Rising From The Ashes 27- Unloved
Drax POV"We don't have a favorite, son.That's a stupid thing to say.We love you both equally"Liars.Both my parents were liars.Clearly they have a favorite and it's Zion.Always and forever Zion.The best.The perfect.Always sugar coating their manipulation when it comes to confrontation, when it comes to acknowledge what I have been feeling.It's always stupid.My feelings and concerns were always labeled stupid.A rough chuckle leaves my lips, edging with so much pain that I, still, after years can't feel the other way.Can't let go of these emotions that pain me.The series of words that cut deep, scratching the years old wound and tonight, my dear Loving brother Zion added more to it.I don't care about my parents death?A laugh reverberated out of my chest, surprising me as well.I shook my head, staring far in the sky that was covered with countless stars, shining brightly."You might have lost them now Zion but I lost them years ago.I don't make a fuss out of it like you do.I don't
Rising From The Ashes 28- An attempt to seduction
Where does she live? She is a new resident, not even an official yet she was nowhere in the guestroom section of the Pack House."Where are you sweetheart?" I thought, while speeding up my bike, the breeze against my skin makes me feel alive.My second favorite thing is bike riding and damn do I absolutely go feral with it.Reminds me of my wolf.Every time.My sad trance was cut short upon seeing the girl I was searching for.Dark long wavy hair flowing down her waist, resting a little above her hips as she walks in those flared jeans.That's definitely her.I don't even need her to turn around to confirm, it's the way she walks that's imprinted in my mind.The powerful walk like she is ready to hunt down someone.There's just something so attractive about a fierce woman.The first time I saw her on the road, I purposely splashed dirt on her clothes.I just wanted a reason to take a close look at her.And man did she impress me with that hit although it pinched to see the damage on my bike b
Rising From The Ashes 29- Strange emotions
Elysia PovWe were walking for hours now, only getting deeper into the woods instead of getting out.I couldn't say anything to Drax because first, it's my fault that I threw his keys.Second, he looks a little too good and it's not healthy for me.The moment he stares at me, or speaks and does that flirty eye thing, a whole zoo of butterflies erupts in my stomach.Its weird and embarrassing.He is attractive, I won't deny that but the way I feel around him is something that scares me.I feel carefree unlike with every other men's presence.Even Zion, his presence makes me anxious and somewhat scared.The urge to hide from them is always strong but with this man, there's just something different.His electric blue eyes are soft, alluring and it's hard to not be lost in them.I shouldn't be feeling this way towards him.I don't even know him properly.I sigh, the exhaustion weighs down my bones and I stop by one of the huge trees, resting my palm against it for support.I look behind where Drax
Rising From The Ashes 30- Distress
I stepped back, slowly out of his hold and the more I look at his blank face, the more I feel ashamed of my actions.Oh how I wish this ground to open up and swallow me than spending another second filled with awkwardness here.It's better to keep my mouth shut.I stood there frozen, head filled with countless thoughts of regret until Drax cleared his throat and began to move.I quietly followed him, not knowing where we were heading to but as long as I didn't have to talk it's all good.After a while of walking, he stopped and signaled me to stop as well.He looked around, and I too sensed a shift in the air."What's going on?" I barely whisper out as fear settles in my chest.I scoot closer to Drax who stares down at me for a fraction of second before looking around the dark forest."Someone's here" He said quietly.It only worsened my anxiety.A cripple noise of branch snapping behind us ring in my ear causing me to flinch and scoot further close to Drax.We both look in the direction of
Rising From The Ashes 31- A meet with Zion
Elysia PovI have made up my mind to face Nikona, my biggest fear but there's a lot that needs to be done in order to attend the event.I can't go alone.Having to face him again might trigger me and I don't want to appear weak in front of him.It's only going to boost his ego.But who do I take with me? I don't trust anyone enough nor am I friends with anyone.Miss Julia and I are only professional.Sage is a nice option but her position in the Pack requires her more.I heave out a tired sigh, my mind is a jumbled mess.Chitter-chatter of the kids rings in my ear constantly.Miss Julie has put me in charge of three to five years old and it's more chaotic than the one and two years old.My ears at this point have gotten used to their constant noises.They are kids, curious little kids but damn is it exhausting to pay attention to each one of them.My eyes travel down to the one boy who was clutching onto my pants.Frowning, I bent down and asked him what's wrong.Once he tells me his need to us
Rising From The Ashes 32- His desires for Her
Drax POVI see Monica's lips moving, but her voice has stopped registering in my brain.All I could think of is the kiss from Elysia.I have never had a girl initiate a kiss before.It threw me back and took me a long minute to realize that I have been kissed so tenderly.Unfortunately, she had pulled away before I could function again.It just felt so different.Why? I am pressuring my brain to come up with something convincing because no way in hell am I being this affected by a kiss.I am a ladies man.It's no big deal yet my brain malfunctioned in her hold.Maybe…maybe because it's been a long time since I had sex.Yes! Definitely it's the reason.I slam my fist against my palm at the joy of finding a convincing reason."What's gotten into you bitch? I've been observing since morning you are acting like a possessed piece of annoying shit" Monica's voice finally rings in my ear, breaking me out of my thoughts."What?" I ask.She throws her hands in the air as disbelief morphs her face."No
Rising From The Ashes 33- Into His Arms
Elysia PovAfter my conversation with Zion, my brain couldn't stop thinking about his beef with Nikona.If it's bad then I can possibly take advantage of it and use his help but he has already declared his disinterest towards me which means I can't lure or manipulate him through mate bond.Zion is not an easy nut to crack.Perhaps, mate loss made him the way he is now.Funny how mate bond is heaven for some and hell for others.A tap on my shoulder brought me out of my depressive trance.I turned around and found no one then felt another tap at the back of my head.I whip my head around quickly, catching the sight of a familiar male figure trying to move behind.I grab him by the hem of his shirt, halting his silly actions.A goofy grin formed on his lips, my eyes too occupied on his curly black locks that were an absolute mess.How he still managed to look insanely handsome is beyond my understanding."Boo hoo" He says quietly, still grinning down at me.I shake my head in disbelief.He lea
Rising From The Ashes 34- Her Past
Drax POVI sat there with her in my arms, letting shock consume me at her words.She can sense my scent? To say I am both confused and hopeful would be an understatement.My wolf has been shut down for a decade.I tried everything, visited every known physician for years but nothing worked and the reason for my gone wolf is still unknown.It was painful to accept that my wolf is no longer with me.However, I did and now this girl is telling me otherwise.I can't even sense my own scent.Zion couldn't either so it's mind-boggling coming from her.That means there's hope.My wolf is still there.I didn't realize the smile that took over my face until my cheeks started to ache and I relaxed my features.The door to the room quietly opens, revealing Julia's frame to my sight.Her brows creased into a deep scowl and she hesitated for a good minute while looking between me and Elysia.I picked Elysia's asleep body in my arms and got off the chair before looking around the desk for her handbag.I gra

