*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
*Bryson*I laid on my back, staring up at the greenhouse roof that was changing colors with the rising sun.It had been days since Ada and I had come up with our plan to go to the Grandmoon gardens, and yet here I was, hiding in a shed. Ada insisted that I still wasn't strong enough to travel and wanted to give me a couple more days of healing before we took the long journey.And as much as I didn't want to seem weak in front of her, I had to admit that she might be right. When Ada wasn't keeping me company, I tried to do a few workouts (small ones that I was able to accomplish in the small space of the shed) and even those I had been unable to finish after getting winded and lightheaded.Ada insisted I needed to stay in the shed though, and away from the sight of anyone in her pack, especially her parents. There would be too many questions that neither of us really wanted to answer.There was a small noise behind me, and I couldn't help the small
*Ada*I felt my breath hitch in my throat as the anticipation of feeling his lips on mine climaxed. Bryson was about to kiss me. I hadn't even thought about if it was what I wanted or not. My body didn't have to think about it though. The beating of my heart was confirmation enough.My eyes drifted closed."ADA!!!"I jumped as I heard my name screamed through the previously silent woods. I would recognize that voice anywhere.I panicked and pushed Bryson away from me, my eyes darting around me to find out where the source of the voice was. I heard spluttering from beside me and realized that when I had pushed Bryson in my panic I had ended up pushing him further into the water. I didn't have time to help him, I jumped up to stand between him and the intimidating man that was barreling toward us."Dad, stop!" I yelled out, making sure that I was standing between the two and putting up my hands in an attempt to physically stop him. "This isn'
