Gavrael seems to have forgotten that he's mated to a crazy female. What do you think the strange occurrence with her grandmother's death means? any ideas?
ADAIRA~Gavrael and I were like flint and tinder, one strikes so the other would burn from the flames that arise. Right now, he was the flint, daring me, trying to force me to react, to explode with all the anger bottled up inside me. And I was the tinder, so pliable, and willing to ignite with flames that would burn us both so good we would never want to leave.“Tell me mate, what will you do?” He asked as he grabbed one of my thighs and lifted that leg up so he could put it around his waist.He rolled his hips forward, and in this position, I could feel all of him press into my core. I loathed the clothes between us, his sweatpants and my jeans. I wanted to tear off the fabrics separating us so badly, so I could feel him against my skin.“What will you do if I decide to fuck her or any other female in my pack?” He asked as he nuzzled my neck.The anger that had been slowly dissipating because of his touch, rose again and I shoved him away.“I will kill them all, and then I will kil
ADAIRA~Gavrael and I didn’t leave his room till we both passed out in the wee hours of the night. I was wrapped up in his arms like that was where I was meant to be, and we fit together like we were made for each other. But I didn’t let myself dwell on it, I was too tired to fight it, and cuddling with him felt good. The chaotic energy that was always present underneath his skin and his essence even felt calmer as we stayed in bed together. But just before dawn, I woke up and decided to leave. The first time, the second I moved, he tightened his grip on me and I had to stay still till he settled back to sleep. The second time, I got out of the bed carefully, and thankfully, he was so exhausted that he didn’t realise I was leaving the bed. Or so I thought.After realising that my shredded clothes were a lost cause, I tiptoed to his wardrobe to find something to wear. I could leave naked, but I didn’t want to. It was stupid and pathetic, but I wanted to take a piece of him with me whi
ADAIRA~It turned out that everyone else had also forgotten that my grandmother had been alive yesterday, it wasn’t just grandpa and Gaby like I had initially thought. Everyone I tried to ask if they had seen her yesterday just looked at me with sympathy like my grief of losing her was making me delusional. I tried to ask Midi, because she was the last rogue to have seen my grandmother as far as I knew, but she sneered at me before I even opened my mouth so I walked away from her. Like Gaby had said, Gavrael gave us instructions on all the things he wanted done for the day, and we divided the tasks among ourselves. He only specified that I must take more of the workload, and that I must do the most gruesome tasks. Since he seemed not to have noticed my grandmother’s absence, he too must have also forgotten about her existence which was really weird. I had expected him to at least remember because he was really powerful. Whatever caused their memory loss must be stronger than him, whi
ADAIRA ~I was able to get away from Midi and her little minions after they tried to mess with me. Gavrael still hadn’t shown up to torment me, or just annoy me with his presence, and I hated how much I missed having him close. I could still sense him, I knew he was close because of the bond we shared, though I couldn’t say exactly where unless I decided to follow the tug of the bond to his location. But pride made me not seek him out. If he wanted to ignore me all day, then so be it. Goddess forbid that I stoop so low as to seek out his company. But I had to leave the main pack house where we were because the compulsion to go to him was getting even stronger, and I was afraid that if I stayed in the house a little longer, I would give in and just go find him.I had nowhere to go because I was done with my duties for the day, and Midi wasn’t available to boss me around anymore. So I decided to do something I have been avoiding since we all came here, I went to see my parents. They we
ADAIRA~I raised my voice as they began to argue. My father was more at fault here than anyone else, but as usual, he shifted the blame to my mother. Some days, I wondered if they were fated mates or if they had just chosen each other. Fated mate bonds were stronger than chosen mate bonds, that’s why a lot of shifters preferred to wait for their fated mates, no matter how long it took. I had this doubt because I knew from experience how strong the fated mate bond is, there can only be this much animosity for a really strong reason like what Gavrael and I have. But the arguments I’ve seen my parents have over the years sometimes seem too extreme because it was mostly for petty reasons. The way my father glared at my mother and sneered at her with so much disdain because of me didn’t seem like the behaviour of a fated mate. Even though Gavrael and I were constantly at each other’s throats, our mate bond was still palpable when we were close to each other.I would have assumed that the
ADAIRA ~ “Quit the self righteous bullshit, Adaira.” Tyler said from his cell. “Do you really believe that you’re so important to him that your refusal to accept him is somehow holding him back? Open your eyes and stop being delusional. In case you haven’t noticed, he could have any one he wanted, the females in his pack would do anything to be in his bed. The females from my pack, and those from the pack you ran to may despise him, but his power draws them in like a moth to a flame. They may be afraid, but even through that fear, his aura is magnetic. Even the males feel it, even if not in a sexual way. Do you think a male like that who never lacks attention would care about one female’s rejection? You can’t even truly reject him anymore because he already marked you, so what makes you think you matter enough to influence him?” “Tyler, if you don’t shut that mouth of yours. I swear to the goddess that I will break those bones of yours even more.” I growled at him but he just chuck
