Adaline Point of Viewfucking, making a fool of you, think about it, how it was all a lieI scream, falling to the ground as I break into tears. There's a surge of power from me, and I scream more, as it tears out of me, like it's stretching me, making a home in my veins.I open my eyes, with tears in it, and scream when I see Alexandru laying on the floor."Alexandru!" I scream, running to him."Oh my God, wake up." I cry, holding his head in my lap, there's a bruise, on it, and his hands is twisted in an awkward position. It's broken."Alex, wake up." I say, placing my hands over his bleeding head.The words that come out of me are foreign, and they feel like mine. There's a surge of energy, but this is calm, feels blue. I glance down at his head, and see it's healed. I take his broken arm, and I chant, slowly, the bones begin to merge, heal, and fix itself.I catch my breathe, as he opens his eyes, but barely, and the next second, I am thrown backwards, my back hitting the wall wit
Adaline Point of View.Camilla Cabello's Never Be The Same blasts on from the boombox, I move my body to the beat as I serve the Omelets, then place the beignets on another plate.I smile at the Oyster, fish, stuffed tomatoes and shrimp. A perfect breakfast."Smells nice." Alexandru says, kissing my throat, I grin, knowing fully well, he meant me, not the food."Hi." I grin, facing him, just as he carries me, placing me on the Kitchen counter."Hi." He says, kissing me, swallowing my moan.My legs tighten on his waist, and he presses his body into me, a certain bulge pressing against my stomach, making me throw my head back, to find his hand shielding it, or else it'd hit the cupboard, which does nothing, but unnerve me more."Babe." He whispers against my skin, trailing kisses lowers, all over my chest, the swell of my breast, his tongue working it's magic all over my skin. He lowers the strap of my top, and I let him. Rough and calloused hands grip my breast, his finger going over
Adaline Point of ViewWe are all in the backyard, with lots of plants and herbs. I am at a cross road, not knowing if I should tell them about Lily or not."As a witch, we work closely with herbs, plants and flowers, there are our closest companion, and when you get acquitted with them, you will be fine, because it's rare what it can't do." Lola says and I nod."This is vervain." Blu says, holding a plant, it's purple, and the other one is dried, and has a very strong smell."It is used to wade away Vampires and demons, the smell alone can make them come undone, and when it is injected in their bloodstream, they boil from inside. It can't kill them, but it is used to stop them, weaken them, Vampires can be killed by chopping off their head, removing their heart, staking them through the heart or burning them alive." She says and I nod."This is acacia." Lola says holding a yellow plant. "It is used for protection and spiritual enhancement. Some witches also use it to create a meditati
Adaline Point of ViewNew Orleans is a city in Louisana, which is a state in USA, but with the popularity, you'd think New Orleans was more than a City. Some people call it NOLA, others The Big Easy, but I call it home, and do not know how I was able to leave, when the city holds this much beauty and love.The food, the music, the magic, and everything it entails, I would gladly take my last breathe here, and there's something I have been thinking about, but haven't told anyone about it, because I am still contemplating it, and weighing my options.I glance at the empty seat beside Blu and frown, just as the backdoor opens and Francia comes in, with a box of chocolate."Am I late?" She grins, and I laugh at her expression because she doesn't know she's in the midst of Werewolves, Witches, and I.She sits beside Blu, winks at Alexandru who smiles at her, and there's a bubble of jealousy in me, which is ridiculous because she's human, and he's my Mate."Let's dig in." Adora says, and we
Adaline Point of ViewShe is silent for a while then say "Do not let this change how you look at him"I laugh "Are you kidding me? It's Alexandru.""When you were in New York, and was hexed by witches. Blu helped him track them down, turns out they were two sisters, who wanted to kill you because you could make or break the world, they tried to explain it to him, but all he cared about was they hurt you, so he killed one of them, as a warning to everyone who might hurt you again."I exhale, wrapping my hands round myself, letting it sink in."He has killed, and will kill for you, Aurora." She says, and I nod, still unable to say anything."He actually loves you, and would rather die than see you hurt, it is a rare kind of love. He waited for you, and would wait ten years more, for you, Aurora. I am not saying anything, or telling you what to do, what I am saying is please, do not hurt Alexandru, because he is a Lycan, one of the most powerful persons on earth, but you, you are the onl
