Thank you all for reading! My son's Asthma is acting up so I apologize for the shorter chapter!
It wasn’t until we were walking the streets from our childhood that images of our childhood flashed before me. Just short little glimpses. Samantha falling off her bike. Mom yelling at me for playing in the street or even Samantha and our gang laying under the stars, eating ice cream. Samantha had soft tears running down her face, as she would occasionally stop at a bloodstain on the street. I knew it had rained, but I guessed the rain hadn’t washed off all the stains on the street. We were standing on the street, looking at the charred, molded and completely destroyed house. The only thing standing was the brick chimney, but even that was partially fallen. Jameson was rubbing her back as she internally debated if she wanted to move closer to it. As the wind blew my hair in my face, I could feel the water changing. It was getting colder, and it smelled like rain. It almost had an ominous feeling. Tuning out Samantha and Jameson, I just focused on the tree line. There were a few bir
Jet POV White hot pain erupted across my body as blackness took over. It felt like I was falling off a cliff before my eyes opened. My body jerked as my eyes opened and air sucked into my lungs. It felt like I hadn’t taken a breath for months. My mouth was dry and cracked as I tried to speak. “JET?” I heard a voice call my name, but all I could focus on was my stomach. The pain was slowly faded as my breathing leveled out. I could feel Colt pace in my mind. The feeling of arms wrap around mine shook me. “Can you hear me?” Looking over, it was Justina. Tears stained her cheeks, her face was puffy and her eyes looked like they had been red for days. “How long?” “Days. It’s bad, Jet. It’s bad.” “Where is she?” “She went with Jameson and Samantha to the field to prepare for the battle. Jet, she turned off her emotions. She is this heartless version of herself. I think she cut them off, so if you died, she would survive it.” “Shit.” “It gets worse. The mark has grown and had pr
Ivory POVS The sparks that were radiating down my body brought something alive in me. Something I forgot what it felt like. Something I never thought I would get back. I could feel my heart race, but surely it was just a dream. I felt myself smile as I snuggled into the warmth of my dream. It was so real, the feel of his skin, the softness of his hair and even the sandalwood and lavender scent. Even in my dreams, he made my heart flutter. A soft chuckle vibrated his chest, making my head shake. “Open your eyes, my love.” “I can’t. Don’t want this dream to end and this feeling to go away.” I muttered. My head nuzzled into his chest like a damn cat. “I won’t leave you. Open those beautiful eyes and look at me.” His hand caressed my face. “Promise?” I felt like a little girl, asking her crush if he was being honest. The fear of rejection is always so strong. “I promise. Open those eyes.” His thumb lifted my face upward. All dreams must come to an end, sooner than later. I just
“Is that…” Jet asked in a whisper as he hung up on Wade. “Yeah. I haven’t fought one yet. I have no idea how to kill it.” The creature was staring at us… waiting. He didn’t advance but didn’t turn around and walked away either. “Is Adron here?” Jet asked. “No, I think that is a scout. To see what we are up to. I don’t feel threatened, but I feel the danger.” “He has amazing control over them.” Jet studied the creature as it just stood there. Its teeth were showing as the corners of his snout was lifted. “We need to move out of this clearing.” I whispered as I pulled Jet’s arm. “Yes, let’s go.” The pilot said as he climbed out of the window, slide down the side of the plane and landed on his feet. “Let’s back away slowly.” My suggestion was based on what felt right. All three of us walked backwards, slowly across the field, until we were at the tree line. The whole time, I felt it watching us. It wasn’t until we were officially out of it’s eyesight that we let out the breath
I told her everything. I told her about my birth parents. They already knew I was adopted. Jet helped me talk about the vampires and witches. I basically spilled my guts, telling them it all. How I lost it. How I got this mark. I told them and Jet about the tattoo. It was so nice to have friends again. “Samantha is alive. She is in our pack in Virgina.” “Paul is dead. I know that for a fact. I was there when he died.” Carter said, shaking his head. “So you are supposed to be a savior now?” Molly said, looking at me with a smile. “Yeah, I guess so. These are improved creatures that killed our pack. More deadly. Faster, more accurate and just overall a more highly intelligent creature.” Shrugging, I stood up and started pacing. “Adron will be here soon. I have my pack and our allies coming to fight. We have the witches but are not sure about the vampires. However, it will come down to if Ivory can kill Adron.” Jet said. He had his left leg lifted with his forearm rested across it
“Jet, this is bad.” I mind-linked him. I knew the Vaewolves that were standing around us would hear us and relay what we were saying to Adron. “I know. I’m thinking. I can’t get through to Wade.” “Me either.” Colt was still in the front, but Jet was still very much present. We could hear a large roar with lots of shouting in the distance. “We have to get there.” Colt said out loud. “Hold on.” Relaxing my entire body, I focused on creating these beautiful vines with massive purple and white flowers. In the middle, they had little needles that shot out poison into their victim. Opening my eyes, I watched them grow around the surrounding trees. The Vaewolves seemed uneasy about them as they bounced from foot to foot. Looking around, I picked out all the Vaewolves I thought I could find. In their original form and in the shapeshift form. Counting to three, all the flowers shot out poisonous needled into the necks of their victims. Their eyes roll in the back of their heads before
"I must say, I am disappointed in you. That was very anticlimactic.” I said, making my voice sound clearly disappointed. “Well, not every is around for the theatrics.” Adron laughed as he tossed down the gun. “So what now? Kill everyone and leave? Make them our slaves?” I shrugged, looking around like I didn’t really care. “Where are all the Vaewolves?” “Ah, you figured it out. Yes, I was finally able to recreate the Vaewolf. They have been extinct, but I did it!” Adron waved his hands as all the Vaewolves around came out into the opening. The warriors all stiffened up as they looked at this new creature. The fox that had changed earlier transformed back into its true form. Walking up to it, I was able to finally examine one. Even touched the skin. It was thick but not like we couldn’t stab it. Jet must have aimed for the heart. “Very nice.” I said, approvingly at Adron. “It wasn’t easy, but Andreas had an eye for that sort of thing!” Adron laughed as Estella and Cassius curs
Orpheus ran in front of Adron. All I saw was a blur before a sickening snap was heard. He had snapped his neck before running on. Adron’s body fell to the ground, but his eyes were still blinking at me. I watched as Adron stand back up, grab his head and reposition it. The horror and excitement I felt were scary. His moments were slower, but his eyes never left me. The series of cracks made shivers run down my spine. The rain was falling hard, puddles were forming quickly, and I knew sooner than later, this place was going to be under water. Looking to my left, then to my right. Everyone stood beside me and he was left alone. I needed them to wear him down so I could push as much power into him as I possibly could. That was the only way I knew how to kill him. I was more powerful than him. His body wouldn’t be able to handle it. At least, I hoped so. “Your time has come.” I yelled at him. “You’re wrong, my dear niece.” Adron twisted his back, cracking it before standing at his
