Adam’s POVI saw the look she gave me. Those bright, beautiful, green eyes, apologetically met mine. I was bewitched by it.How come she had the most enchanted eyes? I met so many women from hundreds of years of my life, I never met one like her.She spoke and acted without hiding any bad intention, a pure and soft-hearted one. Was it because she was one of my kind?Well, now it makes sense because I only met one Dryad descendant other than me and it was her.I don’t understand why her mate hated me. That Lycan always looked at me like I was a criminal. He maybe thought that I wanted to steal his mate. Which I don’t… or at least that is what was in my head days after we met.It would be a lie if I said I didn’t get excited to meet my own kind. I thought I was the only one left, but even after years I finally arrived here at Elden Wood, I found no one here except for Ni, the fairy water. But then, out of nowhere, I met her, I found another Dryad, a beautiful one indeed.I thought she w
Lilly’s POVWe made it back when it was almost dark.Luca carried me again because he said it was slippery and I didn’t refuse this time.I almost couldn’t feel my leg.Luca was taking his time, and it also surprised me what happened to Largo.It was me who wanted him, I didn’t know why I felt so aroused these past few days when it was just the two of us. And Largo didn’t wait a second when I asked him to have his way with me.But something halted him from it. He usually will do anything as he pleases, but today, he did it really slowly as If he was afraid. And it was the first time he did that. He usually made me scream and beg for him to stop and I was tired, and he wouldn’t even listen.I thought maybe it was because we were on a rock in the middle of the river. They might think it would hurt me if they did it just like the way at home or on solid ground.But I was so aroused that I beg them, that waterfall reminds me of the one we have back at Blue Moon. Where they did the Luna ri
A loud thud behind us startled me. I flinch as the sound makes the ground shake a little. I turned around and saw a huge wild boar there, dead with his blood splatter everywhere.“Luca?” I called him. My voice barely out as the lump in my throat pains me. He was standing there and I guessed the wild boar under his feet was his game. He looked at me with a frown. And I quickly wiped my tears.“Love, what’s going on?” He approached me and crouched down. He tilted his head staring at me like he was curious and furious at the same time.And I was so busy hiding that I was so scared and hopeless right now.“Oh my, that is a huge prey…” I heard Ni mumbling.I was going to melt this cold tense when he finally noticed my wet eyes and red nose and talking about the wild boar he brought with Ni. But Luca beat me to it.“What did you say to her?”Luca’s voice was too deep and the low growl was a warning. I sat straight and gulped the lump in my throat.It was clear Luca was talking to Adam.At f
Theta, Elderlake…“Declan?”“Declan?”I heard it again, that soft voice that almost makes me a mad man for missing her. I couldn’t see anything or reach it. But I knew for sure that she was talking to me. I wanted to call her, but the words got stuck in my throat. I couldn’t even open my mouth.“Declan, where are you?” She whispered right to my ears. I turned my head and it’s still dark, I felt like my body’s floating in the air, adrift in the waves of emptiness.And I’m pretty sure it was a dream.“Baby? Where are you?” I finally able to speak but my voice came out so weak that it sounded like a whisper.“I am here, Declan… I miss you...”I felt a pang in my chest. How I wanted to pull her in my arms. It’s been so long that it hurt me every second that pass.“Baby, I miss you too. Please, tell me where are you…” I was so desperate in this moment. I barely could hear her, don’t even think about touching her, kiss her…The I light came from behind my back. It sudden brigthness almost
“How’s Jamie?” I asked Cylas who guide us the way to meet their witch. We were walking far enough from Cylas house, on a small path way to the forest, until we walked passed the bamboo forest, the wind blow through make it whistle beautiful notes to our ears.“He’s fine, I visited him this morning before our breakfast and he asked me to accompany you to her place. I think it was that time again when he mourn for his wife.”I nodded. Well, I thought Jamie was dead before we arrived at this remote pack. But we never know that he actually live and well in this place. He even had a wife here, and had this agreement with Myrna.Just how many things we didn’t know about Myrna and her secrets…“Is she usualy kept her distance with people?” I heard Finn asked him.“No, Alpha. She often visits us in the pack house but she chose to built her home a little far near the borderline so she could mediate and watch if any inturderr trying to enter the pack.”From what he explained, this witch had Myr
Finn’s POVWe sat on the dining table outdoors, in the backyard of the cottage. This place really reminded me of Myrna’s peaceful backyard and Jamie’s outdoor dining area in his pack house. If I was not mistaken, Cylas too had this in his backyard.Did they get the inspiration from Myrna? Or did she tell them to have one in their houses like this?I am not against this, I rather find this outdoor dining table is…. like I said, peaceful…Now, it wasn’t that bad sitting here enjoying a cup of coffee with Lilly wrapped in my arms, even though this pack is already odd and the air is thick with spell aura.Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.We were here with cups of tea, not coffee, and Lilly wasn’t here.But this girl instead. The witch we've been looking for this whole time.I looked down and sighed, then looked around to avoid this awkward situation but hell, how fail I was. I just couldn’t take my eyes out of her face.The woman’s version of our Dad.Declan was sitting next to me, mea
Molie smiled when I mentioned that. She looked down and her shoulders trembled. I thought she was going to cry but then I heard her giggle.So, this witch could actually laugh that freely? So much like her mother I supposed.“Sorry,” She looked up and wiped her tears as the smile was still on her face.“I really wanted to say those words but never had the guts to. I was too much of a coward even to say those words here…” Her sudden blank gaze told me that she might have some particular memories playing in her mind.“You are afraid of him?” Declan asked her and she nodded instantly.“Sadly yes. I was aware that he had my mother wrapped around his fingers. If I do anything reckless it might end with Mom losing her life. I didn’t have enough power as I’m a hybrid myself, but I wanted to help her.” She paused and smiled in agony, “In the end, I never help her at all, I’m just her weakness that she needed to hide.”Finally, it’s my time to sigh. This is more complicated than I thought. But
Cylas looked at us with wide eyes when he heard Molie.“G-going to Blue Moon? Are you sure it’s safe?”Me and Declan were still sitting at the dining table in Molie’s backyard. Cylas seemed to help her harvest the veggies they needed, but we were sure that it was only Molie’s way of telling him that she would depart for a while from Elderlake.“It is, Cylas don’t worry. I wanted to see where my Mom’s buried anyway.” We could hear here in this distance.“Are you worried about them?” We heard her again, “They won’t hurt me, I know that…”“But, Molie, Myrna said that…”“Mom sent them here before her death, Cylas. She made them come here to seek my help. Mom will never do anything to hurt me in any way…”We heard them. I was grateful somehow that it was really me and Declan that came in here. What if someone else pretends to be us? From this matter, I could tell that Molie must be at least years way younger than us, it is normal for Cylas to worry about her sudden decision.“I’m sorry for
