"Grey, oh no what the hell you guys!" I shouted after bumping into Sonia and Grey who were engrossed in sucking each other's faces."You have no right to complain, do you know how many times I've had to bump into you and Lance? It's more creepy than this, trust me." Grey rolled his eyes. He had given his mate some space but he never let her go by encircling his hand around her waist."What is it Hayley?" Sonia asked, obviously wanting me to get things over with and leave so they could continue their business. For God's sake they were out in public, right in front of their room door. There was no harm in taking it inside."Lance seeks your attention Grey and Sonia, It's already time for your check up," I explained.Grey turned to his mate and they both seemed to be linking with themselves so I had to awkwardly wait for their final answer."Don't be naughty Stone," Sonia slapped his chest with a girly giggle.My face turned into utmost disgust at her sentence and I felt my belly do a f
'Think about it, whoever this person is depends on whatever information we give to the pack to send to the vampire king, that was how he was able to know about the Luna ceremony and the celebration of your healing. The person knew exactly where I was with Beam and they came to attack us when we least expected,' I pointed out hoping he got an idea. He was thinking deeply into my theory and I was glad he allowed me to talk.So that we kept our conversations private, Lance and I talked strictly over the link.'So if we act like everything is normal and continue to give out normal and standard information while we prepare the real deal with the people we actually trust, the vampires won't know what is coming for them,' Lance helped me finish my logic and I smiled at how well he caught up.'Exactly,' I nodded with a grin. "Soon enough, desperate for more details, the person will reveal himself."'You're a genius, you know that?" Lance smiled at me.'Oh, I know,' I replied, flipping my hair
It's a cold but yet beautiful winter morning. The view out of my window presents a picturesque outlook of an evergreen mountain, heavy footprints could be seen on the snowflakes that have been falling over the last couple of days. The wailing of the siren coming from an ambulance reminded me that our pack was constantly attending to the needs of the weak and feeble. Every pack brought their sickened loved ones to us. It had only been three additional months since the witchpire killed one of us. My mother and sister still stayed here with us and Dorcas, having performed her duty to us, left. We had gone to war, and killed the vampires, all of them and now we lived joyfully. The Storm Growler's pack was a wonderful place to live in; the gentlemen were dressed in thick coats and I could see Lance and Grey talking animatedly. They both had snowflakes on their hair. Lance glanced at me and he smiled. Oh, I could feel the baby kicking in my stomach! Twins. The ladies were dressed in sweat
We had not even introduced Dorcas yet to the pack and yet she was already causing trouble. If Lance did not come back in twenty minutes then I am dead. Everyone will think that I have conspired with a witch to kill the alpha. "Relax Hayley, I believe in Lance, you should too!" Dorcas said, perhaps sensing my anxiety. "Dorcas, a child died on my watch, I won't be pardoned again if there's another mistake.""Lance will be fine, I'm certain of it," she said. She sat on the floor. "Why can't you just open up another portal if he doesn't make it back in time?""Portals are unique to the witch that places them. They draw the magical ruins differently in each dimension. I know the ones here because I've seen it. I don't know what the ones on the other side look like. What I'm doing now is called portal hijacking and it's a one way ticket in and out of the same portal."It all sounded gibberish to me. Discuss with the intricacies of any medical subject and I would catch up in no time. Ever
Lance POVI stepped into an unknown portal a while ago. In my life I have killed many witches but the witch that cursed me with my sickness also left me with a gift. I was able to do some basic magic spells. When I walked into the portal I found myself in the vampire's coven that attacked myself. It was where I was expecting that I would end up in. I quickly took notes of how the ruin marks were drawn. I saw with my eyes witches and vampires conspiring against me. The vampires were partaking of some form of ritual wherein the witches were giving them some of their blood to drink."As you drink so shall you be strengthened against the werewolves," sneered their leader. The witches I suspected were affiliated with the one that cursed me. "How long will it take for us to feel its effect?" Scar the vampire king asked. "Its full effect will be felt next tomorrow and by then you will all become witchpires," the leader replied. "Someone's here," one of the witches said. That was when I
I looked out from the turret for the umpteenth time, it had been three hours now. They ought to have been back.Lance had blocked me out from linking with him and I had no idea what state he was in."Hope everyone has found something to eat," I asked Leah who had been busy in the kitchen and had come to join me to keep watch. Asides the protection spell placed around the Castle, I made it clear to those of us that stayed behind that no one was to step foot outside. No matter what. We had a month's supply of food and nonstop water, if it took that long for them to come back. There was also the power generator that went on for the past three hours and enough diesel to keep it refueling."Yes, they're in the living room watching the new cartoon. That's one way to get their mind off the war without worry," she shrugged.Then she jerked forward from where she stood and stared into the blank space. Blank for me and not her. "Leah," I said, moving to her. She held her her palm over her ey
He was laying still on the bed, his heart was beating normally, making me sure that he was still definitely alive. I opened my mouth to say something to him, but nothing came out of my mouth. I reached out to touch him but I had to rethink it. 'You missed me so much didn't you?' Lance said over the link and I could almost see a mocking face on him although he was backing me.'You wish,' I denied, finally deciding to take a seat on our bed. I did miss him, I feared I was going to lose him to the war too.Abruptly, he turned around to face me. My throat itched when he pulled me to himself and I landed on his bare chest. I remembered the night he told me I felt more comfortable sleeping without a shirt on. There were some unhealed scars on his body and I let my hands roam freely, touching each and every one of them as if to feel his pain during the war. "You still haven't told me what happened," I whispered softly to him."Alright, you're just going to keep asking anyway," he sighed
"My mother is demented," I said, after we got ourselves back into the room."I'm sorry, how come?" "I don't know, Lance.""Is there anything you can do for her?""Other than just give her pills to calm her nerves? No, I doubt I can cure madness.""It's not your fault.""I know but it's sad to watch this. The painful thing is that my father doesn't want her around anymore. Elena could care less if she dies.""She can stay here for as long as you want Hayley. The decision is for you; I'll never ask them to leave unless you say so yourself.""Thank you, I really love you, mate.""I am still figuring out if I love you," Lance said, with a playful boyish smile.We talked about different things and several hours later we were still talking. We argued a lot on the total number of children. Lance wanted four kids and I wanted just two so we settled for three children. Then the argument took on another dimension but still about children as we debated in what order the gender would be. He want
