The door to my bedroom opened a few hours later and I closed my eyes, Wyatt walked over to my side and kissed my temple before he went to the bathroom. Should I talk to him about what I learned today? Why did he lie to me? I was still in thought when the water stopped and he stepped out, my eyes were shut but I could tell he knew I was awake yet, he didn't say anything. He got in bed next to me and put me in an embrace. Sleep evaded me that night while Wyatt was out like a light. I willed myself to sleep and morning came too quickly," Good morning," Came Wyatt's voice. I stirred and stretched my limbs before sitting right. " Morning," I said groggily, rubbing my eyes. " I made breakfast," he said and raised the tray in his hands. " Thanks," I took it, he made a lot of delicious goodies. I took a bite of everything on the tray and he watched me carefully. " Toast is amazing, sausage too but crepes, not too good," I commented. He frowned and passed me my macha. " What did I do to
Kate Kate was smiling as she remembered her first encounter with Ethan, he was a good-looking man, and liked him instantly, who couldn't? Ethan arrived at some road. It would take him a while to arrive home but it seemed longer now that he had to travel this time of the night, on a road that was empty for a reason. The mist and the thick darkness only allowed him a vision of a few feet, enough for him not to trip and fall over something. Something like a fallen tree in the middle of the road or a dead body abandoned by some serial killers. His senses had already peaked from the thought of the danger that would dawn from any direction. A blood-curdling echo of footsteps would seize the moment and he tensed, then curse when realizing it was his own. He should have called his driver to pick him up but he hadn’t been in his right mind. Finally, losing his balance over some obstacle, he stumbled to stay on his feet. During this time, he became certain that he was being followed by t
I clenched my chest and breathed, as I tried to unsee what I just saw but I couldn't. I heard cussing from the other side. " Don't ever come in here again!" Luca shouted. " I'm sorry!" I said breathless. " GET OUT!" " Luca, I'm sorry," I said, trying to muffle a burst of laughter. My little brother was masturbating? What? Isn't he too young to do that?" Adira!" Wyatt and Azriel's concerned voices boomed. I pushed myself off the door as I faced them. " Sorry, I- I just saw what I wasn't supposed to," I said, and they gave me a knowing look before the brothers shared a sly glance. I pulled a disgusting face and went past them. Reaching the bedroom, I removed my training clothes and went for a steamy shower. However, I was later joined by Wyatt, his arms around my waist and lips kissing my neck softly. " Wyatt, stop," I said. " Are you looking for reasons to fight with me?" he asked and I turned around to face him. " No," I refute. He was serious. He got out of the shower and I
We got ready for the day and went down for breakfast, Mila joined us and was as pleasant as ever. I noticed how she paid extra attention to Azriel and engaged him in the conversations. " So Adira when is your Luna ceremony?" Mila asked. Wyatt grabbed my hand and kissed it. " We were thinking next month, we wanted to deal with the dark wolves first but they have been silent lately and none of our trackers are locating them," I informed her. Zion has been too quiet and it's keeping me anxious. "Don't you think the Luna ceremony is the perfect opportunity for them to strike, it is large and we'll have different wolves of status come from different packs?" Azriel asked. All eyes turned to him but his gaze was on his brother. " Security will be tight and the people are getting restless for a Luna," Wyatt answered calmly. " It's dangerous, and it's not like you'll mark her with Rachel still parading around your mark," he said coldly. " I'll mark Adira, we've given Rac- That woman's wol
Rachel smiled like a feline cat. The Tarion had forgotten all the agreements they had with Wyatt but now, they want them fulfilled all of a sudden, did it have to do with Richard's said love for me? " You'll support me?" Rachel asked, still in a daze. Richard smiled at her fondly before he looked at me; I only glared at him. " Of course, the king gave his word to marry you and can't back out. What's a king without his word, just a mere man," he said. Richard bowed politely and grabbed Rachel's hand before leaving. " Let's go inside," I said. We walked to my mate's office and he sat on the sofa, I dropped my weight on his body and he embraced me. " What are we going to do about the Tarion?" I asked. He kissed my shoulder gently. " Don't worry, he may be alpha but his father calls all the shots. Also, if they refuse to dissolve the arrangement, I'll do it forcibly," he said, determined. " You can't do that Wyatt, you are not that kind of leader. We must do it the right way...
I was nervous to see my grandfather, Wyatt told me that the whole Lafayette family was in the city and wanted to see Lucas and me I was wearing a black dress that shaped me nicely and high heels. My long hair was straightened and falling to my back. Chloe did my make-up as I liked and I looked in the mirror. " How do I look?" I asked, I was still nervous about meeting that part of my family. "Extremely beautiful, my lady," The young woman answered. I went downstairs and found Lucas already dressed. He looked dashing in black jeans and a white shirt. " Do you like my new airforce shoes," " They look the same as the pairs you own," I told him. He scowled. " We'll they are different, Wyatt, you see that, right?" he asked. Wyatt spoiled Lucas with a lot of designer brands. " Yes," My mate answered, he extended his hand to me and I took it, " My love, you look beautiful," Wyatt kissed my lips. " Is it not too much?" I asked. " You're absolutely perfect," I smiled at his
"Fuck, snipers," Kode growled, he was shaking with anger. He ran outside with the others following. I looked at the man who was struggling to breathe. Blood was gushing out of his mouth. " Lia, call the doctor!" Carl shouted. " I can help," I whispered. My mind was still in a frenzy and my body was trembling but I needed to help him, he was in a bad state. " The bullets need to be removed first," Wyatt said. The doctor came within ten minutes, and they took him to one of the bedrooms. I sat on Wyatt's lap where he held me tenderly and he was rubbing comforting patterns on my back. Everyone stood up an hour later when the doctor descended the stairs, he looked tired but he smiled. " Doctor, how is my father," Caleb asked. " I won't lie, he'll be in immense pain for the coming weeks as the bullets used were silver and laced in wolfsbane but he will heal," he said. " He just needs to rest," I could accelerate his healing and I planned on doing that. " Do you want to see him?"
Azriel This woman was breathtaking! Her smile was mesmerizing. Even after knowing her for months now, her beauty still amazes me. She talked about the food on the table while I watched her. I didn't like it as much, but I pretended to because it made her so happy. When we were almost done with the meal, a middle-aged woman came to our table, a huge smile plastered on her lips. " The unruly child! " She clapped, smiling from ear to ear. " Mrs. Li," Adira didn't seem enthusiastic about seeing the woman. She stood up and crossed her arms against her chest, waiting for the woman to speak. " Luna, I was so happy when I heard you came to my restaurant," Mrs Li beamed. " Oh really?" she said. " Yes, news of your arrival spread, and what happened? Don't worry, we support you and your new position." I was even impressed by the way she dealt with Mars and Steven. She was so powerful at that moment and so damn sexy. I tuned them out and continued to eat my food. Mrs Li left and Adir
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
