ADRIANA
“I think you’d freeze it before anything else, you’re up for breakfast?” Santiago chuckles, jumping from one ridiculous statement to one more reasonable. Maybe someone hit him hard on the head after I left, trying to knock some sense into it but knocked the remaining last bit out instead.
“I’d do what?” I ask, biting the words more than I want. He just looks at me with an amused smile on his face, leaning back against the wall. “You made the temperature drop this morning. I don’t know how or what but Ximena thinks you are a gifted wolf.”
I walk over to him, shaking my head in disbelieve. “I might be, but this sure as hell never happened before. I really made the temperature drop?” I ask, studying his face as he answers. “Yup, you made it cold enough for me to see my own breath form clouds in the air in front of me. Diego was quite impressed and so was I.” He says, his eyes amused and curious. “Wow.” Is all I mutter.
“Come on, let’s get you som

ADRIANA The realization dawns on me and goosebumps litter my skin. A breeze catches my attention, the notes of wild lavender, camomile and other herbs taking me back to the the early beginnings of my nightmares. But instead of the nightmares playing behind my eyes in broad daylight I ended up with flashes of memories of the witches’ their lives. The love they shared for a hispanic man with long hair and a short beard. A farmer they helped deliver a calf, a sickly girl they nursed back to her health for her parents , the dances they organized with the villagers. Another farmer for whom they revived his land so he could grow decent crops, the werewolf they healed after a vampires bite, the forest fire they helped to extinguish and how they where taken in by the werewolf pack once Andalusia became more hostile towards witches. The final memory leaves me with a feeling of pure bliss, the eldest of the two sisters just found out she was pregnant. The
ADRIANA His paw pushes on my back, growling he keeps me nailed to the ground. Fuck. Okay, breath in, breath out. Maybe if I calm down, he will. I try to take deep breaths, though it’s hard with his heavy paw on my back and my mind racing a million miles an hour. Teasing me with questions about him, about our mating, about that vampire that somehow gave me sparks, about my mother, about my ancestors. Everything just turns into one big shit storm, when we spend some time together. Finally I manage my breathing to relax and the storm in my head calms down. Diego is still pushing me down to the ground, his emotions finally seeping into me. Anger, frustration, confusion, laced with a hint of disbelieve and worry. “Diego, you’re hurting me. I’ve calmed down. Please lift your paw, I won’t run.” I say, my voice hoarse from the pressure on my back and the fight we just had. He sniffs my head and neck, breathing in my scent and s
SANTIAGOI walk out to the back of the house I assigned for Adriana’s family as long as they stay here. She follows me on foot and I can practically feel her eyes burning on my back, it’s cute how she says she doesn’t want me but her actions betray her every time.Though I have to say, when she gets on my nerves there is nothing cute about her. Not even to mention that she might possess magical powers, I don’t even know what to think about that. I hate everything about witches, vampires and other magical beings but she’s my mate. How could I ever hate her?My thoughts are cut short when we reach the back of the house and Rover comes running over, screaming for his sister. Tears run down his face and he pushes me out of the way before he leaps up and into her arms. Adriana catches him, covering his face in kisses.Gerard comes walking over and pulls his kids in for a hug, I hear some stumbling upstairs and a few seconds later
SANTIAGO I open up a mind link with Poté. “Poté, inform all patrolling wolves they are not allowed to let Adriana and her family off the pack grounds and come to my office.” “Yes Alpha, i’ll be there in five.” He answers instantly, though I can hear the confusion in his voice. I look around the room, shards of the coffee pot and mugs laying on the floor, pieces of bruschetta are spread all around and the tray is got stuck in the big Monstera in the corner. Great. While cursing myself that I had such an outburst, I clean up the mess I made. I check the old magic books Teresa brought and find out they are still unscathed. “Thank fuck, I think she would have poisoned us in our sleep if her precious books got harmed.” Diego chastises in the back of my mind. He lazily stretches his paws and lays down, watching me sort out the books, articles and papers on my desk. Moments later a soft knock on the door sounds before it swings open. I look up and Poté enter
ADRIANA I cut the link. I somehow missed you, goddess could it be more embarrassing, I hardly know the guy. Though I also know that somewhere there is some truth to it. I mean I had a great day but I couldn’t stop thinking about how it would be like to share it with him. He could be a real dick but when we weren’t fighting we were going really good and I liked every minute spend with him. Though that could also just be the bond’s work, pulling me to him. I don’t know, all I know is my feelings are all over the place. “What up, you’re trying to imitate a tomato or something?” Jenna chuckles, nudging my side with her elbow. Ximena looks up from her seat next to Rover, she is coloring in some drawings with him. He had her wrapped around his finger in no time. “Nah, I just said something stupid across the mind link.” I say softly and Jenna scootches closer. “Tell me.” “Okay, just don’t laugh okay. I told him I missed him today.” I mutter softly.
ADRIANA I bounce on his shoulder while he takes big steps towards the packhouse, rubbing circles with his thumb on the inside of my thigh. Sparks rush through me, making my insides mushy and my initial deviance completely forgotten. The warning dad and Ximena gave me a long lost shadow in my mind. My hands are acting on their own accord, tracing every line of the muscles on his back and when I reach the scars on his ribs a shudder rakes through his spine. “What are you doing?” He asks, his voice low and somehow vulnerable. “Some exploration.” I breath, a smirk creeping up on my face. Finally focusing on the bond I feel his emotions, longing, frustration, hurt and something a bit darker, something I can’t decipher. I’m amazed with the complex man that’s carrying me towards the packhouse, amazed by what I ignite in him, in what he ignites in me. I block out the darkness lingering in him and focus on the longing. Pull on it as I trace my fingers
TRIGGER WARNING: This chapter is rough, it contains sexual violence and if you don’t have the stomach for it I suggest you skip it for your own sanity. SANTIAGO Diego thrashing against the restraints I have on him when Alexis, Adriana’s wolf, is begging him over, wanting him near. The woman belonging to that wolf is kissing me fiercely, her lips molding against mine, tongue swirling and a hand pulls on my hair. She positions herself in such a way she flips us over easily, straddling me, looking down on me. Her eyes are blazing at me, the glow from them making it very evident Alexis is on the drivers seat with her. In the cogs of my mind a idea slips through, it’s mean, it's hurtful and heartless but it will work and it will work fast. I hand the reins to Diego and he seems surprised I give into him that easy. All I can do is smirk at my wolf. “Go ahead, but when I say stop you will obey me.” I growl at him and he dives into he
ADRIANAI wake up to a cold and empty bed, my body feels like it’s been hit by a freight train and my arms are twisted above my head. I find them cuffed on the headboard and the realization that last night was real and not a nightmare dawns on me.Hurt, shame and numbness fills me. How could he, I’m his mate, what did I do wrong? Why would he hurt me like this and why did my body like it? Tears start slipping from my eyes and I curl up again, utterly naked on the bed and silently crying. If the world could just swallow me whole and forget me, I wouldn’t be regret it if it did.I sit up when I hear heavy footsteps coming up the stairs and I feel for my wolf, I need her now, need her strength. Alexis whimpers, beat down by the events of last night, beat down that he really raped us. “I’m sorry.” Is all she can muster and she curls up, hugging the part of me that resides next to her.When I hear the doorknob twist I sit up