Adaline Point of ViewI stare at her as she confirmed my suspicions."No one took our relationship serious, but we did, and we became eachother's means of existence. We became each other, and there was nothing more blissful. I feel we have deviated from the topic at hand. Wwhat was it like to be a flower, like you were onn top of the world, and with the right man, it felt like the best thing, the best feeling in the entire world.""It wasn't all bad, and it wasn't all good, but it had it's perks, beautiful defining moments that has led us right here.""They took your babyy? How could that have happened?" I say, and she looks at me, giving me a bruised stare."I might have been the Flower, but I was still a woman, and my nature humbled me. Alexandru tore out of me, wanting to see the way, he tore me from insides out, but when I saw my baby bpy, it was so worth it, nothing has ever being worth it, except the baby Rafe and I made." I nod, feeling tears in my eyes, their love seem overwh
Adaline Point of View"We did more than hex him, just know his dick will never work again." Blu says and we burst out in laugher, but my eyes still on Xandru, he probably feel them, because he looks up, winks at me, causing me to blush all over."So that's why I am taking things slow with Sebastain," Selena says causing me to look at her."I didn't tell him everything about it, but I gave him a brief rundown, and he promised t gain my trust, before anything happens, and Archer is a sweet little boy, which is a bonus." She smiles, obvious that she has fallen in love with the little boy and his father."He's human?" I say in a low tone, her face falls and she nods."Dating someone, human, and hiding a major part of you feels like a sin against yourselves, but there's nothing I can do, like how can I say it, Hi Sebastain, I know I have not let you meet any of my friends, it's because they are witches, werewolves, and there's a powerful lycan, with his equally powerful mate. It does break
Alexandru Point of ViewI don't know much about cards, but the Ace of Spades only mean one thing - Death.Selena meets Addie's eyes with a shaky smile "The Queen of Clubs means strong and confident woman, it might be you, or someone else, this is your past, and there was fire predominatly in your chart. The Eight of Spades stands for temptation, misfortune and danger, it is a warning, if you are trying to do something you shouldn't, don't. Stay clear of things thelure to the wrong."Addie gasps, and my chest tighten, what is trying to do."The Ace of Spades is a follow up to the Eight Of Spades, and it means death, or a worse ending. Be careful, Adaline, the cards are not in your favour." "Pick a card, Luc." Blu says and I do, the first card - King of Diamonds. The second - Queen of hearts. The third - Ace of Spades."Your cards, The King of Diamonds, basically means authority, affluence, wealth, the earth is predominant in your cards, and since this is your past, I can say it has be
Alexandru Point of ViewI say nothing, just stare at them, then see Adaline walking over."Hey guys, what's up." Adaline says, when she reaches us."Ash was just telling Luc she wants to move here." Fran says, taking a bite of beignet."What?" Addie exclaims, and I am glad I'm not alone in this feeling."I thought you'd be on the next flight to New York, If it's money, I could lend you some of the money I got from the rent of my Apartment.""Aurora," Daniel smiles"It's not money, we are comfortable financially, to an extent. However, we will like to raise our Family here, like to grow old together, I don't know if you understand, but there's just something about this place."Addie leans against me, and my hand finds her waist. I stare at her, and she nods, we're in sync."If you are sure this is what you want." I say, and Ash gasps in joy."Yes, but anytime you have the urge to leave, you can." Addie says, and Ash gets up, hugging her, excitedly talking about getting her belongings f
EpilogueAdaline Point of ViewI open my eyes, a beautiful smell all over my apartment. I pull the sheets, covering my naked body, as I drag myself to the source of the smell.I swoon at the sight before me, Alexandru. He is moving his body to a beat only him hears, as he scrambles egg."Am I interrupting?" I say, with a smile.He says, nothing, keeps scrambling the eggs, then turns off the gas, because he probably felt me before he saw me."Yes, my solo performance." He says, smiling at me."I could leave." I say, in a teasing tone."Oh, no," He shakes his head."You already interrupted me, you will have to pay for it, one way or the other." He drawls, deliciously, making me close my legs, a certain ache between it.He smirks at me, and I roll my eyes, holding the sheets firmly. Nothing passes him, and this mate bond has heightened everything we feel. Now, that we have consummated our -- well, our -- now, that we have consummated what we are supposed to, we are much more in tune. How
Alexandru Point of View She left, went back to New York, My Mom said. I am confused, because who goes from telling me what to name our first daughter to dissapering without as much as a goodbye. Who the fuck does that? "Luc, are you with us?" Rick says, drawing attention back to the room. "Yes." I say, but it comes out harsher than intended. "Romania is defeated. Zayd, Federico and Zach took a Lycan army, and Coven of Witches there, to clear everything that remaining vampires, and take the people that might be there." "Luc and I will go to Asia to speak with their Packs, reassure them of our pisistion and how it it at the top, we are at the top, and if they want to challenge us, they can, we will win either way." "Asia?" I frown. "Yes, will that be a problem?" "How long will we be in Asia?" I say, looking at them "A week and or two." "Yeah, no, I am not going to Asia." I say, getting up. "Alexandru, I know that when the Pack was at war, you stood up, and helped, I know I
