The moment Stephania arrived at home she knew something was wrong. The smell of magic hung strong in the air, not the type of magic she did, it was way nastier, White magic.
It couldn't have been Khloe.
Khloe couldn't do a spell to save her life.
She moved toward the stairs freezing suddenly, glancing at her portrait, the one she was so very proud of. She squinted her eyes taking a few steps back walking toward the painting. She reached out to touch it but stopped midair, her eyes widening. She could sense the revealing spell that was done to it, he heart beating harshly inside her.
She could tell what that type of power was from anywhere.
The Magic of a protector.
She could feel her heart beginning to beat grow faster and faster-How? How could Abigail know where she was? Why was the mother witch in her house? Had she seen anything?
She glanced at the painting again, of course, she had.
A protector could
Kaya’s POVI was stuck, frozen in one position. My hands shaking, w-what just happened? My heart was beating fast and I could hear people groaning talking about the mini earthquake that just had happened.I felt my fingers quake as I pulled my bag walking out of the library like a robot failing to process what happened, along with all the other students who did not want to be in the building after the earthquake.We will talk about this later tonight.Did he just agree? He did, he really did. He agreed it all in that one second, everything that we ever did was real, and those eyes that swirled with different elements were real. I already knew all this but why did I still feel so shocked at his confirmation? Why was my body shaking and my heart beating like it was running a marathon, why was I losing my breath and feeling as if I was falling apart?I tried to take in short breaths to stop my panic. I wanted to talk to someone, n
Kaya’s POV His eyes dissolved into pitch black, the type of darkness, not even midnight could compete with and I froze to my spot, taking a step back- feeling like my soul had left my body. He reached out and took out the knife from inside him and I gasped as the men around took a step back out of shock. Then he began to grow, and change, and transform, towering over us in a matter of seconds and I could feel my heart refuse to beat as he turned into a beast, one I had never seen before, his hands into literal claws and his once soft groans turned into growls, his sharp teeth mirrored only one thing- Death. I watched the scene unfold before me like a robot stuck on reboot, like I was watching a mere black and white flashback in a movie, as blood was spilled everywhere, some splashing on my clothes and face. I could hear the men's yells for mercy, as tears freely rolled down my face, glancing down at the sight of cigarette goon's head rolling d
Kaya’s POV I stared at the boy on my bed for a moment. Legion was breathing heavily into my sheets, his head buried into my pillow almost unconscious if it wasn’t for his frequent hisses of pain, whilst at the moment, my aunt was officially freaking out. She bit her shaking fingernails gasping as she hugged herself tightly, turning to me quite uncertainly, "s-should we call the doctor? O-or police?" She asked, glancing from me to Ally who returned the gaze with clueless expressions. I was uncertain too, staring at the blood that stained my clothing, before glancing at Ally who was still looking wide-eyed at Legion. "I-I'm calling the doctor," my aunt finally settled the issue turning around taking out her phone. She was still visibly shaking and I couldn't blame her as she tried in vain to switch on her phone and steady her hands. Legion suddenly let out an inhuman growl which made Aunt Lily drop her phone taking a rushed step back, eyes on Le
KAYA'S POV He stopped at that moment looking up at me, his fingers brushed my hair out of the way, his body a hairs breath away from mine, his eyes glazed over darkly, "you are, you're mine". I couldn't hold in the supposed breath that escaped as I looked down at him unable to believe all this. “Do you know what the word means Kaya?” he asked softly his eyes focused on me, "not mate. Estheraï, estheraï" he repeated, whispering it against my ear as he held me close to him. The word he always called me. It was beautiful the way it rolled off his tongue, I had always wondered what it had meant. He took my silence for a no, "it cannot be defined, and it’s a word whose meaning can only be spoken in phrases and not in one sentence.” He breathed as I turned to face him, our faces inches apart, as he moved closer with each phrase, “Another half, a whole world, the essence of my existence, beautifully bewitching. Mine," he pulled me in
Azians POV I opened my eyes to the gentleness of the wind through the open window. I yawned realizing I must have fallen asleep, it was already dark which meant I had been asleep for roughly 3 to 4 hours. Khloe had drained the hell out of me it seemed. Every time she was around Alpha took it upon himself to shut down/ A knock sounded on my door and I muttered a come in, knowing full well it wasn't Edwin, he would have never knocked. Alessia stumbled in yawning too, her hair was all over the place as she gave me a sleepy eye, "Mom says it's time for supper," she said yawning one more time. I nodded, "alright, I'll be down.” She gave me one last sleepy look before walking out shutting the door behind her. It took me a few minutes before I was ready to go, walking down the stairs. I moved to the kitchen, after glancing at the dining room chairs and noting that everyone else was here instead. “Hey honey" Anna c
