Chases strides are long and fast and I’m all but jogging to keep up. It was the first time I could truly take in his appearance up close his long black hair was slicked back, the skinny ripped Jeans looked as though they could combust with all the muscle underneath them. His v neck black shirt clung nicely to his sculptured body with tribal tattoos up both arms the only colour on him was the long sleeved red checkered shirt tied around his waste. His eyes were dark brown almost black and his dimple would make anyone melt. I cleared my throat and found the courage to speak “um thanks for helping out with Lucas today I hope you didn’t get in too much trouble” Chase threw his head back and let out a laugh. “Trouble is my middle name.. besides now we are even you saved me all those years ago I was only returning the favour” He suddenly stops in front of a door opens it and struts inside. I briefly glance at the door number to confirm this is my class I look into the class to see Alvin
Alvin and I walk into the pack house my parents are already awaiting our arrival. They smile proudly at the both of us “how was the first day sweetie” my mother asks. I plastered on a fake smile and stop the impulse to reply oh it was great I had made an enemy , got detention oh and chase the alpha to be of the obsidian pack has declared to make my life a living hell. I swiftly tell my parents “ it was great i am so excited to expand my training and education sorry I’m late Alvin and I wanted to get a head start on a project we were given today” My father pats Alvin’s back firmly “thatta boy Alvin you will make a fine leader for the elves one day” alvin smiles in return and thanks my father explains he too is late home and better get going. We say our good byes and I thank Alvin. It’s been a big day and want to retreat to my room as I’m heading up the stairs two at a time my father yells out to me not to forget about the dinner tomorrow night. I internally kick myself I forgot about
We arrive at school the F5 crew is already awaiting our arrival. Destin puts his arm around my shoulder as we head towards our group of friends. Karla looks agitated today and storms off as me are approaching I make a mental note to check in with her and see if she is okay. I have first period with her so I will take the opportunity to ask her then. I greet Delilah and Marisha with a hug while the boys give Alvin and his brother skeeter a fist bump. We chat for a bit before heading off to class. Colton is walking me to my class this morning he stops outside the door and gives me a hug. We don’t notice chase until he bumps Colton’s shoulder on his way inside. My sweet boy Colton just shrugs it off and takes off into a sprint to get to his class. I walk into the class room and scan the room Karla isn’t in the room and I have two choices the empty desk in front of Chase or the seat next to him. Definitely going with the desk in front. The teacher jumps straight into it and starts handing
The words princess is written across the piece of paper in writing I do not recognise. Unfolding the letter I read it in shock. “Sorry about today princess. I do not want my grades to rely on a project you wrote yourself. Meet me at the base at 10:30 tonight so I can hand my half of the paper into you to proof read… chase” I fold the piece of paper back up and slip it into my pocket as I make my way down the stairs. There’s two long tables set out beautifully one table for the parents the other for the children or should I say teenagers because we are all in high school. Karla has taken my usual seat I do not mind though and sit myself in between Alvin and Marisha. We talk about school and our training after dessert we head to the games room and turn a movie on. I can not focus on the movie no the only train of thought is my letter from alpha dick. Who does he think he is to make such requests of me why the base why not the library before school or something. I am bought back to the
School was uneventful the past week thankfully. Lucas had also apologised for his behaviour I wonder if it had anything to do with the meeting between our two packs? Everything was looking on the up I was thriving and enjoying my little independence bubble. Tonight is the night of the ball and I’m feeling really excited about it. Marisha is on the ball committee and has not shut up about every fine detail going into it. The girls have all decided to get ready at my place while the boys are going over to Alvin’s. The hair and makeup team has been set up and we have been rotating between the two we are finally ready to head to the ball. The hummer limo pulls up out the front our parents are going mad with the photos of us outside the limo. Once we get inside we start taking our own photos then Karla pulls out a bottle of vodka none of us have ever drunk alcohol before we have no mixer so we all take swigs from the bottle going around us. I feel a slight buzz but nothing more if anythin
I do not know what I expected the coven to look like but this exceeds my expectations. The old school log cabin type cottages are deep with in the woods there’s herbs scattered all through the area. Each individual cottage has its own vegetable catch with a communal veggie patch in the middle of the cottages equiped with fruit trees and bushes, every type of vegetable you could imagine along with a section of the rare medical herbs and plants. Wild Flowers grow all around this thriving community it truly is a wonderful experience. It’s morning so we head towards the covens group hall where they preform their rituals the group hall also doubles up and is used for breakfast every morning. Everyone here seems to have a job to make the breakfast routine run smoothly. We all take a seat once everyone is seated everyone joins hands along the table when Delilah speaks “Thank you Mother Earth for providing us this delicious harvest” We release hands and start to plate up some Delicious food
