---Divina---
Warrick gets in his Camaro and reaches across me and grabs my seat belt and buckles me in. Our faces are close to each other, and he reaches his hand up and cups my cheek, sliding it to the back of my neck and leans in to kiss me. I turn my face away and he ends up kissing my cheek.
“I’m still mad at you. You don’t get to snuggle up with Vanessa and then kiss me later. I have some standards.” I glare up at him and his breath catches in his throat.
Somebody's jealous!
Please leave me a comment. I would love to hear your thoughts on the story and if you are enjoying it, I would love for you to leave me a gem! Have a beautiful day!
---Divina--- As my anger dissipates and I realize that I am straddling Warrick’s lap and kissing him, I came back to my senses. I jump back to my side of the car and find the door handle and nearly stumble out onto my ass trying to put space between us. His bewildered look would have made me laugh if I wasn’t so pissed off.He starts to get out of his car and I hold my hand up. “Don’t! I need some space to think. Please… Just give me a minute.”
Finally, she stirs and looks up at me and I am tempted to brush my lips against hers, but I hold back.Sheseems to begathering herthoughtsso I sit patiently waiting for her to speak. She stares down at her hands, twisting them in her lap as she speaks, “Alina agrees with you that we hide we are mates for now, but it will be important for us to strengthen our bond because it will be tested.I don’t know what she means by that, but it scares me.I don’t know what this is between you and I, but I am also afraid to lose it.’ She looks up at me as she says those last words and I can’t help but, reach up and smooth her hair away from her face and cup her cheek. I gently rub my thumb under her eye, c
She gives me a dazzling smile and hops out of the car and leads me into the pack house, stopping in the kitchen to grab us some drinks and movie snacks.I follow her into the media roomwhere Bren and Brandon are arguing over which movie to watch.Bren wanted a romantic chick flick and Brandon wanted an action thriller. When they notice us walk in, Bren, raises an eyebrow, but doesn’t comment on my presence. Instead, she smiles at Divina and says, “Divina, you be the tie breaker. Romantic movie or Action Thriller.” “Umm, let me think.”Divinapretends to think for a momentand says, “Sorry, Bren, it has to be an action thriller.&nb
---Divina--- I am sitting on my window seat FaceTiming Tia for the first time since my mom and I moved. I already walked her around my room and sheoooh'dand awed over it while I gushed about how much I loved it. It was good to hear fromher,but our FaceTime was awkward.It felt like we were two strangers forced into a conversation out of obligation and I knew we would end up talking a couple more times before we stopped all together.
---Warrick--- I was content to stand on the front lawn and just hold Divina, but Alpha Zane was having none of it. He steps forward and says, “Divina. Gloria.It'stime to go on your first run.” Gloria squeals in excitement and is jumping up and down. That girl can be a bit much at times. I grin down at Divina and quickly kiss her on
It'sFriday.This has been the longest week of my life.Even though Bren insisted I started training right away, I have opted to wait and start tomorrow. Last night was incredible and Ican’twait to go flying again.Unclewasn’thappy with me when he found out I flew without him there.He said some nonsense about that I could have been hurt, but honestly,I think hejust wanted to see it for himself. Our whole pack is under an Alpha command not to tell a soul that Gloria and I have already shifted and that there is something more to me than a
---Warrick--- I was looking forward to seeing Divina at lunch and when shedidn’tshow, I tried to mind link her, but she was blocking me. Did I do something wrong? I wrack my brain and think back over this morning anddon’tthink so.I noticed afterawhile, Greg got up and walked over to the deli counter and came back with a wrap and a bottled water that hedidn’teat.That’sodd for him.He eats more than Brandon and that guy can eat. Damien: ‘What’sup with you?You areawfully quiet.’
