*This is an 18+ spicy scene. If you are uncomfortable with this please move to the next chapter.*VioletThe door to the bathroom opens and I freeze. I know that I had locked it.I feel my walls still pulsating around my fingers and I slowly slip them from my heat. My cheeks are burning red because no matter who it is here, it is embarrassing to be caught in this predicament.But his scent of blackberries and oak overwhelms my senses. Selene practically purrs in delight knowing that he’s here. That he’s so close and he could join. That it wouldn’t take much effort at all for us to mark one another tonight.The door closes behind him and it locks. His footsteps are loud as he walks closer to me. I glance up to meet his gaze, his every movement looks absolutely primal. His hazel green eyes are practically glowing as they roam over every part of my body.My natural instinct is to cover up, but it surprises me how brazen Selene is because she whispers to me, “Don’t. Be confident in this in
VioletI can feel Phoenix watching me and I know he is wearing that damn amused smirk. I am terrified to open this bathroom door. I’m positive that at least Magnolia will be awake if not both her and Charlie and I will never hear the end of how I shouldn’t be doing this kind of stuff when they’re on the other side of the wall.But it was worth it. So freaking worth it.I open the door and relief instantly floods through me seeing that the two of them are still asleep. I walk to the small love seat that is a few feet in front of Phoenix’s bed. I look back and watch as Phoenix walks over to me and then lies down on the floor, laying on his side as he watches me. My eyebrows knit together and I say, “If you’re tired we can wake the others so you can have some rest.”He shakes his head no and tells me, “We all need rest right now. I’m not waking them, I can sleep in my bed later.”I nod my head in understanding, but remain sitting up and he raises an eyebrow and says, “You need rest, Vio
MagnoliaI can’t fall back asleep after that scare with Phoenix’s sister.I’m the only one that seems bothered though. Charlie went to take a shower, Phoenix fell asleep on the loveseat, and Violet is sleeping in the bed. I sit beside Violet, staring at the door and wondering if I should make a move. I feel restless, and I feel something urging me to go to the door and explore. I can feel Ada’s presence in my mind, she seems tempted by the door as well. It’s all so… unusual.It’s weird getting used to having another being inside your mind. I’m grateful that I can trust her and her intuition, but there are times she scares me. She’s full of a lot of anger and sadness, an absolutely devastating sadness, knowing that she has no mate. She has no one to look forward to spending a life with.I take a deep breath, feeling more antsy by the minute, especially because there’s something drawing me out, making me long for a minute to explore.My eyes flicker to Violet who is still peacefully as
VioletThe door is open, the hallway is empty, and the pack house is deathly quiet. I whisper to Phoenix, “Is it always like this?”He responds, “Yes, my father enforces a strict curfew. Even with him gone, people are too scared to cross him.”I nod my head, my shoulders relaxing a little knowing that the likelihood of us getting caught tonight is even less than I thought. I take a step out of his room, and immediately there is something… pulling me. I’m being drawn to a certain direction.Am I feeling the same thing that Magnolia was? If so, I understand why she wanted to come out here before everyone else. As I walk, I feel Charlie’s hand grab onto the hem of my shirt, making sure there’s no chance we will get separated. I take a breathe as I get to a staircase leading to the first floor of the house.Each moment I feel a little more brave, but that also frightens me. I don’t want to get cocky and put my shield down. The silence makes me uneasy, it’s like someone is just waiting for
CharlieI watch as Violet tries to tear down the magic that keeps this hidden door so guarded. While she does this, I keep an eye on the hallway we came from and occasionally, I watch her. Unfortunately, I haven’t been around magic much, I can’t tell if anything she is doing is actually helping whatever this is going on. She’s working hard though, I can see the sweat dripping from her face from the strength of the exertion and concentration this required. Every time she thought she did it, her face brightened, only for her to growl as she ran into a new obstacle.We’ve been in here for over an hour. I’m not concerned about us getting caught, there’s no activity in the house and if this leads to Violet’s mom then I think Xavier Black is the only one that comes down here and he won’t be back for hours.My shoulders straighten as I hear Phoenix whisper yelling my name, “Charlie! Violet!”Phoenix and Magnolia walk past us and I whisper, “Vi, put the wand away.”She turns back and looks b
MagnoliaThe bright blue light is almost blinding when you first see it. I walk into the room first, followed quickly by Charlie and Phoenix. Phoenix shut the door behind us, I can faintly hear the sound, too mesmerized by the sight in front of me.There’s a tube in the center of the room that’s connected to both the floor and the ceiling. Inside, there’s this blue… liquid? I don’t know what it is. It looks magical. It has the most ethereal glow to it, I’ve never seen anything like this before, and I know this is what has been calling out to me. Begging me to find it… to release it’s power.It’s hard for me to speak, completely distracted by this thing in front of me. My voice is soft as I ask Phoenix, “Do you know what this is?”I force myself to look away from it as I turn to face Phoenix. He seems just as mesmerized as I was as he shakes his head, not taking his eyes off the giant tube, and says, “I have no idea what this thing could be.”I look back it and I can’t resist presses m