We arrive at the pack house I notice Destin looking at me worriedly through the rear view mirror from the front. Colton has been happy and chirpy the whole car ride talking about the ball and what the guys got up to in the fae kingdom. I plaster a smile on “sounds like you guys had a blast. Sorry if I seemed flat today I had a meeting with the high priestess and she laid some heavy duty shit on me for the most part the trip was enjoyable” we get out the car and I shoot Destin a look. I mind link him asking to meet me in the field I do not want shit to be awkward between us. Colton asks if we want to watch a movie I tell him I have a personal project from the high priestess to work on and Destin says his tired as shit and heading back to bed. Colton shrugs his shoulders “you know where to find me” I walk to the back of the pack house the grass in the field is over grown and whips my legs as I walk through I can hear the crickets and the familiar smell of “home” my safe place my child
I lay there waiting for Colton’s response feeling very conflicted torn between this is wrong Colton is like a brother and my future beta and this feels right let’s see where it goes. He leans into my ear his stubble brushing against my ear and neck sending shivers through my body as he whispers. “Tell me you don’t feel the pull between us and I will leave faith” When he says my name it sends shivers straight to my core and I would be lying if I said I didn’t like it. I know this is wrong but it feels so right I want to wait for my mate but what if Colton and Destin are my mates I certainly feel the pull with both of them and it’s not uncommon for werewolf twins to be mated to the same person. Would it be so bad if I act on these urges both of us want the same thing but how far am I willing to go? I roll over to face Colton he pulls me in closer to him and are bodies seem to fit together perfectly. We are staring deeply into each other eyes to the very depths of our souls. Before I
Leaving Delilah and Leon behind to work through their problems chase and I make our way back to our room. We walk hand in hand in a comfortable silence chase keeps stealing glance at me until I stop and turn to face him. “Spill it I can sense your anxiety through the bond” Chase closes the distance between us and takes me in his arms burrowing his face into my neck and inhaling my scent as he mumbles“Today helping Leon process everything it made me realise that I never want to lose you through differences I want you by my side even on the hardest of days and I would never leave you on your hard days promise me we will get through everything together and I will cut ties with my pack to allow you to go through the alpha initiation and take your rightful place” I look deep into his eyes for any hint of doubt but find nothing but confidence in his words.“I don’t want to deny you your rightful place as alpha of the obsidian pack so I propose we both take the title of alpha in my pack
Delilah ~Leon was in a fit of rage the energy he is emitting is so powerful if I weren’t Leon’s intertwined I’m sure I would have passed out five minutes ago. “You knew Delilah and you didn’t think to tell me. Some intertwined you are if you can keep such a big thing from me what else could you hide from me? Do you have anymore skeletons in your closet because now is the time to lay everything on the table I don’t know if I could handle anymore deception from you” “Leon please calm down. I had your best interests at heart I only wanted to protect you from the truth until the time was right we weren’t doing it with malice” “I’m half fucking demon Delilah half demon I’m a monster” Leon dropped to his knees on the floor in his desperate vulnerable state i cautiously walk to his side rubbing circles on his back and softly whisper.“You’re no monster Leon far from it you may be demon by blood but you are pure of heart. I’m sorry I did not tell you sooner I however don’t regret my deci
After we question leon further to see if we can get any information he may not have recollected or deemed important chase, Conrad, Delilah and I look between each other I give Delilah a look and the witch bitch understands my unspoken question shaking her head and looking down I know she is not the one who wants to break Leon’s lineage to him. I give chases hand a squeeze under the table confirming he is the one to break it to leon. Chase clears his throat and looks at leon I can tell this is hard for him after all he was the one who smuggled Nikki and Leon out of the cells in the obsidian pack and gave them a new life. “I have something to tell you leon and it’s not going to be easy for me to say I want you to know you are a good friend and what I’m going to say may not be easy to hear but I done at the time what I thought was in your best interest and it’s time I speak your truth you deserve to know who you are”Leon cocks his head to the side clearly unsure about what chase is say
