CHAPTER 35AVA"She brought you both to her secret place?" Seth asked, his gaze shifting between us."Yeah," I replied simply, sensing that she wouldn’t want the location revealed to everyone. His expression faltered slightly."She never took me there," he admitted, disappointment creeping into his voice. "She valued her solitude when she went to that spot." His eyes drifted toward Derek, who was seated across the fire. I had chosen to sit next to Seth, eager to get to the heart of things.My earlier conversation with her had only fueled my curiosity. What was she planning? Why did she feel as though she had changed so much?"Maybe she was just caught up in the excitement of being back," I suggested, trying to console him. "She probably wasn’t thinking about it too much.”"Maybe she was just caught up in the excitement of being back," I suggested, trying to console him. "She probably wasn’t thinking about it too much.""Tell me more about your history with her. How did you two meet?"

DEREK Sleep refused to come to me. This place was undeniably stunning, almost mesmerizing, but something felt... off. A darkness lurked beneath all the beauty, like a carefully placed disguise. It unsettled me. Maybe it was the sheer distance from my pack that made me uneasy. I couldn’t sense them, couldn’t reach into their thoughts if I wanted to. The only familiar presence I could pick up was Adrian, but I chose to tune him out. As for Blake, he was completely silent—probably fast asleep.Shifting upright, I leaned against the headboard, my gaze falling on Ava as she stirred slightly but remained asleep. A small smile tugged at my lips as I watched her, peaceful and serene. Then, my attention drifted to the window, where the low-hanging moon cast a silvery glow across the room.Beyond it, the silhouette of the towering trees stretched across the mountains in the distance. The sight was tranquil—but not for me. I had only been here for a few hours, and though Nimue and Ava had made

AVAThe air in the living room felt heavy with unease as we all sat in silence, our expressions etched with concern. Derek remained close by my side, his presence grounding yet laced with tension. I must have looked like I had narrowly escaped death itself, my mind swirling with fragments of last night’s strange encounter. Thoughts ran wild—why hadn’t Nimue warned me? Did she not know? Or was this something even beyond her understanding?“Nimue believes what happened last night was orchestrated by the warlock princesses,” I conveyed to Derek through our mental link. “They could sense I was getting closer. They were calling out to me, summoning me to them.”Derek’s jaw tightened, his expression darkening with worry. “We have to keep searching for answers,” he replied, his voice carrying the weight of his concern. “They’re getting closer, Ava. Last night was proof of that. Who knows what else they might attempt?”Seth, who had been observing quietly, finally spoke, his gaze steady yet s

The cavern was unlike anything I had ever seen. The moment I stepped closer, the air thickened, humming with an ancient, unseen force. A luminous glow bathed the walls, casting shifting patterns as if the light itself was alive, writhing in unseen currents. The pool before me shimmered with an unearthly blue, its surface rippling like liquid sapphire under the cave’s soft bioluminescence.I inhaled deeply, catching the scent of mineral-rich water mixed with something sweeter, more intoxicating—like blooming nightshade or the crisp air before a thunderstorm. The cavern smelled of age and mystery, of secrets buried deep in time. I took another step, my boots crunching against a bed of smooth, water-worn pebbles. The sound echoed, swallowed by the vastness of the chamber.A soft, melodic sound filled the air, and it took me a moment to realize it came from the pool itself. The water wasn’t just moving—it was singing, a chorus of whispered notes that ebbed and flowed in harmony with the c

DEREK "Where’s Ava?" Kara's voice broke through the quiet hum of the kitchen as she stepped inside. I had been buried in books and journals all day, my eyes straining from reading. Most of the writings seemed like scattered thoughts, the ramblings of a person spiraling into madness. Some passages hinted at secrets long buried, while others veered into cryptic riddles. I rubbed my temples, glancing up. "No idea. Haven’t seen her since she disappeared with Shira this morning.”My gaze flickered to the clock on the wall—it was already nearing five. Time had slipped away unnoticed. Kars had started rummaging through the cupboards, pulling out various ingredients."What are you doing?" I asked, watching as she emerged from the fridge, her arms full.She gave me a look, as if the answer was obvious. "Making us all something to eat."I arched my brow. "Why not just head to the main hall? Someone mentioned chili was on the menu tonight.”Kara wrinkled her nose, her distaste clear. "Not a fan

AVA The night air was thick with magic, electric and alive, wrapping itself around me as I stood at the center of the room. My body hummed with an unfamiliar energy, a raw power that threatened to spill over. Ever since I had taken Shira’s blood—imbued with Nimue’s magic—something inside me had shifted. It wasn’t just strength or awareness; it was an entirely new existence.I moved to the window, staring at the darkened forest beyond. The shadows stretched unnaturally, bending toward me as if drawn by an unseen force. I raised a hand instinctively, and to my shock, the shadows followed. They rippled like ink across the grass, responding to my every motion. I clenched my fingers, and the darkness thickened, swirling into a tangible mist before dissolving as quickly as it had formed.I gasped. That wasn’t normal. That wasn’t just wolf magic.My heart started pounding, I turned to the mirror across the corridor . My reflection gazed back at me , but something was different. The golden

