I woke up to a bang downstairs. I opened my eyes to see I was in Jaxonâs room.
I remembered everything that happened yesterday.
I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to see Jaxon in the living room throwing the table on the wall.
âJaxon! Whereâs Oliver?â I shouted walking closer to him.
âBethany. Stay back. We donât have any inje- forgot that just stay back. Let him calm down himselfâ dad said
âNo dad! Chloe. She said sheâs going to take my son! I canât be calm. Jaxon! Jaxon listen to me!â I explained touching Jaxonâs cheek.
âListen to me jaxon. Control yourself. Calm down!â I whispered
âYou remember everything?â Dad asked and I nodded
âYes dad I do! I know everything. I remember every little detail. But where is Oliver?â I asked walking closer to him
âPrincess..he- they took him. But donât worry! We will get him ba-â
âNo! No! I have to do this dad. I have to end this. He took my son. I have to go. Aloneâ I muttered running out the living to be stopped my Jaxon.
âCherry wait! Your not going alone. I have to come with you. He is my son as wellâ Jaxon said and I turned around and shook my head
âNo Jaxon! I have to do this alone. Itâs mentioned everywhere that I have to do it alone. And youâll get angry for no reason. I canât calm you down and protect Oliver at the same time. I canât Jaxon. I just canâtâ I yelled and he let me go.
âI promise to bring Oliver backâ I mumbled and ran out the house.
Lexi ?? I thought
Iâm okay beth. And iâm looking for him. Use your powers to fly to the top she mumbled and I stopped running.
Itâs been a long time I replied looking at my hands
I know you can do it bethany. You have to! She said and I nodded
I used the wind around me to make me fly. I put my hands down on the ground, and thought of flying. The air around me pulled me up to the sky.
Now? I asked
I found their location. Chloe is still running. Sheâs about 4 hours away from you. If you fly there you will get there in 1-2 hours. And follow her slowly from there. Block your scent so she canât smell you. And stay in the sky! Lexi explained and I nodded
Okay I mumbled
Iâm coming for you Oliver!

Jaxonâs p.o.v
âWhat are we waiting for? I want all of the best fighters we have to come with me. Kyle I want you to stay here. And Ryan youâre coming with meâ I explained
âNo! Jaxon. Listen to yourself. Bethany said she has to do this alone. You have to let her do this Jaxon. I am her dad and I want to go as well but I canât. And you know it. Itâs destiny for her to do it aloneâ Cole said and I shook my head
âDestiny? Me and cherry write our own destiny. And together! So if she goes, I goâ I smiled and he shook his head
âIâll call some people as well and meet you thereâ he said and I nodded
âGuys lets go. Kyle if anything happens here, look after itâ I said and he nodded
âLetâs go get cherry and my son backâ I said and we all ran out the house.
******
Bethanyâs p.o.v
I was bored. I was following chloe for 4 hours now. We were past my dadâs territory as well. Suddenly chloe stopped and looked around her.
She was still in another forest. She walked closer to a tree. She touched a branch an a door appeared.
Cool?
She opened the door and walked in, then the door disappeared again. I flew back down and stood on the ground. I walked towards the tree and touched the branch and the door appeared again.
I opened it and walked inside to see James talking to chloe in a room.
âI knew you would come love. How long has it been?â He asked turning around.
âNot long enough. Where is Oliver?â I asked
âOh Oliver? Heâs just in a different room. Playing. I remember when he was a baby. You were really protective. Oh and you have been living with Charles, I know all about itâ he smirked
âBecause of this bitchâ I stared at chloe and she shook her head
âNope. Because of my magic. Kind of shocking right?â He said sacarastically and I rolled my eyes
âLook James, letâs just sort this out. I just have to kill youâ I said and froze him.
âBut that the thing-â he muttered a few Latin words and the ice was gone from his body.
âThere is no way to kill me love. And whatâs the point of following destiny? Why donât we change it around? You can stay with me? Me, you and Oliver? A small family. How about that?â He smirked sitting down on a chair
âAre you crazy? No!â I exclaimed and he shook his head
âBut thatâs the thing love, you just have toâ he muttered standing up
âI have a mate! And so do youâ
âMate? Oh I can just get rid of all your memory with Jaxon. And I can do the same with him. So you wonât remember anything. And my mate? I saw her fucking your ex. So you know how that turned out- deadâ he scoffed
âYou killed your own mate? What the fuck!â I exclaimed and he walked towards me.
