This chapter and the one before it were supposed to be just one chapter but it got too long. I learnt that chapters that are too long are really expensive that's why I split it into two so it wouldn't cost you so much to read. Keep reading, thank you, XOXO
ADAIRA~I don't think I've ever wanted anything more than I wished I had the power of telekinesis right now. It was morning and the sun was out. Because the curtains were open and because I had the worst luck on the planet, the sunlight was beaming directly at my face. If I had telekinesis, I would just close the curtains with my mind without having to stand up from the bed or maybe I would just just move the sun away instead but it was all wishful thinking on my part.A deep chuckle came from behind me and a strong hand wrapped around my midriff and pulled me closer to a warm hard body."No one can move the sun, mate, but I can close the curtains for you if the sunlight offends you so much." A deep, sleepy voice said to me as the owner of the voice kissed the back of my neck.The voice of the person that spoke to me was definitely male, and I wanted to ask how he knew what I was thinking but even speaking seemed like too much at this point. I was exhausted."You smell delicious this
ADAIRA ~ Gavrael chuckled. “My other halves aren’t crazy, they’re just really demanding and like to have things done their way.” He said and my eyes widened. So I wasn’t wrong, he was actually reading my mind. What sorcery is this? How was he able to access my mind so freely? I checked my mental barrier and it was still intact. After every first shift, we were taught how to protect our minds from being forcefully accessed by another through a mind link. This way, you can feel the person’s presence if they want to mind link you, determine if it’s friend or foe, and then allow the person to slip through the barrier to talk to you if you want. Only Alphas could talk to anyone of their pack members through mind link even with a mental barrier. That was why Tyler was so surprised that I had been able to keep him out of my mind when he tried to speak to me through the mind link while I was still caged. “Why are you so surprised?” Gavrael asked me with an amused smile. “We are mated now
ADAIRA~Gavrael wasn’t fighting fair and he knew it. It was hard to even think, let alone speak while he was thrusting into me so savagely and using my body’s pleasure to confuse me. I was so close to having an orgasm and by refusing him, I knew he would leave me unfulfilled. But I couldn’t let him mold me into his perfect little doll, good to fuck and have pleasure with but not good to converse with. I had a mind and will of my own and if he wasn’t willing to make room for it, then he didn’t deserve me. He expected me to give him my all while he only gave me his dick. That wasn’t enough for me and I wasn’t willing to settle for less no matter the consequences, and no matter how good it felt to fuck him..“C-cell.” I moaned but instead of stopping like I expected, he tossed me on my back on the bed and was back inside me before I could take my next breath.He put my legs on his shoulders and my eyes rolled back in my head at his next thrust. I groaned as I came hard enough to see sta
ADAIRA ~ I was terrified, but not because I was locked up in a damp dungeon but because I knew that Gavrael wasn’t making empty threats. He was really going to attack the Grenshaw pack because of my decision. I tried to talk to him through our mate bond countless times but he refused to reply to me. I tried to break down the bars of the cell but it was fortified with silver which I hadn’t noticed before but shouldn’t be surprising since these dungeon cells were made to hold violent criminals. I tried to find another means of escape to at least try and warn the Grenshaw pack about Gavrael’s visit but it was futile. The truth was that even if I had managed to escape and somehow get to the pack before Gavrael and his rogues, the Grenshaw pack would still fall. Gavrael was too strong to be defeated by normal means and his rogues were somehow strengthened by him, the Grenshaw warriors would stand no chance against him even though they were fierce fighters. The only option of survival wou
GAVRAEL ~ As my shifters prepared themselves to leave for battle, I felt Adaira trying to talk to me through the mate bond but I refused to respond to her. I could feel her sorrow and it was agitating my wolf, he wanted to comfort his mate but my demon half held him back. Before now, every part of me was in sync, we all wanted the same thing, it was just like I told Adaira, we were the same being. But now, she was making me begin to see each part of me as different personalities, and it wasn’t helping that each part of me now wanted a different thing. The human side felt like we were overreacting and Adaira was actually right to say we weren’t treating her properly. The wolf just wanted to be close to his mate and fuck the living daylights out of her, make her so delirious with pleasure that there would be no room for argument. While the demon half is extremely angry that he was denied, he wanted to teach Adaira a lesson. “Is this how you want me to accept you? By killing even more
ADAIRA ~ I tried so hard to block Gavrael from my mind but he wasn’t kidding when he said we had a stronger bond. Nothing I did worked, and despite how far he was from me now, I still felt every one of his emotions as strongly as if they were my own. I knew he had arrived at the Grenshaw pack because I could feel his absolute delight and satisfaction, and I sometimes got flashes of the fight that was ongoing. Judging from the time he stopped speaking to me and when he arrived at Grenshaw, there was no way that they had run there, he must have teleported his whole pack with him to hasten the process, he was that eager to wage war. My wolf and I were sad, and I howled in sorrow till I had no more energy left in me to make another sound. The battle didn’t last long, I knew it was over when I felt Gavrael victory howl. I really hated how strong our mate bond was. Whoever fated me to him must be having a laugh at my expense, I wondered if it was the moon goddess, surely she wouldn’t be s
ADAIRA ~ I ached all over. I never expected to feel pain in the afterlife. Or is this some sort of punishment for indirectly taking my own life when it wasn’t my time to die yet? But if this was punishment, I doubt it would feel like this. It was dark, but I was lying on something soft, and I wasn’t cold anymore, I felt really warm. Maybe my punishment came with a little leniency because of how shitty my life had been before I died. But why was it so dark? “It’s so dark because your eyes are closed.Open your eyes, mate.” A male voice chuckled with amusement. My eyes snapped open of their own accord and then widened in horror as I sat up and looked around. I was in a room, and I immediately noted that we had moved from the Brookstone pack because of the room’s decor and furnishing. The Brookstone pack house had one colour theme and most of the furnishings were elegant but ancient . This room was designed to be tastefully modern. The room wasn’t the reason for my terror, it was the
ADAIRA~My claws were just a second away from slicing off his neck when he vanished and materialised behind me. He grabbed my hair and bent me over the bedside drawer with my hands pinned behind my back. How on earth does he move so fast? My best quality as a warrior was my speed, yet, Gavrael moved faster than my eyes could even follow. Though, to be fair to myself, his teleportation power gave him an unfair advantage over me. I reared back and tried to headbutt him with the back of my head but he easily deflected that by controlling my head with the fist he had in my hair.“It’s amusing how you always try to kill me whenever you get the chance to do so even when you know that you can’t kill me.” Gavrael chuckled as I struggled to free myself.I was fighting with all my strength but he held me like it didn’t even take any conscious effort on his part to keep me held down. It was like I was just a toothpick he was holding and could easily break if he chose to.“Because you deserve to
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
