Joseph’s POV“I can’t believe you are actually getting married!” Anna cooed as she wrapped her arms around me.Bernard patted me on the back with an admiring grin on his face.“So, what does that mean for you? Are you moving here full-time with her?” Bernard asked, narrowing his eyes at me. “We could use you here full time. This place is a mess without you.”I knew that was his main concern, having Tessa live here and no
Tessa’s POVI’m not sure how long I have been out for. My memory was a little foggy, but when I started to wake, I had a split headache, and my body didn’t move right away. It was like I was paralyzed.I also had no idea where I was. The last thing I remembered was arriving at my father’s farm and then…My thoughts stopped when I heard voices nearby.“How much of that stuff did you give her?” A woman asked.
Tessa’s POVI stared at this man, Lucias, with disbelief.“Coven leader?” I whispered.I was in a coven?Was this the coven my mother was a part of? The Coven my father desperately wanted to keep me from? My mind was whirling with this information, and I wasn’t sure how much more of it I was going to be able to take.“Yes,” Lucias said with a bright s
Tessa’s POVLucias cleared his throat loudly, making Patty stop her words and quickly stand to her feet. Her face looked flushed, and her eyes widened as she stared between me and Lucias, his arm still wrapped around me protectively.“I’m so sorry,” she breathed. “I didn’t mean—”“Enough,” Lucias said, his words firm, and even I felt the need to silence and bow my head at him.They all stood and fell to their
Joseph’s POVThe sun was warm in the place where I lay. I hadn’t been able to bask in the sun like this since before I became a vampire. The sounds of the trickling water, from the stream, brought a sense of tranquility to my mind, and I closed my eyes, relishing the warm air.I couldn’t help the smile on my lips as the grass underneath me tickled my body. I was shirtless, but I wore a pair of jeans. The same jeans I wore when I was shot in Tessa’s living room. The memory slammed into my mind with such force that I gasped and sat up.
Joseph’s POV2 weeks.I had been out for 2 weeks?? “I can’t stay here,” I said, attempting to get up but feeling a shot of pain in my stomach. I winced at the pain and instantly fell back onto the bed.“Easy now,” Bernard said, trying to get me to calm down. “You’re taking a little longer to heal because you were shot a few times with a silver bullet. You need to let yourself heal.”
Tessa’s POV“That’s it, Tessa! You’re doing it!” Lucias exclaimed, clapping his hands.The others in the coven came outside to the backyard to see what I was doing. They all stared up at the sky and watched as the clouds darkened, just as I wanted.There was a small fire in the middle of the yard; a fire that I had set. But I wasn’t afraid of it like I was at that time I set the forest on fire. This fire was controlled, and I knew it wasn’t going to hurt me or anyone around me. It was listening to me; waiting for orders and wanting to do right by me.It was working for me, not against me.The clouds exploded and rain poured down, soaking us all. The others screamed and laughed as they got drenched. I didn’t get wet though. A small bubble formed around me, shielding me from the wrath of the water.It took out the fire only leaving a small cloud of smoke that emerged from the ground and disappeared into the night’s air.I raised my hands and swiped away the clouds and the rain and it st
Tessa’s POVThe owl watched me with its head cocked as I grabbed a pen off my nightstand and went over to my vanity. Under Joseph’s message I wrote down the location of the coven. My hands trembled with each letter I wrote, and my vision became blurry with tears.I knew he was alive from the beginning. But I lost hope. Now I knew for certain that he was out there, and he was coming for me.My Joseph was alive.I’m not sure where he managed to get an
