MarthaI walked away from the couple with Indigo, heading back to my valley to rest for a while before getting back to the coven, however the witch had other ideas.The wolves were still fighting against the witches and none would let up until we stopped them.We could not teleport as we were out of manna. So we flew, but that could only take us far enough to use the rest on foot.We got to the coven, ringing the bell and getting everyone’s attention.“All of you should stop fighting and listen up!” I yelled. This got their attention. “We’ve reached an agreement. The wolf pack and the witches should stop fighting for now. The alpha would brief you all tomorrow. Witches, tend to the wounded wolf and witch. Wolves, help pile up the dead for the pyre.”They all grumbled but complied with my words as I sat down with the witch.“So she’s dating that jerk who nearly took our heads off,” she laughed. “He’s a strong fella, I’ll give him that.”“He’s a Lycan. It’s not like we weren’t expecting
SinclairWe entered as a woman sitting on the couch got my attention.“This is where we live,” Jane said, ushering me in as I marveled at how cozy the place was.The woman got up from the bed, shivering to a corner as she raised her hands up in an offensive manner.“I’m not here to hurt you,” I said, raising my hands to show that I didn’t want any trouble.She didn’t believe me but Jane walked to her. They whispered while I walked into the dining room to see that the patterns on the table were old.Soon she joined me. “Do you want tea?” she asked.“Yes please,” I smiled, sitting in a chair which was too small for my frame.I watched her work around as she knew where everything was kept.“How did you end up here?” I asked. “You can’t tell me you found this place on the first day. It took me a while to find you.”She put the water for tea and turned around to face me.“Well, let’s see,” she pulled her head back to remember her journey through the rough terrains. “I ran out of the pack a
JaneHe was right. I had missed him really badly. The scent he gave out after having his shower, his beating heart pounding beneath his chest, his strong muscular arms that made me feel like a prisoner each time I laid within it.I had missed all of that. Was I ready to get back into it yet? No. I was not going to waltz into his arms just because he came back to me. He was going to beg for it.I had tried by accepting his pleas, but that was where it was going to end. Anything else and it was over.“I’ll take you to your room,” I stood to my feet, leading him up the stairs.We entered and I pointed to the bed.“It’s good enough for two people but you’ll feel comfortable laying in it.”He nodded. “I’m guessing you’re not staying with me,” he guessed right. I was a bit mad at him.I had spent more than four months without him, I could go a little more. He had taught me how to live on my own. He would try harder to get me back into his life.We walked into the room as I headed for the ba
MarthaI got them two different cups, created the tea and gave it to both of them.“Are we happy now?” I asked, but indigo was not satisfied. “Who gets the tea I made?” she asked.“Nobody but me! Do you want to sleep outside? Because it can get pretty cold in these parts.”She gulped and settled down to drink her tea.I, on the other hand, had had enough of their nonsense and was heading for my room.***Sinclair’s POVWe sipped our drinks noisily while staring into each other's eyes like we were going to rip each other apart.She did not trust me, neither did I. She was just another egotistical, maniacal witch who could be deadly if she wanted but from what I could see believed she was the only law around.“What do you want?” I asked, dropping my empty cup down. “You seem to hate me for some reason. If it’s because I attacked you in your coven, I apologize, but I was only trying to protect my Luna. I was not trying to do anything harmful to you for no reason. I got reports that she
JaneSoon enough he was called with Martha and indigo to go before the entire pack and coven to make their treaty.“Let’s go,” he said to me but I wanted to stay with the burning bodies a bit.“I’ll stay here a while longer.”“Inhaling that is bad for you and the baby.”He was right but I wanted to stay with the bodies.“I’ll stay here for a while and then go into the hall.”That sounded right for him before he kissed my cheek and walked with the others.I heard cheers and applause from the people in the hall.It must be nice having the power to do anything one wanted. But these guys burning on the pyre didn’t have that choice. They followed orders.They were just extras in my story. They had died for reasons they didn’t even know. Just because Sinclair had been feeling powerful, he had attacked a coven that just the last time had been a wonderful civilized city.I looked at the fallen palace, walking toward it.The windows were shattered so I entered through it, walking on the walls
JaneOur journey started with everyone riding along with us. It was not an easy one but we rode through the rough terrain and entered the packlands .Throughout the ride I could feel his cogs turning as he thought of what he was going to say to the pack. It was unlike him to be scared but he was afraid. This was something he had never done before. I knew he was doing all of this for me… for peace.The trouble was that even as he wanted peace to reign, the pack was going to be a tad bit reluctant, but he was a dangerous man. He could figure out how to treat the subjects that refused to listen.“How is the baby?” he asked. “I don’t know,” I smiled leaning back. “It’s just there.”“Your skin is thicker, he said. “I noticed when you punched me yesterday.”“I already told you that it was from the magic. I doubt I could punch you hundreds of miles away like I did last night.”“But what if it wasn’t from the magic. What if that was your natural strength? You did say you had been training f
SinclairI had called for an emergency meeting with all elders, court members and the elite members of the witches.They all segregated themselves as they were not yet familiar with each other. I found Martha and indigo to be settled in their new seats quite well but the pack elders had not taken the news lightly.“What are they doing here?” an elder growled in rage. “Are they even supposed to be in the same pack with us, let alone in the same room?”“Relax,” I sighed. “I know this is going to be a lot to hold but they will be living with us from now on.”This had the entire hall filled with outbursts from the elders who found this very terrible. Most of them laid out threats and some promised to destroy whatever coven that was built.I looked at the witches who were calm and collected. They could only stare at the elders without saying anything.They were powerful enough to defeat the elders in a fight, at least that was why they were calm. All they saw were whole whose barks were b
Margaret“What is it?” she turned to me in anger just as I gestured for her to come to me.She did before I removed the barrier. “Indigo calls for you,” I said as she hissed before leaving.I had been in the palace during the meeting when I found her walking round the back of the palace to meet up with a man who was talking to a woman.The maid left but she and the man got into a heated argument.I could sense that she was mad at him for something but I couldn’t tell what it was. Before I knew it, she had engaged with him which he blocked.She then used a move I had taught her to use if the opponent tried to evade her moves and that was what she did, but on a much larger scale, kicking the man with so much force, I saw him fly with speeds that I had never seen before.He destroyed a barn and this was when I knew I had to step in.She was pregnant and I didn’t want anything to happen to her or the baby.I didn’t know who he was or what he could do, but if he was holding back and she di
