Destined Journey Going back
Darius wandered through the empty room, the bed untouched like the day John had entered. John's once-familiar scent, a comforting blend of warmth and familiarity, had dissipated, leaving the room smelling of furniture and lingering dust.Despite numerous returns, each visit emphasized the harsh reality of John's absence. The T-shirt Darius had lent him lay abandoned in the adjacent bathroom, devoid of any lingering scent, and the room echoed with a silent void.Darius's bear, frustrated with the futility of the search within the enclosed space, guided him back to where they first encountered John. Yet even there, John's presence had entirely vanished.Leaning against the closed bedroom door, Darius, eyes closed, grappled with the inherent struggles of his failure; to date, they hadn't located John. Although they knew he had escaped Lex’s men, neither Michael nor Fez had found any trace of him. The Alpha bear clutched at his shirt just above his heart, questioning how he could have been
Destined Journey John and Jasper
Prius’ head shot to the side in surprise, leaving him breathless as he gazed at the man standing before him. 'Jasper!' he shouted, momentarily forgetting about Luke as he swiftly moved to grab John, pulling him into a tight hug.Pushing the young man back to ensure it was really him, Prius exclaimed, 'We searched far and wide for you. Come.' He turned around, starting to pull John along.'Hold on a sec,' Carla interjected, placing a hand on her brother's chest. 'Not so fast. What's the meaning of all this, brother? And why did you just call him Jasper?' she questioned.'Oh, Carla, I don’t have time for this. We have to go see Darius. It is important,' Prius insisted, continuing to step around his sister and pulling John with him. 'We'll explain everything once we're in his office.'John suddenly pulled his hand away from Prius' grip, noticing Luke's pained expression at Prius' actions. Observing the anguish on his friend's face, John's anger surged. "How could Prius do this to his ow
Destined Journey Heartfelt acceptance
"Looks like someone's life just got a plot twist worthy of a bestseller!" Carla snickered.Darius grunted in annoyance; his stoic expression made it clear he didn't find the comment amusing. "I'm going after him," he said abruptly, leaving the room before anyone could stop him."Well, that was awkward," Carla chuckled nervously, trying to lighten the mood. As everyone started leaving the room, Luke suggested, "I guess we should see if we can go find him," making a move toward the door. Prius, however, stopped him with a gentle touch on his arm. "Can you actually stay for a sec?" he requested, his tone serious.Carla sat back down, one leg crossing the other, and leaned back on the couch. She looked up at her brother, hearing him clear his throat. Her lips formed an 'O' as she realized she wasn't part of the stay package. Carla bounced up from the sofa. "See you later, loser," she said, waggling her brows at the Beta.As she crossed the threshold, she linked Prius. "You dare hurt him,
Destined Journey A plan
Lex leaned in, his eyes narrowing with a sinister gleam. "Where is he, Kali?" he demanded, his voice dripping with malice.Kali, with a wicked smile, leaned back in her dark chair. "In Wildwood Haven, Lex," she purred, relishing the anticipation in Lex's predatory stance. "But we need to act swiftly before the Blackmoon is fully risen. That's when his power will peak."Lex shot forward, his hand closing around the witch's neck. "How did you only find him now?" he growled, his deranged eyes shining red as his wolf came to the surface. "Have you been playing me all this time?"Kali grabbed his wrist with both hands in an attempt to get him to release her as she struggled to form words. "Just... appeared," she wheezed through.A current raised from the witch's hand shocked through Lex's arm, causing him to loosen his grip on her neck and eventually release her. He looked at the map that Kali had unrolled on the table. "You better be telling the truth," he said, a deadly warning in his
Destined Journey Mishaps and heat
Darius's thumb gently stroked his mate's cheek, his fingers resting behind his right ear. The young lynx's sobs subsided, leaving him dazed and confused. He looked up at his mate, searching for answers in his eyes."What now?" his trembling voice asked as his eyes roamed over Darius's features. Darius's breath caught in his throat as he looked at his beautiful mate seated in his arms, gazing up at him as if the Alpha held the answers to the world's mysteries.Unconsciously, Darius's thumb moved down, starting to stroke John's bottom lip as their stares remained locked. John inhaled sharply at the gentle touch. The tingling sensation mixed with internal turmoil and his mate's strong scent, causing his head to spin."I think you should speak with Sera again," Darius said suddenly, continuing the slow touch, almost like torture.John's heart raced, pounding against his ribs, as the prospect of experiencing his first kiss with his mate loomed. Heat rose at the thought, and he was sure his
Destined Journey Annie and Michael
Annie stood before the wardrobe, her cascading chestnut brown hair framing her figure with loose waves, illuminated by the soft light filtering through the window, creating a semblance of light brown highlights. Her dark brown eyes focused on the options provided by Michael and the pack for the night, contemplating what to wear as her thoughts drifted to John's situation and the emotions he must have experienced upon the sudden revelation of his true past.Observing from the doorway, Michael, with his honey-coloured hair tied in a loose ponytail, watched Annie with intent. His eyes traced the graceful movements of her lean yet muscular body, appreciating the subtle beauty she exuded. Unbeknownst to Annie, his lion instincts stirred in silent admiration for his mate, creating a subtle tension in the air, an energy waiting to be acknowledged. The lion and the human both agreed, their room and their side is where their mate belonged.As Annie deliberated over her outfit, Michael's though
Destined Journey A completed bond
Prius's distant demeanour sharply contrasted with the animated conversation from Fez. As he sat across from the tracker, the Beta's usually focused eyes wandered, fixating on some elusive thought beyond their dialogue. Leaning back, he wore a subtle smile, but his absentminded tapping fingers betrayed a sense of restlessness, a facade of interest concealing an undercurrent of distraction.Fez, looking down at his tablet once again, pointed at something. "So, you're good with this schedule, Prius? This will give everyone the chance to enjoy the party, and for the mated members, it will give a chance to... you know," he said, looking up at the Beta, noticing that the man was not listening."Prius!" He shouted, effectively catching the Beta's attention; however, his response wasn't what he expected."See you tonight," Prius stood up, excusing himself, leaving Fez's unanswered inquiry hanging in the air and leaving the tracker staring at the door, his mouth hanging wide in shock.As he wa
Destined Journey A familiar bond
John stood under the shower, feeling the warm water cascade over his head and down his body. His forehead pressed against the tiles as he yearned for the water to cleanse the turmoil of the past few hours. Seriously, had it only been a few hours? Life seemed determined to throw drama his way. Okay, he admitted, he was being a jerk. Amidst the chaos, he couldn't ignore the realization that he had found something he had longed for – a family.**FLASHBACK**Having left Darius at his house, John followed Sera back to her place. Her house exuded warmth and welcome, permeated by the delightful scents of cookies and coffee. She guided him towards a well-worn yet inviting couch, encouraging him to take a seat. Glancing around, he absorbed the room's sparse yet cozy decor and its overall welcoming atmosphere. Terracotta walls enveloped the space, converging at what appeared to be a comforting fireplace.As John was about to sit, something caught his attention. He walked over to a dresser table
