"Katies POV"My heart raced as I ran past the trees, my bare feet crushing the earth and digging into the rocks and sticks. Unlike my usual nightmare, I was grown, wearing a long white gown that hugged me elegantly. Its embroidered threads were simple and beautiful. But the ends of the dress started tearing as I ran, coating itself in mud and sticking to fallen leaves and sticks. My hair waved like a flag behind me, as I gained speed, but I wasn't moving. My feet dug into the earth and my dress swayed as I tried to get away, always running. A loud roar could be heard in the distance. The sound brought terror to my heart, the howl sounded hollow and cold. Something is after me, and I can't stop. I tried to move my feet further, but they only sank deep into the mud. Casting me to the ground at my ankles. My heart dropped to my throat as panic caused waves of fear to crash through me, sinking me further into its icy depths. A wolf with light ash-speckled, dirty, shaggy fur made its way o
"Katie's POV"We haven't found out much yet, but I plan to check out the library here at the pack house after we eat breakfast. I'm feeling spooked and Jax just keeps giving me looks. I can't really tell how he feels about it, he is much better than I am at handling emotions. I know that we have moved really fast, but he has saved my life more times than I can count at this point, and I would do the same for him. We are going to be taking over the pack together here soon, we are just getting help with handling the dark coven.We walked hand in hand to breakfast and the thoughts of the floating bubbles kept invading my mind. My sneakers scuffed across the floor as we walked. Jax kept looking at me as I kept my head downward. Thoughts consumed my mind like a flood of a thousand questions and emotions. Was my father really my father?"We are going to figure this out, baby. I'm going to stand by you no matter what. Forever and always.""I know, it's more than just," pausing, looking aroun
*Spicy scene* *Adult Content*"Katies Pov"Sabrina got up and left the room, the door closing behind her. leaving me standing there in front of Jax. My heart fluttered in my chest as he moved in inch closer to me, so close I could feel the heat of his body coming off of him. His eyes looked me up and down again, his hand slowly trailing up my arm sending sparks that sent a shiver through me. His other hand wrapped around my waist, holding me to him. He picked up my chin with his fingers and I looked into his grey-blue eyes."You are so beautiful," his voice swirled with desire, my heart beating like a drum in my ears. His lips landed on mine. We kissed each other with such passion it made my head spin. His hand trailed down the silky dress, his hand finding the gap in the dress that ran up to my thigh, the fabric bunched as he reached his hand around and grasped my rear into his hand and squeezing. Our kiss deepening as his tongue dove into my mouth, my gasp consumed by our kiss. Reac
"Katies POV"After, I got dressed in a pair of jeans and a simple light blue t-shirt, and he got his clothes back on. I fixed my long tangled hair into a pony, and grabbed his hand. Some shorter hair hung loosely framing my face, and even if my scar showed, he gave me confidence, and I wasn't afraid to show I'd survived hell with my scars. We made our way out of our room and further down the hall to the door of his father's office, and Jax's soon-to-be office. He paused before knocking and faced me, grabbing my hands into his."I want you to know that just because of what we found, it doesn't change how much I cherish you." He looked into my eyes and that feeling came back that he knew something. It made my heart drop to my stomach because I knew the answer deep down. I just didn't want to admit it."Okay, let's just do this." I squeezed his hand and he reached up to knock on the door. My heart beat was beating loudly as we proceeded forward into the room, after a faint "come in" from
"Deans Pov"I've been getting updates from my new little spies, and it seems the princess has developed some powers of her own. Late bloomer, but changes things. Walking down the hall, my black leather shoes thud against the floor. I know what I want, and my uncle is just standing in the way, he is slacking on our mission, and we will never achieve what we want. The moon is going to be in the phase we need in just under two weeks. I have to get that girl if I want to hold the ultimate power. Not hesitating, I walked into my uncle's office, his feet up on his desk crossed, he sat leaning back into his chair, the phone next to his ear. He laughed loudly on the phone, finding whatever the person said on the other side of the phone amusing. Rolling my eyes, I walked over and slapped his feet hard off the chair, his feet landing with a thud. He gave me a hard look, and sat up straight. I stared coldly back at him. Making a phone with my hand, I put it in a downward motion signaling him to
"Green Eyes POV"The paws of my black ash-speckled wolf smash into the ground, like thunder that cracks through the sky. The blonde girl grips my fur tightly, and it makes a growl escape my throat. This dumb naive girl will bring us down. Dean says to bring them both back alive, but I want to kill her already. She blabs non-stop about how she will be the ruler and sole Queen of the coven and Dean will be her puppet. Little does she know, she's part of a bigger plan. Rolling my eyes, she goes into ranting about how she will control everyone, and they will wade over her, each hand and foot. Jumping a log in my wolf form, I arch my back and a branch hits her pretty little face with a loud thwack. She groaned loudly and smacked the top of my wolf's head."What the hell man! That fucking hurt!" She whined several pitches too high. Skidding to a stop, I leaned forward, and she leaned off and fell over the top of me. Shifting to human, I stood tall in front of her. My manhood exposed and all
