ADAIRA ~ I wanted to remind him that I just sucked him off and my mouth still had his taste, but he didn’t seem to care about that. I was so horny that even just being pressed against him felt incredibly good. He pinned me to him as he kissed me like my lips held the nectar of the gods. I could feel how strong his desire was and it made me shiver. My hard nipples rubbed against his chest and I was so wet that my inner thighs were sticky. “Mine.” He growled loud enough for everyone to hear and the next thing I knew, I was flat on my back on the table. He spread my legs, but before I had a chance to protest, his head was already between my legs. I moaned loud enough to wake the dead and grabbed on to his hair as his tongue stroked my heated flesh. The tempo of the drums matched the rhythm of my fast beating heart, I could feel how heated the air became, and it wasn’t because of the fire. Packs could usually feel the emotions of their Alpha, if the emotion was strong enough. Gavrael w
ADAIRA~“These wolves have refused to bow to me or acknowledge my rule. In their own words, they would rather die than become my subjects. But if I just kill them, where’s the fun in that?” Gavrael said and his rogues and some of the guest Alphas like Tyson and Gilbert laughed with them.“So, I’ve decided to grant them mercy… if they’re strong enough to take it. They will have the honour of fighting my guests, each match is to the death. If they win, they’re free to leave, if not, well, then they’ll get their wish of serving me over their dead body.”Seriously? A death match was his entertainment? Just when I thought he couldn’t possibly get any worse he proves me wrong.“I’d rather die than fight for your entertainment.” One of the chained males said with an angry growl.“Well, I could grant your wish right now, but I promised everyone a show, and I always keep my promises.” Gavrael said with a smirk and stretched his hands towards them.But instead of killing the male that spoke, h
ADAIRA~"You don't even know what punishment I intend for her, yet you say you will take her place. What if it's more than you can handle? What happens then?" Gavrael asked me with a bored expression."I'm sure I've already proved to you that I can handle anything you throw at me. I don't care what it is as long as she's free from it. I will not allow her to be punished in her condition. I don't expect you to understand how precious new life is because you have no regard for the ones already living. Just give me your word that no harm will come to her." I replied to him."As long as you serve in her stead, she will remain unharmed. But if you decide to quit for any reason, she will serve her original punishment. She will be stripped and publicly whipped by the sister of the rogue she killed. Then she will stay in a cell till the day she delivers." He said.Over my dead body would I let that happen."I won't quit." I said to him and he smirked."We'll see." He simply replied. I had e
GAVRAEL ~ Adaira had a way of driving me crazy without even expending much effort. Just when I thought we were getting along, she decides to be stubborn. What would come of disobeying me and sitting on the floor? Sure, I locked her up in the room, and I knew she wasn’t comfortable with what I had the girl dress her in. But she’s unharmed, staying in the room is better than the cell, is it not? And does she not see how fucking breathtaking she looks in that dress. I was hard from the second I set my eyes on her. I loved seeing every male in the vicinity look at her, lust after her and want her while also knowing that she would never be theirs, that she was mine alone. It made me so damn horny, even if it was messed up, but I never claimed to be sane. In fact, sanity seems to leave immediately I’m in Adaira’s presence. It was so easy to lose control where she was concerned, she riled me so easily it was annoying. I should have better control over my emotions but she knew just how to
ADAIRA~My duties began the next morning. The sun was not even up yet when I was woken up rudely by the male I was fated to. He grabbed the blanket that was wrapped around me and tugged on it till I rolled off the bed and landed with a thud on the floor.“Get your ass up.”I groaned as I sat up and rubbed the arm I landed on, then I glared at him from my position on the floor.“Wht the fuck is wrong with you?”“I should be asking you that, Adaira. What slave do you know that is allowed to sleep in when they should be working?” He asked as he tossed the blanket on the bed.Last night, after making our bargain, he had drunk from me and the pleasure was so intense that it was nearly impossible to resist fucking him as well, but somehow I found the herculean strength to do so. He was annoyed that I didn’t let him have me, but he was too sated after drinking my blood to actually get angry, so he just left my room.Now he was back to pester me. It wasn’t like it was actually too early, I w
ADAIRA~I shouldn’t have spoken too soon. I should have known that Gavrael really had something gruesome planned for me today. I was ecstatic to meet my grandmother, and I wanted us to have a little chat before I started working, but she said I had a lot to do and we would talk later. I don’t know if she was just stalling for time because she knew what I wanted to talk about and she didn’t want to have the conversation, or if she was really telling the truth. There were other females apart from me already up and dressed, ready to work, and I thought that meant she was wrong about me having too much to do. I assumed that the workload would go faster since it was being shared between us all but the bulk of the chores were assigned to me according to Gavrael’s instructions.Because of how busy I was throughout the day, I hadn’t been able to find time to talk to my grandmother about telling me what she knew about Gavrael. We spoke sometimes when we were working in proximity, but it was n
ADAIRA~Even after asking him what he wanted, he still didn’t speak. Was he trying to pretend that he wasn’t here? I could feel him so it was impossible for me not to know he was here, he must know that.“Just say what you want to say and go. As you can see, I don’t have the strength to argue with you, I can barely lift my head or any of my limbs, thanks to you. So what do you want?” I said to him.He was silent for a few more minutes before he finally spoke.“I just want to talk.” He said and I scoffed.“You want to talk? Or you came here to gloat? To rub it in my face that you warned me that this punishment wouldn’t be easy and you proved yourself right by wearing me out. Thanks but no thanks, just leave me alone.” I replied to him.“You’re the one who was so eager to talk to me, and now you’re chasing me away now that I’m here, yet you say I’m the confusing one. It’s me, Gav.”I managed to turn my head just as he stepped out of the shadows and the dim illumination from the moonlig
ADAIRA~The next day, Gavrael was back to being his prickly self. My first task today was to join him and his rogues while they trained and hand them towels and water where needed. So I was basically an errand girl. My wolf was restless within me as she watched them spar and train, because she wanted to join in. It had been so long since I let out my aggression by physically exerting myself till my limbs were weak. I missed feeling the adrenaline coursing through my veins while I fought, missed the rush of endorphins after a successful workout session, missed the sweat and grime and the cold shower afterwards followed by a hearty breakfast to stave the hunger and appetite I must have worked up. I wasn’t allowed to join them while they trained and it irked me.Or maybe what really annoyed me was seeing Midi all over Gavrael as usual. Seriously, the girl was like a leech and he didn’t do anything to discourage her. She was dressed in a pair of tiny cutoff shorts that barely covered her
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
