Cade POV
Sauntering over towards the dress shop where Adina was last seen, I take a whiff of the air and can smell the magic and scent of she-wolves. This is going to be a piece of cake, I think to myself. Almost like there has been a magical trail for me to follow…
Jingle, jingle
“I’m sorry sure you’ll have to come back tomorrow, we’re closed today for some, uh, remodeling.” Says one of the employees.
She is very pretty for a she-wolf, I guess. But maybe I can persuade her to change her mind and not throw me out. Time to work my magic.
“I’m sorry Ms. I didn’t catch your name… I’m Cade. I couldn’t help but notice you in here by yourself and how absolutely stunning you were. I just had to come get this movie stars name and see what your obvious upcoming movie was going to be since there was no way such a gorgeous woman like yourself was working in this kind o
Adina’s POVI don’t know what happened in the dress shop but definitely thankful that we were able to teleport out of there. Who knows what could have happened to us if aunt Serena hadn’t seen Prince Augustus’ men lurking around the café while we were taking in lunch and the view. I don’t think we would have eluded them so successfully if we hadn’t already been on our toes. Walking over to the bathroom mirror I look myself over trying to see if there is anything to this notion that my wolf is coming forward despite having my wolf and powers bound. There doesn’t seem to be anything different that I can see… I still look and feel the same. Wait… my eyes… They look like they’re on fire. How can my eyes be on fire and not burning? This is crazy… Suddenly I’m surrounded by a white ethereal light, it’s Selene.“Adina, so good to see you again my child.” She smi
“Aunt Serena, do you know Legion?” I ask as we enter her quarters. “Yes, they have helped me out a time or two. Aren’t they nice?” Serena answers. “I released them, it was so crazy! I had this power come out of me like a forced gust of wind, but it was filled with light.” Turning around to face me she looked at me pensively. “I see.” Was all she could say. “I mean I guess we should have expected it since Selene told us my wolf was powerful. You even said so yourself at the dress shop. Speaking of dress shop, I think we are missing some finishing touches for my crowning.” “Your crowning… Yes, we have to get you a crown now. Do you have something in mind now that we have the dress picked out?” Serena says as if being snapped back to the present. “Yes, I think I finally do… I want something simple and timeless to last for eternity. I can draw it out, would that be helpful for the jeweler?” “There’s no time for a human jeweler to m
Josh POVI smelled her before she even stepped foot in the ballroom. Honeysuckles, apricots, and jasmine tickled my nose. I had been waiting for the annual unmated ball that the Alpha and Luna, King and Queen held every 5 years to see if my mate was there. So glad I don’t have to wait for this mock ball Augustus has tried to throw these last 10 years. They have been pure torture to attend. Many of the she-wolves are married and unhappy. It is no longer living up to its purpose to help unmated find their true mates. But my wolf has done nothing but howl in my head with delight over finding our mates scent here today. She must truly be divinely special if she is here for this occasion. I hope my Luna will love my people as much as I will love hers.Watching Princess Adina walking to Serena’s throne… that’s her, my mate… Lex my wolf won’t stop going nuts. But she’s Queen… There has to be a mistake, I canno
Serena’s POV“Welcome to the family Joshua.” As she walks over and embraces him.“Just Josh, please. Thank you for welcoming me to your family. She is a tremendous treasure. I hope to be worthy of her. Please allow me to introduce, my Beta Marcus.”Marcus comes up the steps to greet us. Bowing slightly, “Your majesties, it is an honor to serve you.”“Thank you, Marcus. This is my commander and chief of the royal guards Mada. I felt it was time she deserved a promotion and semi-retirement.”“Mate.” Mada says.Looking up at Mada, Marcus also says “Mate.”“Well, it seems that you all have been blessed with mates today.” Serena says to us. “Now that the mating ceremony is complete for you Adina and Josh, shall we go have a crowning and mating reception in the dining room?“Yes, we have.” Josh says to Aunt Serena.
