Chapter 11: Sky - Getting to know Mark
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When we got outside, I hooked my arm in Mark’s as he led me in the opposite direction of Jax’s house. The Sun was high in the sky, and even though it was most definitely autumn here, it was a nice sunny day. I looked around the landscape. The trees looked slightly bare as they had started to lose all their leaves. The leaves laid scattered on the ground, creating a carpet of yellow, red and brown colours.
Mark halted. There was a fork in the path we had been walking. He looked between the two paths, a smile tugging at his lips.
“Come on, I want to show you something,” he said as he led me down one of the paths. We continued walking in silence for a while. My mind preoccupied with the beauty of the forest and what Mark was planning on showing me.
“What’s your world like? Do you hav

We walked through the forest in an awkward silence. There were so many things to consider and digest. I knew I wanted to be with Mark, but after what he just told me, I didn’t know if it was possible. How could I commit to the mate bond, knowing that I have less than ten years to live if I didn’t get my magic back? I could not do that to Mark, I couldn’t bind myself to Mark until I had figured out how to get my magic back. Who knows what Abigail was capable of, especially as she worked under Hecate. I knew I was ready to die fighting for my magic, but I wasn’t willing to risk Mark’s life.After a while, small wooden houses appeared between the trees. I stopped and looked around. The houses blended in perfectly with the trees and it was hard to see them. Mark stopped and turned back towards me.“This is where the wolves
Magical bonds Chapter 13: Jax - Next step
I woke up slightly when I heard the door open, my senses on high alert even though I knew nothing could get through my protective spells without my knowledge. The bed dipped down, and I got a whiff of Cassie’s shampoo. I lifted my arm up and waited for her to cuddle up against me.It felt like our relationship finally started to go the right way. Cassie has joined me in bed on several occasions and even though I didn’t want to rush her, I loved having her next to me in bed. For the most part it helped me sleep knowing that she was safe, right next to me.The early morning woke me up and slowly made my way out of the bed, careful not to wake Cassie up. I needed to clear my head and think about the next step to take. I opened the window and transformed into a bird.I flew over the forest, enjoying the fres
Magical bonds Chapter 14: Sky - Back to school
The next morning, Leah invited us back to the house for breakfast. We all gathered around the dinner table. Leah and Cassie had cooked up a massive breakfast feast, which surprised me considering everything that had happened. When we finished eating, Jax spoke up.“I understand you guys are all eager to go back to school.” He looked around the table with a serious face. Noone met his gaze and you could cut the tension with a knife. Several moments of silence followed.“I’m not,” Seth said with a smile.“Well then, you can stay with the wolves,” Mark said firmly, before looking over at Jax for him to continue.“I don’t like it, but as Abigail is taken care of, there shouldn’t be any major reasons why you ca
Magical bonds Chapter 15: Jax - Freya
After breakfast I went over to the school to enroll Sky. Knowing that my mind persuasion worked on the head teacher, I was more relaxed this time. And it didn’t take long before everything was taken care of.I met up with Cassie to let her know what it was all sorted and to tell the guys that they can go back to college tomorrow. I asked Cassie to stay in the house as I needed to see Freya and I didn’t want to leave her alone in school with everything that was going on. She understood and gave me a kiss.I teleported myself to the forest and made the long journey to Freya’s house. I never understood why she had made it so that I couldn’t just teleport to her house, but I guess it was a safety precaution.To blow off some steam, I swiftly soared through the trees close to ground level. C
