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
I ran through the forest feeling my heart racing in my chest and my lungs complaining of the incessant running, but I continued, I would not stop until I got there and proved once and for all if that demon had lied once again. I felt my blood boil in my veins every second my thoughts came back to the moment I felt him holding her, kissing her and she could not resist. Once again Bridget surrendered to him with ease, presented no resistance. The first time I understood, we were not together, she was free to cling to whoever she wanted and had the fact that he used Seth’s body. But now it should be different, we were together, as a couple, and she had said with all the lyrics that she wanted him away. So why didn’t she resist? Why didn’t she fight with him? What power was that he exercised over her? The more I thought the less answers I had, so I decided to focus on what I could do, get the answers. If there was no ambush, it was proof that that bastard just wanted time with Bridget
My tears didn’t help at all, no matter how much I asked her to stop, or if I begged, she continued to spank me. "You should have stayed out of my way! I warned you that if I saw you today you would pay." "But was Daddy who found me." I whimpered, hoping that after she’d hear that I hadn’t going to him, she would stop hitting me, but that never happened. "Shut up! Or I will beat you even more!" the leather belt cut the air before hitting my back and I cried even more. "You shouldn’t have been born, you’re a mistake, a stone in my way, messing everything up, ruining my life!" I didn’t understand why she didn’t like me, mothers should love their children, right? But I don’t know what that word means, maybe my father loves me a little, but he’s almost never here, there’s always someone who needs your help, so he lives traveling. I like it when the elders called me to class about our history, it was the only way to spend more time with my father and the farthest from her. I had
Things were going from bad to worse, Quanah had not come back and unfortunately Nikolai was right, I wish a lot so that he was wrong, especially after a day that Quanah did not give news, I tried to think positive, hopeful he was on his way back with the answers. But reality hit me after two days, Peta was already organizing a search, I had to insist that he would not lead the group, my fear was that no one would come back, because if they had managed to disappear with Quanah, they would have no problem doing the same with the others. Peta agreed to stay and let Denah lead the first group, but after they returned without answers I could no longer hold him, Peta led one group while Denah led another. If they let me go I would certainly also be helping in the searches, but I was forbidden to put my feet out of the house, and I was really complying, I did not want to risk and put another person in the hands of my father. Today was making a week that Quanah had disappeared, Nikolai h
I was inside the meeting room, the elders were slow to give in and let they get in there, but finally I was facing Nikolai, Kalina and Alice on one side, while on the other was Blanca, Agnes, Flora and all the rest of the witches and wizards who had arrived. Nikolai wanted to help and was the right one, I needed to do that, but all the others insisted that I should not get involved with her, Kalina, according to Blanca mess with black magic had a great consequences, not only for our body, but for our soul."Send this woman away from here, we can fix this." Agnes said again. I was already tired of that incessant conversation that was leading nowhere. "If you could then why haven’t you done it yet? Why have you left all this time pass, with Quanah captured and she suffering here?" Kalina spoke before anyone could speak. "The answer is you all know that this kind of magic only I can do, and I will say more, that they are happy for..." "Kalina, you really don’t know when to shut up, d
Shock was the word of the day apparently, I could not think straight, even less give an answer to everything they had told me. After what Peta told me, Nikolai decided to open his mouth and speak at once what he knew of my father, swearing that this would be a plausible excuse for me not to face my father, but I was their best chance, they would not leave me behind and I would never allow it. No witch of my clan accompanied us, as much as Alice wanted to come Blanca forbade anyone to follow me and I could not let my friend be in danger, each one who was there was already a disadvantage for me, because I would be more concerned with the well-being of all, not to mention Quanah. "How are you?" Flora approached Peta, who carried me on his back, as he marched in his wolf form. "I’m fine." It wasn’t true, but I didn’t want to worry everyone again. Every time Hades invaded Quanah mind my cry took the silence of the night. I was trying to stay firm and avoid screaming, but the pain was
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