I drop the mind link and realize that we are entering the training grounds and am shocked to see around 50 people stretching and some are already sparring. I gulp. Idon’tknow if I can do this. The man that spoke to my mom and I the first day we entered the pack territory, walks over to us and nods respectfully to Bren and looks over at me and takes in my attire. His look is a bitdisapprovingand he says, “You’llhave to lose the baggy top. Your sparring partner will have that up and over your face before you can blink." “Divina, this is Marcus, dad’s Head Warrior, and he runs the training program for our
--Warrick-- “I have a surprise for you,” I tell Divina and she looks up at me, her brow creasing slightly in confusion. “What, surprise?” she asks and looks around the front yard. Her eyes land on Greg standing on the porch by Aria and a huge grin spreads across his face and he waggles his eyebrows. Divina snorts at his antics and looks back at me. “Why is he acting like a goofball?” she asks, warily. Her eyes are wide, and she looks more innocent and beautiful than I have ever seen her. No makeup, the freckles that lightly dust her cheeks and nose on display for me to see, and her hair is starting to come loose from her hastily thrown back hair. I take her natural beauty in and am more determined to show her we could work. Ember and Milly come running around the corner of the house, shrieking in delight as one of the older pups chase them across the lawn. Divina’s face lights up as she watches Ember, and I can see the mother she will someday be, and I am more than ready to start
Greg watches as Warrick ushers Aria and Liam inside and I can hear the distant laughter of Ember and Milly as they run across the back yard, playing tag. When the door closes, he focuses his attention on me and studies my face for a long moment before taking my hand and tugging me along. I don’t ask him where we are going, content to just walk silently beside him enjoying the warmth of him. We walk and walk for a good ten minutes before Greg stops suddenly and turns to me. “Tell me what’s bothering you, Angel,” he says and watches me intently. I groan and drop my head into my hands. “Where do I even start!” I wail and then everything tumbles out of me. “I’ve been asleep for three freaking years, Greg! I lost three years of your life, the rest of my family’s life, Bren, Brandon, Gloria, Damien, Ember.” My voice cracks at the end when I say Ember’s name. “Hey, it’s okay. Shhh,” Greg says, and pulls me into his arms and presses my head to his chest. I don’t fight him. I need the comfort o
---Warrick--- It has been a week since Divina woke up, but we have barely gotten any time alone. As soon as the word got out that she was awake just about everyone she knows, and loves converged on us. Ember has barely left her side and is afraid that Divina will go back to sleep and not wake up again no matter how many times we assure her that won’t happen. I moved us back into the pack house and we are currently sitting on the porch swing with Divina tucked up under my arm and her head resting on my shoulder. My fingers lightly grazing up and down her arm as I relish in her closeness. She lets out a content sigh and snuggles in closer. Little Ember is nestled in my lap with her feet draped onto Divina. She is always touching her now. Always. (After it was clear that Divina wasn’t going to wake up anytime soon, I drug myself away from her and made the long trip to the Timberwolf Pack and brought Ember home with me. I knew Divina would not want her left there and I have grown to lo
---Divina--- Oh, God, my head throbs and I am too hot. Way too hot. Why does it feel like I am pressed against a furnace? I try to move, but a weight is pressing down on my chest and my arms are not wanting to cooperate. What the hell is tickling my nose? I blink my eyes open only to slam them shut as white-hot light pours into my eyes from the window. I groan and turn my head to the side trying to get away from whatever is tickling me and that damned bright light. I feel something shift and move on my chest. It feels like little hands and feet scrambling to a sitting position. “Are you awake?” a little whisper sounds close to my ear causing me to flinch. When I try to speak my voice is hoarse and my throat is dry. “Yes?” I say and it comes out as a question. I blink my eyes and stare into beautiful green eyes, with an angelic freckled face that is framed by flaming red curls. “Ember? What are you doing here and when did you get so big?” I ask. Ember’s eyes grow soft, and she gives
