KamariWe were quiet for a time, holding each other while listening to the water flow from the slight fall—the one from my dream. I hadn’t believed it at first. I looked around, hoping to find the predator, before turning to Theron, half expecting to see his eyes glow crimson. I only saw his surprised expression and felt this indescribable need to touch him, so strong it was impossible to resist. Touching him, feeling him, felt so right it tingled. My body began to heat up at his touch, and I lost all sense of control to myself.I needed to feel and connect to him; it was consuming. Even now, in our silent bliss, it felt like not enough. He quickly pulled on his pants and helped me with mine before needing to pull me back to him. He sat against a rock and held me against his chest, wrapping his arms around me and holding me while we gazed at the frozen scene before us, the lover’s waterfall I’d call it from here on out.“Kamari...was that your first experience?” He asked carefully beh
Kamari I drove the whole way home in Theron’s arms. As soon as we got in the truck again, we went straight for each other; I laid my head on his shoulder while his arm wrapped around me. It felt like neither of us wanted to be separated. We drove in peaceful silence; I decided to leave my question for another time, not wanting to disturb this feeling of being in his arms. When we returned to my place, Theron jumped out and held his hand out while I slid to get out on his side of the truck. He looked up at the house as if hearing something, smiling. I looked up at him and saw his knowing smile. “What?” Looking at him through narrowed eyes. He shook his head before throwing his arm around my shoulder, leading me to the house. “Nothing,” he said with a smirk, but I couldn’t help knowing he was hiding something. My mom opened the door before we could open it, Theron tensing when he saw her. I laughed to myself, realizing he was nervous about meeting my mom. My mom came out and gave me
TheronIt took the whole drive for me to find my senses again. The taste and closeness of Kamari's skin on mine was enough to drive me mad. The way her touches made my whole body tingle... I've never heard of a witch and werwolf mate bond, but somehow I knew she must be our mate. Hoku wanted to mark her right then, and there; he even forced our fangs out towards the end when I came. It felt so fucking good I could barely gain control and not mark her.Kamari still didn’t know I was a werewolf. What would she have done if I bit her neck, claiming her as ours? She would have freaked! I don’t think she saw the fangs; I was able to retract them in time. She did see my eyes, which she asked about, trying to change the subject of what she confessed to me. She didn’t have to explain; the answer lay in her lack of explanation. If I ever found the guy who hurt my mate, I would end him slowly, painfully, and with my bare hands.As for my secret, I wanted
KamariI ran as fast as I could, barely able to feel the damp, cold earth under my feet. All I could think about was getting away from the look of shame on my mother's face and sadness on Theron's. I failed; the Goddess passed me up, and I am a disgrace to my mother and clan. At first, I thought the Goddess decided to bless me; I could feel the power radiating through me.It zapped within my body, tingling and burning under my skin. It hurt but was manageable, and nothing compared to the feeling of the power of the earth flowing into my heart, my soul. I raised my hands to greet it, sensing the rolling storm coming to welcome me, electricity reaching through me to touch the sky. With eyes closed and arms raised I felt everything, including another's presence within that felt like an old memory, glimmering into existence. But then something changed; there was a sharp pain in the pit of my stomach. I groaned, unable to withstand the excruciating pinching sensation, swall
"Say something, anything. Please, Kamari." Theron groaned, finally breaking the silence. He held his hands out to me, a submissive pose. I smiled as I realized what he had done. He allowed me to see his innermost secret, his monster within, matching my own from tonight's ordeal. I put my hand in his, intertwining our fingers, sitting on my knees before him. We were so close I could feel his breath. I held my other hand up and lined his jaw. He took it as an invitation to graze my jaw with his hand, brushing his thumb along my bottom lip. "I think I always knew you weren't human. From the moment I first saw you, I knew there was something different about you, though I didn't know what. This makes sense." I lifted my head to stare into his eyes. He held onto my waist, holding me against him. "You...you're not...afraid?" He asked as if he was scared to know the answer. His eyes held so much compassion and tenderness in them. "No, Theron. I am not afraid." I whispered, letting him care
Theron I held my hand against Kamari’s back. If it was to steady her or myself, though, I didn’t know. We stood there silently, letting what Ms. Ostyn had just confessed settle. Kamari not only does have powers but is also a wolf. Not just any wolf, but a rare one, if she was already there when Kamari was a baby. That is almost unheard of. I still remember when Hoku first materialized in me. I was a boy around five if I recall correctly. I remember my dad being proud that Hoku had come forth so early. A sign of a strong Alpha warrior, he had said. Kamari’s had come along as a baby?! What did it all mean? “You did what?” Kamari whispered into the wind at her mother. “Why? Why would you do such a thing? How could you?” Her voice rose as she spoke, and her body began to shake. I held her closer to steady her. “Kamari, I-” Ms. Ostyn raised her hand to touch her daughter. “NO. Don’t touch me. All this time, you’ve been lying to me. I am not only a witch but a wolf, too. My whole life,
“Use my blood.” He said assuringly, shoulders squared and head held high. “Why would your blood matter?” I asked him, looking into his eyes. He looked into me with a tender smile, and love shone through his big green eyes. He went to say something but didn’t have to; my mom answered for him. “Because he’s your mate.” Hope shining in her eyes. *** Izabele I had the feeling for months now about the young upcoming Alpha. I was afraid of him getting close to Kamari because of what it may mean and the danger it would put her in. After seeing them together last night at her party, I knew what he was to her. Knowing he would protect my daughter with his life gave me hope. At the same time, it scared me to my bones, knowing Zander’s past with this pack and how he would react when he found out. Because he would find out, there was no hiding her or them now; their scents had merged. “I don’t know if it will work. A mate’s bond is crucial and sacred, so it has promise. It may lift it all t
“That’s not a cat,” Theron whispered, not taking his eyes off the creature lying lazily on me. I looked down and realized Orion was staring at Theron now, too.“What are you talking about?” I looked down at Orion.He’s right, you know. I heard a voice in my head. I jolted at the invasion. Orion jumped off my lap and sat next to me.Hello, Kamari. It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance officially. Orion dipped his head as if in a nod. I stared at the creature speaking into my mind wide-eyed.“H-he-hello?” I spoke to him. Theron slowly inched closer to me as if the small white cat was a threat.“How… who?” I didn’t even know what to ask first.My name is Moriko; I am a shifter. But I assure you, I am not a threat…to you. The priestess sent me to watch over you and be your protector. I didn’t know what to say, so I stared