Kaya’s POV I froze in place when I saw Azian before me. I had been expecting him but not this early, I still had about 2 to 3 hours before midnight. For some reason, my hands were trembling and I suddenly felt the temperature drop, as I looked up at him nervously. This wasn't a dream anymore, we had established that previously and it made me a lot more self-conscious, my cheeks heated up remembering everything that we shared in this room, everything that we had done under the pretense of a dream. I was expecting his usual expression but I was met with a hard glare instead, causing me to wipe the nervous shallow grin on my face instead, noticing how lost he looked. He looked at the bed slowly, and for a moment I swear he was sniffing the place his expression hardening when his eyes landed on the bed, studying it for a second. Could he-Did he smell Legion? I mean we had already changed the sheets, but I was now pretty sure he wasn'
Azians POV The cold night wind blew airily past my skin as I stared blankly into the open space watching the top balcony window of the house before me. I was standing on the open streets trying to figure out what had just happened. Everything had moved way too fast. My head felt like it was spinning and yet frozen in place at the same time. How on earth had Kaya known about mates? Her face flashed into my mind when she had asked the question about Khloe being my mate. It had taken me off guard. Edwin was right when he said humans were not as clueless as we made them seem, definitely not Kaya. I could still feel the sting on my cheek from when she had slapped me not even two minutes ago, and I inwardly scoffed. Not even fire could hurt me but here I was in pain. I can't say I didn't deserve it but I couldn't tell her that she was merely a possession, a sort of toy my dragon seemed to obsess over, but even that seemed farfetched kn
Abigail sighed as she examined the counter, "and he... He just melted it?" She asked turning to the three before her. “Yes, he did and it was awesome!" Alessia began as she continued with her explanation, “then he started glowing, brighter than I've ever seen! I swear it was so hot I felt like the sun had decided to give birth to a mini sun right in the middle of the kitchen. His eyes popped out of his head like a hot air balloon, you know like one of those cartoons,” she explained, excitement dripping in every word, “yeah, like that, and he was frankly very scary, but I wasn't scared, nope. I just decided to stay put because personally, I didn't want to be melted to a pulp, then his veins oh his veins looked like golden snakes weaving and swerving underneath his pale sk-" "What Alessia means is that he changed,” Anna grunted eyeing her daughter, “he melted the counter in less than a second, and the temperature increased so fast we couldn't u
------TEASERMy eyes traveled around the dark shadows of the throne room, aware of how of the steady beat of my heart, thumping deep inside me. My hand gripping the helm of the fire sword tightly.She is here. Alpha Stated anxiously on edge, Omega spread his magic around us feeling every corner of the stone walls, and the large pillars that held up the throne room."Azian?" A familiar voice whispered, but loud enough to leave an echo, causing my eyes to strain through the darkness, my golden lenses scanning the room until it rested on the outline of a rough fallen figure covered by crossing shadows as it sat at the feet of the throne."Kaya!" I called out immediately wanting to reach her, "Don't!" She yelled back her hand stretching out into the straying moonlight, and I faltered back when I saw the dark veins whispering inside her like poison, as she immediately pulled her hand back, a slight whimper escaping her lips.Edwin's hand c
Edwin watched Azian pace up and down in the kitchen worriedly, his frame was rigid and his jaw was clenched, worry lines all over his face. He had tried to speak before but Alpha had made it clear they didn't want to talk. He was seemingly still mad at him for not telling him about Legion. "Will you stop worrying? Kaya will be alright. You know Abigail knows what she's doing right?" He asked him. He only received a growl from Alpha completely shutting him up, his fiery golden eyes daring him to say another word. Edwin looked down at the counter, holding his tongue as Azian went back to pacing but it was only a few minutes later when he spoke again, "Seriously, you're giving me a headache, stop with the pacing, try to relax. " he tried again this time instantly regretting it. "DO NOT ASK ME TO BE CALM!" Alpha barked, his eyes glowing brightly. "Okay, okay, okay," Edwin replied quickly. Alpha pausing for a second before Azians t
Lillian paced in Kaya's room watching as Anna fluffed Kaya's pillow, relaxing her in her bed, the light burn on her shoulder, glowing brightly before disappearing as the dragon snorted. The doorbell suddenly rang and Aunt Lily froze, "that's her, that's got to be her,” she said full-on panicking, "what should I tell her? She won't believe anything I say! I'm screwed!" She grunted biting her lip, "if I tell her about witches and Lycan and dragons she will know I've lost my mind! And she wouldn't be far from the truth because I feel like it-" "Relax," Anna said rubbing her shoulder, as the doorbell rang again, Liam stood up, “Let’s just tell her Kaya isn't feeling well that’s it, she doesn't need to worry herself too much, at least not now," he said walking toward Lillian, "Come on, Gabrielle’s waiting." He said before heading out the door in a calm cool and collected manner. Lillian watched him shocked for a moment before she turned back to Anna, "you