Donovan StoneFlashback- 3 years agoThis day never should’ve come to past. We’ve worked so hard to give our Violet the best life that we could and more than anything, we’ve worked so hard to not get caught.She’s running as fast as I am, Penelope got separated from us, but my duty now it to keep Vi safe. I push on her back as I urge her to go faster, “Keep going, Vi.”Her head bobs up and down and she tries to do as I told her. The hairs on my body stand when I hear Penelope’s voice cry out in pain and Xavier’s sadistic laugh follows her cry. I grab Violet’s arm and yank her back. She gasps, her eyes wide, and I brush her hair from her face and tell her earnestly, “Listen to me, Violet. You need to keep running. Do not stop, no matter what! And no matter what you hear, do not look back. Okay, baby?”I try not to cry in front of her as I take this moment to memorize every inch of her face. Her safety is all that matters. But I can’t let Xavier have Penelope, not alive, he can cause to
VioletMy heartbeat is thundering so loud, so violently inside of me that it makes my ears hurt. I stand in front of my dad, this ghost of a man from what I remember.Everything hurts right now, the roaring in my head, the sob building up inside of me, the guilt eating me alive knowing that this is what he has turned into and… it’s because of me.I said his name out of shock, “Dad?”He stares at me, emotions swirling in his eyes as he tries to figure out if I’m truly who I said I am. Suddenly, it seemed to hit him and his voice is panicked and he looks around the room, scared something will jump out and ruin everything. He asks, “What are you doing here? You have to get out of here! Our sacrifice, it can’t be for nothing.”I blink back the tears, forcing myself to be the steady one right now. I put a hand on his arm and force myself not to shake even though right now, all I truly want to do is crumble. I tell him, “Dad, calm down. I’m here. I’m here to save you and mom.”He frowns, I
Five Months Later.QuirinaBryce and I officially became the Alpha and Female Alpha of the Moon Stone Pack three months ago. Annabelle and Franklin became our Beta couple, Hiro and Hazel became our Gamma couple, and Rowan and Winnie are enjoying not having as many responsibilities.All the issues we previously had with Hazel completely disappeared when she finally accepted Hiro as her mate. Because when he marked her, he was able to take away her gift. He holds her power and give it back to her if she ever wants it, but she seems thrilled about no longer seeing when people will die.Mom and dad still live at the pack house, but they are enjoying no longer being in charge and getting to fully focus on Felicity. I don’t know if they’ll ever go anywhere without her again because she has struggled with separation anxiety ever since they returned home.My biological parents have come to visit me and to meet the rest of my family. I talk with them at least 3 times a week, they are perfectly
QuirinaBryce, Charlie, and Harper and I headed home after only two days after the fight. There weren’t many survivors left that were a part of the trafficking ring, but there were tons of kids in the school. My parents along with Magnolia and Hendrix are meeting up with other pack leaders and trying to split up the rest of the people appropriately. There will be no more Supernatural Academy and no more trafficking.I mean, we know it’s impossible to completely abolish all trafficking, but we have done our part and this has helped to take down a huge contributor. I’m ready to be back home, the desire to be some place familiar and to unwind after all the recent events. Bryce had marked me, but I still haven’t marked him, it hasn’t felt right. He’s practically buzzing and glowing with some energy he has now. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know he received some of the powers that I absorbed.I haven’t even discovered everything I absorbed in that moment. I was so desperate to be
BryceThe door opened and we had been expecting more guards or for more prisoners. But now, Phoenix Stone walks into the room.All the guards that had been sitting without a care in the world suddenly stand at attention. I watch in fascination as dark black swirls crawl up Phoenix’s arms and he smirks, “If I were you, I would lock yourself in one of the cages. Or else I’ll make you crumble like the rest of them.”Most of the guards seemed concerned as soon as he said that. Everyone has heard of what Alpha Stone is capable of, and everyone knows that he would do anything for his family and for the legacy he had created. But there’s a couple of guards who doubt him. And one asks, “What do you mean by the rest of them?”Phoenix gives the most wicked smile I’ve ever seen, it’s almost bone-chilling in it’s ruthlessness as he says, “You would not be my first death of day. Now, I will count to five and whoever is out of the cells, well… we’ll get to have some fun.”After that announcement p
