What is the blood witch going to be like? Creepy? Beautiful? Stay tuned to find out!
Atlas Talk about the creep factor. A shiver runs down my spine as I enter the place. How the hell did she know it was me? Was it one of her powers, or were there cameras? I really hope that it was the camera route. I look around. The place her color choice from the outside is the same on the inside—the living area sitting room on the left-hand side. The picture in the entryway is a giant spider crawling out of a skull. With a sign below of a bat with a sentence bubble shooting out of his mouth, ‘Take off your bloody shoes!’ Kick my shoes off and turned to the hallway on the right since the sitting area was empty. As I turn, I nearly jump out of my skin. A woman stood where there was nobody a second before. “Son of a bitch!” I swear, trying to calm my heart as it jackhammers inside my chest. The woman before me, her eyes were white with a black ring around her iris, with her pupil looking like it had a black sun rays into her iris. Her skin was the color of a latte, a perfect shade
CalypsoI never thought I would reach rock bottom this quickly, but I decided this must be close. Letha is so kind-hearted; I'm sure it's not intentional. However, whenever she goes over a bump or a rough patch, it feels like my brain is thrown around in the back of her car.She thought it would be best if I could remain in the trunk until we reached our destination. With cameras being everywhere, we wanted nothing to track me. Appreciate the caution but also hated it. It wasn’t helping matters that my whole body hurt from my bond with Reid.It felt like my bones were heavy under my skin, making all the joints hurt. My limbs hurt to move them, and each bump in the road felt like I was bruising. This must feel like being sick, a problem I have never had to experience.I tried not to think about Reid, but he was on my mind. Not able to help but wonder if he was experiencing pain like this or was less since he was a full vampire. I know I will stand being away from him for a limited time
My thoughts were racing as I drove to our hideaway, wondering what my next moves should be. This situation was so fucked, and I didn’t know how I was supposed to deal with Elsa. I know she planned for Calypso to be her blood sacrifice.Elsa was going to be the mother of my child. A child I didn’t want, but a child that was supposed to be of great importance. An entity that shouldn't exist but was created through deceit and deception. Would Elsa even be her mother? Someone has to die for the baby to be born.That thought made me want to coddle Calypso and protect her. There were forces at work right now, trying to ensure she didn’t survive the upcoming months. At least we had a timeline to help determine how long this threat will loom over us.I pull up at our getaway place, and I feel a little stress melt away just staring at one of my favorite places in the world. Letha and I used to believe this is where the Lost River starts, popping up over our land, but its origins began here. Sh
I let the words that Atlas just said settle in my mind. My mind was swirling around and trying to make heads or tails of it. “Wow. If I didn’t know better, it seems like we shouldn’t be together. The universe seems like it’s against us.”Altas looks down at his hands before he looks at the door. “I honestly don’t know what to say.” He pushes himself off the bed, and I grab onto his shoulders. I refuse to let him go; since when did I listen to what the world wants? It was time to take what I wanted.“You didn’t let me finish.” I settle his head in my lap before I pull his mouth to mine while wanting him to kiss me as deeply as I need. He seems to receive the message when his mouth opens under mine, and our tongues join the fun. I pull back from his kiss to make sure he understands.I stroke his beard and admire how handsome yet beautiful this man is. Sometimes it feels like we are speaking two different languages, and we need to come to an understanding. Before we do that, I need to ma
CalypsoYou're in control. Go at whatever speed you want, and I will follow your lead. The words flitted inside my head quickly as Altas looked at me with tenderness. The tenderness that I was pretty sure that I didn’t deserve.I felt powerful being in charge of how far things go. However, I was unsure of myself. My knowledge of sex was minimal, given that the last and only time was with Reid. “I. I don’t exactly know what I’m doing.” I broke his intense eye contact, embarrassed by my inexperience. “Only done this one time, and it ended in disaster.”I felt his cock twitch at my admission, trapped behind the zipper of his jeans. Did my inexperience turn him on? “This is all about you. Find what you like, or tell me exactly what you want me to do.”A blush heated my cheeks at the thoughts that were happening currently in my head. “Tell me.” He placed his hand under my chin to raise my face to meet his gaze.“What if it’s something you don’t want to do?” I never wanted him to do somethi
AtlasI felt so overwhelmed by Calypso; I never knew sex could be this good. Even though I haven’t even penetrated her yet. My cock was providing extra lubricant from the generous amounts of pre-cum collected. I kiss her as if I want to devour her, and I want to. It’s time she realized how good we can be together. In and out of the bedroom, I know I can at least show her what this side of us could be like. I run my cock up to circle her clit before returning and pressing just the tip inside her, getting the tip nice and wet. The more I teased her, the more slick produced between her thighs. Her back arching and moaning into my mouth was enough for me to want to cum. I hoped I wouldn’t embarrass myself. I needed to get her close to the edge and push her over before I found my release.“Altas!” Her nails dug into my lower back, trying to get me to sink deeper inside her. It was too bad I wasn’t ready to stop teasing her. “Please…”I pull myself back from her and look into her beautiful
