His chin was resting on hisintertwined fingers.He almost resembled that fat cat from the cartoonmy brother used to love as a kid - What's the name of it again? - oh yes,Garfield and Friends."So how about you, MIKE TYSON, don't you wantsome more pancakes?"HOLY FUCK, HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!Gerard's fork fell with a loud clunking noise tothe floor.Mom had an 'oh shit' look on her face.Dad's mouth was wide open in shock, showcasing theunchewed piece of pancake.Grandpa's pearly whites were in full view. Leaveit to this man to turn serious situations into a joke.Suddenly, I heard booming laughter. I looked overand saw Gerard's eyes were shut tight as he erupted in laughter. I guess Ididn't punch him hard enough.Grandpa followed next, laughing like there was notomorrow. He stretched his arm and gave Gerard, who was sitting next to him, alittle squeeze on the shoulder."Dad, I don't appreciate you making fun of asituation like this," my dad said as he spat the unchewed
GABRIELLE'S POVGerry got up and opened the door. I didn't know why,but I was eager to meet this girl.Call it a hunch, but something told me I wasn'tgoing to like her."Oh my Gawd, G-Bear, what happened to yourface?" A concerned sounding high-pitched voice screeched through my ears.This girl sounded like Jennifer Tilly.Did she just call him, G-Bear? I think I'll becalling him that from now on. It suits him.Gerry went in for a hug while he spoke, "It'snothing for you to worry about. I just had a minor accident.""Ohhhh, you want me to kiss it and make itbetter?" She asked in a sultry voice.I guess this girl didn't get the memo of thembeing just friends."Stop it! My family is looking," Gerrywhisper yelled as he peeked at us over his shoulders. "Just come in."I heard her giggling as she made her way inside.A long-legged blonde bombshell now stood beforeus. She was hot in a fake plastic sort of a way. She had on a tight red dressthat barely covered anything.What did she
I placed my phone next tome on the bed. I was exhausted. I snuggled in the sheets and fell asleep.The next morning Chastity left. She promised tocome back for a visit as soon as Mom gave birth.Grandpa was the saddest of us to see her go.It was Sunday, so Gerry decided to go visit hisold friends Larry and Dane.I spent the remainder of the day in bed eatingDoritos and watching Sixteen Candles. I just love me some Molly Ringwald.On Monday night Grandpa left to go back home toFlorida.After Grandma Ellen died, Mom and Dad invited himto come live with us, but his stubborn old ass declined.I missed my bestie. So with Grandpa gone, I couldfinally go see my favourite girl tomorrow afternoon. I decided to send her atext.*Gabz* Hey girl - I miss you ?It took a few minutes for her to reply.*Haze* Aww, I miss you 2. ???*Gabz* What are you doing?*Haze* I'm catching up on my paintings.This girl was really talented. She sings anddances but her paintings were unbelievable.*Gabz*
ALPHA'S POVI had been in my office struggling to get some pack business done. But Icouldn't seem to concentrate much. My mind kept on reiterating the events ofthis morning.My wolf was positive he detected our mate earlier. The scent of lavender andchocolate still lingered in my nose. It was driving my wolf and me insane, andI was getting hard!REAL HARD!CONCRETE HARD!Maybe Carson was right, I need to get laid."No! We need to find our mate! She is out there waiting for us." Mywolf, Gidian declared.Every werewolf can communicate with their wolf through what we call amind-link. Members of the same pack also acquire the ability to mind-link eachother."It's not that easy Gidian, we don't even know if who we detected was her."My wolf had been in my head all day tormenting the shit out of me.The scent didn't belong to a pack member, plus I'm positive it was human."I'm telling you, it was her, nobody can tell me otherwise. Don't youtrust me?"Why would he ask me a question l
I went to take ashower, but it wasn't helping the painful erection I now had. The smell wastorturing me. I had to get relief."Fuck It!" I mind-linked Carson and told him to tell Nicole to go tothe guest quarters.I am going to fuck her raw tonight.Gidian was in turmoil. He didn't know what to do at this point.I pull on a shorts. My erection was making a tent in them.I ran a hand through my wet hair and headed towards the guest quarters.She-wolves were eyeing me in the hallway, I could smell their arousals as Ipassed them by.No doubt it was the fact that my erection was on full display, plus as Carsonsaid, I was built like a God.But still, the only thing I could think about was lavender and chocolate.I arrived in the room but she wasn't there, so I mind-linked Carson again."Where the fuck is she?""She should be there any second now, you waited eight months so a few moreseconds won't kill you.""You know if I was next to you right now I'd kick you so hard you mightdie."
ALPHA'S POV"Alpha! Alpha!" Carson woke us up from our nap as he shouted throughour pack link.We were still in the woods near the stream, and it was the early hours of themorning.I didn't need to ask if something was wrong. I could feel it."Carson, where are you?""We're at the Northeastern border.""I'm on my way."We arrived in record time. The stench of death permeated the air.There were dead wolves scattered all over.ROGUES!Two charred bodies caught my eyes.Were those witches?Declan, my Gamma and third in charge, was the first to realise that I'vearrived. "Alpha!" He bowed in respect.The heads of the other warriors were now focused on me.I was still in my wolf form, but with the snapping of bones, hands and feetreplaced my paws."Somebody get me some clothes!" I used my Alpha tone.I heard shuffling of feet and within no time someone handed me a shirt andtrousers.I slipped into the trousers and then slid the shirt on my torso.In war, there were always casualties.
