"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

Inhaling a short breath, Merlin said, "I told you... you can trust me. I knew you'd find a way. What I found quite fascinating however, and something I wasn't entirely counting on, was you completing the bound."
Merlin took a step forward and she asked hastily, "How did you know?"
He couldn't have possibly been watching, could he? Thought Arianna. If so, he should easily have been caught, his presence made aware to Demetre and his keen senses.
With just a foot of space left between them, Merlin' eyes searched her face whilst lifting his hand near her face. Exhaling, Arianna closed her eyes, unsure of what he was about to do, but she relaxed when his fingertips brushed over the scared puncture wounds left behind from Demetre's bite. The slight sigh that passed through he
🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"Why is it,that when the story ends,We begin to feel all of it.".•●•.Her cheeks were a shade of rosy red, Demetrius' touch so close while Alex's hold had become ghostly. Her heartbeat drumming in the ears, feeling them so close to her as she whispered shakily, "Hands."Before their actions turned into something deep and passionate, Demetrius and Alexander drew their hands away reluctantly.Demetre's eyes met Arianna' as she stared at him with confusion. He nodded toward the door and said, "Looks like Olivia needs to speak with us."In the next moment, the large wooden gates of Demetrius' room were wide open as Olivia Fletcher stood at the entrance of the room."I'm sorry if I disturbed you all in anyway," Olivia's voice broke through the silence surrounding them. The lighting was just perfect for a romantic conversation, but

🌷M O N G R E L 🌷"The universe doesn't give you what you ask for with your thoughts, it gives you what you demand with your actions."- Dr. Steve Maraboli..•●•.▪ A R I A N N A ▪It was unnerving, the way my body gave into his voice, my bones and ligaments snapping into place to allow my human form to come forth, the furs replaced by skin.I could feel skin, his skin against my own.The sharp jolt I got from coming in contact with Merlin made me highly uneasy, considering the fact we were both naked, his knees on either side of my thighs while his grip remained firm on my shoulders. My body went numb, feeling his cock slowly hardening against me when he leaned down.Our breath mingled with one another as he dipped his head down, his lips near my ear as he said, "You want to know why I was betrayed? Yes, rivalry was just the tip of the iceberg....
🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved.".•●•.▪ A R I A N N A ▪When I glanced to my left, my heart began to sporadically beat and I pushed myself further into Demetrius' chest when Merlin lowered himself next to me.How can Alex and Demetrius be so calm right now?What the hell is going on?"Little Ana..." Demetrius' voice broke the silence and he gently said, "let him explain properly."I said nothing in return, my fingers left the death grip I had on my own flesh to twist around the fabric of Demetrius's shirt, my fear was mixed with bewilderment. Merlin's eyes were calm and understanding, no anger .... not even jealousy lingering behind those depths."Inári," Merlin began, his voice was even as he asked, "How does it feel?""W-What?" I said in between uneven breaths.&n

However, I faked being in love with her so that she along with the coven members would create an elixir for immortality.I was in love with Amara and it was so strong that my love for her was the major motive behind accepting Amara's request to create the very first spell of immortality with the help of Aurora, who was also a very powerful witch and also madly in love with me.In order to get help to create the spell, I manipulated and convinced Aurora that I loved her and wanted to spend an eternity with her.Out of love for me, we created the spell of immorta
🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"It is not the length of life, but depth of life.".•●•.▪ A R I A N N A ▪My lips slowly lifted away from Merlin's wrist, the puncture wounds having sealed shut as my gaze drifted off. My breathing was uneven, trying to steady my heartbeat as I slowly lifted my gaze to meet with Merlin's.Merlin's eyes searched my face, wondering if he should speak and when he finally parted his lips, he said, "Yes, I was selfish. But I paid every price of my selfishness..... and after a long time of sufferings, moon goddess ended it with the gift she gave me in the form of you...," I can see he might think I have mixed feelings about his next comment, but he continued, "After twenty centuries of pain, I'm glad I have you by my side, finally."I was silent, letting everything sink in as he mentioned, "You're the balance for this world.""W-Why?" I could hardly s

He has given me NO reason to trust him in the slightest. Of course in the beginning, I trusted him. But, since he came back to the real world, our relationship has been built on lies.What was genuine? What was deceit?I really have no idea!Alex never acted like this before, being drowned down by this path with the five centuries old vampire and two thousand years old mongrel influence. At least with him, everything was out in the open, my favourite trait about him, even when things started out rough, we worked through it."You have no idea what Clitus is capable of," Merlin cont
🌷 M O N G R E L 🌷"A great obstacle to happiness is to expect too much happiness. ".•●•.There must be some truth behind his words at the way I felt, not just the explicit and unpredictable desires for him, but I don't feel the need to claim and mark him like with Alex and Demetre, it felt like he was already mine in every aspect."So long as you have your claimed mates, I'll jot pursue you in that manner, until you're ready." I allowed his hand to roll mine in his, my eyelids closing just at a mere touch as it trailed up the exposed skin of my arms, "All the three of you are mine, I'm also here to protect them," his hands cupped my cheek, driving me wild with desire as I let out a shaky breath, "If something happens to our mates, I will remain here to ensure that they are protected. After that, if we wish to claim one another, only then will we consider it."Exhaling sharply, "You're not j

She explained what had happened to her in the parallel realm, how she met Demetrius' father, Clitus and Alison. And how she discovered that her unborn babies were in danger.She left Merlin with Demetrius and Alexander, who vowed to help each other while running the world.In the meantime, she headed up into the mountains and forests, staying at royal hunting lodges until her twins were born in the spring.Now she had two beautiful babies- a little girl called Meadow and a little boy ca

There was no disagreement, an understanding of how the world needed to be righted and put into balance. She smiled up at him, hearing Alexander saying, "Let's get this party started!"

Staring up at the dark ceiling, still stuck somewhere between the living and the dead.Breathing in, she needs to get up and stop Demetrius, thought Arianna. She tried to get up, but she was too weak. Arianna had lost too much blood to move. Her skin was virtually white from blood loss. She had no idea how long she had been out. The pool of blood around her was ice cold by the time she had woken up.Rolling onto her front, Arianna began clawing at the ground. The walls shook around her, and she could see great cracks starting to streak across the vaulted walls.She was so tired, so hungry, but she knew that she had to get out before this place fell in on itsel

Demetrius yelled at the top of his voice."I can't!" Merlin snapped and stated, "she had to transform on her own, if she can fight it we'll have her back, if she can't then she's simply gone.""No! Ana... Ana!" Demetrius exclaimed.▪●▪"Ana...""Ana!"The voice echoed through her mind, like a voice calling to her in a dream. Arianna was in darkness, alone and unsure. What had happened to her? Now seemed like a distant memory to Arianna. She remembered fragments, like Demetrius holding her, his eyes turning black with rage as her life slipped through his fingers. She had died, Clitus had killed her, and now she wasn't sure where she was.

With her life being draining away, the bond faded, but when Arianna touched his mind with every ounce of life left in her body, she found nothing but solid blackness."What has he done to you?"
