Thank you for reading!
Sarah POV “Change of plans!” Damian found the basketball goal and ball. Sliding it over to the poolside, he snapped it into place. Standing there with his shorts low on his hips, showing off that V in his muscles and acting like he had no idea how he made my body shudder. “Hell yeah! Girls verse guys?” Dom held up his hand for a high five. “No!” I said, standing up. “That would be unfair!” “You would never pass me the ball!” Brittany frowned at Dom. “Me and Dom, verse Damian and Brittany?” “Perfect!” Brittany smiled. “Dom can guard Damian and I can guard you!” that way it kept me from touching Damian. Damian slid into the water and made his way to the other side to start the game. “Sounds good. Ready ol’ man?” “Old man? I am only two years older than you!” Dom stood at his full height as he approached Damian. “Yeah, and slower!” Damian pulled the basketball to his side as he crouched down, signaling he was ready to go. Faking a jab to the left, he tried to go right but
Nina POV We took off as soon as we could get away from the funeral and headed to the airport. It shattered my heart seeing how skinny Sarah was looking. She hasn’t eaten anything and her wolf was losing it. I don’t think she realizes how much her wolf is hurting right now, either. I have gotten good at singling out emotions of those I want to focus on, and her wolf has been my attention for the last few days. I can feel the anger building up, but what concerns me the most is the depression. Her wolf is longing for a mate. Right now, her wolf is being split into two ways. Needing a mate for her loneliness and the other part of her fulfilling her role as queen. She needs a mate to be by her side in order to rule and she is feeling that loss. It’s one thing to heal a human heart, it’s another to heal a wolf’s heart, if at all possible. “What are you thinking about?” Wyatt interrupted my thoughts as the plane hit some turbulence. “Sarah’s wolf.” “What does Raven say about it?” “Not
Sarah POV “What’s wrong?” Damian looking concerned as he grabbed my shoulders and forced me to face him. His eyes were full of concern that made me feel comforted. “It’s my dad. I don’t know, I just know he is in trouble. Mom and dad went to that island to check it out.” My voice was barely a whisper as my eyes teared up. Damian wrapped me in his arms and held me close as my body started shaking. My dad was in trouble and I couldn’t do anything to help him! I can’t lose my dad too! The door to the pool flew open as Jason stormed in. “SARAH!” He was practically running up to me with a frantic look on his face. Jason only stopped when he realized I was crying. “What is it, Jason?” “It’s Mila. She froze up and is rocking back and forth with a death grip on some stuff animal. Something is wrong! She is scared shitless!” Jason started looking around at Dom and then realized I was in a strangers arms. “Who the fuck are you?” Jason stood straight, showing off his height. “You’re going
Nina POV Wyatt was grabbing his throat as if he was choking. Small gasp of air barely escaped his lips as his eyes pleaded with me for help. I could feel his panic and anger that had exploded in him. Running up to him, I could see what looked like impressions of a hand around his throat. I started panicking, too. How do I save him? I can’t electrocute someone that isn’t there. Astra was like smoke as she let go of Wyatt and then moved to the next warrior. She wasn’t trying to actually kill anyone but flex her abilities to show us who is more powerful. I was fucking pissed off. The more I watched my warrior’s faces turn blue and then gasp for air at the last second was a new form of torture I hadn’t experienced. “See? You are no match for Astra, Nina. Give it up now.” Grant was smiling as he watched the scene unfold. I couldn’t take it, the anger was building up in me. My eyes were glowing green as I felt the wind pick up around me. “Fuck you! You were unwanted then, and you were
Sarah POV “Only one thing left before we will know if your wolf will survive. “ Damian muttered into my hair as he held me close. “What?” Leaning back, it was like another knife to my heart. Did he really think I wasn’t strong enough to survive this? “Don’t get mad at me. This is all natural and normal. I know you and Dax were working on your relationship, but he was still your mate and in order for you to move on, you need to fully accept he is gone.” “I know he is gone.” I said stubbornly. However, my wolf still jumped when the door opened. Hoping this would all be a bad dream. “Do you want to become queen?” “I-I… what?” “You would need to take another mate if you want to be queen.” “That’s not really a priority right now, Damian.” I jumped up and put some distance between us. It was then that I was painfully aware that I was still in my bikini. “It should be! What if your wolf doesn’t mate it through next week and you have to pick someone?” “I don’t know! My parent’s
