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
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 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 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
“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
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
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
"Get out!" Alpha Aiden yelled at me and I jerked in shock at the tone of his voice and nodded vigorously, dropping to my knees and picking the pieces of broken plates that lay discarded on the floor.I felt a hand soap against my shoulder and I stopped, I didn't have to look up to know who was behind me. Taryn was the only daughter of the Alpha. And despite her being one of our best warriors, she had a terrible personality and I was the least of her fans.My eyes glittered with unshed tears and I rose to my feet with the broken plates and food particles and scrambled out of the room, not sparing a glance at either of them.On getting to the kitchen, I threw away the broken glasses, took out a mop and went back to the sitting room to clean the rest of the mess.When I was done, I walked back to the kitchen, sighing in relief that Taryn hadn't said anything else."You're bleeding!" A voice sounded from behind me and I turned to se

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
