After waking up from my dream and repeating the strange words over and over thinking I would get an idea what it meant but I could not figure it out, this already deprived me of any kind of sleep I was expecting. What the hell does s ‘Notre origine a apposé un cachet sur cette commande’ mean. I'm so confused right now. Do I ask Henrietta or Lucian? Will they know what it means? Won’t they think I’m saying rubbish.Lucian, that was the only think my Bain and mind decided to pick out. My own annoying soulmate I am giving a week to prove to me how much he wants me. Will he really prove to me? And do I really have a choice? I tried switching up to seem bold and confident but it was just not me. I can’t pretend to be something or somebody that I am not. I knew I had to respect them whether I liked it or not but I won’t let Lucy walk over me because against my will I now have the responsibilities of a Luna on my shoulders.“I can give you a tour of the packhouse and territory later today, that's if you're interested” He offered on his way out. I smiled and sent a nod his way.“Yeah, I’ll let you know when I am ready” I said. As soon as he closed the door I sat on the bed and calmed my breathing. This is so weird and yet it feels amazing. If we just continued like this we won’t have a very toxic relationship. I really don’t want to be arguing with my partner every minute nor do I want to stay in a relationship that exhausts me mentally. I know I need some time to accept the fact that I am his even though I don't love him but I could still make something out of this. I am pretty much affected by the mate bond which is intensified because I have been marked. I stood up to get ready for the day. I will need bathroom supplies soon. My soap is almost finished. While having my bath I thought of Rietta, she has not been here ye
Henrietta made the first move to leave the room and I followed her out of the room closing the door behind me.“So like you've noticed we are currently on the second floor of the pack house. All the rooms are on this floor”“And Lucian’s room?” I asked. She nodded negative.“No. He's is on the third floor where is office is”“What else is on the third floor?”“That will be me giving you a tour wouldn't it?” She said.“I guess not” I said.“Lucian will not be happy I'm giving you this much information, he wants to do it himself so let me take you to him” Henrietta said. She pulled me along with her to a turning I didn't know was there. I was met with a long stairs. Henrietta was already going up while I still stood down looking at her. She turned back.“Come on Rain. Let's go” She said excitedly.
He let me walk out of his office first and he locked the door behind him as we both made our way out. “This is the third floor in the pack house which is Practically mine because it has my office and my room” He announced. I nodded letting him know I was listening to him.“The room beside my office is my bedroom,” He said again.“What are all these closed doors?” I asked out of curiosity.“These rooms are private rooms only the Alpha family has access to. You will get to know more about them later”. When we trust you, you mean. Of course, I didn't say this aloud. He pushed aside the deeper explanation of what was behind those doors. He held my waist and further explained what was on the third floor making sure not to disclose anything of substance to me. I don't blame him. I also won't trust someone like that because whatever was behind those doors was definitely important. We wa
Lucian finished his meal and topped it with two glasses of water. “Thank you again for the tour,” I said when we both stood up. He smiled at me.“No, thank you for the opportunity you are giving me to make it up to you” He moved ahead of me and stopped in front of me. I was about to talk when he suddenly pulled me into a hug. I let myself get lost in his warm embrace. I felt safe in his arms. Allowing his scent to engulf me in its warmth. His hands were on my lower back with mine on his back. “I really have to get to a meeting now. Get some rest, you need it” He whispered before he let go of me. I stood staring at him as he left me. I have to find Henrietta, she wasn't here for lunch. “Aaaaahhh” I screamed when I accidentally met with Henrietta on the staircase as soon as I made the move to climb she was already there.“It’s just me,” She said quickly holding my hands in hers. I took deep breaths and nodded.“You took me by shock”
As soon as I got back to my room I sat on the bed and I let my mind take me back to the book I read in the library. It all started when two best friends Gonzalo and Ambrogio fell in love with the same girl. Not just any girl but a human. FLASHBACK TO A THOUSAND YEARS AGOGuinevere approached her master, Ambrogio’s chamber with fear. Guinevere who just arrived at the palace owned by the famous feared vampire in all of the world. Ambrogio the only son of Orlok and the older brother to Lilith. Lilith was popularly known for her seduction. She could seduce and have any man she pleased around her finger some people often referred her to a succubus who slept with their victims and tormented them in their dreams. That was exactly who Lilith was because after having her fill with a man she sucked his blood dry till there was no life left in such a person. This rumour did not stop men from falling at her feet all the days
