A/N// Awww, I’m so single…I feel so lonely because of them. COMMENT! DROP SOME GEMS!
Sathe woke up to Verya’s arm still wrapped around him. The sheets were rumpled, the blanket barely covered either of them and the sun was bright enough to climb through the windows.Verya was sleeping, her face only inches away from his, but even at such a close distance she still managed to look beautiful.There were still no flaws, no blemishes, just tanned skin made from utter perfection. Her eyelashes were long and thick, lips moist and slightly ajar, breaths soft and gentle…she was pretty.She looked like an angel, a being that should be nowhere near him. But she was beside him, holding him so close as if she had no intent of letting him go. There was this glow around her, it couldn’t be from the sun, for she was shining even brighter than the biggest star in the sky…it was a personal glow, something that only she possessed, something that always managed to captivate him.He liked her a little too much, so much so that he was starting to think she was an obsession. He had gotten
“You want to learn how to fight, why?” “J-Just because.” “Well, I guess there doesn’t have to be a specific reason to want to learn how to fight. It should be mandatory for everyone…all pack members should be able to defend themselves.”“So…So then, you’ll teach me?” “I will, but you have to give me a reward every day after training.” “What d-do you want though?” “I’ll tell you when the time comes.” Her arms slipped from around him and she sat up in bed, stretching. “For now, let’s begin our day, the sun’s out.” Sathe nodded, mirroring her actions which took him off the bed. He followed her into the living room where she gave him a toothbrush along with some toothpaste from her bag and then into the kitchen where she filled them both a cup of water from the only water supply in the house. She told him that the house was unfinished. A bathroom was supposed to be built, but father had permanently postponed it because he thought bathing outdoors was even better than bathing in a ba
The path back to the cottage was not something Verya looked forward to. It was a long way, far from the pack house, but that was one thing Verya liked about it. She didn’t have to deal with the disrespect she’d receive constantly at the pack house, and she didn’t have to compete with Jake either… She liked the distant it gave her away from the people who didn’t like her and the closeness it gave her to Sathe…perhaps that’s why she didn’t detest the long walk she had to take. It was a small price to pay for the happiness the little house gave her. She didn’t remember much about her mom, but the fact that she used to live there gave Verya a sense of peace. However, along with that peace came a longing that Verya didn’t know she had. She wished she could remember something significant about the past, about her mom, however she couldn’t, and dad refused to tell her the cause of the war that took her away from Verya. It was unfair, but it was her fault for forgetting. Sighing, Verya shif
Verya picked up the blouse she had left by the lake, throwing it over her shoulder. The material was dampened by the wet grass it had been on, it smelled like sweat, something she was so familiar with, however there was a scent nearby that she wasn’t at all acquainted with. She knew what specie it belonged to, but the fact that it was so close was what she didn’t understand. A fae trespassing on werewolf land? There must be one reason for such a calamity…and she knew just what it was… Verya moved away from the lake, finding solid grounds instead of the slippery grass. It was here to fight and even if it wasn’t, it deserved death for trespassing on her father’s land without permission. Faes weren’t friends to werewolves, especially when it came to her father…her father hated them since one had been the root cause of his mate’s death… And for that, Verya hated them too. Verya’s eyes searched the dark premises, not finding it on low grounds. Her eyes shifted up and even before she coul
“You weren’t built for war, were you? How can you look into your enemy’s eyes and ask for help? I’m not going to help her or you either…I was sent to kill her, but a witness can’t be left alive, right? I’m killing you too.”She took an arrow from her back, situating it into the bow. “She seemed capable, I don’t know why she risked her life to save you, but it was a foolish decision, you’re nothing important…you’re weaker than a child.”Sathe’s breaths got heavier as he tried his best to calm down. Something inside of him was raging, it felt like there was fire in his chest, a presence that could burn him wholly…It felt like there was something aching to come out, someone even more angry about Verya’s state than him.“You’re just her mate’s brother…but isn’t it good that none of you will miss each other…? All three of you will be burning in hell tonight…together.”Sathe didn’t quite get it…all three? Was Aron in danger too? And in hell…?‘If anybody was going to rot in hell tonight…it’
Verya groaned as pain awakened her…her shoulder felt empty, but that was probably because the arrow that had been in it was in someone else's hand. She still felt dizzy, but her vision was a bit more stabilized; she could see that she was in a hospital room and the scent was as atrocious as ever. There was one person in the room apart from her; an obvious doctor. He was standing above her, still holding the pointed arrow in his hand. “I see I’ve woken you up.” Verya groaned as she tried to sit up, but the man pushed her back down. “Stay put.” “Why…Why am I here?” “You were targeted, a fae came after you and then you were rushed here.” “A fae…?” The memories of what Verya couldn’t even call a battle flashed before her eyes, but she could only worry about one thing or rather one person. “Sathe! Where’s Sathe?” “Sathe…?” The doctor looked down at her cluelessly, finally placing the arrow down and taking up some cotton instead. “I’m not sure who’s that, but you can go find them after
