Chapter 66- Ari
Last Updated:
2022-04-23 04:19:01Just as Sage is getting ready to come at me again, shadows move around me. I whip my head behind me to see Zane and Cade have arrived. Cade is already assisting Blair. Zane comes to my side as his shadows have Sage backing away toward Liam. Liam is now mostly healed, which would typically concern me, but Zane is here. Now the real games can begin.
“Sorry, I’m late, Pet. I see you held your own just fine.” Zane states, taking out his war scythe.
Zane has the shadows go around Sage and Liam, confusing them. I know how confusing the shadows can be. They overwhelm your senses, and for a werewolf, that’s torture. Zane controls the shadows, so he usually makes them friendly towards me unless it’s training. Right now, the shadows are definitely not being friendly towards Sage and Liam.

Everyone is gathered in the dining hall of the coven to celebrate Blaine as he is officially retiring today, and Cade is now the official leader of the Coven. Ever is a little over two now and a clever little thing. She’s also adorable, and everyone fawns over her. She absolutely loves the attention. Watching Ever bob and weave around people as she makes her way over to me. She runs into my arms, and I scoop her up. She looks so much like Ari with the same hair and facial features, but she has my dark gray eyes. Ever’s light wavy hair bounces as we make our way over to Ari, who is rubbing her growing belly. Ari and I got smart and started using some magical protection till we were ready for baby number two. Blair is standing next to Ari, also rubbing her baby bump. Cade and Blair took their time starting their family. They procrastinated a lot. I’m not totally sold that they wanted to have kids. The

Today is one of those days; please give me a reason to set shit on fire. You know the kind of days where you have zero fucks left to give as your world crumbles around you at the betrayal of your family. My parents didn’t just betray me, though. They also betrayed our entire pack. I’m locked up in a prison cell for my safety because I’m guilty by association. I had nothing to do with them helping the rogues attack our pack, but the pack doesn’t care. My parents might be dead, but my fate has yet to be decided.I’m in defense mode. My aggression is coursing through my veins; it’s what wolfsbane does to werewolves. It suppresses our wolves and brings forth our aggression. Werewolves are naturally aggressive. Well, wolfsbane makes it feel like we are on crack. I’m practically foaming at the mouth, wanting to rip someone apart. It’s why they have me in silv

The sound of keys on the door jolted my attention to it. My senses are dull from the silver and wolfsbane, but I can hear keys and voices. Sure enough, the doors open, and Alpha Liam, Sage, the warlock, and the guard who locked me up enter the room. The area surrounding the four cells is open. We are in the basement of the packhouse, which is basically our city hall.“Here’s the prisoner.” The guard states proudly as if he’s why I didn’t escape. I inwardly roll my eyes at his lame attempt to impress the Alpha.“Oh, goddess! You chained her! Open the door now!” Sage demands, her eyes searing into the guard's face like she could murder him where he stood.Sage is tiny for a werewolf, but she is a fierce bitch to reckon with. She is in shape as she was trainin

Zane whispers words in a language I don’t understand. Suddenly, black smoke with a life of its own wraps around us. Chills run up and down my spine as goosebumps show on my arms. It’s cold, and I realize it’s not smoke. It’s a fucking shadow with glowing amber eyes. What the fuck kind of warlock is Zane? The one thing I didn’t ask him was what his coven practiced.The shadows envelop us, and the cold is now accompanied by an extreme suction feeling as if I’m surrounded by tons of industrial fans. It’s intense, and I find nausea creeping up my throat. One minute we are in the cell; the next, we are standing on the grounds of a vast dark gray and black manor. The manor is unusual. It almost seems never-ending. I look to the overcast sky that almost appears to have an oily sheen. The stone pathways are lined with statues of black crows. The crow's eyes glow much

I follow Zane into the massively large mansion. I continue to follow Zane through hallways and staircases. As we walk through the strange mansion, it’s genuinely odd. Some stairways lead to nowhere, doors that open to nothing, bizarre paintings, and stained glass windows all over the place even where there doesn't need to be one. Shadows move along the walls like swirls, almost giving the illusion of wallpaper. Unease creeps over me as we pass men in long black robes with hoods. I can’t see their faces, and somehow I don’t think they are alive.It’s like I ended up in some twisted version of the underworld, except there are no souls that I can see. The whole place gives me the creeps. I can’t believe I have to live in this weird-ass place. How the hell am I ever to navigate this insane place? Seriously, who has doors that open to nothing and stairways that lead nowhere?

