Adrien was staring at me while Gabriel still clung to my body. My brother adored my wolf, although they had never had direct contact before. Gabriel also had a wolf, but we hadn't talked yet. As far as I understood, he was embarrassed to talk to anyone other than Gabriel. And I had no idea how he knew about it, but there it was.
Whenever my wolf intervened, for some strange reason, my body was exhausted and without strength.
"Hey," I murmured wearily.
Gabriel released me, gently laying me on the bed. He treated me like I was glass after the words of my wolf. He would become an unbearable controller if I did not make it clear whether human or not, I could kick his ass.
He was my brother and I adored him but that didn't stop me from wanting to kick his ass sometime.
"Hi, Ellie. Does your arm hurt?"
I lowered my gaze to where my wound should
"Did you lose your mind?" I exploded, not caring at all the gaze of all the students on me.Some looked at me longer than they should but then ignored me afterwards. It was not the first time that I had attracted attention and I was not of interest to them. I took Ainsley by the arm, leading her to a vacant room. I needed to have a long conversation with her.Ainsley blushed, looking down at her hands. Her hair covered her face as if it were a curtain of her. She was embarrassed, but I was so angry that I couldn't stop myself from trying to moderate my tone.Ainsley was a cute girl so I couldn't stay angry for long. Yelling at her wouldn't do, I needed to use another tactic. I took a long breath, controlling my temper.Yes, something about Dominique didn't give me a good thorn, but it couldn't stop her from being with his soul mate either. When I could, I would ask Gabriel about the wit
"Good morning, bunny," he purred very close to my ear.I blushed a little seeing him so close to me but then I remembered everything that had happened the night before and I blushed even more. We had spent the night together, as was common for us. Knowing that he felt the same as me was the best feeling. I wanted to stay with him like this, close, so close that I could hear his heartbeat."Good morning, little wolf," I replied, yawning.I had slept only a few hours after talking for most of the morning. We talk about everything and nothing. He apologized a thousand times for all his mistakes from his past and I apologized for not telling him the truth sooner.Adrien understood the first time that I couldn't just blurt out the truth to him as he had no foundation or solidity in my theory. A human had no chance to be mated by a werewolf. And I understood that he did not accept it at first
"Gabriel," I called his attention in a low voice.We were in my room. He's playing with his magic absentmindedly sitting on the couch while I studied for my history test. He was mad at me, so now he didn't take his eyes off me. He said that the first time I neglected, I would get into trouble. I couldn't deny him, so I agreed to let him take over my room. So he hovered like a hawk over me. I couldn't even search my notebook without getting excited.Sundays were my days off so I took the opportunity to do all my homework for the week. Adrien was busy. The Alpha was taking him away for his training as the future leader of the pack so my brother and I were alone.And a bit boring, to tell the truth.Gabriel barely spoke to me, so I felt a bit lonely. He was angered by my encounter with Donovan, but I hadn't asked to meet a vampire in the woods.I was fascinated by my m
"Gabriel!" I yelled, running to him without thinking twice.He could be hurt. I just thought and prayed to the gods that he was okay. My brother couldn't just hurt himself with his own magic. Or not?I wanted to think that he was not such a clumsy witch.He allowed me to get closer to him, but he didn't want me to see his face. His arms covered him and although he did not try to push me away, he did not approach me either. I was so mortified for him. I didn't even have time to think how I had stopped his attack. Had I used magic? Again?I blew my mind as I listened to him sniffle and notice what was happening.Gabriel was crying."I couldn't save them," he lamented softly. "I was there being healed by mom. And he entered."He? He was probably referring to one of the vampires ... He might even be Donovan's father himsel
"Adrien!" I yelled, chasing after him.My shirt was soaked with the smell of my blood but I couldn't stop myself. I wasn't as fast as a werewolf. My body was still quite human. The pain also kept me from running faster, however I tried. I couldn't think clearly when I noticed my soul mate abandon me and flee into the forest.What exactly was he running from? From me? What he had done? I didn't blame him. I knew better than anyone that Adrien would never hurt me on purpose. The reality was that watching him leave hurt a lot more than his claw mark near my ribs.My legs were a bit heavy, and each step felt like an ordeal. It wasn't such a deep wound but it was enough to stunt my movements. I was feeling much slower than normal but I didn't want to stop my steps. Something told me that if I accepted Adrien running away, I would regret it for the rest of my life.The night was dark, I heard