âLook love, you and me will be together and chloe and Jaxon will be together. Easy! You wonât remember Jaxon and Jaxon wonât remember you!â He replied
âNo!â I shouted and trapped him in a shield of ice.
âYou know you canât keep him in thereâ chloe said as the shield disappeared
âOhâ I mumbled confused.
How am I meant to defeat him if he can get rid of everything I do? I thought as there was a a door opened infront of me.
âSir. Theyâre here.â A guy shouted walking into the room.
âOkay. You know what to do!â James replied and the guy nodded and walked out.
âSo you called your mate? Hmm I thought you were coming alone?â He turned to me smirking
âJaxonâs here? I fucking told him to let me do itâ I mumbled and he. chuckled
âLooks like he doesnât listen to you! It doesnât matter love. He will forgot you soonâ he muttered and walked out the room.
âI-â
âDonât even dareâ I mumbled freezing chloe
âYou are so sleeping outside Jaxon.â I mumbled running out the room.
I was lost! There was so many rooms.
âOiâ someone shouted behind me and I turned around to see a few guys behind me.
I froze them and ran into a room to see Oliver, and a few girls sat around him.
âStop herâ one of them yelled and I froze them all.
âCome here Oliâ I mumbled and he ran to me
âMommy that was so cool.â Oli said hugging me
âI know baby. I missed you so much. We have to get out of here okay?â I said as he let me go
âOkay mommyâ he said and I nodded
âYou have to be quiet.â I whispered and he nodded
âOkay mommyâ he whispered and I stood up. I picked him up and put him on my hip
âHold onto me tight. Okayâ I whispered and he nodded and wrapped his small arms around my neck.
I walked out the room to see a few guys running towards me.
I froze them and Oli gasped
âThat was so cool mommy. Your like Maxâ he exclaimed and I covered his mouth.
âShush baby. We need to be quietâ I said and he nodded
We walked out another room to see a forest. And it was empty.
âBaby. You need to be strong for me okay. Iâm going to put you in this big tree, okay. And you have to hold on tight. Donât let go or come down, unless I tell you or you see your dadâ I explained flying up the tree
âMy mommy is a superheroâ he exclaimed as I put him on the highest branch, that was covered by leaves.
âOli listen to me. I want you to hold this branch okay?â I said and he nodded and he grabbed the branch.
âAre we playing hide and seek with daddy?â He asked and I nodded
âYep. So you have to be quiet so daddy canât hear you okay?â I said and he nodded
âOkay mommy. Where are you going to hide?âhe asked and I shrugged
âIâm going to find a place to hide. I love youâ I whispered kissing his forehead
âI love you too mommyâ he whispered back and I flew back down. I touched the ground just as I saw mom and Carter.
âOh sweetieâ mom hugged me and I hugged her back
âHi mom. What are you guys doing here. I told Jaxon I have to do this aloneâ I mumbled walking away from the tree as mom let me go.
âWeâre here to helpâ she said and I nodded
âOkay if you find James, just let me knowâ I mumbled and they both nodded and split up.
I flew back up to the sky to see, everyone fighting. I saw Jaxon fighting people. There were wolves fighting against wolves. So many people fighting, and all because of me.
âHello loveâ I heard James say behind me and I quickly turned around.
âLook whatâs happening down there. All because of us! People are dying James. Why donât you just leave us aloneâ I exclaimed and he smirked
âReally? And sacrifice everything I have done to get you and me together? I tired so many things to make us together. Losing your memory so we can be together. The only reason I left you in Florida was because I knew you wouldnât believe it, if I just said I was your boyfriend or husband. So I thought if I left you alone and we just met up randomly, we could have had something. How to fuck was I meant to know that Charles will take you in. You were so lucky I couldnât find you by hIâm hI ding your scent. I tried everything. But them when I realised you were living with Charles I felt stupid. Charles is a fucking wizard, thatâs the reason I couldnât find you. But now I have you to all myselfâ he shouted pulling me to ground. We were in a small clearing.