I have a sobering thought as I slip the robe on and tie it. What if my pack was never my home? I hate them for cursing me to this life. Resentment builds within me against my pack, parents, and even Sage. She should have tried to keep me in the pack. Instead, she let Liam give me to Zane like I was a piece of property to be traded. Everything worked out perfectly for Zane, but what about me? I’m doomed to be in this creepy mansion, forced to become a familiar to a warlock I just met. Yeah, this is not how I pictured today going. Not at all. I thought today would be a dull day helping Sage with her Luna shit, but Fate decided to dump a giant bowl of molten lava on my life, melting away everything I knew and loved. Thanks, Fate, you asshole.Blair comes to get me, and I find myself walking down another long hallway. We come to black double doors. The doors open. I realize that Blair is in a long

We head out of the ritual room, or whatever they call it. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of time to learn how this coven operates. Every coven is different. I ended up needing to link arms with Zane so he could help me walk as I started to feel weak, which is not a feeling I’m used to. Once more, we walk through crazy hallways. I find even more strange things about the mansion. Everything is incredibly detailed. The door nobs, light fixtures, and even the walls have some type of design on them. This place is weird, but it’s strangely fascinating. The shadows swirl along the walls as if they are living entities.Zane leads me down a long hallway with a handful of doors. The hallway is quieter than the rest of the house as I follow him to a dark gray door. Zane puts his hand on the knobless door. When his hands touch the door, it briefly lights up white and opens. We walked int

Blinking my eyes open, I roll over to find the warm body of Ari lying next to me. I don’t think she meant to move close to me in her sleep. When we fell asleep last night, she was as far away from me as she could get without falling off the bed. Now she’s right next to me. Ari is curled under the comforter. Only her head peeks out. I brush some of the hair out of her face as she’s on her side facing me.Ari is beautiful with her black wavy hair. Her hair has natural gray highlights that blend perfectly into her dark hair. It almost creates a smokey effect, especially with natural light waves. She has an ivory complexion. Her dark blue eyes with a hint of violet around the irises pull her appearance together. Her nice sized boobs, sweet little curves, and cute ass only add to her appeal. I also love that she has the cartilage of her right ear pierced with a black hoop earring. She&rs

Zane was a force that unexpectedly came into my life, turning it upside down. Zane taking me away was the radical force that woke me up. He saw into my core, into my soul, and woke me from the numb, cold sleep I had put myself in to survive. I didn’t even know that I was without certain things till he came into my life. Zane is the only person to love me in this world. I don’t believe my own parents loved me, making me wonder if I was worthy of love. Then Zane came along and showed me my worth.Today I’m going to prove my worth by completing my destiny quest given to me by the Five. Then I’m going to go home with my soulmate and cuddle our adorable baby girl while surrounded by our family. First time to take a bitch down once and for all. Guess I should tap into my unresolved pain and turn it into a weapon.“You came,&r

Blair and I head to my old pack territory. It’s strange to be heading back there. I honestly thought when I left with Zane. I’d never be back. At first, that saddened me, but as I realized how shitty my life was with my pack, I was glad at the thought of never coming back. It figures Sage would lure me here. The old cemetery is considered haunted by the pack. Over the years, the stories grew crazier and wilder. I could never figure out why people thought it was haunted or cursed. Knowing the truth, the tales make sense. The cemetery's ground is indeed soaked in the blood of lycans and werewolves, the beginning of a curse that created not only one supernatural race but also a hybrid race. No doubt it’s haunted to some degree.Facing Sage for a final time and knowing I have to kill her is emotional. Despite Sage not being my friend, she was still my friend. I shouldn’t care abou

