Sabine
When the first ray of light cracked the darkness, I found myself staring at the forest. Traces from last night's fight were gone, like everything was just a bad dream.
I stared in awe at the sunrise, shades of blue and orange were painting the sky. I have seen many of them from my spot in the wagon, but none of them made me thank the Gods I was alive, like this one.
A light knock on the door made me wonder who it was when the familiar curly red hair stepped into the view.
“Hey.. good morning. Can I come in?” Sasha asked with her bubbly personality.
“Sasha” I said happily to see her. “I wa
Sabine I was still in the kitchen when the omega returned with the empty coffee tray. She gave me an annoyed look and I wondered what I did to annoy her. Still thinking about my conversation with Kade and trying to figure out a way to convince him, I saw the omega opening the fridge and pulling out the bread and some ingredients. I remembered that Kade asked her to prepare some snacks so I was about to stand and leave when something caught my eye. The omega pulled out from underneath her apron a small clear bottle with a lavender flower in it. I squeezed my eyes trying to recognize the flower, but even though it seemed familiar I couldn’t figure out which the flower was exactly. I rubbed my temples with my fingers trying to fight the headache that started to bother me. I was exhausted mentally and physically. As I stood up and got ready to leave, the omega passed me heading out to Kade’s office. She was close to the stairs when she whispered: “Stupid wo
SabineI was shocked to see my dad coming down the stairs. Never have I ever thought that my dad would learn the truth about Kade and I am surprised to see him so calm, ready to help. I know he always believed that other species lived among us. But still…“Jonah”. I heard Kade mumble.“Boss, you don’t have to worry, your a… “secret” is safe with us. We, us travelers, already helped your kind multiple times…this is our destiny, to help you maintain the balance.” Dad continued looking at Kade.“I don’t know what to say, except for Thank you,” Kade replied and dad smiled. “Tell me what you need us to do?” Dad added seriously.“Someone tried to poison us. I am not sure if she tried to kill us three or she is targeting the whole pack.” Kade replied quickly looking around at Alex and Stefan who are still shocked about my dad’s revelation. “Okay, I will let my wife know so she can search her books for any spell that could be used.” Dad said before turnin
Sabine“Sabine, listen to me!” Ella said suddenly, grabbing my hand quickly. “No matter what She says, please don’t say anything.” I was about to ask Ella what she meant when a knock on the door, followed by a sweet female voice echoed behind me. As I turned my head to see who was the owner of the voice, Ella clenched her fists for a second forgetting that she was holding my hand. For the second time I wondered what was with her.“O, ‘Emms’… I was so worried about you… How are you doing…?” A tall slender woman approached us, pulling Ella into a hug. Emms? Why was the woman referring to Ella, Emms? I wondered, arching a brow.Ella closed her eyes and for a moment it looked like she was fighting thousands of storms inside her. For the first time since I met her, I could see the disgust spread all over her face.“Octavia,” Ella replied, faking a smile. “What brings you here?” she continued squeezing my hand making me realize that she was still holding my
Kade“Kade,” dad said, entering the office. “What are those men doing?” He asked and I closed the folder in front of me.“Good morning, to you too, father.” I said rising from the chair and went to the bar. “You want a drink?” I asked before taking the cap off and pouring scotch into a glass. “Yeah, make it double” dad answered before he sank into the sofa. “So what’s going on?” he asked again when I gave him his glass.“Nothing. Just precautionary measures” I said before gulping down half the glass content.“How can you say it’s nothing? You have humans staying in our people's houses!” He spat angrily.“I think you forgot that you are not the Alpha
KadeAs I came down the stairs I heard Octavia mocking voice. I don’t need to actually listen to the words to know that she picked on Sabine. I can feel Kieran getting restless and the need to save Sabine becomes more intense.“What an ugly dress” Octavia’s words hit my ears while I entered the Kitchen. For a person who wishes to be a Luna and treat all the people the same she sure has no filter. “She is beautiful just the way she is” Kieran mewling in my head and I wondered how come he is so obsessed with Sabine. I never heard about a wolf that is attached to a person other than his mate. In a way Octavia was right the dress Sabine was wearing was unconventional because of the colors choice, but that was Sabine. Was it strange that I agreed with Kieran? Yes she was beautiful just the way she was.A thought comes to my mind but I push it back. It can’t be possible, could it? “Octavia, what are you doing here?” I finally asked bluntly. Everytime she came
SabineI exited Kade’s office, slowly closing the door behind me. My hands are shaking and my eyes are blurry but I can’t cry. It’s not fair. I take deep breaths trying to calm down my erratic heart realizing that I don’t have any right to act like this.The image of Kade kissing Octavia made my heart ache. Seeing them together made me feel like an intruder in his life. I never considered that he might have someone, never cared about his wishes or desires, all I wanted was for him to SEE ME, to LOVE ME.I faked a smile to one of the omegas who was dusting the stairs. I could see her lips moving but I couldn't hear what she was saying. As my legs moved towards the kitchen, thousands of thoughts were spinning in my head, making me dizzy. I was about to open the door when Sasha’s words made me stop in my tracks.“Ella, I hope you know you can’t be her friend, she is not one of us.” Sasha said with so much disgust in her voice that made me gulp down the no