“Sathe…?” Sathe looked at her, taking a step back. “V-Verya…?” “Yeah?” She stepped outside, closing the door behind her. “I was just coming to see you…are you alright?” “I…I…” He took yet another step away from her, turning his face in another direction. “I-I came to s-say goodbye…I’m leaving…I…bye.” “What? You’re leaving? All of a sudden? Did my father say something to you?” Sathe shook his head. “I-I don’t belong here…I’m going back…back to where I belong.” “Sathe what….what is wrong with you? Are you having mood swings or something? We were okay just tonight…where the f*ck is all this coming from?” She stepped closer to him, sighing out in frustration. “I swear to god your head works different from the norm…communicate Sathe…at least tell me why exactly you want to leave…Did I do something wrong?” “No, I…” The hospital door was shoved open and both Verya and Sathe watched as Aron stepped through it. He smiled as he walked towards them. “Love at its finest…didn’t you know lo
Verya sighed as she stood to her feet. She didn’t want to be one of those stupid and possessive alphas, but how could she really sit and let Sathe leave?She knew he said he didn’t want to stay anymore, but there must be a way to persuade him. She didn’t understand what had gotten into him, if it wasn’t father, then was it her?Verya started on her feet, she was still weak, but she still managed to clumsily run back to the cottage in the forest…his scent was strongest there…but…but it wasn’t strong enough.He wasn’t there, was he? Verya turned towards the woods not too far from the house…he…did he really leave? Her steps wavered as she walked over to the tall bushes…how could he just leave?How could Sathe really leave…? She had heard his words, but she didn’t think he had the courage to put them into action. She thought she’d come back here and find him waiting for her by the porch or on the sofa, but he wasn’t there…he had been serious and she hadn’t even known it. Why?That’s what
Sathe’s heartbeat froze when the fluttering of wings drifted across his ears. They were closer, just above them. He took a chance, looking back at the creature that stalked the sky and he wasn’t wrong, it was a fae… ‘Help…’ he called out to his self-consciousness. ‘Help me…please…’ The beast within him responded almost immediately, it was as if he had been waiting to be called. ‘Pathetic…’ Sathe closed his eyes as his control slowly slipped from his grasp. He could feel as his eyes changed colour, and feel as fur covered his arms. His claws came forth next, unintentionally sinking into Verya’s thighs. “Owe…Sathe…what’s tha…?” She looked down at his arm, eyes widening when she saw what was happening. “N-No…Sathe you can~” “Verya!” Both Sathe and Verya turned to stare at the creature who called out. It landed behind them, and Sathe growled as he turned around to look at it. It was a fae, yes, but it was a child. She stepped back, holding her hands up in defence. “Jake sent me…he tol
Sathe woke up wrapped in Verya’s silver fur as well as the redolence of her scent. It was comforting, after spending two days away from her, waking up in her scent was a privilege to him.But regardless of that, he had to leave again…He sat up, turning to stare at her. It was dark out, and the cold breeze swept across his bare skin like hands: harsh and cold, but despite being in her wolf form, Verya seemed to be suffering from it more than him.She was shaking, and even in her sleep, her teeth were chattering. He didn’t think she was fine, she didn’t at all look fine.His hand reluctantly reached for her, but he stopped before he could touch her. He had been thinking of using this opportunity to get away without her knowing, but if he woke her up, he’d lose it, wouldn’t he? She’d stop him, he knew, only a couple of words from her could persuade him.But how could he leave when she was like this?Sighing, he shook her awake. “Verya, are you okay?”Verya’s hazel eyes fluttered open, s
“Are yo~” He stumbled back holding onto his chest. “My session is over…this is the longest I can keep my control over this body. It’s too weak…I have to go…”The black in his eyes cleared to white and Verya caught Sathe’s body before he could fall. He was out cold, a log against her shoulder…Sighing, she struggled to get him on her back, not because he was heavy, but because it was hard to relocate a limp body. She managed, but that didn’t stop her from frowning as she carried on deeper into the woods. His body was putting pressure on her injured shoulder, she wouldn’t be able to get far like this, but she had to try. Jake would be suspicious if he found her with a naked Sathe covered in fae blood. She had to find them water where they both could wash what was supposed to be a secret off of them.However, even with the determination, she didn’t get far enough, she had to stop when the pain got too much…and still, she had to change forms in order to keep Sathe warm when the evening
