*Ada*Cole stood there, in front of everyone…claiming credit for everything that Bryson had just completed. I knew it wasn't really Cole, since this was a vision of the past, but it was his image standing there now, just as Bryson's image was there.I looked towards Bryson, and he looked back at me. The question on his face mirrored my own: What would we do now?"What the hell, Cole?" Bryson asked, loud enough for everyone to hear.Cole shrugged. "I am doing what I want for a change and getting what I want."He struck out at Bryson before he even had a chance to react. Their father stood back and watched as the fighting ensued between his two sons, looking no more worried than if he was watching a race.The fight was vicious, and on a good day I was sure that Bryson would have won. Yet he had just exhausted all of his energy actually doing all of the work that Cole took credit for, and the exhaustion was showing in his motions.I knew it hurt him to fight his own brother, and I
*Ada*Ignorance is bliss.And lucky for the cursed Luna, she was unaware of everything going on since she had taken the love breaking potion.Unlucky for me, I was not unaware.Though, her thoughts began to cloud my own, and I started to feel the same way that she did. Cole was our mate and the true Alpha, and we would do anything to make him happy. So when she found out she was pregnant, she took off to tell Cole first thing.She grabbed the door to his room and flung it open, but the smile that lit up her face and her insides was wiped clean as the scene of the room unfolded. Cole was there, yes, but he was butt naked, and it obviously wasn't her in his bed.It was her best friend. At least, that's what I gathered from the sense of betrayal and heartbreak that was coursing through our shared mind. And even in the few seconds that they continued their actions it was clear that this wasn't the first time.In fact, when she let out an audible gasp, he turned around to simply dism
*Ada*Cole's attitude towards his fake mate might have improved, but the ex-friends had not.This was entirely evident when the poison she had continued to slip us took full effect. The scene opened up before my eyes, and I could see that it was the night of the full moon. That was all I managed to observe though before the body I was in went out of control.The feeling was familiar as an extremely powerful force burst from inside, taking over the body and exploding out into a different shape. This time, due to the poison's effects, the power was uncontrollable and physically blew out from her body. The force blasted down the closest parts of the Alpha's house, and flames overtook the rest.We watched in a daze as people ran and screamed, the Alpha house continuing to burn to the ground."It's her, it's the cursed Luna!" A voice cried out, and she was vaguely aware that it was the voice of the ex-friend. "She is the one doing this!"More cries of fear and anger, a call to action
*Ada*Darkness surrounded me.My hand began subconsciously rubbing across my slightly raised belly.My eyes blinked, yet it didn’t change anything. They were black when they were open, and black when they were shut.The door to the room was thrown open with a large bang.Heels clicked across the hard floor. Sharp nails suddenly dug into my chin.The perfectly manicured claws started to constrict and my breathing became strained as they clutched the soft skin of my neck. I began to struggle.A laugh from the woman who was finally happy to see a reaction from me. Happy to see me suffering.I saw the flash of silver.The blade was pointed at my abdomen. My body didn't feel like my own, it was heavy.The darkness morphed and changed.Flames burst to life in front of my eyes.I opened my mouth to scream, but nothing came out.There was no way out.In the distance, through the flames, I could
AdaI placed my hands gently on his chest and neck, listening for signs of life. It would be pointless to attempt to save a man if he was already dead.I might not have my wolf yet, but that didn't mean I was totally useless. I actually had quite a gift for healing, and I used that gift now, though it didn't take an expert to conclude that the man was indeed still alive. However, it would take skill to get the man to safety by myself.And for some reason, after placing my hands on him I really didn't want this man to die now. I shook my head as the feelings of sadness and heartbreak tried to make me pity him. I was only feeling those things surely because of how handsome his face was. There was something so striking and strong, yet still so gentle about his face and I found myself leaning in to get a better look before I caught myself and shook my head again.I had been wanting to see his eyes.I looked around me once more. Nobody seemed
*Ada*I opened my mouth to reply, but before I got the chance, I watched as he began to slump. Sitting up had been to exerting for him and he was going to pass out, just as I had predicted."Shit," I muttered to myself as I dove forward to catch him as he fell back to the ground.With how skittish he was being I was further away than I would have liked. Yet, somehow I still made it to him in time to catch the majority of the fall and prevent any further damage.I leaned my ear to his chest and could hear how rapid his heart rate was. It seemed to skip as soon as my head layed down on him. The longer he lay unconscious, the more his breathing and his heart calmed down. His heart was still beating strong and hard, but I took that as a good thing.……The sun began to rise and the rays of light broke through the small ceiling that once worked as a greenhouse cover. One of the rays happened to sparkle off of a small badge pinned to the man's shirt. I leaned in closer, curious
*Bryson*I stared at the beautiful woman in front of me as she looked at me in confusion. She didn't seem like a threat, but I couldn't help but force myself to stay strong in front of her, despite how hard it was to stay on my feet.Or maybe I didn't want to look weak in front of her for a different reason."A…disease?" she asked.Her voice had calmed down again, and I had to admit that when she wasn't screaming at me, her voice actually sounded quite nice. There was something melodic in the way her sentences lifted."Yes, a disease," I told her, trying to convince her as much as myself. "Since I was 10 years old, I would have irregular pain in my bones all over my body. Sometimes even to the point of fainting."I left off the rest of my tragic story. She didn't need to know that my parents had spent as much money and time trying to find the most powerful healer or the most powerful medicine, and none of it helped in any way. In fact, all t
*Ada*I forced myself to stand there and watch as the man convulsed on the ground. It was harder than I would have expected to stand by and not help him, but I needed to stay strong so that I could get what I wanted as well.Plus, what did I owe this man?"So what's it going to be?" I asked. "Will you take me to the gardens?"The man didn't answer me, but his eyes found mine, and I could no longer stand by."I'll take your silence as a yes," I said.I bent over and quickly unscrewed the lid of the bottle and attempted to pour it in his mouth. His spasms made it difficult, but I was eventually able to stabilize his head in my lap and pour the medicine down his throat.It didn't take long for his body to still before me. His head remained in my lap, his eyes closed as his breathing started to calm down. I reached down and tucked a wild stray hair away from his face, causing his eyes to flash open and stare right into mine.This t
