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
GAVRAEL~The battle against the Grenshaw pack lasted for less than an hour and I howled in victory. The rage I had been feeling and the bloodlust were not completely sated because most of them were still alive but it would do for now. I let Adaira feel what I was feeling while the battle raged on, even let her see flashes of the fight but I blocked her out before she could see that I didn’t destroy them all, I wanted it to be a surprise. I left instructions for my wolves to get the Grenshaw pack ready for me, Adaira preferred it here so I would bring her here when she was more agreeable. I teleported back to the Brookstone pack and took a cold shower. With my adrenaline up and the thrill of the battle, I wanted nothing more than to fuck Adaira till we both passed out. But I could feel her sorrow, and grief so I restrained myself. Instead, I got her something to eat and teleported to her cell.“Time for dinner, I brought you something to eat.” I said as I stood outside the cell and sh
GAVRAEL~Adaira stirred against me, and I immediately woke up just in case she needed something. I nearly laughed as she wondered if she was dead and why everywhere was so dark.“It’s so dark because your eyes are closed. Open your eyes, mate.” I said with a chuckle.She opened her eyes but she still wasn’t sure if she was alive.“I assure you, mate, you’re very much alive. I told you that not even death itself could steal you from me, you’re mine.” I said to her.She tried to speak but her throat was too dry, so I got water for her to drink. After a few seconds, she spoke.“Death wasn’t trying to steal me, I was calling it. You shouldn’t have saved me.”“I assumed you were just trying to be stubborn and not eat in order to force my hand and have your way, and what happened was just a mistake. I noticed some pieces of food missing from the trays I brought to you and thought you were secretly feeding yourself, hoping I wouldn’t notice.”“Any food missing was taken by the rodents I sha
ADAIRA~Being locked inside the room seemed to be worse than being in a cell. I was restless, and I kept pacing around the room. I wanted to go outside, check on the members of the Grenshaw pack, see who was still alive and who wasn’t, join them to mourn the dead members of the pack, then see if I can find a weakness in Gavrael’s tight security. Another thing that worried me is the mate bond I shared with Gavrael that was strong enough to let him hear my thoughts. If I ever want to keep anything secret from him, I need to learn how to make my mental block stronger. So I practised, it’s not like I had any other thing to do in the room anyway.When it was time for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Gavrael no longer brought me food, he sent one of the teenagers from the Grenshaw pack to do it instead. The first time she had come into the room, I rushed to her and wrapped my arms around her. I noticed she was shaking and assumed she was crying because she was happy to see me, but as I pulled
