The Alpha's Fateful Witch What Does It Mean?
When Merlin woke up the next morning she found the bed empty, Zeke had already gone downstairs to his office. She lay in bed and stretched lazily, snuggling back down under the covers as a faint memory began to stir in the back of her mind. The smell of cigarette smoke seemed to hang around her like an invisible fog and the acrid stench of stale beer and spilt alcohol reminiscent of a smoky backroom bar. Her eyes closed and her brows furrowed in concentration as she tried to focus on the mental image buried somewhere in her subconscious. A strange feeling of disquiet crept stealthily into her heart and she struggled to find the haunting memory that seemed to float just out of her reach.Minutes passed but still nothing and she groaned loudly and throwing back the covers, climbed out of the warm, soft bed and padded barefoot across the floor to the bathroom. Once inside she stripped off her clothes and stood under the shower, allowing the hot water to cascade over her in the hope that
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Hot AF
When Merlin eventually came to she found Zeke asleep beside her and faint moonlight spilling in through the open windows. Night had fallen while she had been passed out and she shuddered remembering what had occurred in the garden earlier that day. The images and voices from her head continued to swirl and dance filling her with dreaded anticipation for what was to come. Quietly getting out of bed so as not to wake him, she made her way to the bathroom and took a long, hot shower before returning to the bedroom.She was dressed and sitting at her dresser brushing her long, red hair when she saw in the mirror Zeke stirring and slowly open his eyes. He blinked and looked around before catching sight of her as a slow grin spread across his face. She knew that look and what it meant but right now she needed him to focus on something else but as he lifted the covers to reveal his throbbing desire for her, she couldn’t help but falter in her resolve.“Come back to bed babe”, his voice was w
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Voices In My Head
Merlin and Zeke made their way through the cemetery with the moon hanging high in the sky, its pale light reflected off the stark white and grey of the tombstones while casting shadows under the overhanging branches of the trees. A slight breeze stirred and soughed softly through the trees, the sound almost like a breathless sigh that seemed to follow them as they weaved amongst the graves, making their way towards the tomb from their previous visit.The tomb loomed high above them, its white marble walls starkly visible in the darkened cemetery as the stone gargoyles peered down menacingly at them from the gabled roof. The temperature seemed to drop as they entered the tomb and Merlin shivered, glancing around at the smooth walls as Zeke moved assuredly ahead of her, his heightened senses enabling him to easily see in the semi-darkness inside the tomb. The walls gradually gave way to the ante chamber from earlier which was once again lit with burning torches that filled the chamber w
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Sacrifice
As they walked together through the endless fog that seemed, to Merlin, to be alive with movement and the soft sounds of whispering and sighs, Merlin gradually began to feel at ease and she relaxed in the other woman’s company. Their arms were still firmly linked together and the weight of the singer’s arm through her own was comforting and reassuring and allowed Merlin to feel lightness that she hadn’t felt for quite some time. She could no longer hear the voices of the Ancestors, the sound having faded away as they walked further into the dense and roiling fog. Although she had no idea where they were going she didn’t feel either tense or apprehensive but rather she enjoyed the feeling of being free from the responsibilities that had just been thrust upon her.“You are as enchanting as any Cottard witch but perhaps more so…….we have waited a long time for you Merlin Cottard”, the older woman spoke, finally breaking the companionable silence.“What is your name?” Merlin responded.“I
The Alpha's Fateful Witch To Capture A Witch
Her heart was pounding in her chest and she was gasping for breath as she ran through the forest, the shrubs and bushes whipping her face and body. The pain barely registered nor did she notice the blood oozing from the cuts on her hands and face. She could hear the sounds of her pursuers getting closer, the heavy breathing and growling steadily increasing as they closed the distance between her and them. Her mouth was open and along with her throat were dry and burning as she tried to stifle the screams that threatened to escape. She knew that she couldn't outrun them, it was impossible, but she had to keep going, had to find a way to escape, she couldn't allow herself to be caught.Suddenly the ground gave way beneath her and she tumbled head first down an embankment before hitting the water with a loud splash. The icy, cold water knocked the breath clean out of her and it was all she could do to prevent herself from screaming out loud. Her feet scrambled for purchase
The Alpha's Fateful Witch The Witch and the Werewolf
Merlin scrambled up and tried to get out of bed but a low warning growl halted her movements and her body froze, stiff with tension."I'm a natural born predator, Merlin, any sudden movements are viewed as a threat", his voice was cold and measured but the warning was clear. Merlin turned to face him as every nerve and muscle in her body screamed in pain, she felt that she might collapse back onto the bed at any minute but she steeled herself against it. She could feel the hatred rolling off him in waves that threatened to suffocate her and before she knew it, the words had left her mouth, "Why do you hate me so much?""I hate all of your kind. Don't take it personally", he replied with a shrug of his shoulders."What do you want with me?", she asked, changing the subject."First you need to eat and regain your strength then we'll talk", he said, his tone, clearly not inviting further discussion. As if on cue, the door opened and a young
The Alpha's Fateful Witch The Pack
The next morning, after breakfast, there was a knock on the door and upon opening it, Merlin found herself face to face with a stunning blonde. She was petite with long legs and beautiful blue eyes while her strawberry blonde hair fell in cascading waves down her back. "Hi, I'm Sandrine, my mate is Zeke’s beta. Can I come in?", she said in a sweet, breathy voice. "I brought you some clothes", she added, almost as an afterthought. Merlin stepped back, wordlessly and opened the door wider to allow her entrance into the room, her gaze falling to the floor. Sandrine breezed into the room and moved to sit down on the bed, gesturing for Merlin to sit beside her. Merlin perched awkwardly beside her, her eyes glued to her hands which lay tightly clenched in her lap. Feeling her hand on her arm, Merlin looked up to meet Sandrine's eyes on her,"Hey don't look so worried, Zeke won't hurt you, he's just.......temperamental", she laughed, a soft tinkling sound that somewhat put Mer
