*Alyssa*I blinked simultaneously trying to make sense of what I was seeing. Was it a trick of the light, or something more sinister? I glanced back at Rona, who seemed unaware of the mirror's strange reflection. She appeared worn out as if she had been drained of her vitality.Doubt nagged at me, but I pushed it aside. I trusted the woman in the mirror, despite the unsettling encounter between her and Rona. There was a greater purpose at play, and I needed to focus on unraveling the mysteries that surrounded me.With a deep breath, I tore my gaze away from the mirror and approached Rona. Placing a comforting hand on her shoulder, I smiled weakly. "Are you alright, Rona?" I asked, concerned about lacing my voice.Rona's tired eyes met mine, and she forced a smile. "Just a moment," Rona replied, her voice strained. She attempted to take a step forward, but a sudden searing burn engulfed her body, causing her to collapse onto the floor. I rushed to her side, panic coursing through my vei
*Alyssa*"Ah!" I moaned loudly as Rurac placed himself in between my legs. I could feel it, he had a boner and he was pressing down on my wet entrance, rubbing me there. Causing a delicious friction that felt immensely pleasurable all the while kissing and licking on my neck, arousing all my senses and making me vulnerable and bewitched by his movements."Ah... Alyssa....we need-" I brought him down on me and switched our positions. I was now laying atop him and straddling him feeling his cock twitch beneath me. "No talk for now.... please" I pressed my lips against his and he opened up for me to explore more and more on the insides of his delicious mouth. Suddenly, I felt myself being pulled back down to the bed. Rurac had switched positions once more."We don't need to stop talking" and he locked lips with me again. He was driving me crazy and still bringing me back to my sanity all at once but I didn't want my sanity back. Not now. Just not yet. I wanted him, I had no idea how crazy
*Alyssa*The afternoon sun spilled through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the room. As I slowly awakened from my deep comforting slumber, the first thing I noticed was the intense gaze of Rurac, fixed upon me. His eyes sparkled with a mixture of relief and adoration, and it took a moment for my groggy mind to register that our reunion was not just a mere dream."Good afternoon, my love," He murmured, his voice hoarse from sleep. "Is it all real? Are we truly together again?"Rurac's smile widened, and he reached out to caress my cheek. "Yes, Alyssa, it's real. You're safe, and we're finally together."A wave of emotion washed over me, as the weight of the past months' captivity lifted from my shoulders. I sat up, feeling the cool sheets slide off my body and rested at my hip, revealing my breast, and wrapped my arms around Rurac in a tight embrace. His familiar scent enveloped me, and I reveled in the warmth of his presence."I can't express how relieved I am to see you and be wi
*Alyssa*As I sat before my parents I couldn't help but feel a bit fulfilled. It's like we were complete except for that one person that had secluded herself from our lives a few months ago. Jenny. I'm sure she must've heard of the war going on. I thought she'd be worried about my safety and push through to me. I guess I was wrong about her.Sadness crept into my heart as I thought of how she had just abandoned our family knowing the consequences. Of course, she didn't try to come back. She almost started a war herself and she must think this war going on right now is her fault. I breathed a huge sigh, trying to get rid of my pained thoughts when suddenly I felt a warm hand wrap on mine. I gazed up to find it was Rurac's hand, he must've sensed my sadness and turned his attention to me.I gazed up at my parents. They both had a look in their eyes, one I had never seen on them before so I couldn't truly apprehend it or its meaning. The only thing I understood was that it seemed like a
*Rurac*As I sat before Alyssa's parents, I couldn't help but feel uneasy about Alyssa having the Amulet. She was right, the amulet does hold immense power but the power also comes with consequences for every power used. I had done my research on the Amulet of the Belvidere Illinois. And I found that once in control of it, the owner is eternally bound by the magical forces. Dreams, visions, and even the dead would seek the owner because of this immense power.The Amulet of Belvidere Illinois can bring one who is in the land of the dead for centuries back to life and it could also send one there. The Amulet itself has a guardian who was once a vampire, who is locked inside of it as punishment for its misdeeds while being alive. A selfish vampire guardian who had ruled over the vampires cruelly and had been caged inside the Amulet for centuries to cultivate herself.I wondered if Alyssa knew about this as well, but right now I couldn't object, the determination in her eyes made her so be
Alyssa.I saw it, the memories I knew weren't mine. I was on a strange continent surrounded by people of my kind, werewolves. I saw all of this girl's memory, a girl who looked exactly like me with no stark difference. No detail could help point out that she wasn't me.Then I met Rasmus, her mate who also had a stark resemblance to my mate Rurac. At first, I didn't understand what was going on but as I watched more and more of the memories I came to realize that I was seeing the memories of the girl in my Amulet and I am her second soul which was parted from her to represent her on earth.My mind immediately shifted to what she had said to me back in Azrael's camp and in that third tapestry. "Who... who are you?" I had asked her, my voice barely audible."I am the guardian of the Belvidere Illinois Amulet, Alyssa. I have chosen you Alyssa to be the new owner of the Amulet as you are the fated one. I am the embodiment of your true potential, the warrior within and a part you haven't fo