Mags opens the door, her usual cigarette puffing its pungent smell into my face. “My boy, you made it.” She says in her deep scraggly voice. Fate was not kind to her when it came to aging. She pissed him off badly. Generally, you’ve done and gone pissed off Fate if you age poorly. It’s not always the case, but it is a lot of the time. Sometimes he’s a petty asshole, which is why I’ll stay on his good side.“Yeah, you said you had information. I’m here for the information, not you, Mags.” I spit at her as I shove past her.As suspected, Mags has attempted to use a charm amplified by a spell. I can see the engravings of spell markings on the floor. I hear Mags shut the door. Seconds later, she is in front of me. “You were always an ungrateful child.”

After we gather ourselves, we finish off our shower by actually showering. Drying off, we both get dressed. Unfortunately, we can’t go in workout gear. We have to appear normal. I’m dressed in my black jeans and a black v-neck t-shirt paired with my black trench coat and black boots. My war scythe and gun are on my hip. I’ve loaded the gun with Iron bullets. Cade will have his pistol filled with silver bullets.Ari is wearing torn-up gray skinny jeans and a black tank top. Over the tank, she has a loose mesh punk sweater that hangs off her shoulders slightly and her black combat boots. Ari has on her choker. I love that she seldom takes it off and wears it everywhere. My Pet loves to show off that she belongs to me.Zara comes back with Ever, and we spend some time with her. Cade and Blair join us as it gets closer for us to leave.

Sure enough, in three days, we both get our texts bright in the morning as our Little Nightmare is waking from sleeping a solid four hours. I’m not sure why she slept for so long, but I’m not questioning it. We desperately need sleep. I read over the text from Mags.Hey, son. I’m sure your father and the rest of the Five have put you in charge of figuring out who is causing issues with the humans. I have some information that you will be interested in. Come to my cottage around seven tonight.I scrub my hand down my face. As much as I’m looking forward to one final fuck you to Mags and ending her miserable ass existence. I’m not looking forward to having to separate from Ari. I know she can handle her side of things till I get there, but I can’t help it. I love her so damn much I can’t stand the thought o

The sound of a fussy baby wakes me from my deep slumber. The overwhelming groggy feeling of being woken too soon overtakes me as I rub my eyes. I sit up in bed to find Ari standing, rocking Ever back and forth. Ari is so lost in soothing our daughter I don’t think she has even noticed I’m awake. Ari is a natural at being a mother, which doesn’t surprise me, but seems to surprise her. Sometimes Ari is entirely too hard on herself and doesn’t give herself credit for how amazing she is.Everly is a few weeks old and has been keeping us busy. Ari and I do our best to balance getting up so we both can get some sleep, training in, and eat. I never knew a newborn baby could be so demanding at odd hours of the night. Ever is that baby who is up all damn night and sleeps all damn day. Ari has been desperately trying to fix Ever’s sleep schedule. Ari’s patience is wearing th

Hard to believe I’m days away from popping. My stomach is stretched far too much, my back aches, the fake contractions have me freaking out, and my feet are like balloons. I’m ready for the Little Nightmare to come out. The nickname Little Nightmare seems to be sticking. It’s slightly fitting as her father is a demigod of death and her mothers is a lycan. These are definitely two things that would give normal people nightmares, and Everly is a combination of those things. We decided to call her Ever as a cute nickname and Little Nightmare as her nickname for when she is driving us crazy.Our apartment is finally ready and just in time too. Zane and I are hosting a little get together with our family tonight to celebrate our new addition to the family. Shortly after Everly is born, we will have to finish our missions. Everything has been on pause with my pregnancy. Even Fate seems to