Chase and I make our way down to the coven and stop abruptly when we see a group of coven members preforming a protection spell around Delilah and Leon’s cottage we both know better than to interrupt the ritual so we take a few steps back so not to interrupt the energy field they are using. It’s not long before Marisha and Conrad come walking over hand in hand. “What in the hocus pocus is going on here” Marisha visibly rolls her eyes.“You are so uncultured for a supernatural species with having a close alliance with dark mages you are clueless” “Excuse me for not being an expert on ouija boards. Is anyone going to answer my question what the fuck is that shit it looks hectic” “A protection spell. It creates a barrier dark forces or anyone wishing ill can not penetrate the spell preformed by some of the countries strongest witches and wizards nothing could get past their threshold” “Challenge accepted” Marisha slaps Conrad in the chest while shaking her head. Conrad gives her a
I open my eyes and I’m surrounded by darkness I’m floating on the nothingness that surrounds me I can feel the cold on my skin and nothing else. As I start to feel the desperate whispers of what I can only assume are tortured souls the darkness eloping me drowning me in the pit of others despairs I feel it crawling on my skin. In the distance I can see a speck of a bright white light as if a beckon it’s warmth calls to me I don’t know how I know but I know I must reach the light or succumb to the dark void I feel surrounding me. I start to drift in the direction of the bright light but it seems forever out of my reach. I frantically start to swim in the nothingness desperate to reach the warm embrace of the light. I finally find my way to the light when an ethereal aura appears swirling through the light a golden aura swirling through the light I can feel a presence with in the golden hue but no embodiment appears. “Faith both you and chase have finally completed your destined bond b
We are all back in my office now including Marisha and Conrad I guess they are now very much apart of the inner circle. Everyone is seated around my rectangular mahogany desk waiting for the kitchen staff to bring up some snacks so we can get started. One of the kitchen staff bring in a silver trolley full of assorted sandwiches, fruits, nuts, petite desserts bottles of water and cans of soda she lays it out on the table. Conrad reaches over and takes a sandwich shovelling it into his mouth he reaches for another when Marisha slaps his hand and reminds him about table manners. Chase rolls his eyes at this gesture. “His a bloody demon he knows nothing about table manners let the man eat” Conrad sends a wink chases way and it gives me a brilliant idea. So far we have decided Destin alone will be my beta and we will hold trials for the gamma position who ever wins will take the gamma title. Delilah has stated her coven have all agreed they no longer want to rebuild their old coven and h
Now that everyone is here I turn to Karla she is surprised she was the first one I turned to in a pack crisis I guess she thought I invited her along to the meeting because of Destin. “Karla you have more of an understanding of chase then anyone here. How would you see him taking on the role of alpha to both packs”“Thats something you and chase need to discuss faith have you seriously called us all here to help you convince your mate to do as you wish?”“You have me all wrong Karla. Yes I do need some assistance from my beta because this while it involves my mate is a pack matter and I’m not a dictator and thought your input would be highly valuable and well I never do much with out Delilah now Leon too and I just so happened to bump in Marisha and Conrad no offence guys you are welcome here on the contrary. Yes it is between chase and I but it also involves our pack and I value your opinion Karla you know him better than I do I want to meet him half way”“Maybe you should be having
I appreciate my father and everyone who came here to explain what has happened to chase but I do not wish to be standing outside chases room I want to be by his side. I let everyone know I will be going back to chases side and will call a meeting with the vampire elders myself and chase when he wakes and is in good health to do so. Surprisingly everyone is so understanding and gives their well wishes to chase. I walk into the room and study his features as he lays there in a deep sleep. I step towards the bed and notice chases scent has slightly changed and I feel the pull to him tenfold. I lift the covers and slide into the bed next to him curling into chase while intertwining our hands. I don’t know when but I drift off into a peaceful sleep. I do not know where I am but it’s complete chaos there’s dead bodies littering the ground of all species the skies are dark grey and alpha Charles stands in front of me with a victorious grin. I look around my surroundings for any clue as to w
“You should know princess since I’ve accepted my fate as the child of light I have increased strength and powers and I do not plan to show your lover boy any form of mercy just so you know” Colton mindlinks looking directly at me and smirks at me with a shit eating grin. “So be it Colton I have believe in my MATE and I’m sure he can handle himself against you may the best man win”“Mate? I don’t see a mark on either of your necks but once I’ve finished him off I’m sure I could put one on your neck for you” I don’t know what it was about Colton’s words that had an ominous feeling rush through me. Like there was some hidden message within his words. I know chase can handle himself but I plan to hang around closely something is not sitting right with me and my intuition is always dead on. Both Colton and chase take their stances the gamma calls for a clean fair fight may the best win. Chase puts his hand out to Colton in good gestures before they fight but Colton refuses to shake his
