GAVRAEL~“Thank you for delivering yourself to me. From what I’ve been told, the mate to the white wolf is the Alpha. I can’t wait to have you strapped down next to her. I finally have something to take me to the highest levels of prestige in the scientific world. Imagine all I could do with your DNA, my name will be in the history books. I will be able to replicate whatever makes you all so special and make an army of your kind from humans, give people powers at will. I will become a goddess on earth, nations all over the world will seek my work, and no one will ever call me weak again.”I watched the female talk while she pointed her weapon at me, I could smell the wolfsbane on it, and the distinct metallic smell of silver. She had the confidence to talk about her great plan because of that weapon, not knowing that her end was near. Immediately I got Adaira’s location, everyone involved with her capture had their death certificate officially signed.She didn’t even get the chance t
ADAIRA ~ “I’ve realised the error of my ways to an extent. Can’t you see I’m trying?” He said to me like he expected me to leap for joy with a smile on my face because of his words. After all he had done to me, was this supposed to make me feel better? Was I supposed to just forgive him just like that? “Funny how it took me almost dying for you to see the error of your ways as you call it. And apparently, even that isn’t enough because you still haven’t completely realised your errors.” I said to him. I won’t be fooled by his sudden show of empathy. He was just trying to manipulate me, I’m sure of it. It may be my wounded pride and broken trust in him speaking right now, but even if it was, I won’t give in to him this time. Despite his words on seeing his errors, I’m sure he still held on to his pride, his belief that there was nothing wrong with his actions, nothing wrong between us even if our mate bond was obviously just a sham. And if that was the case then his words meant not
GAVRAEL~“You can tell me whatever only after I’ve had a proper meal. I won’t be able to stand the sound of your voice for much longer without something to ease my disgust.” She said to me.It wasn’t just the words she spoke that hurt, it was the fact that she had actually meant them. I was beginning to feel a sliver of fear that she truly was done with me, that I had pushed her so far that she had gone past her breaking point, thereby pushing our relationship past the point of no return. She no longer trusted me, that much was clear, and without trust, the foundation of our bond was already gone. Though I had no one but myself to blame for it, I was the one who abused her trust. Knowing I am at fault didn’t make hearing her spiteful words easier though, even if I knew that I deserved all of it and more.Unlike before when she always said she hated me, yet I always felt that she didn’t mean it. Now, she was trying her best to push me away, to truly remove me from her heart. It was w
ADAIRA~“Follow the moon to the North star. Find the one with broken eyes with rivers of gold. Find her, find the way. You must journey alone to the other side. He must not return before time or all hope is lost. Find the past before the next full blood moon.”I was dreaming, I knew I was. It felt real but somehow, I knew I was dreaming, though knowing that was not enough to wake me up. My grandmother was standing right in front of me, but she was different. She didn’t look old, she looked around my age, younger, stronger. I only knew it was her from her aura because I couldn’t really see her face. She wore a diaphanous robe that seemed so transparent like she was an apparition. This couldn’t be real despite how real it felt.She repeated the same words to me over and over… Find the past… Follow the moon… Journey alone… Her words came together till they seemed almost incomprehensible. My head ached from trying to make sense of it all.“What does it mean? Help me understand. Help me f
GAVRAEL~After eating, I could see that Adaira was tired. I convinced her to sleep for a while. She needed the rest to recuperate. I stayed in the room till she was sound asleep, and because I couldn’t resist being close to her, I slid into the bed next to her. Waiting till she fell asleep till I did this was a cowardly move, but I didn’t mind using it. If she had been awake, she may have sent me away, refused to let me sleep beside her. Or she may not have cared if I had done so. Somehow, I didn’t know which I hated most, her rejection, or her nonchalance. The fact that she didn’t stir as I wrapped my arm around her was proof of how exhausted she really was. I stayed awake for a while, just watching the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed, absorbing her warmth and sharing mine with her, listening to the soothing rhythm of her heart beating, basically just to remind myself that she was alive and she was here with me.Those days she was gone, I felt like I was running mad, not
ADAIRA ~ “It’s okay, we’ll figure it out together. First of all, you need a shower, you’re covered in sweat, and now, so am I.” He said to me as he pulled me closer. I should probably move away from his arms and not let him give me comfort, but I just couldn’t. He was warm, and he stroked my hair so calmly that the panic I felt just eased. Just a few more minutes, I could enjoy this for a few more minutes before reminding myself why I shouldn’t let myself get close to him again. “You’re right, I…” I was interrupted by a knock on the door and the person came in without being granted permission to enter. I could already guess who it was before I saw them. Only one person would have the audacity to take liberties like this. “Alpha, I…” Midi paused as she saw us on the bed. She looked surprised to see me there, and her surprise quickly turned to scorn. She was a blatant reminder of why Gavrael and I could never be proper mates. I can’t trust him anymore, and if not for anything else
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
