Working on another chapter, but it probably won't be up until tomorrow.
I watch Fati shift into her wolf and the look that crosses Kurt’s face. The incredulity and disbelief that bleeds to fear and panic. And he does what people so often do when people don’t understand something. He gets angry.“What the…how the hell – what the fuck!” His hoarse whisper is full of vehemence and near horror.I walk over to him, trying to keep my own fear that he will hurt Fati at bay. I will happily rip his heart from his chest if he fucks this shit up for her. “She’s a werewolf, Kurt. And she and I turned you into one to save your life.”“I am not one of those things!” he hisses out.Fati whines, her beautiful, powerful wolf seeming to curl into herself. Her ears lower, her head bows, and her tail drops between her legs in an effort to make herself smaller. Here is one of the most powerful wolves in our pack being cowed by an ungrateful asshole who has already hurt her enough because he is her mate. Gritting my teeth, I do what I can to keep my temper. I understa
Yesterday morning, Caleb sent me a text message to tell me that he had to go help his friend. The same she-wolf that he had been with on Thanksgiving. Her mate had been in a housefire and had gotten really hurt. He was going as the witch to help transform her human mate into a werewolf. I had no idea that this was even a possibility, but Caleb tells me that it’s the first time that it has really be tried out. It’s always been theoretically possible, but never tried out. They’re lucky that it worked. Though I’m not sure that Kurt feels that way. It’s been…weird. Not having Caleb here. I’ve seen him nearly every day since I first arrived at the Center. I didn’t think that I could miss someone that quickly. They’re all coming back tomorrow night, bringing Fati’s mate with them. He has to stay to talk with the cops and then the insurance company tomorrow and then they’ll be on their way. Fati is going to stay at school but will be
When I had asked Ciara if I could call her, I hadn’t known that this would happen. In my wildest dreams, I never would have imagined that this was running through Ciara’s head. She had been through a lot in that hellhole, but had thankfully made it out without having actual sex. To have that special time taken from her…I don’t know what that would have done to her. That doesn’t mean that she got out of there without scars, both mental and physical. I hadn’t thought that we would get to this point this quickly in our relationship. I will not push her. I will only give her what she is ready for. But this? This is even better than any phone sex that the humans could ever have, because I can feel her emotions. I can see her through her mind’s eye. If I concentrate hard enough, I can even feel some of the sensations that she’s feeling. Though I’m trying not to feel that, because that will surely make me blow my load faster than anything else and
I stand in the clearing in front of an altar to Hecate that we have set up in our backyard. We share part of our land with my parents, meaning that it backs up to the woods and is near a stream, making it peaceful and close to nature. Behind us, the backyard is packed. My parents and three siblings, his parents and three siblings. And that’s just our families. There’s many of the other trios with their families. The Elite. Members of my coven. Selene and Thor. Hecate of course and her group of men. It’s fucking insane just for a pregnancy blessing. But even though it’s been a year after the show down in the Underworld, we all are finding everything that we can do to celebrate. It just brought home the fact that you never know what day is going to be your last. Spend it how you want to gain happiness and love. So that’s what we’re doing, getting a blessing for Nathan and my baby. The baby that we were specifically brought toget
Two days later… I stand in line with the other graduates from the college of Health and Human Development at Arcadia University. My gown feels like a furnace trapping the heat inside and I almost wish that I had taken Finnegan and Ethan’s dare to just go buck ass naked underneath. I could change into my wolf and run home to change before my father would ever see me. Of course, he’d still know. He always knows somehow. I think it has to do with some of the gifts that he gleaned from his mating with my mother and from being an oracle himself. Mom…I wish she was here. Sometimes I can see her when I astral project onto Hecate’s plane, but I wish that she could see me graduate from the career that she encouraged me to do. Her death during the fight with Fenrir outside the gates of Valhalla nearly destroyed our father. When a wolf loses his mate, a piece of his soul dies. Some less powerful wolves will die with their mates, t
The day is spent hanging out with Caleb’s family and mine, along with about 50 other graduates and their families at a huge barbecue. It’s a day full of fun, food, and family and I love it. But I have been waiting for tonight.I’m so proud of Caleb. For finding something that he wanted to do. A way to help people, like he’s always wanted to do.It’s more than I’ve been able to figure out.As a luna in this huge, country-wide pack, it’s my responsibility to find my niche. The thing that I can do to help keep the pack going. Papá became the head of the college. Ba researches all of…well everything for the pack from fighting styles to vacation spots. And Mom is the main Oracle of the pack. They had it all figured out within a year of getting their gifts and I still haven’t even gotten my gift, let alone figured out what I’m going to do with the rest of my life.But I need to put that out of my mind. Because tonight is all about Caleb and the new set of lingerie that
I’m seated at a spot on the patio at one of the local brunch places. It’s meant for families, a play area with soft turf and a smaller area for babies outside next to the patio. I got here for our reservation early after walking here. Selene had things that she wanted to talk about and I often find it easier to move during those conversations in my head. Might as well do something productive. Julie, the owner, comes over to the table. “Hey, Meredith!” “Hi, Julie. How are you? How are the pups? And Joe?” I ask her. Julie has become a good friend and Gael, Hakeem, and I had helped her with the capital to get this place off the ground. Because of that, we are the only people that actually get a reservation here. She says that if you really want something, you either arrive on time to get a seat or its worth the wait. “Joe is perfect. The girls are giving me gray hair trying to figure out their major at the college. And the twins have just
I sit in my office facing away from my desk, looking out through the open double doors that lead out into our yard. Though it’s a yard in the loosest sense of the word. Most humans, hell most werewolves, love to have an open clearing behind their house. A place to set up a patio or a pool. A place for pups to play or cookouts to take place. But that’s not what our yard is. We have a very large front yard that showcases the front of our house with a large porch across the front. But the back of the house is surrounded by trees. The only clear area is a path that goes through the trees, leading to a circular clear space about 50 feet in. The path is about two people across and I have a clear view from the desk in my office. It’s where Citra used to commune with Hecate on the Astral Plane, similar to how Bella has a large flat rock that she sits on by the river behind their house. I used to watch her out there, my wolf unable to stop
