Goodbyes

last update Last Updated: 2021-05-18 11:50:57

We had decided to go a couple of towns over to eat. Lucien was quiet most of the ride. I wanted to ask him what was wrong but studying him more I could see he was tired and I wondered just what being at war with another pack meant. Were they actually fighting? As I sighed he reached over grabbing my hand squeezing it. Glancing up I smiled at him. I had missed him. Funny how things change, who would have thought that I would be in love with a werewolf.

The restaurant was crowded, following behind our waitress I inhaled the heavenly smell coming out of the kitchen. As we took our seats I gave my order for tea and spinach dip as an appetizer as we looked over the menu. Lucien and I sat side by side and my body sang with joy at his closeness. True to his world Jax chose the most expensive thing on the menu that came with a little bit of everything on it. Lucien and I both ordered a steak and shrimp combo that came with broccoli.

Taking a bite of the spinach dip I looked ov

    It took me longer than it should have to get up and make my way upstairs. I delayed a bit making my morning coffee and even Jax looked at me a little crazy but that could have been because I had pulled in a pair of plaid pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt and was walking around with my hair in a messy braid. Knowing he wouldn’t say no I cooked him breakfast and watched him eat it before heading up to the attic.I don’t know what I was afraid to find. Maybe I was afraid of what I wouldn’t find. Walking into the attic I walked straight to the desk pulling out Violet’s journal. I was amazed at her handwriting and her perfectly penciled drawings but it didn’t speak to me. I knew nothing about her gifts but I imagined it spoke to her. Nothing seemed to speak to me, not a single drawing not a single word.Sighing I slammed the book shut. “This is a waste of time,” I said out loud. Walking t

    Damien looked up at me, “can you feel him?” My hands started shaking. “I...I don’t know I don’t not feel him but he isn’t answering me.” “Have you felt anything different, anything off.” I nodded taking a few steps back as Jax entered beside him. “I felt, I felt as if the earth below my feet was shaking but then it stopped. What’s wrong? What’s happened.” Damien pulled his phone out of his pocket, “he’s still alive. He’s hurt but he’s still alive. I’ll take care of Samantha.” I looked instantly at Jax. I had never tried to communicate with him before. I reached out to him in my mind but came up short. As Damien hung up the phone I backed away. “What do you want.” He looked up frowning, “I’m not the enemy here Samantha. I came here as soon as we lost connection with Lucien. The last report was he was in battle. You would know if he is dead, he may be asleep somewhere trying to heal or he may be unconscious but you have to stay strong be

  • The Alpha and the Witch   Darkness

    Lucien’s POVI flashed my eyes open seeing nothing but soul-piercing black. No moon, no stars, nothing. I felt no connection to my pack, no connection to Samantha. My inner wolf was whining and I had to yell at him to hush. There were only a few reasons that my connection would be cut off. Either I was dead, they were all dead, or I was somewhere that refused to allow my signal out.The pain in my body let me know I was indeed alive and I refused to believe everyone else was dead. From the rocky terrain I felt under me I imagined I must have fallen down into some pit while I was fighting. I could remember the fight, I remember the Rogue and I jumping at the same time then nothing.Reaching out I felt a thick tar-like substance and instantly knew it was blood. Not just my own, no I could feel fur. The Rogue had not been as lucky as I. I had healed enough to turn back into my human form. There was no life coming from this cage, only my heartbeat. He had not

  • The Alpha and the Witch   Red

    Samantha’s POVI sat at the bar watching Damien look over a map. He had been snappy today. I knew he wanted to be out in the fight but they were too close for him to leave me. The rogues had pushed deep into our border overnight.“The baby knows you are upset, clear your mind, or shield it.”I sighed rubbing my stomach, “it’s not fair that you can hear his thoughts and I can’t.”Damien sighed, “he hears everything you tell him Sam but he can feel your emotions too. His inner wolf is strong and he can already feel the danger we are all in. You have to keep working with your crystals.”“The protection spell is still working. I just wish I could make it bigger.” I sighed, “In the past three months I had learned a lot. Damien had some of the others find me every book they could on crystals and I had learned to do a few basic spells. The spell I learned last week had been able to sh