"Green-eyes POV" My massive wolf slows its run as we edge nearer to the outskirts of the Red River pack, Justice keeping her mouth shut tightly and doing what was asked of her. It took a full day and night of traveling, and we both bare the looks of rogues in the forest. We both stink of mud and sweat. Stopping my wolf's pace, I lower myself and let Justice tumble into the dirt. Her legs wobbly as she stands. Snickering in my wolf's form before I transformed back into a human shape, I turned back to her and her broad orbs glanced down quickly before meeting my eyes and she gulped loudly. "We are going to go into one of the small villages first," I started, giving the orders. Watching her face as she visibly makes herself smaller, we went through this already before we left, but her previous attitude makes this necessary. "Then," I continued as I made my way walking through the thinning trees. "We will find some suitable clothing to find my sister. You will take me everywhere that I n
"Katie's POV" My bare feet crushed the earth, the soft soil mushing between my toes. Looking around, I saw nothing but fog, my dampened long hair dangling in my face. Wearing jeans and a simple pink v-neck shirt like when I had laid down to nap. The fog thickens as it swirls in from nowhere. Taking more steps forward, the fog seemed to thicken more around me, the air becoming dense and hard to breathe. Looking down, I am suddenly wearing the red dress made for mine and Jax's ceremony, running my hand down my own side. This all feels so real. But it has to be a dream. Sticks snap behind me, setting my heart to a racing beat. All I can see is a sheet of white fog, making a slow circle. I listen closer. "Hel-" Where is my voice? Why can't I talk? Before I could fathom a solution, there was a man with green eyes standing inches from my face. My feet are glued to their place. I can't move. My heart's beating faster than a hummingbird's wings, bound to explode at any moment. The man just
Using every last bit of courage, I screamed. Screaming as loudly as I could, and even though it came out choked, a blast of energy exploded from my chest. I watch as Oliver is blasted back across the other side of the river, his body colliding with a tree and bending in an ugly way. There's no way he survived that... Thinking about being over there, I warped through time again. Closing my eyes as if I were blinking, and transporting myself to be right in front of his mangled body. Covering my face, and turning away for a moment, I collected myself. Gasping, I stepped back two steps. He was lying with his back legs still half wrapped around the tree. Both legs were clearly broken. I could hear the wheezing breaths he took in slowly. He was not conscious and he didn't move. Noticing a knife on his side, I reached over and grabbed it, quickly pulling it from its sheath. The lighter wooden handle feels smooth in my hand, and a dragon is cast into it and runs down its blade. Intricate deta
Running again. Why am I always running? My feet splash in a puddle as the rain starts falling harder. The sound of it echoed through the red hazy night. I have been running for three hours and my breath comes out in foggy bursts. The air is thick like this with the rising fog and humidity. Stopping, I listen around me. I have only run into him once. My body reacted and zapped me... Well, I don't know where I am anymore. Walking up a hill, I see a road dead in front of me, a car's lights pass by and the speed of it whips my hair back and out of my face.Climbing, I stumbled forward. Catching myself with my good arm, I half army crawl up. One more step, I can hear the traffic and see the headlights fading in and out. A stick snaps behind me. Looking back, I saw him, I saw his piercing green eyes and menacing smile. My stomach dropped to my ass. Falling to my rear, I put my hand up and sent a tornado of leaves and sticks right at him. He claps his hands and my small tornado disappears. H
"Jax's POV" -The day Katie disappeared- If Katie thought I would leave her, she wasn't thinking correctly. Sitting on a bench, I am still a distance away. As I was walking away, I heard her say she had seen him before in a dream, and now I am definitely not going to leave her side. Keeping a distance, I sat under a tree and watched. My elbows on my knees with my hands clasped together, both feet on the ground ready to jump into action. Watching as my gorgeous mate floods the arrogant asshole who claimed he could help her, I just don't understand why she couldn't see what I saw. I could see the danger he held. As if the universe is out to prove me right, I see him moving closer. Waving his hand as my mate fell through the cracks of the earth, her scream sent chills through my spine. My wolf took control in seconds. Standing up, I shifted and immediately started gaining speed, but the portal that swirled on the ground closed in on itself like a black hole. Since when could he teleport!