GAVRAEL ~ I was seated by the desk in the corner of the room I had taken for myself, next to Adaira’s room, when I heard a knock on the door and immediately knew it was Midi. I could detect the presence of most shifters, not just by smell alone, but by their aura, smell could be unreliable. And it was yet another thing I could do that normal shifters couldn’t. I gave her permission to come in, and she walked in wearing a flimsy material that gave me an unhindered view of her body. Shifters weren’t really bothered by nudity, it was normal to see naked people walking around after changing from their wolf form, but Midi was here for a purpose. The female always came back no matter how many times I rejected her. It was obvious even to a blind person that I didn’t want her. If only my mate could be this desperate to be mine. I could hardly stand Midi’s presence, or any other female like her that always tried to get my attention, but I let them stay close just to piss my mate off. Seeing
ADAIRA~I was speechless as I watched him continue to pleasure himself despite my interruption. I should be disgusted by his shameless behaviour, instead, my mouth was completely dry because all the moisture in my system had migrated between my legs. He looked so decadent seated there, like a meal you know you shouldn’t have but can’t resist tasting. I totally forgot about my anger and my reason for seeking him out in the first place as I stared at him like I had never seen him before. His eyes were brown, and he looked so relaxed, but frustrated. I could see it in his facial expression, feel it through our bond, he wanted pleasure but his hand wasn’t giving it to him the way he wanted.“I know you can feel it, Ira.” He said to me in a deep, husky tone that promised to fulfil all of my dark desires if I gave into it.And he hadn’t called me Ira in a while. He was the only one who called me this, and I realised that I didn’t hate the name as much as I had claimed to when he first sa
EPILOGUE ~ Using up so much power drained both me and Gavrael, and we both passed out almost immediately after. We didn’t wake up till after two whole days because our bodies shut down to heal and recuperate. When we finally woke up, we discovered that using so much power had broken the hold of the third souls we each had. I no longer possessed Selene’s soul and Gavrael no longer possessed the soul of the demon king. Their essence had returned to the volcano realm after their souls split from ours. They couldn’t be killed, she was a goddess and he was a god, but it would take a long time for them to recreate a physical form. For now, I was just happy that we would no longer be the victims of an age long war. Then came another problem, the issue of Gavrael’s possessiveness. He was no longer under the control of the demon king, but now that he knew I was pregnant, his wolf was just as easily pissed off as he was before. It was usual for the mates of pregnant females to become very ter
GAVRAEL ~ He calls himself Zephyr, and seeing him manhandle my mate made me angry. But my anger wasn’t enough to break myself from his hold and regain control of my body. “Kill them all, I’ll deal with her. I could only watch as he took Adaira away from the battlefield, knowing that she was their only hope to win the battle against his beasts. “How does it feel having so much power but being unable to use it? You trapped me for centuries, took my memories, took my powers, kept me in this mortal body. This is just a slight taste of that. So tell me how it feels to hate what’s happening but not be able to do anything about it?” I could feel his amusement as she tried in vain to free herself from his grip. He was enjoying her struggles and her helplessness. I couldn’t even reach out to her to at least let her know that despite everything, I was still in here even if I’ve been pushed so far deep in my subconscious that I didn’t know the way out. But he had put an impenetrable barrie
ADAIRA ~ Gavrael is gone and there is no way for me to get to him. I wanted to use my powers to get across to the nether realm but Theia warned me not to do so because I would never be able to defeat him in his realm, he was stronger there. Our best chance of winning this battle is here in this realm, which means we have to wait for Gavrael’s return. By the looks of things, he would not be returning as my mate but as the demon king, with an army meant to obliterate us all. “There has to be something else we can do.” I said to Theia after waiting for an hour with no sign of Gavrael or any danger. My wolf was restless because my bond to Gavrael was so faint now that I had to search deep before I could feel it. I was terrified. What if the demon king somehow finds a way to sever our bond, how would I be able to reach my mate and bring him back? “You need to calm down. Your restlessness is affecting your pack. They’re already dreading the fight we all have coming, and they only stayed
GAVRAEL ~Heat, rage and pain. Those were the only emotions flowing through me at this moment. It was like my blood had been exchanged with lava and my head was being drilled open by a thousand nails. I felt the power of the full blood moon before it even rose and cast its reddish hue over the earth. This past week, I had to stay away from everyone except Adaira because I was losing my temper at the slightest provocation. I knew it was just because of what was coming that my restraint was shitty but at the same time, I couldn’t control myself which led to my isolation in order to protect everyone from me. Adaira was the only one whose presence I could tolerate even in those moments. And the second those rays of light from the full blood moon touched the earth, everything became worse.Heat, rage, pain. Nothing else mattered but these, and the demon whose soul was bound to me feasted on them delightfully. He was much stronger now and he was actively fighting me for control of my body.
