A Werewolf for the Witch #27 Old Friendships
AldrichI make it just in time for breakfast. On my way back, I simply could not shake off the feeling that something bad was about to happen. I felt like there were eyes on me all the time. That scent… The familiarity of it sends shivers down my spine.I succeeded in avoiding most of my pack until I was almost out of the forest, but towards the very end, I met Tabah, Kimur’s younger brother. Tabah is a spy employed by the Council. He spends much of his time on missions in other kingdoms. Tabah told me he got back to Vega only last night. The Council has apparently recalled all their best spies to the capital to track down the princesses. It is redoubling its efforts in trying to track down the princesses. My only thought was we’ll now be assaulted from both sides: my pack as well as the Council. Werewolves have a keen sense of smell and are excellent trackers; that coupled with Council’s resources means we have zero chances of remaining hidden for too long.As we headed toward th
A Werewolf for the Witch #28 Defenses and Forbidden Rituals
AvaleaI would have loved to spend the day practicing my magic, but those eyes… I shiver when I think of those eyes. There was only one thing to do after seeing those eyes keeping a watch on me. I had to place defensive spells around the hut, the path to the privy, and the actual privy itself. Since I have received at least some kind of defensive magical education, placing the protective spells around the area was relatively simple. The protection is still basic, and given that the assassins breached the much stronger defenses of the palace, the hut is still vulnerable, but it is better than nothing. Given time, I might be able to strengthen these defenses in the ‘right way’, the ‘legal way’. And time is not something we have.Besides, using strong protective magic presents another kind of danger. It invariably leaves a trail that other magical beings with certain skills can detect. The Werewolves, with their acute sense of smell, are already trying to track down Ann and I. I don’
A Werewolf for the Witch #29 Kisses
AldrichHow can I refuse? Besides, it feels fucking good to hold Ava in my arms, to feel her lips on mine after the day I’ve had. She wants me to kiss her like I’m her lover? I’m only too glad to oblige. “Is this really what you want?”“Yes.” Her reply is immediate, without hesitation.With one hand on her waist, I hold her tight and pull her flush to me so that every soft curve of her body is molded to mine. My other hand travels up her side, brushing her breast with my fingertips before moving up her collarbone, over to the base of her neck. My thumb draws circles at the hollow between her clavicles. The pale, almost translucent skin of her neck looks so inviting. I’m tempted to sink my teeth into her delicate skin. Spearing my fingers through her disheveled braid, I yank her head back, exposing more of her slender neck to my gaze. She gasps out loud, her pupils dilating. I can smell her arousal as well as her fear. The scent of her arousal is far more potent than that of her fear
A Werewolf for the Witch #30 Obstacles
Avalea“The protection around the hut… did you place it?” Aldrich asks.I’m finding it difficult to concentrate on his words.The kiss has left me shaken to my very core. His lips, his tongue, even his teeth… especially his teeth, drove me to the very edge of insanity. If his hand hadn’t drifted down to my behind, I don’t know what the kiss might have led to. When he cupped my behind, it shocked me, but I was more shaken by how it made my desire spike up. I’m thoroughly inexperienced in the various ways in which a man and woman might touch each other and pleasure each other. From the way Aldrich looks at the swell of my breasts, I think he might be interested in touching me there. I can’t be certain, though. All I have is bookish knowledge, and the books I read weren’t even the raunchy novels Ann’s maid used to smuggle for Ann sometimes. I merely know the science behind it. When I read the chapters on procreation as a part of our Council-mandated syllabus, I was blushing red the ent
A Werewolf for the Witch #31 Lies and Priorities
AldrichAva is looking at me, her eyes shining with excitement. Despite the worry twisting my stomach into knots, I can't help taking a moment to appreciate how incredibly stunning she looks with the warm glow from the fire kissing her pale skin. I know without a shred of doubt that I'll give my life to protect her. The realization stuns me. I didn't know her two days ago, but today, I'm ready to die for her, to kill for her. I can't afford to dwell on the depth and the intensity of my feelings for her, nor can I afford to let guilt over the lies I have told to be with her overwhelm me. If she has indeed come up with a way to protect this hut from outsiders, it will give her enough time to heal. And once she's healed, I'll actually track Connor down like I promised Alpha Tam. That is the excuse I used to make Alpha Tam relieve me of my duties.When I laid my reasons down for wanting an indefinite leave of absence, Alpha Tam wasn't very pleased. If the circumstances had been diff
A Werewolf for the Witch #32 Confessions
Aldrich"Bothering me? Nothing's bothering me."I force a smile on my face just as the smile on hers drops. "I'm a good listener," she insists. "Drop it." My voice is harsher than I intended it to be. She looks away, her gaze turning to the tips of her toes, but not before I see the hurt reflected in her eyes. "I thought you considered me your friend." Her voice is low, and there's a sheen of misty tears on her eyelashes. I rub the back of my neck, cursing myself inwardly. Hugging her close, I place my forefinger underneath her chin and lift it up. I see the unshed tears more clearly, and feel like a worm. "You are my friend. It's just that there are things I can't tell you right now."She doesn't say a word, but looks at me steadily. I can't hold her frank gaze without being tempted to bare my soul. "Well I suppose I can tell you some of it. I lied to my alpha so I could be with you. Don’t ask me what the lie was, I can’t share that with you. At least, not right now.”I rub
A Werewolf for the Witch #33 Lessons in Physiology
Avalea I stare into the fire, mulling over the situation we are in as I do at least a hundred times a day. There are so many emotions I'm dealing with at any given time: heartbreak over Father's death, fear over Ann's safety, my attraction for Aldrich that is rapidly turning into something more than mere attraction, and the guilt that goes almost hand in hand with the attraction. At any given point, one of the emotions typically overrides the others. Like a moment ago, my desire, my lust for Aldrich was topmost on my mind. Now, it's the guilt. However, I know there will come a time when the guilt completely fades away. Not too far away in the future, I know that my feelings for Aldrich will catch up with the lust. When that happens, no power in any of the worlds will be able to stop me from giving myself completely to Aldrich. "So Skycharts," I repeat, looking at him with a smile. "The Blood Ritual needs to be performed when both the moons are at their brightest. The brightnes
A Werewolf for the Witch #34 Skycharts and Stargazing
AldrichIn my wolf form, all my senses are hyper acute. Needless to say, Princess Avalea's caress was pure torture. I must tell her, or better still, show her just how her little touches make me feel. I feel her hand on my neck as we step out of the hut cautiously. We come to a standstill right outside the door, listening. From the rustling of leaves, the snapping of twigs, the growls and the howls in the distance, I'm able to discern with a reasonable certainty that there are at least ten Werewolves within a five-mile radius, but they're all quite far from the hut. However, to get to the hillock, we will be passing pretty close to at least two of them. I wait while Ava closes her eyes and mutters a strange-sounding incantation under her breath. I feel something incredibly soft and light wrap around us. It feels as if I'm looking at the world through a thin veil. It doesn't hamper my vision in any manner. It just feels… different. "We'll walk to the very edge of the perimeter of
