Heart of the Bayou Rougarou Rising 2 Chapter 13
BriWhen we reached the parking lot of the small school, Bas threw his graduation cape over his shoulders and began fumbling with his tie. I took it from him and walked him through the steps as I tied it for him, just as my father had taught me. Why he taught me such a thing, I didn’t know, but right now I was glad for it. He leaned down and kissed my cheek. “Thanks, Mama,” he whispered before he took off to take his place. I stood stunned at the sentiment he offered me of all people. Even Wyatt and Beau paused with me before they guided me into a random spot on the bleachers. We didn’t comment on what Bas said, but my chest radiated warmth and longing. I saw Zoey and Trent eyeing the proceeds from down below and Boo sat dutifully at my feet. We sat through the ceremony in alphabetic order. With each name called the faster my foot tapped in anticipation and the closer Beau and Wyatt seemed to curl closer into me as we awaited Bastian’s name. When they called his name we all stood, ye

BriMy mind had raced since the encounter but the moment I’d stepped foot on the island the core within me had settled and the magic sang as it coursed relentlessly in my veins. Though I couldn’t get the girl’s eyes out of my mind, the act of making dinner relaxed me, allowing the fog I hadn’t realized I’d been carrying with me to ease. Out in the open with so many people there wasn’t much any of us could do. I’d bring it up after, well, everything else.Zoey and Trent sat at the kitchen table and Wyatt and Beau stood at my beck and call. Yet I moved through the kitchen, all eyes upon me not missing a beat as the heavy silence made the room suffocating for the rest.“I wouldn’t have believed it if I wasn’t seeing it with my own eyes,” Trent mused. Breaking the silence. I peered over my shoulder.“You should think before you ever doubt me,” I said, rolling my eyes. Wyatt’s and Beau’s brows raised.“They didn’t believe I could cook,” I let them know. They snorted in response.“Bri cooks

Chapter 15BriWe watched Zoey and Trent leave with a boat and I shook my head, she left me with no vices to get through this with them. In her mind, there was only succeeding. I felt that deep down though they had expressed their love I didn’t feel like I deserved it. We had piles of shit to weed through until I could allow them to make the final call but I caved once. Could I maintain the cage over my soul with the bond alive and in such close proximity? I was a ticking time bomb of spreading my legs and begging them to bite me. I didn’t know what to think of myself, or what they expected of me after a year. It had taken us so long to get to the point of intimacy and we hadn’t been together physically in over a year. I suppose honesty was the best policy. I had secrets that haunted me, I wasn’t the same woman who they left in New Orleans.I turned and walked inside, they trailed me and we all stood silent for a moment. I found myself fiddling with the folds of my dress, then I remem

BriWyatt and Beau chose to sit on the couch, leaving me space between them but I chose the old armchair that sat across from them. Where to start? I suppose the beginning would be best.“The day I sent you away, I knew what had happened shortly after I woke, our hearts, synced together. I sent you away knowing if you stayed any longer, if I told you, you would have solidified the bond and I couldn’t risk that, risk you and the boys not with the turmoil I knew the next months would wield. I felt the tether between us and though you accepted me the bonds were incomplete. As the central bond, I felt every feeling that spilled through you as if it were mine. When you exited New Orleans, My Chi exploded in a rage and agony at my betrayal of you and burnt my room to ash, the only remnants that remained were pieces of you. The clothes I kept, the bags we brought, the bed. If not for Zoey, I may have ignited the entire city.” I paused blinking back tears. “I could have killed everyone.”Wyat

BeauI meant what I told Wyatt, I had blamed him, where it wasn’t due. Right now all that mattered was her. Her healing, her working through everything she had suppressed alone without us over the last several months. She needed both of us and we had to be united together before she accepted us as hers fully. She had stripped herself before us admitting her guilt, and when her light had flooded me all I could remember was my love for her, for my brother, for our family. I had fallen to my knees and wept over her letter, over the life she wanted… with us. I had been such a stupid man and in the end, none of my bullshit mattered. My foul moods my victims at the underground fights or bars. I'd become a completely different animal. Not the man she knew, the man she loved. I should have known my woman, I'd been such a couyon, this last year being angry at the world she loved. It had just been too dim without her in it to see clearly. She'd been trying to protect her joy and I’d just said

BeauI was feeding the chickens when I stopped dead in my tracks and Sug stepped out the house's back door in that red dress and alligator boots. My mind circled back to the night she accepted us both as hers“Fuck me,” I groaned and she chuckled. Oh Henry, striding past the feed to greet her. She scooped up the vile bird and stroked his plumage. She laughed lightly at the look on my face.“I see you two are still on each other's bad list, she commented before setting him down amongst the flock. Her eyes scanned the birds a soft smile playing on her pouty lips.“I see regardless they have been well cared for,” she said grinning. It was a far cry from the utter devastation she had presented us last night. A glimmer of the Bri I knew shone back at me.“I figured you’d skin me alive if we didn’t,” I joked“You are not wrong,” she teased back. I stepped up to her.“You're trying to test my self-control in that dress,” I accused.“Blame your Alpha, he suggested it,” she grinned. Go figure,