ReidI welcomed the pressure that left me when Calypso sealed her bond with Atlas relief. Which was then immediately followed up with dread at the thought of him taking her body. His teeth pierced her throat, marking her as his. The fear that he scored over my mark, the mark that wasn’t supposed even to be there, sent a chill down my spine.Like a child throwing a tantrum, I couldn’t control myself as I punched a hole in the wall. Was it childish? Yes, did I feel marginally better? Yes. Part of me wanted to find the first vampire to spread her legs for me. I wouldn’t have to go far, being in my position with the coven. One thing that a vampire loved more than a good tumble in the sheets was power. Both of which I could offer; I have plenty of repeat customers that would enjoy a phone call from me.I wanted to beg her for forgiveness, but yet another part wanted to hurt her. Not physically, of course, but emotionally, like she did to me. It felt like my soul was at war with itself. Sel
ReidI light my beacon before I attract any more unwanted attention. I did not want to get the reputation of being a granny pervert. The sad truth was that I just needed a listening ear. It’s not like I can confess things to my father or anyone in my coven. They can use everything against you. Everything can make you look weak, and I wasn’t ready to lose the power I had gained.I follow the blue light to my destination, not paying much attention to everyone looking at me with curious eyes. A few vampires found solace with the witches, but mostly vampires; the trust was never there. The lycans, however, and witches found a balance with each other. Partly because they were both from nature, or that’s what I have been told.Rose and the rest of the elders established an arrangement many years ago. I help get rare ingredients for spells and slowly collect IOUs and spells to benefit me. Was it probably selfish and self-serving? Yes, but I didn’t care. Collecting debts and having influentia
AtlasMy hands smack the table, and I barely hold back my temper. My wolf rises to the surface, and I hold him back. “Are you kidding me? There are protocols that need to be followed.” I stand up while looking down at Calypso and grab her hands in mine. “We need to go come back after the time of mourning is done and the new alpha ceremony has taken place.”“No!” her mother cries, not wanting us to leave when there is so much left to say. “You’re already here. A few hours will make no difference. I knew this would happen if we told you in the first place. What are the odds that the day you reach out, the day he dies?”I shake my head. The alpha in me is raging. “You know it’s not right, but I can’t help to think that it’s a little too coincidental that it transpired the way it did.” I sit back down and place my hand on Calypso’s leg, giving it a squeeze, hoping that it calms me down a bit. “What do you think happened? Someone in your pack?”Nicholi shakes his head, “No, we’re the only
Calypso The overwhelming emotions that took over had me standing before my mother and brother, dumbfounded. I couldn’t seem to move, let alone breathe. So, I stand here just staring at them with my eyes wide. They step back at Atlas’ growl of protection for me. I could feel the love he was sending me in our bond, which settled me slightly. His chest rests against my back, which helps my body relax. “I’m sorry. For more things than you know.” I hesitate for a second before looking around. “Is there somewhere we can talk that’s a little less open?” “Yes. Come this way.” My brother leads my mother away with his arm around her shoulder. It seems like he wants to keep her in check, and I can’t decide his motivations. Did he want her to have a relationship with me? Or is he against this whole thing? Either way, I don’t want this conversation out in the open. There could be ears and people listening. I smile when I feel Atlas take my hand, interlacing our fingers together as we walk forward
AtlasAfter Reid left, we sat there in silence on the front deck. I repeated the words he said in my head. That there might be a way out of their bond. As I close my eyes, I lean back into my chair. I interlace my fingers behind my head and try not to overthink it. How much easier would our lives be without Reid in it? The pack would have a much easier time accepting Calypso.“I can practically hear your heavy thoughts from over here. No secrets anymore between us.” I cannot help but smile at how observant my mate is. She is perfect, and I want nothing to come between us.“I am trying to choose my words carefully,” I said as I looked up at her. She was leaning on her knees, her legs up on her chair. Her chin resting gracefully on her knees, holding her coffee with both hands. “I am learning from my past mistakes and poor judgment with my words. Here is the truth of it, though. I keep thinking about what he said about your bond.”She rolls her eyes and smiles at me. “I can’t lie; it’s
CalypsoWhy was I so nervous? I held the power. Altas kept reminding me of that fact. However, right now, I feel like a small, rejected child. As I heard the car doors slam outside the cabin, I met them on the deck. When I get to the door, I pause before not wanting to appear too eager to go out.Once I hear them, I take the first step onto the deck and open the door. Reid was holding a bakery box, and Altas had two coffees in hand. Reid paused at seeing me, and I swear he looked nervous. Altas sidesteps him and sets the coffee down on the wood railing. He can tell I am nervous. I can feel him trying to reassure me through the bond.He pulls me forward into his muscular arms, and I inhale his scent, letting it calm me. I wrap my arms around his middle, and he doesn’t seem in a hurry to let me go. When he pulls back, he bends down and brings me in for a kiss, and I can feel him trying not to smile into the kiss.“Let’s go sit out here. The morning is beautiful.” I tell him and whisper
AtlasMy phone rings, and I untangle myself from Calypso, trying not to disturb her. I grab the phone and some sweatpants. Once I get out of the room, I answer the phone quietly. “Yeah?” Awkwardly putting my pants on one leg at a time while trying to make it out the door onto the deck.“Sent a team to tag and bag Garrett. They have him chained and waiting for interrogation. Do you want me to interrogate him first or let Calypso be a part of it?” Reid was a ball of energy and seemed a little out of his element now.I knew he wanted to get back in Calypso’s good graces. “What about the contract out on her?” Not letting him have even an inch of being impressed. His suffering was entertaining to me. I know it shouldn’t be, but it was. The human side of me was okay with sharing her with him. My Lycan side wanted to have all of her to myself.“It’s voided, but she still needs to lie low if someone hasn’t received the message. I want to meet up; let me explain things to her. I’ve done everyt