âThis is not right James.â I explained pushing him away
âThis is right. You are meant to be for me. The moon goddess made a mistake. And Iâm going to fix itâ he shouted just as mom and Carter ran to me
âYour not understanding!â Mom shouted and he shook his head
âI understand very well Skylar. You all think you can kill me? But you canât. If you kill me then all of these people everyone is fighting against will die. All these people are illusions. Thatâs how fucked up you areâ he yelled
âWe are going to kill youâ Carter said and James smirked
âYou think killing me is easy? The only way to kill me is my bethany using all of her powers together, meaning she dies. Do you want your daughter to die skylar?â He smirked
âThere must be another way.â Mom mumbled and he nodded
âThere is another way to get rid of me! Just give me bethany and Iâll leave everyone aloneâ he said and mom shook her head
" No!â She exclaimed and I sighed
âThis is stupid!â I muttered and created a storm around James but it disappeared
âLike I told you! Why donât you try something else?â He asked and Carter touched the ground. The grass grew around James but then it disappeared
âFucking assholeâ I yelled as Jaxon ran to me with everyone behind him.
âKilled them already?â James smirked and Jaxon growled
âWhereâs my son!â Jaxon asked growling and James chuckled
âYou are a little slow, your mate here already took him, right love? He is playing hide and seek right?â He smirked
âLeave us alone James . Weâre giving you a chance. Leave us alone and we forgot about all of thisâ dad said walking closer to him
âNo! If you give me bethany I will leave.â James said and Jaxon growled
âNo!â He shouted and James smirked
âOh well. I did let you guys knowâ James said and I was confused.
âWha-â all of a sudden I was in a big bubble with James smirking at me.
âWhere did she go?â Dad muttered
âI did tell you bethany. I will get you love. And now I have you! Me and you will live happily ever afterâ he said walking closer to me
âhappily ever after? With you? No James. I will live happily ever after with Jaxonâ I muttered
âOh but your here with meâ he said and I shook my head
âWe gave you a chance James. And you didnât take it.â I explained and he shook his head
âIf you do it bethany, you will dieâ he said nervously
âI gave you a chance James. And if protecting my family means dying then I am okay with thatâ I mumbled closing my eyes
I thought of all of my powers together. I opened my eyes to see my hands shaking
âBethany stop!â He yelled and I knew my eyes were changing colour
âI told you James. I told you so many timesâ I yelled and he shook his head
âOkay fineâ he exclaimed and I shook my head
âItâs over nowâ I mumbled and pushed my hands out towards him, a big yellow light exploded from my hands and the bubble around us exploded.
âCherryâ I heard Jaxon shout and I smiled closing my eyes
âI did itâ I Mumbled as Jaxon caught me.
âCherry wake up!â He shouted
âI am awake Jaxon. Iâm standing right next to youâ I said and he kept shaking a body on the floor.
Where am I? I mumbled walking around Jaxon to see I was dead on the floor and James was lying down dead as well.
âBethanyâ I heard an angelic voice behind me. I turned around to see a young woman, with blond hair and blue eyes, standing next to me in a beautiful white dress.
âMoon goddess?â I questioned and she nodded
âIâm proud of you bethany. You sacrificed everything to save the supernatural race.â She said and I smiled
âI was chosen to do it. But whatâs going on here?â I asked turning back to see Jaxon shifting into his wolf and ripping James from limp to limp
âYou died. To save the world you sacrificed yourselfâ she said and I nodded slowly
âSo I wonât be able to go back?â I asked and she shook her head
âIâm sorry child. There is no way to go backâ she said, I sighed and nodded
âCherry wake up. Please. You promisedâ I heard Jaxon shouted walking back to my dead body.
âJaxon, sheâs no moreâ dad mumbled to him and he shook his head tears rolling down his face.
âCherry wake up! Pleaseâ he pleaded running a hand threw my hair.
âI think its time to goâ the moon goddess said
âCan I stay a little longer?â I asked and she shook her head
âIâm sorry child. But you will meet new people. Your parents as wellâ she said and I nodded
âOkayâ I mumbled and a white light appeared
Goodbye Jaxon.