BriTwo nights until the full moon and I stood staring at the stars. Beau walked up behind me enveloping me in his thick arms. I wore the loose dress I came in, my hair wound up into a colorful scarf. The steps Wyatt required me to take were odd in a way. He wanted Beau and I to tie together first. I wanted to gain the strength of the wolf before I mingled with The Beast and became Luna. It wasn’t what I had envisioned but there was no deviating from his plan, when I asked why we couldn’t just do it all together he referred to Mela and Jolene. He was scared, they hadn’t touched me more than intimate caresses, or trailing hands when kissing. I was already dying without them but he refused to simply link without “the safety” put in place.They knew the possibilities of linking with the wolf. How I may change or not. Would the goddess bless me with a wolf myself? Either way linking with Beau would make me stronger and he wanted me to have that strength before coupling with the unknown po

BriI stood in the kitchen making breakfast, Beau's shadow coming up from behind. His arms encircled me as contentment hummed throughout the fibers of my being. I felt different, lighter, something brewed inside me causing my senses to overload. My sight would suddenly sharpen, my sense of smell drawing me to experience the world differently. I moved the andouille and potatoes around in the pan. Beau kissed my almost healing mark that tied us together, and the sensations shot straight to my core.Since our claiming we’d both been flooded by specters of our former lives within our dreams. Different faces, different skins and yet my feelings for him were always the same. A pure love that had been earned and tried with the tribulations of life and the beauty of what lay within.His hands skimmed up and down my hips as Wyatt came through the front door. He’d avoided us the last two days and both men's lips rose up curling as their canines elongated. Their animals snarling within them. At

Wyatt“This is risky,” I said. I could feel Beau as he glanced around at the people who passed by taking in everything they were giving off. Bri however was a different animal. She didn’t give one fuck what anyone thought. I knew the look of the haze coming over her. Fuck this is why I didn’t want her out in the open. She rubbed her ass into Beau, her head falling back into his shoulder. Shit. Beau’s eyes met mine and I motioned him to the sparse woods to the side of the grocery. Whatever we did would have to be covert and quick. I felt eyes on us and cursed as we gilded her away from prying eyes but one set was sure to watch every detail. Kay, she hadn’t made an advance on Beau since Bri intercepted her. She’d been different since Bri made her humble. She was stalking us now and when Beau made to stop I pushed him further into the trees with her. Bri needed release and I sent them back without me and turned to face Kay.“What are you doing?” I asked her. She couldn’t find words.“Wh

BriI was dozing comfortably, surrounded by our mingling scents when some sort of awareness woke in my mind. I sat up stretching my senses out and found someone foreign passing the territory lines. The wolf and I growled as one in my mind. I began searching for some sort of clothing. Boy shorts it was and one of the guys button-downs that I had taken to New Orleans with me. I didn’t even bother to button it. Thank Goddess for Zoey bringing a bag with her the last time or I’d have nothing to wear not that I minded being naked. But for the boys' sake and whomever was showing up on our doorstep I wasn’t giving them a free show.“Bri, someone is coming,” Wyatt’s voice echoed in my mind. The sound of a boat approaching the dock had my full attention.“They’re already here,” I growled in return.“Shit.”“Maybe it’s Mabel?” I offered..“I don’t think so. Stay inside.” His voice was strained and distraught. A knock came at the door and I stood stock still in the hallway outside Beau’s bedroom

BeauWe took turns ‘entertaining’ Bri. Right now I was pumping into her hot and heavy from behind. She’d finally gotten control of her claws but I had her hands in my grip behind her back with one hand just in case they decided to appear. The position was intriguing forcing her chest into the bed. Her glorious ass high in the air. She’d been insatiable and we willingly and happily kept her fulfilled so she wouldn’t fall back into the fever. She was acting strange though, she looked at us every once and a while like she was studying something new. She said everything looked different sometimes. She’d been fun in bed before but now once in a while the wildness overtook her and our mate was that much more enticing. We’d ended up here after she snatched the book I was reading forcing me to chase her around the house with her newfound speed. She was graceful and agile before. Now her strength grew each day. She was a moaning whimpering mess before me now and was all the more beautiful fo