COULD BE TRIGGERING(Spoiler-Katie loses the baby, you could skip to Oliver's POV halfway through the chapter if this is a triggering topic for you.)Waking up, my arm is immediately the first thing I notice, then the cramping in my stomach. Going to reach down to my stomach, my one good free hand is chained to a bed post. Wait.. Looking around, I notice the dull pink, princess-style bed post that held my chain and towered up and towards the pillows, pink and dusty. This is my old room. Shimming up on the floor, I get myself standing using the bedpost. More cramps had me half doubling over. Looking around more, I see a photo of me, my father, and my mother sitting on the dusty bedside table. My heart shatters. The image is dull, the frame and glass covered in dust. My stomach cramps again, and I feel moisture come between my legs. I'm losing my baby..."OLIVER!" I yelled out, at least he was nice enough to splint my broken arm. "WHAT DID YOU DO?" I screeched. Another cramp and I could
"Katie's POV"Sitting on my knees, I look at the palace that towers before me. The sun behind it turned the sky orange and pink as it set. The mountains surrounding me towered even taller, touching the clouds. A dewy fog rolled from the bottoms of the mountain, filling the air with the smell of rain and clarity. Tears flowed from my eyes, I forgot how beautiful it was here. The mixture of awe swirled with pain, my heart aching in my chest. A thousand memories stabbed into my chest as I sat there on my knees. Standing, I took hesitant steps forward, my feet dragging. Putting my hand on the rusted iron gate that towered over me, it creaked loudly against the hinges. My feet landed with light thuds as I walked through the abandoned kingdom. Overgrown trees and grass made it eerily strange. This looked like the place I once played and explored, but now it was covered in vines and overgrown with weeds. The once small shops and houses fell in on themselves. Wild animals could be heard scatt
"Katie's POV" Following Oliver, I kissed Jax before going further into the training area. Nerves were coursing through my veins. I may not have told Jax about the dream or that I suspected I knew whom it was. He was going to be in the packhouse dealing with pack business in a first level office, ready to be mind-linked if I needed him. His hesitant goodbye was understandable, but I needed to figure out this one on my own.. I can't risk his life either. Oliver had already made his way to the middle, walking to meet him. I was on guard and ready. I wasn't going to give in easily, and looking at him today, I recognize he is one of my dreams. Those green eyes, so haunting and expressionless, I wonder if he knows something more too. His black hair tied neatly again at the nape of his neck, and his striking green eyes searched my every move. "I've seen you before." I started the conversation, the air growing thicker ever every moment. Jumping right to my questions before he could say anyth
"Katie's POV"Lacing up my shoes, I sigh loudly. Jax is angry because I chose to train with Oliver again. He sits on the edge of the bed, his big shoulders slightly sagging."I just don't understand why you would want to train with him after yesterday, Katie." He said for the third time in this conversation since we've been talking about it all morning."I told you baby, he is right. I need to get control of my powers, it's hard enough to even summon it willingly. His methods are a little rough around the edges, sure. BUT, I am a grown girl. I can handle it." I walk over, gently smootching his cheek. Even though he was angry, I know he understands. He huffs as he digs his phone out his pocket, pulling up a racing game. Walking to the center of the room, I start stretching my muscles. I was a little sore after doing so much yesterday, if anything, it showed me how out of shape I've become. As I stretch the sound of Jax's race goes on behind me. If today was like anything like yesterday
"Katie's POV""That's it!" I stood quickly and raised my hands. A powerful wind pushing dirt in Oliver's direction before cycloning around him. With a sound of a snap it all flew right back out. Poofing into the air, the dirt floated down to the ground like snow. Slowly, Oliver could be seen pacing my direction. Frozen like stone, I watched waiting for another shot to come my direction."I see the princess does have some spice!" He exclaimed loudly, sarcastically clapping his hands as he got closer."You know I am pregnant!" I shouted back, furious that he went so hard."I do," his foot steps paused three feet from me. "All the more reason you need to protect yourself." Raising his hand, he summoned fire. It twirled in his fingers as my panic soared. The moment he twitched to even move, I felt a pulse radiate from my body. Throbbing, it felt as it came from deep inside me. Looking him in his eyes, I let go. Pointing my hands straight, ice crystals form like little daggers and flew tow
"Green-eyes POV" Sitting in Justices room, I am finally in the packhouse. We introduced me to her father and mother, and the Alpha and Luna of this pack. Justice giving me an outstanding resume. Looking around the princess styled room, she had made the guest room altered to her style. Looking around it's littered in different shades of pinks and lavender, so much it makes my stomach turn. Accents of white fluffy carpet, curtains, and pillows scattered here and there. Leaning agaisnt the bottom bed post I look at my phone, sighing, I check the time. 1:22. It was almost time for my little training appoitment, and sweet escape from this witch. Smiling to myself I looked over to her sitting with her back against the pillows and her legs half dangling from the bed. With three more days til the blood moon, plans have been picking up pace. Justice ran into Katie a few days ago, and the spell I cast is working. Justice sits on the bed, her legs crossed at the ankles as she scrolls through he
