Melvina walked towards her mate, a bit worried. She knew that he was unwell, but she had been surprised when he had gone for the fortitude of a seat, after standing for barely fifteen minutes. It meant that his system was weakening. She blinked back the tears which were threatening to spill from her eyes(for she didn't want to lose him anytime soon), and quickened her steps, all the while, cursing that fateful day which he had been poisoned.The day had been sometime in August, three years ago. There had been a conference meeting which had involved her mate, his brother and the Alphas of some neighboring packs. The conference hadn't taken place in the pack, but at one of the other packs.And that had been where he had been poisoned.She hadn't known how it had happened, or who had been behind it, but her mate had been brought back by the Alpha of the Fauger's pack and one other pack, in a crippling situation on the night of the same day.She still remembered that fateful night like it
Lucille shouted when the sound of the gun shot resonated across the sitting room. Her eyes had been shut too.And perhaps that had been the reason for her astounded gasp the next minute when she opened her eyes and saw that the woman, Sheila, was still standing, her right hand at a ninety degree angle with her body, her palm fisted like she was holding something, and her eyes, oh, they were blazing with fury.More astonishingly, she wasn't bleeding.Lucille darted her gaze from Sheila to her stepfather. He was as astonished as she was, especially when Sheila opened her hand, and let the bullet fall from it. There was not a mark there.Yes, he was surprised, just like Maryanne too, but not daunted.For the next minute, he raised the gun to shoot again.But this time, Sheila was faster.She zapped past Lucille who watched with mouth agape, and knocked off both the man and the gun.She stepped her right foot, which was confined in a chunky boot, on the gun, not fazed at all, her eyes not
They were sitting down on the sofas.Silence reigned in the room.On the floor, beside the door that led to the passageway was Tyler. He was asleep.Lucille, alone on the smallest couch, still couldn't get out of her head how simple the woman had made it look.Immediately she had given her consent, the woman had squatted to Tyler's level, and for some reason which she knew had been part of the woman's doing, her stepfather hadn't been able to move or talk, not even when the woman had placed her palms at each side of his head, her fingers(the index especially) deep-seated on it.She had watched her mutter some intangible words for five minutes at most, before standing up.Tyler had fallen by the side, and had been asleep ever since.The woman had also assured them he would wake up, not knowing who he was.She would have had a hard time believing it, but for the gun incident. The woman wasn't normal. She thought. A witch perhaps."Thank you." Maryanne croaked out.She believed the woman
There was dead silence in the room. Emma sighed. Of course. No one knew the answers to their questions.That was left to her to find.And that was alright. She would do so, immediately the party ended.For now, she should get back to Derek.Turning around from the group ahead of her, she sized up the beast. It was still pounding on the walls of the red ball in all fury.Doesn't he get tired? She wondered, aware that Prescott was still right beside her."What should we do now? How do we get the necklace around his neck?" Prescott asked out aloud, knowing that none of the audience could hear him, apart from Freya.Emma thought, and thought.Nothing was forthcoming.She stared hard at the red ball, as if hoping for the magic feature to breathe some ideas into her head, but there was none.She whisked around sharply, feeling a presence behind her.Freya.What did she want?She thought, piquing her eyebrows at Freya who had been approaching her steadily, but had paused at Emma's sharp swi
Emma watched with wide eyes, in anticipation, as the beast surrendered to the power of the necklace, after some minutes of fighting it, and swiftly shifted to a tired and gasping Derek. Surprisingly, he was still in his suit.Emma didn't want to think on how he had managed that. She was just happy that he was okay.Quickly, she told the squirrel to remove the bonds.Prescott obliged of course, and Derek fell to the floor, terribly worn out.Before Emma could take more steps toward him, Melvina zapped past her and knelt before her son, holding to himself and muttering comforting words.Emma understood. She was sure that the woman was crying. She would cry if she was the one too.So, she waited.Watching as Derek stood up, watching as Melvina smoothed his suit from creases, still watching until their gazes met.Time stood still.She didn't know which of them started the run first. But all she knew was that they were in each other's arms, before she could say 'Jack'.Inhaling in his deep
Emma gulped in nothing, her head bent so low, as Derek broke the kiss. She sighed in gratefulness, when he hugged her to himself, preventing her from being so embarrassed if she should turn around to face the others.What was wrong with her? She thought, biting her lips, pressing her forehead more tighter on his chest, as if to sink the entirety of herself into him. What was it about Derek that made her a sex maniac, a female animal on heat, whenever she came close to him? Worse, it had been enhanced by the fact that they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Even right now, nestled and safe within his arms, her breasts still ached for want of his touch and lips, and her wetness throbbed. She was not satisfied.'Emma, stop behaving like you are on heat!' She cautioned herself but to no avail, rather she found her hands circling Derek's waist, her right hand stealthily and slowly slipping into his suit from the back. Feeling him stiffen as her hand found the smooth and hard plains o
Emma's silence at Melvina's question almost gave Derek a heart attack. He panicked, although not visible on his exterior features, thinking that his little witch wouldn't want a life with him, after finding out about his true nature. He wasn't even sure he would be able to let her go if she rejected him."Emma, they are waiting for your answers." Prescott told a quiet Emma telepathically, and she nodded, signifying that she knew.She was actually thinking about her family, about Amelia. She hasn't spoken to her sister in like forever, and now she was leaving her to be a luna in some pack. Would Amelia even believe her? What of her parents? Even if there was the possibility that they weren't her real parents, they had still trained her well, at least she hadn't lacked the basic comfort, or slaved away as a housemaid. They had the chance to do that, and they hadn't. For that, she was grateful.So, how could she leave them?"Babe, don't you want to stay with me?" She heard Derek ask her,
Derek opened the door to his room hurriedly, and immediately Emma stepped in, he pushed her gently to the wall and claimed her lips.Emma protested with a grunt, when he broke away the next minute. He pecked her lips, before going over to the door.Giddy with happiness and need, he locked up his door, not wanting anyone to interrupt them during this beautiful event he had been longing for a long time.That done, he returned back to her."I missed you." He muttered, but Emma pulled him down to her, not in the mood for small talk. He lifted her up then, smiling satisfactorily as she slid her legs across his waist, Instantly it brought her hot core of femininity, liquid with need, to press fully against his thick, fierce arousal, since she was wearing a thin pant underneath the gown. Derek groaned aloud, every sane thought, every good intention, flying out of his head. In its place was a need so strong and urgent that he fastened his mouth fiercely to hers. In primitive, stormy, almo