"So Alpha, what's the first thing youwould like me to answer?""Why did you kill the other two witches?"She wasted no time to explain. "I needed the blood of two witches to breakthrough the barrier that's surrounding your lands," she explained dryly.It was true, my parents got a white witch to cast a protection spell around ourborders eighteen years ago.The white witch who cast the spell is known as Isis. She still lives on ourland. We didn't bother her, and she does the same for us."But you needed the blood of two white witches to do so."She looked at me and laughed. I immediately understood what that sinister laughmeant. She sacrificed two innocent witches.I couldn't wait to behead her, then burn her remains."Let's move on, I don't have all day. I have spells to cast and lives totake."She was there grinning, waiting for me to ask my last question. But that smilewas soon to be gone from her twisted face."So tell me all you know about this Chosen One you're looking for
HAZEL'S POVToday is the day; the day Gerard is coming over.I was so nervous.I was pacing back and forth.What do you say to a guy who sleeps with you andthen forgets about it the next day?I don't know, I sighed to myself.Maybe I was just bad at sex!Maybe I was just unforgettable!Ahh! This is so frustrating.I needed to get a grip on myself.I was interrupted from my chain of thoughts by theringing of my phone.Ring*Ring*Ring*I looked at the caller ID and smiled."Hello Gabz," I greeted my bestie."Hey babe, how are you holding up?""I'm super nervous," I told hertruthfully."There's nothing to be nervous about. Mybrother is the one who should be nervous. Remember, you're smart, beautiful andyou look like a sex goddess!" She tried to boost my confidence."Thank you Gabz, you always know what to sayto make me feel better even though what you say sometimes ain't true.""When have I ever lied to you?" Sheasked me. I could hear the hurt in her voice."Just now on the phone w
Alfonso led the group through the secret underground passageway beneath the castle. The air suddenly gained a musty, damp smell, the smell of death and decay. Nobody spoke until they reached a grey door hidden in the wall. “This is it, the entrance to the library.” Alfonso whispered.“And you're certain no one will be in there?” Alpha Zander double-checked. He replayed the plan over and over in his head, but something didn't feel right in the pit of his stomach. “Yes I'm sure. Prince Magnus or his guards never come here. They stay in the North and West wing of the castle.” Alfonso exhaled as he pressed the indention in the wall and the door quietly slid open. “Let's go, but be quiet.”Declan was the first person who tried to enter through the door. Zander yanked him back by his collar. “Where the fuck do you think you're going?”“I cannot stay behind Alpha. Maddox and I will go mad if we don't go to her.”“Declan, you can't go,” Lucinda warned. “But she's my mate,” he yelped.“I kn
ANONYMOUS POV"Blink! Blink!" Alpha Zander tried to coax himself. He still seemed to believe his ears had deceived him. Did the queen just say Hazel was with child? He asked himself and his wolf, Gidian answered. "That is undoubtedly what she said. Not that it's impossible, but how come we can't smell our pup inside her?"Zander's fingers stroked the side of his Luna's face, who wasn't moving an inch. "I don't know, but I think Lucinda knows why," Zander replied telepathically to his wolf. The way how Lucinda was staring told him she had some idea of what was going on. Currently, he didn't know what to make of the situation.The other werewolves were thinking the same. Confusion, excitement, and concern were only a few emotions that were swirling around in the air. And also staining the air with an enormous punch was fear. Fear of what this may mean for Luna Hazel. James remembered the first time he smelt his son growing inside Sue-Ling, the she-wolf he was set to marry. A wave of
HAZEL'S POVShe looks like me; I thought, or maybe I look like her. My hair was still dripping wet as I trudged back to the hideout. Maddox dashed off so quickly before I could even get two sentences in. I knew he didn't mean to peep on me, and it was my fault, anyhow. I knew better than to be taking baths in lakes in places that were strange to me. But I was just so irritated and my blood seemed hot, so I had to cool down. I promised myself I'd talk with Declan when I saw him. My footsteps were silent as I hiked up to the others. Lucinda's head fell backward as she laughed, just the way I always do. Her nose was a clone of mine, and her hair, though it was styled in many braids, was the same length as mine, just a bit more kinky. I glared at the woman who left me at birth, my eyes welled with tears. There were so many times I wished I had her around when I was growing up. I quickly blinked back my tears and proceeded toward them. My stomach churned the way Isis was treating her; l
DECLAN'S POVThis was torment, real torture. My wolf and I couldn't help but stare. Like glue, our views were stuck on our Luna bathing in the river. Her waist-length hair was dripping wet and delicately settled over her shoulder. Her rear was to us, and her bodacious backside was making my appendage jerk in need. I would rather not be there anymore. I wanted to go, but Maddox's paws kept creeping forward closer to her. “What are you doing?" I urged my wolf. “Let's go back."“I can't. There's something in the air telling me she is my mate," he explained. I wanted to agree with him since I felt it too. But out of respect and love for my alpha, I had to do the right thing. “But she isn't. She belongs to our Alpha and this is wrong," I told him. This caused him to stop, but not before stepping on a twig. The sound startled Hazel and made her to turn hastily in our direction. She was ringing out the excessive water from her hair. Maddox went into a panic when his eyes engaged with hers
