My eyes followed his movement as he came in, his dominant vibes encumbering the entire space. Suddenly my heart was hammering against my chest long after he surfaced in front of me. There was this new aura around him like I was just meeting him for the first time and encountering it.
“Hey, Kittie” he cooed at me.
I slowly raised my eyes to meet his. I've missed him. Missed that voice and missed his closeness. I didn't know what possessed me but in the next second, my arms were wrapped around him and my head on his neck, my body flattened against him.
I closed my eyes and inhaled that intoxicating fragrance that undulates my insides. “I'm sorry about everything. Please, don't ever hide away from me ever again!” I mumbled. The feeling of his hand wrapped around mine was all I needed to melt more into him.
“It's okay, I'm sorry too. Just that, pack activities have been overwhelming. I'm sorry I neglected your
Kimberly POVThe woman's eyes suddenly snapped up from her bent position and landed on me. My back strengthened and I tucked in air shrinking into myself. Did she hear my question?I looked at the woman close to me, she wasn't moving. It was as though she has been sucked into the woman's gaze and wasn't able to move again or do anything.“What is going on?” I asked her in a hushed time. She didn't say anything. I took my first step away from her back to Sandy. I reached there in wobble legs to discover she had laid down and was deep in sleep. Could this night grow any worse?I tried as much as possible not to look in the woman's direction. My heart was blasting with fear. If Leo could read my mind can he feel how scared I am right now?I sat down in the little space Sandy could afford me and looked down only feet. God, please don't let her do anything.Goosebumps shot through my flesh connoting ah was either coming or she was sti
Kimberly POVWe were there for a long time talking about everything mostly about Nora’s powers. She didn't want to tell us a lot of things that we understood where because she wouldn't want to incur the wrath of her brother. I have seen it firsthand how he punished her so I didn't want to prob.When we all got apps and needed our recourse, she had pointed us to different bedrooms to retire for the night and told us she was going to go back and make sure that everything is settled before she joins us. She was very responsive to the pack. It excites me making me want to be bold and be a part of something just like her.I couldn't sleep. I lay in bed thinking of my revelation. About the lady, I was speaking to when the kids cried, about the strange priest, and mostly about the ritual. What could it mean and why would they want to take my life? Is that a direct trance or was it a message to be passed somehow?Mum used to tell me, sometimes, the way we d
Have I screamed like that before? No. That was the answer to the heart-wrenching shriek that resonated in the building as I heard the voice.“Rosaline!”I jerked up and whipped my eyes about the room and just like in the arena, tough beads of sweat trickled down my skin in waves.I felt a hand at me and jumped away with a yelp.I met the worried eyes of Leo and jumped back into his arms, burying my face in his chest “Tell me I'm not going crazy” I cried.“You are not my love”“This is too much. I don't think I can do this. I can't. I keep seeing things and now I'm dreaming stuff”“It’s alright my dear. I promise you would be fine” he whispered and stroked my back.I sniffled “This one was more hideous. I was lonely and so afraid. I called out to you but you weren't there. Then__”“Shush. Don't worry to tell me if it would make you think a
Kimberly POVAfter Adrian gave me the bad eye and took away Sandy, I had sat there for some time in thought while taking a drink I got from the lounge bar before I made my way upstairs to meet Leonard. He had his head buried in the laptop but had stood to help me wear my nightie which I found very adorable and caring of him.I lay in bed wishing for sleep to come forth when his voice penetrated my thought "Tomorrow evening we would be going to the woods. Just you and I"That got my attention."You want us to go to the woods together?""Yea, you don't want that?""Of course I do!" If he wanted us to go to the woods it meant only one thing. He wanted to shift for me to see him!"Why is it important to you?" he asked coming close to hold me around the waist."It is very important. Nora told me mates see each other shift. Since I can't, at least I should see you do. I've only seen Nora shift and Sandy had seen Adrian"
Kimberly POVGetting to the house, the sight that met me wasn't what I was expecting. It was already evening and the atmosphere looked warm and settled. Dense air hovered over us as the birds flew back to their settlements.Walking into the house with Nora, sitting on one of the couches was someone that looked vaguely familiar to me, and yet I couldn't place my mind where I'd met her before."That's the priest" Nora mumbled, my eyes widened. The woman that made me go into a trance.I shifted back consciously in fear.Nora left me after acknowledging the woman and ran upstairs.I heard she is a very powerful witch and a healer. She has lived for many years as the sire of the clan and their healer. Even with ordothox medicine on trend, she had refused to adjust to modernity but rather improved on her abilities.Leonard came to me and led me forward. "Relax she is a very nice person. She is just like us. I don't know what you have going throug
He slowly raised up his head to look at me, driving shots of adrenaline rocking through my pores. He is magnificent!Is he going to attack me?I unconsciously staggered back at his intent scrutiny, my chest heaving rapidly. His huge paws made the first leap forward. I stiffened and balled my fist, goosebumps ripping through my body.I closed my eyes not wanting to watch him rip me apart. I wasn't strong enough, was the only thing that reigned through my mind. Cold sweat was trickling down my body as I envision how I'm going to die in a bush with no one to save me.I paused. Why is he not yet tearing me apart? I waited my eyes still strung close. Suddenly I felt the furry touch close to my dress and slowly willed my eyes open. He was looking up at me and if I didn't know better, I would think the wolf was smiling.Instinctively I reached out and ran my hand through the slinky furs. It whimpered and tilted its head upwards closing its eyes. I finally let mysel
"What have you done? You have no right to interfere in my love life!" Nora yelled. I was almost at the door but I could hear even from the stair.I hope they don't perceive my scent."Nora, he is not good for you. He had vile plans, I told you" Leo seemed calm. That's good."If there was anyone supposed to act on that it should be me! You have your mate why won't you mind your business?! You are my brother, not my fucken father!" he doesn't say anything."I want to go back to school...I can't bear you right now. You always think about yourself. What about me and how I feel?!" she was crying that I know for sure. I felt very bad and wish I could reach out to her."Nora, I'm your brother and the only father you know and may forever know. I have to protect you even if it sometimes has to go against your wants. You know__"" Don't say that! You pretend not to be like them. You promised Leo! But you act like them in every way. You are becoming tyrannical and
Kimberly POVI waited till Adrina left the room before I went to meet Leo."Babe, is everything alright?" he asked, in concern.I nodded and went to sit in front of him."I'm fine. I just wanted to speak to you about your sister""It's already late babe. And besides what is wrong with her is she okay?""Yes, you know what I'm talking about"He shrugged and stood, picking up the bottle of a brown drunk which he went to replace in the bar with the glass.He came back and took my hand "Let's retire for the night"I didn't say anything but followed him. When we were in our bedroom, I stood my ground in front of him. " If you love someone and you feel you want to care for them, you don't make decisions for them especially matters that concerns the heart. That was very unkind of you"He pinched his nose and raked his hand through his hair "Kittie, can we not do this tonight? Please" I waited "You just bumped into me trying to p