BastianThere’s nothing like being an errand boy on your first day on the job. Conner scowled at the letter pulling at his chin hairs.“She’s really sick? Or does she just want your cousins to herself?” he asked, narrowing his eyes at me.“To be honest she gave us a scare, and she's been bedridden for days.” it wasn’t a lie per se but the real explanation I didn’t have. All I knew was the house stunk of sex and she had most definitely given Wyatt and Beau the scare of their lives. They said she was changing, but they weren’t sure exactly how. She’d already become a wolf, what other changes could there be? Witchy stuff I presumed. Something along the lines of what happened to her after breaking the curse or how she floated into our territory unconscious and completely changed our lives for the better. So I’d overlook her— ‘faults.’“I suppose it’s none of my business, just do me a favor and stay away from the troublemakers or she will have my head. I didn’t know what kind of trouble he

BriFire and ice, Ice and fire. I needed more, more of them. Their skin to mine, our hearts, and souls connected. Together. Our love overpouring in a requiem of emotion and carnal sensations. I yearned for the feel of them, our energy— a melody to our souls. The older woman had come. She had entered my mind creating a pocket of calm that drew me in.“I see you have finally seen sense Mother Moon, but your stubbornness comes with a price — I’m sure they are more than willing to pay it. Welcome to being fully ascended,” the old woman said. “A price?”“The haze is what your people call it. Can’t you feel it?” she asked. I didnt know what she meant. I tried to assess myself through the turmoil in my veins, beyond the blood that seemed to boil along with the swamp in my mindscapes that churned and steamed. My icy darkness weaved around it all as threads of myself knitted together slowly around new facets of my being. Beneath it all was an endless throb deep in my core. My need for them s

BeauMy bond with Bri was strong before the full moon and when she shifted with us something more snapped into place when I found my bearings her white tail was disappearing into the underbrush. Wyatt lunged for her and my wolf was only held back by Bri’s command, my Luna, an Alpha Female, something so rare. I snarled but obeyed, assured that her instinct , knew she was safe with Wyatt. When they returned and I beheld the beauty of her animal a pure white wolf whose coat reflected the moonlight filtering down from the canopy of cypress trees laden in spanish moss. She was a legend, a myth walking among us and my heart swelled with pride. Communing together under the moon and stars our song lifted into the night. The vibrations of the pack were strong and the harmony poured through our links together where it began to heal something deeper within us all. We were together as we should be, as we were always meant to be.I don’t remember dreaming. The only thing that woke me was a searing
Heart of the Bayou Rougarou Rising 2 Chapter 24
WyattI had watched her from the shadows looking up at the stars, she had accepted what she became and let the wolf in her run wild and hard. I chased her for hours until we found ourselves on the territory edge where the clean water of the ocean filtered in. She was the most beautiful creature in any form she wore. She was so strong in every single one, but in this one she was free, noone would know her as The Priestess, the malevolent force that made hard choices and harvested souls for the depths they would soon belong to. She was my mate and as she bathed in the ethereal glow of the moon as if she belonged within it. I knew she needed my soul as much as my soul needed hers. We belonged together through eons. The Beast allowed me there with them as he gently consecrated the right and I was thankful that he loved her just as much as I did. He was as gentle as a beast like him could be, and I felt the full twine of our souls because deep down I realized The Beast was me. I had fors

BriThe anticipation had been flooding my veins all day but as the moon began to rise my body became one with it. Its light brewed within me ready to release. The instant it did, the pain relented within an instant and my hands became paws hit the earth, my new instincts surged and I just ran, knowing he would be a heart's breath behind me. I scented everything in existence. The swamp, the creatures within it, the primordial scent of the soil washed within its depth eons ago. I took it all in as I sprinted toward the smell of the sea. Bounding across sandbars and swimming through shallow channels as small gators and snakes pushed away from me. I felt him moving towards me. My paws sunk into silty earth the wolf as defiant as I was to be caught too easily as we pushed harder. The strength in my limbs complied and I forged ahead, to where I wasn’t sure. I released that train of thought letting the wolf take over. It was exhilarating and freeing to be truely at one with the wildness I ha

WyattI didn’t know what had actually caused the mounting pit of anxiety that countered my excitement to finally fully bond with my mate despite my previous hang-ups. Until she made me speak it, all the rest I could rationalize but even The Beast was weary of the dream. We knew sinister things lay beneath those dark waters, the unending depths of them unknown. Only we could navigate them int he beast’s form. Something about Bri seemed so close to the power that pulsed in the secluded pocket of Bayou where no human man had ever tread. It repelled them but attracted the likes of dark practitioners and troublesome entities that remained on this plane. Those who sensed power and would strive to use it or to foolishly set it free. That I could never allow to happen. I was it’s lone Warden.I dreamed of a green-eyed wolf her features blurred, yet I knew her, my mate. When we woke in the afternoon I gave Bri a languid kiss, her canines were slightly longer, and sharper, and I relished seeing