SabineI was surprised to see my father waiting for us at the lake, where the wagons were still parked. He had already set the fire and placed animal skins around it. It reminded me of the time when I was small and grandpa made all the kids gather around him and listen to his stories. The dancing flames lit my father’s face and I was able to see sadness present. I didn’t know what to feel or think. A part of me was mad that they didn’t tell me the truth earlier while the other had questions about who I was.“Sabine,” he whispered softly, when we approached him. “You look beautiful” his words made me smile. I think it was the first time he said something like this.“Let’s gather around the fire. We can talk while we are waiting for the meat to cook.” Dad pointed to the skewers that were already placed in the fire.“Sabine, I don’t know how to tell you this. I think that’s why we postponed this talk because I never knew how to tell you. Please forgive me ch
KadeAs I enter the dining room, my eyes are looking around the room searching for the only one person I want to see, but the chair that she usually occupies is empty. The table is already set up and my men are sitting comfortably, making small talk while they are waiting for the food to be brought by the omegas. “Kade,” Octavia’s voice makes me snap from the line of thoughts. She kisses my cheek before she passed me, heading out to the table and sitting down on the left side of my chair.“Find another seat” I spat angrily, making her flinch. I can see now all the eyes staring curiously at me.“But, Babe, I always stay by your side when I am here,” Octavia pouted, annoying me even more.“I said FIND ANOTHER SEAT” I replied accentuating the words, trying to keep my calm.All the eyes were now moving from me to Octavia, waiting to for a rebellious outburst.I see her clenching her fists while displaying a fake smile, before standing slowly and moving to the other side of the table.As I
Happiness… When I was just a child I wondered many times what exactly happiness was. Everyone around me struggled to find it out despite their constant efforts. Not only did I question its existence, but I was sure it wasn’t something I was going to be blessed with. I blamed myself for ruining my parents’ chance of happiness. Because of me, they spent their lives separate seeking a reason to live. Only when Sabine appeared in my life, I begin to hope I would find happiness. A smile spread across my face as I looked at the beautiful woman lying next to me with her chestnut long spread across my pillow. Her chest rose and fell as I continued to enjoy the peaceful moment. Twelve years had passed since the Goddess brought Sabine into my life and not a day passed without me being grateful. Even when I was in the coma, I knew I had to find my way back to her, as she was the light of my darkness. “I love you,” my own goddess whispered while she turned over to face me. “I love y
SabineMy heart hammered in my chest as the fear took over. I couldn’t believe I was about to lose everything, my home, my mate, the father of my unborn child. I struggled with the decision of announcing everyone I was carrying the alpha’s unborn son, but somehow I wanted the people who had been my family for the past year to choose me as their Luna for my skills, not because they were taking pity on me... After a moment of reflection, I decided to let the people vote, speak their minds. If they wanted me as their Luna, they would say so through their votes. Deep inside, I understood why my father decided to follow the laws. A pack needed a strong Luna, one who could fight their battles and carry on with his legacy.The fear I was going to be cast aside took over me and for the first time I wondered what I was going to do alone, how I was supposed to make amends for me and for my child I was carrying. One thing was certain: I wasn’t letting Kade step down from his role. A ragged breat
Kade “Someone find Cameron,” I barked as Zeke, my new Beta, gave me a small nod before he stepped away to carry my orders. I liked that about him. He was a man of few words, but he was strong. When I chose him to become my second in command, there was no better person to fill the list of skills I had in mind. Zeke was a good man and got along with both my people and the gypsies. While I turned my head towards the fight, I was unable to focus. I could see the hate in Octavia’s eyes and despite my encouragement’s words, Sabine seemed to give up. I knew how much Seth and Cameron meant to her, but I could only hope none of Octavia’s affirmations were true. Anger boiled into my veins while I saw Octavia’s wolf jumping on my mate. Once again I brushed my hair with my fingers, cursing under my breath my inability to stop the fight. “I am not a werewolf. Your laws don’t apply to me,” Cordelia’s words surprised me as she stabbed Octavia’s wolf with the silver ceremonial dagger. “Any news