Sarah POV The three of them showed up like clockwork. I had just finished getting dress in leggings and just a loose sweater. For some reason, I just felt cold. The smell of the pot roast was already making my stomach rumble. A good hearty meal was comforting for me right now. “That smells amazing!” I said as I came out of my closet. Brittany was uncovering everything and setting it all up. Dom pulled out a folding table and chairs so we could sit at a table to eat since it could get messy. “It does! The staff always does so good and I was craving this, so I asked for it.” Brittany said as her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. “I’m always down for a comforting hearty meal!” “I got the alcohol!” Damian said as he came over to three whiskeys and a vodka cran for Brittany. “Perfect.” We sat down and ate in silence. The table was a basic square table for four people. Brittany and Dom sat beside each other, so Damian had to sit by me. His leg kept touching mine, even though I t
I suddenly felt hopeful, just thinking about getting Dax back. What I didn’t understand was the sharp pang of disappointment that ran through me. Damian. Would I really chose Damian over Dax? “I honestly don’t know, Sarah. I doubt it. He died. We burned his body at his funeral. His soul wouldn’t have a body to return to. Even if he did come back, I have no idea if your mate bond would still be there. It was cut when he died. I’m sorry, Sarah, but Dax is gone.” Mom didn’t sugarcoat it. I mentally knew that, but the hope that briefly crossed my heart made my heartache all over again. “I understand, but we cannot let his soul be trapped like that!” Fresh tears burned my eyes. “I agree. We will need to figure out a plan for how we will attack and when.” Mom stated more for my benefit of calming down. “What was so special with Mila?” Damian asked. “Grant said that when Mila was younger, she showed signs of having powers that Astra did not. Astra then gave her a potion to strip or
Ripping my hand out of his grasp, I took a few steps back to put some distance between us. “A pleasure, I’m sure. Who are you?” I decided to be a more polite direct than show my full crazy. Damian and Dom had moved on either of my sides. “My name is Mark Johnson, and I wanted to come and listen to you address the pack.” “Obviously, but you are not a pack member, so again, what can I do for you?” “I am scouting for a new pack. I didn’t like my… current Alpha and so I went on a vacation.” So many red flags. “Who is your current alpha?” “Alpha Axel. Son of the late Alpha Damian and Luna Holly.” Why did those names sound so familiar? I know those names… but where? “Unfortunately, this is not an open invitation and I am actually a little concerned about how you even got into the pack to start with.” Looking over, I nodded to some warriors. “My apologies. I didn’t mean to crash the party. I will see myself out.” “No.” “No?” “No, you are trespassing uninvited, and I know you ar

Damian POVI watched her perfect ass walk to the bathroom. I had to hide a laugh as her legs were still shaking. I needed a minute. Sitting on the couch, my mind went over the last few hours. I wasn’t sure what happened but when I saw Dax’s ghost, my heart sank. Then he had the little boy but the worst part was that Sarah wasn’t shocked to see him. She knew he was there. She must have talked to him. I tried to keep the doubt from filling me that she would have chose him. “Damian.” A voice I thought I’d never hear again was clear as day.My head instantly shot up. I was in complete disbelief to see Dax standing in front of me. My mouth opened a few times but nothing came out.”Wa-”“The Moon Goddess is allowing me a five minute visit. I came to tell you that she is all yours. She has accepted I died and she loves you with her whole heart. I was never meant to live through this. This was always how it was suppose to work. She saved you as much as you saved her. It’s cruel how things end
Our bodies froze as I pushed the knife in until I felt his blood run down my hand. Twisting the knife counter clockwise at 90 degrees, I made sure he wouldn’t survive the tree days it would take to suck his soul out. “NO!!” Astra yelled out as she watched Grant fall off me, holding the knife. His eyes landed on her as blood seeped from his eyes, nose and mouth. Kicking him away from me, I grabbed my side breathing heavily. “Give it up. You are finished!” Astra’s eyes went straight back as she chanted something before lifting her head up and screamed. Black smoke formed between us as a sort of bird manifested in front of me. It looked like a Raven but beefed up. Maybe more like a dragon but either way, it’s beady red eyes were focused on me. I reacted on instinct as my shield went up right as it shot something white at me. It was like little daggers hitting my shield so hard that it caused me to fall to the ground, under the pressure. The creature didn’t stop it’s attack. T
I had no idea what to do. Running back into the hut, Maverick’s laugher became background noise. Sliding on my knees, I skidded to a stop, right in front of my mom. Her body was cold as ice. “MOM!” I yelled. Shaking her, she did not respond. I didn’t even think before pulling my hand back and slapping her arm across the face. Nothing. She didn’t move or even flinch as my hand made contact with her body. I looked frantically around, for anything to help. My eyes landed on Dax’s name. Glancing over quickly at Astra, she was still saying an chant. As quietly as I could, I tiptoed my way over to the shelf and uncorked Dax’s vial with shaking hands. The smoke shot out of it. Before it knew it, a ghostly figure that reselmed Dax stood in front of me. “You have to stop her!” Dax looked at me with urgency. “How? What do I do?” My heart ached for him. “I could knock the cauldron over but she could just pick it back up again!” “You can do this. You need to think. Your mother and you joined
