XAVIERHer scent was faint, hopefully it’s enough to follow. Goddess let it be enough. Following the scent to a hallway; it was faint yet again. Picking up another scent as well, “Tristen?”Honestly, I don’t care enough to find him at the moment, I won’t let her escape this time. I mind linked Skylar so he can track him. I don’t care that Adriel took over again, he’s on his own tonight.Going back to my original path it led me to the elevator. Stepping onto the lift her scent ravaged my senses. Her aroma so powerful has me leaning against the wall drunk on it, ignoring the voice asking me what floor I wanted. The doors shut on their own, taking me to each floor until finally the scent flowed into the elevator bringing my attention to the level I was on.“Shit” I mumbled as Beta Owen and my eyes connected. Not willing to let this chance pass me by, I stepped off the elevator into the sea of pack members partying in their hallway, my eyes never leaving his. Beta Owen is Alpha Terrance s
XAVIERI need to talk to Tristen; we have to do something. If I have to smuggle her onto shadow moon territory I will. I’ve waited this long for a mate, and I be damned if I allow anyone to stop me from having her. I kept holding Maya like she could slip away from me. Owen made steps towards us, I growled loudly at him stopping him in his tracks.“I’m not trying anything Xavier, Let me explain. Her as well as your mate are the daughters of Alpha Terrance” he said pointing to the both of them.No. “Your Jae’s sisters?” I asked, shocked.“Yes, can’t you see the resemblance. We may have different mothers, but we all share the same genes from that Goddess forsaking man” Mia says with hate. I never knew Jaela had sisters. Now that I think about it, they all share some features. I mean Maya and Mia almost look identical.“How did I not know?” I whispered to myself.“Because we are fathers best kept secret, We spent most of our time with our mother. He never let us attend events like these.
MAYA I woke wrapped in warm arms almost forgetting what happened last night. who knew I would find my mate. Well, I knew it could be a possibility, although I didn’t have high hopes. Delighted is an understatement of how I’m feeling at the moment. Admiring the man wrapped around me. I lightly grazed his face, running my fingers across his chocolate skin over his pink lips. My digit lingering on his bottom lip, his goatee tickling my palm. Lost in his handsome features, I yelped as his teeth nipped my thumb. His sleepy eyes landing on me, his chuckle rumbled in his chest. I turned away embarrassed he caught me ogling him while he was asleep. Feeling like I was caught doing something I was supposed to. He grasped my chin in his fingertips turning my head back to him. Lifting my chin so my eyes could connect with his. I looked away again. “Don’t do that” his gruff voice said. “What?” “Don’t not look at me” he said sounding a bit hurt. I looked up at him, his green eye’s boring into m
SAMERIDead eyes reflected back at her from the mirror. Years of loss portrayed on her lifeless face. Her once youthful features replaced with resentment, loss and revenge. Never did she fathom her life would end up this way. The loss of her children, years of searching, subjects she had to torture or kill to find answers.Hope was all she held onto, even though that was a dull shimmer now. Sameri knew her children would be immortal, so she clung to that fact for dear life. Knowing one day if she did find them, the time they lost could be salvaged. Sameri was thankful to the high priest taking her virtue only because he gave her long lived children. Her being grateful for him left a sour taste in her mouth. He caused her nothing but pain her entire life by taking the only two people that meant the most to her.A smile formed on her lips. Remembering how she finally caught him and took his life. His traitorous head still sits on the spiked wall for everyone to see. Sadness crept back i
SAMERI“High Priestess” the servant greeted as she entered the dining hall. A long table sat in the middle of the room easily seated about fifty people. It was lined with gold and red runners from top to bottom, formal plate settings sat in front of each chair. Tapestries hung from the walls, gold light structures lighted the room. Anyone would love to dine in a setting so beautiful. To Sameri it felt lonely, even with those she dines with and the constant bustle of servants. They didn’t know her, not in the way it mattered.She held her head high, though her longing raged within her. Sameri acknowledged him with a simple nod of the head. She walked by him to sit on the throne-like chair he pulled out for her. Everyone in the room kept their heads bowed. Each of them showing her respect no matter what, out of respect, fear, love even hate. Those that hated her knew not to challenge her, it would lead to their untimely deaths.“Sit” she commanded. All of them took their seats, keeping
JAELAAwoken by Mia’s loud cackling, I rose from the comfortable bed with a loud yawn. My sweet dreams wanted me to stay and reminisce on the intimate time Tristan and I had. It felt so good being with him last night, but my mind knows it cannot be wrapped up in the wrong thoughts of it. I’d love to make it work with us; however, we know that would never happen. Ayana purrs thinking about our mate, or ex mate. She longs for him in the best and worse ways. “Maya is being a prude right now; she won’t give X any” Mia yells through the door. “Shut up Mia, everyone isn’t a slut like you” Maya retorted.Teenagers, they are such teenagers, I said to myself. Opening my room door, swinging it open frowning at my sisters. “What the hell are you two arguing about, honestly I’m just trying to sleep” I yelled at them both.“Girl please we know what you were in there doing. Thinking about Tristan punk ass” Mia said as Xavier growled lowly at her. Her eyes snapped in his direction “What? Did I say s
JAELAI forced myself away from Tristen. Dressing quickly, I sat on the stairs putting my head in my hands. ‘What have you done Aiyana. Do you have any idea what you just did’ I asked her ‘It’s what needed to happen, and I will not apologize for it’?An Abundance of emotion rushed through me, Happiness, desire, anger, love, disbelief flooded me. They weren’t my feelings but Tristen’s, ashamed I looked in his direction. He stood against the wall a few feet away from me deep in thought. His emotions are playing a reel on his handsome face.I didn’t know what to say, let alone how to face him.“I’m sorry Tristen, I didn’t know she would do that” tears fell from my eyes. He didn’t say anything for a few moments, still processing what happened. He touched the tender spot between his neck and shoulder, it was already beginning to heal. I could see the intricate design of the mark forming on him.He sighed before sitting next to me on the staircase. Silence engulfed us, our thoughts running
JAELA I stood abruptly, putting distance between us startling him at my sudden movement. Pacing back in forth in front of him like a madwoman. Mumbling to myself. I didn’t know how close he was until his hands landed on my shoulders. shrugging off his touch, taking a step back. Rejection surged in my chest; his once happy face marred with hurt. “Jaela, I’m the one who received a mark here, why are you acting as if the shoe was on the other foot.” I stopped in my tracks and glared at him. “So much for it not being my fault right, clearly you do blame me” I spat at him. “Omg Jae, nobody is blaming you, but you’re treating me like I’m the one who marked you. I don’t care that it happened, it was always going to be you anyway Jaela. Now stop it and come here” he beckoned me, opening his arms. His tone leaves no room for argument. Like a child I wrapped my arms around myself tightly. Being scolded by Tristen was not on my list of things to do today. Am I overreacting though? we both kn
