Vixen watched Elena closely. She desperately wanted to tell her everything. She just couldn't she had been ordered not to say a word. And to make sure that Sexton and herself couldn't say anything they had spells casted on them. Their own parents didn't like that their children meddled with the Fates plans.

Vixen's heart was breaking. She had lost her own mate in a war. Now she was about to watch as her daughter lost everything again. This wasn't the first time. As a demigoddess, Vixen had powers. Her powers are related to time. She can fast forward time or slow time right down. Her brother, Sexton has visions. Just like her daughter.

Vixen noticed elena's eyes change. She is having a vision. Vixen quickly ran over and caught Elena as she fell to the ground. With the contact Vixen was able to see the vision that her daughter was having.

Vixen had convinced the gods and goddesses to allow her to make a time loop till her daughter stopped the war from coming. But they put a condition on the time loop. On the twenty seventh day of the tenth month in the year 2014 if Elena couldn't stop the war the gods and goddesses would allow the time loop to stop and Vixen and Sexton would forfeit their own lives.

VISION

The war started and it was messy. It was every supernatural race for themselves.

The vision showed how the war started. Tonya forgave her mate but when she found out Elena had taken her own life. She went crazy and drained Jaxson of his blood. Soon that's all there was.

--end of vision--

Elena came out of her vision. And she felt gentle arms holding her. Elena felt safe and comfortable and something else. Something familiar. Than her eyes clouded over again and this time she saw the past. Her own birth.

Elena snapped her eyes open and looked up at the tear full demigoddess. "I understand now. You are my mother. That is why you care. And Sexton is my uncle." Elena said quietly.

Vixen nodded her head. "Yes. You are right. and now you need to see what caused all this to unfold. I couldn't tell you. I still can not tell you. But if you see it than it. Than I can reveal it."

"How can I see?" Elena asked.

"Because you were there. Just concentrate."

--------

Sexton heard the whole conversation his sister and her daughter had. He could help with the visions. He just needed to stop Tonya from what she was about to do.

Sexton was brought back to the matter on hand when Tonya spoke. "I love you. But I do not forgive you for your actions. You could have refused. I know King Jaxson is your king. But you have a right to defy what you feel is wrong."

Sexton smiled at the vampire princess. She was right and she just changed the corse again. However the war was going to start. It was now up to Elena. His niece needed to find the key to stop the war. They couldn't afford for this time to fail again.

"Tonya, princess of the vampires. Are you wanting to pass judgement on your mate?" Sexton asked.

Tonya bowed her head. Than she raised it. "Please don't execute my mate. He was following orders. Demote him and myself allow us both to be servants to this pack. Allow us both to give our own lives to protect others."

Sexton bowed his head and allowed a small smile to play across his features. A war was not going to start over what Tonya has said. He raised his head and looked at the others present "what say all of you?"

There where murmurs and than the king and queen of vampires stepped forward. "Our daughter is this what you truly want?" the queen asked.

Tonya turned to her mom a sad smile on her face. She knew her mother and father wouldn't like this but she took a deep breath even though she didn't need it. And than nodded her head. "Yes my queen mother. This is what I truly want."

The king and Queen sighed but they looked at the demigod. "We will not fight our daughters heart. Since this is what she wants than we accept this."

Once again the hall erupted into caos.

(-)(-)(-)

Chapter twenty Two

The hall didn't object but they knew the laws of the vampire clans. Once the princess was stripped of her title. She would be banished from her clan. Her children will also not be welcome.

Sexton looked at the king and Queen of vampires. If he allowed them to keep to their laws. The children will be banished.

'Vixen' Sexton called out to his sister threw their link.

'What is it?' she asked sounding a bit worried.

'Has your daughter made her decision?'

'She has. But I am afraid it may be too late.'

'What do you mean?'

'She has had a vision.'

'What kind of vision? why didn't I have one?'

'It is about Jennie and Esarosa. It will be a war. Jennie will not like her sister being banished. Jennie will take over the throne.'

'She isn't next in line. Her brother Rocky is.' Than Sexton caught what the worry was. 'Jennie will kill them all.'

'Exactly.'

'Why didn't I see this?'

'Mayhap our parents have stripped more of our powers?'

'I never thought of that.'

'I have to go. My daughter is ready to make a final decision.'

Sexton closed off the link and looked at the king and queen of vampires. Than he spoke "I will not allow the princess of vampires to be stripped of her title. She did not commit a crime to warrant such a punishment." The hall cheered. Obviously they agreed with the demigod.

