It was when I was through with my food and pushing it down with the tea that Evan came downstairs. "Can I eat before we go, I am famished" I am not sure he was asking for permission because he went straight to grab a plate and went to serve himself. I was angry at him before, but seeing how better he was from last night, my anger resolved.After eating we left for Luke's house. I was never allowed to have friends, and the people who invited me for dinner in their house I turned them down, giving one excuse or the other because I knew Denver was going to kill me if I asked him. My life was on hold all because I fell in love with the wrong guy. I was enjoying freedom here. I was starting a new life in another world. Even if there is a rogue situation and they are after me, I still love it here. We got to Luke's house. It was a small cabin with flowers decorating both sides of the house. It was beautiful and had a very simple structure. Evan knocked and after a few seconds, we heard a
It was as if they were here to provoke Adam. " They are bringing refreshments for all of us," Charlotte said. " Thanks, dear" Dorcas said. I concluded that Dorcas was the most annoying of the three of them. " Forgive Dorcas, you can go on," prudence said. I must say her voice was sweet, just like the smell of sugar that engulfed them" As I was saying, we have a rogue issue and we think you guys might be of help.", Adam said. He looked at them with a bit of doubt. Prudence would have noticed it but didn't say anything about it. She was the smartest of the three of them. She has an aura of confidence, her posture is poised. " So what is it?" She asked " Tell us" " Let's help" " We found out that the rogues that have been attacking the pack do not have scent, they disappear and appear. And I know that this is the work of a witch. I called you here to tell us how to get their scent and how to catch them". Adam said. That was when the door opened and Evan came in." Sorry, I am late
"you would have to join the line," I said to him. He looked at me and sighed. "Why don't you want me to do anything, I could force them to reverse the spell"" And how would you know they truly reversed it? I don't trust them so I would just wait for Sabrina to come" I said dragging him back to the kitchen. I looked for something to eat." Have you sent your soldier to go spy the place Simon said there were rogue?" I asked him trying to change the topic. After I was done with eating taking my plate to the sink to wash it. His eyes followed me as I stood up. "Yes, I have. They didn't enter though, just scan the place"" I was thinking we should go and check that place using their magic against them" I suggested, coming back to where I sat that was opposite from him. He thought about it, taking him off me. " Ok, that makes sense. But we can't do that if we don't know how to use the magic" he said but I wasn't bothered about that anymore. Something told me that Sabrina would be better
Evan looked at him in disbelief, I was also shocked but somehow I trusted him. I just wish he would tell us his plans. " But Adam, that is...." "Do as I say, Evan" he interjected not taking his eyes off the rock. Evan huffed and left angrily. " You could hold this, I already took a sample. We will go home and study it, then give you feedback" Sabrina said handing over the vial back to Adam. He collected it and placed it on his table. The aunties sat down waiting for what Adam had to say next, while Adam rested on his desk mindlinking someone. "Is there a way you could help us with the border, the magic barrier is fading. It won't be good if we have to add humans to our worries right now". Adam asked. " We had a human walking past it two weeks ago. That is Alaia here." Their head turned to me, a look of shock on their faces. I chuckled awkwardly." You were human?!" Aunty Elda exclaimed and I nodded my head in confirmation, I didn't think it was hard to believe." A human turned to
" it seems like you know, so tell me," I said. The sensation of his fingers on my skin caused a tingle to spread. I didn't stop him, I just waited for him to say it." You are my mate" I would have laughed at that but I was confused with the way my body reacted to his touch just like it does with Adam, but one thing I was sure of was that he was not my mate. Even my wolf growled at him."You are not my mate," I told him confidently and he laughed. "I mean potential mate," he said smiling."What does that mean?" I asked, I don't think I have gotten to the place in that book where they talked about potential mates. He held my hand and took me to the edge of the field where there were wooden chairs. We sat down and I discretely tried to move my chair a bit away from him. It still didn't go unnoticed by him but he didn't do anything instead he just smiled. "You see I have lived for hundred and twenty years and still haven't found my mate. So are other wolves that you see around. So the
My beast didn't mind running with this male. We ran through the thick forest, dodging trees and falling branches. I was enjoying the thrill of it. It felt like I could never get caught. Jerry was in front of us but he turned back now and then to see if we were still there or maybe just to ogle at us. I intentionally didn't want to outrun him because we didn't know where he was taking us. We occasionally nip at his paws and he playfully growls at us. We turned to an unused path. The land was a bit rocky but Jerry climbed it like it was a piece of cake, like it was nature to him. The scent on this path was old and the only dominant scent was of his and Adam. He and Adam must have used this path on their own more often.The rocky land was a bit tricky because my wolf was not used to this kind of work, but we did well to keep up not showing how hard it was for us. I didn't want him to think we were some weak female with alpha blood. The land finally leveled out as we ran through a thick
" Thanks," I said quietly. I felt guilty for not telling him, I had already seen my mate. We laid back on the grass, watching the sun as it slowly sat at the horizon. It was beautiful, I had always enjoyed it. It wasn't an awkward silence. It was a peaceful and comforting one. I wasn't thinking about anything just looking at the sky."As much as I would have loved to stay here with you, I think we should leave" he sighed and sat up reluctantly. I didn't want to go, but I remembered I never told Adam or Evan where I would be. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Thanks" I muttered dusting the sand off the shirt that I wore. Instead of going back, I should just meet up with the witches at the border, since I didn't feel like going home now. " Thanks for coming," he said."It's fine. I am glad I came and I enjoyed your company" " So does that mean we could do this some other time?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and a lopsided smile. He looks really cute. I laughed and nodded. "Let'
The pack is now busy, bustling with people here and there, as they run to do their daily activities while I run back home. My wolf yipped at Luke as he saw him on his way to the pack house. I saw Amber talking to Larissa in front of a cafe. Of course, bitches will always attract bitches. I shifted in front of the house and walked in.I carried my naked self to my bathroom, not forgetting to put Sabrina's doll in one of the drawers attached to the dressing table. I turned on the shower letting the dirt wash off my body and down the drainage. After a few minutes of just standing in the bathroom, I walked out wrapping a towel around my body. I stood at the dressing table, looking at myself through the half-length mirror, remembering how I was the last time I checked the mirror. I am different now, compared to then; I look healthy, beautiful, and very much younger than my age. My hair was a darker shade of red because of its wetness, my eyes were a light green, and you could see a flicker
