ADAIRA~I raised my voice as they began to argue. My father was more at fault here than anyone else, but as usual, he shifted the blame to my mother. Some days, I wondered if they were fated mates or if they had just chosen each other. Fated mate bonds were stronger than chosen mate bonds, that’s why a lot of shifters preferred to wait for their fated mates, no matter how long it took. I had this doubt because I knew from experience how strong the fated mate bond is, there can only be this much animosity for a really strong reason like what Gavrael and I have. But the arguments I’ve seen my parents have over the years sometimes seem too extreme because it was mostly for petty reasons. The way my father glared at my mother and sneered at her with so much disdain because of me didn’t seem like the behaviour of a fated mate. Even though Gavrael and I were constantly at each other’s throats, our mate bond was still palpable when we were close to each other.I would have assumed that the
ADAIRA ~ “Quit the self righteous bullshit, Adaira.” Tyler said from his cell. “Do you really believe that you’re so important to him that your refusal to accept him is somehow holding him back? Open your eyes and stop being delusional. In case you haven’t noticed, he could have any one he wanted, the females in his pack would do anything to be in his bed. The females from my pack, and those from the pack you ran to may despise him, but his power draws them in like a moth to a flame. They may be afraid, but even through that fear, his aura is magnetic. Even the males feel it, even if not in a sexual way. Do you think a male like that who never lacks attention would care about one female’s rejection? You can’t even truly reject him anymore because he already marked you, so what makes you think you matter enough to influence him?” “Tyler, if you don’t shut that mouth of yours. I swear to the goddess that I will break those bones of yours even more.” I growled at him but he just chuck
GAVRAEL ~ I was seated by the desk in the corner of the room I had taken for myself, next to Adaira’s room, when I heard a knock on the door and immediately knew it was Midi. I could detect the presence of most shifters, not just by smell alone, but by their aura, smell could be unreliable. And it was yet another thing I could do that normal shifters couldn’t. I gave her permission to come in, and she walked in wearing a flimsy material that gave me an unhindered view of her body. Shifters weren’t really bothered by nudity, it was normal to see naked people walking around after changing from their wolf form, but Midi was here for a purpose. The female always came back no matter how many times I rejected her. It was obvious even to a blind person that I didn’t want her. If only my mate could be this desperate to be mine. I could hardly stand Midi’s presence, or any other female like her that always tried to get my attention, but I let them stay close just to piss my mate off. Seeing
ADAIRA~I was speechless as I watched him continue to pleasure himself despite my interruption. I should be disgusted by his shameless behaviour, instead, my mouth was completely dry because all the moisture in my system had migrated between my legs. He looked so decadent seated there, like a meal you know you shouldn’t have but can’t resist tasting. I totally forgot about my anger and my reason for seeking him out in the first place as I stared at him like I had never seen him before. His eyes were brown, and he looked so relaxed, but frustrated. I could see it in his facial expression, feel it through our bond, he wanted pleasure but his hand wasn’t giving it to him the way he wanted.“I know you can feel it, Ira.” He said to me in a deep, husky tone that promised to fulfil all of my dark desires if I gave into it.And he hadn’t called me Ira in a while. He was the only one who called me this, and I realised that I didn’t hate the name as much as I had claimed to when he first sa
ADAIRA ~ My legs were like jelly when he was done with me, so he carried me from the office to his room. I made a sound of protest as he passed my room because I wanted him to drop me there first, but he ignored me. When we got to his room, he carried me straight to the shower. My clothes were already in shreds so he just set me down and whatever pieces of it was left on me slid off on its own. He undressed with one hand while the other stayed around my waist to hold me up. Then he carried me into the shower and set me down again. I leaned on him and put my head on his chest so I could feel his heartbeat, and he wrapped his arms around me with his chin on my head as he slowly stroked my hair. The warm water from the shower felt good, but not as good as the warmth from his skin, and the comfort his touch gave to me. Even my wolf was uncharacteristically silent as she basked in the presence of her mate. Moments like these were surreal and perfect, where I could just be Adaira, the fe
GAVRAEL ~ “I… I don’t hate you, Gav. I could never hate you. I just need you to do better, to be better.” Hearing her say she didn’t hate me was a relief. I may be a cold hearted bastard, but I didn’t want my mate to hate me. I wanted her love, even if I was incapable of loving her the way she deserved. “I am who I am, darling. And the only thing I want to change right now is the fact that I’m not inside you yet.” I replied to her as I ripped off her flimsy underwear and thrust into her. She felt so damn good, my eyes nearly rolled to the back of my head. “Gav… p.please. Let them… let them go.” How the fuck can she even think of something else when I’m balls deep inside her and can barely remember my own name? “If you can still speak of them while I’m fucking you, then I’m not doing a very good job of it.” I said as I ripped the front of her dress and grabbed one of her tits. I loved feeling them bounce every time I pulled out and thrust back in. “Gav…” “Fine, you infuriatin
UNKNOWN ~ My plan was going perfectly well till my cursed brother regained use of his full powers. He wasn’t supposed to have access to those powers, he was still weak. I grabbed the bars of the cell in anger and screamed as the silver burned my hands. I hate this fucking body, it was weak like all shifters. How could I be hurt by something as ordinary as silver. I should be a god. I possessed this body years ago in order to keep an eye on that stupid white wolf, knowing she would end us as my brother’s mate again. I would never understand why he chose to associate with these lesser species, much less fall in love with one and end up imprisoned for centuries for her sake. I told him that nothing good would come of him being with her, but he didn’t listen to me, he never listens to me. I was filled with immense joy when she turned on him. It was her that caused them to be reduced to this state, reduced to mere mortals. Sure they were shifters now, but to me, it was basically the s
ADAIRA~I died.My soul left the mortal world, I could feel it. Yet, I heard a voice not just call me, but a force pull me back away from the proverbial bright light you’re supposed to see after you die. But it wasn’t a light I was walking towards, it was a presence, a person. And I was so curious to find out who it was because it seemed so familiar, I could swear I was basically looking at a reflection of my own presence. I could see flashes of a past life… a full moon, a volcano, a lost mate, an exchange of powers, a war, a broken bond, a dark spell, a different time. It was like these were memories from my own head yet I had no knowledge of them and if I just stepped into the light I would regain them all and so much more. I could feel the power coming from it, and it felt as intimate as my own skin. This vast power was mine, I could feel it. The closer I got, the more I regained understanding of the life I lost, of who I was.But I was being compelled not to move further. It was