Adrien.I always knew that I had to protect Estelle. It was something that was inside me from the first time I saw it. With a certainty that no one could explain, the instinct to protect her from everything and everyone was as natural to me as breathing.In fact, things were simpler when I believed she was only human. When I had the absurd certainty that she would never have to face any danger. She could make my pack respect her. I could watch that no one approached with intentions to harm her. And although I could not always take care of her as I should, no one could say that I did not try with all my might.My father was always a very strict man, but a bit disinterested. He let us go at our own pace, yet he always seemed to be on top of us. Make mischief? That ended up becoming an impossible mission. He would discover us in seconds, as much as Estelle was excellent at covering her tracks. There w
When I woke up, Adrien was sleeping next to me. Watching a werewolf sleep was a compliment, as they generally didn't need to sleep more than a few hours a day and were never supposed to let their guard down. However, Adrien was a lover of naps, especially with me by his side.I had to get ready to go to school, but I wanted to enjoy being in Adrien's arms a little more. I felt so comfortable with a peace that I rarely enjoyed.I felt him stir, knowing that time was beginning to pass and that we had to get ready to go to school. The day that was coming upon us seemed to be much more eventful than usual.Today I will have a serious conversation with my great friend. Maybe I even had to reveal what I am and what her new love interest was. It wouldn't be easy, but I trusted her. Ainsley had to believe me. After all, I am her best friend and the only thing I wanted was her well-being.And if
I had heard once, a long time ago, that certain warlocks could teleport. I never believed that it was true because they said that I needed to be very strong to be able to do it. They said that it was almost impossible, that, since existence, only three witches had managed to do it. One of them was even part of a legend.I remembered my grandfather, explaining to us with much love and patience all the benefits of magic. I also remembered not being overly interested, but Gabriel looked fascinated, so I endured the lesson reluctantly.However, Heath teleported us without hesitation. He didn't even gasp. He didn't look sweaty or pale. In fact, he seemed very nonchalant. As if it were the most natural act in the world.In a second I was in high school. Then I could only feel the darkness around me, the magic felt strange, unruly. My stomach churned, with a sensation similar to that caused by roller coasters.
ADRIEN. "There has not been any changes in the last three months," I answered. "As the community ordered, She has not used her powers more. For the wolf, there are still no signs of life, but she says she is fine. She clings to the idea that she is hidden inside her." "You said this had already happened before." "Yes, when Estelle arrived in the pack, there was no trace of her wolf." I cling to that possibility, although my hopes begin to be exhausted. "What about Gabriel?" Estelle's grandfather asked. "There are no signs that dark magic is present in his body. It seems that he was not affected." "His mate must also have helped him." "Yes, she's a very powerful
I was sleeping. Yes, I was sleeping peacefully. I did not want to wake up. I felt comfortable, as if I was on a pile of fluffy clouds. I wanted to keep in this state for a while longer. Here there were no fights. Here there were no deaths. Here there was no magic, neither good nor bad. Here, I could be at peace. I dreamed of Mother Luna, caressing my hair gently. She pampered me as if I was her own, rocking me in my dreams, watching for my safety. I remembered having talked with her, although I just could remember her words. I only know that she had murmured that she was going to protect me, even when it seemed that she had left me. She was always by my side. I also dreamed of my mother, who cried bitterly between my arms. As much as I wanted to ask her what happened, I could not understand it. It was as if she was far
Both nodded, waiting for me to explain what they should do. Taking a deep breath, I started crossing the battlefield, ignoring everything around me. Lily blocked the attacks that could hurt us, while Liam healed all the ones he saw pass near us. Allen Samuel was lying on his back, agonising. He was unconscious, his body full of injuries that I had caused him when he was trying to kill me. He was much stronger than Ainsley, so he would endure much longer than her. "Estelle?" Liam asked, not knowing what to do. "They must be sent to the past, that place where Samantha Eleanor lost her life," I explained. I would not have time to talk to Adrien, but I took care that he knew that I left the battle in his hands through our connection. I did not allow him to talk, I did not want to let him know how much I needed it at this moment. And I could not let him know t
