My paws hit the hot fallen leaves and small tree branches as I ran through the bushes to get to my destination. Knowing how competitive Lucy was I knew she would follow despite knowing fully well that I had just crossed the pack territory. Lost in my thoughts I had not seen the taller thick tree in front of me so I hit it and feel. Lucy stood beside me for a while. I growled at her wolf and she took off. I stood up immediately too. I shook my fur before taking off in a very fast sprint. Surprisingly for me, I didn't know I was this fast. Not long after I was now running side by side with her wolf. She looked at me before taking off. Why do I keep getting distracted? If she runs in another direction this will be a wasted effort so I take my money off everything and thought solely about the price.I ran past her again and she follows me. Not long after this out wolves were standing in front of him. Lucy's wolf walked back but I changed.“Clothes” I inquired. He smiled at me before throw
Still fuming from everyone’s lack of sympathy that I lost my only friend I decided to read the book to cool me down but before I read past two sentences I was knocked out Into a deep sleep. **********I saw myself walking in a very dark room, all doors black and shut. I ran to one of the doors and as soon as I touched the door knob the door disappeared. I ran to the door behind me and the same things happened. I did this to all the doors and every single door disappeared. Already scared and tired I walked down what seemed like a ball only to meet with a big bold black door. I walked closer to it hoping this won’t be like the other six doors I tried to open. Fear, something I hated feeling but I get to feel constantly. I was scared. What the hell is happening? I was in bed just now so how did I land myself here? I asked but there was no one to help me. There has never been anyone to help. I’m all by myself. Bracing myself for the worst I walked towards the door with confidence. I tou
Angry at myself for being in this situation and angry at Lucian for being an idiot. The urge to kill Lucy stronger each day I spent in this place. Being around people that do not trust you can be really exhausting. I really thought Lucian and I were making progress with our bond. Although he annoys me I can feel the urge to mate with him get stronger each day. After I dreamed of near-death with Lucy, I went into the bathroom to clean myself up. I took a quick shower and whether or not I admitted it I could not go back to sleep because I was scared. Scared of the power Lucy held over my peace at night. What if she truly kills me this time. Her hatred for me burns deep into her soul. It's a good thing we have a mutual feeling because if given the chance Lucy Grinder will be dead.Because of the fear of going back to sleep I picked up the book about the feud between the wolf and the vampire. It keeps getting better each time I pick it up to read and with where I stopped the last time I
I closed the book quickly. what? Guinevere went through that? I could not continue to read no matter how curious I was so I just closed the book, hid it under my pillow and lay on the bed to rest myself. I know I wouldn't sleep so I just closed my eyes and let the thoughts of my parents come into the picture of my mind. I really miss them every living day. A day without them is another day I question my existence. Why did they both have to leave me alone in this wicked world? I sometimes wish I was human. They have it so much easier. What if I just leave to be among the humans. It will be so much better for everybody. Nobody will have to worry about pretending to be nice to a slave Luna. Lucian can even mate and crown another his Luna. I will be free. The thoughts alone hurt my heart but I have to do it so I stood up and started planning my escape from everyone. I will really miss Henrietta and even Wren who didn't place a call or visit as he had promised me. It was not like he owed m
I let my legs take me far away from the packhouse. I let my legs hit the hit the fallen leaves as I ran towards where I had left Megan’s body hoping it was still there. She should never have been killed! She did not deserve it and whoever did this to her will be killed. The annoying vampire and Alpha Lucas are responsible for this and I don't care who killed her, they will both pay for her death one way or the other, which I will make sure of.I pushed my body to run faster when I started to feel tired. I must see Megan's body again. Luckily for me, I found her body right behind the tree I left it. I dropped my black bag by the tree. I fell on all fours letting my wolf take control of my body letting go of all pain as I let my weak body shift into my very light brown wolf. I used my teeth to pull Megan's lifeless body to the middle of the way. I went back to my bag, shifted out of my brown wolf form and quickly put on knee-length shorts and a top. I looked around if I could find a sh
******“Argh” I groaned as I shifted in the comfort of this bed. I opened my eyes only for them to meet with a familiar green one. I tried to sit up but I just put my sore muscles in misery.“What happened?” Lucian said, worry on his toned face. This is not the time to admire your annoying soulmate, Raina. I looked away from him.“Don’t act like you care, please” My voice was low and weak. He held my hand and whispered.“I do care about you Raina. Much more than you can imagine” He explains.“Why didn't you stand up for me when I needed you,” I asked trying not to let my tears fall. Why does he switch up like this? This minute he wants to make effort next minute I'm some stranger in his pack he can't trust. “I’m sorry it seemed that way to you Raina”“You’re not sorry you didn't stand up for me instead you are sorry I think that way? What is wrong with you Lucian? Do you want me here?” I couldn't help but ask because it does not seem that way to me. I looked up at him. He sighed.“I
It's been exactly three days since I got back into the packhouse. To my surprise, the beautiful room I was admiring was actually Lucian’s room but I left the room that night. I stayed in my room and cried myself to sleep.The next morning when I woke up Henrietta walked In with a wooden tray of food. I smiled at her in appreciation. She also didn't talk but nodded at me.When I was done eating my breakfast she helped me clean up because it was hard to move. After I slept my body became weak because did not do anything. I staggered against Ri as she took me to the bathroom. She let the water run in the bathtub before helping me in. She poured the content of my body wash into the body scrub and helped me. We both went to the closet that still has the things I bought not unpacked yet. She picked out a long gown for me and helped me back to the bed. When it was the afternoon she came back with water and food. I drowned my throat with the whole jug because I was really thirsty. I munched
It's been exactly a week and I haven't still left my room. I already got better two days ago but the thoughts of leaving the room scared the hell out of me so Henrietta kept coming to see me and also keep me company. “I think I'm ready to leave the room,” I said to her as soon as I finished my lunch. She had a look of shock that she quickly masked with an assuring smile.“Are you sure?” I nodded.“Yes. I've been here all week”“Ok then. Let me take the dishes away and give you some time to prepare” I stopped her.“No. Wait. I want to make food before we leave”“What for?” She asked.“To apologize” I replied like it was very obvious what I wanted to do with the food.“Yeah sure. Let's leave now then. We should be done right in time for dinner” She Informed. I stood up and followed her to the kitchen.“What do you want to prepare?” She asked me leaning the dirty dishes in the sink. I placed my hand on my chin and tilted my head like I was thinking.“Ahemm_ chicken soup?” I asked unsure
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