Against my better judgment, I step inside and walk towards the windows to open them, letting the smoke clear out from the room.Behind me, I sense him move.Turning around, I set my eyes to his displeased frame now sitting on the bed and already staring at me with annoyance.“Did you not hear me?” He groaned, bringing the cigarette to his mouth.I rushed towards the bed and snatched the cigarette from his hand.Ignoring the shift of anger in his eyes, I throw the cigarette on the floor and step on it with my shoes.“I did hear you and I am not leaving” I affirm, holding my ground.Drax stares at me for a moment before laying down on the bed and fetches out a pack of cigarette from his pocket.Groaning in disbelief, I attempt to snatch the pack but he blocks me with his free arm.“Stop bothering me and go plan whatever the heck you want with Zion.Both of you suit each other.Dumb and dumber” He hissed bitterly before shoving my hand away.I didn't let his words hurt me rather I find it amusi
Rising From The Ashes Chapter 53
We all sat in the living room as I shared my opinion regarding my son.Zion seems to be calm and positive about this revelation but on the other hand, Drax seems to be lost in a deep thought.His brows remain narrowed in a deep slits, lips pressed together into a thin line and hands resting against the armrest , tapping the fabric ever so slowly.“He isn't so boring after all” Xander's voice rings in the quiet room.Tearing my eyes off Drax, I glance around the room before sighing in distress.Ian might be gifted but it's still a scary thought.What if he ends up hurting himself? He is too young to understand anything.He could possibly harm himself.“As good as it appears to me, I think it would be better to not mention anything about using the gift to him.Just as you said, Ian responded to Xander's constant demand.If not under right guidance and protection, Ian can harm others and most specifically himself” Zion shared his piece of thoughts, which matches with my concern.“That's what I a

I heard footsteps reaching up to me from behind. I turn around quickly only to bump my head into something firm.“Careful, sweetheart” Drax's soft voice wafts across my ears.I step back and look up at him.‘Ian.. Find him please” I hardly manage to push out the words as a lump formed in my throat.My nerves spiked with worry.Placing his both hands on my shoulders, Drax attempts to reassure. “We will find him, just don't forget to breathe”I nod slowly, before turning to the maid who looks just as concerned now. “Please check the mansion and inform me if you find Ian”She nods in return before turning to walk away into the corridor.Drax and I also started to search for Ian.After checking almost all the rooms, I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.I opened the last room and to my surprise, Zion was working out.Upon sensing my abrupt presence in his room, he stopped midway through his push-ups and looked at me.His confused eyes are replaced with concern real instant then he gets up t

