The next day, my eyes fluttered open when I heard growls. I tightened my robe as I got on the balcony and leaned over to see what was going on down there. It was Azriel's wolf. He was lying on his belly, rolling on the ground, and looking like he was having the time of his life. The wolf sensed me immediately and sat up, curiously looking at me. His neck tilted a bit and I mimicked his actions, he turned around and I did too. I was too bored with my life clearly, so here I was frustrating the poor predator. He started barking and growling at me and I did the same, my stance threatening as his. " Wolf!" I heard Azriel call. " What are you-" He stopped his sentence as his eyes met mine on the balcony. He visibly swallowed and nodded his head once before crouching down to pet the wolf. " Why do you have a wolf? You're a werewolf," I said. " I found him in the forest when he was a pup, I think he lost his pack and I decided to take him in," he said gently. " What's his name?" "
" Why were you too quick to accept?" Azriel asked as he showed me the gym. " Money is good," I shrugged " By the way, you have to tell me what to do, like I said, I haven't done this before," " You're his mate. You shouldn't be some trainer," he said. " As I said, I have no wolf and-" He stopped walking "What is your name?" I didn't know whether to feel offended that he didn't know my name. We spent yesterday and today together! " Adira Wade," I mumbled. " Are you hurt that I don't know your name, Adira?" Adira, I repeated, it sounded good from his tongue too. Damn, these brothers. " No, I'm not mad," My voice sounded hostile and he smirked. Azriel showed me around and what he expected of me. " There is a guidebook you'll follow, it contains everything the girls need to learn," he said. " Is it not the same with the boys?" " No," " But why? Isn't important they acquire the same skills too?" " For what? Girls don't even go to war," he said and I stopped walk
" How was your first day," Azriel asked as we left the school premises. Teens can be sassy and stubborn but I knew how to handle them. " Good, I'm just a little tired," I said. " It's almost dark," " Let's walk home together," I was lost in my thoughts, missing my mate. Ever since we came here, we didn't spend enough time together but I know he has duties as a king. " Why are you being attacked?" I asked. " Shouldn't you say we?" He narrowed his gaze on me and I shrugged, " I'm not part of the pack yet," " Speaking of that, when will he initiate you into the pack?" he asked. " After the blue moon," I said. " How are you sure he's your mate if you haven't shifted yet? You know you can only know once you're in wolf form," " He told me so," " And you just believe him?" " My wolf told me, I feel the sparks of the bond!" I snapped and he raised his hands in surrender. " Why is the pack being attacked?" " Because we are the strongest, and the dark wolves want revenge
Azriel pushed open the door and I entered the house, " Thank you for dinner, Azriel," he nodded and I was about to go upstairs when a gruff voice stopped me. " Adira! Where were you?" Azriel muttered something under his breath as my head jerked to my mate. I missed him, " Hi, finally," I said. I stood on my tiptoes to kiss him quickly but he didn't touch me, his dangerous eyes were on his brother. " Why are you here and with my mate?" he demanded. I look between the tall men. Their similarities and height were uncanny. I noticed the beta and gamma were watching in the corner, they looked a little uneasy. Do the brothers, not like each other? " I got here days ago, and I'll let her tell you why we came in together," Azriel sighed. " Why are you not at the palace? In your residence?" " I wanted to be here, any problem with that?" " Yes, you didn't report- " " Um, " I cleared my throat to get his attention. My mate glared at me " Why are you with him?" " I work with him
I woke up to kisses on my neck, I smiled and cupped Wyatt's handsome face. " Hi, handsome," " Good morning, beautiful," he kissed my lips without a care that I just woke up. He climbed on top of me, kissing and ravishing my body. Carnal desire was evident in his eyes. " I miss your body against mine," he purred. I tilted my neck to give him more access, softly moaning. His fingers caressed my breasts tenderly, as he kissed me deeply and then sucked on my hardened nipples. " Did you miss me?" he asked, his fingers going under my pajama pants and caressing my smooth cunt. He trailed kisses down my skin and left pleasurable sensations. I was getting wetter. He pulled my pants down and kissed my inner core. " Yes, yes," I moaned. He brought his face over mine and positioned himself between my legs, he slid his cock in me making my breath hitched. I was moaning as he started to thrust in me. His moves were relentless and I drowned in pleasure, I wanted more of him ...so much more. My
I wore a high-neck sleeveless dress and white canvas, Wyatt was ready too in a black costume. He looked too handsome and I was jealous that all those she-wolves will be eye fucking him. " Why do you have to be so handsome?" I moaned. He smirked at me. " Jealousy suites you," We walked downstairs to the living room where everyone was; Aspen, Jett, and Lucas. They were talking about some game but stopped when they saw us. " Morning, everyone," I greeted. I kissed my brother and ruffled his hair. " Adira, Darling!" Mila beamed, stretching her hands wide to me. She was walking over to me elegantly and one could tell that she was an epitome of a classy woman. I returned her smile and she hugged me kindly, stroking my hair. She pulled away and caressed my cheek. " Welcome home, Adira, you may not remember me but I knew you as a child, " She told me. " Hello, Ma'am, it's good to see or meet you, I don't know now," I chuckled. She frowned. " Call me Mila, please," she said.
