Chapter Six
Keisha's Pov
As I arrived at Sophia's place, I felt a wave of excitement wash over me. I have been wishing for a long time to find my mate and the moon goddess has blessed me with my mate and his sister, and I can't wait to spend some quality time with her.
Sophia greets me with a warm smile and a hug, and we spend the next few hours chatting and laughing over coffee, Sophia telling me stories of when she and Adrian were little and all the funny things he did.
"Here's one I can never forget. When Adrian and I were little, he was obsessed with superheroes. He spent hours running around the house in a cape, pretending to save the world. One day, One day our mom took him and i to the grocery store, and Adrian insisted on wearing his superhero costume. As we walked through the aisles, Adrian kept his eyes peeled for any signs of trouble. Suddenly, he spotted a man with a black ski mask over his face, and he knew he had to act fast. He charged at the man, ready to take him down, but as he got closer, he realized that it was just a store employee stocking shelves. Mom had to explain to Adrian that not everyone in a ski mask is a bad guy, and he reluctantly took off his cape and went back to being a regular kid," I couldn't help but laugh.
After finishing our coffee, Sophia suggested that we take a walk through the park. On our way there I felt an instant connection with Sophia, and I'm very grateful for the opportunity to get to know her better.
As we walked through the park, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and contentment. I knew that this was exactly where I am meant to be, with the people I will love the most in the world.
As we strolled along the winding paths, we talked and laughed, enjoying each other's company, Sophia regaled me with even more stories of Adrian's hilarious antics, and I felt my heart fill with warmth and affection for this family that I had been so blessed to become a part of.
"Adrian was notorious for his pranks, and one day he decided to play a joke on me. He sneaked into my room and replaced all of my shampoo and conditioner with honey and maple syrup. The next morning,I woke up to a sticky surprise when she tried to wash my hair. I spent the next hour trying to rinse out the syrup, all the while cursing Adrian's name under my breath. When I finally emerge from the bathroom, hair still sticky and sweet-smelling, Adrian is waiting for me with a huge grin on his face. I couldn't help but laugh at his mischievousness, even as I had vowed to get my revenge."
Oh my gosh! I couldn't help but laugh, okay tell me, did you get your revenge on him.
"Oh yes I did. After Adrian played the shampoo prank on me, I decided to get my revenge. One day, when Adrian was out playing with his friends, I snuck into his room and replaced his deodorant with cream cheese. When Adrian came home, he didn't suspect a thing. The next day, however, he was in for a smelly surprise. As he went about his day, he couldn't figure out why everyone was avoiding him. It wasn't until he caught a whiff of himself that he realized what had happened. I couldn't stop laughing as Adrian tried to scrub the cream cheese off his armpits, and even though he was initially annoyed, he eventually had to admit that my prank was pretty funny."
Oh my, you didn't, I wish I was there to witness it I said. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the trees, sending a flurry of leaves swirling around us. Sophia and I burst out laughing as we struggled to keep our hair out of our faces, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment of pure joy and happiness.
As the day drew to a close, I hugged Sophia tightly, promising to stay in touch and make plans to see each other again soon. I walked away to the pack house feeling grateful for the time I had spent with my mate's sister, and excited for all the adventures that lay ahead.
Reaching the pack house I go upstairs to my room to freshen up noticing that Adrian isn't back yet, the back business must be really stressful. Hoping into the shower I wash my body and the dirt away. Drying my hair I can't help but think back to my past and how far I've come.
I head downstairs for dinner hearing Adrian and Leo's laughter which made me smile, as I enter the dinning room they all stop to look at me, hey guys I hope I'm not disturbing anything
"Not at all baby. We were actually about to eat but we were waiting for you."
Oh alright thanks for waiting for me. How'd you guys day go with the pack business.
"Oh well it was a bit stressful but it was okay."
Alright that's good. I sit down at the table and start eating with Adrian and Leo. While we were eating, we all talked about the pack business and what needs to be done.
Adrian tells me about some problems they're having with the neighboring pack and how they're trying to resolve it. Leo chimes in with some ideas and I offer my own thoughts.
After we are done with dinner, we all retire to the living room to relax. I sit on the couch with Adrian while Leo sits in his armchair.
"Do you mind cuddling with me and you can tell me how your day went with my sister."
Adrian asked, wrapping his arms around me.
Sure, I lean my head against his chest and tell him my day with his sister.
Listening as he tells me about his day as well. He talks about the pack business and how they're trying to resolve some issues with a neighboring pack. I listen very intently, offering my own thoughts and opinions.
