Jace waited for her to leave before he got up out of the bed. He didn’t want her to see him in his boxer shorts. That was the only way he could sleep. His body ran hot even before he made the change. He grabbed his phone and tried to call her. He mumbled to himself. “I could have just sent this in a text.” He tilted his head scratching near his ear. The call went to voicemail leaving him to send her a message. He wasn’t sure what she could have been doing but it was important that they talked. Jace sent her a message hoping she would call him soon. [Hey need 2 tlk asap]
He pulled on his pajama bottoms. Right when he grabbed for a shirt, his senses heightened. The smell of bacon wafted into his room. Corrine may have been annoying to every possible extent but she truly did know him. With his shirt in his hand, he left out of his room. There she was standing in his kitchen next to the stove, an apron tied around her waist. If he were remotely attracted to her, he would have sn
“I see. That’s a shame but I understand. We had already started getting her beyond perfect for you. In case you were wondering.”He thought about what she could possibly be wearing that would make her perfect for him. “Can I talk to her?”“Sure but she cant hold the phone. Would you be fine if we put it on speaker? I mean every girl in here will be able to hear you.”Just then he heard a small argument on the other end of the line. He wasn’t sure what was going on over there but then he heard her voice, her voice that made him want to be with her. “Hey! Ignore her. She’s just annoying.”He could feel his heartbeat racing in his chest. “You shouldn’t be mean to family.”“So, haven’t you heard? I’m a fortune teller? A gypsy? A shaman.”He chuckled earing her call herself a fortune teller. He had heard the rumors but chose to ignore them.
He knew what she was going to say before she even said the words. “Mom, if Corrine wanted me to join her, she wouldn’t have left me behind.”She raised her left eyebrow and folded her arms over her chest. “Jace, we will talk about this after the wedding.”“Yeah, mom afterwards.” He already had his plan to be gone before that even happened.She grabbed him by the arm and made him escort her inside. The two of them walked in the doors to see the rest of their pack standing around waiting for the ceremony to get underway. When they see their Luna coming in, with the future alpha they all greeted them with a smile. Jace tried to shy away from them. But one member clapped him on the back and grabbed his hand in a handshake. Ileana spoke in the soft tone she always did. “The ceremony will be starting we should shed our human façade now and be the wolves we are meant to be.”Jace kissed her on the chee
Jace had stayed long enough to see his sister get married. The guy wasn’t bad per say but not someone he would have wanted her to be with. The reception was underway with everyone dancing. Corrine stood off to the side watching as the others enjoyed themselves. Jace watched her, watching others and realized he should try to make amends.He walked over to her and bumped into her shoulder. “You still mad at me?”She tried to ignore him but he wouldn’t allow that to happen. He kept nudging her until she as angry enough to snap at him, “Stop you dummy.”“I got you to say something to me so who’s the dummy now?”“Still you.”He turned to face her and held out his hand. “Would you like to dance?”Corrine looked down at his hand then to his face. She sighed; she really couldn’t resist him. “Fine but you really should think about what you’re doing to me.&
Andi rolled her eyes at how Cynthia contradicted herself. Jace held his arm out for her to grasp. She was hesitant to loop her arm in his, instead she opted to walk next to him. Jace couldn’t help but to tease her. “You too good to hold my arm?”“No, I never gave you the impression that I liked you the way the other girls do.”He nodded his head and gave her a winning smile. “You say that now but I’ll make you so in love with me that you will want to touch me every chance that you get.”She raised her left eyebrow at him wondering where he got all that confidence from. “You certainly have a big head. Shouldn’t you focus your attention on the many women that want you already?”“If I wanted them, I would be out on a date with them and not you.”She turned away from him trying to hide the smile creeping onto her face. “I could have sworn I told you before flattery will
She let go of his hand not sure how to react to being talked to like that. If he knew she was the goddess of future fate, what would he do? It was strange though she couldn’t fully see his future or his death. Thinking that she wondered what he could be that would keep her from seeing his future. Andi looked at him, staring hard trying to see if there was any indicator that he was any different than a normal mortal.Jace tilted his head. The way she was gazing at him made him feel warm all over. It was as if she was undressing him with her eyes. “If you want to have a little bedtime fun then maybe the quarter isn’t where we should be.”She snapped out of her musing. “Talking about having sex with me will get you punched.”“You won’t punch me. besides I maybe a gentleman but I will not let anyone but their hands on me unless its intimately.”She had watched enough mortals to know when to switch up and c
