Gavrael is being sweet for once, but how long will it last? Keep reading! thanks.
ADAIRA~Numb. That was the only word that could describe my life and my state of mind at the moment. I just felt numb. Staring at my parent’s lifeless bodies should have made me react in some way, maybe cry or scream, but I just felt like my emotions had been detached from their original position and were now floating away. Gavrael picked me up and carried me, then I felt light headed for a split second before we appeared in his room. He seemed to understand that I had no words right now, so he didn’t speak, he just took me to the bathroom. We were both already naked so it was easier to just get us both into the shower and wash the dirt off us. Then he carried me to his bed. I lay beside him while he stroked my hair and nuzzled my neck.“I’ve had your parents moved away from the front of the cell house. Tomorrow, you can decide to bury or cremate them.” He said to me.He must have mind linked one of his pack mates to do the task. I appreciated it, even though I didn’t say anything to
ADAIRA**I had weird dreams. Dreams of wars and death that seemed more like memories I have lived through or will live through in the future. In every one of these dreams, I saw a different version of me, with white hair and white eyes. I saw my grandmother again, she was warning me to hurry, telling me that we were running out of time. I tried to ask her questions but I could not do so in my dream, it was like there was a barrier between us and she kept being pulled away from me and out of my reach.I woke up with a slight headache then discovered that it wasn’t because of my dreams. Since our mate bond has been restored, I could feel the emotions of Gavrael’s pack members. They all seemed to be excited and restless like they were preparing for something and the pull of feeling all of it at once was what was giving me a headache. I usually block out everyone but I hadn’t done so after the marking last night. I always closed off this part of me that was bonded to his pack because I r
ADAIRA~I didn’t even have the strength to leave the room. Tamika came in about an hour after Gavrael left to attend to me. She made me get up to bathe and though I wanted to remain in the room, I left it for mine. I didn’t want to be there when Gavrael returned. My grandfather came in much later to visit me after Tamika couldn’t get me to eat anything. She must have been the one to call him. Seeing him made the tears I had managed to keep at bay return.“Oh Ady.” He said as he joined me on the bed.I turned to face him as he wrapped his arms around me and began to cry. He was just a reminder that it was just the two of us left now.“It will be okay, child. I’m here now.” He said as he stroked my hair, even though I felt his own sorrow.“They’re gone.”“I’m here. I’m still here. We still have each other.” He said as he kissed my forehead.I didn’t reply to him, just held him closer and soaked up all the comfort he was offering, the comfort that my own mate couldn’t even stay behind t
ADAIRA ~ I tried to move away from his arms but his grip on my breast tightened and I gasped. This made him groan against the back of my neck. “I love the sounds you make when I touch you, mate.” “Are you delusional? I just said let me go. You’re hurting me.” I snapped at him but he just chuckled behind me. “Do you really want me to let you go? Or do you just want me to kiss it better?” He asked with an amused smile. “I don’t need your kisses, nor do I need your…” I was still talking when he flipped me to lie on my back. Because I had no plans to leave my room, I had worn just a shirt with lace panties underneath. The shirt was big so he just had to pull it down by the side and my breasts spilled over the top and in the next second, one of my nipples was in his mouth. A moan escaped me before I could stop it, and a low growl came from his chest as he heard it. I tried to push him away because his touch was distracting me but he pinned my two hands above my head with one of his o
ADAIRA~He didn’t reply to me, just vanished from my sight as he teleported from the room. That was worse than if he had actually argued with me, and he called me a witch again even after we'd settled that issue. He planned to satisfy himself with someone else. Even if I despised him, he was still mine. No one else should touch him but me. It was this thought that had me tumbling off the bed, following the tug of the mate bond and rushing to locate him.I found him outside among his rogues. They were throwing a small feast to celebrate their victory against the pack they had invaded earlier. Gavrael was now seated at the head table with his main warriors around him. I watched as he silently ordered Midi to her knees before him with a finger. She didn’t hesitate, and she made sure to turn to me as she obeyed him so I would see the smile of triumph on her face. Her smile didn’t last because he grabbed her hair and yanked her head closer to his spread knees.My growl was a threat as I t
GAVRAEL~“I will not give what will not be valued. Not my body, not my heart, not my will.”Hearing her say that multiplied my already potent rage. As usual, Adaira knew just how to push my buttons and make me too angry to reason rationally. Which was why instead of trying to resolve this argument, I made it even worse.“Fine! If you will not let me have you, then I will take from someone else that’s willing to give me everything I want without filling my ears with sentimental rubbish.” I said as I got down from the bed.’She was hurt that I would consider seeking pleasure from another but I was too angry to care about her feelings right now or care about what doing this would do to our already fragile relationship. My first thought was to drag the first female I see into any available room and fuck my anger out on her, but even the idea repulsed me. I wouldn’t be able to stand another female’s hands on me. I was not doing this for my own pleasure, no other female could give me pleas
GAVRAEL~Whoever had fed these hunters information to use against us would be very sorry when I get my hands on them. There was no other way for humans to have known of their existence and these other things that could be used against them, except the humans were informed by somebody on the inside. A shifter must have told them, but why? No matter what issues packs had among themselves, it was forbidden to involve humans for security purposes. Remaining anonymous prevented clashes between humans and supernatural beings, it was better to remain figments of their imaginations. Humans feared what they could not understand, and that fear may lead to irrational decisions like unnecessary wars.Three days. It has been three days since I felt Adaira’s pain through our bond and she seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. I was almost out of my mind with helpless rage and fear. Only the thought that she needed me to find her kept me going, kept me partially sane. She must have bee
ADAIRA ~ My eyes felt so heavy and all I wanted to do was keep sleeping, keep my eyes closed and rest. But my instincts were warning me that there was danger close by and for that reason I tried to force my eyes open. I felt so tired, no, not tired, drained. Like all the strength had been sapped out of me with a vacuum. It took several minutes to open my eyes, and as I did, I had to close them because even though it wasn’t very bright where I was, the small light still hurt my eyes. My mind was scrambled, groggy, disoriented, vacillating between a dream and reality. I tried to call on her strength but I could not feel my wolf like I should. That would have made me wary if I had the strength to feel such emotion at the moment. Right now, it was taking all of my energy just to keep breathing. I began to hear voices but I wasn’t sure if they were real or if this was just a figment of my imagination. “She’s waking up.” One voice said. “It’s not a she, it’s a bloody freak of nature. You
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