*Alyssa*Rurac and I got home on time, I wanted to use the Amulet's magic to teleport us, but I could still see disapproval in his eyes. I looked around the house that had now become a home for me. I missed it. I took in every single detail, burying it deep in my memory to not ever forget it.As we passed by the kitchen island, I found a tall figure with dark short hair sizzling something that smelt delicious. "Dimitri?" I called my voice barely above a whisper but just loud enough to get his attention."Nice to have you back my Lady" He turned and greeted me, I felt my mind swirling with thousands of emotions and I couldn't help it anymore and tried to move towards him and envelope him in a tight hug. But then, there was a tight grip at my waist and I looked up to find Rurac shifting his gazes everywhere except for me and Dimitri. His jaw clenched and his teeth ticked."What's wrong?" I asked but got no reply, instead, he released me from his grip. Free at last, I lunged myself towar
*Alyssa*I shivered again and nodded. "What about this?" He asked and kissed right under my ear. That was my weak spot. He suddenly latched his lips on my ear, suckling, licking, and biting at it. He then moved down to my neck and then my twin peaks. I felt his long nails drawing circles on my sensitive thighs and I couldn't help but want him to touch in between my legs.I kept praying in my head that he would finally get there and I didn't have to wait for long, he slowly moves his finger towards the direction of my wet area while sucking on my erected nipples, and I let out a loud yelp. I truly want him and I want him so bad. He trailed his fingers up until they were resting on my core."You're…." he commented."You are the reason of course"I cut him off. I needed him to do something now, it was torture feeling his fingers just resting there and doing nothing to satiate my burning need and desire, but I refused to beg no matter how needy I was.I held off for a bit longer. I wanted
*Alyssa*Amid the chaos, a small figure caught my eye. Xavier finally crawled. Oh, my baby! I watched him crawl towards Rurac and Rona, He must've crawled out of the that crib without me noticing it, I wanted to stop him from getting any closer, I feared Rona could harm him but I was too late as he had already reached out towards Rurac, his tiny fingers grasping onto his father's leg.Rurac's gaze shifted downward, and his eyes widened in astonishment as he gazed at Xavier in shock, Xavier was clinging to him as though begging him not to leave us. The sight was so beautiful and I couldn't help the tears that fell from my eyes. Just then, Rurac began to glow with a crimson light, just like Hunter.Rona suddenly moved away from him, a look of repulsion contorting her face. Rurac and I shared the same confused expression as we locked gazes. I had no idea what was going on and neither did Rurac. Suddenly a loud chuckling dragged me out of my reverie and I looked towards the pups to find Z
*Alyssa*My heart pounded hard against my chest as we followed Azrael through the dense woods. I clutched Rurac's hand tightly, my mind racing with fear and anticipation. I wondered how Rona had come to know that the quadruplets had powers but then she was a witch and a strong one at that. I feared for the lives of my pups and if Rona dares to harm them in any way then I won't spare her. I'll kill her on my own in the most painful way ever. I felt so desperate to see my pups, to hold onto them. Who knows how they are feeling right now? If they are scared or cold? Azrael kept leading us deeper and deeper into the woods.The trees grew thicker and I could barely see the light of the day. I couldn't help the feeling that we were being lured into a trap by Azrael, I couldn't trust him at least not after all he had done and now he suddenly appeared before me saying he'd help us find the pups. Finally, we reached a clearing where an old cottage stood. But the worst awaited us, the cottage
*Azrael*I suddenly thought back to Rona and her plans, could it be... My instincts told me i was right that Rona had most definitely gone against me. My instincts led me away from the ballroom.I searched around the surrounding areas, my senses heightened, suddenly I heard the sound of wheels and turned to the corner. I found a young lady dressed as a nanny carrying a stroller that looked to be for four babies. I approached her and gazed into her eyes and I immediately knew it. It was Rona, disguised as someone unfamiliar, but I recognized her. I'm sure she's the one as she is the only one foolish enough to walk on hot coals because she heard it'll give her fire magic. My heart raced as I realized that this must be why Rurac had left the party that way, she kidnapped the baby but now as promised. I'll make her pay for it.My eyes fell upon the empty stroller, and I knew that the babies must be in there somehow, I placed a hand in and felt the soft cheeks of a little pup. Anger and p