CHAPTER TWENTY ONEI finally got the thought of the story out of my head and got a good night rest, which I knew of because I was awake at the moment starting at myself in my slacked leggings and a faded tight blue top. I had no idea what Lucian had in mind but I knew he would have expected me to put a little effort into my appearance but I could not do anything. I had no presentable clothes. I was going to talk to him about this issue later, I needed a job if I actually wanted to survive here. I need new bathroom items and some clothes I could least wear when either Henrietta or Lucian felt the need to take me out. I sat on my mind using that time to wait for Henrietta. I'm used to seeing her in here every morning. Just like I had predicted, Henrietta knocked on the site few minutes later. Anxious to see her I ran to the door and opened it with a smile.“Good morning,” Henrietta said before pulling me into a bone-crushing hug.“Good morning to you too,” I said with a smile. She walk
CHAPTER TWENTY TWOLucian dropped me on the passenger seat and helped me strap my seat belt. When he was done he walked to the order died and got into the car. He started the engine of the car when I decided to ask him for today’s plans.“Where are we going?” I asked him. Still driving, he looked back at me,“It’s a surprise, be patient” He said. Smiling, I nodded. I will wait even though it is killing me. Few minutes on the road and we haven’t gotten anywhere that looked like anybody was living there. I was very anxious but Lucian has refused to let me even have a guess of what today is all about so I decided that to enjoy the day I have to play along with his tune, live the day by the minute and see what plan Lucian has for the both of us.“Tell me more about Raina” Lucian said. I stared at the beautiful man as he drove with all concentration.“There is nothing to know about” I answered looking forward.“I’m sure that’s not true” Lucian insisted but when I refused to say anything he
CHAPTER TWENTY THREE“Thanks” I mumbled. Lucian leaned closer to me. He stared into my eyes and I could he was conflicted. Did he want to do something he was not sure about? I suddenly had the urge to kiss him. Will he kiss me back if I kissed him now? He said he wasn't going to kiss me until he knew I wanted it. Will he think I did this because of the bond and not kiss me back? A risk I wasn't ready is take so I discarded the thoughts. No kissing and making a fool out of myself.“I_need to take_this off,” I said when his closeness was doing more than just an urge to kiss him. He stepped back, away from me with an apologetic look.“I’m sorry” I quickly said and left the room. I quickly removed the gown and changed back to my clothes. I handed the gown to the lady and she added it to the rest of the dress. With Lucian’s help and a lot of coming and going, we eventually get all of the clothes in the car.“Are you hungry?” Lucian asked and I nodded. Not really but anything to spend a lit
CHAPTER SEVENTY THREEI felt air loss in my lungs. Struggling to breath I jumped awake. The room was dark. I touched the bed only to find out that Lucian is not beside me. A shadow was standing across me. I struggled to get my brain working to cast a spell. I murmured the spell Lucy thought me to use whenever I am in trouble and I don’t know how powerful my attacker is.“Shit!” The very familiar shouted. Their hands dropping on to their side. I used this chance to run to the door. Before I could open it I was dragged back. My back hitting the ground. I felt a bone crack. Nothing that won’t heal now.I held out my hand and used a spell to make only the hand of my attacker to burn. That seems to be their power source. I switched on the light with my second hand only to find Henrietta on the floor.“What the hell Henrietta? Were you trying to kill me?” I screamed at her.“What is happening here?” Lucian barged into the room. His face looking all healed.“You’re hurting her” Lucian pushed
After our big meal of deer soup and bread we gathered outside the motel because a room was too small for us to stay in together.“What’s the plan when we get back home?” Henrietta asked. “We haven’t even called your parents that we are coming back yet” Lucy added. “I’ll call them tonight” Lucian said. “Good. Now back to the issue of the heirloom” Henrietta started again. “As for the dragons we need more time to figure it out. But for the witches it should be with the most ancient witch coven” Jack said.We all made reason with his assumptions. It was definitely the only reasonable thing we could come up with. “With that being said. Which coven is the oldest?” I asked. “It should me my mother’s. She also told me about how old our coven was. It even irritated my dad a lot. “You have any idea where it is or who the heirloom might be with?” Jack asked. She nodded her head left to right. “My mother never disclosed those type of information because I wasn’t old enough and she died b
“I should call Lucy back” I loved to stand up but I stopped him“No. Let them sleep. You should get some sleep to” I told him.“How could I sleep when you’re this sick?” He stood up with the damp towel and came back with it again. He continued to press the damp towel all over me throughout the night.“What’s the time?” I asked when I noticed the atmosphere getting bright.“Uhhh_ 7” He answered.“Thank you for staying with me” i thanked him.“Anytime love. Are you hungry?” He asked.“I don’t think I can eat anything but I do feel really dirty” I confessed. “Let me help you clean up” He stood up taking some time to stretch before pulling me to a sitting position.“Tell me if I'm doing anything to hurt you more” He removed my tank top slowly to avoid it from touching the shoulder. He proceeded to remove my shorts.“Let me run the bath.” with that Lucian left leaving me naked under the duvet. He came back ten minutes later.Lucian carried me gently as we went Into the bathroom. He droppe
