Blessed or Cursed Chapter 27
My heart pounded as I watched the flickering of his eyes and waited for Rowen to make his choice.He started to take a step toward me. He needs to get control back somehow. I smirked as I extended my hand toward the bathroom and lifted a large stream of water out of the tub. He’s eyes are focused only on me. He can’t see what’s about to crash down over his head. I released the water and watched his eyes as it started pouring down over him. Nothing, he shook his head a couple of times, but his wolf is still in control. That’s the only warning he’s getting. He took one more step and started closing in on me. I threw a right hook at his face, but he caught my arm. He held on to me so tight it didn’t matter how much I twisted my arm I couldn’t break free. I spun, and I felt the break in my forearm as he still wouldn’t loosen his grip. I spun back and quickly landed a kick to his abdomen. It was strong enough to knock him back. The wet floor helped me, and he started sliding as he trie

Dawson must have noticed how annoyed I was. After we walked into my room, he wrapped his arm around me and turned me to face him.“Hey, are you sure your OK,” Dawson watched my expression as I hesitated.“Yah, I’m fine. Rowen lost control of his wolf when he first got here. I didn't expect it, and it shook me up a little, but I handled it.”I watched Dawson’s expression change as he noticed my arm. He put his hand under my elbow and lifted my arm up for a better view.“Is he responsible for this?”I nodded, “yes, his wolf was in control, and I was trying to throw him out. He wouldn’t let go of my arm when I started fighting him. This is the result. I’m not worried about it. By tomorrow it will be healed.”I watched Dawson’s expression as he examined my arm and looked back up at me. I can’t tell if he’s concerned or pissed.“Bella, I know I said I would rather share you than not have you at all, but I don’t like this. I don’t think you should be around him at all, at least not alone. H
Blessed or Cursed Chapter 29
The drive home was quiet. It took me a little while to process everything Dawson said. I’ve been so caught up in my own problems, I haven’t paid attention to the world around me.He said that Moonlight was a little different because people are forced to go to classes together and associate. I need to watch how they act toward each other outside of their classes.I turned my head to sneak a peek at Dawson as he parked his truck. He’s so sweet. Tonight was perfect. He’s someone I could get lost in conversation with. He’s smart, and I have a feeling that nothing gets past him. He knows exactly what goes on around him.I also need to give him credit. He didn’t try anything. I don’t know if it’s because of what happened with Rowen before we went out, or if he just wants to get to know each other better.Dawson turned his head and smiled, “Is everything OK?”“Yah, everything is perfect. Thank you for tonight. I had a really good time.”“You don’t sound too convincing.”I laughed, “no really

“Come with me. There’s something I want to show you.” Creed continued staring into my eyes as he tucked a piece of my hair behind my ears. He’s trying to distract me, and it’s working. I blinked my eyes and looked away to pull myself out of the trance I fall into every time I look into his eyes. I looked around at everyone, “what’s it going to be? Do you agree to leave him alone for a while?”I watched as the boys all looked at each other. “Whatever you’re planning you might as well say out loud.”Ryker smirked, “I get what you’re saying, Bella. I’ll make a deal with you. If you go with Creed and just let us have a chat with Rowen, I promise we won’t kill him. That’s the best I can do. I want to see for myself what kind of control issues he has.”I thought about it for a minute. I know the boys are trying to investigate all three of my mates undetected and this could help. Besides, I’ll be with the one that I’m most worried about. The boys won’t kill him. It’s not their style. Creed
Blessed or Cursed Chapter 31
***Warning Mature Content***Creed is smiling from ear to ear, and still breathing hard. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen him this happy. He ran his hand down my arm as he inspected it. “Perfect, just like you.” He bent down and captured my lips with his. He’s shaking just as much as I am.What in the world just happened? Creed continued to devour my mouth like he couldn’t get enough. He needs me just as much as I need him. “What just happened?” I asked Creed when he pulled back to take a breath.He ran his fingertips down the side of my face and smiled, “It worked, and well,” Creed nodded slightly.“He likes you.”I laughed, “who likes me, your dragon?”“Yah, and me. You’re not getting away from us.” He started kissing around my neck and back up until he landed on my lips. “So, I take it that’s a yes, and you felt everything the same as I did.” “Yes, babe, I felt it. It felt amazing. I don’t ever want to lose that feeling.” Creed picked me up and started carrying me.I smacked his
Blessed or Cursed Chapter 32
For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been playing everything over and over in my mind, but I can’t make any sense out of it.The fire that burns between me and Creed is unreal. I feel the deepest connection with him, and our bond is the strongest. Is it because I spend more time with him, or is there something more that I’m missing?He is the only one of my mates that has touched me. Maybe that’s why my connection to Dawson and Rowen isn’t as strong.It’s weird. I really enjoy the time that I spend with Dawson. He’s gorgeous, sweet, caring, smart, and down-to-earth. Any girl would love the opportunity to be with him. He makes me open my eyes to the world around us, and I’ll admit I never realized how bad the divide between supernatural races was.The bond pulls us both toward each other, but it’s like we have developed this deep friendship connection. He has never tried anything with me. He hugs me, and holds my hand, but nothing more. My body wants him, and I can tell by his facial ex

