The Familiar
Hazel
After the baby was born, I went back to our bedroom, as Garreth called it. I opened the window for Gera. The cold night air poured in, and I could just make out her glowing yellow eyes perched in the tree nearest the packhouse. She watched me wave to her but remained outside eyeing the place with blatant distrust. Even with the weakened state of our connection, I could feel the displeasure rippling off her feathers.
I wasn’t sure when she started watching and hovering, but I sincerely hoped it wasn’t while we mated. My cheeks burned at the thought of her seeing what we’d done. Even if she was only an owl she was still my familiar, and that wasn’t a side of myself I felt comfortable sharing with her. I cannot say the thought of her peeping was enough to keep me from him.
The night passed with many

I stared at the creature who pretended to be my familiar, who laid with me when I slept, supported me while I mourned my parent's death, and endured the rejection of my people beside me. My safe harbor laid on the ground before me, leaving nothing truly safe left in my life. The wolf I loved, and bound my life and soul to, was fated to me, but still more or less a stranger. We didn't know anything about each other other than the impossible love between us. I had no doubt the connection of knowing each other well would come in time, but we didn't have it yet. I realized with a painful stab in my heart that the same was true for her. As much as I thought we were the best of friends, the closest two beings could be, I knew nothing about her. There was no one left in this world I truly knew. It made me wonder if I even knew my parents. Gera was certainly Fae, long-limbed, with pointed ears, and a touch of magic glowing in her, but it was darker than I was accusto
The Eternal Forest: Her Alpha Darkness Escaping
Garreth Rage, searing hot rage, and pain exploded within me. My wolf burst forth as she ran away from us, we watched her slender form darting away, she was quite fast. He wanted to chase her, and that speed only increased his desire to chase, to conquer. With strength I didn’t know I had, I managed to stop him. I battled with him, but now that I was in the back of his mind I didn’t know how. I knew if I was upset enough, he could use that weakness to force his way out, but my weakness was his strength, how did I fight that when my pain consumed me? I gave up on taking back my body and focused on controlling his. His growls poured out of him in a constant stream as I managed to keep him from hunting her. He didn’t want to hurt her, but I didn’t trust him, not in this state. If she needed space, I could understand that, I could come to terms with it. If she planned to leave me that was another matter, the pain of
The Eternal Forest: Her Alpha Chicken Piccata
Hazel The man I loved continued to lay in my lap until the sun slunk low in the sky. Well, that was a waste of a day I thought dryly, and a hysterical laugh burst free from my lips. He turned to face me for the first time since we'd been this way. My legs fell asleep hours ago but I didn't dare to move him. He peered up at me with his lovely amber eyes, red-rimmed and exhausted. "What's funny?" His voice was thick from the screaming, crying, howling, and not talking. I rolled my eyes, unable to help myself. “We didn’t get much done today.” “I suppose not.” The sadness in his voice nearly swallowed me whole. “We should head back to the packhouse, we’ll get cleaned up, have dinner, we can talk, and start again tomorrow.” “Okay.” I agreed, and he stood taking me with him. It made me a little sick to be covered in deer blood, but until this moment I didn’t think much of it. “I’ll carry you.
The Eternal Forest: Her Alpha Just a Taste
Garreth I could hardly believe what was happening, she was in my arms, telling me we needed to find a way forward, together. Together, she still wanted to be with me, and even more amazing I could smell her desire perfuming the air between us when she mentioned trying things she’d read about. The emotions coming through our bond had been so calm, so sure. The only reasonable interpretation I could come up with was that she was leaving me, and felt justified in that decision. I never imagined she could just accept me as damaged as I was. I didn’t deserve this incredible creature in my arms. Guilt swelled within me for feeling relieved she would stay beside me. She shouldn’t, not when I’d come so close to hurting her. I didn’t even remember what my wolf did, it was like I wasn’t even there. From the scene I returned to, and the intensity of his guilt, I knew it had to be something awful. The thought that
The Eternal Forest: Her Alpha Raze
Hazel His words hit me like a wrecking ball. I couldn’t speak, I could barely breathe. “Do you want to know what happened?” He offered as he felt the tension in my body and the fear through our bond. I nodded my head against his chest. “Do you want a little space?” I shook my head as scared as I was, I was exactly where I belonged. He took a deep breath. "This isn't easy for me to talk about for a lot of reasons, but you must understand. I know you've bonded yourself to me because we needed to save your life, but once we get your wings back you can leave me if you choose. It's important for you to know you have options, I won't hold you prisoner." He ran his hand roughly through his hair. "I guess I'll start at the beginning." “My father’s name was Mason and my mother’s name was Claire. He was a typical headstrong, explosive, young alpha and she was the prettiest she-wolf you’d ever see.” The warmth in his voic
The Eternal Forest: Her Alpha The Seelie Fae
Hazel We stood at the portal to the Seelie Fae Realm, I couldn't help but look around in search of Gera. I kept expecting to see her soaring through the air prepared to make amends with me for whatever it was that happened. Part of me was sure she wouldn't let me go without help, without telling me what she knew. She loved me, and if I was wrong about that I didn’t know what I would do. I couldn’t see her, but I thought I felt her eyes on me. I was probably imagining things. Our connection was severed entirely when she shifted back to fae, I couldn’t feel her now. Garreth forced a smile at me and held my hand tightly in his. "Are you ready?" He aimed for light-hearted but I could feel his fear and doubt. We had no other choice, but leading me blindly into potential danger went against everything he stood for. "As I'll ever be." I smiled back. His lips met mine for a sweet kiss, and then we stepped throu
The Eternal Forest: Her Alpha Traps and Snares
Garreth The world was different than I remembered it, warm, and cloudy. The clouds were more than just water hanging in the sky, they were soft beds to lay on. I sighed at the feel of them against my bare skin. Hazel was gloriously naked, her body shined in the soft light. Her legs wrapped around my face and I licked her sweet pussy as her perfect breasts bounced above me. She moaned in ecstasy, as I worked her closer to her peak. Without having moved she was suddenly beneath me. I held her hands above her head as I pumped into her. She cried out my name and it sounded like music. I felt my orgasm building, I came inside her, feeling every bit of stress and pain I’d ever known drain out of me with it. She laid in my arms and I couldn’t believe the feel of her, the bond wound even stronger, purer than ever. Her wings shimmered on her back. I felt her healing magic spilling out of her, fixing the deepest parts of
The Eternal Forest: Her Alpha Ties That Bind
Garreth “Why am I here?” I demanded, doing my best to break out of the thin golden chains holding me against a tree. They cut and burned their way into my skin but they didn’t budge. “You came here yourself, wolf.” She spoke the last word with derision. “Why don’t you tell me why you and your abomination came to us.” Her swirling eyes settled on a mix of red and orange that resembled flames. “Don’t you dare speak that way about my mate!” I roared at her, thrashing uselessly. What did she mean abomination? My mate may be more than she seemed with the fangs and all, but she was light and wonderful. I wanted to rip her throat out for the insult, it bothered me more than the fact she had me in captivity. “What are you going to do about it?” She taunted me. “Oh, that’s right, nothing.” She laughed with a melodic sound, a creepy smile stretching her lips. I thought these were supposed to be the good fae, some
