'Once In A Blue Moon' (ON HOLD)

Chapter Sixteen

August 1914 

Violet's POV

"This is ridiculous, stupid mundanes constantly fighting over something as trivial as death." Cas shouts. 

"Calm down child, no one in this house will take part in that war. We may have sworn an oath to protect the humans from the supernatural, but not from each other." Genevieve says calmingly, our relationship has finally started to fix itself. I was reinstated as a Beta and now take my duties seriously, I can't risk losing Gen. 

"Only the ones who choose to go, will go. And they will be protected by the Moon Goddess. Right Gen?" Jess says nervously. 

"Gerard will be fine, Jess."

"I know, I'm just frightened for him. I don't know what would happen if I lost him." Jessica finally found her mate earlier this year. An army general called Gerard Knapp, at first she was worried that he would die in the war and that she'd never be truly happy. Gen being the person she is reassured her that he would be protected as would everyone else's mates who chose to fight. Our pack has gained many new members, some being pups others being made by mother across the globe, Gen has not been challenged and all the Alpha's in the world obey her command. The DarkStone pack has been thriving, no trouble has occurred the last few years in the supernatural world. 

However the Rogue threat has grown exponentially, the witches have joined in their crusade. We have dispatched many of the threats but there is still one there. Our pack is constantly being asked to kill those Rogues that threaten the packs around the world, we do it gladly, protecting our friends is what we are made for. A series of knocks sound on the front door, shocking the others from there conversation. Gen brushes down her dress and touches her hair to make sure it's still in place, there are many rules for the women nowadays and it is frowned upon to not obey them. She pulls open the wooden door and studies the men stood there, their army uniforms showing authority. 

"How may I help you sir?" she says sweetly. 

"We are looking for men to sign up to the war effort. May we come in?" they ask in German. We currently reside in our German home to avoid exposure, everyone prefers the one on the outskirts of London. The one that me and Vi built all those years ago, I look around the house and clear it up quickly. I cover the noise coming from the Lycans so that the soldiers do not know how many of us there actually are. Gen notices quickly and gestures the soldiers into the kitchen. 

"Where are the men woman?" He says gruffly, Gen cringes at the sound desperately fighting off the urge to kill him. 

"I shall fetch them for you." She replies, her German impeccable. She walks out of the room to grab those who signed up for the war effort. Gerard, Lee, James, Luke and Zeke walk in, they are some of the oldest Lycans in our home. Lee and James were friends of Brandon, Zeke and Luke are Gen and I's children and Gerard - Jess's mate. 

"What can we do for you soldier?" Gerard asks authoritatively. 

"We are here to collect those who are joining the army. And force those who won't." the leader says. They continue to talk in German for a few more moments, something to do with 'no more men in the house to join.'

"What about him?" he says pointing at Castor, Clara -Castor's mate- cringes. 

"He is the man that brings in the money, we need him to bring us what we need." Gen says softly, she's considering using compulsion to get rid of this man. I lock my mind on to the man and search his thoughts. He seems to have a large liking towards Gen, he is a war general, same as Gerard and he is twenty three. He looks towards Gen's left hand searching it for a wedding ring, when he sees there isn't one he smiles widely.