Andi stopped in front of a clothing store that was just about to close. The name of the store was Illusion. There were clothing she wanted to try on, fall like colors. She was so absorbed in a red plaid skirt when she heard a voice behind her. “You’d look good in anything.” Turning around she seen Jace was there.He spoke again, “With your beautiful skin tone you would look good in anything.”“Yeah, that’s a lie. I’ll stick with my blacks and purples.”Jace grabbed her hand and pulled her inside the store. The clerk looked up upon hearing the bell ringing. They both could see the annoyance written on her face. Jace quickly gave a winning smile. “We won’t be but ten minutes. Swear.”Andi could see how the woman just melted under his stare. She could have sworn she felt something similar from that gaze but let it go. He then grabbed the red plaid skirt and a soft yellow orange shirt. He
Andi had only been outside for a few minutes before a strange guy walked up placing his arm around her neck. He pulled her away from the store. “How are you doing beautiful?”“Umm why are you …”The guy interrupted her before she could say anything. He spoke in a low voice. “Just play along, please? A group of guys have been following me and I’m honestly a little scared right now. Just please pretend I’m a friend.”Andi could hear the terror in his voice and decided to go along with it. She looked behind her to see a group of suspicious men following them. “I think I see them. I’m sorry that you’re in this situation.”“Thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me. My boyfriend was late and I think those guys are homophobic.”Andi wanted to do what she thought was right for him. She hadn’t thought to let Jace know that something had happened and
Her body was hunched over, she relied on a wooden cane that had intricate patterns on it. The woman Andi presumed to be Madame Mirage spoke in a scratchy voice. “Bienvenu mezanmi. You wish to have your fortune told?”Andi made quick work of going to take the woman’s hand. She had hoped her silent plea would reach her ears. “Yes, this guy wants his future revealed to him. I would do it myself but I was out on a date with a friend.”“AH a kindred sister. I felt a pull when I was in the back. Come, come.” She motioned for the man to follow her to the round table with a crystal ball sitting in the center. The three of them could see their reflections in the ball. Andi sat back hoping to reach out to Jace through her phone. Her head was down as she tried to send him a message.When she sat back in her seat the ball started to cloud over as the guy continued to stare into it. Madam Mirage waved her hand around the ball. &ldquo
“Then if I scared you, you should make me angry.”He adjusted himself so that he was sitting on the sofa properly. “Or you can work on your temper.”“Do you know anything about me? History was correct about my personality.”“Yes, you were the unyielding one. The one that ends the lives of man. I know this. Why are you bringing this up?”“Because even if we try to act as if we are the same, we are far from it. I’m a deity. You are something I can’t place just yet.”Hearing her say that made him stiffen. He hadn’t expected her to have an inkling about him at all. He laughed nervously. “You’re funny. I’m just a normal person.”“Yeah, you see I watched movies during my time here before the rest came to join us. Only those that aren’t what they truly are say they are normal people.”“That’s just movie magic.&r
Jacqueline wasn’t sure if she should say anything else or let her brother be. If that strange girl was his girlfriend, then where did that leave Corrine? She looked down at the sleeping wolf, then covered her with the blanket. “Sleep well little brother. I’ll talk to you in the morning.”“Yeah, yeah.” He yawned, while walking away. Part of him wanted to check on Andi once again but decided against it.Jacqueline sat next to the table. Corrine hadn’t stirred yet. She waited to see when Corrine would take a breath. It felt like an eternity had taken place before she seen the rise and fall of her chest. Jacqueline breathed out in relief. “I can’t imagine how hurt you feel to know that the one you believe to be fated to has someone else. Even if Jace isn’t your mate, the perfect one will come and steal your breath away.”Corrine opened her eyes then. She was still in her wolf form but the sorrow was c

His presence seemed to calm her enough to cause the rage building inside of her to dissipate. The wolf in the back seat was too lethargic to know what was going on but even her fur stood on ends from the aura permeating around them. Andi wanted to reveal herself but with Jace holding on to her she kept herself from doing anything. “Please return to your vehicles and think wisely on your life choices.”Jacqueline got out of her car and walked cautiously to Jace’s the wolf was one she was sure she recognized. Her once calm and serene face twisted into a scowl.The police got back into their vehicles, driving off in a slight daze. Jace turned her around to face him, lost in the sight of her eyes going from pure black to white with brown iris. He moved his head back in shock. “So, that’s something.”Andi covered her face, partially hating that he seen her that way. Jacqueline got the wolf out of the car and into his house. The who