SabineAs the words left my lips, people who surrounded us began chanting my name. The obvious hate in their eyes towards Octavia fueled my rage, giving me strength. I had to win this fight for all of us. Octavia was the one responsible for the fire that destroyed many lives. A lot of good people had died because of her hate and yet if it wasn’t for her reckless actions, I would have never met my parents. My mother would have continued to be King’s Philip's prisoner while my father struggled in the mines.“Sabine, you can’t fight her. There has to be another way,” Sasha mumbled, interrupting the line of my thoughts. “We both know fighting her is the only way.” I choked out the words straightening my back. “I can’t allow Kade to step down and just give her our pack. It’s his birthright,” I added clenching my fists. “But you..”“If I can have your attention.” King Darius voiced out interrupting her. “As werewolves we live, develop and grow together as a community, a family. We have la
Sabine “There is nothing to be afraid of. You were born for this. It’s your destiny,” my mother whispered low as she gave a light squeeze to my hand. I gave her a small nod while I took a deep breath in my efforts to calm down my racing heart.I straightened my back, pushing my chin high as I turned my head towards my father, signaling to him I was ready for him to open the door. The omegas began to bow their heads in respect while I walked holding my mom’s hand slowly down the decorated path. Everything was perfect. Wooden pillars stood proudly on each side of the alley decorated with green garlands and fairy lights, offering the place a magical vibe. Time seemed to stop for a moment while my eyes found the black ones of the person the Goddess decided to pair me with. My heart skipped a beat as I saw him dressed in a tailored gray suit with a silver button-down shirt that matched my dress, standing on the small stage, waiting…waiting for me. “Friends and family, I would like to sa
I quietly looked at the young women in the mirror, barely able to recognize myself. A confident, strong woman who not long ago was just a naive gipsy girl who had her long chestnut hair braided into a ponytail was now staring back at me.While a happiness sparkle danced in my green eyes, a smile spread across my face, making Sasha growled in annoyance.“Stop moving or I will never be able to finish in time.”I gave her a small nod as I watched her finish her magic. Sasha applied a cherry lipstick to my lips to match the purple eye makeup she chose for tonight’s event.“Sabine, you look beautiful,” mom whispered as she fought back the tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks. “Alma, you are going to ruin your makeup,” Sasha blurted out, making mom shake her head in understanding.I looked at the woman who raised me like I was hers, giving me all the love and affection a mother would give to her child. She looked beautiful with her hair styled into a bun and dressed in a dark blue
SabineThe beautiful view in front of my eyes was nothing in comparison to the sight of my husband. Strong, confident, not to mention handsome. Kade was all mine, and I couldn’t be more grateful. For the first time in my life, I was happy and scared. Petrified, I could say that something might happen and our perfect bubble would burst, returning me to the shell of the person I was while he was asleep.Butterflies danced in my stomach as Kade’s lips covered mine, taking his sweet time. My fingers grabbed the bottom of his sweater pulling him closer, needing him. Was it bad that I wanted the moment to last forever? A moan escaped my lips as Kade deepened his kiss, sending goosebumps down my spine. Every time he kissed me, it was like we kissed for the first time. It consumed me in ways I couldn’t describe.I felt Inna pushing to come forward. Just like me, she wanted time with our mate. I muffled the sob that almost escaped my mouth as Kade broke our kiss, returning to look over the h
KadeMoments later, I was sitting in the office looking at the dusty old photo with me and Alex smiling happily while we set up the first beam of this place. It was our first thing to call our own, and we worked together to put it on the tourism map. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, unable to believe he was gone.“Alpha,. Julie told us you wanted to see us,” someone called out as the door opened wide. A curse word left my mouth as I placed down the frame turning towards the door. For me, for Alex, I had to keep fighting for our dreams. Victor entered first, followed closely by Julie, and two young men dressed in nothing but black jeans and blue shirts that had the lodge logo. Behind them, an elderly woman entered, making my heart skip a beat. Years had passed since I saw her, but she still looked good. Miss Abby was for me and Alex like a second mother, scolding us every time we used to stop to check on the lodge.“Didn’t I tell you to call all the people who work here
KadeAs I turned left and exited the main road, the snow continued to fall heavily, making it difficult for me to see. I swallowed the curse words that threatened to leave my lips as I tried to keep the car on the road. Maybe I should have waited for the snow to slow down.“Kade, where are we going?” Sabine asked me, shifting worriedly in her seat.“Patience, Sweetheart” I replied casually, trying to act like it wasn’t a big deal. “It’s a surprise.” I added, unable to hold back the grin that spread across my face imagining the moment I would have her finally alone. As I hit the accelerator pedal, I reached out to Sabine’s hand, entangling our fingers. I took it to my lips and planted a small kiss on her knuckles while I kept my eyes on the road. “We’re almost there,” I mused seeing her cheeks colored in a crimson color.Ever since I woke up from my coma, I had this thought nudging me to take her away from the curious eyes. I knew the Goddess had a plan when she made Sabine my other h