Everything had darken as it looked like not a single ray of sun was hitting these trees. Cages of monkeys were hanging from the branches just above my head. They were thrashing around with a crazed look in their eyes. My heart kept breaking as we slowly walked deeper into the heinous environment. Baskets lined the path with a variety of items. Some where of insects and some where of different spices or herbs. The smell is what caused me the most discomfort. Rotten flesh or decaying fecal matter is so potent that I not even sure it will come out of these clothes. As the path opened up, there was three huts in a half circle at the end of the path. A firepit at in the middle with a cauldron resting on top of it. Purple smoke was going straight up through a small opening in the trees, creating a dome shape in the canopy. “Let’s continue the tour, shall we?” Maverick gestured to the first hut on the left. Glancing behind me, the trees had closed around the path we just took as it was no
Staying on my hands and knees, I slowly waved my arm out as I scooted forward. That stupid chair should be here, somewhere. Finally, my fingers grazed passed the cold metal as the boat shifted to the left. My stomach did a little twist that raised all the hairs on my body. I better not get sea sick in here! Picturing what the chair looked like, it would be easy to just melt the metal into one solid rod that I could sculpt. It was hard doing this in the dark but I was able to heat the metal up enough that the chair was now bent in a little cube. It was slow work for sure but using on hand, I was able to squeeze it together and pull out until it was shaped like a spear. While the metal was still hot, I extended my fingernail and started putting in grooves in a spiral down the rod so it looked like one giant drill bit. Unfortunately, I had to wait for it to cool before I could see if it was even going to work. With my other hand on the wall, I moved it around until I felt the crack of
“What is that?” Tom whispered quietly as he got close to examine the bite mark. “A vampire bite.” I said, casually. All three men and two wolves turned their head to look at me. “W-what?” Tom and Maverick asked at the same time. “She wouldn’t tell us what we wanted to know so we got…creative.” I shrugged. “By turning her into a vampire?” Tom asked. “One one vampire’s bite can make a change like this…” Maverick trailed off. “Winner winner, chicken dinner.” “You-you intentionally turned her into a vampire?” Tom asked, appalled. “Technically, no. Von is newly immortal and most not understand self control but my heart isn’t breaking for that bitch. I’ll kill her before her transformation is complete.” “Fucking ice princess….” Tom said as he pulled her shirt back down. “I’ll go get the food.” Maverick muttered as he walked into town. “Why ice princess?” I laughed as I walked to a tree and sat down. “You are literally choosing to be here. You could easily go invade her comp
“Shit!” Cynthia whispered as she pulled me to the floor. Should have known there was a security system. “Oh bummer…” I obviously faked concern. “What does Damian even see if you?” Cynthia said through clinched teeth. “Not much to look at and you have a mouth that gets you into trouble.” “Not sure what to tell you.” I smirked as the front door opened. “WHO’S IN HERE?” A voice boomed. The smell was human and as I peaked out from behind the clothes, he wasn’t going to chase us very far. Apparently, Cynthia made the same observation. As the police officer walked in, we made our way to the front. Sprinting quickly, we ran out the front door. “HEY! GET BACK HERE!” He bellowed. His breathing was already heavy as he exited the door. We were already in the woods and in a full sprint by the time he even hit the grass. “Burg… (deep breath) i-in progress… (deep breath) send-send help…” is all we heard. We were far enough that his voice became a whisper to us, but we kept running in case a d
“Not sure how to make that much clearer for you!” Cynthia looked at me with hate-filled eyes. It was all I could do to stare back. She had to find a human to sacrifice to prove her loyalty to Astra? Well shit. We weren’t going to fully break her. I doubt any amount of torturing will make her give us what we want. Maybe we can use this to our advantage? Von was looking at me, waiting for the go ahead, and Cynthia had put her head down as her breathing leveled out. “What are you thinking?” Damian mind-linked me. “She isn’t going to break. We are going about this wrong. It would be the same if I commanded you to not speak. You wouldn’t be physically able to say anything to whomever.” “Hmm.” “We need to change tactics. Let her think she is giving us bad information and use her to take us to them. We can’t wait for the eclipse. That’s too long if they have already cut mom and dad with the knife. Just follow my lead.” I said to Damian. I really hope this works. “What if I told you