After talking about our day we all concentrated on the movie in front of us. As the night wears on, we all start to feel sleepy, and decide to head to bed. As we say our goodnight, I and Adrian head upstairs, him offering to take me to my room.
As I lay down on the bed, Adrian said his goodnight and was about to leave before I reached out for him.
Adrian, do you mind sleeping with me? Realizing what I had just said and Due jumping in my head I facepalm myself. Sorry that came out wrong, do you mind sleeping in my room tonight.?
"Sure, I'll love too since you don't mind.
He got it and laid down as I cuddled up close to him feeling safe and loved. We both talk for a while longer before drifting off to sleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed and ready to face the day. I and Adrian got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast. Leo is already in the kitchen, cooking up a storm. We all sat down together and enjoyed a delicious meal.
After breakfast, I and Adrian head out for a walk in the woods. We talked and laughed together, enjoying the beautiful scenery around us. As we walked, we came across a clearing in the woods. Adrian takes my hand and leads me into the clearing.
In the center of the clearing is a small pond, surrounded by wildflowers. Adrian pulls me close and kisses me deeply. I feel my heart race as I wrap my arms around him, lost in the moment.
As I break apart, Adrian takes my hand and leads us back out of the clearing. We both walk back to the house, feeling happy and content.
"Do you mind going out on a date with me?"
OMG! U will really love too, i've never gone out on a date before.
"Alright I'll pick you up at eight, you can tell Sophia to help you out with dressing you up, I have to head out with Leo now I'll see you later."
He said, kissing my head as he went.
I ran to where Sophia is. Sophia I shouted, Sophia I shouted again.
"Yes I'm in here, what's the matter with you why are you screaming my name and this better be important"
Sophia said, I laughed, oh yeah it's important now guess what.
How do you guys feel about this chapter I hope you all like it and please support me
Chapter Seven Keisha's Pov Sophia looks at me expectantly, waiting for me to tell her my news. While I grinned I said, "Adrian just asked me out on a date! Can you help me get ready?" Sophia's eyes widen in excitement as she exclaims, "Oh my gosh! Of course I'll help you get ready! This is so exciting!" Sophia helps me get ready by suggesting different outfits and hairstyles. We both have fun trying things on and taking pictures of my different looks. We even used Snapchat's Dress Up feature to try on virtual clothing and accessories. After much deliberation, we finally settled on the perfect outfit and hairstyle. I feel so confident and excited as I get ready to go on my first date ever and with my mate. Sophia suggests that I wear a light blue sundress with a pair of strappy sandals. She thinks that the dress will look great on your complexion and the sandals will make my legs look longer. She also suggests that I wear my hair in loose waves and put on some light makeup to
Chapter Eight Adrian’s Pov As I was going to my room, after taking Keisha to her’s, I thought about today. Though I had gone on a date twice, this one’s just so different from the others. Today was magical and my mate made it so perfect, she’s so perfect. As I stood outside her room as she hugged me. As I hugged her I leaned in,nuzzling into her neck, I was so close that she could feel my lips ghosting over her neck, and then I made a move and kissed her, I felt the mate bond, the shock running through my body and I know she felt it too it was the best I have had. I felt her hands clinged onto my jacket for support. I hummed slowly, sending shivers and vibration through her body. She pulled apart so she could get some oxygen into her system and I myself needed it, even though I didn’t want to stop, she smiled at me and said goodnight. As I was about drifting off to sleep with a content smile on my face, I heard a very loud scream coming from Keisha’s room, I think twice as I dash
Chapter NineKeisha’s Pov You know my parents died in an attack when they traveled, so my uncle took me in. The first few months were actually very nice, they were all nice to me and all of a sudden they all changed towards me and till now I have no idea why. They maltreated me, beat me up, took advantage of me and I was powerless.On this faithful day I went out running into the woods because Due needed to be let out she had been in for so long because I wasn’t allowed to go out at all or talk to anyone so this day we went running because uncle went out and we were going to be back before he got back, but I and Due got carried away by the beautiful view and lost track of time. once we realized that we had lost track of time, we ran straight back home.On reaching my room my uncle was there patiently waiting for me, as I climbed back into my bedroom from my window i was startled hearing his voice.“Wow I never took you to be an athlete climbing and jumping through trees and your wind
