Chapter FifteenAs Daykan sat across from Naomi at ‘Yummy Tummy,’ at a table for two, he would forever question what sort of sorcery she had invoked to get him into that position.He had even pleaded for a few extra minutes so he could take a shower too.The woman was a beautiful witch and the spell she had cast on him was definitely working.It was funny to imagine if she were an actual witch; a hybrid and a witch. What a couple they would make.He was fairly certain that she was just a human. Although his father had felt the same way and look where it had gotten him.Maybe Daykan wouldn’t have turned out as a non-believer of love and having issues trusting anyone; especially the opposite gender.But he wanted to trust Naomi so much. His heart longed for the opportunity to emotionally bare himself before her and seek solace in her arms.Could he really trust her? It wasn’t possible.Their mateship was a cursed one before it even had the chance to start. It was stained by the stigma o
Chapter SixteenFood.The Wraeken was hungry and growled in anger. All it could think about was satisfying its hunger.It spat out the chunk of deer thigh that it had been trying to chew and gagged in disgust.Revolting!There was only one thing that could tame the burning pit in its stomach; human flesh.Everything else tasted like rotten garbage and it had, had enough.It was beginning to slowly lose its sanity and it didn’t mind. It no longer existed as “he” and could feel its conscience slipping away. It was a wonderful feeling and it welcomed it.Why had it waited so long to have the delicious first taste?Its power grew with each human meal it consumed.But the time frame within which it needed to feed was getting shorter and shorter.At first, it had been satisfied with indulging in its cravings once in three months. But that window had quickly narrowed down to once in a month.Now, it was once every two weeks and it knew that it could only get worse.Soon, it would run mad fro
Chapter SeventeenOh God, not again.Carson was supposed to be a relatively safe town. But one of their few psychos had ended up at her doorstep.Naomi was trying not to panic. She could handle this if she calmed down.But it was bringing back so many traumatic memories.Come on girl! You can do this.She inhaled deeply and slowly released it. This wasn’t going to go down like last time.At this point, Sharon had wrapped her arms around herself and was shaking; the tears were finally dripping down her cheeks.“I don’t want to go with him,” She murmured incessantly.Naomi turned to her and gently held her by the elbows.“Sharon, Sharon. I need you to calm down and listen to me. Sharon!” Naomi called out sharply and Sharon finally kept quiet.Naomi held her gaze. “Are you listening to me?”“Yes,” Sharon replied softly.“I’m not going to let him take you. I’m not going to let anything happen to you. Do you understand? I swear that I’m going to protect you.” Naomi said firmly.“Okay, than
Chapter EighteenAs Daykan walked into the packs’ meeting hall, a feeling of uneasiness settled in his chest and he could not seem to be able to shake it off.He attributed the feeling to the fact that it was time for another packs’ meeting.He was a little cautious when he had to attend stuff like this. He always wondered that what if the packs came to a decision that it was too dangerous to allow him live and it was time to get rid of him?A general pack meeting would be the perfect place to ambush him. They would come at him from all sides, ensuring that he would have no chance to escape and take joy in finishing him off.Due to his membership, the Crimson Pack might not support his execution but what could they do against the united front of the other packs? The most they might be able to do, is refuse to participate. But he would really appreciate if one of his pack members would give him a heads up in case things ever got to that stage.Although he knew that his wild thoughts
Chapter NineteenNo one was exactly sure who or what the Moon Seer was. No one knew how old she was but there had been talks of her being around for hundreds of years.Through the ages, werewolves had tried to explain her existence but there was no certainty that they were right. Some said that she was an old werewolf and such a loyal priestess of the Moon Spirit that she had been granted eternal life; so she could continue doing the Moon Spirit’s will on earth.Others said that she was a part of the Moon Spirit that had been sent down as a physical form to have contact to and connect with her creations.But over the years, there were certain facts that had been established and accepted as true by all of them.The Moon Seer was a sacred being who had been alive for a very long time. She was the mouth and eyes of the Moon Spirit on earth.In the most unlikely situation where a werewolf would want to sever their mateship bond, she was the one who oversaw the ritual.On few occasions,
Chapter OneLana had always dreamt of this moment; holding the hand of her soul mate as she struggled to give birth to their child. While other women might not be particularly enthusiastic about the process of giving birth, it was something she had always yearned for. She had always been prepared to embrace the pain because she felt there was no greater joy than being a mother.The contractions that caused her teeth to clench in pain did not seem to hurt so much as she gazed into the eyes of her significant other.“You are doing fine baby, just keep pushing and it will be over soon,” Erek encouraged as he gently squeezed Lana’s hand. He was terrified because Lana was bleeding a lot and he couldn’t imagine losing her. It was fairly common for a she-wolf to die on the birthing bed and with Lana being a human; her chances of survival were less than average.“Just a little further Lana, I can see your baby’s head,” Zera called from between Lana’s open legs. Zera had helped give birth t
Chapter TwoAs Daykan stood with his arms crossed, it occurred to him that he really did enjoy spending time at his gym, it felt more like a home than the place he laid his head to rest each night. Maybe it was because he felt in control and truly at peace here.When he had thought about the kind of business he wanted to set up, a gym had seemed like the most suitable option. He really wasn’t an office guy and couldn’t imagine sitting behind a desk from 9am to 5pm every day. Plus, he really wasn’t a fan of dressing up in a suit and tie; at the gym he could literally be shirtless and it would not be inappropriate. Daykan also enjoyed working out and his body showed off the results from all those times spent lifting weights. He was six foot six inches tall with thick silver hair that was long in front and shorter at the back; he had light hazelnut eyes that always seemed to be sparkling. There was also the fact that his gym body was enough to stop any girl in her tracks as she had a
Chapter ThreeDaykan really loved his car so when seventy-eight year old Bella Bloom backed up and crashed into the bumper as she was trying to the exit the gym parking lot; he resisted the urge to curse and throw a fit. By the time he rushed out, Mrs. Bloom was stepping out of her twenty year old car and it was obvious that she was badly shaken.“Mrs. Bloom are you okay?” “I’m perfectly fine. I’m usually a really careful driver.” “I know,” Daykan said reassuringly. She really was a careful driver and word around town was that she had never gotten so much as a speeding ticket.“I’m so sorry.” She looked up at him with guilt filled eyes.“My insurance will cover the damages so you don’t need to worry. You should come inside and sit for a little bit. You look a little jittery.” Daykan suggested gently.“Okay.” She carefully made her way back to the entrance. Daykan walked a few steps behind her, ready to catch her in case she fell.He escorted her out thirty minutes later when she
