GINAI fell hard on my ass, as Wilona hurled me to the ground for the hundredth time. I groaned and accepted her outstretched hand, allowing her to hoist me off the ground as I struggled to catch my breath. We only began training like an hour ago and it was already beginning to take a toll on me. “Why do I even need to do this?” I questioned, in between ragged breaths, tinged with exasperation. I downed a much-needed bottle of water, part of its contents pouring on my front.“You need to learn to defend yourself and control your powers.”I bent down, resting my hands on my knees, “I have you and Liam already.”Wilsons chuckled, a knowing glint in her eyes as she added, “We won't always be there, you know,”The training grounds were a large open field surrounded by towering trees forming a protective canopy overhead. The field’s center served as the focal point for our training sessions where werewolves engaged in exercise and combat training. The place was filled with people, undoubt
In the inky darkness, a woman sat, with cascading fiery red hair that emulated a sea of flames and amber eyes that gleamed like the sun. In the darkness, her body was the only source of light as she shimmered, a white aura surrounding her.Her gaze met mine, a tender smile gracing her beautiful features.Something in me told me I knew this woman and was deeply connected to her.I looked down at her hands which clutched her swollen belly, proof that she was pregnant.“Feel her,” she whispered to me, her voice a gentle caress. Driven by an irresistible impulse, I extended my hand toward her belly. As my palm made contact with her, a surge of energy coursed through me, flowing till it finally settled in my heart. Realization dawned on me. This was my mother and the baby in her womb was me. “She will be strong, just like you are” Her voice carried a sad undertone, “But I’m sorry I won't be there to watch you grow.”“Why?” I found myself asking, an overwhelming wave of grief and sorrow e
His powerful hands closed around my throat, squeezing me with immense strength. I struggled to breathe against his unyielding grip, gulping for air as I tried to free myself but he was too strong. He lifted me from the ground by my neck, like I weighed nothing, dangling as he held me in place.“S-stop. P-please,” I managed to choke out. my eyes felt like they were going to pop out from their sockets, and I could feel the blood draining from my head.Desperation clawed at me as I fought for my life, scratching at his arms and drawing blood in an attempt to break free from his deathly inhuman hold.When I looked at his face, He looked anything but human as his eyes glowed eerily, fangs bared in a menacing snarl. With the speed of lightning, he moved, tossing me on the bed with so much force that I almost made my neck bend at an awkward angle. I desperately gasped for air, catching my breath as I tried to regain composure , but before I could react, but he was on top of me in an instant.
DEVYN“I can’t believe you did that!”Wilona basically screamed at me, eyes widened in disbelief as she stood in front of me, darting her fingers in every direction. “It wasn't my fault,” I said curtly.She leaned back, folding her arms across her chest, “Then whose fault is it huh?”I felt anger brewing in me, as I tried my best not to completely lose my temper. I didn’t like being yelled at or talked to in that manner by anyone.“Her fault. She asked for it.”I recalled the sensation of her hand on my arm as her gaze locked onto mine, not a trace of fear in them. It had been ages since anyone dared to touch me like that and her touch had brought back buried memories. resurfacing those memories, made me lose control and I had to fight between my anger and my wolf's primal urges to mark his mate.“She didn't even know you guys were mates or had any idea what a mate bond is.”“Well, now she does.”She heaved a sigh as she rubbed her temples, “You’re unbelievable.”My Wolf suddenly roa
Liam and Wilona were by my side as we strode to the WitchWolf’s Apothecary. For some reason, I was afraid of what I would learn about my fate but determined at the same time. I needed answers to why an ordinary girl with no will to live suddenly gets tangled up in some fantasy bullshit that I cannot run away from—even though I so desperately wanted to.As Liam nudged the door open for us to walk into, my senses were immediately greeted by the sweet scent of the earthy aroma of the room. As I looked around, my gaze was immediately captivated by an array of plant vases, each a diverse species. They each hung on every corner of the wall.A towering bookshelf lined the walls, filled with ancient books, providing an air of wisdom to the room. The huge room was of maximalist interior and exuded a medieval charm. At the far end of the room, a counter stood with a woman sitting behind it.“I knew you'd come sooner,” she said, cracking a smile. As we approached the counter, my eyes widened in
The world around me began to spin and I suddenly felt unsteady. I wanted to throw up as my gut churned deep in my stomach. The realization that my mother had died because of me was too much to bear. All Because of some stupid werewolf destiny I never wished to be a part of. I lowered my head to the counter, my forehead grazing the cold surface as my body trembled in uncontrollable sobs. My sight blurred as tears streamed down my eyes and splattered on the ground underneath me.She had died because of me.“It’s not your fault,” Liam said, his tone trying to offer solace, as he rubbed on my shoulder. But he was wrong.All of this was all my fault.I raised my head and looked Diana in the eyes, “I didn’t ask for any of this. How much do I have to suffer?”Her eyes were tender as she spoke, “I know it hurts, but it’s fate. The moon god—“Bullshit,” I spat out through clenched teeth and I felt Wilona’s hand still on mine before she retreated. I was honestly tired of this moon goddess bull
I was running in the woods, my breath clamping in my throat as I ran, and my muscles burning up as I pushed through the thick bushes and dodged the eerie trees with branches that tried to reach out and grab onto me.The monster behind me was moving fast and trailing behind me. I was its prey and it was hunting me, till it would catch me and sink his fangs into my skin and shred me into pieces.I wasn't ready to die yet.I could feel it getting closer as its whiffs became louder and I could feel its hot breath against my neck. My foot caught with something and I tripped, losing my balance as I tumbled down what seemed to be a very steep slope. I slid down with so much momentum like I weighed nothing and gravity didn't exist in this place. My body collided with the jagged ground and I could feel my skin peel off. I wanted to scream from my lungs but nothing came out.The sliding suddenly stopped when I fell into a deep pit and hit my head hard against something on landing. My vision bec
Liam was the one supervising my training today because Wilona had some business to attend to, and I was glad about it. Since he was a man, he was going to take things easy with me.I was wrong.I sent a kick to his face, and he blocked it with his arm, my leg coming in contact with his rock-hard body.“Ow,” I groaned as I rubbed on my leg, “What is your body made of? Titanium?”He let out a hearty laugh that made my insides flutter and probably every other girl in the room. He was a cool attractive guy but I was more on the dangerous bad boy side. Liam gave off the vibes of a golden retriever and that made him so much more adorable.Speaking of bad boys, my mind immediately ricocheted to Devyn and what happened between us the other night. After he had practically yelled in my head, I passed out and by the time I was awake, I was back in my room, on my bed. It made me wonder how I got there, probably by carrying me.Knowing how cruel Devyn was, he probably dragged me through the ground