Adina’s POVWhen will these visions stop? I have so many things I want to get accomplished today and I just can’t seem to get away from these.“Why did you have to leave me Adam?” Eve calls out distressed, in my vision.Luna Eve is frantically running around looking for something as well. I don’t see anything specific, just thick black smoke billowing from a strange pack house. Nothing in this vision I can place my finger on for reference. Pack members are scrambling for children and fleeing for their lives. Suddenly there can be heard screams of pain and agony. Looking in Eve’s direction I can see children crying for parents. It is all out war. Homes are on fire and being burned to the ground without any decency. There in the distance Eve stops and suddenly becomes filled with rage and shreds her clothes shifting into her wolf form and makes a full charge behind where I’m standing in my vision. Turning around j
Mmm… what is that smell?Waking up seems like a chore this morning. Yesterday events seem like a mere dream than today’s reality. Feeling the other side of the bed for Josh, I’m met with cold empty sheets. Maybe it was a dream? Propping myself up on my elbows I see fresh hot coffee steaming from the nightstand next to the bed. Along with it is a note and a rose.Good morning my beautiful Luna! I’m sorry I couldn't stay in bed and watch you wake. I had to much energy flowing in my veins from the excitement of finding my mate. I made you coffee and toast to hold you over until I could come take you for a proper breakfast. Please wait for me to get back. I went for a morning run to let Lex out. I’m looking forward to spending time with you. XOXO,
Walking hand and hand through the city of Napoli has been a wonderful adventure. Staring out of the car into space I find myself lost in thoughts of the past, my youth, my parents, missing them, all the things they missed out witnessing as I was growing up. Things are not the same without them here and in my present. Snuggled up against Josh I look out to the Mediterranean Sea to find some solace with my thoughts while I’m wrapped up in my mates’ arms. Going around the bend in the road the suns reflection catches me in the eyes just right. Having the sunshine blanket my face in heat I feel so comfortable that I fall asleep.“Hello my child.” Selene greets me in my dream.“Seems like just yesterday we were visiting at my coronation, Goddess.” I say with a smile across my face.“I wish it could be that way for you always. But time is short. Augustus knows when you leave your Aunt’s realm. He has been hunting you for
A phone rings in the background… Ring, Ring. Sauntering over to her desk Serena answers her phone. “Yes?” Trying to figure out what is going on Josh and I walk closer to her. Serena has had a lifetime of learning to not give anything away. You can tell she’s disturbed by the time the call ends. “Well, Adina, while we may have the future playing out on the wall it is only a glimpse into a specific portion of the future. It isn’t everything. That call was from one of my security team that was escorting you home from your outing today. There was a huge ambush. Several of my team were lost, specifically those who were unable to port out of there. And those who could, saved as many as they could. It seems that Augustus’ bloodlust and his desire for you has not waned over the years only intensified.” “Oh no!” Josh sensing my terror embraces me while we listen to Serena speak. “This has gone on long enough. I am growing tired of Augu
Serena’s POVI don’t know why I thought I would be safe being turned from a witch to a vampire and then having a wolf mate turn me again. Time is not on my side and while I age slower than the rest, I have grown weary of these games of men. I wish that Selene had told me these things when my mate and I approached her to be turned into a wolf. She knew what the future held and as my half-sister she shouldn’t have told me. I deserved to know. Not find out blindly like the rest.“Serena, Serena, tsk-tsk, you know better than to try to think I can’t hear your thoughts, sister.” Selene says as her ethereal light warms the room before she appears.“You should have told me. We’ve grown up knowing portions of each other’s futures and what they hold for both of us. How dare you hide the truth. You tell Adina but not me? I can literally feel your life force fading. That little vampire gift of life and healing
Back in the Moon Kingdom…“I don’t care who fucked the mission up Evan! Augustus is going to be pissed he doesn’t have that bitch yet. We can’t keep making mistakes like this. It’s sloppy.” Spews Duke almost foaming at the mouth with rage.Cade and Evan are having no success at calming their elder brother down. Unfortunately, they know he is right. That having her loose in the Witches kingdom will only further draw the wrath of Augustus. Having that failed kidnapping attempt only will piss him off. They had to come up with another plan and execute it swiftly.“It’s not like we didn’t make a dent in the convoy. We didn’t know what we were up against. We underestimated them.” Cade says to Evan.“I just don’t understand how we had eyes on her and then she vanished into thin air. That’s just not possible, unless there’s a vampire at play here and we didn&