Poor James stood completely frozen in front of his mate. His companions were just as mesmerized by the woman they saw. Her hair was woven into long micro-braids that touched the small of her back. Her Nubian nose was a little different, it had a tiny jewel that glinted on the left side. But the ebony-black skin, the wispy eyelashes, the plump coral lips, and the eyebrows that were always turned up at the inward tips, furrowed, as if judging everything you're doing, were exactly as James remembered. His eyes raked her figure. She seemed more mature, and he liked that. It had been 19 years since he'd seen her, so of course she'd look different. But one thing was for sure: she was even more beautiful than ever. “Lucinda,” James whispered. “Is it really you?” He held his breath and closed his eyes. Lucinda stretched out her fist and ran her palm over his cheek. James gasped for air, leaning into her touch. His frame erupted with sparks at every juncture of his body. “Yes, my love. It i
Hazel grew up watching fairytales on Disney Channel. She puckered her lips and kissed the Frog Prince with Tiana. Just like Belle, she fell in love with the Beast. She and Gabrielle danced with Pocahontas in the wind, and she can't forget when she fought a war with Mulan. Fairytales had always been her thing. So her imagination conjured up what she thought the Fae World would look like; gold, silver, and shimmer everywhere. She even pictured pink talking clouds that tasted like cotton candy. But to her dismay, she wasn't prepared for the truth.The portal vanished with a tremendous cracking sound, like glass being broken, leaving our nine supernatural friends stupefied. There was no wind in the Fae World. Pieces of the sky were falling like dried paint from a wall. “Is this it, Mommy? Is this where you're from?" Tia looked up to a teary-eyed Cedella. Her ghostly tears were the only shimmering detail Hazel saw. Cedella couldn't answer her daughter. The only thing she could do was moa
I DO NOT WRITE FOR A LIVING. I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR. I work 16 hours every day except for Fridays. I work doubles every day because I have a mortgage and bills to pay. I have people who depend on me for survival. I just do not have the time to write. On Fridays I am busy cooking meals to last me throughout the week, doing my laundry, house shopping, running errands, or most importantly, sleeping. For those who can't wait for updates. Then do what I do as a reader, don't start a book that's not completed. I have a life outside of writing. The only reason I'm even writing this right now is because I am at a friend's baby shower and I had to ask this day 3 weeks in advance. Anyone can be upset, frustrated, or angry but I will not tolerate disrespect. If you can't wait, which I do understand, it has been forever since I've updated, but just forget about this book and move on to another book that's completed. No need to act all grimy over here. TF you think you are.
DIMITRI'S POVMy ears kept ringing, tuning out the tautologies of the merman. My bloodlust increased, and my body couldn't fathom what I just learnt. I sunk my fangs into my bottom lip out of anger. “Impossible!” Zander raged. Gidian was reeling at the forefront, ready to rip into someone. Maybe me. And Alpha Zander wasn't even trying to hold him back. “Are you sure?”“Yes. I'm sure of it.” The merman stated. “And what says you two?” Zander asked the witches. “I—I am not certain. The child calls Lucifer uncle, so we thought she was his kin,” Freya let out. “That would explain Zoey's protectiveness of her. Plus the child did seem attached to Zoey,” Prudence wondered out loud. I couldn't take this anymore. I felt the skin on my back parting. My wings only ever came out when I was feral, and, trust me, I was close. “Dimitri. Calm down. We will bring them back,” Julia stated. “You're right.” I calmed down. “We can use the same portal stone to get back into Lucifer's hideout.” “I'm
Dazed and disoriented, Freya studied the white-haired woman who was inching closer to her. Her curvaceous body with her silver hair and milky eyes made her a looker. She was beautiful, but there was something so familiar about the woman, like she'd met her before. Isis paused when she noticed Freya's confused stare. “It is I, child. Isis.”“Wait, what? But you're supposed to be old.” Freya gasped. “That's because she did something bad,” another voice made it through the rubble. Isis's gaze shot to the slender woman, pushing her body up off the ground and dusting the debris off her clothes. “Prudence!” Isis yelped. “Hello, Isis,” Prudence grinned. Tears pooled in her eyes as she pushed past her sister and fell into Isis's arms. “Oh, my child,” Isis cried. “You're alive.”“Yes. I am.”“Wait, I don't understand. How do you look so young and fresh?” Freya wanted to know. “Forget about that and come give me a hug,” Isis declared. Freya rushed and dove into Isis's arms. “I'm so happy