" He loves you, he wants you," he said, the words sounding bitter from his tongue. " That's not the question," " If you doubt him, ask him," " I did and you heard what he said," " And you don't believe him," he stated. Something was wrong and I knew it. I grabbed his hand gently and he stiffened, I squinted my eyes at his reaction. Does he not like to be touched? " Sorry," I murmured, retracting my hand. " Do you love him?" his question took me by surprise but I nodded. I didn't know how or when but I did. I fell for Wyatt. " Yes, I love him a lot and would hate if he was hiding something from me," " What if he was?" he asked. I didn't know what to say to that. I didn't even think about that far ahead. " I don't know," I admitted softly. " Just give it time," " Give what time, Azriel, you're scaring me," My voice trembled. " Don't be, you're alright. Your mate loves you," he said, and I smiled halfheartedly at him. He was staring at me. " Have you eaten?" he a
I was sulking the next days because Wyatt had been staying at the palace for some time. I was sitting in the common area, my back against the pool table as I read a book but let's face it, I couldn't even concentrate. I needed to do something, anything else. " Hey," I jumped from the floor when I spotted Azriel passing by. "What?" he gruffed. " Where to?" I asked, ignoring his rude tone. " Excuse me?" he raised an eyebrow at my overly excited voice. " I thought we were friends so..." I trailed and he smirked at me, crossing his arms against his chest, " We are not friends, and you need to get yourself some," " I thought we were!" " Just because I told you some details about my life doesn't make you my friend," he said coldly and I was taken back. I was quick to assume. " Okay, then," I said quietly, facing the floor. " I'm going to the border wall, there was a severe attack the last two days and I'm going to check on the situation, to see if it can get us some leads,
A year went by without Ethan, and it was torture for Kate, she had cried thousands of times and she thought her tears would run dry but she was wrong. She didn't know how the love of her life was doing except he was alive thanks to Azriel, she was grateful to have him by her side. " What did the butler say?" " He found out where they are holding him and we can go rescue him with a few of my warriors," he informed me and I smiled, going to hug him and he hugged me back. " Thank you, Azriel," I cried, pulling away from him. I didn't know what I'd do without him and I'll forever be grateful that I ran into him in that bar. " When are we going?" " Tomorrow," he informed. I was restless the whole day, we were waiting for night to come to invade the hunters and the next day, I was at the border of the Diamond pack before everyone arrived. The journey to Creek Fall town was two hours but most of them had shifted in their wolf form and I rode in the car with Azriel. Kate's heart was thu
The past two weeks were blissful for Kate and Ethan, they spent most of their time in each other's arms or watching vampire movies. " Do you do that too?" he asked as they watched a vampire movie, stifling a chuckle and she elbowed him in the gut. He grunted. " Why are they sparkling like that though," Kate murmured in wonder. She couldn't watch anymore so she stood up, deciding to stretch her legs for a while and it had been long since she went out to hunt. " I'm going to hunt," she sighed, wearing a coat. Ethan stood up and pulled her towards him. " I thought you preferred my blood," he purred in her ear, making a shiver run down her back. He left kisses on her neck and purred but she managed to push him away. " I want to stretch," she said. He smiled at her and nodded, watching her leave the cottage. Ethan was feeling terrible for not telling Kate who he truly was but his wolf told him that vampires and werewolves repel each other. Ethan's heart hurt at the thought of losing K
“Am in a very bad mood and you should leave to save your skin,” Ethan warned.Detective Bradley took a step back, almost mentally placing his hand on the latch of his gun. He could see a murderous glee in the visage of his enemy, Ethan.“I have a few questions regarding that lady friend of yours,”“ I don't know anything about her, like I said, am in a very bad mood and don't want to answer questions,” he repeated, hoarsely and whisperingly. “If you don't leave, am going to have to hurt you,” Ethan emphasized, trying to avoid eye contact, he was struggling with his inner wolf to maintain control as he wanted to take over and rip the detective to pieces. “I don't give a fuck ass what mood you're in. We can have this conversation out here or we can take it to the station.,” he replied, “It's your move mate”Ethan said nothing, he just remained placidly still.“Are we going to have a problem?” he asked again, readying to use brute force“ Please, go,” he struggled, sweat forming on his t
It was a pleasant night for Ethan but, as always, she was gone when he woke up. Leaving his office, he decided to leave his car and walk on foot. He was beginning to find a sinister satisfaction in these forbidden hours of the night. He hurried to the side of the street. The rain had just stopped and the sideways were still moisture-laden and the neon lights of the dry bar across the street glowed irritably across the range of his vision. He folded his hands into a fist, gnarling and pissed at nothing in particular. He stood there a moment and gazed fixedly at the strange gathering of the night colors in the air. He needed to hit something. It was the only logical thing to do. It was the only thing that felt like it would calm his restless soul. And maybe it was going to take the pain away. He stopped, feeling intense pain all over his body. He breathed in and started to walk, ignoring the pain earlier, but it started again. His heart was beating erratically and he stopped, touch
