Kacie
We were quiet as we shot towards the training grounds. The sun was shining brightly and a sweet wind caressed my cheek.
“Sometimes, I wonder if things could have been different if Viktor wasn’t Clara’s mate. What was the Goddess thinking by tying the both of us to him?” I asked. Jake bumped his shoulder against mine.
“Try not to wonder about what she’s thinking. There’s no point in stressing over things you have no control over, instead, focus on what you can control.”
“Like?” I asked as the warriors came into view.
“Like your relationships, you pack, your own strength,” Jake said as he led me to a patch of grass I knew I would be for the duration of training. “If that’s also a headache, you can watch me. Focus on me for the next two hours,” Jake said graciously as if it
KacieAfter Haley shifted, others followed her and shifted into their wolf form as the rogues inched forward. Lucky for us, there were fewer of them and it put them at a disadvantage. The longer the wolf had been a rogue, the worse their health, their strength, and their physical appearance. Judging by the appearance of the group, so of them had been rogues for a lot longer than others. We were a pack, united we were stronger.A few of the wolves hesitated when I stepped forward, their eyes zeroing in on my flaming hands. My eyes drifted over them one by one as I searched for someone who wasn’t in their shifted form. When I found none, I knew they weren’t here to talk; lives would be lost today.Jake bristled behind me and I held my ground as I held eye contact with the one leading the group. A large black wolf stood in the middle of the group, his fur had a few patches but nowhere as many as the wol
My opponent gripped down and yanked hard, I screamed as tendons were ripped and torn from the bone. I fought the natural instinct that screamed to stay still to limit the pain as I swung my free hand towards the paw that held my other one captive. His canines pulled out from my shoulder as he howled in pain. He released my other hand and tried to get away from me. I reached out and held onto his front legs, burning him as I made contact. The smell of burnt flesh filled the air and he whined from the pain. Tightening my grip on him, he snarled viciously. He was unable to get away and he glared down at me with a crazed look in his eyes as he struggled to figure out what he could do. I stared up at him as he dipped his head as he got ready to snap at me again. With him so close, I knew what I had to do, there was no other option. It was him or me, now or never. I let go of his legs and leaned up quickly. He stared at my outstretched arm
KacieWavy black hair fell just below her shoulders, it had grown since the last time I’d seen her. Striking light blue eyes that resembled lightning stared down at me. Circle orbs hung from her ears as they gave off that familiar orange-yellow glow. A black spaghetti dress hugged her curves. It dipped low and her chest was on display. Black and sheer spirals wrapped around her body leaving little to the imagination.There was movement behind her and my eyes looked past her to find two fierce women standing behind her. I noticed the one on her left right away. She was the tallest woman I’ve ever seen. She wore tight orange pants that sat on her hips and the bottom of her breasts peeked out from a short black crop top. Her skin was a smooth shiny bronze color, her hair a violent red, and her eyes were all white. The look she gave me told me just how much she didn’t want to be here.Next, my gaze
KacieClara’s attention wandered past me and I followed her gaze. I’d forgotten Jake had stopped mid-stride and I turned to look at him. He still hadn’t moved closer and I was right to assume that Clara held him back. His eyes were locked on Clara, he didn’t smile, instead, he bristled. One of Clara’s eyebrows arched as she watched his reaction.“Your Beta is,” her eyes traveled slowly down his body, “looking yummy.”I laughed nervously. If I were as insecure as I had been the last time she was here I would have gotten angry. I wasn’t the same woman and I trusted Jake.“He always looks yummy.”Her gaze met mine and a small smile pulled at the corner of her lips. She waved her hand and Jake fell forward. He growled as he found his balance. He strode to my side and watched Clara with mistrust des
Kacie“I love you,” I whisper. Jake leans in and briefly, returns my kiss. I was ready, more than ready to continue fighting for my pack, my family. His fear is replaced briefly by lust. We don’t think about what anyone will think. They’ll all figure it out sooner or later. We will win today, we’ve almost taken down most of the rogues. On the off chance that I go down, I want to have felt him one last time. For a moment, we’re lost to the kiss, the love, the desperation, the lust.Kacie.Viktor’s voice pulled me out of the steamy trance I’d been in. We pulled apart and I searched my surroundings, as I looked for him. I couldn’t find him as my gaze slid over the people. I looked towards the trees the rogues had come from, nothing. I frantically looked for him.Kacie.When I did find him, he was
KacieClara locked eyes with Viktor and for a second she didn’t move. It looked as if she was contemplating listening to his command. I breathed a sigh of relief as she lifted her foot and stepped away from the rogue. Viktor shifted his attention and his gaze trailed over the rogues on their knees, the witches, and our warriors standing. I made my way over to him and stood by his side.“You’ve fought long and hard in this battle, and you’ve fought longer and harder for the safety of our people. You’ve endured sacrifices for our home and our people are better off for the service rendered by all of you. Thank you to our new friends who aided us and our Luna when I couldn’t,” Viktor said. The wolves barked and the people standing cheered.“All of the rogues who have bent a knee will have the option to leave, our Deltas will escort you off the territory. Anyone who wan
KacieOther than the sounds of our footsteps, the silence was deafening as we walked down the hallway. The witches glided behind us and I headed along the ground toward the meeting room and I was surprised at the scowl on Jake’s face. Sensing my gaze, his face lightened as he glanced at me.“I know you don’t like Clara but we discussed this morning. Why are you so upset?” I asked. I tried to ignore the shudder that raced along my spine. The idea of an argument breaking out during the meeting was terrifying. The chance of it happening was more than possible.“The fact that she can turn on us at any moment is what has me on edge. I didn’t like the thought of one witch on our territory but now we’re stuck with three,” Jake growled low.“Jake is right, we now have multiple witches here and no clue of how to control them,” Jamie says
KacieNyx leaned over and grabbed Jade’s hand. Jade nibbled her lip and sat back in her seat. The topic of enemies was dropped and Jamie leaned forward.“I get why you would want to help Kacie now, but we only needed Clara to come. Why did all three of you come?” Jamie asked.“Kacie is going to need all three of us. We are gifted in different ways and our abilities will prove useful to her,” Clara said. Clara met Jake’s eyes, “Just as you don’t trust me, I don’t fully trust you. Not everyone will welcome us here, I need them here to have my back.”“That’s understandable,” Jamie said.“There are more of you than there are of us,” Clara said.“That doesn’t give us the comfort I think you think it does,” Jamie started, “we all saw y
