Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 22. The beginning of the end
Everest Sienna had gotten up and walked away from Finn hurriedly. He stood there, eyes on me, watching to see how I’d react. I wasn’t a stranger to his rage…I knew he had a temper, and I’d been on the receiving end of it already a few times. Plus, what he’d done had been to defend me…not that I condoned strangling young women, but I knew in his mind he was protecting me. Although I could have done without knowing that they’d had sex before…my stomach churned at the thought of it. He stood there with his eyes burning and chest heaving, so I approached him slowly. Memories from the night before flashed in my mind making me blush slightly. His scent hit me and all I could think of was the way his skin felt on mine…his fingers between my legs…his lips…his huge thick...I shook my head a bit, trying to focus. By the time I reached him he seemed to have relaxed a bit. “He
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 23. We need to talk
Everest On the bottom floor of the packhouse there was a common room tucked at the back. It had a theater size flat screen, a ton of cozy couches and chairs, a fridge fully stocked with snacks and drinks, a pool table, air-hockey, videogames, and every board game you could possibly imagine. This is where we met Dayna and Lupin for our girl’s night. We started the night off with a line of shots and played every kind of drinking game you can imagine. Lupin and I teamed up for beer pong against Dayna and Kali and got absolutely slaughtered by them, making us far more intoxicated than we’d intended. After a few hours of games, we sat down and starting chatting, getting to know each other better. “So, I spend most of my time travelling to neighbouring packs talking about the benefits of having female betas and trying to break barriers for more women to be higher ranked in the packs. At first it felt like a lost cause, but over the last year or so a lot of alphas have really come around.
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 24. Rejection
Finn I grabbed a pair of shorts from the house and went back to meet Everest at the lake. She wanted to talk, and I felt a pang of anxiety at the thought. Was she going to reject the bond after everything I’d put her through? I wouldn’t be surprised, but the idea sent a sharp stab of pain through my chest. My fear of losing her had out done my fear of loving her tonight and Sienna had almost paid the price with her life. Granted she deserved it, but Everest had asked me not to. Banishing her hadn't been fun, but there was no way she was going to go unpunished for what she did to Everest. I reached the grassy lawn before the sandy shores of the lake and saw Everest sitting down in the grass, her arms wrapped around her legs. She’d changed out of her bloodstained shirt and now wore a simple white t-shirt with light denim shorts. Her feet were bare, and the light from the moon made her golden ha
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 25. Lupin
Everest I stood rooted to the spot, staring into the eyes of this creature. Its blood-curdling screams echoed off the mountains and its eyes were glued to me. It flapped its massive leathery wings and took off into the air, circling high above us. “What the fuck is that?” Finn shouted. “I – I think I’ve seen it before… but I can’t remember what it’s called.” I shouted back. We ducked under the nearest tree and Finn sent out a mass mind-link to the entire pack to stay indoors. “We’ve got to kill it” he growled. He shifted into his massive grey-blue wolf and ran out of the trees, searching the skies for the creature. I stood against the tree and closed my eyes, wracking my brains to remember where I’d seen it before. White, leathery skin, wings, fangs…
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 26. Revelation
Finn I rushed forward and caught Everest before she hit the ground, as everyone else stood there too stunned to move a muscle at what they’d just witnessed. I picked her up in my arms and carried her over to the bed on the other side of the room. The golden orb on her forehead was still fading and her skin, still feverishly hot, was slowly returning to normal. The room had burned with her aura, and everyone had been forced back to the edges to escape the intensity. The doctors rushed forward to tend to Lupin and check her vitals, and Dayna, Caleb and Kali stood there looking shocked. “Alpha, what the hell was that?” Dayna gasped. “Everest’s a gifted wolf…” Kali whispered, her eyes wide with amazement. “Holy…” Caleb held Kali against his chest, his eyes as wide as hers.
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 27. Goodbye's
Everest Every muscle in my body ached. Using the gifts had proved to be exhausting, but I was grateful that I could help people. Finn had woken me up to shower and ‘talk’. I knew he just wanted to complete the rejection and get it over with since we’d been interrupted last night. I’d told him that I loved him, and he’d still wanted to end this anyways. I knew now that no matter what happened he was never going to change. At least I’d had the chance to tell him once. I thought about the way the Aswang had acted. It had stared directly at me. It wasn’t there for Finn; it had wanted me. Even with him attacking it, it had charged for me. I felt its hunger for me. I knew now that this was all tired together. The aswangs appearance, the attacks, my abilities…it was all tied to me. I scrubbed my skin until it was reddened trying to clean Lupins blood off. I wanted to check on her before I went home. I climbed out of the shower, wincing at my achy muscles and pulled on a scrub shirt and a p
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 28. Free me
Everest His lush lips found mine with a hunger I’d never seen in him. In a second my back was against the wall and his hands gripped my hips pulling me into him. The only thing I could think about was getting closer. My hands moved to his hair and our tongues tasted one another. His lips travelled down my jaw, along my neck to the soft spot between my neck and shoulder. He kissed and sucked my mark spot causing me to moan with pleasure. My whole body felt electrified by him, and he was ravenous for me. His hand moved underneath the loose shirt I was wearing, massaging my breasts, while the other slipped down into my core. I cried out as he found my sweet spot, and my arousal coated his fingers and my inner thighs. “That’s right, baby” he whispered against my ear, as he took control of my body. I opened my eyes, looking directly into his deep blue orbs. His eyes burned with passion, and they w
Wolfsbane: His darkness, Her Light 29. Decisions
Finn I would have taken my side being gashed open by an aswang one thousand times over the pain that had erupted within me when Everest had attempted to reject the mate bond. It had taken every ounce of strength I’d had to hold myself together enough to decline the rejection. I could feel the tether to her holding on by a thread and I’d grasped on to it with everything I had. I left the room and fled the house, trying to run from the pain that had consumed me upon her rejection. Nothing quenched the flames that scorched me on the inside. I fled into the woods and shifted allowing the grief to envelope me alone in the dark, damp forest. I’d ruined everything. Lupin had nearly died trying to undo the hurt I’d caused, and Everest had given up on me. I hadn’t given her a reason to keep trying, but now that I knew what I wanted it was that much more painful to see the repercussions of my actions.