I knocked on Rowen’s door and Dawson let go of my hand. I froze for a minute when Rowen answered the door. He was shirtless, and only wearing a pair of loose-fitting gray sweatpants that were hanging dangerously low on his hips. My eyes roamed up and down his body on their own accord. Rowen smirked, “come on in.”“Really man,” Dawson gave him a disgusted look. “Hey, this is my date. You can leave if you don’t like my attire.”Dawson shook his head and followed me in. Rowen had a single room, and he put pillows up against the wall on his bed to give us the feeling of sitting on a couch. All three of us had a beer while we ate some snacks and made small talk. I did notice the tenseness that Dawson was talking about. When Rowen talked to Dawson, he seemed relaxed while they laughed and joked. When he looked at me, he tensed up. I put my arm around Dawson and rested my head on his shoulder to test his theory. Rowen bit his bottom lip and scanned my body with his eyes, and the tensene

I linked all three of the boys. “One of you go to the hall and take him to your room when he tries to leave.” They didn’t link me back, but I watched Ezra and Drake slip out the door.Creed continued to stare me down, “Bella please.”“No Creed, I’ve heard enough. You need to leave.”I can tell by the look in his eyes and his silence that he can’t defend himself in front of everyone else. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but I’m going to find out.It’s not like him to allow Rowen or anyone to talk to him like that. How did Rowen even find out who Creed is? Nothing is making sense.Creed needs to get out of here. Rowen isn’t stopping. He’s doing everything he can to make Creed lose control, and he’s holding on by a thread. I can see his eyes starting to flicker.“Leave Creed!” I yelled.He bit his lip and slightly nodded before he turned around and walked out. Slamming the door as he exited.I let out a deep breath and Ryker grabbed a hold of me. Pulling me into a mu

As the meeting came to an end, I felt a lot better about everything. I finally realized why I was marked by the Moon goddess. I feel foolish that I never realized why the rogue problem was so bad, and that the wars between species were leaving so many people helpless. This meeting has definitely been an eye-opener. I was chosen to bring the supernatural species together, and I refuse to fail.I don’t expect to ever have complete peace, but the pointless wars need to end. I sent text messages to Dawson and Rowen, and they’re both coming tomorrow night. The boys are busy trying to find information on Ezra’s mate, and I finally get some much-needed alone time with Creed.With everything going on, I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, but I also feel completely at peace. Like this is exactly where I’m supposed to be at this moment. Walking hand in hand through my pack with Creed. The moon is high, and the stars are shining bright. I still want to be mad at him, but I mi

“Does anyone have paper and a pen?” I asked. “I just had a thought, but I need to write down the connections to see if it makes any sense.”Mom went into the house and came back out with a notebook and pen. I used everyone’s initials to make the connections of which leaders are against me and which ones support me. Starting with my fated mates. C – dragon king – against me, D – Bear king against me, R – Alpha hole – against me. R – priestess supporter, V & D – Vampire king - ? Supporter, I – quiet alpha - ? Supporter. I took a minute to look around at everyone and noticed that most of my family just realized the same thing as me.“I was fated to a powerful heir from the species that are against other supernaturals. It was the Moon Goddess’s way of bringing us together. Maybe her way of making them see how much things need to change.”I noticed a lot of confused faces, “think about it. Dad, Alpha, Beta, when you met your mates and still to this day, you would do anything for them. You

“We’re going to have to finish this later. Dad’s calling for me. A lot has happened since you left, and I might have messed up during the meeting.” Creed rubbed his hands up and down my upper arms as I slightly pulled away from him. “Whatever happens, we will get through it together, I’m not going anywhere.”I nodded and laced my fingers with his as I led him around the house to the backyard. I couldn’t hide my smile as we entered my backyard. All the adults, the boys, and Zadie were sitting on the deck, and the younger kids were all playing in the yard. I’m excited and nervous about introducing Creed to my family. Luckily, the introductions went well, and my mom and my aunts gave me a smile and nod of approval as they looked Creed over. Yeah, I know he’s gorgeous and he’s all mine. My dad shook Creed’s hand, “Alpha Kain just got off the phone with your brother. He’s on his way over.”I took my seat on the deck railing, and Creed sat in the chair next to me.“Did everything go OK w

None of us said a word as we walked out to the car. My dad looks like he’s a mix of proud and concerned. Yeah, there’s a long lecture coming my way, but it was so worth it. I can’t read the look on Uncle Kain’s face, but Uncle Gavin looks proud. Even if he is trying to hide his smirk.As soon as our car doors shut, I had four sets of eyes on me.“What the hell were you thinking,” my dad yelled.“Are you completely crazy,” Ryker added.“That was awesome. Did you see the look on their faces?” Ezra smiled wide until my dad and Ryker stared him down. Drake just ran his hand through his hair and shook his head. “Don’t be mad at me, someone had to tell them how stupid they're acting. They act like it’s normal to hate each other, just because of the species you were born as. You have all these Alphas and kings in the same room acting tough, but nobody has the guts to call them out on their crap.”“There’s a reason for that, Bella. I don’t want you to think I’m mad about you standing up for

