The power she embodies, and the way Alexandru can tame her, it's so beautiful, makes me blush and ache. What do you think will happen next?
Adaline Point of View I stare at him, clad in a trouser and shirt that does nothing to cover his annoyingly chiseled body. His dark hair, a mess, like he ran his hand through it, in frustrations. "I can get an hotel, there's one near the Cafe." I say, taking a bite of the delicious pancakes "Fuck no, you have to be safe." He says, and I can basically see his thoughts, like it's written in subtle for me all over his face, can he see my thoughts too as clearly? "I don't want to make you uncomfortable." I say, taking the last piece of the pancakes, rising so I can clean it. "You could be at the other end of the world, and I'll still be uncomfortable, Aurora." He scoffs, and I still, more at the way he spits my name, than the venom in his words. I place the plate in the sink, swaying my hair off my face, as I turn to him, placing my hands on my hips, I am so tired. "Look, Alexandru. ." He cuts me off with a sharp look "Luc" A single word, and it tears through me. I nod, then gulp
Adaline Point of View"No, We can make something." I say blushing, the way she said it made it seem like he and I were together."I have not seen you in a while, I need to feed you, and there's something there for him, help me pass it along." She smiles, and I nod, taking the food from her, placing the dougnuts in there."Can you point me in the direction of Lola and Selena's place?" I say, and she nods, pleased.She directs me, and I nod, then say as an afterthought "And Blu's.""Same place." Tony says, and I nod, hugging Adora."Come see us again, with my son this time." She says, and I leave her place blushing,, I need to stop blushing.I walk in the direction she described, with the bag in one hand, I knock on the store, smiling when Lola opens the door."If it isn't the famous Adaline." She laughs, as I walk into the store, admiring it's decor."This place is beautiful." I say, touching the crystal balls."Thank you, Sel and I made it all." She says, and there's softness in the w
Alexandru Point of ViewI punch the bag over and over, trying to release the fury and conflicted emotions in me. I am cuurently in my In-House Gym, which I really need to equip, but I have been busy and contented with the equipments in here.It's currently past eleven and Adaline is not back, she left home this morning like a woman on a mission, and Rick texted me some minutes ago, saying she was there, I wonder what she's up to.I crack my knuckles, thinking about her outburst last night, perhaps I was so hard on her, but I do not know what to do, how to act, she has made me so confused.I take the backdoor, staring at my large backyard, I could fit a pool her if I want to, but I prefer to use as my work space. I pick up the hammer, set the nail on the plank and I bring down the hammer. I am making a shelf for Alina, she's being pestering me about it, and I started it few days ago, before Addie came and scattered everything.My bachelor's pad has be infliterated by her, all the ways
Alexandru Point of ViewI nod at them, then leave the room, wondering how Addie made Fran fall in love with her, too.I walk back to the Living Room, to clear the table, and it happens, my head is thrown backwards, and I am drawn somewhere else.I see her, Lily."We do not have much time, sit with me, Alexandru." She says, drawing my attention to our surroundings.I stare, and we are in a field, on a sunny day, and I know she is projecting.I sit opposite her, out of curiosity. Looking at her, there's something undeniably familiar about her."Do I know you?" I say, settling on the chair."Do you?" She asks, and I stare at her, her grey eyes piercing mine, red hair and slim, and I think it's more out of starvation than anything."Why am I here?" I counter"Adaline is finally home." She says, and I sit upright, mention of Addie gets me like that."She is a very powerful person, how she was able to share her troubles with you, linking your mind to hers, leting you see the vision I plague
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
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
Alexandru Point of View"By the power within me, I call upon the unseen,To reveal all barriers that hide from me.Let the invisible be made visibleAs I try to save my family from Monsters."I watch as she cast the spell, then as a veil-like barrier falls off Rick's house, revealing everyone inside."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
Adaline Point of ViewIt has begun, could be the end of the world, or a new dawn for us all. Be careful who you let inside your home, open your eyes to the reality of the world, wake up from the dream you've concoted to keep you safe. 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
