Marcus POV
I and the guys were sitting alone with Damon, Wyatt, Zen, and Damien in the study as the girls went out together with Edmond to find in the old library the ancient book in which it says how and where to find the White Moon’s warriors and the mountain, as we will need to know how to get inside it.
“So...” Damon said, looking at me as we all were sitting on two leather couches, drinking his father’s whiskey, and discussing what we all have just found out.
I looked over at him, arching my eyebrow in question as I asked him, “What?”
I have kind of knew what they were all thinking and wanting to ask, but that's none of their business to know, as it was between Olivia and me only.
Time stood still as Marcus was looking down into Olivia’s eyes. He couldn’t believe his ears what he was hearing, as he mutedly looked into her eyes, trying to find if she was serious about what she was saying. “Love... are you sure?” Marcus asked her, feeling his heart pounding hard in his chest as Shadow was excitedly jumping inside his head. “Yes... I want us to complete the bond and mark each other, Marcus.” Her hand caressed his cheek, looking deep into his eyes, and in a second his lips were pressed down onto hers, kissing her with all the love and passion he was feeling for her. He pressed her down on her back into the softness of the mattress, pressing her down with his chest as his hands roamed down her body. He
Waking up the next day after the long night of passion felt different but in a completely different way. The feeling was so hard to explain, as I never in my life felt so complete and like the last piece of the puzzle has set in its place. A strong grip was holding me in place, making my back pressed into a strong chest, as warmth engulfed me in its cozy cocoon. My hand reached up to where now my mark was showing, touching it as it felt a little sore, but I couldn't stop the feeling of pure and complete happiness that ran through my whole body while my fingertips caressed Marcus’ mark. A slow movement made me for a brief moment to freeze, as a gentle kiss was laid down right above my mark, making a shiver run through my body as not intentionally a moan left my lips,
“An hour and a half at the most. They are moving pretty fast.”Soon as Wyatt has said this, Damon was fast to move, giving out orders while Marcus said to us all, “We have to get moving fast. Go get everything you might need because this is going to be one long journey.”Everyone nodded their heads, agreeing with him as they all rushed back to their rooms to pack up all necessities.“Go and pack your things, love, I will join you in a few minutes,” Marcus said, caressing my cheek as he leaned down and kissed my lips.As he was about to turn around and leave after Damon, I reached out my hand to grab onto his, making him stop and turn around to look at me, “Where are you going?”
Hearing the name Edmond made the man walk towards us. He raised his crane and said something which I couldn’t quite understand, making the barrier that we saw glimmer a few moments ago to shine as a whole was made in the invisible wall. “Come through.” The man said as he gestured towards us with his hand. Slowly, one by one we walked past the barrier making it the moment the last one of us passed it, to close up again behind our backs. When I turned back, looking away from the barrier, my breath got caught in my throat as we all stood there dumbfounded, seeing what looked like a little village appear before us. “Welcome to Kellela. Follow me.” The man said to us as we all followed slowly, sticking to each other close by,
Waking up the next day, I had to blink my eyes a few times, looking around trying to figure out where I was. A firm grip was holding me tight, pressed into a warm, hard body, making me look down to see many interesting drawings of my mate's tattooed arm. I trace the drawings with the tip of my finger feeling mesmerized by it. I felt Marcus slightly stir in his sleep when suddenly he kissed my mark, making me stop tracing the drawings. “Good morning, love.” His raspy voice said close to my ear, making a wide smile show on my face. I turned in his arms, facing him, kissing his lips when I saw his sleepy adorable face, “Good morning sleepy head.” He chuckled at my newfound nickname kissing me once more before he turned his
We were all silently watching him when he said those words, not understanding for a moment what was going on.His eyes were looking towards me and I felt as if I couldn’t breathe. When Marcus looked the way the male that was still standing by the door was looking, Marcus’s eyes narrowed to slits as he stood up and growled at the male.“What the fuck are you saying?” Marcus’s voice boomed loudly inside the living room, making my eyes widened, looking from him towards the unknown male.The male took a step forward as Marcus was looking between the male and me.“Mine!” the low voice followed by a growl said.Marcus looked at me with a silent question and I couldn’t believe what was
*** Waking up, I saw I was wrapped in dark fur that provided me warmth, sheltering me from the outside cold and storm that was raging. I looked over at Marcus, sleeping peacefully, when lightning shone outside, spreading the light inside this little cave we were in. “Come to me…” I heard a gentle female voice as she was calling for me, but as I looked around, all I could see was my friends and Marcus peacefully sleeping and no traces of the woman. I blinked, looking towards the entrance of the cave, when a tiny light shone, calling for me to walk outside into the storm. For some unknown reason, I wasn’t feeling afraid
Morning came as we all woke up, trying to shake away the sleepiness that we were all still feeling. I looked over at Marcus as he was still in his wolf form and couldn’t help myself as I admired how beautiful his wolf was. The dream I had last night came back to me, making it so hard to believe it was a dream as it felt so real at the same time. “We should get going,” Damon said to us as one by one we all walked outside the cave. I saw Logan let Lizzy climb up as Mandy followed behind her this time. Turning around, I saw Marcus nudge me, showing me to climb up on his back so I did as he asked as my brother followed shortly, “I am riding with you this time.” Chuckling at his