Andi kept turning her head back to check that the wolf was still breathing. Her nerves were on edge, this was a first for her. Human emotions were something she never had to deal with before in her life, not in this way. “Andi? Are you driving yet?”She knew he wanted her to answer him but seeing that big and oddly beautiful creature laying in the backseat with its life slowly ebbing away she couldn’t say anything. Jace called out to her again, hoping to get her attention. “Andi? Answer me. You need to start moving if we’re going to keep the wolf from being dying.”The word dying snapped her out of her daze. “Yeah, you’re right. Her death isn’t supposed to happen right now.”Jace was startled by her words, “Her? what do you mean?”Andi started the car and tried to focus on what he had told her before; she got the car moving again. “I may not deal with the death of animals but I
“That’s fine. Look at my keys and get the one that looks different.” “Ok.” She held the keys up to the burgeoning light. She seen the one with a different handle on it. “How did you get inside? These look like house keys too.” “I have a spare. Go ahead and stick it into the slit on the side of the steering wheel.” “Right.” She stuck it in the turned it forward, the car roared to life. Jace could hear the car humming in the background. “Great. Now if you look to you right there’s going to be the gear shift, a handle so to speak. Do you see it?” “Yes. I have my hand on it now.” She placed her hand on the stick. She tried to move it but it wouldn’t move. “Jace it won’t move.” “It won’t. Just wait. In order to get it to move take you right foot and place it forward. You’ll feel two different peddles. Do you feel them?” She moved her foot forward and touched on one. It caused the car to rev up. She removed her foot. “I found one.” S
“Different how? Atropos what have you done?” It was Cleo that spoke up. She couldn’t believe the one deemed “inflexible” to be swayed by a man. “Have you learned nothing from the countless women that sold their souls for a stupid man? You’re really saying that he’s different?” Lachesis eyes widen at the way she spoke to their sister. She started to speak up when Atropos squared her shoulders. It was a sign; it was the beginning of a fight. Lachesis didn’t want to be there anymore. Just as she was starting to move, Atropos held her hand up. “Are you really questioning me Clotho?” “I-I’m not. It’s just that you’re acting like an idiot. How can we trust him?” Atropos crossed her arms over her chest. Tilting her head, you could see the annoyance festering in her eyes. “Are you done? Because if you want to continue to ATTEMPT to treat me as if I am an idiot then the conversation can be over and I will not confide in either of you.” The two sisters looked a
Jace reached the ceremonial grounds once again. He looked to see majority of them still in their wolf form only to see his mother and a few around her. He made a beeline towards her. She sensed the presence of her son coming up to her. She gave him a smile, happy that he had returned. “You’re back.” “Yeah, I heard something had happened to you. Are you alright?” “I’m fine just had a bit of a fainting spell. I’ll be right as the moon soon.” He wilted from the tension that was released from his body. “I thought it was something serious.” “I’m fine my boy. No need to worry about me. it’s not like I was attacked and killed by a rival clan.” Jace hugged her and sat next to her for the time being. Corrine seen that he had made it. she was wondering if he ran here or took his car. She lifted her nose to the air, smelling his scent. It was mixed with sweat, letting her know that he had ran all the way there. She took that chance to come over to him. “
Jace finally pulled himself together. Even though they were gods right at the moment they were still people. Just very old people. Ancient in fact. The thought that they at some point seen him in the nude made him begin to panic again. His breathing be labored and erratic. Andi could feel something changing in the atmosphere. She opened her eyes to see Jace sitting there with his hands on the wheel breathing heavily. Snapping to attention she became worried about him. “Are you alright?” He didn’t answer her. His eyes were staring straight into the darkness. It was worrying her. she tried to get him to talk to her again. “Seriously Jace are you alright?” He answered her, although his voice was barely above a whisper. “Yes… No!” Hearing his voice made her calm down enough to assess the situation. “Do you want to talk about it?” “it’s just hitting me that I’m bringing the fates together. Literally the FATES! You can imagine that I’m in a state of panic.”
