SethIt was almost nightfall by the time we got to an opening. Aubrey chose the right path, and after shooting her a thankful glance, I shot out to the opening, searching for a cottage, like Xander had said."It's not that far from here, I'll lead the way." Xander said, leading the way into the woods.I followed right behind him, the soldiers walking right after us, all of them watching out for any danger ahead.Connor was right behind us, Aubrey beside him. We walked deeper in the woods, my mind clouded by worry with each step we took. What if I was too late? What if they've killed her for the ritual? What if they've done something to her?As if hearing my thoughts, Connor placed a hand on my shoulder, offering me a nod, his eyes filled with warmth as he said, "Don't worry, Seth. We would find her soon." I gave him a nod in return, unable to return the warmth and all, because I was lacking it. I was lacking all hope.I failed her. Something might happen to her because I failed her
One hundred and FiveNaomiI was jolted awake by the sounds of chanting and the feeling of something wet on my forehead and my eyes fluttered open to see Hazel's eyes glaze over as she conversed with the ancestors while applying a liquid over my head.A smile almost lifted my lips as I saw Hazel was okay. I was still yet not able to thank her for saving me, but that could wait. Hazel wasn't Hazel right now.Her whole aura sent a chill down my back, and her eyes were filled with a darkness that couldn't be explained. This is what Xander spoke about.I wonder if we were too late.My back was against a slab, and my hands were tied away from each other, and so were my legs. I resembled a starfish. But what alarmed me the most was the sight of my exposed belly.Hazel had painted words over them."What are you doing, Hazel?" I asked, rushing out my question in fear.Her eyes came back into focus as she smirked at me, "None of your business honey."I watched her drop the bowl of the liquid o
One hundred and SixThe rogue king laughed in his mind. It was almost too easy. Brighton wasn't really that bright, he thought. The minute he heard the plan to sacrifice a child for power, he jumped at the offer of more power.He shook his head at him. It was funny already that Brighton expected the power to be shared. The king wanted to laugh again.The power was solely for him. He wasn't going to share with anyone. He planned to be the most powerful creature, and he didn't plan to rule with any of the people he had with him.He was going to end Brighton and his stupid daughter when he wins the war, and he planned to use that witch until she couldn't be used anymore.He would be the most feared person in the world.He was feeling giddy just thinking about it."Nu wolves would end those men in a jiffy, you just wait!" Brighton said delightedly as they waited in the cottage with four of theur guards in, the room where his traitor of a wife used to stay.She had everything a person coul
One hundred and sevenNaomiStones and pebbles dug into the heel of my feet as we ran down the forest. Everypart part of my body screamed at me to stop running, but Hazel's grip on my hand wasn't relaxing as she dragged me deeper into the forest.Branches and thorns scratched various part of my skin, adding to my agony. My chest burned, and I felt I was going to fall and faint.All this stress wasn't good for me, or my baby. The stress I have gone through this year was undeserving of me."Hazel," I huffed as we ran, "I can't go much longer."Hazel glanced back, her eyes reflecting annoyance and irritation. "Unless you want to be caught by the Rogue King's people, you better hurry."I let out a huff, "It could be Seth-" I started but she vut me off."Well I don't cate who it is, but that baby in your belly is mine. "Fear gripped me at her tone. Evil Hazdl scared me to death, but I couldn't just wait for Seth. Was I weak, just like Megan said?I didn't take her seriously, but bits of t
One hundred and eightSethWe weren't able to search the whole forest before exhaustion took over, but we made progress. Naomi already made me rest assured that she was fine. I just had to make sure I found her before Hazel did anything to her.Connor, Aubrey, and the rest went back to the palace, while Xander and I ventured deeper into the woods. I couldn't sleep on a soft bed knowing my mate was somewhere out there under the mercy of a witch being controlled by black magic. I had to do something.I couldn't sit still.Connor offered to come in contact with witches who could help, but the least people who knew about this prophecy the better. Everyone wanted the power from the miracle baby and I couldn't bear to put Naomi under any more risk.We would find Naomi without black magic. I knew Naomi's scent, Xander knew Hazel's scent, and that was enough to begin our search.The search went on for ours and the fatigue was beginning to set in as we found nothing, their scents all over the
One hundred and NineNaomiIf I had a precious stone for how many times I blacked out in the past twenty four hours, I would have five precious stones, because four times is too many and I would be given an additional one as a bonus.My head throbbed as I regained consciousness, again. This was getting old.But I didn't have time to focus on that.My eyes took in where I was.I found myself in an unexpected room. A airy room filled with unlit candles, and plants growing at every corner of the room. The breeze coming from two of the huge windows in the room rattled the dream catchers dangling on the ceiling.I laid on a small but comfortable bed, and there was a cup of something sweet smelling beside me, and my throat longed for a drink.I contemplated taking the cup in between my lips when the door flung open, and Hazel walked in with an old woman who could barely walk."You are awake," Hazel said cheerily, sitting beside me on the bed, and picking up the cup from the table before han