ADAIRA~I was eating more than normal out of anxiety. It was still better than worrying myself to death and overthinking everything though. My sleeping schedule was also wack but that was understandable. The full blood moon would rise tomorrow night and I just couldn’t bring myself to sleep even if it still was hours away. My wolf on the other hand was calm and mostly silent. After the night of the pack bonding ceremony where we all shifted to wolf form and ran as one pack to strengthen the pack bonds, she hadn’t made a push to be set free which was unusual. Usually, if I stayed for more than two days without shifting, she would be angsty and restless, whining to be set free, and I would have to shift and run even if for a few minutes. But it’s been days without shifting and she was still calm, I had no idea why and I was too preoccupied with everything else happening to try and figure it out. Maybe she understood the complexity of the situation we were in and was just trying to help
ADAIRA ~ It took two days of mating almost all round the clock for my heat to die down and for the both of us to regain our senses. And as this problem was solved, another problem presented itself, our lives were just a myriad of problems nowadays but who’s counting. When we returned to the pack after my heat passed, almost all the other packs had come to join us, just two were left and they were expected to arrive in a few hours. But as I passed through the crowd, all the males were still attuned to my scent even though I was no longer in heat. Females were also drawn to my scent but it didn’t make them lust after me like it was confusing the males. It was a big problem because it was causing chaos and it was making everyone restless, and I had no idea why it was happening. In fact, it seemed to be even worse now than when I was actually in heat. Sage wolves had also been arriving from the human towns close by. They were wary but they were all put together in one house to await my
ADAIRA ~ Just as expected, the rest of the pack took the news of Sage wolves with varying degrees of disgust, shock and wariness. When we announced the merger into one mega pack, they were even more shocked and awed. There were obviously protests especially when we let them know that we planned to get messages across to Sage wolves in hiding and have them come here to join the pack. But we also explained the great danger that would be coming against us and that we would only be able to defeat them if we work together. Next we let anyone with ideas step forward and speak. There was so much to be done; clearing the surrounding forest for instance, so those that would come to join us would have room to build their own houses, plans to build another general pack house where meals can be taken by a larger group because eating together was a shifter custom meant to ensure the pack bonds remain strong, same as hunting in a group and running as a pack on some full moons. There would also be
ADAIRA~I moved closer and held Theia’s mother by the hand. I forced myself to relax and put every doubt out of my mind. If I could protect the whole pack with the barrier, this was nothing compared to that. I didn’t really know what to envision, last night, it had been easier to see a barrier forming in my mind just like Gavrael directed. But now, do I imagine her using powers? Or imagine me giving her powers?It turned out that I didn’t need to do all that. While holding her hands, I felt some sort of vacuum, a hole in her essence. A missing piece. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that that must be the part of her where her powers used to reside, all I needed to do was to fill it up. I reached out to her with my own essence and I vaguely heard her gasp as she was zapped with it. Her hands were released from mine as she crumpled to the floor and her husband rushed to make sure she was okay.I opened my eyes to see that she was faintly glowing for a few seconds before the glow died do
ADAIRA~I was getting weird looks from everyone that saw me today. After eating by midnight and talking for a while, Gavrael and I had gone back to bed to sleep and woke up after dawn but later than usual, we were entitled to sleeping in after everything that happened after all. But as we left the room to join the others for breakfast, everyone was either looking at me with awe or fear or both. I figured out why when Gaby walked closer to us to speak to me.”Ady, did you really… you know, do that stuff?” She asked.She seemed unsure of how to ask her question and if she should even ask it. I also didn’t understand what exactly she was talking about, so I asked.“What stuff?”“The warriors that fought with you, they showed all of us what you did. We weren’t there but we could see it from their minds. It still seems a bit hard to believe. You were flying or floating, I don’t know, and you were glowing, and there was so much light. And you burned the dead ones, none of the creatures cou