THE YEAR 1895 The gentle luster of his eyes lifted to the burning noon sun through the small window. Mathias Icarius Montgomery leaned over and craned to see the outside world through the iron bars of the prison that held him. A cloud of dust flew in and then rushed into his eyes and he drew back irritably but quickly recovered to his earlier position at the window. His last moments of freedom were these. He had been accused of treason, and he was on death row, sentenced to be hanged the following day. The failing hope that now possessed his visage was owed to the thoughts of being in this state, unable to be with his ailing wife with child. He stood, relishing the pallid scene outside. The people, buried in the turmoil of the usual vending, filled the streets, stretched through every narrow gate and boulevard, and discharged into a stream of many, making their way to this pitiful scene. In the street swelled diatribes of profanities and muffled chanting and voices of other unfamil
This was it. This was the day that she was going to die. She knew that she had to pay the price for the only day that she could spend with Ethan. This was the price she had to pay. Her father got up in the same fashion, and he could see everything that was happening. The wind was loud and still violent and this wizard was not here for any kind bargain. Halomir stretched out his hand, wading it in the air, and she knew that no good thing was going to come out of this. She launched onto him and took him down. She was going to die, but not without a good fight first. She pinned him to the ground and loosed her fangs. Suddenly, he blew some powder in her eyes and she became blind momentarily. Black magic, this was black magic. She fell back, moaning. She was blind, she could not see. She could hear the wizard approaching where she stood, and again she made a second attempt, but he caught her in midair and lifted her from her neck with one hand. Not only did he make her weak, but he had
It was only a few hours into the night. There was no doubt in her mind that Detective Bradley Burke was going to do everything in his strength to make sure that she didn't see the light of day again. Kate seemed calm in her seat, there was no need to fight it yet, it would only make things worse. Detective Bradley Burke glared at her through the mirror. She was sitting in the back seat, “How did you do it?” he asked her. She looked up to meet his eyes. “How did you kill those people?” Did he want to know? She eased her gaze on him. She knew it was easy to compel him even through the glass, but she wouldn't want to do it just yet, because Ethan was probably soon to be involved, so she would let it play out naturally for now. She looked away, ignoring his question. “I am going to make sure that you are locked up for a very long time” he promised. “And I am going to get the truth out of you one way or another,” She immediately let out an involuntary chuckle that stroked Burke as an i
Kate was escorted outside the house by Ethan. He opened the car door for her, and she got into her car and began driving away. She could see him in her mirror, standing on the driveway, watching longingly with his beautiful eyes, and she immediately envisioned what it felt like when his lips were deep into hers. Her lips parted as she lost herself and tried to escape her wonderful reverie. What was happening to her? Was this what love felt like? Was it even possible that she could feel love? Finally, in the distance, he disappeared, and her heart skipped a beat, already missing him. Doing the impossible, meeting him in broad daylight was impossible. And even if magic could do it, a huge sacrifice would have to be paid to just be able to stand in the sun without being scorched to death. Yes, that's it, black magic. After a few hours of driving, she approached the trail leading directly to the castle. She stepped out of her car and treaded carefully there. She trudged up the hill a
Ethan’s house, lit from within, stood at the far end, close enough for her to watch. Kate could see his silhouette moving about in his bedroom, and she stood in silence, watching, soon to head directly there. She would have to explain why she was hurt and why she had come here. She braved another step, then immediately sensed a variant presence in his house. It was different from the female servants. She searched with her sharp eyes and finally confirmed the reason for her dissatisfaction. Nestled on the bed in his bedroom was a woman, Danielle. The window was wide open and everything was revealed. Kate had been the one to compel her to forget what happened when she was lost in the night. Kate had done this kindness to get Ethan to focus on everything but Danielle. Kate watched in wondrous suspense. Danielle was sitting in his massive white bed dourly, as if unsatisfied with something. That perfume she wore only meant trouble and Kate scowled, then hopelessly cowered, fearing the wo
