The truth is that I've been having doubts about posting chapters lately because I'm not too confident but I saw your comments and gave me confidence to continue writing so thank you.
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
I looked up at Chance, his gaze was on Rachel, who was busy shouting at Ambassador Delgado. She was red with anger. " Do you know her?" I asked. " Kinda, does she live here?" he asked, his gaze still on her. " No, she's the daughter of the former alpha of the Silver Dawn pack. How do you know her?" " Oh... It's... It.. just forget it," he seemed disturbed and disoriented. I glanced at Kode, he knew what had happened but said nothing. I wondered how my cousin knew Rachel, but I didn't want to prey on their relationship, so I let it go. " I'm starved, let's go," Chance smiled. Rachel turned to look at us and her eyes slightly bulged at the sight of Chance, and she swallowed. Now I am curious. " She - she's pregnant," my cousin whispered in disbelief as he walked away. I looked back at Rachel and she was gone. Reaching outside the palace, we found Claudia and Emeldah waiting for us by car. A few men were talking to them politely, and they were smiling. They hugged me and we
I didn't tell Wyatt what I learned yesterday because I wanted to be sure first. I got ready for work and went downstairs for breakfast. It was just Azriel and I that morning. I didn't like that as I was evading him. " Look who sits at the same table as me today... alone," he grumbled. I rolled my eyes. " C'mon," I said. We started to eat. Azriel was looking at me. " What?" " Why are you avoiding me?" he asked. I drank my water before answering him. " I'm not," " You are," I got up and went outside. I didn't want to talk to him. I was ready to get into the car, but he followed me. " I'll drive," he told my chauffeur. " No, you're taking me to work," I ordered. The poor man bowed and opened the door, but Azriel closed it again. " What is your problem," " Adira, did I do something wrong?" " Do you love me?" he was stunned into silence by my question. He inhaled and ran a hand through his hair. Azriel was quiet. With a wave of my hand, I dismissed the driver. " W
Adira " Baby, I don't want to," I complained. Wyatt was taking me outside to the back forest. There was no cloud in the sky and the moon was full. " Can you feel that!" he was happy, pointing at the moon. " Yeah yeah, I love the power the moon brings us," I yawned, rubbing my eyes. " Run with me tonight," he said, pulling me closer to him by my waist. ' Run,' I heard Rolf's excited voice in my head. I caressed his beard and got on my toes to kiss him. " Fine," I conceded, pulling the top I was wearing over my head and throwing it to the ground. His eyes lingered on my bare chest and he caressed my arms. I took off my shorts and shoes. I closed my eyes, trying to feel every vibration beneath my feet and I smiled as I connected with nature. I could feel every vibration and the tiniest animals around the forest. " Why do you insist on running when I beat you every time," I said. The last time we went for a run, I left him by a lot. My speed was insane. " Maybe today is my
It was the day of the Luna ceremony, and I was nervous. The pack members were so happy and the ceremony would be broadcast live on TV for everyone to see. " Leila, how is everything going out there?" I asked the assistant as she entered the dressing room. " All is good, Luna and the guests are starting to arrive," she reported, and I nodded my head, standing up. " Alphas are starting to arrive," Leila reported. The door opened and Mila, Dalla, Eva, and Faye entered the room, smiling widely at me. Mila hugged me tightly, and I winced. " Sorry, I'm so excited," she said. Everyone helped me get ready. The stylist did my hair. It was an updo that I picked out and it suited my face. My dress had a plunging back and fit my body right. " Shoes, shoes," Dalla shouted, and a servant brought in the shoes. They helped me and when everything was ready, I looked in the tall mirror. I looked gorgeous if I say so myself. " I'm ready," I whispered. They all gave me commending looks. T
" Azriel," I breathed, he didn't look all right. First, he was drunk and he kept cupping my face. " Adira," he slurred. I pulled him further into an isolated area which was hard to find with all these people. " You're right, Adira. I love you, I love you so much," he said once we got some privacy. He was agitated, looking into my eyes. His confession didn't shock me as much as I thought it would. " You're drunk. I'll call someone to take you home," I said. He shook his head. " No, I- I want to stay here with you," he whispered, placing his head on my forehead and closing his eyes. I let him have this moment for a few seconds before I pulled away. " I've tried so hard to keep my feelings at bay, I swear I did for my little brother because I know you're his world," he said. " I tried Adira, I swear by whatever deity out there," " I know," I whispered, holding his hands. " I know you did," " I wasn't a good brother to Wyatt, but I've been trying because, believe it or not, I
Rachel I was fumbling with the results in my hands, I knew what they contained, and I just needed to do the right thing and take them to Chance. I was about to get into my car when my brother aggressively grabbed my hand and turned me toward him. " Richard!" I growled, getting my arm back. Richard was fuming with anger. He lost the woman he wanted and was blaming me for it. " Is it true?" he asked. I squinted my eyes, and he only had to glare at my baby bump to find out what he was talking about. " Yes," I whispered, and he exhaled, breathing deeply. He laughed, it was cruel. " So not only were fucking around with another man, but we lied about the legitimacy of that unborn child," he hissed. " I'm sorry," I found myself saying. I knew this wouldn't look good on the family. I shall be the center of gossip and no one will want to associate with me. " I didn't know Chance would show up all of a sudden," I said and he stilled, " Lafayette?" he asked, and I nodded, that name
Adira I pinned Wyatt against the wall and held his arms firmly. I was close to him and his breaths were coming out heavy. "It's been a week, how long will you be distant?" I asked, kissing him. He tried to avoid my lips and when he couldn't, he bit me and I cursed. He switched our position abruptly and pinned my hands over my head. " Better," he whispered, looking down at my neck." You rile me up, why do you care about him?" he growled. " He's just a friend and if I'm to live my dream life with the man of my youth, I would want the same for him... I don't know why, I just do," " You're not responsible for his happiness," " Then why do I feel that I am?" I asked softly. " the truth is that Azriel has a special place in my heart, I'm sorry, Wyatt," I said and his eyes softened, I wasn't expecting that reaction from him. " I hate that I understand ... You have this connection that some people only hope to find," his voice was gentle. I knew what Azriel was to me; our souls were s
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
