MiaI woke up, surprised that I was in my bedroom, the one I had picked for myself in the house before the king decided to make me his court maid and I became his unofficial resident doctor. I didn't know if I had passed out while shifting or had fallen asleep when I was done.I wondered if the boys had had a rough night staying by my side. I wondered how long I was a wolf for and kept them awake. They must have waited all night with me as one of them definitely got me inside and tucked me in bed.With the way I was naked, the shift must have been successful and I had lost my clothes. I groaned, lamenting the loss of my clothes. I loved those clothes and wouldn't have worn them if I had known that I was going to shift that night.I sighed, feeling silly. I should have been conscious of the full moon and knew what day it was. I had known that I was going to shift ever since the wolves had bitten me. Why couldn't I remember that? I snorted, getting over my sulk. It was just a gown and i
AvaI couldn't stop wondering if I had made the right choice by letting the werewolf girl continue the treatment on Ethan. I needed someone to tell me that I had made the right choice.I had found it hard to believe when Rudolph had sat me down and told me what he had learned from the werewolves. It had been a hard pill to swallow but yet it had been easy to accept when I thought of all the strange attitude that Ethan had exhibited. It wasn't likely that everything was because of the fall as we had excused him when he started acting differently. He wasn't the first to fall so why would he be different?I should have suspected that something was wrong with him when he had gone out of the city to raid the house of the werewolves he never knew. It was my fault that I didn't caution him harder when he had started throwing his people into the dungeon for reasons that were irritable to the ears. His reasons were all excuses and he was only acting out as a bully towards his people.I should
MiaI frowned as I looked at the lightning streaking in the sky, it was bright enough that it made the night look like the day even though it was well way past dusk. I winced as I heard the thunder rumbling loudly in the sky as well.I had never been afraid of thunder but this wasn't part of it. I shivered and ran my hands over my shoulders, wiping the sweats off my palms with my clothes.Quinn noticed and moved closer to me. "Are you fine?"I shook my head. "I don't think I am.""What happened? I didn't think you were afraid of the thunder."I shook my head. "I didn't think so too.""But you are at the moment?""It seems like that.""Okay." He nodded. "Come over here."What could I have said to that? I moved closer to him and jumped into his arms. I smiled as I sat between his legs and he wrapped his hands around me."Feeling better now?"I nodded, smiling like an idiot. "Yes.""Good."It felt good to have his arms around me. I could focus on his warmth, scent and breath slightly tea
MiaWe all moved to the bedroom of the king, armed with nothing but our determination and the sap. Today was the D-Day. It was today and no other day else. The dark wizard was going out and down today. We had all had enough.Ava was already seated in the room at the edge on Ethan's bed and cleaning his body as she gazed at him lovingly with love. I pitied her the most of everyone that was concerned in this matter. It must be hard on her though she pretended as if it wasn't but I knew that she must surely have her own days that she would break down in secret.I saluted her courage and strength and respected her for that. I couldn't imagine that it was one of the boys that was in the state that Ethan was, I would have lost it even though I still had two to worry about.I couldn't imagine how she must feel, watching the only man she loved sleeping there, unconscious and fighting for his identity. It hurt that we had no idea of the battles Ethan was dealing with in his head. I hoped that
EthanI looked at my beautiful Ava walking towards me and looking radiant in her bridal gown. It was our mating ceremony again and this time, it was certain that it was going to happen for good. We had gone through some rough times and had finally put it behind us. I was glad that Ava had decided to marry me again.It felt good to be back to myself and I felt appalled at all what I had done and said while I was crazy. I would also choose to call it my crazy period as my pride wouldn't allow me agree that I was possessed by an evil being.The guilt of all that I had done pressed down on my conscience and I couldn't stop worrying about it. I had been wracked with guilt, shame and depression for days after everything was over that I wouldn't even go out to see anyone. It was Ava, Rudolph and the wolves who constantly cheered me up and reminded me that it wasn't my fault that all those things had happened.I didn't think I could ever have gotten over my nasty emotions if it hadn't been fo
QuinnFinally, we were home. I couldn't believe it. I knew that we weren't going to die in the land of the vampires but it felt like we were never going to get home. It was good to be back home. I breathed in the familiar scent of the air, loving how the wolf in me ticked with joy.There was an unrivaled way about how good it always felt to be back at home, on our turf, in our territory. It smelled like earth, fur, sweats and bones, just the way I had smelled it as child, loved it and had gotten used to it. I could see the way my brothers moved their nostrils and I knew that I wasn't the only one who was happy to be back home.It was the way it always was when we got back from the sea on leave as well. I loved being a marine officer, going on field operations and doing my job diligently but nothing could ever beat the excitement I felt whenever I was at home.Maybe after we were done with everything we had to do, we could shift and go for a run. Mia would also join us. I was excited t
MiaIt was nice to see the house back to its former state. We had cleaned up the house without the staff. Albert didn't want them to deal with the sight of the messed up house and have trauma of the incident that he was certain they were trying to keep buried. I knew already that he was a good man that what he did didn't surprise me anymore.After the house had been cleaned and everything restored to their position, we had started putting calls through to the staff. They had been relieved to hear that we were back home and safe and we were relieved that they were interested in working with us again.They were all back yesterday and we were a happy family once again. At the moment, we were seated at the dining table enjoying a treat from the cook.There was laughter all around the table and I was glad to see that. I was overjoyed to see the relaxation on the faces of everyone. It was easy to forget the rough journey we had all been through this last month."Here you go."We all looked
QuinnI didn't know if Mia was getting back at us for wasting her time the other day we had been about to travel on a voyage to the Sea of Death or she was truly taking her time to look good for where we was going.It had been more than ten minutes that we were all supposed to meet and we were already at the car but she was nowhere to be found."When is she going to be here?" Jack frowned."Let's give her some time." I said even though I had the same thought in my head."Here I am." She smiled as she joined us.Holy Fuck, I breathed in wonder. The doubts in my head were all cleared up. She wasn't taking her revenge on us. She was taking her time to look good for us. She looked amazing and breathtaking. I couldn't take my eyes off of her and neither could the others.We watched with hearts beating fast and eyes going wide the closer she got to us. She looked beautiful, more than I had ever seen her before and I knew she had worn this on purpose. She wore one of the gowns that we had bo
