She was there, in my arms. Everything around us was debris from the small wooden house that I myself had built years ago, a refuge, to where I fled when I wanted to be away from everything. There was no cabin, but she was still there.I could feel her heart pounding against my chest, my hand covering her back covered only with that ridiculous sheet.I still couldn’t believe she really did that stupid thing, drag that demon here. What was she thinking?Her body shook and reminded me of what really mattered at that time. My son and her!Fear had taken over my body when I felt its power pulsating stronger and knew that it had drawn him there.I had no idea she’d blown up the house, but I knew something big had happened, our connection made me feel it.I could never admit it in my life, but when I saw that thing talking to her my heart pressed inside the chest. Afraid that she would leave with him, at that moment it did not cross my mind our son, I could only think of Bridget going away w
I woke up startled, my heart racing, my whole body in a state of alert. But then I saw that I was still there, safe in his room, once again had that dream, Quanah in his wolf form, trapped in a trap, then I was tied to a pole and placed on the burning woods, which quickly burned my body. "Scared?" The deep voice, that I was beginning to get used to, hit me across the room. I looked around and all I saw was the dark of the room, no sign of Quanah. Was I going crazy or was I still dreaming? "Nightmare again, it’s not even new." I murmured still staring at nothing. "Where are you?" The bathroom door opened and Quanah left, answering my question. He had certainly just come out of the bath, since he was wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist, his tattooed chest was still damp, with a few drops dripping down his chest and abdomen, and I couldn’t prevent the desire burning inside me. "Can I know what you see in these nightmares?" I hadn’t told anyone about them, at least not si
I couldn’t resist her, I should have just ignored her proximity and left that room, leaving her alone, but I couldn’t take it anymore and followed her. Still wearing that towel, which would hardly serve to hide my boner for long. I held her waist and she shuddered when I wrapped my arm pulling her closer, her body getting stuck between mine and the window, she had nowhere to run to. I raised my free hand and touched her soft face, contouring with my fingers those delicate freckles. "I know the big bad wolf eats better," she whispered staring at me over her eyelashes. I don’t know how she did it, but she was the perfect blend of angel and demon. "Aren’t you afraid of the big bad wolf, Bri?" she just shook her head in denial, I could already feel my cock pulsing through the towel, wanting to be inside her. "And what do you want?" Her tongue came out and strolled her lip, in a slow, erotic caress. Damn, this girl was gonna kill me."I want you to eat me." His voice went out by a th
I could hear his heart beating calm, we were almost at the same pace. Quanah used his fingertips to draw irregular strokes on my back and shiver me.I still couldn’t understand what had happened there, something was different, but I couldn’t tell what it was. Or I didn’t want to delude myself and assume things that would only hurt me in the future.Quanah wanted to keep me around and I was needy, it was the only explanation to be dragging ourselves like that to each other."That’s not why." His voice was low and rougher than usual and that made his chest tremble. "You feel the electric current that revolves around us.""That didn’t stop you from keeping me away before."Quanah took a deep breath and his fingers stopped what they were doing, his warm hand stopped there just holding me against him.It took too long, I even thought he wouldn’t say anything when he finally opened his mouth to talk."The woman who gave birth to me, went to bed with my father only to have a child and try to
After all the craziness of the last few days I didn’t think I’d get all the help, but there they were, Blanca, Agnes and Alice. Some ancestors were also there, but I doubted by their faces that it was to help me, was more to watch me and make sure that I could control my powers. Quanah was there, even if it was a Wednesday morning and he probably had several things to sort out, since the closed club was giving him a lot of damage. But he had insisted on attending my first training. Peta, Seth and Flora were also there, along with other werewolves I didn’t know well. "Come on Bridget, try using one of the elements, let’s start with something small." Blanca said keeping a safe distance. "No pressure." Quanah muttered. Sure, no pressure with everyone staring at me in expectation. But I focused and forced myself to use the air, try to make a stronger current swing the trees. Nothing happened, no matter how much I thought nothing would come. I closed my eyes trying to focus, but t