CHAPTER SEVENTYAfter the introductions Lucian’s father gave us a map telling us it was a special map of us supernatural beings. He said it is going to help us find the dragons when we get to the wild mountains and dark caves in Greece. It was really obvious that everyone one of us was r4eally anxious about this journey. We knew despite what we said that this trip is very very dangerous to embark on.“Ready?” Lucian whispered in my ear. I nodded after taking deep breaths.“Yes” I replied. The five of us got into the car. Jack was driving while Lucy sat at the passengers sit with him. Lucian, Henrietta and I were at the back seat of the car. The car ride was nothing special. We were all quiet probably to give ourselves some sense of peace before the chaos presented itself to us.“We’re here” Jack announced. I looked up away from my lap to see where we were.INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT and very little below it was FOR THE SUPERNATURAL. A human would not be able to see this tiny writing so I k
CHAPTER SIXTY NINEI laid in his arms for what felt like hours just contented with the oddly comfortable silence. The faint sound of his slow breath as he fell asleep.The next day came rather quickly and we had to have our final packing so we would leave for our journey in less 14 days."Good morning" Lucian greeted with a smile on his face. I groaned into the pillow the event of last night came rushing hitting me hard with a huge wave of embarrassment."Hey love" He leaned in to whisper in my ear."Can you leave first" I begged."Why? Do you regret what happened?" He sounded scared to hear my response. As much as I wanted to reassure him and make him realize it was one of the best nights of my life, I just couldn't find the courage."Yesterday was really special to me Raina and I don't want you to shy away from me because of what happened" He begged as he pulled my shoulder. Reluctantly I faced him."I'm sorry. Everything just feels so strange" I confessed."I don't want to make you
CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT“I don’t think so” I disagreed with her.“Why not? You love him”“Because_ I don’t know. I shouldn’t say it first. What if he doesn’t feel the same way?” I asked“I know he cares about you” I sighed“I know you want to help but I want to be very sure so I don’t stir trouble” I explained another reason I wasn’t ready to speak to Lucian about it.“I understand you Raina” Lucy hugged me and assured me that everything was going to be alright.“Thank you for everything Lucy, you are the sister I never had”“We are sisters Raina”“That’s so sweet”“I guess” We hugged again. This time we stood up to make our way back inside the packhouse.“What do you girls always have to say” Lucian.“I think we’d love to leave that in your imaginations” Lucy answered leaving us alone.“So_ I’m sorry for how I acted. It was so stupid of me. I don’t know why I acted like that. I want you to know that I trust you so much and I don’t want today to affect what we have going on” Lucian rushed
CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN“Raina?” both Lucian and I looked up to see the person calling me.“Wren?” I needed to confirm if he was the one because if it was him, he looked so different. Wren is now really muscular and his hair colour now a very dark shade of brown.“Yes” The person I now confirmed to be wren answered.“Wow, you look so different” I said with a smile on my face. My worries already forgotten.“Is this your mate?” He asked. I stared at him, in shock. He knows who Lucian is so why was he asking? I asked myself.“Yes. This is Lucian” I introduced.“Get out of the car love. I need to hug you” Still so excited and oblivious to Lucian’s reaction to all of this I opened the door and got down. Wren kissed my cheeks causing my face to heat up. There was a time I wanted badly for him to kiss me but now I have Lucian and I love him.“If you don’t mind we need to hurry and leave as soon as possible.“Sorry” I mumbled holding unto Wren’s hand as we chatted and told each other things we ne
SIXTY SIX“Wait” Lucian called after. I ignored his call as I hastened my steps but who was I kidding. I knew how fast he was. He grabbed my arm making me stop.“Hey, hey. Hey. Didn’t you hear me call you?” He asked with a frown.“Ahem_ sorry about that. I honestly did not hear you” I lied.“OK” he replied.Breaking the silence I asked “So why did you come after me?”“Yeah about that, I wanted to know why you decided to leave the table early”“Oh I’m sorry. I’m I supposed to leave last as part of my duty?” Mind you I was being very sarcastic. Why else did he want from me. Everything was already beginning to tire me.“No, no. not that Raina. I just thought you were upset” Now he sounded upset.“No I’m not. Why would you think that?” I asked.“Nothing” I gave me a ‘really’ look. Did I really think that I was going to fall for that?“Ok, fine. You leave the gathering whenever you get upset and sometimes you do not even say anything at all.” He defended.“True but I’m good” I lied again.
SIXTY FIVE“Are you ok?” Lucian asked as soon as my eyes began to open back up.“Yes I am” I lied despite my banging headache.“You do not look fine Raina. Are you sure you are ok?” Lucy said not convinced with my lie.“A little headache, I’ll be fine” I lied again. It didn’t seem like I was going to fine anytime soon.“OK” She finally agreed with me.“Take care of yourself Raina” Jack said as he left with Lucy. Ri stood up not saying anything. It hurt me but what would I say to her again? It was obvious she had some kind of grudge against me that she was not ready to let go of.“Be careful Ahriman or else you might just dig up your own grave” Ri whispered in my ear before she left. Her calling me Ahriman wasn’t what scared me but the fact that her voice sounded exactly like Abigail’s. Still unable to get over the shock I watched her as she walked away like she did not just call me Ahriman. How the hell does she know?“Did she say something hurtful?” Lucian asked. I nodded, no.“She d