The king and Queen of vampires turned to the hall and they bowed. "Thank you everyone. We were going to honour our daughters wishes but we didn't want to. If it pleases you all we will allow our daughter to remain a princess and remain mated to the alpha here. How ever. We want him stripped of his title. And any other punishment we will accept. Our daughter will also obey." the king said to the hall of supernatural beings. He looked directly at Tonya when he said she would obey the wishes of this council. She bowed her head in submission. She didn't want a fight of any kind.

The queen of elves stepped forward and the hall went silent. "I have no objections to your wishes Tonya princess of the vampires. But I agree with your parents and the demigod Sexton. You have not caused a crime. I have thought about all of this and I feel your mate was only following orders. He should be allowed to live."

The hall once again erupted into cheers and murmurs.

Sexton smiled 'the war isn't going to start.' He mind linked Vixen.

'I wouldn't be too sure.' was her reply.
than their link was cut off as a bright light appeared in the centre of the grand hall.

Sexton looked around and saw the whole group where frozen in time and place. The one movement was a small butterfly figure.

Than much too Sexton's surprise his sister and his niece also stood in the centre of the hall.

Than the butterfly figure turned into a beautiful woman with long golden hair. She was dressed in a light pink strapless dress that went to the floor. A silver shawl hung over her bare shoulders. Sexton bowed once he recognized the figure.

"Stand Sexton." The woman said in a velvety voice. the power of this woman radiated off of her in waves.

"I have stood by and watched enough times to know how this is all going to play out. The war will occur. There is no stopping it." The woman said

"But it can be stopped." Queen Elena said softly.

The woman turned to the queen of wolves and a small smile spread across the woman's face. "how can it be stopped my dear?"

"By allowing me too live. I understand now. My husband and mate must die for this crime. If he doesn't the war will occur."

"And do you feel you have the power to stop a war?" the woman asked

"I know I do. As the daughter of a demigod and as your granddaughter. I am more than just a wolf shifter."

"Yes. Yes. Very good Elena." The woman said clapping her hands together. She was very proud. This was the moment that they all waited for.

Sexton looked at his mother and at his niece and before he had time to say anything the room went bright and he was no longer standing in the grand hall.

------

Chapter Twenty Three.

Queen Elena's POV

The Demigod, Sexton looked at me "How do you feel with this decision?" he asked in his deep voice.

I stood up and the whole room grew even more quiet. They all looked at me and waited for my reply.

I was fighting tears. It was all up to me. I could plead my case to spare his life or sentence my husband to death. I remembered the whole vision in clarity. I knew now who I was and what I must do.

I took a breath and let it out slowly. I looked at each person in the room. Than I said "my companions. My friends and my family. I have a heavy heart. I don't wish for my mates death but I understand our laws that we have all put in place."

----

The hall erupted into a loud chorus of mummers. Queen Elena raised a hand and when the hall didn't quiet down she raised her voice "quiet everyone!" The hall instantly quieted down. They had never felt the power that radiated of the queen before.

Sexton smiled. He knew she had power. After all she had the blood of gods flowing threw her veins. A powerful shapeshifter goddess. That is why she could also be a shadow wolf. And why Aeliana was destined to be part of the prophecy. Steven would have been great also.

His attention went back to his niece as she spoke. "As I was saying. It is with a heavy heart that I vote in favour of my husbands death. I have seen what can happen and what has been with my decisions."

The hall filled with noise again till a beautiful woman in a pink dress and a silver shawl stepped forward. The power that radiated off the woman caused the hall to grow deathly quiet. The woman stepped right up in front of Queen Elena.

Queen Elena bowed and said "grandmother. How nice to finally meet you."

"As it is you my dear." The woman said as Queen Elena stood straight.

The woman turned to the hall and said "I am the goddess of all shape shifters. The moon goddess if you all prefer. I have come today to speak to my granddaughters mate. I wish to know his heart and the reasons for his crimes. Than you can all have your justice."

The hall didn't say a word as the goddess moved towards King Jaxson. She looked at him and than asked
"Do you love my granddaughter?"

King Jaxson nodded his head. The goddess didn't like his lack of words and replied "use your words to answer me. I do not hear brains rattle."

The king stood there momentarily puzzled as he stared at the woman in front of him. This woman who if she desired could spare his life.

"Come on now boy. Speak. Or has a cat got your tongue." King Jaxson knew he should say the words before the goddess got to mad at him.