QuirinaI think most people would find it odd if I told them that I actually thrive off of chaos. But the moment that I zapped the cameras and everything went down, I took off running. I could hear the whole mansion as it descended into chaos. Everyone complaining, trying to keep guard of their current prisoners, and trying too figure out what the hell happened to me.I can’t help but smirk to myself as I run. I don’t know where I’m going or what exactly I’m doing, but I’ve caused enough chaos that I have time to search without instantly getting caught. I find a stairwell and run down it as fast as my legs can carry me. The first door I see on my right, I open to turn into only to be instantly met by a group of five warriors. I close the door back and take off running back down the stairs, I hear them behind me. Fear is gripping my heart now as I am more panicked than before.I enjoy chaos, but I don’t enjoy the adrenaline that comes with it. It makes me struggle to think clearly and
QuirinaI have to get out. I have to find help. I don’t know what I’m going to do… they’ll figure it out as soon as I leave the mansion and then I’ll be captured before I get anywhere close to the pack borders.My mind is reeling as I rush from one room to the next hopefully getting further from the danger but honestly who knows? I’m running on instinct here.I need to find my family, all of them. Because regardless if we’re blood related or not, we are all family. I try to reach out through the mind link but I huff in frustration as I realize no one is connecting with me.I let out a low grumble and then focus on my surroundings. I haven’t found a single room with a window for me to look outside, I haven’t run into anyone. This is a little too suspicious, wouldn’t there be a lot of people looking for me? My eyes flicker around the room, trying to uncover some answer that I haven’t been able to figure out yet. And my body tenses when I figure out the reason. There’s a camera, it’s sm
QuirinaThe room is too quiet, too cold, too… unnerving.The headmaster looks at me, I’m currently cursing myself for not asking his name. The fact that he knows mine but I don’t know his makes me uneasy. He smiles at me and says, “I don’t know where your parents are, Ms. Stone.”I narrow my eyes at him and spit out, “Liar.”The corner of his mouth twitches up in an amused smirk, like he is enjoying knowing that he is able to get a rise out of me. I want to punch him in the face for it.He gestures towards the chair and says, “Please, take a seat, let us talk like adults.” The way he speaks to me is patronizing, my hands ball up into fists out of frustration. His hazel eyes flicker down to my hands before looking up at me and he says, “I assume you would want to do things properly considering you are about to take the Alpha position. You don’t want to start off with a bad reputation.”I snap at him, “I think you and I both know that my reputation doesn’t matter. It already isn’t in st
BryceI follow behind everyone as we go into the mysterious Supernatural Academy. I’ve heard so much about this place and yet… I don’t know what to think now that I’m here.Quirina is obviously tense and on high alert. She’s towards the front of the group and a small part of me feels uncomfortable with how far apart we are, but I know it’s for the best for her to be towards the front.We come across a mansion like building and Beta Charlie breathes out, “Welcome to the Academy headquarters.”Quirina look to him and looks around, “The headquarters? Not the building where all the students are kept?”He shakes his head no and explains, “This is for staff to live at when they don’t have a rotation at the school. Gives them a chance to be away from the students.”She nods her head, but I notice her deep furrowed brow, something isn’t sitting right with her. It’s moments like these that I wish we had already marked and mated one another because I would love to know what she’s thinking about
QuirinaThe plane ride was quiet, neither Bryce nor I spoke as we flew to my parents. The entire time he held my hand, letting me know that he is here for me if and when I choose to talk.I don’t want to talk. I want to get there now and make sure that they’re okay. When the plane lands Bryce just gives me a tight-lipped smile. I thank the pilot and we get off. Bryce asks me, “So, how do we get there?”I smile softly, “Leave that to me.”At that moment a car pulls up and an older man comes out and says, “A pleasure to see you, Ms. Stone, Mr. Lake.”I nod at the valet and both Bryce and I get in the car and it takes off in the direction I need it to. I know that we will have to walk a bit later, but for now I just lean my head on Bryce’s shoulder and enjoy the ride. He looks out the window, watching as the world passes on around us. I sit up when the valet asks, “Are you here to meet up with the rest of them?”I frown, “Who?”This causes him to frown and he remarks, “The other ones fro
VioletWe’ve been at the Academy for just over a month now.I was right, there was something fishy going on here.They never quit with their antics. All this time, all these years, I thought we had gotten control of the human trafficking, I thought we had ended it! Only to find out that for the most part we did, but for the kids who show potential to be strong they are never put as available for adoption.Quirina was an exception because they couldn’t figure out to control her, but because she was so powerful they thought her brother would be to. So, they kept her brother’s identity from us so that way if he showed potential they would be able to sell him. My fists ball in frustration, I should’ve known. It was too good to be true. But because we found out about it and they found out we found out, now we’re trapped. We’ve been separated for two weeks now, I have no idea what they’ve done to Phoenix, but it makes me worried. Ever since we met, we’ve never been separated for this long.