The moon cast its silvery glow over the tranquil landscape as I stood before Shirer, her eyes piercing through the darkness. "Are you truly prepared to take this risk?" she asked, her voice low and mysterious, echoing through the stillness.I had burst into her house, the wooden door creaking shut behind me, and Shirer hadn't flinched. Instead, she listened intently, her expression unreadable, as I paced back and forth, my footsteps echoing off the stone walls. The air was thick with tension, and Shirer's question hung in the balance, waiting to be answered.Was I willing to risk everything by revealing the truth to Derek? The weight of my decision settled heavy on my shoulders. That's what I had been ranting about – how Nimue's mistakes had put everyone in danger, leaving a trail of secrets and lies in their wake. The trees outside seemed to lean in, their branches tangling together like skeletal fingers, as if listening to my inner turmoil.Derek's words echoed in my mind, his voice

DEREK As I gazed into Shira's eyes, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. Her lips, though soft and inviting, didn't stir the same passion as Ava's. The hands on my shoulders, though gentle, didn't hold the same warmth as Ava's touch. I was about to pull away, to put an end to this charade, when it hit me like a ton of bricks. I had no qualms about jumping into the deadly pool, but the thought of continuing this farce with Shira made my skin crawl.But I knew I had to see this through. I had to trust the pool's magic, even if it meant enduring this uncomfortable encounter. As Shira's lips moved against mine, I felt a sudden surge of visions and images, like a movie playing out in my mind. I saw Ava, her eyes sparkling with determination, her spirit unbroken. I saw the events of the day unfolding, like puzzle pieces clicking into place.When the visions finally subsided, I ripped my lips away from Shira's, gasping for air. I stared into the pool's crystal clear wate

VEEI couldn't believe it when Vance turned up with Daisy. The sight of her both shocked me because of the state she was in and thrilled me. Daisy was my cousin , my mum's sister's daughter. When she had laid eyes on me she had jumped out of the big man's arms , ran at me and, with the force she wrapped her arms around my body, it knocked me and her both to the floor. I looked up at Vance confused. Why was she here ? Why had they brought her ? But one look at the big man's expression, I kind of got the drift. He looked at her with such a loss , at only the fact she had come out of his arms into mine. I guessed they were mates.She was dirty and skinny , her hair mattered and mucky. And just looking at her arms I could see bruises. Moments later, my own mate and the rest appeared. I felt something settle inside of me at the fact he was now back. I had been a nervous mess. " Daisy what happened ? " I asked her. She was sobbing in my arms , heart-wrenching heaves racked her body. Vance w

This time we were not going in blind , they wanted to be fully prepared for what we were up against. I also put forward the idea I had . To go use my magic elsewhere to throw them off the scent that I was still here. But Adrian was the one that threw out a shocking suggestion. " Why not just take your black magic out of you , like Nimue had done ? Is this just not the same story as what we have just had , someone after your magic ? " he said. I shook my head no. " I can not get rid of it , even if I tried they would still want me back " I told him." But when you overloaded Sabrina to make her pop,. It was you getting rid of it. Just do that. " he said, not really understanding. " Sabrina took my magic, yes , but the darkness no. Dark magic isn't dark because of the magic, it's the person. I was born into darkness , from darkness. They could still use me. Dark witches usually don't have much magic at all really. They use the earth , dark energy, all of that stuff to pull magic from it

Of course, that had crossed my mind , but Seth would understand. He knew our parents. He knew the poison they spread wherever they went. " They will hate me for bringing this here " I told him, looking down. " They already know , Ava and Derek. While you were pretending to sleep, I was mind linking to Derek. He says we will gather to discuss how to end them after the funerals. Ava is also pissed at you. She told you we would help , you used your magic for us. We will not abandon you now. Derek had to stop her coming out here to tell you off ". I looked up at him and some of his anger had lessened , but not all of it.He stepped back and let me go. " So , choose Vee. Go without rejecting me. I will follow, we all will . Or reject me and go. The last choice is you stay here and we will do this together with our family. " My breath hitched at the hurt that crossed his face. One of those options I would never do, the other one they would come regardless. So , my only option was to stay. I

