The Toll
Fusilis
Kendrick
Broken.
I’ve never seen anyone so broken. Her head slumps down as her tears wet the ashy soil. She sobs silently in front of her pack of hellhounds. They seem to respect her so much for not peeking up from the ground once. How does someone carry a burden so strong and not break it?
My poor angel. I wish there was some way for me to take all that pain for her. All I can do is help her through this attack her pack has endured. I will be with her every step of the way until she wishes me gone. I walk forward, and all of my brother's heads snap to me. They look nervous and on edge, but what male wolf wouldn’t be with their mate in this position? I kneel in front of her and rest my head on hers. I hear her sniffle and continue sobbing. A small wet spot lies in front of her from her tears. I drop my head to her ear and inhale deep
Tension Fusilis Her I tiptoe back over to my mates and stop in front of Duron. He grabs my hand and pulls me onto his lap so I am straddling him. He looks up at me his hands on my waist while I relax down onto his lap. He kisses my jaw down to my neck. My eyes instantly lock with Cyrus’ I’m not sure why but they always lock on him like something's missing. Duron nips my neck like Kendrick and instantly the hot sensation floods me again my mind swirling my stomach full of butterflies and dampening between my legs. He continues kissing down to the mark once more and my breath hitches in my throat my eyes closing. He takes his time kissing softly my eyes flutter and my head falls back. My head leans on something hard and my eyes shoot back open. I’m met with Cyrus’ serious face my head resting back against his chest. Duron’s kisses begin to move back up to my n
Ripped apart at the seams Fusilis Andricia The guys all stand beside me, watching the fights happen. It’s a long, boring process, and honestly, no one enjoys it except whoever comes out on top. It’s sad to think that just a few years ago, Lorissa was fighting for her spot to be alongside her two best friends. Now she is gone as if she never existed, not even given a proper burial because hellhounds can’t go into the ground. They don’t decompose; a witch could find the empty vessel and use it to their advantage. A hand lands on my shoulder, pulling me from my thoughts. Kendrick is kneeling in front of me, looking up into my eyes. He wipes away a tear that I didn’t know was falling. I look up to see the ring empty; everyone is gone except Kira, standing across the field, staring right at me. She shakes her head, then turns and walks to the field for lunch. "Wh
Torn in twoFusilisAndriciaMy eyes fill with tears on their own. Cerberus is genuinely upset about being separated from three of her mates. I’m upset, of course, but for some reason, the mate bond heightened my emotions. I feel like a big baby.Cyrus walks up to me again, his hand landing on my cheek, and I tilt my head up to him. His thumb catches my tear as it falls—the other arm snakes around my waist, closing the gap between us."Be strong for me; I promise I will be back, little mate." He says it in the softest voice.He leans down and places one long kiss on my lips. Then he pulls away and walks out of the room without turning back. Another tear falls as Duron lifts me in a bear hug. He kisses my cheek tenderly and stares into my eyes for a minute as if he is trying to remember every little detail. Then he smiles softly, trying to hide the pain,
The bond in full effectFusilisCyrusSam is faster getting in front of her stopping her from jumping out the window. Which is probably wise because looking at her now I see she has lost weight. Her muscles aren’t as defined and she is pale her hair no longer shiny and vibrant but dull."Let me help you," Sam says in a gentle voice.He gets down so she can hop on his back then he jumps out of the window. We all follow suit to see what caused her to do it in the first place. When we land I can smell him and immediately rise to my feet stalking forward in front of Samson and Andricia. I see my father on his knees Kira on one side and a pack warrior on the other. His hands are bound behind his back and an evil grin plays on his face."You are a fool for stepping foot on my territory!" Andricia pushes her way through us wi
SteamFusilisAndriciaWithout warning, I jump and wrap my legs around Cyrus’ waist. He catches me grabbing under my thighs to hold me up. I lace my fingers through his hair and smash my lips against his. He matches me with a passionate kiss. One hand holds me up by my buttocks while the other wraps around my back, pulling me closer. I deepen the kiss and feel his tongue glide across my lips, asking for access, which I grant. His tongue plunges into my mouth, gliding across my tongue and sparking a fire within me. My core is begging for one of them, and I need to find my sweet release.I feel my towel fall from my body, and I tense up instantly. I hear three low growls from behind me, and Cyrus breaks off our kiss. His eyes dropped slowly down my body, taking me all in, memorizing every little detail. He licks his lips, and his eyes flash emerald
Burning desires Fusilis Samson My wolf partially takes control and beckons her beast with a growl so low I can see her body shudder from it. I instantly smell her arousal, and my wolf is going insane. Now we just want to see that fierce side of our mate once more. She drops her arms and stands more confidently, but she still hasn’t looked me in the eyes with her fierce, ember-filled eyes. I growl once more, this one even lower. Ash is demanding that she look at us. Her head snaps up, her eyes flaming with desire. A smirk lands on her face like she’s won, but little does she know I’ve got her right where I want her. I throw her over my shoulder in a split second and head toward the bed, throwing her down onto it. She goes to sit up, and I immediately have Cyrus and Duron pin her arms down. They aren’t going to have any sexual contact wi