Magical bonds Chapter 16: Sky - a serious talk
I needed to talk to Jax. Abigail was the only one that could give me the answers I wanted, and Jax was the only one that knew where she was being held.As I walked over to the house, I tried to come up with what to tell Jax. He needed to understand how desperate I was to question Abigail. Jax had said that he would question her himself, but he wouldn’t know the right things to ask. I had been studying magic and spells for most of my life. He had only lived briefly in the witch village and wasn’t able to wield elemental magic.I reached the back door and stopped for a moment, considering whether or not I should knock. Everyone always seemed to just walk inside. It surprised me that Jax never locked the house.I opened the door and walked inside. The living room was empty, so I shouted hello, but I didn&rs
Magical bonds Chapter 17: Jax - justifying the choice
The sound of the back door slamming shut got my attention. Because of my protective barrier I knew it wasn’t an enemy, but one of us, but I thought I better check who it was. I had my suspicions.Mark marched towards me in an angry stance as I stepped into the living room. His breathing shallow, like he had been running and his muscles tensed. His face held a sour expression and if looks could kill, I would have been dead several times over by now.“Why did you agree to it?” he yelled as he invaded my personal space and glared right into my eyes. His eyes were dilated and I could feel his breath on my face. I could have sworn that he was growling. If he’d had his ability to shift, he would have turned into a wolf and tried to rip me to pieces. Luckily for me, or him, depending on how you saw it, he couldn’t.
Magical bonds Chapter 18: Sky - meeting the pack
After Mark left, I looked over my research that Leaf somehow had sent over to this world. I wasn’t sure how, but a few days after I had arrived here, a box with my name had appeared in Jax’s living room. When I opened the box, everything I had worked on over the last years was there, including a note from Leah ‘I thought you may need this’.I opened my notebook and looked over my most recent notes. I had tried to figure out what type of spell they had been using to take the magic away from someone. But I didn’t have much to go on, so the progress was slow. In order to reverse a spell, you must first know how the spell was conducted. And talking to Abigail would help with that.I sat down at the table and started scribbling down all the questions I wanted to ask Abigail, questions that would help me understand that type of spell tha
Magical bonds Chapter 19: Jax - A magical evening
I was thinking about where to take Cassie as I collected the ingredient that we needed for the spells. I could just take her to a fancy restaurant, but it didn’t feel like the right place. No, I wanted something that represented us both, somewhere where we could be alone. Suddenly I knew where I wanted to take her. It would be perfect. I paid for the ingredients and walked out of the shop, I had been in luck and they had everything that we needed.Before I went back to the house, I teleported to the mountain cliff near the woods. I wanted to make sure that it was safe and that the weather had not made it unpleasant. I conjured up some blankets and a fireplace. Cassie would like this place. The sun was just disappearing behind the trees, so by the time we got back here we would be able to watch the stars.I got back to the house and handed over the bag of