This might be the first time I enjoyed sex.It was a bliss to come undone in Drax's arms.He was just so into giving me pleasure that it turned me on even more.That's how I ended up going on with multiple orgasms.The faucet was already off, but the steam around us made the moment more intense.Drax kept his arm around me as I was resting on his lap with my back pressed against his chest.No words were exchanged between us except the gentle touches here and there.It felt truly relaxing.I slowly ran my fingers on his thigh in a slow circular pattern, noticing the way his muscles clenched and that simply made my core throb.I sigh, leaning my head against his shoulder.His lips slowly brush against my neck, then leaving lazy kisses down my shoulder.His hands leave my waist and move up to grab my breast.I sigh out loud, losing myself completely with his touch.My eyes flutter open when I feel his hardness beneath me.I was too sensitive but yet my body craved for more.I slowly started to grin

Before I could trip down the porch of my parents house, I made sure to not let the impact cause any harm to Ian.I balance myself just fine before setting my gaze to my mother who had no remorse of her actions.Rage was plastered on every inch of her face that it hurt my chest physically to receive such a reaction from someone that loved me all these years.“Mom..”“Don't you dare call me that!” She screamed on top of her lungs, the noise so high pitched that Ian woke up and started crying.My mom's eyes shifted to Ian, her furious eyes almost melted but she inhaled a deep breath and pointed her finger at me.“Leave and don't ever show up.This is the least I expect from you”She attempts to slam the door shut but I move forward and hold the door before it could close.“Please… I didn't kill her.It was Nikona..I never meant for her to go through any of it.I swear, I begged him to let her live but he didn't” I was desperate to explain myself.To prove that I was not the one behind my best f

Chapter 49“I don't understand” I whispered, not getting anything at all.The boy remains silent, just looking at me with the same blank face.“A shadow walker is something that is made by doing some horrific ritual through dark magic. It's impossible to succeed in it but if one do so, there's so much that can turn out wrong.This boy is epitome of evil.A Threat to us all”As Drax explains all about Shadow walker to me, I couldn't help but feel sad.He is just a little boy.The boy frowned, glaring at Drax in displease before walking towards us.That sets Drax into panic, he pushes me completely behind him and positions himself to fight the boy.“Drax this is‐ I pause mid sentence after hearing a low chuckle which came from the boy itself. “Your heart is beating too fast.Your head is running with countless thoughts and you are a couple minutes away from having a panic attack.How are you going to fight me when every remaining cell in your body screams for help” The boy says casually, h

“You see, an arrogant filthy leader often has enemies within his supposedly loyal people” Drax says with a tint of amusement in his tone as he swiftly approaches me, pushing Nikona ‘s father to the side on his way.“Sweetheart, you did good.I got this from here” The tone of his voice softened as he stroked my cheek with his thumb.My heart swelled with relief.“I mixed wolfsbane with my own hands and saw you intake the meal then how is it possible to still not die!” Nikona exclaimed in anger.Drax laughed as he turned to him, keeping me behind.“I'm upset you did so much but didn't feed me with your hand.It would've been great” Drax jokes, his eyes flicking from Nikona to Zion who approaches him from behind and grabs the back of his neck, earning a painful hiss.“You are quite a fool to indulge yourself in a conversation other than thinking of ways to save yourself.But again, your rotten brain isn't used enough” Zion says before dragging Nikona to the wall and slams his head straight i

I feel the anger bubble deep inside me and when he moves to charge at me, it feels like a strong rush of energy surge through me.My hand moves fast and strikes to his face, claws whips out of my fingers and pierce through his skin.A loud groan leaves his lips as he stops in his track, shocked just as I was.I look down at my hand, my claws covered with his blood.That means my wolf is still with me.Confidence burst through my chest at the discovery.A smile creeps up my lips but a menacing growl from Nikona tears away my attention.“You filthy bitch!” He for all lunges forward.I prepare myself to dodge his hit but an invisible force shoves him away from me.He goes flying straight to the dining table and crashes on it causing chaos to erupt.I was yet to find out how it was happening in the first place.There's this unknown source of power that is preventing Nikona from harming me.I look ahead where Nikona collects himself from the broken table and gets up before shifting into his wolf.

Nikona's lips were mere inches from mine.I don't realize when and how but my Hands moved fast and pushed him away.What shocked me was the way he flew back and crashed against the door before falling down on the floor with a heavy thud.My eyes widened as I stared at his crouched frame before looking back at my hands.Where did I get that strength from to push Alpha that far away.An omega can never possess such strength.“You!” Nikona hissed, as he slowly rise himself from the floor. “What is wrong with you? I am trying to fix things but that doesn't mean you will treat me however you please”He steps forward furiously, hands balled into fists.For a moment, I thought he was going to hit me but that didn't happen, instead he looked between me and Ian.“Look…” Nikona sighed, “I am really trying.My wolf is still agitated and in pain.I am sure yours feel the same. We can make it work if you stop pushing me away”“Don't try to touch me again.You don't have that right” I said, crossing my a