One hundred and TenNaomiMama Genie refused to let us go without feeding us first, and after we ate, she handed us over to her helper, who had a horse.Hazel said he has always been in Mama Genie's life since when she was a child, and she never for once saw his face since he always wore a mask.He never spoke too. Just him and Dorothy, the horse. I wouldn't lie I was a bit spooked, but Mama Genie wore hair coats. The helper was the least weird thing about her.Putting an invisibility spell over us, Mama Genie bade us goodbye. "Don't forget little Wolf, never take that off. And wear the little one for your pup immediately it is born." She repeated, and i nodded, grateful for her help."Thank you, Mama Genie. "She gave a smile before turning to Hazel. "Missy."Hazel sighed, a smile on her face. "I wouldn't be scared anymore Mama. And I will use my sense."Mama cackled. "Thats my missy. Don't forget to visit." And with that, she sent us off. The journey of hours in the woods barel
One hundred and elevenXander.I practically raced downstairs to where Hazel stood, surrounded by the soldiers who weren't sure if she was a threat or not. But that didn't matter.What mattered was that she was here, and she was herself again.Her eyes met mine, and she tried to run to me, but the soldiers held her down."Let me go, I'm not a criminal!" She said struggling in their hold."Let her go." I commanded. The head soldier that also ushered me in eyed me, trying to gauge if he should obey me or not.He made his choice, tightening his hold on Hazel."She is a criminal. And can not be let in unless a leader says so."A groan almost left my lips until I saw Connor stroll down the stairs."Connor!" I called out to him, and he regarded me with an angry look. He still hated my guts and I hated him too."What do you want?" He asked, eyeing the situation. His eyes narrowed in realisation as they landed on Hazel and a smirk appeared on his lips."You need my help." He smirked, taunting
XanderImmediately those words left her beautiful mouth, i bunched up her dress, exposing her clean body, her pussy was already wet and I smirked as the wetness even soiled her panties.I slid a finger through her panties and pulled it off as slowly as I could, my eyes never leaving hers as she watched me in fascination, swallowing softly as I slid it past her feet and onto the grass beside us.She moaned as I hung her legs over my shoulders, not once breaking eye contact.She shook slightly and her once tearing eyes now stared at me, lust filled and I swallowed a groan. “You are so beautiful.” I whispered as I slid down her body, so that my lips were directly over her lips, if you know what I’m saying.I blew air into her slit and she whimpered. “Xander please.”I slid my finger lazily down her wet soft core and she shivered in and grabbed me tight as I slid my finger into her waiting pussy, a groan leaving my lips as she moaned, her walls clenching deliciously around my finger.“You
Xander and HazelXanderHazel and I have been together for a year as husband and wife. As the gamma of the kingdom, I have been assigned with many roles Seth trusted me with. Especially secruritunand assassination of criminals.Hazel, apart from being a mother, was also the pack witch.Our lives changed for the better after we became a family, and when our baby girl came, it became the best.We were in love with our family, and although things were hard, we still found time for each other.But recently things changed.Hazel and I began fighting more than ysual, and the sexual spark we had became nonexistent. It bothered me that our home wasn’t as nice as it used to be, but I had no idea how to fish it, or even how to start.We hardly saw each other anymore, and slowly I figured it wasn’t because of our duties.Hazel was avoiding me.Could I have done something? I’ve been nothing but loyal and devoted and seeing our love die a slow death caused my heart to ache in pain.I had to fix it
SethThe dinner party my parents hosted for my mother’s birthday was the first party Naomi and I were attending since Star was born and it felt good to be in the midsts of people who didn’t demand something from you every tens seconds, and the availability of plenty alcohol and snacks.Things we never allowed near the house because Alistar.I loved my baby boy. He was sharp and smart, and very stubborn too, just like every male he was related to. But he always took Naomi away from me.I wanted time with her and we almost never had time. But tonight, while he was with the baby sitters at the party, I planned to sneak Naomi back to the house and lock the doors.As if on cue, Naomi descended the stairs with a soft smile on her lips, and my eyes raked down her beautiful body which became even beautiful as she grew older.Her brown hair was packed on top her head in a messy yet classy bun, and she wore a beautiful mermaid cut dress, clinging onto her delicious curves. It was early in the n
