Azriel POV her face, her scent, and all that came with her have been imprinted on my mind since the day I set my eyes on her. This was wrong, she was my brother's mate, his woman but what could I do when I was consumed by her existence? Adira Wade was an impressive woman, a little naive, or maybe she pretended to be because she would know that Wyatt was keeping things from her. He was tied to another woman by oath and even though he thinks it would be easy to end it it surely wasn't. He was King but what is a king without his word? Adira was avoiding me today and I wondered why. I found myself going to her. She was startled but calm at my erratic behavior, even though I didn't know why. " You're avoiding me," " Not at all," she lied. " I'm busy," " You're avoiding me. Did I do something wrong?" I asked. Her heart was pounding fast as her Amyest eyes stared at me with a look of kindness. Her look reminded me of Mila, she was the only one who looked at me as though there was some
I woke up early in the morning and was energized today, my wolf was excited, it was the day she would come out, and this she was sure of. Coming out of the bathroom with only my mate's white polo shirt. I called out his name " Wyatt!" I screamed, he groaned and his eyes slowly fluttered open. He smiled and buried his head between the pillows. He had so many drinks last night and was now suffering from a hangover. " Wyatt!" I just wanted to annoy him. " You're hyper today. I have a headache," he groaned. " Go wake Lucas up or something," I smiled and sat at the edge of the bed, giving him plenty of kisses, that he loved. " The sky and weather are lovely today. Let's go outside for a walk," I said. " No, did you hear what I said about my head?" I stomped my feet like a child, protesting. " Okay, then let's go have breakfast, I'm hungry," I whined and he opened one of his eyes. He didn't look pleased at all but I enjoyed bugging him. It's his fault for drinking too much. " G
We later went to Monique's apartment, it was lovely with a nice view. It looked so girly and elegant. " Beautiful place," I said. " Thank you. I used most of my inheritance on it," she informed me. " Inheritance?" " Yes, my parents were in the army so they made something, and gave me my inheritance," " oh, I'm sorry about you're parents," I said and she chuckled. " They are not dead, Silly," " Oh," " They traveled, and I asked for it. Trust me, those men are not dying anytime soon and I couldn't continue living on a Teacher's salary," she explained. " I have two dads," I did pick up on that. I smiled and squeezed her hand " Where is the tequila?" " Yes! Shots!" she screamed, pulling me towards the kitchen. We each took our shots but decided it wasn't enough, so we drank half of the bottle. We quickly got ready and got into the elevator. Once on the ground floor and outside, there was an escalade waiting for us; " Is that ours?" I asked. A tall man held the door op
His presence was authoritative and domineering too. A woman announced his arrival and everyone in the room bowed respectfully to him and his two men; Aspen and Jett. He noticed me immediately. In a room full of people, he smiled at me and it melted my heart, however, his mood darkened as soon as he saw the man who was standing close to me. I subtly moved away from Richard, and his hand gripped me, he looked to be in shock but as Wyatt advanced towards us, he slowly moved away from me. He extended his hand to me and I reached for him. he pulled me closer to him and kissed my cheek. " Hey, beautiful," he caressed me kindly. " Hey, handsome," I whispered, I was feeling shy now because so many people were watching us so I kept my eyes on him. " What happened to the party?" Aspen said, the music started and people glanced away from us to their partners and slowly chatter built up. " If I knew this was the party you were attending, I'd be keen to come sooner," he said. " I didn't k
Azriel smiled at me and caressed my thick coat " You're beautiful and it was an absolute privilege to be able to see you shift," he said. What colors am I mixed with? I wanted to ask but a growl is what left me. " You're an all-black wolf," he said as if he understood me. " You're taller than most alphas too," I was in shock, how could two betas birth an alpha child? All this was confusing for me. " Hey, go for a run and enjoy the woods. No one will trouble you here and when you come back, you'll find me right here," I nodded and turned on my paws, running through the vast forest. I kept running, hoping and wishing that what happened during the party was a lie, that my mate didn't mark another as his Luna. I prayed to the goddess that it was a fucking lie but the pain in my chest told me otherwise. Did that woman mean Wyatt wanted this too? I only ran faster, Kira howling at the full blue moon now. ' He lied to us,' I told her. Kira didn't answer me but she held grave sadness
We had been on the road for quite some time and only stopped at a gas station. " Do you want something to eat?" he asked and I shook my head, turning away from him. Azriel pumped gas into the car and went to the store. He came out minutes later with bags. He stayed outside for a while before coming into the car and started driving the car again. We were both quiet, and at some point, I closed my eyes and sleep took over me. I woke up to someone shaking me, I stared at Azriel and looked in front of me. We were in front of a nice cottage. I looked behind me when I heard a board of water and indeed, we were surrounded by a lake. " Where are we?" " At the marsh, I like to come here sometimes and it's far from civilization," he said, getting out of his truck. I did the same, " Why did you bring me here?" " You didn't want to see -" " Don't fucking say his name," I interrupted sharply. I didn't want to think of him right now. " Ohm, okay, you know who would have found you in the pack
Azriel I finished my smoke and looked at Adira one more time before driving off. She was distraught and crying, I hated seeing her like that. She loved Wyatt a lot and was hurt. My heart tightened in my chest as she screamed in pain. The best I could do for her is give her peace and space. I didn't know what she would decide, whether it was to leave or stay with him. Both options made me mad. I got home after 8 pm and as I guessed, my brother and his 'minions' I chuckled at the sound of that in my head, were waiting for me. No one of them liked me and didn't bother hiding it but they respected me. Wyatt got to his feet, glaring at me " Where the fuck is she?" he demanded, exuding his alpha aura. " Who?" " Don't be stupid, Azriel," Dalla spat. " And remember who you're fucking talking to, Dalla," I growled, she stared at me with an angry-filled gaze. " Where the fuck is my woman?" Wyatt was shaking with anger now, and he was fighting his wolf for control but I enjoyed taunti
Adira. Days went by and I spent my days, reading and exercising. It relieved my tension, especially now that I've been having bad dreams about people taking me away to a strange place. There was also the issue of me being an alpha female which was bizarre, there were no alpha females around and my parents were betas so how was I an alpha wolf? I sighed, knowing I would have to find out more and the first place to start was back at my former pack. I needed to visit there soon I stayed in my thoughts until there was a knock at the door. I reluctantly went to check. I opened it and a tall man with blonde hair greeted me with a smile. " Hello, there!" " May I help you?" I asked. " My name is Ambrose. Sir Azriel sent me to check up on you," he said. " Is Azriel alright?" " Yes," Ambrose lingered a while and I wondered if he wanted me to invite him in. I swallowed and asked " Do you want some tea?" he nodded and I pushed the door wider. " Thanks," I went to the kitche
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