Bridget was evolving, learning to control her powers, taking control of the magic that existed within her. But with that her power grew more every day, it seemed that the more she dominated greater he got. This should not be the problem, she became the most powerful witch and did not need a spell to conjure, only one order and what she wanted happenedgg, but I was one of the few to think so there. The witches were in turmoil, those women andvhhhye up to, but they didn’t, Peta and I had already heard conversatio to Bridget and her power. And that’s why we decided to put men on their backs twenty-four hours a day, if they were planning something against her we would know first of all. We hadn’t been able to figure out who her father was so we didn’t know against who we were going to fight, I was really worried about what we were up against and when he would attack. Bridget could be strong and her father feared she would defeat himBut we didn’t know who he would ally with, or when she
If someone told me that I would be traveling with two werewolves, in search of a vampire, to get answers about my father, who was also a very powerful supernatural beign, I would say that the person was seriously insane and needed to be hospitalized. But there I was, in the truck with Quanah and Peta, heading for the mountains where Louis was. "I didn’t know you had a car, I thought you were always on all fours." I said and chuckled trying to held back so I wouldn’t burst out laughing. But Peta wasn’t that discreet in the back seat and burst out laughing. "Very funny, let’s see who will walk on all fours when we arrive." when he spoke in a low and sensual voice, making me swallowed hard with his threat, but could not help but feel a pulse between my legs. " We have cars and motorcycles, although I prefer to travel on foot, but since you kindly insisted on coming with me I had to take the car." "Thank me for sitting comfortably now, because if it was for my brother we would be t
I was facing Quanah and Peta, the two men so similar in appearance but so different in everything else. While Quanah shot me with his eyes, Peta was calm waiting for my answers. "Why do you think he’d lie? And I’m not excited, you don’t know what you’re talking about." I got out of the car angry to be in the corner being interrogated, I was not going to stay there letting them intimidate me like that. Only then I realized where we were, a parking lot in front of a gas station. I didn’t see anyone around, it looked like an abandoned place, but from the bags in Peta’s hand I could see that they had stopped to buy food. "Forgot our connection? I can feel everything that happens to you! We are connected, as soon as that bastard put his hands on you I felt it." he shouted the words. "Not to mention the smell of your excitement that I’m not the only one smelling." Shit, I’d completely forgotten about it, couldn’t even defend myself and say I tried to fight or push him. In fact I had no
And that’s what we did, Kalina created a circle calling him to be in our presence.I tried to insist that Quanah stay outside to protect Karl, but he refused and stood by me. He was still afraid of what had happened in the last days and I couldn’t even blame him for it. "Well, well, you again." the man appeared before us, the same as always, the black overcoat and the combat boots in the same color, but this time he looked younger, the hair had been cut. "What do you want now?" "Let it be known that we are the new ladies of the underworld. Hades is dead." he looked at each of us, as if he didn’t believe. "We need to talk about Nikolai." "I was afraid it would happen one day, just didn’t think it would be four ladies." he snorted, coming out of character right and showing his real side. "You don’t think just because you’ve become underworld commanders you can bring whoever wants to live, do you?" Well I wouldn’t deny that I thought of it, but it would be too easy and nothing with a
I couldn’t believe I was finally holding my son in my arms, Karl was beautiful, he had a lot of his father’s especially golden eyes, but the hair was mine at least. I couldn’t say how happy I was, I knew I should be surprised and go after Hera asking everything she had done, how time had passed only for my son and why, which led her to accept to help me.But they were questions for another time, because I was tired of the confrontation with Hades, tired of all the problems and emotions I lived on the last day and especially tired of gods, for now I just wanted to stay with my family without thinking about problems. "When do you think you’ll get tired and give it to me?" Quanah questioned, complaining about what seemed like the fifth time.He hadn’t left my side since childbirth, everyone congratulated us and left, one by one until he left us alone. And Quanah stood there beside me, drooling on our enchanted boy with the small, fragile being in my arms. "Probably in about fifteen ye
I ran to her, tearing her inert body from the arms of the unknown man and my heart broke when I saw her state. So helpless, fragile, it hurt me not to see her beautiful eyes, her smile, or even her cheeks getting flushed by something silly. "She lost a lot of blood, she needs to go to the hospital!" Kalina spoke above all the buzz around us. "No, she needs to lie down and let me do the rest!" Hera ordered and knowing who she was I did not do otherwise. "Let’s get this baby born!" "You can’t! It’s not time!" I protested at the idea of bringing our son to life, him wasn’t nine months yet. "It will be. Now take her inside." she was categorical, leaving no room for discussion and this time I could only trust. I took Bridget inside, hoping it wasn’t a complete mistake to bring a crazy goddess there. One that obviously knew what was going on with Bridget and her biological father, but claims they couldn’t interfere. "Bri felt something before she blacked out, she spoke of the baby."
