Blessed or Cursed Episode 35
I bit my lower lip and looked around at the boys. I’m not sure what to believe right now. A part of me feels betrayed, but another part of me wants to believe Creed. Ryker and Ezra have had doubts about him from the start. What if the mate bond is clouding my judgment?I turned back to Creed, “I need time to think. I’m not sure what to believe right now.”Creed swallowed hard, “OK, but I’m not going anywhere. I told you I’m keeping you, and I’m in too deep. I can’t walk away.” He shook his head, and I swear I could see a tear forming in his eyes.“I’ll give you some space, but please don’t shut me out. I’ll be here anytime you need me, and I’ll protect you until the day I die. You know where to find me when you’re ready.”I nodded, and a shiver went down my spine. Why does my body want to fall into his arms? I shook the thought away. It doesn’t matter how badly I want him. I won’t stand by and let them hurt innocent people. I looked over at Drake, and it was like he read my mind, “Ev

I looked around at the boys and then back at the screen.“Creed and Cyrus are both going to be killed either way. They will be killed for the king’s actions if the evidence points to them, or the king will kill them if they mess up his plan.”It was silent for a moment as everyone thought it over. Uncle Gavin finally piped up, “then we join the fight against him and take the king down before he has a chance to act.”I watched Uncle Gavin look around at everyone for confirmation.“You kids come home for winter break in two weeks. Cyrus hasn’t been caught doing anything yet, and he’s just starting to frame Creed. I don’t think anything will happen until you kids go back to school after your break.”My dad nodded, “He needs the school empty to set up whatever he’s doing. He knows Creed and Cyrus won’t go through with it. He’s going to send his men in when everyone’s gone.”I nodded, “it makes sense.”“See if Creed will come home with you for winter break. I want to meet him and see if w

***Warning Mature Content***My heart sunk as I realized why he was so overprotective of me. His brother is the only one he has ever had on his side. Now that Creed has found his mate, he’s holding on with everything he has.There’s a different look in his eyes tonight. It’s almost like his walls are crumbling down. I don’t know if it’s because he thought he was losing me or not, but I’m not complaining. I need him to let me in. I want to know everything that he has been through. “You’re not losing me, Creed. It’s just the opposite. I feel closer to you than anyone else. I don’t know if I can explain it. The mate bond is pulling me toward Dawson and Rowen, but it feels different.”I hesitated for a minute as Creed brushed my hair away from my face.“With Dawson, I’m attracted to him, and my body wants him, but when we’re together it feels more like a friendship bond.”Creed smirked a little and gave me a quick kiss.“And Rowen, well, I don’t even know what I feel for him. I’m attrac
Blessed or Cursed Chapter 38
I felt a little different as I started opening my eyes and stretching. We went so many rounds last night. My body is sore in the best ways possible. Creed must have woken up early. I noticed he was not lying next to me anymore. I smiled, last night was the best night ever. I could get used to his strong arms wrapped around me every night. I quickly got dressed. Where would he have gone without waking me up? I found my phone and started calling him. What the, oh my goddess, this can’t be happening. My heart dropped when I noticed his closest. No no no, I shook my head. He wouldn’t do that to me. His clothes are all gone. The only thing left in his closet was a shirt hanging with a folded piece of paper sticking out of the top of it.I started shaking and threw my phone on his bed. Why would he do that? He can’t just leave. I believed everything he said to me. I meant it when I told him I loved him. I thought he felt the same way.I grabbed the piece of paper from the shirt and tried

“I don’t know, Bell. I’ve got to admit, I was starting to root for Creed. I liked the guy, but maybe he tricked us all.” Ezra said as he looked around at all of us.“I can’t believe this. I fell for it. I fell for him.” I stood up and started pacing. “Slow down. We don’t know anything for sure yet.” Ryker put his hand on my back to try to calm me down.“It doesn’t matter. I’m still pissed either way. If he received my magic, he could be planning to use it against us. If he told the truth in his note, well then, he still left without telling me goodbye. Either way, I hate him right now, and I need to go for a run.”“I think that’s a great idea. I’ll come with you,” Ryker said as he looked at Ezra and Drake.“Us to,” Drake smacked Ezra on the back.“See, that is why love is a bad idea. There are too many problems. I think you should just stay away from all your mates.” Ryker smirked as we walked out the door. Ezra laughed and nodded his agreement.“I don’t know why you’re laughing. Fr

I looked at Reese and hesitated for a minute, “I can’t talk about it here. We can go somewhere private after class, and I’ll tell you.” Reese nodded, “You can trust me. I won’t do anything to hurt you. Besides, your boyfriend scars me a little.” I laughed a little too hard, “which one. I don’t even know what’s happening in my life right now.” Reese chuckled and we ended our conversation as the professor walked in. Time seemed to slow down as I thought about the predicament I was in. I knew last night was too good to be true. Does Creed really love me? Is he telling the truth, or I’m I just a fool. I sent him three messages this morning. He hasn’t answered any of them. I’ve got to get to the bottom of things. My thoughts went back to the meeting with my family. Find the connection, I repeated in my head. What could possibly connect a dragon, a bear, and a wolf, with me, a magical wolf? Also, why does the mate bond and connection feel so different with each one of them? As f

I hurried back to my room with barely enough time to get ready before Dawson was supposed to be there. I was surprised to see Jacie there when I walked in. She was flipping through dresses in her closet.“Hey stranger,” Jacie smiled at me. “Where have you been lately? I haven’t seen you.”“Sorry, the last couple of days have been crazy. I’m sure Ezra has filled you in.”Jacie put her hand on my shoulder, “yah, he did. Are you sure you’re OK?”I nodded and shrugged my shoulders. “I’m honestly not sure. I feel a little better than I did this morning, but I’m still not sure what to think about everything.”“I hear you. I didn’t see Creed as such a player, but at least you still have two other mates to choose from, his loss.” Jacie shrugged and turned back to her closet.”I smirked, “Where are you off to tonight?” “A party. It’s the last one before break. Everyone is going to be there. You should come with me.”“I don’t know. Dawson is coming over, and I need some time to talk to him.”“

“Are you sure you’re ready for this,” Dawson put his arm around my shoulders as we walked down to the party. “Yah, I’m dying to know what Reese discovers.”Dawson nodded and opened the door. The party is in full force. Rock music is blaring and it’s so packed in here we can barely move. I let Dawson take my hand and lead me to the drinks as I scanned the room for Reese. I know he’s here somewhere. We planned it so he would have about an hour with Rowen before I got there. With the lights dimmed and this big of a crowd, it’s hard to recognize anyone. Scents are blending, and I can’t tell whose scent is coming from whom. I smiled as I spotted Ezra and Jacie dancing. I’m not sure if I agree with his plan to reject his mate for her, but it is nice to see him so happy. Dawson handed me a beer and we made our way through the dance floor. Both of us continued to scan the crowd for Reese. We found a spot against the back wall where we could see the full dance floor in the living room, t

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