"Ainsley!" I shouted, tearing my throat in the process. I saw the movement in slow motion. First the dagger fell from her hand, the sound was recorded forever in my head. Her eyes that's full of panic were fixed in Allen Samuel, as if she could only see him. She seemed to be apologising silently just before her body collapsed. I tried to get up and run towards her, no matter how I was in the middle of the battle. I'm not interested in what happened with Allen Samuel. My body did not react, I was struggling to not fall into unconsciousness. Standing up had cost me, but I was so concentrated in it, I was not interested in my body's current state. I had to get to her, I had to save her. Each step cost me. Each step was eternal. I knew, without a doubt, that I would come too late. I screamed from the frustration, since my legs were increasingly trembling, my vision began to darken and I was not able to take the steps t
I was already warned that there was a sorcerer capable of inhibiting our powers. It was one of the first things that Roscoe informed me since it was dangerous for us. For that reason, the best thing I could do was keep Allen Samuel away from the battle from his companions, but nothing had served. I could only fight against him for a few minutes before we wrapped up the general battle. I was even able to see Cody from where I was transformed, fighting against another wolf, only that he stayed in human form. Lily was healing one of the vampires, which had a rather chilling wound on his arm. Liam was close to them, making sure that no one approached Lily as he protected them. I could not see Ainsley, but that was better. It meant that she was hidden and safe. Soon I managed to notice Donovan fighting melee with several vampires. And Kaos was in the centre, taking care of protecting all of the magical attacks.
Adrien. When the enemies arrived, my first thought was that I had to protect Estelle. I did not know what to do, but I did not want to stay away from her for a second. However, I knew I would have to wean. Allen Samuel is Estelle's responsibility. One that I did not like at all, but it was her. I was watching the twins, who seemed to have fun being on a battlefield. And the only human in the whole place, Ainsley, was hiding among the witches. I saw Estelle fighting with Allen Samuel. My heart almost fell out of my chest when he lunged at her, taking her with him beyond as I could see. I wanted to follow, make sure she was all right and help her in her battle. I wanted to protect her ... I shook my head, concentrating on the battle in front of me. The first thing I saw was those masked men running toward us. They did not hesitate to try to approach us once Allen Sa
Gabriel did not hesitate to get in front of me and protect me from Allen Samuel. He came at the right time, when I thought everything was lost. The dark layer of the ice rippled in the wind. His body looked much more muscular, insurance for the training which he had submitted because of Allen Samuel. He looked at me from the corner of his eye, as he threw a ball of ice at the foot of our enemy. I stared at him for a second, spellbound with vision. He looked much stronger, even frightening. I hesitated for a moment to see him, I was not prepared to find all the changes that it made months apart. He did not look like the guy that I ran after school days, who came into my life and treated me with the utmost sweetness. One who saw me as if he was worshipping me. No. This witch had something that inspired great respect. The magic around him seemed to have life of its own, like a barely contained hurricane.
Three days later, in the middle of the night while I'm preparing myself to sleep, I received the first notice that Allen Samuel approached. Roscoe complied with his words. He warned me that they would arrive at midnight. So I'm in charge of notifying everyone. Thanks to Roscoe and the great work of Gabriel, we were already prepared for the attack so it was quite quick to mobilise everyone. We leave pregnant women, children and elderly in a shelter protected with magic. Kaos was the one who helped me do it, teaching me all kinds of tricks. I gave Miguel the order to stay in the shelter along with Ainsley. He complained, saying that he could fight by our side. I had to convince him. Even if the shelter was protected with magic, it was impossible to leave the other pack members alone. Someone strong enough had to stay, in case something went wrong. In addition to Miguel, we leave a couple of wolves near the shelter wh
Saying goodbye to Margaret was difficult. Most of the pack members were there next to her until her last breath. They all cried and lamented. Maggie was probably the most beloved person in her pack, leaving aside the former Alpha and her son. They all had appreciation for that adorable woman who gave her life to serve her pack. Of course we were hurt more than others. Humans said goodbye to their way of their own, we also had our own customs. Somewhere in the forest, we had mobilised up there despite the dangers. We rested Margaret's body surrounded by daisies, her favourite flower. When the moon shone on it, it was a sign that she was ready to start again, so some of the members began to light the flowers. Her ashes had to reach the moon so that our Goddess could welcome her home. It was a sad and painful ritual, but it had its ess