"I do love your granddaughter very much." He finally said.

Satisfied with his answer the goddess carried on with her questioning as the whole hall listened.

"Why did you attack your granddaughter Keira?"

King Jaxson didn't want to answer. But he also didn't want the goddess angry. "She is an abomination. A cross bread."

The goddess stood silent for a few moments. She was furious with his answer but she wouldn't say so. Instead she said "so you wanted to kill her because she is a cross bread? well would you kill your mate than?"

King Jaxson looked appalled by the suggestion and the hall all gasped.

"I would not kill my mate. She is like me."

"No my son. She is nothing like you. She is not a mere wolf. She is a shifter/wolf. I will show you the vision she had and than I want you too answer one last question."

The goddess didn't wait for his answer instead she walked up to him and placed a hand on his forehead. King Jaxson's eyes rolled back into his head and he began to fall to the floor as the vision clouded his eyes and knocked him off balance.

Sexton caught the king before he hit the floor and gently laid him down.

"Mother. Do you think it will change his opinion?" Vixen asked out loud.

The goddess looked at her daughter and smiled. "It just might."

The visions only lasted ten minutes but to king Jaxson it was a life time and when he woke he had tears in his eyes.

The goddess looked at him and asked "do you think yourself worthy of your wife's love?"

King Jaxson lowered his eyes and allowed Sexton to help him up. "No I don't." He said quietly.

The goddess smiled and turned to the grand hall. "I am done here. Do as you all please. But understand one thing. He only has committed one murder. The others are all attempted."

Than in a blink of an eye the moon goddess was gone. The hall remained silent as the kings and queens communicated with each other threw their mind links. Nobody wanted to voice anything till all were sure the answer.

-----------------------

Keira and Monique sat in the gardens meditating.

Keira had tired herself practising her metal abilities so she had sat down with Monique. She felt calm and at ease.

Both girls had been sitting there for awhile when they both felt eminence power. Their eyes flew open and they saw a beautiful pink and silver butterfly hovering in front of them. The power seemed to radiate off the butterfly.

Both girls felt the urge to bow to this butterfly. So both girls shifted from sitting to a deep bow.

"Rise ladies. You don't have to bow to me." A velvety voice said.

Kiera looked up and instantly she recognized her great grandmother.

"You recognize me?" the woman asked the girls. And she also noticed the protective stance Monique had. This made the woman smile.

"I do. I have seen you in my dreams." Keira said.

"And what did I tell you in your dreams?"

"To protect Aeliana and Esarosa with. with them I will have peace. Is it my time to protect them?"

"The time has not yet come. You and Monique must train some more. I can take you to the land of the gods to train you both if you want. And if you have the ok from the adults in charge."

"Who are you?" Monique asked quietly.

"She is my great grandmother. The moon goddess." Keira replied with a smile.

Monique eased her stance. She should have known since this woman oozed power. But for some reason Monique wasn't afraid of the woman.

The woman smiled brightly at the two young ladies. "You both will make a fine queen." Than she disappeared leaving both girls confused.

"We should mediate and see if you have a vision. I would like to know what she meant." Monique said.

Keira smiled. "Ok."

<><>

Chapter Twenty Four

The king of dragons came forth and bowed his head. "Before we make a final decision on the punishment for the wolves. I have a confession to make."

All eyes landed on the tall muscular man. A small woman also came to stand beside the dragon shifter. She wrapped her arm around his waist and bowed her head also. "I also have a confession to make." She added quietly.

Sexton looked at the pair. "Please tell us all your confession." He said.

"Well." The dragon king said. "It is better if my mate here tells you all."

"I am Queen Charisma. I am mated to Klaus king of dragons. I am an earth elemental. And the eldest sister of Callie."

The hall started to murmur but Sexton raised a hand and the hall went silent again. "Please finish." He said.

Queen Charisma nodded her head than continued. "Well as I said I am an earth elemental. I can create a clone of people and when I infuse it with dragon magic I can bring them to life."

Again the hall started to chatter and cause noise. But they grew quiet again as they all needed to hear more.

"What are you saying?" Sexton asked. Clearly curious with this new development.

"Well I guess what I am saying is. King Jaxson didn't kill his son or his sons mate."

Now the whole hall was caos. Everyone wanted proof and Sexton needed them all to hush so he bellowed "quiet down!" The hall quieted. And Sexton looked at Queen Charisma "the proof?" he asked.