Chillin in the underworld. Fusilis Andricia I open my eyes and see satisfaction playing in his eyes. Not only had he sent me into my orgasm several times, but he also reached his own by pleasuring me. A soft smile is on his face, and I crash my lips onto his. He pulls away after a minute and pulls the drain for the tub, allowing it to empty. We then get out of the tub and dry off. The pain between my legs is now gone and replaced with complete satisfaction. He looks at me one last time before exiting the bathroom and entering my room. I step out into my room and see all of my mates dressed in training clothes except Samson. Surprisingly, they don’t give me weird looks or anything to embarrass me. I immediately head straight to my closet and throw on black spandex shorts and a green sports bra that has straps crossing my cleavage. The guys will like this one. Wait, am I trying to turn them on? 'Yes, always yes!’ Cerberus hops with joy. I roll my eyes and throw on tennis shoes to
She’s Lives! Fusilis Cyrus I hear unlocking on the other side of the door and begin to panic. Someones coming! I think as loud as I possibly can and hope that she hears me. The door flies open as a large man in an all-black hooded robe walks in. He closes the door behind him and hasn’t looked in my direction yet. Then he turns his glowing blue eyes lock with mine. His face is pale white and he has black lips he has no eyebrows. His eyes fill with anger and he stalks toward me I look down to see Cerberus flame but quite far away still. He is now right in front of me and his long icy fingers wrap around my neck lifting me by it. “How did a pesky mutt get into my world!” The walls rattle from his booming angry voice. I lock eyes with him and don’t say a word he looks into them deeper. Within seconds his eyes go wide and he drops me to m
Andricia"I think you are exactly as you are meant to be, and just what this pack needs." Footsteps sound in the distance and a hush falls over the meadow as they slowly make their way toward us. I rise to my feet before giving a hand to Reagan and helping her up. She takes one last look at the wildflowers before disappearing toward the treeline and into it. Samson's arms wrap around me from behind and I lean into his touch. Soaking up the warmth radiating from him as the smell of fresh rainfall washes over me. Hot lips connect with the mark on my neck awakening the fire within me. I turn in his arms running my hand through his hair drowning in his green eyes. Our lips crash together in a bruising kiss and I grab hold of that ancient power living within me and we disappear into glittering light.Resurfacing in our room my back slams into the wall and we don't break the kiss once. Feeling the need to touch his skin take over I burn away my clothes and his own as they fall to ash at our
AndriciaMy heartbeat throbs in my ears at the revelation. Drowning out the discussion being had and plans that could protect the packs. An army of witches and wolves is fine but a beast that has been extinct for a century... Where have they been all these years? Why team up with the witch in the first place? The outcome of an army of lycans would be catastrophic for us. There will be no victory unless I can unleash my flame on the Lycans and Tarot."I thought they were extinct." I finally chime in halting all conversation and planning. Realizing Cyrus had been caressing my side this entire time as a means of comfort. I suppose creating allies and planning for war is all new for me. My mates have endured battle forged alliances and gotten their hands dirty when needed all for the sake of their pack. All I've ever done is protect my lands from witches and keep us alive. They are the embodiment of hope and I'm where it dies. There was never any hope in my land after the males died off.
AndriciaWhite powdery snow puffs into the air as Kain slides through it. The force that was behind Gwen's magic had me clutching my chest. I snap my focus back to Silas playing a game of dodging the spells with shimmering. Kain is already on his feet shimmering through this world with impeccable speed. Jackson meanders his way over taking up space beside me now. He had been practicing shimmering short distances. He is at a disadvantage and out of practice due to being frozen."What's the point in all of this? You don't even know what you're up against." I don't bother peeling my focus from Silas but cringe as he takes a blow. The feeling is strange, not pain but I can feel a dull ache where he feels the pain. Could he feel anytime I was in pain? If so how did he endure the pain inflicted by Justin?"There will be witches, I've encountered my fair share to know that the number of witches practicing dark magic is rising. I couldn't bear living with myself if I sent anyone into this war
Andricia “You fear that I will soak this world in blood yet you offer yours to me first.” His voice is ancient an accent I'm unfamiliar with yet understand perfectly. Silas is similar yet so different as it has aged just as he has. Jackson is still a newborn unfamiliar with the world he now lives in. Believing he is the biggest threat to walk this earth—a threat yes but not the largest one we've encountered. “You would be smart to hold your tongue. A legend you may have become but don't be a fool. This world will chew you up until you are nothing but bones and when it does I will be there to burn whatever is left of you to ash that will be carried away on a breeze and forgotten forever. Unless you join me. We can teach you how to survive and prepare you for what awaits.” He remains silent just as Silas and Kain await whatever comes from Jackson's mouth next. After a good while, I begin to grow impatient the flame thrumming within me, flowing through my veins begging to be released.