  • The Alpha and the Witch   Anger

    Lucien's POVRed, it was all I saw, all I felt. When I had walked up and seen Samantha run to Damien I knew I was too late. He had always wanted what was mine. Always tried his best to get what was mine. Well he could have her, all I wanted was my son.I had been locked in this dark room for the better part of a week. Jax brought me food and drink in several times a day but I never spoke to him. Never even looked at him. The rage that had built up inside of me was threatening to burst out and he was not deserving of my wrath.My plates had begun to pile up, all I did was sleep and wake, then sleep again. Water had been the only thing I had given in and drank. I couldn't trust her not to poison me. I should have read through her. My mind had begun to wonder if she was even my mate, perhaps she had known all along she was a witch and had set her eyes on me to...what? I had no clue.Leaning my head back against my pillow I frowned hearing the door open. "Did

  • The Alpha and the Witch   Pieces

    Samantha’s POVI couldn’t sleep after Lucien had left my room. I should have been concerned by the mere fact that he had growled at me as if he was wanting to kill me but my head was more absorbed in the fact that he had licked me before he left. What had that meant? Was it good, bad, it drove me crazy.Getting up I went and found some clothes to change into before I made my way downstairs and made a big breakfast. Jax could eat. I wasn’t that hungry so after I was done I made Lucien’s plate and carried it to his room. I was unsure if I would find wolf or man as I gently swung the door open.Lucien was sat up in bed, the first time he had done anything more than lay since he had been brought home. It gave me hope that he was getting stronger if only his mind would heal as well. “I’ve brought you breakfast. I even made those nasty grits you like so much.”“Leave it,” he said simply. I nodded setting in

  • The Alpha and the Witch   Kidnapped

    Lucien’s POVI sat listening to my dad talk to our pack well aware of all the eyes on me. They were all trying their best to block their thoughts but I was their alpha, I could hear them and they all were wondering if I had lost my mind in my absence. The fact that they questioned me annoyed my inner wolf, he saw it as a betrayal but I saw it for what it really was.Damien sat across the room furthest from me. He was the one mind I couldn’t read. We had practiced so much on each other as children that we could both effectively block all communication with the other if we so chose. Feeling me watch him he looked up and arched his brow at me.My anger toward him had not faded although I now questioned exactly what I saw when I had first made it home. I had listened for any sign that Samantha was calling him or meeting up with him but all came back with nothing. Closing my eyes I sent him a direct message wondering if he had his walls completely up.

    I don’t know how long I had been tied up to a chair in the middle of a run down cabin when Nikko walked back in. As the door shut behind him I wondered if it would do any good for me to try and plead my case with him. Make him understand that I was a nobody. Only I was somebody to him, all because of the child that slept in my stomach.Nikko walked in taking off his jacket and throwing it on the table before he walked over to the fireplace stirring the coals. His brown hair seemed to glow in the fire’s light. Standing back up straight he turned toward me flicking his pocket knife open.I jumped my eyes growing huge, “no please, please don’t hurt me.”Sinking to his knees Nikko grabbed my hands slicing the rope that bind them before moving to my feet. “I’m going to untie you but if you try to run,” he paused looking up at me, “well just say I wouldn’t run if I were you.”The moment the ropes

  • The Alpha and the Witch   Night of the Full Moon

    Samantha’s POV Sitting in the rocking chair I shook my head listening to Lucien, Damien, Nikko, and Jax all argue about how to put the crib together. They all had their own opinions and almost all of them were wrong. Yesterday the diaper table had almost started another feud between the brothers and Jax always kept things stirred up. It would be funny if it wasn’t me having to break them apart. The boys got along for the most part but the last couple of days and their procrastination were taking its toll on all of them. Today was the last day they had to prepare everything. Tomorrow was the full moon. In the last month or two, Lucien had immersed me into his life. I’d finally been formally introduced to the entire pack. We had been talking to lawyers to legally adopt Jax. There was still a lot of unrest in the pack. Paul’s betrayal had stung deep. Nikko and his pack had been fully accepted in without too many arguments. No more borders, no more treaties, they

    Lucien’s POVMy hands shook as I walked up the driveway to Sam. I could see her waiting for me on the porch and it made me nervous. Me. Lucien Blackwood. Alpha of the Blackwood pack. Nothing ever made me nervous. Nothing except that small witch that carried my child. She was everything to me, everything to us.I could feel her eyes on me before I was even close enough for her to see me. What did I say to her? What had she told Nikko? My mind was running away with itself. I was afraid she was going to leave. Leave the pack. Even after being blessed by the moon. She had told me this wasn’t her world. She didn’t understand it and didn’t feel like she fit in. How did I explain to her that she was the missing piece to this puzzle?Samantha walked down the steps meeting me. Looking down at her I had to hold my inner wolf in. He wanted me to remind her who’s she was right then and there. Remind her that she was ours. I couldn’t let h