He raised his head to look at her, eyes still completely black; without the whites. “If that’s what you’re worried about, I won’t…I’ve never had a mate before, this life is way more privileged than the others. But…”Verya knitted her eyebrows curious as to what the vile creature had to say next. “B-But?” “You’re disappointed in me, aren’t you? I could see it in your eyes…you were angry. But why? I did it for you…you shouldn’t be angry…you should be happy.” “Happy that you’re killing innocent people?” “No…happy that I’m doing it to protect you.” He hung his head low. “Ruffle my hair…tell me I did good.” Verya glared at the top of his head, the anxiousness had now melted into nothing, and her fear was now dead. “Are you kidding me right now?” “I’m not…I really did all of this for you…I deserve to be praised. I feel weird, I don’t like the disappointment that I saw in your eyes, I don’t like the anger or the hate. I’ve never had a mate before, so I want to be reassured, I want to co
Her glossy eyes drifted up, meeting the horrendous sight of a creature she didn’t wish to see. Its eyes were black, all the natural whites eradicated and taken over. Its red fur was soaked in blood giving it a stench that made it seem a lot more dangerous than it probably was… It had no humanity in those eyes…it seemed lost, only remembering how to kill and it was doing just that. Every arrow that came at it was proven to be of no good, even when they pierced the creature it didn’t cry out in pain…instead it effortlessly pushed them back out. Did it perhaps get stronger? Was its healing ability almost immediate now? Verya shook her head, it wasn’t the time to assess its strength, she had to stop Jake. Her eyes shifted back down, spotting Jake who had already transformed into his wolf form. He looked tiny when compared to the beast, but in truth, his wolf was just as big as hers. The beast truly was a giant, perhaps that’s why so many different supernatural beings had to join forces
Verya had never been one to look forward to a long walk, and this time it was no different. The fae had said it was close, but this was by far the furthest she’d ever walked on two legs with a destination in mind. She wanted to forfeit, to give it all up, but she had to remind herself that it was all for a good cause. ‘For Sathe…’ She thought, groaning as she took a look at the long way ahead. Why was Sathe doing this to her? No, the real question was ‘why was she doing this to herself?’ Sathe didn’t ask her to hunt him down, she had chosen this path singlehandedly, but it was so f*cking hard to see it through. God dammit! “Are we even close yet?” She was ashamed of herself, the fact that her mate ran away from her had her pride dirt low, and not truly knowing the real reason why made it worst. All she could do was come up with assumptions... He left because he was scared... He left because of her father... He left because he felt self-conscious Or the worst assumption of the
As the fae said, the cave wasn’t far, it was at the very bottom of the mountain, dark and quiet. Jake was the first to step inside and Verya followed him hesitantly, leaving Aron and Ethan behind.Inside was almost beyond her werewolf eyes, she could barely see anything. There were just rocks, rocks and dirt. “You think she’s here?”“I know she is…she’s scared…she wouldn’t come out. I smell her too.”Verya nodded, she smelled something too, the stench of a creature she didn’t really like, but despite that, it was pitiful. It was almost impossible to not sympathize on the current situation, especially since it happened because of her.Sighing, her eyes darted around, spotting a slight movement behind a rock in the corner of the cave. She grabbed Jake’s arm, gesturing towards it. “I-I think she’s here.”Jake stopped, looking towards the rock. “Come out.”A harsh breath dragged on in the silence but there was no further movement. Jake stepped towards the rock, but stepped back when someo
Verya pocketed her hands as she continued into the woods. The sun was rising, and though she didn’t sleep much through the night, her steps were energetic, and her eyes wide open. Jake, Ethan and Aron were walking in front of her…all three were unwanted company, but the more help, the better, right? Sighing, her eyes drifted through the bushes with a sad gleam in them. She missed Sathe…it had been two days of searching now and she couldn’t pick up a trace of him. Would he really not return to her? And did she have the right to look for him when he left willingly? He said he didn’t want to stay anymore, what would she tell him when she found him? That he should come back to a place that he didn’t want to be? What if he refused to listen to her…? What if it all ended with a rejection? Verya was so scared and confused right now, she didn’t know what to do and why this was happening, she was completely lost…but she knew one thing and it was that she wouldn’t let him go without a proper
Sathe looked down at his bloody body with a sick smile on his lips. He didn’t know why, but the fact that the blood on his bare skin was for once not his gave him a sense of superiority. The voice was rumbling in his head, dark and alluring, nothing he was afraid of, and the dead bodies he stepped on as he walked out of a havoc he created pleased him greatly. He felt powerful…like a monster…a beast…but wasn’t that what he was? Sathe’s smile grew even wider, his eyes drifting towards a fae who was pitifully trying to crawl away. Her body was soaked in the blood that fed the earth, her heavy breaths the only thing that dragged on into the night. He walked over to her, pressing his foot into her back. “And where do you think you’re going?” “Please…I beg you…d-don’t kill me.” A chuckle, one with not an ounce of humour drifted up his throat. “Please…? Should I really not kill you? Beg some more and I’ll consider leaving you alive.” “Please…” She turned to stare at him, her face just