Keisha’s Pov I wanted to tell you but I was so scared and I knew if I told you, you’d want to go there and fight and I’m not ready yet to face any of them. I don’t think I’m strong yet but I know I will one day. I have lots of questions to ask, why did he treat me that way, did my parents hurt them or do something to them? Lots of questions just keep popping in my head but I’m not ready yet. I looked down, still feeling ashamed for not speaking up earlier. Adrian put his hand underneath my chin and lifted my face up to his. He looked at me with eyes full of love and understanding. "Keisha, you didn't have to be scared. You are safe now and I will always protect you," he said softly. I looked at Adrian and felt a sense of comfort and safety that I had never felt before. I knew that Adrian was the one for me. He had saved me from a life of misery, and had shown me that there was love and happiness in the world. As the days went by, I started to open up more to Adrian. I even told hi
Adrian’s POV I’m currently lying down in one of the hospital’s beds close to my precious mate, she lost a lot of blood and I’m currently transferring mine to her. I was so surprised that my blood matched hers. The doctor hasn’t been able to know what’s wrong with Keisha but she has been able to keep her stable. “Alpha, can you follow me to my office? I think I found something in her blood,” the doctor said, "okay after you I slowly got up from the bed, feeling a bit dizzy from the blood transfer. I follow the doctor to her office, my mind racing with worry for Keisha. What could be wrong with her? I can't bear the thought of losing her. Once we're in her office, the doctor pulls up Keisha's blood test results on her computer. I try to follow along, but the medical jargon is beyond me. "Alpha, it seems that Keisha has some sort of genetic mutation in her blood. It's unlike anything I've ever seen before," the doctor says, looking at me with a mix of curiosity and concern. "What doe
Keisha’s Pov I watched as Adrian took one of the blankets from the shelf heading to the couch to sleep and I know he has been exhausted from working and if I let him sleep on the couch he wouldn’t have a good sleep. Hey Adrian, I noticed you look really tired and exhausted. Would you like to sleep on the bed instead of the couch so you can have a more comfortable sleep? And before you day the bed is small, I know that and I’m not complaining. “Thanks so much my love. I really appreciate your kind gesture.” I watched as he got into bed with me and got comfortable. How was your day today? Is there anything you want to talk about?" “My day was pretty busy, my love but now is not the time for me but you. How are you feeling? Are you still in heat? Do you want to try what the doctor suggested?” We could try what the doctor suggested, I am in and I know I can’t run away from it, I think I am ready I said looking into his eyes to let him know how serious I am. He is my mate and I am wi
Adrian’s Pov I woke up with Keisha still cuddling me and the thought of last night flashed back and I smiled to myself. Keisha is so precious to me and I will do anything to protect her and I will stand by her all the time. Not wanting to wake her up I untangled our bodies and got up to the bathroom quietly, I did my business and it time to see what the doctor has been working on, before I go back to the pack house to get some food for Keisha because I know if she wakes she will be very hungry and she must be very tired because of yesterday. “Alpha, I see that you are awake already,” the pack doctor said. Yes, I am Doc. I came to check on what you have been working on and to see if any test result has come out yet. “There’s nothing to be worried about Alpha, later today the test result will be out, but before that I will check up on Luna to see if she’s stable and free to go home.” Alright that wouldn’t be a problem, I will just head back to the pack house freshen up and get some
Keisha’s Pov I got back from the hospital, and I was left alone to rest a bit while Sophia made dinner for me. Adrian went to speak to Leo about his parents arrival. I am really scared meeting his parents, I mean what are the odds they wouldn’t even like me. I am just helpless and damaged girl. Who will want such for their Luna and their son, I just wish there will like me. I just sit by my window thinking about what the Doc had said earlier. Could it really be true, was any of my parents Lycans ? The Doc said my Lycan is ready to be unleashed and release its power, but what if I’m not able to control my powers, what if I end up hurting the people around, the people I care so much about. All this thoughts running through my mind that I didn’t hear when Sophia came into the room. “Are you still thinking about what the Doctor said? You shouldn’t stress yourself you know you just got back from the hospital you have to rest and my mom might be able to help a lot cause she’s known abou
CHAPTER TWENTY My wolf growled in my head at the mention of her death and I reassured him that we would never let it happen, the last thing I need right now is an angry wolf prowling around in my head. You have a pack now Keisha, a pack that will save you till their last breath, I whispered as I looked down to see her eyelids had closed and her breathing had slowed down. She was asleep. Keisha’s Pov I genuinely believe that she too was a messenger of the moon goddess, why else would someone want to harm her and tip me away from my family? I looked over to my right to see that Adrian was still fast asleep on the other side of the bed, oblivious to the thoughts that were racing through my mind. We had kind of just kept the sleeping arrangements since the other night when I asked him to sleep next to me . We both stubborn and refused to let the other sleep on the sofa so why bother continuing the fight at all if we both knew the other wouldn’t be giving in any time soon. I didn’t ha
