"You're not a sorcerer?" I ask with surprise "But Martha said you are, and she would never lie to me!" "Yes, but my young cousin is always getting things mixed up. I'm a witch, not a sorcerer. There's a difference between the two"Oh, you're a witch!? - Wait, did you just say your young cousin? That must be a slip of tongue, you meant to say older cousin, didn't you?" She chuckles "What do you think? Am I the older or younger cousin?""Isn't that obvious enough?""Yes, it is. It must have been a slip of tongue then" It must have been a slip of tongue or it is a slip of tongue? I wonder. She certainly sounds like she's teasing me which is surprising since I've never heard anyone say good things about witches. I heard they make use of magic or supernatural powers to harm or manipulate others into doing their will. "I'm sorry but aren't witches supposed to be... You know... I thought witches are evil! I heard they sacrifice innocent people especially kids for their own wicked deeds
No matter what I say to Lilly, she continues with what she's saying as if she can't hear me talk. Like I'm not even there in the room with her. 'Help me or leave me the fuck alone! How difficult is that!?' I wonder to myself in annoyance. Even though she's starting to piss me off, I manage to keep my temper in check, watching as she drone on and on to the invincible goddess she's speaking to."I can only help prepare her body for you goddess..." she finished saying while looking straight into my eyes."You're crazy!" I shout and wrench my hands away from hers. "You're an obvious candidate for the loony bin and should be urgently admitted to one! I'm leaving right now!" I say and immediately turn to leave. She has successfully driven me to the point of frustration, I just hope my leaving won't upset Martha."Wait!... Please!" She stops me again with her hand holding firmly to my arm. I try to wrench my arm away from her but her grip is too strong. She's certainly stronger than the fra
"What did he want her for?" Ethan firmly demands from the bastard that came to deliver the Beta's message, his voice, hard and threatening. But instead of him answering, he raises an eyebrow and laughs."You've also gotten bitten by the Omega's poisonous bug, eh? If you want to know what he wants her for then I'll suggest you don't ask me, go to him. He's your father after all..." He wink at me when he finish talking "I'll see you around Omega!" He says before he leavesI am angry and barely holding on to my wolf. I can literally feel her clawing at the door of my mind, begging to be let out and guts my abuser. Even though I want to give in to my wolf since I hate breathing the same air as this son of a bitch, I still hold on tightly so I don't lose control of her. At least not at the moment when I don't know if I'm in trouble or not.I didn't realize I was just staring into space until Ethan's voice brought me back…"C'mon let's go! I'll go with you." "Who is that guy? For how l
An awkward silence followed my words probably because they know I'm right. Who would believe me if I had reported the Gamma chief? Who among them would listen to me? Will I even have the guts to stand before any of them and report a whole council member?"How would you know if anyone would believe you when you never even attempt to report your situation? Or are you deliberately trying to make me look bad right in front of the Alpha?" The Beta ask'Oh, fucking hell!' I swear softly to myself. I already know I'm in trouble the moment I open my mouth to say nobody would believe me. Now he's going to put all the blame on me while guilt-tripping me in the process."You may leave" I hear the Alpha say and I nearly jump up with joy. I immediately turn to leave but the Beta's voice stops me dead in my tracks"But I'm not done with her..." "We're done with her for now, Hank. We'll call her back for further questioning if ever we have any!" The Alpha replies firmly and I hurriedly walk to the
Thor's POV"General, your father is here to see you." Henrik, my most trusted Captain back in Denmark, entered my office to say.I look up from the file I'm working on toward the clock hanging on the wall opposite my desk and see it's exactly ten hours after we arrived back in Los Angeles. I know the old wolf would investigate where I'm staying and come find me since I refused to go with the person he sent to pick me up at the airportWhy would I stay at the house my father prepared for me when I already bought my own mansion and made sure it was made ready for us before we arrive. I also brought along with me my staff since I don't intend to trust anybody that comes from my father's pack"I kinda knew he would come but I never knew it would be this early," I say to Henrik, returning my attention to the file I was working on. "You can tell him I won't be able to see him right now because I'm still jet-lagged and having difficulty adjusting to the new time zone." "He already said h
Flame's POV"The Viking warrior who drank beer from the skulls of those he had killed!" I repeated what Martha said with trepidation and excitement. I don't know this Viking warrior but at the mere mention of his name, my heart started beating hard against my ribcage and I began to feel a strange but sweet throbbing sensation that I couldn't explain in between my thighs"But did he really do that? Did he really drink out of dead people's skulls" I ask Martha in awe. I can't hide how terrified I am of this Viking warrior from Martha but I try as much as possible not to let my strange excitement for the warrior that she described as a monster show so she wouldn't think I've gone crazy"Well, I know for a fact that his mother came from a long line of Viking warriors since she told me herself during those days that I worked with the Alpha. As for drinking beer from the skulls of those he had killed?... I wouldn't confirm that information as fact since it wasn't done in my presence."Why
We all follow behind as my dad's stretcher is being wheeled toward the emergency room. They stop us at the door, of course, that's as far as we're allowed to go. I am restless and couldn't sit still. Pacing the length and breadth of the limited space in front of the emergency room. I can't help but think about how he has lost so much color. How he now looks much older than his usual robust self. I just pray the doctors will be able to repair whatever damage the silver bullet might have done to his internal organ before it's too lateI hear footsteps coming down the hall and I look up to find the Alpha and Beta of the Night Howlers pack coming toward us. He's about my dad's age and also one of the strongest Alpha in North America but this is the f irst time I'm meeting him in person, I'm sure Justine would have met him on several occasions during council meetings and pack businesses. I'm the bastard son after all. I walk toward them to meet them halfway"Alpha..." I say and bow my he
Ash's POVAs soon as the driver that brought us left, Martha immediately started to dish out instructions. When she's done telling me what to do, she goes to the kitchen area to start the cooking while I find my way to the hall closet to get some bedding before taking them upstairs.I'm still cleaning the first room when I hear her shout out my name. My heart sinks out of fear since I thought maybe she fell or something. So I rushed out of the room preparing for the worst. I breathe a sigh of relief when I find her standing at the foot of the stairs looking well but madder than a wet hen with her coat back on and her walking stick in hand."Where are you going?" I ask as I walk down the stairs to meet her"This is the twenty-first century, Ash! You really need a phone! We need to get you one as soon as possible! You made me scream like a banshee when I could have just called your phone!" She says in her sharp southern twang all the while tapping her walking stick on the floor"Yes,