"It's official," Liam began as he walked into the house with Lillian and Ally by his side, meeting the blank stares of the witches before him. "She's gone, poof! No trace of the witch! Not even her daughter! It's like she never was, even the pictures of her are missing,” Lillian said, "Good Morning,” she added looking around at the group, her eyes falling, and voice tripping at their expression, "no sign of Kaya and Azian yet?" She asked. Ena shook her head, "two days and still nothing,” she paused glancing over at them, "and of course Stephania won't be found, I'm sure she was gone long before we thought of her. She might not even be in this realm anymore." "Realm?" Liam echoed. Abigail ignored the question standing up, "Two days and no sign of Azian or Kaya, I'm getting worried." "W-what if they never come back?" Ally said, finally voicing the one fear she was afraid of "Don't say that, they’ll come back,” Lillian snapped back gl
The air seemed dark and stale, every Lycan in the vicinity had made themselves as scarce as they could if not called upon by their King. It was a dark day and no one wanted to be in the presence of Zerth at the moment. King Damian looked down at his son, his jaw clenched at the state of him, watching as he laid there unconscious, no sign of recovery in the long run, as would have happened had it been a mere cut or a stab like before. This time his face stuck in a painful expression that even if he hadn’t as much as opened his eyes yet, King Damian could feel Xeric howl deep within Legion, the pain a tingling sensation in his ears, his fists hard and clenched tightly, unable to take his eyes off the state of his son. The Dark covers were laid above him, stopping just below his shoulders and the large curtains were drawn to shield him from the sun. No one was allowed to see the Feared Prince of Lycan in this state. King Damian feared even he was never meant to see his
KAYA'S POV I gasped out suddenly realizing I had barely been breathing through that whole ordeal, "w-what was that, Azian?" I asked slowly, my heart beating soundly. "It's our bond" he began softly, "or do you mean that it's a dragon?" He asked again a little confused obviously. I turned to him sharply, overwhelmed "what do you mean bond?!" I asked my voice rising by the minute. He raised an eyebrow as if accepting some sort of challenge, a slight smirk on the corner of his lips "Bond Kaya, You like me don't you?" He asked. I huffed out at the sudden question, before shaking my head, "Azian I don't understand any of this! None of it is making sense to me? Why did you bite me?" He rubbed my shoulder, leaning forward, his lips skimming my neck causing my heartbeat to rise, his h
Kaya’s POVI shot up gasping for air, my head a buzzing mess and my heart thumping fast like it had just run a marathon. I tried to adjust my breathing, blinking fast as the blurry world around me suddenly took up a better shape.Light Blue walls came to my vision, my headache clearing slowly. I blinked again as if in a haze, eyes trailing around the room. It was very large which made me think it was definitely not my room.My eyes came into contact with a shadow by the window, running out of breath for a second, the sun's rays blocking his face from view. My breathing was low as I stared at it before a figure crossed my mind and a name to match it."Azian?" I whispered, my eyes squinting to see the form.It moved only slightly, its vo
"MOTHER!" Khloe screeched super speeding up the stairs, "you won't believe- Mother?" She asked as she spotted her mother lying on the floor. Panic flooded through her as she raced toward her, black dust covering the floor her mother was lying on. "Mother?!" She repeated as she crouched beside her. She was completely motionless. ***********Stephania suddenly woke up to find herself in a chair, her eyes shooting open, her gaze landed on her daughter. "Thank heavens!" Khloe said putting down the Smokey piece of sage she had in her hand. "T-The Spell, it g-gone" Stephania said looking at Khloe "What happened to your mother?" Khloe asked as Stephania rose to her feet. "I was over the box the one with the soul spell and it suddenly began to leak, blood, " she began looking at herself in both wonder and shock before turning to her daughter, "Then it just exploded and I felt like, it had taken some power out of me, with one strong punch, I
Liam listened to it all like it had been a movie at the back of his mind, memories flashed back as everything was explained. He had been used, taken away from those he loved, without a second thought. But that wasn't the worst part, his daughter, his life, had been taken from him. Lilian had held his hand through it all and he was glad she did although it looked like she was this close to bursting. "He's a dragon? The boy who was dating Khloe.” He repeated trying to let it sink in. "Yes, "Abigail replied,” dragons are shifters, they have a humanoid version unless of course the cursed ones or rogues simply put" she explained noticing his confusion, “And he was only dating Khloe because he thought she was his mate. Much like you, he was also under a spell, only one much more powerful," Abigail explained to him as Lillian took a sip of her hot coffee. "And a mate is more like a soul mate?" "In the
