As soon as she sat, he took the seat in front of her. He decided he had to go on with all he had in his mind. "Eloise… after today, I will never bother you again…" He started, and her eyes widened, a new fear formed in her. "I am here to make sure you are safe, and you are well, but I noticed that the lack of humanity in me is only hurting you. I am not happy about this, and I wish I could change it, but it might be too late for a creature like me to change anything…" As he spoke those words, he felt more and more obliged to be honest. "I sensed your scent in my brother, and the essence behind it made me feel in a way long forgotten. I wanted nothing more than to meet you, be with you… I sensed what it is my soulmate in you Eloise, and that scared me…" He paused to let the words sink in for her, and she was absolutely shocked of what she was hearing. "The world was changing, and I was one of those fighting for that change… all while my mind was set in you… I am a beast, it is my nature
VOLUME TWO: SIMPLY BOUND"I would spit in your face if there was a possibility for me to produce spit… but for now, this is the best I can do…" Aeneas sank his fangs on the shoulder of his opponent and he screamed, just as he himself fought back and sank the talons in his chest. "That will leave a scar…""You and I both know good and well neither of us will win in this fight… why do you want to push the limit of my patience?" the attacker growled at Aeneas just as he received a hit in the guts."Back off from what you said you wanted to do… and I will stop…" Aeneas repeated just before he sent another hit to the man's throat.The man bent over and coughed; for vampires, a hit in the throat seemed to have the same result as a hit in the groin would do to a human. He started coughing blood and then he grunted. He tilted his head slightly to meet Aeneas' eyes and growled."Tis not what I want… tis what I will do… and you won't stop me from meeting my Anima Alterum…" His eyes glowin
*Caleb*Slowly I begin to regain conscience and my thoughts get completely centered in one person; Meadow. My eyes shot open and I growl as a sharp pain pierces through my skull. 'Meadow… where are you?' I try to reach her but I can't feel her.My eyes adjust to the light and I see Aeneas and another figure exchanging curses. I don't even care how or why they are here, I need to find Meadow. "Meadow…!" I yell and I see her peak from behind Aeneas, I relax after our eyes meet."Caleb… are you… are you ok?" Her voice is shaky and I slowly get up from the bed.What the hell happened? The last thing I remember was me closing the windows in our room and then, without warning, something broke in and I was never even able to sense it. This is not normal, even with my guards down I could always sense a creature of a different race approaching.I can see Aeneas standing protectively in front of Meadow and my rage takes over, without wasting time, I shift and become one with my wolf.I s
*Meadow*My wolf was beginning to hold a grudge on me, but now that I and Caleb are running around the island as our primal animals, she is happy and free.It feels different, I admit, the sand under my paws. It is almost like it gets into every part of my fur; it doesn't bother me, it just feels strange. We run past several palm trees and we reach a small waterfall and dive in; the place is beautiful but is not the same as our magical waterfall, where we went together so many things. I am more than certain that I am ready to go back; I miss my daily simple activities as a Luna, to talk to our people, to visit different locations and give my opinion about what I think we could do to improve our accommodations or simply make things better. Caleb has been the most supportive partner and the most attentive husband.'A penny for your thoughts...' He whispers to my mind as we both shift to our human forms; my mental walls are getting stronger.'I think this place is beautiful…' I repl
*Meadow*I am so excited. As we get down from the plane, I see Cara and Alex waiting for us; she is looking gorgeous with her pregnant belly and a summer dress, he is looking radiant next to her. She almost runs to me and we hug tightly, barely, and I see Caleb shake Alex's hand and then hug."Welcome back Alpha, Luna." Cara starts and bows her head.I laugh and shake my head. "Leave the formalities for another moment... how are you?""I am really well, not even having cravings for the moment." She smiles at me."May the Goddess help me when she starts getting them." Alex comments and we all laugh.Caleb slides his arm around me and I smile. "So... what is our agenda?" I ask as I snuggle against him."We are going to your office first, then to the cemetery, and finally to the house. Tomorrow at noon we are taking a plane to our pack's home." Alex begins to give us our schedule and I can't help but to smile. They included a visit to my mom before we go home."Then let's get st
*Caleb*I feel Meadow's head rub against my chest as I hold her tight to me. We are heading to the house and we made a little stop at McDon… Yeah, I am not going to say its full name again, last time I did as a joke, she craved for a burger. This time though, she wanted a Caesar Salad. No matter how many restaurants I would name, she only wanted one from there. After we finished, she was happy and pleased, and we could finally resume our ride."Do you think Julius would be available to help Vi?" She asks half whispering, her eyes closed and a pleasant smile on her lips."If we ask, he will do it." I reply amused. She is so sweet and cute now that she gotten what she wanted. I didn't know her pregnancy would be such an adventure, for the both of us."No, I don't want to impose. I want to ask him if he is available. If he is busy we shouldn't bother him unless it is something important." She added and I sighed. She is always the heart warming one."Fine, maybe Kade can help her."
*Meadow*I know this is strange, but I miss my mom. Today I woke up thinking of her, and how much I miss her. Caleb never asked me about my father, and I am grateful of that, I think he knows that there was never a fatherly figure in my life. He left me and her when I was 9 years old, I don't remember most of my young years, but I remember the day he left, my mother was crying, he didn't care, and he never even looked at me. Yes, it was always me and mom. And today I miss her.We are crossing the limits of our territory and I feel the pulse of our pack. They are running wild and free, most of them heading our way to greet us. Caleb puts his arms around me and kisses the top of my head. 'I am sorry about your father… I could kill him with my own hands if I knew you would forgive me for it… but even I know there are limits… So I will just do my best to be all you ever need and be a good father for our children.'I release a few tears as I hear his words, he is too good to be true, alw
*Kade*I don't know if I should laugh or growl at the situation, she is beautiful, talkative and smart, with a witty character. And I am just the opposite. Well, I'd like to think I am smart at least.She is fighting with Her mate pull, which I know she is feeling, and I feel sorry for her. No one deserves to be tied up with someone like me. I have to see if there is a way to let her go, if I can break the mate bond and release her from all possible suffering. She is young and full of life, she doesn't deserve to be tied to me.I excuse myself from the room at noon and she agrees to take some time for lunch, before the candidates start to arrive. She tried to be polite by inviting me to lunch, but I gently declined the idea. Having my phone with an app that allows me to express easily, I said I had to quickly meet a client during lunch.I am not going to report to my Alpha yet, I want to see if I can break the bond before I have to let him know.~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~{@}~~ ~~ ~~