Queen Charisma nodded her head and soon the doors to the hall opened and in walked Prince Steven and his mate Princess Callie. They were escorted by two dragon warriors.

"How do we know you are the real ones?" someone asked.

Steven and Callie walked up to the dragon king and queen. They bowed at Sexton and than Steven turned to the hall. "That is easy to prove. The clones can not use our abilities." And after he said that he shifted into his wolf. Shredding his cloths. Than he walked threw the shadows.

Callie smiled and created clones of herself and of Steven. The clones looked and sounded just like the originals. But when asked to turn into a shadow wolf or to use the earth neither could.

The hall was amazed. And Queen Elena allowed her tears to flow. She had been sure that they were both dead. Than she turned angry. "you allowed your daughter to believe you were both dead."

Both Callie and Steven bowed their heads. But it was Callie who spoke. "We are sorry. We never meant for this. Steven had a vision of our deaths. We figured this was the best way."

Steven barked an nodded his head. Sorrow was clear in his eyes.

"How come Aeliana went crazy from the loss of your bond?"

Callie looked at Steven and he nodded. She turned and looked at her mother in law. but she didn't speak it was King Klaus who answered the question. "Because I fused the clone of Steven with his blood. It is forbidden though and I am prepared to accept the consequences."

Sexton came forward and said. "There will be no consequences towards you. What you have done saved lives. In this case it was not for personal gain."

The hall all agreed and klaus bowed. "Thank you all."

"In lighten meant of this new information. I find King Jaxson innocent of murder. But guilty of attempted. Therefore your punishment will be you are here forth stripped of your title as king and you will be a servant in your own kingdom."

Jaxson bowed his head and felt the power flow from him. Than he looked at his son. He was happy his son was alive.

Sexton looked at Alpha John. "Your punishment from here on forth is also your title of alpha will be stripped. But since your son is not yet old enough to be Alpha you will help guide him. Your wife princess Tonya will watch over the two of you."

Alpha John bowed his head also. He was grateful that his beautiful mate wasn't stripped of her title.

"Queen Elena you are from here on out the sole ruler of the wolves. Until you willing give up your title or till your death. At that time either your son or daughter will take over the throne. Do you accept this?" Sexton asked. He hoped she would. It was important that she accepted her new role.

"I accept." Was her reply.

The hall cheered and soon the hall emptied. the council meeting was over. And Sexton and Vixen found themselves in the land of gods.

"My children. Prepare for Monique and Kiera to come and train." The moon Goddess said.

Both bowed and set about. They were both happy to finally have peace. No longer stuck in a loop and no longer having their lives at risk.

They both sang and danced as they happily done their work.

::::::::::::

Monique and Kiera went into the pack house after feeling all the stress and power leave. It had been a long month with so much tension.

"I am hungry." Kiera said as they smelt food cooking.

"Me too." Monique said.

The two girls headed into the kitchen and Kiera stopped in her tracks. A low warning growl escaped Monique's mouth as she felt kiera's tension.

"Kiera." a woman said. Monique looked at the woman and saw the similarities in the eyes. Than Monique noticed the man standing beside the woman. He looked just like Aeliana.

"But you guys are dead." Kiera said so quietly that even Monique almost missed what she said.

[][][]

Chapter Twenty Five

Keira remained frozen in her spot. She didn't dare blink in case her parents vanished.

Monique placed her hand on Kiera's shoulder. "Are they your parents?" Monique whispered.

Kiera nodded her head. She never took her eyes off of her parents. It had been three years. Three years that she had mourned the loss of her parents.

"How?" Monique asked.

"It's along story. One we will discuss with your aunts as well." Callie said to her daughter. Monique saw tears in the woman's eyes.

"Who wants to discuss what with us?" Aeliana asked coming into the kitchen. She too stop dead in her tracks causing Esarosa to crash into her.

In a flash Aeliana had her twin pinned to the wall. "Who are you?" she asked threw a growl.

Cough. Cough. "Cant.... breath....." Steven said gasping for air. Callie went to intervene but was stopped by Esarosa.

Aeliana loosened her grip and once again asked "who are you?"

"It's me Steven." Steven replied. He didn't try to fight her. He had seen her reaction in a vision.

"You are not Steven. I don't feel our bond." Aeliana replied threw clenched teeth.

"Ask Onyx to talk to my wolf." Steven said.

"Aeliana let your brother go." Queen Elena said coming into the kitchen with Rebecca.

