ADAIRA

~

“I know I messed up, Adaira. Believe me, I do. I realise it now. Saying sorry will never make up for all my wrong doings, so please, let me show you how much I regret my actions. Don’t give up on me now, I need you. Give me a second chance.” He said.

“That sounds like an order.”

“It isn’t. Please, Ira, will you give me a second chance?” He asked.

For several seconds after we had this exchange, I was silent. I just stared at him while he stayed waiting for my reply. It was a bit cruel to keep him hanging that way but it was nowhere near what he has done to me so far so I felt no guilt for it. No matter what, even if he saved me, I don't owe him any sympathy, I don't even owe him a reply.

"I'm starving." I simply said as I got off the bed.

"I'll send a message and have food delivered to you here." He said but I shook my head.

"No. I'm tired of staying here. I want to stretch my legs a bit. It should be around dinner time now. After taking a shower, I'll join the others to prepa

    ADAIRA~“Try me, Adaira. Think of anything you know will hurt me. I will take it if that’s what will convince you fully that I’m ready to do this. Yes, change may not always be slow, you made your point, but this particular change, I don’t know how to do it. I could ravage an entire pack in minutes, snap someone’s neck in less than a second, yes, because it’s what I know how to do. But I don’t know how to be… nice. It’s not in my nature. Or maybe it was, but you have to understand, I’ve had centuries to nurture my anger and grow it. It is all I’ve known for that long, it’s not easy to just let it go, but I’m willing to do so… for you.”Truth be told, the idea of making him do something he would hate was even more tempting right now. A good mate would forgive him immediately. But I’ve been the good mate for so long, maybe it’s time to switch roles for a bit, at least before he wears down my resilience* with his pleas. He was probably thinking I would give him something physical like m

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   WHAT HAPPENED TO TAMIKA

    ADAIRA ~ “Whoa, take it easy. You’re eating like you haven’t had a meal in days.” Ethelle said as she came into the kitchen to pick more trays of food to continue serving in the hall. My mouth was filled with food so I couldn’t reply to her, I just kept chewing. Shifters usually consumed way more food than humans because of our faster metabolism, but I was eating more than usual. For some reason, I felt ravenous. Maybe because, yet again, I was close to death. But I had quite a lot to eat before sleeping, though to be fair, I slept for so long. “I know you said you would tell us what happened, but from how much you're eating, I’m guessing he locked you somewhere without food since you disappeared. How cruel.” Gaby said. I still couldn’t speak since I was still chewing so I just shook my head to indicate that he actually hadn’t locked me up. My capture was his fault in a way, but not because he kept me confined in a cell like she was thinking. They all came and went so many times

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   GETTING HIM INVOLVED

    ADAIRA ~ “It’s just you and me now. Tell me what happened. For these scars to still be here it means that when you were wounded, they were deeper than skin level. I need the truth.” I stayed silent after telling her this and stared at her, giving her time to speak, to be able to tell me the truth. Instead, she began to cry. I brought her closer and stroked her hair while she did so. "I… I don't want to cause you any trouble. Please j.just forget about it." She said when her sobs reduced. "No. Something is wrong, and I need to know what that is. Don't bother trying to convince me otherwise. And our time alone is almost up. You decide if you want this to remain between us or if you want others involved as well." I said to her and she stared at me with wide eyes. "No, don't. No one else must know." She said. "Then tell me." "First, promise me you won't tell anybody what I tell you." She said with earnest* eyes. "I can't make a promise without knowing details. It's a rule of mine.

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   ESCAPE ATTEMPT

    ADAIRA~“Who did this to you?”For several seconds, Tamika could not answer Gavrael’s question. She was too terrified that he was speaking to him, the same way most in my pack were afraid of him. She just stared at the ground near his feet because she was unable to look up at him.“Speak. No harm will come to you as long as you tell the truth, I promise.” He reassured her and she looked at me.She didn’t trust him to keep his word, and why would she? He has been nothing but cruel to them since he took over. And I just broke my promise to her to not tell anyone else about this. But this matter wasn’t something to conceal, it needed to be addressed immediately.“He will not harm you while I am here.” I said to her.She could believe my word on this because she knew that if Gavrael tried to do anything to her, I would protect her even if I needed to use my own body as a shield. That gave her the courage to speak. But before she did, one of Gavrael’s head warriors that was seated at the

I refused to believe it. I could see in her eyes that she was contemplating my words. It may not be in her nature to be vengeful and vindictive, but the idea of getting back at me, making me earn her forgiveness the hard way, was

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   FIGHTING KRAINE

    ADAIRA~I stared at the brown wolf snaring at me and all I felt was anger. I haven’t felt this level of anger in a while and if I really think about it, I’ll realise that I wasn’t just angry at this male for hurting Tamika. What made my anger more potent was the fact that this situation reminded me of my own. It hurts worse when a mate that's supposed to love and care for you, be your shield against the world, ends up being the one to cause you pain and allow others to do the same to you. Tamika doesn’t deserve that and this male does not deserve her. I was thankful that he hadn’t marked her yet, that way, she could reject him. She’s young, there’s still time for her to find a better male to mate. Even if she doesn’t get another fated mate, she can find a good chosen mate to bond with. I’m sure there are males in the pack that would do anything to make her theirs and would treat her right. With Gavrael’s mark on me and mine on him, there was no such hope for me. I'm stuck with him fo

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   UNEXPECTED KISS

    GAVRAEL~I watched every parry and strike with a little bit of fear. After being away from her for days after her capture, seeing the state she was in when I found her and the fact that I knew quite well that she hadn’t fully regained her strength, I couldn’t help but worry. From watching them, I knew what Kraine was trying to do, he was trying to use his bigger size to trip her so her vulnerable underbelly would be exposed to his claws and he could take her out. But she was smart, a seasoned warrior despite my apprehension, so she also knew that was what her opponent was trying to do.I could also guess what her own tactic was. Kraine had a barely noticeable limp from an injury he sustained before I found them all and made them a pack. Adaira noticed it of course, even when most others wouldn’t have, she was just too observant. Back then he had been nothing more than a mindless beast that lost touch with the rational human half of his soul. He must have sustained a twisted or broken

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   WILL HE SUBMIT?

    ADAIRA ~ Was this how Gavrael felt his anger? Was it always this intense? If so then I could somewhat understand why he always wanted to fight, and to kill. I was so angry. It was like my anger had just been accumulating from all the times that I forgave someone for an offence in the past, or overlooked something that should have made me get pissed off. Then now, it all came back like a flood and wanted me to destroy everything around me. Fortunately for everyone else, Gavrael was the perfect target for my level of anger so no one else would bear it. But unfortunately for him, it would not be a pleasant experience. “Calm down, Adaira.” He said to me but his words had the opposite effect on me Instead of getting calm, I became more angry that he was trying to shut me up. “DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!” I yelled. The closest thing to me was the bedside drawer so I used one hand to sweep across it and toss everything on it to the floor. He looked like he was about to complain about me

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   EPILOGUE

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   FINAL BATTLE

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   NEW LIFE

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   RETURN TO THE NETHER REALM

    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.

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   HE LEFT

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   PREPARATION; COUNTDOWN TO THE END

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   SUDDEN HEAT

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   RESTORED

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   WILL IT WORK?

    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