When Denah made me come back home, horrified that I was bleeding through my eyes and nose, but I knew what was going on, it was Bridget and she was dying! "I need to go after her! How can this fucking connection not be working? Because I can sense what’s happening to her, but I can’t locate her!" The healers were there, as were the ancestors, who tried at all costs to medicate me or to calm me down, but I couldn’t do it, couldn’t calm down, not when I felt Bridget increasingly weak and bleeding even more."Because she is not in this plan!" Irma, a former healer said. For a second the air lacked me and the floor seemed to no longer exist. My world would end if someday Bri was no longer here. I loved that woman with all my strength, with every atom in my body and until the day of my last breath that would not change. "No, that’s not true! I can still feel what’s happening to her, Bridget is weak, but she’s not gone!" "Quanah, she didn’t mean it that way. She’s not dead, she’s on a
The place where Hades was hidden wasn’t exactly on earth, it was between our world and the underworld, according to Will and Kalina there was only one way to access this part of the universe, traveling by magic. "Just make sure we’re not going to hell." Brooke insisted once again, she was terrified that we might end up in hell, after all we all believed it was where Hades lived. "No Brooke, we are not going to hell. Only souls, demons and gods are allowed in that place and we are nothing like that." "Nikolai knew what he was doing, it is safe there, Hades believes to be protected and hidden, there are not many people who know this place and after the spell you cast on him something strange was happening." Spell? I swore nothing had happened to him after Alice started going against us. "Alice’s spell worked, didn’t it? The hate she was feeling for him killing Peta made her words more powerful than ours?" "Yes, Alice wished he would be trapped in agony and nightmares, and that’s h
I was dissatisfied with having to stay away from Bridget once again, I understood her need to protect her friend, but I still wanted her to stay where I could keep an eye on her. I snorted around the office again, my restlessness had increased since I felt a sadness coming from her, it killed me not knowing what had happened to her feel that way, I had called more than once, but had no answer, no one was answering the fucking phone and that was just to make me more anxious. This time I could only contain my impulses and trust that she would be safe, Bri was powerful and could take care of herself. I just had to trust it and keep my negative thoughts locked away. "Quanah!" Denah’s voice took me out of my thoughts. "You have to do something about, or I will!" "What did he do now?" I said feeling the irritation overflow inside me. Peta was not being easy to deal with, since he had returned he was unbearable, impulsive, making decisions without asking or at least caring about others
I was clinging to him and crying, in a way even the pain in my arm had been in the background. I didn’t care if he did what he did at Nikolai’s behest, he had stood by my side and that’s what matters. "I missed you so much, redhead." he muttered against my hair, hugging me tight like he always did when I was scared. "I wanted to see you so many times, I had so many questions." I raised my eyes to look better at him and held his face. "But now I’m just glad that you’re here." I was happy, even with all the shit going on around us, the only man I knew as a father, the last two people I have as family were there with me. "You’ll have time for that later, now Bridget needs to pay her debt with death. Before she takes it." "Nikolai is right, we did not come here just for reunions." Will stood up and lifted me up. "Nik has a gift for you." I frowned at Will, didn’t want to argue with him, especially now that we were together after so long. "The only gift Nikolai could give me was thi
We left the house quickly, Brooke, Kalina and Jenna were with me, after all the aversion that Peta was demonstrating to Alice, I would not trust leaving any of them behind. "I didn’t understand why he was acting like this, they seemed so united when they came to get me, the two fought Hades and she suffered so much when he was being tortured, almost looking like it was her." Jenna confided, but the truth is none of us understood how that was happening. "And he did it to hurt her, just as he killed Peta just to distract us, he uses people without any shame." I didn’t know where we could go, we didn’t have any resources, Quanah gave me the key to the truck and some money, but we needed to locate Alice in a hurry. "Maybe bringing him back was a mistake." Brooke muttered. I was starting to think that too, but I was trying to stay focused and remember who he was, who he was since I got here. "Alice needs us now. Let’s focus on that." Kalina was doing a locator spell right about now,
"No, there’s no way that Alice did anything like that!" I screamed for the thousandth time in front of the council. "She might be angry at her mother and scared of everything, but she wouldn’t do that." The elders, Peta, Quanah and Kalina were in the meeting room, discussing what we needed to do, what decision to make now. Alice was missing, but they wanted to hunt her down to find out what really happened, but I knew it wasn’t true, they would hunt her down to kill. They wanted to make her pay for the lives of the two guards, after all they did not care about Agnes. "You have to face the facts, Bridget! Alice was the only one in that room with her mother and the two guards, they’re dead and she’s missing. Do the math!" I was mad at Peta, I never thought I’d feel that way about him, but that’s how I was feeling. Maybe it was a mistake to bring him back after all, he had not thanked, fought with Alice and now raised the flag that she should be hunted. "Go to hell Peta!" I shouted b
