Maliyah
When I wake up the next morning I find I have a killer headache. I rack my brain for what happened yesterday, but I don’t remember. The more I try to think about it, the worse my headache gets. I hear a light tap at the door and rush to open it.
“Good Morning sweetness,” says Luca as he plants a kiss on my lips.
“Uhh..good morning.”
“Something wrong?”
“I just…what happened last night?”
“We went on that date, watched the shooting stars and went home. You fell asleep though on the ride home and your dad carried you to your room. He said you woke up and told him that you choose me. You have no idea how happy that makes me.”
Luca wraps his arms around me and I find myself hugging him back. I am utterly confused as I don’t remember this at all. Did I really choose Luca that quickly? Does Aspe
LucaDespite everything I have done to ensure her mind is swayed towards me, she still resists. She is way strong than I expected and every time she sees that damn elf, she pulls ways from me. I need to find a way to keep the elf away so the spell I have on her becomes stronger.I take her back to the pack house as her father ordered. She seems too eager to leave me as she quickly disappears inside. There are times I wonder what I am even doing anymore. Here I am seducing my half-sister to gain her powers, but then what? All I’ve ever wanted is a family and Breanna is certainly not family as she wants revenge for the Alpha and this family killing her mate, who was the uncle to the Alpha.Brandon is a good kid and I would prefer to see him grow up in a normal household. I wonder if it’s too late for me to reveal who I really am and they&rsqu
MaliyahThe minute I left Luca’s side I had this urge to go back to him. It took everything I had to not turn around and run back into his arms. I find that feeling odd and I find that I find it odd even more odd. This is suppose to be easy. Finding my mate is not suppose to be this hard and confusing.First thing this morning, Luca was on my mind and how excited I felt at seeing him again. Normally, it would be Aspen and I am slightly appalled at myself for how quickly I moved on and tossed Aspen to the side. I feel so guilty and yet there is another part of me that doesn’t care since I found my mate. I have never been one to not be empathetic and yet here I am not really caring that I hurt him.I shake my head at that horrible thought. Where did that even come from? Of course I care that I hurt him, we’ve been through so much together and we both expected me to become his queen. I
AspenIt’s been hard to keep my distance from Maliyah but I know it’ll make Luca more relaxed which will make him more likely to slip up. We were so close to getting an answer, I could feel it, but then this happened. I had just returned to the pack for a break before we were to head back.I will never get over watching Maliyah use her powers. I watch her in awe as her eyes begin to glow that beautiful emerald color as she places her hands on the ground. I’ll never understand what she means that the earth whispers to her. Davina said that has never happened to her, so it’s unique to Maliyah. I watch curiously as she cocks her head to one side, listening to something the rest of us can’t hear.“She’s still here,” she whispers as her head snaps up to the left a little and she takes off in a dead sprint into
MaliyahI let out a groan as I take in my surroundings. The last thing I remember is getting hit by what felt like a truck. The first thing I notice is Ada sleeping next to me and I gasp as I sit up. I wince a little as I hold my head. Maybe I sat too quickly. I can see the tear stains on Ada’s face as she continues to sleep soundly. She wasn’t gone long but it seems to have exhausted her.‘Terra? How long have we been out?’‘A few hours. That spell did not harm us at all. It would seem it was just meant to knock us out.’Well that’s odd. Why would Ada’s kidnapper not want to harm me? I put a pin in that thought and decide to go find Aspen. The minute I put my hand on the door handle I freeze on the spot. Again I am at a fair, standing in front of the carousel. I can’t find Accalia anywhere o
***Spoiler alert do not continue if you have not seen Where The Crawdads Sing***AspenI am shocked that she raised her voice to me. We have never yelled at each other, even when we were frustrated with each other. Thankfully, she didn’t notice that I ripped one of her charms off as she pulled away and disappeared.“Go get Dimitri immediately,” I order a guard and he immediately vanishes from my sight.“That is not the same girl I’ve come to know and love,” says my father.“That’s because she is under a spell, I am sure of it.”“Son, don’t you think it’s best to let this go before you let this consume you. She’s made her choice.”“Not of her own free will she hasn’t!”I can’t believe he would even
AspenI need to hurry and get the answers we need. Today is the fair and Derek told me he and the family are attending. It’s such a bad idea. As far as I know Maliyah’s vision hasn’t changed so this is a big risk. Derek thinks he can stop it all from happening, but he’s playing with fire risking the girls’ lives. I don’t like that they are not even away they are bait.“What do you want? Stop following me.”“I just wanna talk Brandon.”“Well I don’t want to talk to you elf.”“What if I buy you a shake from Ortiz’s Place?”That stops him in his tracks. I can tell he really wants one and is having some internal battler whether or not he should take my offer, but I think with the heat we have been having lately I win.“Okay.”We walk towards the diner while he answer simple que
Maliyah“Maliyah wake up!”The twins and Aiden burst through my doors and jump on top of me. They’re all super excited as we are going to the fair today.“Alright already, I’m up,” I giggle as they continue their assault on me.I turn the tables on them and knock them each with my pillow. They each grab a pillow and gang up on me.“Alright! Alright, you win. I need to get in the shower so we can go,” I laugh as they giggle their way out of my room.I grab some clothes and head to take a quick shower. I start the shower to let the water warm up and stare at myself in the mirror. I am filled with anxiety today as the vision hasn’t changed. I don’t know how to fix it. Luca assures me we have plenty of guards to help protect. Wh
AspenI wanted to immediately leave for Alastor’s realm, but Derek insisted we make a plan. I understand him not wanting to storm in there without knowing exactly what we’re walking into as we could endanger the girls, but it’s killing me that I haven’t been able to reach Maliyah. I am scared of what they could be doing to her.‘Maliyah?’I have been trying to reach every hour, but it’s been radio silence. Dimitri sent a few of his scouts to the realm to see what they could find. Dimitri is concerned that his spell was easily broken as he sealed the realm off all those years ago which begs the question is it Luca or another warlock that broke the spell?“I’m so sorry sir,” says Chris for the thousandth time.“Maliyah is a lot faster, faster than me. It doesn’t surprise me that she