ConnorThe last events ever since that night have proven one thing right, we needed a well deserved vacation.Aubrey finished her training as a warrior, and it was so damn sexy to know my mate was sexy, smart, beautiful and didn’t need me to kick some ass. It made me thirsty for her, like every other day.And she matched my vibe perfectly. She needed me too.We both deserved a vacation away from everyone. The kids didn’t make it easy and as their uncle and aunt, we suffered too much it made me wonder what their parents thought. They could be bundles of joy, but I need a weekend without hearing babies roar with tears every ten seconds.So we planned to go to a beach resort in the human world. Aubrey has never left the werewolf world, so I had to show her a lot of sights especially in this place called Hawaii.As we slid our backs down the floor as we arrived at our hotel, she let out a gleeful look. “Humans are really just us, but less attractive it’s so cute!”I laughed, “How’s that
AubreyMy heart raced with happiness as I tried to push the Naomi issue aside and focus on my mate, my man, my beta and the live of my life, Connor.He smirked at me as he pushed open his door, then didn’t even wait before closing the door to claim my mouth with his. My heart sparked with life as my wolf happily jumped around as we deepened the kiss, and his hands began to work on the straps of my dress.He pushed closed the door, and his attention was solely on me. “Make me the happiest man and fuck me.” He whispered causing my thighs to clench together in a desperate need for the sexy man that stood before me.He undid the straps and the dress came pooling down at my feet. My underwear wasn’t anything special, my chest was bare, and the underwear was lacy and thin, it being just a g- string. The dress warranted that I wear such an underwear, and I happily accepted my decision as Connor’s eyes swept over my body hungrily, his tongue farting to wetter his lips as his eyes fell to my
ConnorAs I made eye contact with Aubrey from across them hall and my wolf growled mate in a very animalistic manner, I wondered how I was so dense to have not noted the signs. The scent. The string delicious scent that made my mouth water every time it wafted in my nose.The smell of her arousal.Why I couldn’t stop thinking about her every second of the passing day..My wolf wanting to be around her every single dayShe was my mate, my other half, and I would have laughed in happiness if we didn’t have a crisis that would warrant us locking up her best friend.She was devastated as she cried for my to help her, but hearing that someone wanted to kill the king and having practiced proof to back it up was a tough thing to just push aside. I didn’t believe they claims against Naomi. Naomi would never do anything to hurt Seth, and it puked all be clear in the morning.And the party ended when Naomi was being taken away, Aubrey moved to follow her but I stopped her, pulling her into a
AubreyThe day has come, and i have never felt more depressed in my whole life. Naomi was practically brimming with life as we began getting ready for the ball, and all I could think about as I faked my happiness was who would I end up with and who would Connor end up with?As the chaos of the working maids and chatter filled the room where we got ready for the ball, I couldn't shake off the feeling of impending dread.Today would make it official. Once Connor finds his mate, he wouldn’t want to have anything to do with me again.I wanted him so bad it hurts. I wanted to get up from this chair where I sat while the make up artists poked and prodded my face, and I wanted to scream and run towards him and take all I said back, But I couldn't.Another sigh left my lips. I knew I had to put on a brave face, no matter how much it tore me apart inside. At the hall, when he finally finds his mate, I know I would have to pretend as if I was happy for him.Then I would leave the pack immediat
Aubrey“I love you.”I ran into my room, and landed onto the bed, bursting int tears as I fisted my bed tight.Connor loves me?He was so ready to sacrifice everything for me, and what did I say? But I knew if I had accepted, it would be mediocre. What if he finds his mate, more pretty and more fit to be a beta female? From a good family and his mother could approve of her.In every way different from me. And then the mate pull. I heard it was automatic, it was almost too hard to resist when you see the person and then you decide you’ve never felt anything like that.What if he finds his mate then sees he didn’t want me after all? What if he sees it wasn’t love he had for me, and that he loves her?I wouldn’t live with myselfAnd also, his mother.That witch made it clear what she was going to do to my family if I went against her.If I went against her and she does something to my family, the guilt would bury me alive.There were so many reasons why I couldn’t just jump into his ar
ConnorRushing back to the pack was a granted. Also was muting my phone to stop my mother from disturbing me with calls for the antidote I was not going to give her anytime soon.My driver aimed directly for Aubrey’s house.She didn’t men’s w hat she wrote in that letter, did she ?She couldn’t have. I felt it. It was different.It was supposed to happen. I couldn’t even imagine letting her go. I was a new man, she made me a new man and I couldn’t imagine my life without her now that she was in it.I hated this girl. Because of something my mother did.My mother has been the devil since forever but now she knows I’m never to be messed with.My feet carried me as fast as it could immediately the car stopped and I headed to the house one dark haired girl had described to me as the house where Aubrey and her family stayed. The minute I can, I would take them under my protection and give them the retirement they deserved.I ran my hand through my hair. I was getting ahead of myself. Could