*Azrael*My head throbbed so badly as I slowly regained consciousness. The dim light filtering through the cracked windows of the old, run-down hut intensified the pain in my lower stomach. I groaned, attempting to sit up. The last thing I remembered was being attacked by a pack of werewolves near the borders of The Blue Moon Pack territory."Ah, you're awake," a voice called out, cutting through the haze of my thoughts. I turned my head to see Rona, she stood at the entrance with a calm expression on her face. She had fiery red hair, as she stood near a makeshift stove. She was stirring a pot that emitted a tantalizing aroma, pulling me further out of my daze."What happened? Where am I?" I croaked, my voice barely audible. Rona turned to face me, a soft smile playing on her lips."You were attacked by werewolves near the Blue Moon Pack's territory. I found you barely conscious and brought you here to my safe hideout," she replied, her eyes filled with concern. "You've been out for q
*Alyssa*I walked hand in hand with Rurac, we left our room and made our way down the hallway, the sound of our footsteps echoing softly. The excitement was palpable in the air as we approached the separate room where the pups were being cared for by their nannies. I could hear Zephyr's giggles and coos from a distance, filling my heart with warmth.As we entered the room, the scene before us was nothing short of adorable. The room was filled with nannies bustling around, attending to the needs of our precious pups all the while the photographer and his workers set up their cameras. We were going to be taking family photos to hang at the end of the hall of the palace. Although they were still too young to crawl, they were already trying their best, wiggling and squirming with determination. It was a sight to behold.Xavier, the eldest among them, sat quietly in the corner, his eyes fixed on his siblings. He had always been the calm and observant one, taking in the world around him wit
*Alyssa*I gazed into the eyes of Selena, Her eyes, once a sparkling blue, were now glowing with a blazing red hue. It was a beautiful yet frightening sight, one that sent a shiver down my spine."What Is it Alyssa? You need to feed them before they start crying louder." Rurac chuckled."Rurac," I whispered, turning to my mate, who stood beside me, his expression filled with concern probably sensing the shift in my expression. "Look at their eyes. They're glowing...Red?"Rurac's blue eyes widened as he leaned closer to examine our children. "You're right, Alyssa." He said, his eyes widening in confusion.Just as we were lost in our thoughts, Rurac's mother Leonor, ever wise and observant, approached us with curiosity etched on her face. "What's happening? Why are their eyes glowing?"Leonor had always been attuned to the mystical side of life, and her presence only heightened the tension in the air. Rurac looked at me, silently conveying his concern, before turning to his Leonor."We
*Alyssa*"Dimitri, I don't want you cooking my meals anymore," I ordered him and he looked amused by my sudden outburst."Is my cooking not to your liking?" He asked looking apologetic and I suddenly felt so guilty. "That's not it! I hate that I'm so mean to you making you work overtime because I'm always hungry." As I said that, I put a pancake into my mouth while breathing heavily."Alyssa. We're good friends remember and I want to be the only one to make your meals for you. I do not trust anyone else with this important task." I felt a sudden sense of gratitude at his words. "Alright but don't hate me, please." I pleaded."That's impossible, Alyssa, I can't hate a friend...." He said with a smile. I was so lucky to have people that understand my mood swings around me, even Rurac's mom and my mom and everyone who had been patient with me.Rurac's mother has always been there for me like a mother and Jenny who listened to all my bullshit. Oh, and now she was dating Dimitri. They had
*Alyssa*As the last verse faded into the air, we remained silent, savoring the lingering echoes of the poem. "Oh Rurac, that's so beautiful," I said with tears welling up in my eyes. We sat there together in a comforting silence when a sudden wave of drowsiness washed over me, enveloping my senses. The fatigue was overwhelming, and before I knew it, I succumbed to its embrace, my consciousness slipping away. I heard a light thud and immediately knew I had fallen accompanied by Rurac's fading worried voice calling out to me.When I regained consciousness, I found myself back in our room. The soft glow of a dimly lit corner caught my attention, and I turned my gaze to see Rurac sitting there, engrossed in his phone. He was probably scrolling online for something. He seemed to have noticed my awakening as he quickly stood up and hurried to my side."Hey, you're awake," Rurac said, his voice filled with concern. "Are you feeling alright? Do you need anything?"I managed a weak smile, fee
*Alyssa*I couldn't help but smile at his earnestness. He was worried, understandably so, and his way of dealing with it was to make sure I was okay. It was endearing, and I found myself appreciating his efforts, even if they were a bit or rather a lot much.As the day came to a close, I found myself leaning into Rurac, my head resting on his chest. He wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer as we settled in for the night. His hand rested on my stomach, and I knew he was already wishing to be able to feel those four tiny beings."I'm here for you, Alyssa," he whispered, his breath ruffling my hair. "Every step of the way."I looked up at him, my eyes meeting his. "I know, Rurac. And I appreciate it. I appreciate you."I woke up the next morning with a jolt, my eyes fluttering open as a wave of nausea washed over me. My head throbbed and my stomach churned violently, forcing me to bring out the food I had eaten the day before. I knew I had to move quickly, so I threw off the cove