I was standing next to the makeshift stage by the big oak tree, watching as the Alpha entered the stage.It amazed me how everything had turned out. Not only did I have my magic back, but I also was standing next to the love of my life and Freya had gifted me with the ability to turn into a wolf.After Mark had seen me in my wolf form, he had insisted that we go to the alpha, to ask if I could join the pack as well. The alpha had agreed, and we were now waiting for the pack ceremony to start.“...Freya has a few words she likes to say before we start.”My thought’s go cut short when I heard the Alpha mention Freya’s name and I moved my attention to the stage.“Thank you Alpha Derek.&r

“You’re back,” Cassie shouted as she made her way towards me.“And you’re not dead,” Leah chimed in.“Did you ever doubt I wouldn’t be back?” I said with a smile.Cassie ignored Leah. “What did he say?”“He wants to personally give us his blessing.”“Does that mean I get to see my dad?” Cassie said, a wide smile appearing on her face.I hated to burst her bubble. “You will, on your eighteenth birthday.”The smile on Cassie’s face faded. “Why doesn’t he want to see me.”

We spend the next couple of days going back and forth to the witch village to help out. It was nice seeing my family again, but Night was still avoiding me. We had eventually found Dawn in the ruins, piled on top of the high priestess. It looked like she had sacrificed herself to save the high priestess. Most of her bones had been broken, and it was speculated that she had taken a hit from a stone wall or maybe the ceiling falling on top of her.The high priestess was still alive, but in terrible shape. Part of me wished she would die. She deserved it for what she had put us through. Maybe if we had gotten to my sister sooner, she could still have been alive, but I guess fate had other plans for her.They were planning a massive funeral ceremony for everyone that had got killed in the crossfire or when the building collapsed. Leah had found the ceremony i

When I got back to the house, Leah was in the kitchens cooking by the looks of it and Cassie was setting the table.I walked over and gave her a kiss before turning to Leah. “I didn’t know you could cook.”She gave me a smile. “I was worried you’d stop feeding me if you knew. Besides, I only cook on special occasions.”Me and Cassie sat down on the table as Leah came over with the food. We ate in silence for a while, enjoy the rich flavours of the casserole Leah had made.“So, how did Nick take the news?” Leah asked.I swallowed my food before meeting her gaze. “I haven’t told him yet.”“Scared he’d kill

I woke up when I heard the door to the cabin close. Mark had left earlier that day to attend some pack business. Technically, he wasn’t part of the pack yet, but he had told me that the Alpha had plans to perform the ceremony as soon as things had calmed down.I got up and walked into the living room, hoping Mark would have some news, when I saw Cassie.“Hi Cassie.”She gave me a smile and a wave. The massive rock on her hand almost blinded me.“Holy Goddess,” I said as I made my way towards her to inspect the ring.“When did this happen?”“Last night” she beamed with happiness.

I woke up from the sunlight reflecting from the waterfall, causing flecks of light to appear in the walls. I looked over at Cassie, still peacefully asleep. A big smile found my lips. I wasn’t ready to go back home to reality, so instead of getting up, I put my arm around Cassie and pulled her closer to me. Kissing the back of her head as I breathed in her scent. I was overjoyed with happiness.Eventually Cassie stirred and we reluctantly got up.“How about a swim before we go back?” I said with a smile.“Won’t it be cold?”“There’s only one way to find out,” I said as I grabbed hold of Cassie’s hand and jumped into the water.The water was just cold enough to wake u

Me and Mark had gone up from the sofa and were currently watching the last bit of sun disappear at the horizon.“Ready to go outside?”I nodded.“The pack house is still open for dinner, or if you prefer we can go somewhere else,” Mark said.“The pack house is fine,” I said as I looked at my hands. My skin was still red, but the blisters seemed to have gone away. I wouldn’t want to be out around humans looking like this, even if it wasn’t painful, I was bound to get some funny stares. At least the wolves knew me and what we all been through. They wouldn’t give it a second thought. Some of them had some gruesome scars on display themselves.I got my coat and sca
Magical bonds Chapter 45: Jax - The proposal
I woke up before the sun was up. My body felt rejuvenated and I couldn’t wait to spread my wings. I wrote Cassie a note before I made my way over to the window and transformed into a crow.I flew high in the sky, enjoying the chilly wind under my wings. The sky had turned a light shade of blue, the sun would get up soon. I thought about Freya and teleported to her realm. Maybe she was at home. I slowly made my way over to her cottage. My thoughts replaying all the events in my head. I still didn’t understand why Cassie had not run away from me. She had seen the monster that I truly was. It warmed my heart knowing she was still by my side despite everything.When I got to the cottage, no one was home. She usually knew I was coming, but there was no welcome, no newly brewed tea. I didn’t even see her two cats that were always hanging around. She
Magical bonds Chapter 44: Sky - Research
I was running fast through the forest. Much faster than I had ever run before. But I seemed to be aware of everything around me, the smells, the light movement of the wind, the sharpness and colours of the trees.I was gracefully swaying in and out between the trees, the placement of my feet precise. I looked down and saw my paws connecting to the ground. It was a chilly day, but the coldness didn’t bother me. My fur kept me warm.The sun was peeking out from the horizon, but I felt no fear. The sunlight could not hurt me in this form. I continued running. I heard a twig break behind me, I tried to run faster. But eventually a massive wolf jumped me and got me to a stop. I looked up and saw Mark in his wolf form. “You may be fast but you can’t outrun me.” he said in my mind as he licked my muzzle.