SilasIce fills my veins at the sound of his name off my bond's lips. I growl her burning eyes locked on my icy ones. I can't bother to mind the confusion from the Alphas and yank on the glimmering bond between us hissing down at her.'You must be joking.' I hiss in warning but she doesn't yield an inch. I can see her plans unfolding in my mind as if they were my own. I can't lie they are good but dangerous. Unleashing him on the world again could be catastrophic. How did she keep this plan from me? Like she blocked me from her mind. I may have been busy with Kain and Gwen but I still had her in my mind. She is always consuming my mind I'm not sure why it would change now. Had I truly been that distracted? A gentle caress down the bond shuts down my thoughts and her burning flame creates a glorious barrier keeping me from her mind. I reach a phantom hand out to it but it doesn't burn me. Instead, it opens and I once again hear and feel everything from her."You mean like the bedtime s
AndriciaThe cover of the treeline surrounds me. I stand helpless looking at the event playing before me. Reagan crumbles to the ground, and the sob filling the air cracks my heart. I sway on my feet momentarily before two hands land on my hips keeping me on my feet. Silas presses closer to me where my wings would have been he fills. My mates swoop in holding Reagan and Augustus as they mourn the loss of the woman whose name I still hadn't learned. Taking notice of the pack that was outside training now kneeling with their heads hung. A devastating loss for this pack. A calculated attack that would leave the leading members wounded and disoriented for a while. However as this packs Luna I will not allow any harm to come to anyone as they grieve this loss. The loss falls entirely on my shoulders as if it were my hand that ripped her throat out.The moon is almost to the peak of the sky directly above us. Crisp air nips at my exposed back in the midnight blue material that hangs from my
AndriciaSo beautiful. The thought zips down the bond and I flush from head to toe in the pale blush floor-length dress Silas gave me. The gauzy material whispers against the floor and the sheer sleeves show off my tanned skin below. The back is open on the shoulders where my wings are free to be if I wish. Our short time away had been so enlightening and helped me gain access to the power locked within me. Our bond is stronger and so beautiful it sparkles within me. I close the distance between Silas and me the fire dissipating from the hearth as it makes its way back within me. He brushes my loose hair behind my ear before his lips softly caress my own and the world around us fades to nothing. We linger a little longer on the other side drinking in each other before resurfacing in Golden Summit. My wings gleam in the sunlight and the grounds quiet as the pack notices us."How'd you do it?" Gwen's voice pulls my attention from Silas. She stands with Kain at the bottom of the pack hou
AndriciaThe ice fringes the edge of my vision before I am plunged down into the frozen water nothing but darkness surrounding me. Down, down, into the frozen depths of darkness until suddenly I'm yanked above the surface gasping for air. The snow is blinding in the frozen peaks that surround me. Silas' bare chest is against my now bareback. I'm soaked in water my skin shining under the rising sun. My neck tingles instead of the searing pain I felt in my nightmare. When my fingers connect with it I feel Cyrus caress the bond between us. He is there and understands what I just experienced even if he isn't here with me now. Silas, he would've seen it all and felt exactly what I felt and seen exactly what it was that haunts me. His hold on me is gently and reassuring the ice he used to pull me from my nightmare resting just below his skin. The same way the fire within me does. The dream is an omen. It will only get worse before it gets better.I need to be ready for it. If I'm not strong
Andricia“You were dying.” The raw emotion in his voice was enough to push all other worries out of my mind and focus entirely on him. Silas continues running smooth circles on my skin. His face is grave and I can see the tension in his jaws. A distant look in his eyes as he no doubt recounts it all.“I could feel your soul tearing itself from you. The bond poisons you if not fed from.” I chew my bottom lip mulling over his words. If he saw me why didn't he come for me sooner? How exactly did he even see me? I never saw him except for when Kain fed from me and in my nightmares."But if you made him feed from me..." The sick feeling of sand running along my insides and my stomach clenching. I spewed in the toilet unable to stomach the feeling. It had felt like a relief initially but then my body must've realized it wasn't Silas who was feeding from us. I wonder did he feel the discomfort I felt? I felt The stomach-wrenching betrayal smothered by the all-consuming confusion because I ha
