Thank you for reading
Ae-cha/Lora “This is suicide.” Alistair said as he stood in front of me, trying to stop me from proceeding. “Then you can leave. But I'll protect my niece. There’s something really wrong with my father. If he’s not stopped do you think anyone would stay alive for long in the pack?” I said curtly, walking around him and proceeding forward. My father’s tyranny had been going on for far too long. I wasn’t able to do anything when I was young because I wanted a father’s love but now I can see him for who he is. A monster. Memories of the past came crashing down on my mind like an avalanche. ~Flashback twenty-one years ago~ “We are leaving Ae-Cha. Father has gone crazy since mother’s prediction. He wants me to start training my daughter in sorcery. She’s only 6. I can’t… I can’t let her get involved in black magic at such a young age.” My heart ached as I watched my sister panic knowing I was here on my father’s orders. He told me to use magic to capture my sister’s daughter Ariana…
Lewis I don't know how Ariana had a wolf when she was a hybrid but I guess the Goddess decided to bless her with one. Not that I minded. It was a plus. Wesley could now stop being grumpy and go for runs with Ariana’s beautiful wolf, Jade. When she shifted, I was in awe. She was big, an Alpha wolf. Wesley kept clawing in my mind to be let out but what I didn’t expect was for him to go straight for the kill. They had just met and he already mounted and mated with her for several hours. It took my all to force myself back and gain back control. ‘That’s how it’s done.’ He said and I rolled my eyes internally. He was referring to how I had delayed in claiming Ariana but I wasn’t complaining. She was worth the wait and the effort. “How about I make us some… coffee?” I wanted to say food but I remembered I can only make chicken wraps properly and we had eaten that on our picnic. “Then we can order pizza for dinner?” “Um… just coffee is fine. I’m not that hungry.” Ariana said quietly
Ariana ‘I don’t think you should do that.’ Jade argued in my head, almost growling at me but I had made up my mind. ‘I have no choice. If I stay with him he will die. Would you rather have your mate dead or leave to keep him safe?’ I asked her, eliciting a growl from her and I swear, I saw her curl into a ball in my mind. Refusing to speak to me. After thinking about what I could do to prevent my vision from becoming true, my heart dropped to my feet when I found nothing. There was nothing I could do. The only option was for me to leave. Going away from here and never coming back. Who knows if being with me is what would kill him?? I was quiet the time we were watching the TV show. It was very hard to find the right timing to tell him about my decision. He kept asking what was wrong, the words were just on the tip of my tongue but I cowered. I was scared of hurting him. But in the end, I reminded myself that emotional pain was better than having him gone from this world. Bracin
I tightened my arms around Ariana, holding her close. Afraid that if I loosened my arms even for a split second, she might disappear. We were lying down on the rug in the sitting room, butt naked with our legs entangled with each other. After that intense love-making, we were too tired to move. Well, I wasn’t but Ariana whined and refused to move. She was exhausted and I had felt guilty for being so rough when she had just had her first shift. When she said she wanted to break up, I was quiet for a few minutes. My eyes stung. I could feel my heart squeezing painfully... It felt like someone was piercing a needle through it, one at a time. Wesley howled in my mind, feeling upset but I calmed him down. Our mate was just scared, scared for us. Understanding why she made that decision, I didn’t get upset with her. But I was angry with the goddess. If she loved her children, why would she give them gifts that would cause them pain and call it a blessing? Frustrated and sad, I pounded
Ariana Looking at the familiar frame in the photo my heart pounded, sounding like a galloping horse. It was filled with fear. What did this message mean? Lewis must have heard the spike in my heart rate because he looked up from the map he was so engrossed in, scrutinizing me worriedly. "You ok baby?" But I didn't respond. My lips quivered as my eyes dipped to the note and photos in my hand. I didn't know what to make of them. Was my mother still alive? Grabbing the stuff in my hand, I heard Lewis curse. "Fuck. I swear I'm going to rip that bastard to shreds." "What do you think this means? That's a picture of my mother." My voice shook in fright. "Mmmmm baby we need to be careful. They are just trying to lure you into a trap." "But what if she's my mother?" I screamed out just as the flood gates opened and tears began to flow down my face. How I wish it was true. That she was alive and just waiting somewhere for me to rescue her. Lewis put the note and letter down, he move
Lewis “Baby…” I turned briefly to look at Ariana who was seated in the passenger’s seat, refusing to talk to me. Intense guilt was rolling off of her in waves and I didn’t know how to assure her that I was ok. We were heading west of the dark forest, where the coven for witches was located. Ariana seemed not able to control the energy in her body which causes her to have intense outbursts when angry. I called James who directed me to his mother-in-law, Cordelia. A witch who was recently accepted back into the coven. She advised me to take Ariana to the coven so that they could help her control her magic. “I told you I’m ok. You couldn’t control it… cheer up, mmmm?” I said to her, squeezing her hand that I was holding while I steered the car with the other. “No… I could have killed you Lewis.” She whispered in a low voice, her head hanging low, averting my gaze. “At that moment I really felt like an evil person. I had all these evil thoughts in my mind and I wanted to kill some
Ariana I sighed contentedly, scooting closer to Lewis and laying my head on his chest. Right here.. In his arms, I felt complete. His divine scent teased my nostrils and I couldn’t help but take a big whiff. He smelled so good. My hands traced the muscles on his chest, feeling their firmness as sparks erupted between our skins. I was blessed with a god, that’s for sure. We had just finished the fifth round of making love and decided to sleep in readiness for our journey tomorrow. After much coaxing from Lewis, I finally moved on from the stunt I pulled last night. I was ashamed of myself for not having control. The darkness I felt within me when I thought about my parent’s death was scary. There seemed to be something… a small voice other than my wolf, telling me to find those men and tear their flesh apart. It frightened me and I thought I was turning evil. Jade had stopped talking to me after that outburst, saying she was upset with me for hurting our mate. She was afraid he w
Lewis. I awoke to Ariana’s sweet scent swirling around me. It was alluring and for some reason, smelt sweeter this morning. Her tantalizing scent made my mouth water.. My wolf panted loudly in my mind, sending explicit images to the forefront of my mind, making my morning wood painfully hard. Looking over at my mate sleeping peacefully next to me, I didn’t have the heart to wake her up so I settled for treating myself to an early breakfast. Feasting on her hot wet core. And it was divine. We had just driven through the large gates of the coven’s mansion and my mate seemed to be amazed by the sight. I chuckled, thinking she would get really surprised when she saw my Alpha’s mansion back at the pack. He was one of the richest men I know. A force to reckon with. Cordelia, Zoe’s mother was already waiting for us at the entrance and she welcomed us warmly. Although Ariana seemed a little nervous so I squeezed her hand, reassuring her that I was there with her. I was on high alert