Chapter Nineteen Leo was quite after and quickly snapped the book shut with a flick of his wrist, obviously finished with the extract he was reading from. Well what else does it say? I asked as I looked at the book and then at Leo again, expecting there to be more about my Keisha and what she is. The more I knew about her the more I could protect her. Adrian’s Pov All Leo did was shake his head and shrug his shoulders. “ That's it, it just goes about the standard transformation of a wolf after that, but nothing else about the moonstone eyes or what a messenger is capable of. I may have to do some serious digging to find out what a messenger actually is, but I’m hoping we’ll have something in the pack's library somewhere,” he sighed. I nodded my head and took a sneak peek over my shoulder to make sure she was still eating and sighed when I saw that she had finished her soup. Well whatever you need you have alright? I want to get to the bottom of this, I started hoping he knew that
He was stroking this thumb across my waist and once again his touch sent sparks through my body. If I die of a heart attack I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be because of these little moments. Keisha’s POV I was still staring into his eyes and this time he broke the silence. “We should get ready, you gotta look for your clothes.” He says and takes a step away from me Why, why must you do this to me? Why must thou step away from this special moment to look for my stupid clothes. My wolf missed being in his arms. But I do need my stupid clothes. It’s a Sunday which means it’s Sophia and Leo’s day out and meaning I have to spend 3 days with Adrain’s mum in her chambers, she’ll be helping me with the powers I have and what I am and I’m not to tell a soul not even Sophia. I don’t know how Sophia is going to take this, I mean I consider her as my best friend and now I’m going to be hiding this important information from her, I hope she takes it well when I tell her about everything. Adria
Chapter Seventeen Keisha’s Pov God I love his eyes. His eyes, his beautiful brown eyes I could stare into them all day and I still will be hypnotized by them. And his hair, the way it looks like he just rolled out of bed, his dark brown hair that always looks good, I bet it’s soft too. “Try going back to sleep okay? Adrian said and I noticed that it’s still dark outside, I gave him a small nod and lay back down on the bed. Adrian pulls me into his arms again and I feel and I feel his warm embrace already making me feel better. God he smells so good. He starts to draw a circle on my back and at this point I’m sure I’m not going back to sleep but I sure as hell don’t want this moment to end. I feel so safe in his arms, like nothing can happen to me as long as Adrian is by my side. I’m snapped out of my thoughts when Adrian talks to me. “You know you can talk to me about anything, right?” He said, almost whispering. I know, I say. “It's just I don’t want you to feel like you can’t
Chapter SixteenKeisha’s PovMommy?“Wait for me at your uncle's house, okay baby?” She said, clearing the hair out of my face while the tears ran down her face freely.I looked at my dad, I could see the hurt, anger through his eyes. He looks at me and shows nothing but rage, anger and pure disgust but it wasn’t towards me.Mommy what’s going on? I asked and started crying as a single tear rolled down my fathers cheeks.“Don’t worry, everything’s gonna be okay” she said as she took me in her arms and ran her hands up and down my back. She pulled away and whipped my tears with her thumb.“Wait for mommy at your uncle's place, okay?” She said, giving me a sad smile.Don’t leave me, please. I couldn’t control my sobs anymore, tears streamed uncontrollably down my face as I held my moms hands. “ Keisha” she said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll always love you no matter what, remember that and promise me that you’ll be happy” she took my hands and gave it a weak squeeze.And that’s when I heard
Chapter fifteen Keisha’s Pov “Why don’t you live with your parents, Keisha? He kept asking the same question over and over again. “Where are your parents, why don’t you live with them? Do you still talk with your parents? I start breathing fast and heavy because it feels as if my lungs aren’t getting enough air. Adrian notices and gets up from his chair. “That’s enough, dad.” Adrian said in a stern voice . “I’m just asking her a question, Adrian”. And it all starts coming back. The flashbacks, the pain, what I’ve been trying to forget for the past 8 years, what I’ve been trying to run away from, and suddenly I can’t breathe. “Well clearly it isn’t just a question” Adrian says and rushes over to me. He took my hands in his and intertwined our fingers. “This interrogation thing that you're doing is over, come on Keisha we are leaving.” I got up and left my breathing still fast and heavy, I was starting to get dizzy. Adrian I can’t breathe, I said as I squeezed his hands tighter, m
