ADAIRA~I gasped as his eyes opened. For a split second, it was a mix of brown, red and gold, something that had never happened before. Then it became brown so fast that I wondered if I had just imagined it. But it didn’t matter at the moment, all that mattered right now was that he was alive and he was here with me.“Gav.” I called him as I wrapped my arms around him.He held me as well and moved me so instead of kneeling beside him on the bed, I was now straddling him with my knees on either side of him. One of his hands was on the back of my head while the other was around my waist, and my two hands were around his neck. For several seconds, we stayed like that, just enjoying each other’s presence and reeling fromthe effects of the last ten minutes.“I thought I lost you.” I whispered after a few minutes of silence.“I should be the one telling you that. You left me.”I heard the emotion in his voice as he said the last words. It hurt to no longer feel him as I used to, but I woul
ADAIRA~“You can’t be serious.” I said incredulously.I tried to move off him but he held me tighter, one hand with my hair now wrapped around it and the other still on my waist.“Do I in any way look like a jester to you?” He asked with a menacing growl as I was forced to look into his angry red eyes because of the tight grip he had on my hair.“Let go of me, you’re hurting me.” I said as I reached back to try to free myself from his grip.“How do you think I feel hearing my mate whom I nearly died trying to revive say she doesn’t want my mark? Do you think I feel happy?”I yelped as the hand he had on my waist grabbed my arms and held them both together in a firm grip behind my back. I struggled against him but he had me firmly pinned to him.“Let me go.” I said to him but it was like I never spoke.“How many times do I have to say it for you to understand that I will never let you go, in this life or the next. ” I replied to him.“What is your problem? I didn’t refuse your mark. I
GAVRAEL *** “I thought I lost you.” She said as I held her close. I was so relieved to feel her breath on my skin, her touch, the beat of her heart. But something was missing, I was just too distracted to immediately figure it out. “Gav, there are so many things we don’t know. Things we don’t understand. We need to find answers. My grandmother tried to warn me about this but I never really understood what she was trying to tell me till now. Did she ever tell you anything?” She asked me and I was confused. Why will her dead grandmother tell me anything? Had she seen the woman when her soul left her body and was now confusing the dead with the living? “Why will she tell me anything? I never met her. From what I know, she died long before I awakened.” I replied to her. “It’s a long story. My grandmother was alive until a while ago, you met her, talked to her. But after she died, she was somehow erased from everyone’s memory. What matters is that she was trying to tell me that we we
ADAIRA***“I am not a witch.” I said and he grabbed my throat.He was livid, his red irises burning with rage. Whenever he was like this, I could never get through to him.“Then what explanation do you have for what you just did?” He asked as he grabbed my hair.I tried to free myself but I couldn’t move, he was using his power on me. And I had no explanation for what just happened, I had no idea what I did or how I did it. Same way I had no idea what had tried to suck my soul from me and how he was even able to bring me back. There are so many strange things to consider, how did he expect me to have answers to this one.“I… d.don’t…”I could barely breathe so I don’t know how he expected me to reply to him. And without our bond, we couldn’t communicate through our minds.“Let’s go pay your parents a visit. If you don’t know, I’m sure they do. Or maybe you’ll tell me the truth when they’re close enough for me to snap their necks.” He said with a menacing growl and my eyes widened in
GAVRAEL***I could understand everything more clearly now. Adaira keeps denying that she’s a witch, but she has to be. There is no other explanation for her use of powers. I had mine because of my demon half, she must also be a hybrid. That was why she was fated to me, why her soul could match mine. Or maybe she wasn’t fated to me at all, maybe it was all a trick by one of her ancestors. If she won’t tell me the truth, I will get it out of her one way or the other. I had to know if what I felt for her was real, or if it was just an illusion planted in my mind by one of the sage wolves that cast my imprisonment spell. My rage was getting the better of me, but I needed it. She would only respond to force. Maybe I could trigger her powers again, force her to confess the truth to me. How could she so cruelly be a part of this? How did they even accomplish this? She hadn’t been born when they imprisoned me, how did they bind my soul to hers when she was centuries from being born? Shouldn’
ADAIRA***My mind was reeling. I couldn’t fathom all the information my brain was receiving at once. I couldn’t understand why I was in my father’s arms, but not for an embrace because his intent was to harm and maybe kill me.“F.father… what are y.you do.doing?” I asked as I tried to speak despite the claws deep in my neck.“I am not your father, you bitch. Your weak minded father has been gone for years. And you’re so weak that you didn’t even notice my presence. The only person who had a suspicion was your mother, and that was only because of the damn mate bond she had with your father. It took nearly all of my power to create a bond between us that would mimic it so she would be at ease. You ruined all my plans! You should have just mated that bastard Alpha like I told you to.”Thinking back, I guess it made a little sense why my father suddenly became hostile towards us. Most times he seemed calm, then other times, he would act like he was a different person, become so mean and
GAVRAEL *** There was no thought in my head, only rage. The idiot before me was obviously too proud to exercise caution, which was why he had the audacity to step away from Adaira, thinking he could take me. He insists that I’m weak, but he didn’t realise that the only thing keeping him alive was the fact that he had my mate in his arms. Without her, I will make mincemeat out of him. I didn’t even have to expend much energy to freeze him on the spot. I was in front of him in the next second and my hand went through his chest to grab his heart the same way he wanted to kill Adaira. “No one touches what is mine and lives to tell the tale.” I said in his face as he started to choke on his blood. “This body is just a shell, brother. Its death means nothing. We will meet again, and I will kill you.” He said and I growled as I ripped out his heart. “NOOOOO!” I heard a scream and then Adaira’s mother ran towards me. I thought she wanted to attack me but she just fell to the ground besid
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
