Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 59
Of course he knew. He knew everything. He was so damn nosey. Just when I thought I’d have a glimmer of positivity there he was to suck it away. Freaking vampires. But how the hell did he actually know? Did he have a tracker on me or something? Had he planted a listening device? I wouldn’t put anything past him.“What exactly does he know?” I asked narrowing my eyes at Acelin.“He knows you sought the assistance of the witch Iyana and he knows you have unbound your powers. I believe there is a mole somewhere.”“Fuck, yeah there is. But I can tell you it’s not with me or my wolves.” Adrian retorted angrily.I didn’t think so anyways. I trusted them. Damn. I had plans of revealing my powers my own way and now Claudis already knew. He was such a dick and I wondered how Acelin was so different than him.He had a solemn look on his face that had me curious. I felt a negative energy. It was as if he had more to say. Was he just still upset because of me and Adrian? Earlier I had

“Can both of you please stop talking!?” The words resounded in my head. Even though I said please, I was aware it came out as more of a command in my flustered state. I wasn’t asking. I was demanding. They had pissed me off and I felt a surge of energy right before. I said the words with conviction truly wanting them to stop talking, not even thinking. Ciel told me I needed to control my emotions, but I had let them get the best of me and used my powers when I was angry. And now I was freaking out. What had I done? Their eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and worry and it bothered me so badly I had done this to them. The problem was, I didn’t know how to turn it off. What do I do?“Talk.”Nothing.“Speak!” Still nothing. Oh, my God. I’m a witch that can’t control her powers. Another wave of emotions came over me as I felt tears welling up in my eyes. They wouldn’t stay like this forever, right? Before with Ciel when I had asked for the drink, she snapped out of it

My arms were crossed the entire car ride in the SUV that was transporting us back to the Ventrel coven as I sat beside Acelin. I stared forward, but I saw the glances he kept giving me every so often. He didn’t speak, though, and I was sure he knew I was in a mood and not to test me at that time.‘I am here to collect you,’ he said. That really pissed me off. Collect me like I was some item. More like an escaped prisoner. I had so many more things to do, so many more important things than to deal with whatever Claudis had in mind with me. I knew eventually I had to go back, but it was supposed to be on my own time. I was pouting hard.Surprisingly, Adrian didn’t fight it much even though our quickie session had been ruined, but with Acelin there, we weren’t really able to pick up where we left off. He thought it would be a better idea to go peacefully rather than cause a scene, and I partially agreed realizing he sent Acelin to get me and the next time it would probably be someone not

“Use your vampire speed and get us away from her,” I whispered in Acelin’s ear.“You are aware that I can hear you, right?” Onyx cut it.Shit. Did I need to learn Morse code or something to have a private conversation around here?“Yeah, I did know that.” I lied.“What is that stench? She reeks of alcohol, Acelin. What have you been up to?”“She is drunk. She drank on the ride here. Onyx, now is not the time. I need to get her sober before she meets Father.”“Drunk? It smells like she bathed in it.”“Yeah, well maybe if your father wasn’t such an ass, I wouldn’t have to drink to be able to deal with him,” the words slipped out before I could stop them. Drunk me held nothing back. I watched as her eyes flashed and squeezed Acelin tighter. He would protect me, right? Claudis was his dad too and I just insulted him. Had I offended him?I looked up but he didn’t seemed to be fazed only concentrating and in deep thought. “Sorry,” I whispered to his chest as I pulled him closer.“Onyx…” he w

My reflexes kicked in and I ducked quickly as an orange went flying over my head. “Ha!” I scoffed triumphantly. She missed.“If I truly intended to hit you, little witch, I would have. The next item thrown at your head will not be so soft. It will have a sharp edge made for skin piercing.” She snarled back. Oh, she was fuming.As expected, after completing her task she went on a rampage. She got my food as I had commanded… then threw the tray at my feet. I guess she had found a loophole. If her anger had not been directed at me, it would have almost been funny. I stood watching her in her flustered state now feeling a bit more confident that at least I could possibly protect myself if she really intended to do me harm. I think I was finally figuring out how to tap into my power at will. But was there a limit on what I could do or how often I could use it?I looked down at the food that lay on the ground at my feet. The rich had it made. People are literally starving and y