It has passed a month already from the last surprise meeting that we had from all the pack’s Alphas and Elders that came to Blue Moon’s pack, to speak with Marcus voicing out what they wished.***Flashback“We want you to be our Alpha King, a ruler of all shifter communities at once.”There was silence as everyone was silently looking at Marcus and his reaction.He stood there silently, looking at the Elder, feeling surprised by his words. His eyes roamed around the hall as he was observing everyone’s faces.As soon as his eyes met mine, I decided to use our mind link and call his
A few days have passed by since the battle between us and the darkness.We have lost so much but at the same time; the battle brought us all in some way, closer together.Finally, I was home, together with my family and my friends once again.Marcus hasn’t left my side, not for once since we got back together, and I wasn’t complaining as I missed him for far too long during the time that we have been apart.In these 5 years that I have been away from Marcus when I was brought to the dark lands, a man that waited for Tyson and me, outside the Elders castle, performed some magic ritual that made my necklace to shine and in an instant, I felt as my bond with Marcus has dimmed down, I couldn’t connect with him in any way anymore nor could I use a mind link,
Marcus POV My heart raced faster when I saw the wide, enormous gap showing up inside the barrier. Finally, I let my lungs to breathe as Damon and Azrael followed me as I rushed towards Talia. Reaching Talia took me only a second as she looked closely into the darkness. Without looking at me, she said, “We have to be careful when we pass this barrier. I can feel the darkness’ strength as it is lurking from inside.” I turned towards Azrael and Damon, “No time is to be wasted, we have to move and find Olivia. Warn the warriors and be careful as we do not know what we might deal against when we pass into
Marcus POV Watching at the little cottage that was in front of us, Azrael said, “Well, here we are. Ready?” he asked, looking over at Damon and me. I nodded my head while Damon said, “Let’s go.” We walked towards the cottage, reaching the front door as Azrael extended his hand and knocked on the door. There was silence as no sound from the inside the cottage came, making me feel restless as my mind started to wonder if maybe Talia was not home. Damon, Azrael and I, looked over at each other, each one of us wondering the same thing, hoping we were wrong. “What if she is not here?” Damon said out loud what we all were thinking, looking towards t
Marcus POVReaching the faraway lands of the forgotten, or as some call them the Dark lands, I could see many warriors patiently waiting for our arrival.I was impatient as finally I was a mere step away to finally reunite with my beloved Olivia.Soon as Damon had landed onto the land that was on the border of the Dark lands, I jumped off of his dragon’s back and went straight forward meeting the warriors.Zen and Wyatt appeared as Azrael and Damon followed behind me. Dragon shifters were all back into their human forms, making it easier for all to communicate among themselves.“There seems to be some kind of invisible barrier that is preventing us from crossing over.” Wyatt said to us all, making m
Marcus POV The time passed and before I knew it; it was already 5 years gone. My search after her never has downed down as I restlessly looked everywhere, in every place, sending search parties to follow leads that were heard only to be fooled away, but I never gave up. There wasn’t a day I stopped my search for even to get some rest, nor I cared for myself as all I wanted was to find her and bring her where she belongs, by my side. Damon and Azrael followed me everywhere, and I was grateful to them both for all their help. The Elders’ court was dismissed as the ones that the day Olivia vanished into the thin air, they fought against us, wanting to keep the Law alive. We decided to grant t
The moment Tyson said those words out loud, there was a silence for a few minutes making Elders think about his request. One of the Elders stood up from his seat as he said, “Tyson is right! It is better to prevent the disaster if we deal with the matter right here and now. The Law should stay.” A few members followed him as they cheered approving the Elder's words, while others looked over at them and Tyson, finally having their eyes set down on us. One of those members stood up and looked over at the members who were more than ready to fight with us now, and said, "We messed with something that we shouldn't have. None of us is a God nor a Goddess to have the right to mess with higher things that as Olivia said we are gifted with. You all saw and heard the words of our Moon Goddess and it shocks me to see that e
It was already early morning when we left Damon’s pack together with all the White Moon’s warriors, Damon, Logan, Tanner, Trent, and Zen, leaving in The Opal pack James and Wyatt as well as Mandy, Annie, and Lizzy, who I must say protested a lot.I was currently riding on my mates wolf, followed closely by Azrael and the warriors as well as our friends.Damon chose to go in his dragon form together with Zen, to keep an eye out from above the sky.I would have felt cold if it wasn't for the warmth that was engulfing me, coming from Marcus. His soft, dark fur was like a cloud, inviting me to snuggle closer, making my arms stretch as far as it was possible, wrapping around his strong neck.Holding tight as we were rushing fast through the forest. I could barely
Standing there, watching Marcus after the challenge had finished, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from him as he stood there tall and proud, surrounded by the White Moon’s warriors. His eyes drifted towards mine, making my heart flutter as all I could feel was the love I have for my mate. A smile crept on my lips, as slowly he approached towards me, wrapping his arms around my waist, pulling me closer into his warm, firm body as his lips pressed down on my own. The jolt of power passed through me the moment he kissed me, making my breath hitch from the intensity of the feeling, the feeling of complete and utter love. We made some space in between us, as Marcus turned and surveyed every and each warrior that was waiting for him to speak.
