. One I recognize as Diane, and I do my best to hold back a growl. The other is a woman who has blonde hair and green eyes. OMG “Raven,” I sneer. “Hello Elena,” she says, smiling. “I go by Aya these days.” They are holding my sons.

Chain her, Diane commands, and silver chains come from the ground. They bind my legs and arms, holding me in place. “YOU TOOK MY CHILDREN,” I boomed, my aura. “Shut up, you entitled brat; you took my lover. You took my life and threw me in the cells, but that’s all fine. Once Aya drains your blood and completes the spell to destroy all supernatural dogs, we will raise your sons as ours. Once they are old enough, we will harvest their power, and we will kill them too.” She lets out a laugh.

Marcus growls behind me. “That wasn’t part of the deal, Diane,” Marcus growls from behind, walking to my side.

“What was the deal, Marcus?” I asked, looking at him. Words can’t say how hurt I was feeling. How could he do this to me? “Diane and Aya, where are you going to harvest some of your blood? Afterwards, me, you, and your boys would go away somewhere, and we would lead our wolves. ” he says.

I could hear rogue wolves behind me. “Do you think I would willingly go to you? You kidnapped my kids. I will kill you the first chance I get,” I growled at him. He looked sad but smiled. “We will see,” he says. “You’re so gullible, Marcus,” the witch Aya says. Chains come out of the ground and bind Marcus, as she says. I don’t know why, but it upsets me to see him that way. The silver is burning his skin. “YOU BITCHES!” he yells, lashing at them, but the silver chains only dig further into his skin. He tries to call for help from his rogues from outside, but they tape his mouth and put silver around his head. “Who are you, and why are you doing this?” I asked the witch Aya. “You’re telling me you don’t know,” she says. She comes up to me and puts her hands on my temples. My vision swirls. “You were the queen of all,” Aya said.

.

I see myself standing above legions of creatures. “I was in love with a man, and he loved me,” Aya says. I saw Aya and a man with jet black hair walking in the desert, but I could only see their backs. “We came to pay respects to you at your masquerade party,” Aya says.

I saw Aya and the jet-black-haired man with a silver mask come up to my past self and bow. My past self nods at the woman but stares at the man and whispers something at the same time as he does too. “You knew he was mine, but you made him yours,” Aya whispered. I see Aya spying on my past self, who was with the man with the jet-black hair. Past Elena was kissing him. His back was still to me in this vision, so I couldn’t see who it was. “I asked all the wolf creatures to help me get him back, but they all loved you. You were his mate, but he was the love of my life. If I couldn’t have him, neither could you, so I fixed the issue.” I see my past self in his arms, his hair covering his face. They looked happy. I could feel their love somehow. I saw Aya talking to a witch, who gave her a piece of paper. Now I see a cave with Aya. She was draining the bodies of supernatural creatures. “I decided to kill you all. I would channel the moon goddess’ power through a spell using your past life’s lifeforce. She was a direct descendant of the moon goddess. I would use her energy to wipe the whole city out.” Aya says. I see her chanting in Latin in the cave, calling on the power of the moon. Silver mystical energy swirled around her. I see the temple past the life Elena is living in. She is walking with the man, who has black hair. I still couldn’t see his face. I saw her drop to her knees, holding her heart. Light was glowing from her. She was about to explode. “It was a prophecy foretold of a child of the moon goddess who would have the power to destroy all supernatural life. I knew it was yours,” Aya says. I could see the past version of myself telling the man to run away, but he wouldn’t listen. He held on to her. Crying, and kissed her. “So, I killed them.” Past Elena pushes the hair from the face of the man and kisses him on the head. I could see who it was. His golden eyes. The ones I’ve seemed to know my whole life. It was from Roland. I saw myself explode, and I took everything, miles and miles, with me. Incinerating them instantly. I felt the pain; it was too much. I was back in the cave with the past version of Aya. The spell she used worked, but it burned half of her body away. I saw her fall. She mumbled some words and sent a light from her body, then died.