It is complete chaos as the crowd tries to get out of my way. I could care less about any of them. My only thought is to get that angel bitch and then make Warrick pay when I am done with her. I wonder if I should kill him too, or just make him watch as I snuff out her life and then force him to be my slave mate. Hmm. That actually soudns appealing. I could ask Ahrimon to compel him with her bite. If he survived it that is. It’s been an option all along, but I have been hesitant to use it because demons kill their mates more often than not when trying to mark them. The blood lust is unreal and hard for them to control themselves. Like a vampire, but a hundred times worse. Our eyes lock on our target and we make a beeline for her, not caring who is in our way. We toss werewolves and pups around like they are rag dolls and their cries of anguish fill us with pleasure down to our bones. Ahrimon was made for chaos and destruction and she shivers in pure bliss at the upheaval we are causing
“I am so nervous! I can’t believe this day is finally here!” I exclaim and marvel at the beautiful dress my best friend, Janae, picked out for me. “You look absolutely stunning!” she says and smooths down the sides of my dress. I squeal and do a little happy dance. “Oh, this is really happening!” Janae sighs and turns me around to face her. “I hope you know what you are doing. All those things you have told me about Warrick in the past.... I just hope this isn’t some revenge plot or something to get you and your family back for killing his mate.” I scoff and knock her hand off my shoulder, “Nobody killed her. She is still alive and being held prisoner as we speak.” She raises an eyebrow and gives me “the look”. “What?” I ask her. “Does Warrick know she is being held prisoner right now?” she asks. “I... I don’t think so.” I tell her. My confidence starting wain. “You sure about that?” she asks. “Look. Even if he does know, he doesn’t care about her anymore. She chose that Greg guy ov
--Vanessa-- As I watch Warrick drive away the reality of becoming his Luna sets in and I can’t help the wide smile that spreads across my face. Finally, I am going to take my rightful place by his side. Daddy will be so proud of me for not ever giving up even after Warrick kicked me out of his apartment. I have been told my whole life that I would be Luna of the Blood Moon Pack and our pups would be the key to changing the world so that werewolves and demons would take our rightful place as masters of this world and those who have driven us into the shadows will suffer the consequences! The angels’ and humans’ time on this earth are numbered. No more Miss Perfect Angel, with her stupid perfect skin and hair, and her strange blue eyes, standing in my way. She must be the daughter of one of the Archangels to have even survived what my dad did to her. I can’t believe Selene would pair a werewolf, angel hybrid with a werewolf demon hybrid. What kind of sick joke was she playing when she
I pull my Camaro off the side of the road and stare at the entrance to my pack's territory. I haven’t been back here in so long. The thought of what I am about to do turns my stomach and I come close to turning my car around. “Hey, Warrick, is that you?” my father’s Beta calls to me from the gate entrance. “Yeah, it’s me. How’ve you been, Beta Gedeon?” I ask. He walks to the edge of the entrance and squints over at me for a moment before answering. “I’ve been good. What brings you back here? I didn’t know you were coming,” he asks. I clear my throat and take my time answering, “I’m here to see Vanessa. I heard she was staying here while our dads were away.” Gedeon gives me a long look and sighs, “Yeah, she’s here. That girl is bat shit crazy.” I couldn’t agree more, but I have a part to play. I am out of my car and in his face before he can blink and wrap my hand around his throat. “Don’t you ever disrespect my future Luna like that again,” I growl in his face. Gedeon’s eyes go wid
Over these past few weeks, I have been busy. I got word to Divina’s father and gave him all the details. We’ve been in constant contact making plans. Greg and Aria are an integral part of these plans. I hate having to rely on him again, but no one can know that Divina and I have had contact, so when we do formulate an escape plan, I can’t be there. The Angel settlements know the danger coming their way and have joined together unlike anything I have ever seen. From what Greg has shared with me, they were a peaceful people and didn’t know how to fight and had just been relying on staying hidden this whole time. I find that hard to believe because I have been helping to train the men, they have sent to the Timberwolf Pack, and they are vicious fighters and have learned very quickly. More than once, they have mentioned Divina’s fighting skills and how she would take on multiple men at once and it was like she was dancing through and around them. One man spoke how fighting should be so vio
