“I should call Lucy back” I loved to stand up but I stopped him“No. Let them sleep. You should get some sleep to” I told him.“How could I sleep when you’re this sick?” He stood up with the damp towel and came back with it again. He continued to press the damp towel all over me throughout the night.“What’s the time?” I asked when I noticed the atmosphere getting bright.“Uhhh_ 7” He answered.“Thank you for staying with me” i thanked him.“Anytime love. Are you hungry?” He asked.“I don’t think I can eat anything but I do feel really dirty” I confessed. “Let me help you clean up” He stood up taking some time to stretch before pulling me to a sitting position.“Tell me if I'm doing anything to hurt you more” He removed my tank top slowly to avoid it from touching the shoulder. He proceeded to remove my shorts.“Let me run the bath.” with that Lucian left leaving me naked under the duvet. He came back ten minutes later.Lucian carried me gently as we went Into the bathroom. He droppe
After our big meal of deer soup and bread we gathered outside the motel because a room was too small for us to stay in together.“What’s the plan when we get back home?” Henrietta asked. “We haven’t even called your parents that we are coming back yet” Lucy added. “I’ll call them tonight” Lucian said. “Good. Now back to the issue of the heirloom” Henrietta started again. “As for the dragons we need more time to figure it out. But for the witches it should be with the most ancient witch coven” Jack said.We all made reason with his assumptions. It was definitely the only reasonable thing we could come up with. “With that being said. Which coven is the oldest?” I asked. “It should me my mother’s. She also told me about how old our coven was. It even irritated my dad a lot. “You have any idea where it is or who the heirloom might be with?” Jack asked. She nodded her head left to right. “My mother never disclosed those type of information because I wasn’t old enough and she died b
CHAPTER SEVENTY THREEI felt air loss in my lungs. Struggling to breath I jumped awake. The room was dark. I touched the bed only to find out that Lucian is not beside me. A shadow was standing across me. I struggled to get my brain working to cast a spell. I murmured the spell Lucy thought me to use whenever I am in trouble and I don’t know how powerful my attacker is.“Shit!” The very familiar shouted. Their hands dropping on to their side. I used this chance to run to the door. Before I could open it I was dragged back. My back hitting the ground. I felt a bone crack. Nothing that won’t heal now.I held out my hand and used a spell to make only the hand of my attacker to burn. That seems to be their power source. I switched on the light with my second hand only to find Henrietta on the floor.“What the hell Henrietta? Were you trying to kill me?” I screamed at her.“What is happening here?” Lucian barged into the room. His face looking all healed.“You’re hurting her” Lucian pushed
"Get out!" Alpha Aiden yelled at me and I jerked in shock at the tone of his voice and nodded vigorously, dropping to my knees and picking the pieces of broken plates that lay discarded on the floor.I felt a hand soap against my shoulder and I stopped, I didn't have to look up to know who was behind me. Taryn was the only daughter of the Alpha. And despite her being one of our best warriors, she had a terrible personality and I was the least of her fans.My eyes glittered with unshed tears and I rose to my feet with the broken plates and food particles and scrambled out of the room, not sparing a glance at either of them.On getting to the kitchen, I threw away the broken glasses, took out a mop and went back to the sitting room to clean the rest of the mess.When I was done, I walked back to the kitchen, sighing in relief that Taryn hadn't said anything else."You're bleeding!" A voice sounded from behind me and I turned to se
I give Magan a reassuring look. I wasn't sure any of us would be ok if either of us left. What if I got somewhere worse than this. I was already used to the eight years of abuse this pack had to offer.My heart thumped loudly in my chest and for a second I felt fear, fear of being treated worse. How long could I endure before I gave up.I felt Megan take my hand in hers, squeezing it reassuringly and I did the same. In our own weird way, we loved each other and I didn't want any harm to come to her. I drew my hand away from hers, the fear of attachment filled me up and I didn't want to explain to her that I was scared of leaving her, or her me.I saw Logan walk into the room, and stood in front of us. He snapped his fingers and huge lights filled the room. Standing before us were Alphas of different packs, or important rich men. I noticed a few of them glancing my way and I shuddered in disgust at being displayed like a piece of clothing in the store
I groaned, rolled on the bed for a minute before sitting up wishing I was already asleep before Taryn called, that way I couldn't hear her nor respond.It was another minute before I rose from the bed and left the room to the empty hallway in search of her. I finally found her at the end of the third corridor that overlooked the pack outside.Taryn wore a black long sleeve turtle neck with a gothic skirt and high boots that added to her height. Her black hair was cut short to her chin and dark eyes glared hatefully at me."Alpha Lucian just came in and I want you to serve him." She orders and I refrain from rolling my eyes at her. Was that why she had called me? There were other slaves in the kitchen!"I mean now!" She screamed at me when I didn't move, I flinched, bowing down before leaving the hallway to the kitchen, suddenly wishing I could feel more of the setting sun on my skin.I quickly made rice with roasted chicken. It
Pain lacerated through me as Alpha Lucian's teeth sank into my neck and I let out a painful scream. It hurt so badly and I tried to pull away, but he held me tighter until I could barely move an inch."Please stop!" I screamed as tears filled my eyes and I clenched my fist in pain. I felt him release a liquid into my skin. The marking. He had marked me as his."Please stop!"I cried harder at the pain that travelled through my body and even he pulled away licking the wound. He pulled my face to meet his eyes and guilt sat in those bright green eyes."It's over. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that." He said and I staggered backwards, leaving his embrace and suddenly wishing I could go back in his arms. But I was too scared, fear blinded my vision and I reached for my neck, the wound had mostly healed but I knew there was a mark there.I looked up at the Alpha. "Don't come near me, please." I whispered fearfully and I noticed s
THREE MONTHS LATER"You missed a spot!" Taryn yelled at me as I mopped the floor. I sigh tiredly, going back to wipe down the spot I missed. She smiled victoriously and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.I finished cleaning and bowed respectfully at her as I started to leave the hallway when a voice stopped me in my tracks."Rain." Wren called out and I sighed, turning to him."How are you?" He asked and I frowned."I don't know. I don't think I can go through another heat alone again." I told him. Over the past three months, I couldn't say Wren and I were friends again but at least now we tolerated each other.I noticed his eyes soften as he reached for me."Don't look at me like that." I complained."How?" He asks innocently and I sighed, dropping down on one of the stools in the hallway, looking outside the pack wishing I was out there, running in my wolf and feeling the cold wind in my face