Adaline Point of ViewI stare at the row of houses, the beauty and aesthetics that is New Orleans.It's been a couple of hours since I saw Zoe, spoke to her. It was bittersweet, more bitter than sweet, because when I woke up, my bestfriend was still dead, and now, I have to live with the realization that Zoe is dead, she'll always be dead.I keep wishing to wake up from a bad dream, to open my eyes, and see it was all an expensive prank, I keep hoping to wake up from this reality that has merged into hell.However, I remember Zoe's word, and I love her, miss her more, but at least she was happy, I will forever delight in the fact that she was happy, that is enough for me, and I will carry her with me, till forever ends."Hey," I hear, look up to see Ashley, walking down to me."Hi." I say, then look back to the busy streets, the French Quarters, Bourbon Street."I was told I would find you here." She says, sitting beside me, on the bench."Yeah, Is everything okay?" I say, frowning at
Adaline Point of View."This is called Farewell's Embrace." Lily says, and I nod, standing opposite her."This is what we need." Selena says, and I look at her."A lock of your hair," She says, and I pinch it out, giving it to her."Something that belonged to Zoe." Blu says, and I go inside, bring out her necklace, give it to them."A vail of moonlit water, and a spring of nightshade, which we have here." Lola says and I nod."One last thing," Mom says "A piece of parchment and quill."Alex hands it to her, and I nod at him. We are in Zoe's room, the one she spent her last days. They light candles around the space to create a boundary and invoke protective energies.Everyone walks out, leaving us alone. Lily places Zoe's necklace at the center of the circle, and I sit in said circle, holding a lock of my hair in one hand, and the parchment with quill in another."Close your eyes, and focus on the connection with your bestfriend. Allow yourself to feel the grief, pain and longing. Thi
Alexandru Point of ViewFaster than I can blink. One moment he's holding her, and the next he cracks her neck and daggers her.I freeze, unable to move, wonderin what he just did.Adaline falls to the ground and screams, she screams so loud and potently that Cyprus is torn apart, bit by bit, molecule and atom, he is torn apart, reduced to absolutely nothing.Even then, she doesn't stop screaming, causing insane wind, hurricane, taking every last person from the Romania Pack, tearing them apart, even then she doesn't stop screaming.I fall to the ground beside her, just as Selena carries Zoe's body, even then, she doesn't stop screaming, and I realize she's not screaming as a means of fighting, she is screaming because she is in pain.I try to hold her as she screams, just as thunder wrecks through the sky, letting it pour down. Even in the rain, she doesn't stop screaming.The rain ends, replaced by hurricane, and she is still screaming._____Adaline's Point of ViewI can't breath. I
Alexandru Point of View"It is done?" I ask, and she nods, dragging me up, then jump into my arms."Yes." Mom says, smiling."Okay." I say, relieved."Zayd, Tony and Peter, you will be here, guarding our friends, do not let anything happen to them. Addie and Mom will seal off the door, you will only be able to come out, and the place will be sound proff, so whatever conversation you guys have won't get out.""Mom, Camille and Zoe, you are together. Faye, Catalina, I am sorry if this annoys you, but you have to be in the safe, with Fran and others, guarding them, and protecting yourselves.""Zach, Rick, Dad, you are with me, we will get their attention.""Elena, Alina and Federico, you will station yourselves around this house, but do not make it too obvious, act like you are hiding, but when anyone comes your way, you kill.""Lola and Adora, you will help us draw their attention to ours. We need to capture Ronan, and please for God's sake, anyone get Cyprus, bring him to me.""Adaline

Camille gasps, and she runs into the house.There's a taste of failure in my throat, how could I let this happen, we thought we were tricking them, but they laid a trap and we fell perfectly into it."What happened?" I say to Rick who has blood all over his face."When we took your friends home, they followed us, and we didn't expect anything, until a couple of hours ago when they crashed on us." Zayd says, his hands on Zoe's shoulder."Before we could act, they threw grenade-like substance at us, but this was filled with Wolfsbane and Vampire venom. The witches were trapped in, because they were all at Adora's, delegating, but when Romania came, they trapped and. . . killed th

Wake up, and be true to yourself, embrace the darkness in you, wield it, Adaline Vulkov, or they will kill you."I need to speak to that Seer one more time.Now, I see that everything happened the way it was supposed to, most of my step were predestined, but I forged my own way. She told me to embrace and wield the darkness in me, which is what Alexandru also said, but I did the opposite, I went to seek for darkness, for an external one.I didn't know I had everything I needed in me, how insane to find my equilibruim in my enemies' dungeon.I have found a way to banish the Ancestors, because for one, they are self appointed, two, we have actual Ancestors, dead and consecreted witches, New Orleans witches, I just have to find a way around it."Do you und