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Uninvited
Merlin tried freeing herself from his grip but he was too strong and soon he began dragging her into the foliage beside the trail, her feet scrambling uselessly at the underbrush. She opened her mouth to scream only for a large hand to clamp it tightly shut as the panic swelled inside her, forcing tears to her eyes. Her hands were pressed tightly against his chest preventing her from using them against him. It seemed darker as the sun struggled to penetrate the tree canopy above and she couldn't tell how far into the forest he had dragged her before he threw her, unceremoniously, onto the ground. She flinched away from him, immediately scrambling backwards before her back hit a large tree trunk and she quickly tried to stand. He walked towards her and she saw his claws extend from his fingers just before he leapt forward and pushed her to the ground, his body pinning her beneath him. She tried pushing him and kicking out at him but his strength was overpowering and she only

The Alpha's Fateful Witch Just A Dream
It was late by the time they got to the mansion and everyone was already asleep. Most of the lights inside had been turned off, leaving the mansion cloaked in shadow. They entered through the front door and quietly made their way upstairs to the third floor. After a quick shower together, they were soon in bed, both of them falling into a deep sleep. As the night wore on, giving way to the early hours of the morning, Merlin began to dream. ******************************She found herself back in the bar that they had visited earlier that night but this time it was empty except for the singer from the jazz band. Instead of the crimson sheath that she had been wearing, she was dressed in a sequined, black dress and feathered boa, reminiscent of the 1920s. Sitting alone at a table, smoking through a slender cigarette holder while humming to herself, she watched Merlin through the cigarette smoke with lazy interest. Merlin walked cautiously toward her, as she scanned the rest of bar, c
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Normal
Merlin was quiet as she thought about this, Zeke’s question had caught her off guard but it was hardly surprising. Although she was a directly descended from Angeline, there was something that disturbed her about the woman but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Aunt May had been adamant that she trust no one and Merlin took her advice seriously. But the question still remained, unanswered though it was. "What are you thinking?", Zeke’s voice broke through her thoughts. "I can't trust her.....I just don't know why", Merlin sighed and shook her head. "Trust your instincts, they've never been wrong"Merlin glanced at him and smiled, he was the only constant in her life right now and he could always make her feel better even in the worst situations. "I feel like there's something I'm missing, like a connection that I can't see and if I could only find it I'll have all the answers even without the grimoire""It'll come to you Merlin. Don't force it, you just need to relax and let
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Now What?
They searched everywhere in the library for the grimoire but found nothing. It was as if it had simply vanished. Merlin was distraught and in a panic, before Zeke eventually calmed her down. It had been her only chance to find out Angeline's real motives and help her decide what to do about the Ancestors. It seemed too much of a coincidence that the grimoire went missing right after they had left the library to investigate the noise outside. Something or someone didn't want them to discover the book's contents and had caused a diversion in order to take it. There was a lot more going on than either of them had initially thought. The next day, Merlin had returned to the library to check again for the grimoire, but still there was no sign of it. Remembering the connection that she had felt with the book, she had tried searching for it using this, but she wasn't able to sense its presence in the library or anywhere else in the mansion. Whoever had taken it, had taken it far enough away
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Vanish
Although she had been upset at first, Merlin soon accepted that Juliette would be safer with Sébastien than with her and Zeke. She only wished that she had been here to see her leave. Nevertheless, it now meant that she could focus on Angeline and the Ancestors and the decision that she had to make. Two days had already passed and she was running out of time but she just didn't know where to start. She had decided to search for something that might help her in the library but so far she had come up empty. Grabbing another armload of books, she headed back to the table and set them down before spreading them out in front of her. She immediately noticed that one of them was pretty old and was bound in an expensive, brown leather cover with a clasp on the side. Placing the palm of her hand on it's smooth and worn surface, she felt a pleasant warmth radiating from the book and up her arm. It carried with it a sense of peace and deep down she felt it calling to her, beckoning her to open
The Alpha's Fateful Witch For The Greater Good
After throwing up an illusion spell to give them a chance to escape, Merlin turned back to face Angeline, who had made her way into the outer chamber. Preparing herself for a confrontation, Merlin was taken aback when Angeline rushed toward her, wringing her hands with a worried look about her. "Merlin listen! We don't have much time", she whispered, her eyes darting furtively around the chamber. Merlin shook her head in confusion, wondering what was going on and why Angeline was acting so strangely. "I have put up a temporary barrier to hide my thoughts but it won't last long so I need you to listen carefully", Angeline was practically pleading with her. Merlin gave a small nod in agreement and the ancient witch continued. "The Ancestors plan to use you to absorb the powers of all the most powerful living witches into one single entity""Why?""To finally defeat the werewolves""But why now? We've coexisted peacefully for almost a century"Angeline hesitated, her hands fidgeting
