Sonora's POV:
I was still frozen with shock when Amira came downstairs, so much anger cursed through my veins it felt like my soul was set ablaze I wanted to rip her head off her neck and let her little ugly termite watch as his mother's headless body fal-
"they finally left what did you say to run them off so quickly," Mira said with a chuckle as she was walking down interrupting my dreadful thoughts
"I've agreed to marry him," I said bluntly
"huh?!?!?"
I turned to look at her and her eyes held a mixture of emotion
shock
anger
surprise
and confusion
"What did they say to you?" she asked rushing over to where I was standing
I had never been one to keep things from my sister so I told her the truth
"you were going to my replacement if I didn't follow through with the marriage," I said and Amira immediately had tears in her eyes
Amira had always felt like she was a burden to me it pains her for me to go through any inconvenience to protect her but the thing is I will always put her first
"no I don't want you to suffer because of me I will do it" she sobbed
"Listen to me Amira I am your big sister I will do everything and anything to protect and keep you safe I made a promise to our parents and I will forever keep it there is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you," I said while holding her hands
"But what about your beloved you've always dreamed of finding him?" she asked with sympathy
"I may have lost the chance to find mine but you will it's just the price I have to pay"
"I love you, Nora," she said while embracing me in a hug her tears falling onto my shirt
"I love you more"
after a couple of minutes of silence, I gently unwrap my arms from around her and wiped her tears
"We have to meet up with the others okay and please don't tell them about this until I get everything sorted out," I said to Mira and she nodded in agreement
the coven house was a good 5-minute walk from where I had settled a while back there was a situation that uncovered my past traumas and I was extremely paranoid and wouldn't stay where the rest of the vampires confided so Cerian the leader of our coven and the man who found me in the woods 15 years ago gave Amira and I our space so we could feel safe
Cerian was like a second father to me second because no one could ever replace the real one
he took us in clothed us fed us and trained us to become warriors so we could keep up our family legacy while protecting ourselves and our coven
I walked into the coven house and saw all of our warriors immediately a strange feeling took over
after that five-minute walk, I arrived at the coven house I walked in and over to my friends Tarian, Sage, Viva, and River and everyone had a look of discomfort on their faces
"what's going on?" I asked feeling confused
"It's the White Blood Coven they've been attacked," Tarian said and I knew it wasn't any normal attack
then Cerian came forward and began confirming our worst nightmare
"This was the attack of the werewolves most of the Vampire's had the blood drained out of their body leaving behind a grey skeleton-like corpse the rest of their heads were ripped off and their hearts drained of any life this is the most gruesome attack yet and we can see they are growing in number more advanced and more calculated these are not the attacks of normal wolves these are something far more dangerous"
"we will be sending 10 of our best warriors to Genovia to train with the king and his warriors we will be leaving within the next 2 days"
we could see the faces of our warriors get more restless and concerned there was murmur all around and we could hear all these questions getting thrown around
we as warriors made an oath a pledge to protect our coven no matter what we know that there are only 2 ways this could end we make it out alive or we don't
"if you hear your name please step forward"
"Sonora Hale"
"Rhian Stoner"
"Amira Hale"
"Seria Cole"
"Sage Winter"
"River North"
"Viva Lionstone"
"Tarian Redson"
"Layla Runebow"
"Christopher Dayhell"
"if you didn't hear your name please return to the training grounds thank you"
and with that, the rest of the warriors left leaving only those whose names were called at the front
"The lot of you were chosen based on skills and your abilities you will be working twice as hard and with twice as much pressure I know you will not let me down you may head back now"
we all nodded and I was ready to walk off when Cerian called me back
"Sonora may I have a word with you"
"Yes Cerian"
"You are my best warrior and I'm so pleased with how far you've come your parents would be proud"
"Thank you Cerian" I replied with a smile
maybe you can finally meet the beloved you so long for on this trip he said with a weird chuckle Cerian knew every little detail about me which also includes how much I wanted to find my beloved
"yeah maybe," i said awkwardly and I was starting to feel uncomfortable for some reason
"Alright then go and catch up with the others"
I nodded and walked off
while walking I was deep in thought and I even forgot about that conversation with Cerian being so lost in thought
the thing that killed my parents 15 years ago is coming
the thing that ruined my life 15 years ago is coming
the thing that scared me 15 years ago is coming
the war is coming.
