I honestly didn't expect to still be writing till now, but I don't want to rush the ending so I'm writing it as it flows. The next chapter may or may not be the last chapter, but as a gift to my readers for coming this far, I will make the last chapter or epilogue free.
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
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
PROLOGUE * "You don't seem to understand. I want you with an obsession that borders on absolute madness. The more you resist me, the harder I chase you." "You will never have me." She said and he chuckled darkly. "The thing is, I already do. There's a thin line between enemies and lovers. You. Are. Mine." ~ ADAIRA ~ Is it possible to die of excitement? Or maybe just pass out because you’re so happy you don’t know what else to do? I am the luckiest girl on the planet and today is going to be the happiest day of my life. “Slow down, Ady. You’ll hurt yourself if you keep bouncing around too much.” My mother chuckled as I twirled around our kitchen. “I just can’t stay at a place mum. I feel so... alive. It’s like there are fireworks going off in my brain and my tummy.” I giggled and twirled again. I stopped and leaned in to whisper in my mother’s ears. “I’m getting mated, mum, can you believe it?” I spoke like it was a secret when the whole pack knew what was happening. Toda
ADAIRA~All the figurative butterflies in my tummy seemed to die at once. A cold feeling of dread settled in my tummy instead and I began to sweat for no apparent reason. My heart immediately tried to convince me that it couldn’t possibly be Tyler that said that. Maybe someone was just trying to play a prank on me, but then he spoke again and there was no doubt that it was him in there saying those words.“I’m serious, father, I’m done pretending I care about her. She’s not even my type.” Tyler said in a tone dripping with disdain.“I don’t care if she’s your type or not, Tyler, you will claim her as your mate tonight.” The Alpha growled at his son.I could hear the anger in his voice and it made me shiver. Or maybe the shiver was for a different reason, who knows. I don’t really know what or how I’m supposed to feel except that it seemed like my heart was being ripped from my chest.“She’s just an Omega, a weak Omega. I can never accept her as a mate. I only dated her because you ma
ADAIRA ~ I walked with a smile on my face between my parents as they led me back to the pack square. My parents stood on either side of me like they were afraid I would run at the slightest opportunity. I wanted to, but I stayed for their sake. Even if it felt like my heart was being torn to shreds, I wouldn’t be selfish, they’ve given up so much for me, this was the least I could do to give them a better life. I would smile and pretend to be happy, I would mate Tyler even if he loathed my existence. It was a full moon, that was the only time this kind of ceremony could be held. Fated mates could have their mating ceremonies at any time, but those like me and Tyler that weren’t fated but decided to choose each other had to mate on the night of a full moon. It was a symbolism of getting the moon Goddess’ blessing for the union. The light of the moon always gave me comfort, and tonight was no different. I prayed to the moon Goddess for the strength to go through with this and what I
SOMEWHERE IN THE CENTRE OF ALL THE PACKS, IN THE PHYSICAL BOUNDARY BETWEEN OUR REALM AND THE NETHER REALMI was buried deep in the earth and have been here for centuries, yet, the howl was strong enough to seep through multiple layers of earth and get to me. Another one of the invisible chains that held me here loosened as a flare of light wrapped around it. I was bound to the female that howl came from, I could feel the bond from the moment that she was born. During her birth, it was a full blood moon, the strongest of moons, I could feel its power despite being buried so deep. The second her infant cry rent the air, announcing her birth, one of the three chains holding me bound loosened.Today, under the light of the full moon I could feel, she released me from the second chain. I just had to wait a little while longer for her to complete the keys: Blood moon, full moon, new moon. When all the chains are gone, I will awake. And once I am free, I will destroy everyone that was involv
ADAIRA ~ I should have known that something was wrong the second I saw smoke as we approached my old pack. I pointed it out to Raed but he kissed my cheek and told me to calm down and stop letting my nerves stop us from doing this. “Relax, babe. Shifters have festivals all the time, maybe they’re roasting the kills of the last hunt.” He said to me. As we got closer, my second clue was the lack of patrol at the pack boundary. Even Raed’s brow creased with a tinge of worry but he still tried to reassure me. “Maybe they were invited to the feast as well? I don’t know what your pack security protocols are like.” He said. “There’s always supposed to be guards at the boundary, no matter what festival is going on. They usually do one hour rotations on special occasions so each of them gets to enjoy themself, and the border would still be guarded. Except Tyler changed things around here when he took over, it’s so unusual for them all to be gone at the same time.” I replied. That was whe
ADAIRA~When I woke up after who knows how long, I was lying on my stomach in human form, and I was clean. Someone had bathed me, washed my hair and put a gown on me. I felt so violated and I growled as I tried to stand. How dare they touch me without consent?My back bumped into the top of whatever I was in and it made me even more angry. I looked around and discovered that I was in a fucking cage, I couldn’t rise up more than this. I only had two options in the enclosed space, lie down the way I was before I woke up or maintain my current crouch on hands and knees. Lying down would leave me vulnerable to attack so I decided to remain on all fours, it wasn’t much of an advantage if I actually got attacked while I was in this enclosed space, but it was something at least.My anger at being touched without my permission multiplied at the thought that I was locked up like a damn dog. I’m a shifter with an animal side, but it doesn’t mean I should be degraded this way, wolves deserve be