VEEAdrian took me back to his home after Riala actually flew her mate off into the distance. I found it fun to watch. It took my mind away for a little bit. Seeing Rhiala carry her away , I had wished Adrian had been a dragon and he could just carry me away too. Weird how I had never actually seen Adrian's home. I had always just assumed he lived in the pack house and then he was staying at the former alpha and Luna's retirement home on the edge of the pack. I was surprised at how modest it was. He lived in one of the smaller log cabins. When we arrived, he had looked at it and shrugged " They offered me a bigger place , but there was only me so I saw no reason", he had explained." It's nice, " I told him. He grabbed my hand and walked us inside. It was cozy , all though very minimalist , it had a lot of Adrian's personality in it. It actually made me laugh , there was some art on the walls and there were paintings of naked bodies in sexual positions. No faces, just the bodies of pe

" She looked at me dead in the eyes , and I knew she was right. But the thought of ever coming face to face with them again terrified me. " Go find your mate " she smiled , before she turned back on herself and headed back.I walked aimlessly for a while. Thinking , my mind runs like crazy. Mum has most likely already seen me here , now that Sabrina wasn't in my body anymore. Mum seeing the future was not always correct. Choices change and she only sees hints of the future, small little snippets. Mum and dad met out of sheer evilness. Not love or fated mates. And that was one of the things they wanted to stop, that they were completely against. Fated mates , they saw it as having too much power. The whole concept of mates. They wanted to eradicate it. They also believed that good witches were a hindrance , wolves were mutants , along with other animal shifters. My mother and father wanted to eradicate half of the paranormal species. It was funny. The only ones that made their list t

They were appalled by what they learned we had been through. And again apologized for their part , but they were not at fault." So you have no home for us to send your pride and your deceased home to ? "I asked them and they both shook their heads. " No, we have a camp set up. Where all of the possessions we brought with us are. But no actual home to go to ", Usif confirmed. Shit , I looked at Derek and he had sat back , his fingers rubbing his chin which said he was in deep thought. He jumped up and excused himself for a moment and came back with a big map of our land and the surroundings. " Where did she have you waiting , and where is your camp ? "he asked Usif, who looked confused about why he was asking. But I knew him , I knew where his mind was at now. And I sat back and smiled at my dear friend and actually behind that rough exterior was a damn good man.VEE" How are they doing ? " I asked as I entered the room the female warlocks had been in. Now there was the former alpha

CHAPTER 88He linked our fingers above my head and we stayed that way for the longest time. Before he finally let one hand go to slowly glide it down my body. Until he grabbed my thigh and hunched my leg up so he could press deeper into me." Damn" he said, pulling back . He smiled and looked down at my body. " Too many clothes ", he laughed. "Well, take them off, " I whispered . " Can't you just do your magic or something ? " he groaned so impatiently. " I could , but where is the fun in that? " I smiled, tormenting him. He leant forward and nipped at my lips with his teeth , before he sat up on his knees. He pulled his top over his head and I pretty much drooled at his torso. He jumped back off of the bed with no effort , landing off of his feet so he could unzip and pull down his trousers. His boxers went with them revealing him in all of his naked glory. And he was definitely blessed. I squeezed my legs tight , as a throb started between my thighs. " I scent you baby "he said in a

I was snapped out of my daydream by loud sounds of fighting. The fight from the opening had somehow made its way down here. Wolves and panthers ran everywhere between the houses. " What are they doing down here ? " I snapped at no one in particular. I watched in horror and absolute misery as some of my men , my brothers who I had trained with my whole life, fell. And I was hopeless. " Something must have happened. Derek wouldn't have let them down here ", the former Luna said behind me. I caught sight of a wolf I knew well. " Damian," I shouted. The wolf had just put down a panther. He looked my way and I motioned him to me. He shifted as he got to the border of the protection spell. " Adrian, what are you doing in there ? "he asked , out of breath.I shook my head. "Don't ask , I am not pleased by it. What has happened? Why are you all down here ? " he looked back up towards the opening. " The dragons took their fight to the floor , and that bitch got hold of the luna. The alpha orde

ADRIAN'S POV " Adrian, she will have had her reasons. " The former Luna said. I was fuming , marching up and down on the edge of the boundary. " She shouldn't have done that , anything could be happening now. All the people we love could be dead or dying and we are stuck here , helpless" I snapped, looking out at the path up to the battle. I heard someone gasp behind me. I turned to look and saw Kara standing there with tears in her eyes and her hand on her mouth. Shit , " Kara , I'm sorry " I said ." Go inside kay" her mum said. She wiped her eyes and walked off back inside. Meanwhile, the former Luna was giving me the stink eye. " Calm down Adrian , before I smack you up the side of the head. The truth of the matter is , you were a liability up there. She got in your head and she threatened to kill you. Your mate did what was right and still went back to help protect your family. Vee is new here , she could have left them to it and hid out here with you. But she didn't. I don't kn
