NaomiOver the next few days, I tried to adjust to the new dynamics of my life. My wolf’s return brought a renewed sense of strength and purpose. I had shifted morning and night, relishing in the feel of my wolf as I ran around the Manor’s grounds. I’m not too sure what Tobin and Ataz thought of all of this. After years of hating wolves, it was strange to be one and a part of their coven. Still, with Cal always keeping a watchful eye, they never said or did anything. I was a hybrid. One of a kind. In someways I had finally found my power but it also felt incredibly lonely. There was no one else like me.The cursed mate bond with Cal lingers over me like an oppressive weight, suffocating my every thought and action. I struggle to push it away, to deny the overwhelming emotions it evokes within me — a tumultuous mix of desire, confusion, and fear. But even as I fight against it, my eyes betray me, constantly drawn to him in a primal attraction that I cannot ignore. The sight of his powe
NaomiMy boots teetered on the precarious edge of the cliff, the wind howling and rattling my bones with its ferocity. The stench of saltwater and old memories filled my nostrils, stirring up a familiar longing and pain in my chest. I was torn between the dangerous allure of the Chaos Coven and the bittersweet pull of my past life in Bloodmoon Bay. My mind and heart battled against each other until the weight of my decision became unbearable. With a heavy heart and trembling legs, I made my choice. Time to leave the Chaos Coven and Calyx, my second chance mate. I needed space, clarity, and perhaps a little bit of healing.Calyx stands stoically by my side, his piercing eyes boring into mine, searching for any hint of wavering resolve. “Naomi,” he whispers, barely audible over the roaring waves crashing against the jagged cliffs below. “Are you absolutely certain about this?”My heart clenches at the thought of leaving him behind, but I steel myself against the tumultuous emotions swir
NaomiJasper’s warning pounded in my mind like a war drum as I trudged through the thick, oppressive air towards Hilda’s cottage on the outskirts of town. Every step felt like wading through molten tar, and I could feel the powerful wards she had erected to keep unwelcome intruders at bay. Hilda stood at the door, her eyes piercing and unyielding. “Naomi,” she said in a low voice, “I have been expecting you.” My hand involuntarily caressed my swollen belly, and I met her gaze with desperation. “Cal, you were right about the child. I haven’t told him. After he gave my wolf back, I found out we were mates. I can’t hide it from him for much longer.” I felt tears streak down my eyes as she silently beckoned me inside, leading me into a cramped room saturated with the aroma of dried herbs, glinting crystals, and ancient spell books. “Tell me everything,” she commanded, her voice laced with both concern and determination.“I have to confess… how can I possibly keep this from him? It’s not f
CalyxNaomi’s departure left a gaping hole in my chest that throbbed with longing. The walls felt like they were closing in, suffocating me as Ataz and Tobin went about their business, oblivious to the turmoil raging inside me. I couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease, like something was lurking around every corner waiting to pounce. Two days without her felt like an eternity, and I could feel myself spiralling into madness without her calming presence by my side.“Drink it, Cal,” Tobin snaps, his voice dripping with frustration and impatience. The sight of the herbal tea in front of me makes my stomach churn, but I know I have to drink it. It’s like drinking boiling dirt, a taste that burns my tongue and threatens to make me gag. Tobin pours himself a cup without hesitation, but even he has to grimace at the putrid smell before forcing it down his throat, holding his nose as if that will somehow mask the taste. I follow suit, hoping that by chugging it quickly I can avoid tasting it
NaomiMy feet froze in place as I stood in front of the Manor House, my heart pounding with fear and anticipation. Ataz loomed before me, his dark presence emanating from every inch of his imposing figure, made even more intimidating by his shockingly white hair. His cold, piercing gaze sliced through me as he scanned the house, searching for any sign of being followed. My breath caught in my throat, afraid to even make a sound as he prowled like a predator, ready to strike at any moment.The sound of Calyx and Tobin’s hushed conversation in the kitchen sent shivers down my spine, igniting our bond with a fiery intensity. I could feel their scheming words, like sharp blades, slicing through me. My body trembled with the urge to go to them, to look into Calyx’s eyes and see the truth for myself. But I fought against it with all my might, knowing that one glimpse would be my undoing.Every instinct in my body screamed at me to run to him, to give in to the bond between us. But I knew dee
NaomiOdette smirks, her long, honey-blonde locks cascading over her bare shoulders as she gives him a sultry smile. “Ataz,” she purrs suggestively, mimicking his name. I glance over at him and see him snatch the photo before striding over to the bed, a hunger in his eyes. He sinks down onto the unmade sheets, hastily undoing his trousers before thrusting a hand beneath his boxers. “Say my name again,” he growls, an edge of desperation creeping into his voice. I turn away, unable to stomach the scene playing out before me. My gaze shifts to the bedroom door, my mind racing with the thought of escaping downstairs. But then I stop. I can’t see Cal right now. It’s too hard. The pain of our bond crashes through me, my wolf whimpering in agony as I struggle to keep myself together.“Ataz, wouldn’t you rather I was with you?” Odette’s voice is like honey, dripping with seduction and lust. Ataz groans in response, still pleasuring himself, but his eyes are fixed on her and the desire in them
Naomi“Ataz,” she calls, and he nearly squashes her using his finger to silence her, almost squashing her in the face. “It’s just a precaution to ensure things go well,” he answers as she folds her arms over her chest with a huff, shaking with anger. “I told you I love you. There’s no need for these drugs,” she demands, her voice filled with defiance. Ataz shakes his head, his gaze dark and determined. “Maybe, but you bound yourself to Cal and I - I want to know that you are mine,” he reasons as I arch a brow and Odette flails her arms by her sides. “By drugging me? Well now, you will never know how I feel,” she snaps scoffing her voice laced with venom as he presses his lips together. “It will wear off,” he replies as he begins the spell. Odette returns to the 2d picture, her face looking rather annoyed but I always thought she had resting bitch face.I watch in horror as the figurine violently shakes and contorts, growing larger and larger until Odette finally returns to her human f
NaomiAfter my dream the night before, I felt incredibly groggy. My face was pale and sweaty as I clutched my stomach, reaching for the door to the bathroom as my body swayed before throwing up as I hugged the toilet. Damn morning sickness. If I didn’t believe Hilda before, I sure do now. It was a miracle keeping it from Cal. The bracelet worked its charm, but there is only so many excuses food poisoning or I’m just stressed can cover for morning sickness. I think the only reason he bought it was to try to make it up to me to ease the weight of his own guilt.I rinse my mouth out with the ice cold water from the tap before splashing my face to remove the first traces of sweat. This is not how people are supposed to wake up. My wolf has been sleeping a lot, lucky bitch. Apparently, the pregnancy is taking its toll on her. I can barely think half the time with her snores drowning out the rest of the world. The only time she perks up is whenever Cal crosses my mind. Then she is practical
