ADAIRA

~

She was still speaking in seer riddles, what did she mean by the cycle that determines if we live or perish?

“I still don’t understand, Theia. Can you please speak in plain terms?” I said to her.

“I thought we would have more time but it seems not. The cycle for the end of Selene's spell has begun. The next full moon will be a blood moon, and the demon king will rise. The spell holding back his memory of who he was will be broken and all his need for vengeance and hatred will return. He will have the ability to open the gate between realms, make the rip wider and bring over his armies from the nether realm. If your mate cannot fight his hold, then history will repeat itself, there will be a war like we’ve never seen before. He will destroy everything. If your bond is not strong enough to make him forgive and forget, then we’re all doomed.”

I had to sit down after hearing what she had to say. The next full moon would be a blood moon, a rare occurrence like the night I was born

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   WHAT'S THE PLAN

    GAVRAEL ~ I hated fate right now. Whatever was in charge of all this destiny shit could kiss my ass. I finally make a positive change in my life only to discover that it’s futile and I will be influenced to start war in less than a month’s time. Theia called it the cycle that would determine if they all lived or died. Everything was fucking bullshit. I began to wonder what was the point of even changing from being a tyrant leader like I used to be a while ago if I would end up reverting back to being bad. “The cycle for the end of Selene's spell has begun.

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   HARD TO DEAL WITH

    ADAIRA~“So what’s the plan, Alpha?” One of the warriors asked.Before Gavrael could reply and tell them of the barrier I could put up with my powers, I interrupted.“We’ll have to fight back. We’ll be split into teams to cover every border entrance to the pack. Last night, the creatures attacked the north west and east borders. We have no idea if they’ll stick to these two places again tonight or if they will attack the other borders. The Alpha will be at the forefront of wherever the battle will be since his fire can kill them so whichever team spots any of the creatures first will have to alert him and he will teleport over and deal with them. From what we observed last night, they came in batches and that will make splitting his time easier.”I could feel Gavrael’s displeasure as I explained the plan I had just come up with in a split second. He may not like it but it had to be done, we had to make other plans instead of relying on me making a barrier which we aren’t sure of and

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   THE BARRIER

    ADAIRA~Less than a minute later, I felt his arms around me.“I know you’re stressed about everything. It’s okay to be afraid, but it’s not okay to let it rule you and determine your actions. You can do this, I know you can.”“And what if I fail?” I asked with a shaky voice.“Stop thinking like this. You will succeed, there’s no other option, even if your plan seems like a good one. What happens if the creatures attack from everywhere at once? How will your plan to keep them off work?” He asked.“I… I don’t know. I was just thinking of something, anything to act as an alternative. I think you’re putting too much trust in me.”“How about this, we can use your plan. It may work as long as the creatures don’t appear all at once. If it doesn’t then you’ll have to put up the barrier, agreed?”“Yeah, okay. That’s fine.”I was still terrified of the thought of having to use powers I currently didn’t have access to but there was no other option. I just had to hope that the creatures stick to

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   DRAINED

    GAVRAEL~Waiting was the most excruciating part of the mission for everyone. I could feel the anxiety and apprehension from the shifters on our team at the eastern border. Adaira was trying to be strong as a leader but I could feel her tension through our mate bond. No one knew what to expect, how the creatures would attack or where they would choose to attack. My plan to Adaira earlier of going with what she had told the others till there was a need for her to put up the barrier had just been me trying to make her feel better. Deep down, I knew it wouldn’t work, I knew that the only hope of keeping the pack safe was with her powers, but she needed more time to get used to the idea. She had tried to get me to join another team, but I'd be damned if I let her be separated from me again during a battle, even for a few minutes.As the night progressed, we remained alert despite the relative silence. I was beginning to wonder whether the creatures would even attack again, when I received

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   MIDNIGHT MEAL

    ADAIRA~I ended up sleeping for almost a whole day, by the time I woke up, it was past almost midnight. Gavrael was in bed with me, and as I stirred, he woke up too.“You scared me for a second there, mate.” He spoke as he nuzzled my neck.“You fell asleep so suddenly that if it wasn’t for the steady beat of your heart, I would have thought you died.”“I’m a bit harder to kill than that.” I chuckled.My stomach chose that moment to rumble and it was Gavrael’s turn to chuckle.“It seems I need to feed you.”Then it was his stomach that rumbled next and I laughed. We got out of bed and moved through the silent house to the kitchen. We were the only ones awake by this time and I had to admit that I like it being just the two of us, no noise, no pack mates needing attention, no trouble to solve. Since shifters had a big appetite, there was always food available in the kitchen. We may be alone now, but someone else might have already woken up to eat and left or would wake up later to have

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   WILL IT WORK?

    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

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   SUDDEN HEAT

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   EPILOGUE

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   NEW LIFE

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   RETURN TO THE NETHER REALM

    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.

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   HE LEFT

    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

  • ALPHA GAVRAEL   PREPARATION; COUNTDOWN TO THE END

    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
