“I think you should come with me,” Grace said to me after a moment.“What?” I asked with a frown.“You need to rest Daisy and it would be best if you would come with me and rest at the pack house instead of this makeshift camp,” she explained, concern etched on her face.“I can’t leave them behind. Without my power, they won’t be able to handle the souls. We were lucky that we only encountered the soul of a little girl who was easy to manipulate. What if we encountered a soul who would be so corrupted that nobody might be able to handle it? I can’t take that risk nor can you afford it.” I said.My voice was filled with determination. I knew that Grace was worried about my health and this going back home talk was coming from her heart, not from her mind.“I understand your concern, Daisy and I know whatever you are saying is indeed correct but what good could you do if you are not in your best health? You will only be a liability here not a strength. Just think about this,” Grace said.
“Daisy,” Mason looked at me with a stupefied expression.“Carry on, don’t want to disturb you from…whatever it is.” I looked at him and then the embarr*ssed Omega.She looked meekly around as if I had seen her stealing something.I huffed in frustration.Michael came into view as he came from the other side. I had seen him in the pack earlier too. He was a great soldier and very good-looking too. My eyes gleamed with ideas and a small smirk graced my face.“Don’t,” Grace warned me and I gave her an indifferent look.“I am not doing anything,” I said and sauntered toward Michael, his brow raised at my face. He knew what I was up to.“You are back,” He said.“Why, did you miss me,” I smiled at him and he chuckled as his eyes wandered at something behind me.He shook his head at me and lowered his head to whisper something in my ear.“I am not falling for the trick,” he said softly and a heavy growl came from behind.Without another look, I headed back to my room. I came here for a rest
“You don’t have to leave right now,” Mason mumbled as I ate my food and prepared to leave.“That’s the problem I have to," I replied nonchalantly.“Are you going to miss me?” he asked me, his gazes focused on mine.“I don’t know, are you?” I smirked at him and my mood soured as the same Omega entered the dining hall and served him food with a shy smile.“Last night you were way too brutal with me, I couldn’t sleep at all. My whole body is sore and aching.” I said sweetly and fluttered my eyelashes at him and he choked up on his food.“Wha..what?” he sputtered.“Don’t act like you don’t know anything,” my voice was soft and then I turned toward the omega whose face was flushed and she was looking like she was moments away from combusting from embarr*ssment.“He was a beast last night in bed,” I uttered softly.The Omega’s whole face turned red and there was something else on her face, maybe hurt. My heart clenched uncomfortable thinking about it, but I couldn’t erase the image of her s
“What are you saying Dad, I am not able to understand anything. Lizzie became a ghost and she is tied to Morax? What does this even mean?” I asked him.My emotions were running high and this revelation was no less than a shock to me. Lizzie was a powerful witch and now that she had turned into a ghost, there was no doubt that she would become one vengeful spirit.Her black magic would fuel her rage and this would only prove to go against us. We need to do something about her.“Yes, it seems that somehow when Lizzie and Emma fled the council guards, Morax caught her and killed her. This is the only explanation I can make out after my battle with Lizzie’s soul. She has become very powerful and if we didn’t do anything she would become more powerful.” Dad explained.“But why would Morax want to bind Lizzie’s soul with him? Lizzie was a powerful witch and Morax should have known that turning her into a ghost would make her more powerful and unhinged. It might be possible that she would at
“Yes, she was my mate. Why are you so surprised?” Dad asked with a chuckle, his face again had his glow, his red eyes gleamed like ruby and the moonlight was making him look like an ethereal being.“But you both were two different species. How can a witch find a mate in a demon? This is ridiculous.” I frowned at him, thinking that he was just playing with me.“Ahh, your logic. Yes, it’s true that one finds his or her mate in his or her species, but sometimes in one in a million, one can find the mate in a different world too. It’s nothing but a miracle.” he explained.“Duh, you are playing with me, right? You think it’s a joke.” I huffed in frustration.“No, I am not joking or trying to play you. It’s the truth. Your mate is nothing but a part of your soul. And the part of your soul can be born anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to be the same species.” he said as he patted my head, lovingly.“So, that…means that I can also have a mate outside the witch or demon community,” I whis
“Leave it, Ryan, she learned her lesson, she won’t tease you anymore.” Dad sighed as if he was back in father mode and trying to justify my mistakes.I whirled around and saw that he was the same werewolf warrior whom I almost fought when my power overtook my senses.His eyes gleamed, his wolf on the surface. It was clear that he heard me and was now here to make me realize that I had underestimated him, and maybe I did.“Yes, I don’t mean any harm. You can rest and chill.” I said lazily, aware of his anger toward me.“You make rash statements and that one day will give you trouble,” he replied, looking at me haughtily.“Indeed,” I smiled at him sweetly, clearly aware of the fact this would only make him more angry.“Kids these days think more from their hearts than minds. This anger is only useful in battle, not against your own people. Daisy, Ryan, break it off. We need to clear more areas, now that you are back. There is no more waiting. First thing in the morning we are moving. Ry
The low hum of voices filled the dimly lit meeting hall as I sat at the head of the long, oak table, flanked by Xander and the elders of the Pack. The air was thick with tension, the weight of impending danger looming over us like a storm cloud. We were in the midst of a crucial meeting about the surging rogue activity on our borders.My head was pounding from all the thoughts and amidst this chaos my satellite phone rang, alerting me, Xander caught my eye and I excused myself from the table and stepped into the shadows, my fingers tightening around the phone as I pressed it to my ear.“Grace,” Rober said from the other side, his voice tight with tension."Robert, what's going on?" I demanded, my tone edged with concern."Grace," his voice crackled through the line, urgency evident, "we've located Morax's lair. We need your help to find the entrance and attack them."My jaw clenched at the news. Morax, Lizzie’s master, whom we had been hunting for months, was finally within reach. I g
I see the retreating figures of the warriors and something about this departure tugs at my heart. On one hand, I do believe that we all will be able to defeat Morax and on the other I feel that he would triumph over us, snatching our victory from my hands.The dilemma was nerve-racking and my pregnancy hormones were doing me little good. They were making me cranky.The weight of the responsibility was weighing heavily on my shoulders and Morax's cruelty was just another boulder on my shoulders. I heaved a defeated sigh but Xander was there by my side.“Everything’s going to be alright,” he whispered, as his eyes lingered on the departing figures. I knew he was also worried about his friend.“I am sorry, I didn’t want to send Mason but he insisted,” I explained.He took my hand in his and squeezed to give a reaffirmation that everything was okay.“He is a soldier, Gracie, he can take care of himself. And even if you had tried to stop him from leaving he would have not listened to you.