Aeliana reluctantly let her so called brother go. He gasped for air and went to stand with Callie.

"Explain now." Kiera said.

Callie sighed "ok." She said as she took some food and sat at the table. Everyone else done the same thing.

"Well where should I start?" Callie asked.

"The beginning. why did you leave me?" Kiera asked.

"I saw a vision of your grandpa. He wanted to kill all of us." Steven replied.

"We don't have visions." Aeliana said.

"I do. I always have. That is what made you and I different." Steven replied calmly to his twin sister.

Aeliana just huffed and ate some food. She wasn't believing this imposter. But her mother wanted her to listen. And as Aeliana listened the less she believed these people. The bond just wasn't there.

'Onyx'

'I am here.'

'Is he our brother?'

'I can't be sure. He is blocked from us. It's some kind of magic.'

'Can Nadia help break threw it?'

'That is a good question. I can ask her. We are stronger together. Though you two need to be in physical contact in case the magic pushes us back.'

'Alright. I will warn Esarosa.'

'Alright.'

Aeliana than mind linked Esarosa. 'Onyx has told me that he is clouded by magic. Can we link Nadia and Onyx together and try to break threw it?'

Esarosa turned to her lover and nodded her head. 'We can try it'

Than both girls went back to listening to Callie and Steven.

"We went to my sister Charisma. She is mated to Klaus the king of dragons. The four of us came up with a plan to see how far your grandpa would go threw with his plan." Callie said to her daughter, Kiera.

As they were talking Jaxson came into the kitchen. He bowed when he saw the group "I am sorry. I was hungry and hoping to get some food." He said.

"You can get some." Esarosa said slightly bitter. She wanted to be rid of the former king but she knew he was here till Elena left.

Jaxson nodded his head and gathered some food. Than he turned to leave the kitchen.

"Wait. Dad you can stay. You should hear this also." Steven said. Aeliana growled "until I figure out who you are you can not call him dad."

Steen sighed and raised his hands in defeat. He didn't say another word.

Aeliana looked at her father. "You can stay. But I am not thrilled you are here."

"I understand." Jaxson said as he sat down next to Elena.

"So you went to Aunty Charisma and Uncle Klaus. How did they help?" Kiera asked trying to bring the conversation back.

Callie and Steven turned back to their daughter and Callie continued to explain "well as you know I am an earth elemental. So is your Aunty. We can create earth clones that look like whoever you want."

"Can you make one of me?" Kiera asked.

Callie nodded and stood up. She closed her eyes and when she opened them they were bright green. She waved her hands a couple times and soon the dirt that had been tracked into the house started to take shape. Everyone stared in awe as the shape began to form into a perfect replica of Kiera.

"It's like a statue." Kiera said. "How did this fool anyone?"

"That is how your uncle helped us. Dragons have a strange and powerful magic. He placed magic on our clones and brought them to life. The only thing is. They can't do anything but talk like us. They can't shift, use magic, or the elements." Steven replied.

"If they can't do anything. How come our bond is gone?" Aeliana asked as she looked at the clone statue of her niece.

Steven looked at her a sad look on his face. "King Klaus infused some of my blood in the clone. I am so sorry Aeliana. We needed you above everyone to believe I was dead."

Tears formed in Aeliana's eyes. "Three years Steven." She whispered.

He got up and came over to her and wrapped his arms around her. At his contact she was suddenly hit with a wave of pain. And her and Esarosa screamed.

Panic filled everyone and Steven almost dropped Aeliana. "What is happening?" he asked

"I... had... Onyx ........" Aeliana said as she passed out.

Jaxson had caught Esarosa before she hit the ground. She had passed out also.

"What did she say?" Jaxson asked his son.

"Something about Onyx." Steven replied.

"Steven. The bond. Did Klaus take the magic off of you?" Callie asked.

"Sh*t" was all Steven said.

"I will call him back." Queen Elena said

They all nodded their heads. As dr. snider walked into the room with Elex, the elven warrior that Esarosa had beaten up.

Elex looked at the girls on the floor. Than his eyes flashed "there is magic in the air." He said as his eyes returned to normal.

"Can you help them?" Steven asked.

"I will try. I have a great respect for these girls. first what kind of magic is this?" Elex asked

"Dragon magic."

Elex nodded and walked cautiously over to Aeliana. He felt she was in the worst pain. He bent down and placed a hand on her forehead. Than he began chanting in the elvin language.
