We’ve been walking between these dark trees for quite some time now. The gloomy atmosphere of this place scares me, makes my senses be on full alert and Lua can't help feeling restless. Once in a while, I feel my mates trying to calm me by touching my hand gently, or stroking my back and my head. Even though I know they're there, I can't let my guard down, my instincts were screaming at me so I wouldn't distract myself and keep my attention everywhere. Mellana signalizes for us to hide as apparently she saw something and it might mean danger for us.
Instinctively I stand right behind my sisters who are after our parents. My mates are behind me and we're all down, trying our best to camouflage ourselves between the dry foliage of the bushes and low trees. I took the time to pay more attention around us. It seemed that a gloomy presence lived in that place, everything was so dark and sinister that even
“Meet the gods?” I asked her softly while frowning slightly.“Yes, my child. We were waiting for you to be woken up for 18 years.” She says while I opened the window just a little to feel the breeze that ran freely through my hair and inside the bedroom.“When? Where? I need answers.” I softly request.“Don’t worry, my beautiful kid. You’ll get your answers when the time is right.” She says as her voice fades and the moon doesn’t seem to be that bright anymore. A soft knock on the door pulls me back from the trance I was in.“Come in.” I answered promptlySam, Shaw, and Sawyer entered the room wearing casual clothes. I giggle when I realize they're
Selene guides me through what seems to be a cloudy path. Everything around us is so bright but also has a touch of color. The clouds have these amazing shades of pastel colors like orange, pink, and yellow too. It was like we were right above the clouds when the sunset was happening. I was astonished by the natural beauty of that magical place.“We have arrived.” Selene announces.“Where?” I was confused as it didn’t seem to have anything close.“You can’t see it yet. Just someone with the blood of a god or goddess can’t be fooled by the veil.” Moon Goddess explains.“Then how am I supposed to see it?” I politely asked her.She grabs a knife she has on her hips
The next morning I woke up feeling fresh and well-rested but to an empty bed. I looked around but there were no signs of my mates. I got up from the bed and looked out the window. The day was beautiful, birds sang joyfully through the sky, the trees seemed to dance lightly with the gentle breeze running between them, and the sun shone brightly, and it was reaching its highest point. I ran to the bathroom, stopping only to grab a change of clothes in my backpack and head to the shower. I was feeling light, refreshed, and still couldn't believe what happened last night. It didn't seem to be real, but Lua confirmed to me that it actually happened.After I stepped out of the shower I changed into the clothes I got on my bag, brushed my teeth, and let my hair down. I looked at myself in the mirror and did not only feel fresh but I also looked bright. The miracle of a good night of sleep.
As the leader announces the beginning of the ritual I feel a barrier come up around the clearing, sealing us inside of it. Mellana approaches me with two chalices. One containing a dark red liquid, in a burgundy shade. And the other contrasting in white, but seemed to have a denser texture. She gives me the one with the red liquid.“First, you drink the potion to open your body.” The leader announces and I do as she says drinking the tasteless red liquid.“Then you are marked to receive the moon goddess' greatest blessing.” The leader commands, to which Mellana responds by dipping her index finger into the white liquid and drawing symbols across my face and shoulders.“And then you can come closer and stand with me in the inner circle.” She says lowering her voice a bit while I wa
“Come on, aren’t you the three most powerful alphas? Come on!” He provokes the triplets. “You’re three and I’m only one.”I looked at him and my vision did a zoom on his side pocket as something shone discreetly. He was carrying a knife perhaps?“Don’t go.” I mindlink the boys. “He’s with a knife.”“We’re not afraid, love.” Shaw mind-linked me back.“Please, trust me on this. Don’t go.” I mind-linked them again.“Are you afraid you might not be that strong as everyone thinks?” Maxwell followed, provoking the young alphas.“You may consider your
I gasp as I recognize the energy ball floating in front of me. It has been a while since it manifested to me. The memories of that night still made me shiver in fear. A lot of questions were running wild in my mind as I tried to put all the pieces together.“I never got the chance to thank you” I whisper, still in shock.“Thank me for what?” It answers me.“You appeared to me that night.” I say to her in a low tone. “When Maxwell tried to attack me, kidnap me. I don’t know.”“You don’t have to thank me.” It says lowering itself closer to the water surface.“Of course I do!” I object."No, you don't
We followed Luara to her hut in silence. I felt a wave of guilty coming from Shaw. I think he regrets talking to Luara on that tone, and mainly about that topic, but he didn’t know what really happened.As we arrived at the witch’s cabin, Dora felt comfortable enough to go ahead and enter the place as for me and my brothers, we felt a little hesitation. We’ve never been to a witch's house before, going inside of one is a taboo on our pack but we couldn’t allow fear to stop us from helping our mate. We entered the small hut and came up with a warm and cozy place with the smell of home-cooked food hovering in the air and a gentle jazz playing in the background. If I wasn't sure I just walked into a witch's house, I'd think this place is a jazz bar with a more homely touch.Dora is sitting on one of the kitchen island stools, while Luara is
I hug her tightly and hold her until she calms down. I stand there waiting for her to be comfortable to say something, or not. She composed herself and took a deep breath a few times to effectively calm down.“Are you feeling better?” I ask her."Yes, I am, Dora. Thank you," She responds by drying the tears that escaped her lilac eyes."But what now? How are we going to find the oracle?" I ask, trying to think of something."I think I know the answer." She says looking at me with sadness. "The time has come for me to stand up to my mother."----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After the morning
He got my complete attention when he asked me that. “You mean, mark the three of you?” I ask him “Yes.” He answers without moving an inch away from me. When mates mark each other we show to the world that we belong to one another, and all of our worlds respect that but also to show our love and devotion to our mate. “What do you say?” Shaw asks while whispering in my ear. “Makes us officially yours, babe girl.” My thoughts were completely out of control in my mind, I didn’t know what to think but I knew what I didn’t want to happen. I didn’t want my mates to feel rejected and so I did it. I let myself sink into their passion, into their love for me. And answering their affection with equal intensity to each one of them. I slammed my lips against Sam’s while closing the gap between our bodies. I felt Sawyer and Shaw’s hands wondering my body, up and down. The next thing I know, I was trapped between the bodies of those three greek gods in the form of men I had the honor of calling
The dinner went quite well even though my mates tried really hard to make me react to their jokes with more than a small smile or a little laugher. I was hurt when hearing them explain their agreement with their parents. I know they are alphas and need their Luna to rule by their side but it still hurts nonetheless. I excuse myself from the dining table and take everyone’s plates with me, dad comes to help me serve the desert but I stayed behind to start washing the dishes.“Love, you won’t join us for the dessert?” Dad asks me softly while putting his hand on my shoulder.“Not in the mood to eat dessert, dad.” I answer him with a sad smile.“You better leave some dishes for me to wash so you can tell me what has happened.” He winks playfully at me.