    Lucien’s POVAs I walked with my brothers to meet my father I couldn’t think how ironic it was. I was walking toward the one man I used to think the world of flanked with two of my former biggest enemies. One brother who had slept with my wife and one brother who was attracted to my mate. There had to be some destiny shit happening here.My father had us meet him at the old mills. I had always thought of it as a ghost town. It had been abandoned since the ’70s. Damien and I had been warned of the dangers but we had snuck down a couple of times. It had always creeped me out a little. The whole place creaked and the old building were falling down around themselves.“He’s close,” Damien said looking around.I nodded, “he’s hiding in the shadows up ahead. He has people stationed along the edge of the woods but I can’t read them. They aren’t ours.”As I turned to look at Nikko he shook hi

    Samantha’s POVI sat on the swing looking out at the woods. I knew he was coming, I could feel him. The sun had set leaving nothing put stars to light up the night, the moon was nowhere to be seen. I wondered where Lucien was, I could feel him but he wasn’t approaching. Why would he send Nikko to me?The minute Nikko broke through the tree lines I felt a little twinge of excitement and I had to ball my hands at my side to not rush up to him. It was important for me that things go smoothly for him, I didn’t want him to lose everything he had gained because of me. Yet still, as he walked closer to me our eyes connected and that same forbidden bond was there.It drove me crazy. This place was turning me into someone I wasn’t and it scared me. Nikko paused at the foot of the steps looking up at me. “Are you ok?”I nodded unbarring my fits at my side, “yes. No. I don’t know Nikko I’m confused.”

    Samantha’s POVSeeing the tears in Lucien’s eyes was my undoing. Even in his own pain he wrapped his arms around me and held me until it was time for him to go. As he left I clutched Aunt Violet’s journal to my chest, I was determined to learn more about her. Maybe I could even decipher some of the visions others couldn’t.“I love you,” I sent Lucien as he reached the tree line.Turning back to look at me his voice appeared in my head, “I love you too. My Luna. My moon.”As he disappeared behind the dense trees I wiped more tears from my eyes. Lucien loved me, he loved me even after my betrayal to him. I would have lost my mind if he had told me he had kissed another girl but he, he had accepted it for what it was and moved on.Walking inside the house I went and made a cup of coffee before I opened Aunt Violet’s journal. Her handwriting was at times hard to read. She wrote wit

    Lucien's POVAs we walked back to her house I kept stealing glances at Sam, her tear-streaked face brought pain to me every single time. Don't get me wrong, my inner wolf was furious at her. He was ready to snap but I couldn't. I would never turn on her again. I had control of my inner wolf, not the other way around. He obeyed me, for without me there was no him.Jax was standing on the porch awaiting us. "Did you get it," I asked?Nodding Jax handed over a worn leather journal, his eyes focused on my poor Luna who was obviously distressed. We had to figure this out. I didn't need my dad's rendition, I needed to read the vision in Violet's own hand.Walking up the steps Sam and I set on the porch swing and I handed over the journal to her. "This is every single one of your Aunt's visions. Some were incomprehensible and made no sense to anyone but her. Some have come true. The pack believed in her abilities and take her word as fact.

    Samantha’s POV“Excuse me, what did you just say?” I looked at Lucien as if he had lost his mind.Things had started off fine this morning. We had made our way downstairs and I was in the middle of cooking breakfast when I decided to ask him about the treaty. I don’t know for sure if it was the way he kept trying to dodge the question or the fact that we were still alone in the house but I knew there was more to the story than he was telling me.“There is a clause in the treaty that states neither pack can cross into the other’s territory without starting a war.”Once again he said it just like he was saying it was going to rain this afternoon. “Lucien he is your brother. Don’t you want to get to know him?”“No,” Lucien said looking up at me. “He seems decent enough for a rouge but there is nothing to tie me to him, Sam.”Shaking my head I turned my back on h

I couldn’t place them, I couldn’t quiet them down. I was exhausted and it was starting to show.“The treaty has been signed,” Damien said looking over at me as he pushed the swing back off with his feet.“No war?”Damien shook his head, “not with Nikko, dad however is still unclear.”Frowning I looked up at the mood, “is Lucien really back normal?”Once again Damien shook his head, “yes. He snapped out of it the moment he sensed you were in danger. I think Nikko might have knocked him down a peg or two by taking you. Lucien has always thought he was untouchable.”