I didn’t mean to say that out loud. I looked at my dad, and he just ran his hand over his face.“Is this your girl gamma?” Rowen’s dad said.“Yes, she’s my oldest.”Rowen’s dad looked back at me, “I thought you were a wolf. What are you?”“My genetics are my business. The important thing is, I didn’t kill the vampires?”I noticed Cyrus had a smirk on his face, yep, he knows who I am.“Why didn’t you kill them? We don’t need to worry about blood suckers. If they attack you, take them out.”“No disrespect sir, but I don’t think you have a right to tell me how to act. If that’s the way you think, then you’re not any better than the fallen dragon king.”“You don’t know who you’re talking to, little girl.”My dad stood up to defend me, but I jumped up and grabbed his arm.“Let me handle this,” I linked him.He glared at Rowen’s dad for a minute but nodded to me and sat back down.“I know exactly who I’m talking to. If you think that I should have killed the vampires, then I should have kil

This week has been a rough one, but hopefully we can get some answers tonight. The boys have been helping our dads locate the Blood Moon Pack. We’re hoping to find Abby, so Ezra can explain the situation. If she is meant for him, she should understand and forgive him.I’m hoping we can get more information at the meeting. I’m nervous for Ezra, and to find out what’s going on with Creed. I need to know that he’s OK and not lying in a ditch somewhere.“Bella, let’s go. It’s a meeting not the prom,” my dad yelled up the stairs.I took one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs to meet the boys. The butterflies in my stomach are driving me crazy. Calm down Bella, you’re just there to listen. I keep telling myself. The drive to the convention center was quick. Dad gave me the run-down on how these meetings usually work on the drive. The Alpha’s all sit at their designated tables with their Beta and Gamma’s behind them, and the heirs sit in the last row along the wall. Whoever c

We all just stared at him. No one knew what to say. Finally, my aunt Violet piped up.“OK, what can you tell us about her?”My aunt’s trying to keep him calm, but I can see the wheels turning in all of our parents' eyes. There has to be a way to fix this.Ezra swallowed hard, “it’s kind of a blur. I was coming out of the dining hall, and I picked up her scent as soon as I walked out of the door. She was headed into the library. She was beautiful.”He took a minute and closed his eyes as he ran his hand through his hair. “I followed her into the library. She was curled up in one of the lounge chairs reading a book. She looked so peaceful.” Ezra shook his head to snap himself out of it.“Anyway, she’s a wolf from the blood moon pack. Her name is Abby Jennings.”My aunt Violet nodded and gave my uncle Gavin a look, pleading for him to fix this.My uncle Gavin nodded and put his hand on Ezra’s shoulder, “take your time, but I need you to tell us everything, son. You won’t be in trouble, b

“Ezra, where in the hell did you get those cookies?” I closed my eyes as I already knew the answer. It was right there in front of our faces this whole time.“She said she loves to bake, but only for the people that she loves. I thought she was just trying to show me how much she cared about me.” Ezra sat there staring at Tate completely stunned like the rest of us.“How long have you been eating them?”“A couple of weeks, maybe a month. I was starting to get sick of them, but I was trying to be nice. So, I gave the ones she sent home with me to Tate. I figured what she didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her.”“Let me get this straight, a witch has been baking you cookies for a month. She told you that they were only for you, and you ate them.” I glared at him from across the table.“Well, yeah, but she wasn’t just any witch, she was Jacie. I’ve been with her since I got to Moonlight. I trusted her, we all did.”“Aunt Violet, we need you.” I yelled to her, and she gave me a curious look.“Wha

After the long chat I had with my dad and a good night’s sleep, I feel a lot better. As I walked into my uncle’s house, Tate the tornado was running full speed ahead. Dropping cookie crumbs on the floor behind him.“Bella, Ezra said I could have his whole box of cookies.”I laughed, “I can see that. Did you get any of them in your mouth?”Ryker walked through the door behind me. “Hey buddy, are you causing trouble already today?”Tate shook his head no, “Ezra gave me his cookies.”Ryker looked at the vanilla frosted cookie, “You’re a lucky boy. Ezra doesn’t ever share his cookies. He even calls them Ezra only cookies.”I shook my head. You guys are weird. Ezra and my cousin Zadie finally came downstairs.“It’s about time, we should have been at the gym a half hour ago, slackers.”“Calm down, Drakes not even here yet.” Zadie yelled at him.“Bella, do you want to see my dress for this weekend?”I smiled, “Yes. Sweet 16 are you excited?”“I’m nervous,” she said as she pulled me upstairs