“Well, well, well, he finally returns,” I crossed my arms staring at a shameful Acelin who looked at me guiltily. I knew he knew exactly what my issue was.“I ran in to Onyx on the way. She told me she --““Yes.”“And you --"“Uh-huh, I did. What the hell were you thinking leaving me with her anyways?” He sighs heavily no doubt rethinking that decision.“I am sorry, little one. I did not think. I only knew she would not hurt you. I am on edge a bit. I trust very few right now.” I could see the concern on his face. Such a softie. Damn him. How was he a vampire but so innocent sometimes? He made it hard to be made at him. I sighed in defeat.“It’s fine. I didn’t mean to snap. She’s just freaking crazy. But honestly, I think everything’s cool now. After our little dispute, we were able to come to an agreement.” I smirked.He nodded but didn’t respond or ask about the details. We stared at each other for a few seconds. Was he not going to tell me how the meeting went? H

“Her name was Iliana, and she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen,” He began, and I almost swooned from the potential excitement. I could already tell this was going to be juicy. Yeah, I was a real sucker for a good love story. All that was missing was the popcorn and snacks. Never would I have thought that Claudis the dick would be such a romantic. Maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. “I met her years before Onyx was born at a time in my life where I was not looking for much. Back then, women were a means to an end. Before her, there had been many, but I never loved or even cared for them. Still, I had a very particular taste, only bedding the ones with highest potential in order to produce a suitable heir, and they of course were more than happy to provide.”Never mind. I take it back. Not romantic at all. Very much still a dick.He must have read the disgusted look on my face because he grinned and backtracked quickly. “I can only imagine what you are thinking,

As I rushed back to my room, I couldn’t get the encounter I just had out of my mind. Holy shit! I was sweating bullets. Okay. So I was definitely still intimated by him. But I couldn’t help but snicker thinking about how I had commanded someone so powerful. First Onyx, now him. My head was spinning from the possibilities. Honestly, he didn’t take it as bad as I thought. But he had to know I didn’t do it intentionally. I went over the conversation in my head so many times and I remembered the moment things got a little weird when he started talking about Onyx’s mother, Iliana. It was odd though. I didn’t actually tell him to do anything I just kind of threw the suggestion out there. I was being kind of pushy though, but still I didn’t think I was using my powers. I wasn’t trying to anyways. With Onyx, I could feel it, like an invisible tether coming off my fingertips. I needed to start keeping a journal or something to detail each time this happened, but I was starting to think I had

Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 89
Sleep didn’t come for me that night. A terrible storm brewed outside the window, matching my somber mood perfectly. Usually, a rainstorm would have had me knocked out, but right then, it only added to my discomfort. Rain poured down, lightening flashed, and thunder clapped loudly. The wind whistled harshly, scraping bare branches against the window. I recalled the story my mom used to tell me and my sister when we were little girls. When it thundered God was moving furniture around. When lightning flashed, he was turning on the lights. And when it rained, he was crying. We were taught to believe in a different God than the ones I more recently learned about, but is that what was happening? Were the gods crying?I laid on my back staring up into the dark as if would reveal the answers of the universe. The things that just happened haunted me. I wondered if they could have been handled differently or if somewhere we took a wrong turn. Would it always be like this?So typical of me to
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 88
Zariah was still in front of me with her hands held to my temples, but I no longer felt tired or weak. Actually, the complete opposite.The events of the last few months flashed in my mind like a rewinding function. I had been pushed to leave the place I’d known as home, finding myself in a new city so far away. At the time, I was down and out, depressed, feeling super low. My heart was completely broken. I was completely broken. But then Adrian and Acelin came into my life when I needed someone the most. That was no coincidence. And despite the fact of who they were, they showed me things I’d only dreamed of before. Almost as if something too good to be true, but it was just that. They gave me their hearts so willingly and they too had mine. Because of our bond and love I was stronger than ever. I found out who I was, became confident and more comfortable in my own skin. Met friends and family I never knew existed. Yes, it was kind of crazy, but my life had changed drastically for
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 87
The darkness bled into the light as my eyes scanned the empty, bright space that changed before my eyes. Call me Dorothy, because I definitely wasn’t in Kansas anymore.Was I dead? “No offense, but this is not what I was expecting heaven to look like,” I mumbled to myself because surely it wasn’t hell. There was no way, right?“You get your sense of humor from your father,” Someone laughed and I spun around. Not one, but three people stood before me, a man and two women. My feet moved on their own as I took a step towards them almost subconsciously. The man was young and handsome. The women were beautiful, one a bit older, but both with brown skin, long, thick hair, and gorgeous eyes. But I wasn’t surprised at their beauty. I’d seen them before… at least in pictures.“Antoinette and Angelique.” I whispered more to myself looking at them both respectively. The younger woman smiled widely, embracing me with her grace. My mother. Wow. She was so pretty. She opened her arms
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 86
A menacing and triumphant smile spread across her lips. I wanted nothing more than to smack it right off her bitch ass face. But I didn’t care about my pride, the fact she thought she’d won, or anything else at that moment other than saving Adrian. “You are bound to the wolf and the vampire separately. You have two mates, it’s true, but now what is required is for the bond to be completed between you three. They must be tied to each other just as they are tied to you.”Wait, what? My head was too all over the place for this. Adrian and Acelin had to bond too? Why and how would that even happen? I was pretty sure they wouldn’t be down for that thinking about the way I’d bonded with them.My eyes went to Acelin in confusion wondering if he had any idea what she was saying. His brows furrowed and the crease between them deepened, which made me think he might.“Okay. I have heard enough. This witch is dead if she believes that” -- Acelin cut Onyx off pulling her to the side in a heated c
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 85
“Acelin what the actual hell happened to you back there,” I questioned as me him and Onyx ran to meet up with the others. In the two minutes since we’d left the room we were hiding in they’d already killed a few others. Was it weird that seeing vampires get killed no longer bothered me that much?“When I ran out of the room, I realized I had made a miscalculation and there were a few more than what I had originally thought. They were lingering at the end of the long hall in wait, so I needed to take care of them before they attempted to alert others.”“Yes. When I passed him, three had been killed and he was actively fighting two others.”“Wow! You took out five vampires by yourself. How strong are you?”“Just barely above average.” Onyx responded and I saw Acelin glare at her letting me know he was much stronger that she mocked him about.“When he saw me, he knew there was no longer any need to fear. I am stronger than my brother, so he knew I would get to you and save the day.”“Humi
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 84
The confidence I had only moments ago was slowly fading. The longer we waited, the more worried I became. Acelin’s face was solemn, a permanent frown creased his brows. As best as he tried to mask it, the concern he felt inside was overpowering. I felt it as if it was my own anxiety. Some of it probably was. His emotions and my own were a perfect mixture.I was sure he was running the different scenarios through his mind, most likely coming up with endings that didn’t bode well for us. And I was also sure at that point Zariah knew we’d escaped, and it was only a matter of time before we were found. With no idea of how far we were from Adrian and the others, it was logical that she or the other vampires of the Guild would get to us before my people. My people…I missed them so much, and because of the situation I couldn’t help but think it might be the end. Would I ever see them again? Would I get to tell them goodbye? There were so many things left unsaid, so many things
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 83
“Stay close to me.” Acelin tugged me behind him. “No matter what. If for whatever reason I lose my hold on you or I need to use my hands, you grab on to me. I want to feel your body against mine at all times, stuck like glue. Climb onto my back if you must.” I struggled to hear his low whispers, but the last part made me smile. How he remained calm and composed, even able to crack a joke at a time like this, was beyond me. He wasn’t playing around, though. I knew he felt guilty that someone had lured me in by pretending to be him. So in case anything happened, he wanted me close so no one could get their hands on me again. We made our way through the dark building hugging the halls. Thankfully Acelin led, because I could barely see a thing. Of course vampires could see in the dark. The flooring felt like concrete, a bit damp and the air smelledk moldy. So we were underground, but where? Where had the lunatic witch brought us?“We need to find a quiet space. Zariah and
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 82
Tears of anger pooled into my eyes and began to stream down my face. She was taunting me, almost as if she enjoyed it, and I hated her with everything in my being. How could someone be so evil? In the past, I may have threatened but when it came down to it, I’m not so sure I would really go through with it, but never had I wanted to kill another so much in my life. My face warmed, then my whole body. A layer of sweat formed from the tension. She still held my wrists down tightly and she was freaking strong. But I was pissed off, and suddenly a woman scorned. I struggled against her hold and the restraints at my ankles calling upon all my strength to break myself free. Fueled by complete rage, I screamed in pure anguish, something grown from anger, grief, and helplessness. Zariah’s body was flung away from me like a ragdoll slamming against the wall and onto the floor with a satisfying thud. I looked down at myself confused, unsure what kind of magic that was but I wouldn’
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 81
Zariah stared down at me with narrowed eyes roaming over my body skeptically in contemplation. Then she turned, and for a moment I thought she was just going to walk out the door, leaving me alone. Instead, she grabbed a chair and sat it down right in front of me. “You ask a lot of questions, almost like a precocious child.”Yeah, yeah. So, I’d been told. “I can answer these questions if you really want to know. I can tell you how everything came to be, because none of it will matter in due time. But my question is are you ready for the truth, because I’m certain you won’t like what you learn.”Was I ready? Probably not. Did I really want to know about what truth she spoke of? Same answer. I already knew Zariah was capable of horrible things. And if in some crazy world she was as old as she claimed, she had time to commit other horrible things. But was it necessary? Yes. I didn’t want to know, I needed to. If I was going to be able to do anything to help, I had to figure out exactly
