Lucian and Arabella A New World
Chapter 99The sound of the rock slide echoed down the canyon until it lost strength and force. Arabella stood in shock as her beloved cave was no more. In the distance she could hear the forlorn howl of Thorn and his pack. The forest itself became silent as though it were waiting for something more than it had already received, Arabella felt as though the world had stopped.The sound of a living forest returned slowly and Thorn’s pack could no longer be heard. Arabella knew it would be a shock to her system but after Ella blocked her abilities before, it showed Arabella that she could handle it. The mental agony could not be avoided but that too would fade as time went on.After the dust settled, Arabella looked around the forest and clearing where the cave once stood. Somehow, it all looked brand new. It was as though she had entered a new world. The shape and color of the leaves and pine needles on the trees took on a whole new meaning to her minds eye. They were sharper and the col
Lucian and Arabella Alone Again
Chapter 100Arabella sat in front of the cave one last time before she had to leave for the airport. She felt a great sadness when she gazed at the rubble that was once her place of peace. So much over the years was soaked into the rocks and ground. It was a place where she felt close to her mother and father. She felt a touch of loneliness when her thoughts turned toward Lucian. Too much time was lost to them. The years separated them. Adrian separated them. Arabella stood up and started the hike back to the cabin. It was time to leave.Arabella didn’t rush home. Thorn walked with her and she savored his presence. “I don’t know when I’ll be back. Jack promised to take care of the place and check up on you once in a while.” Thorn cocked his head to the side as he listened to Arabella. He understood more than people knew. He had his own large pack to take care of but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t miss the walks and talking she did with him. Over the years his pack grew to the size it wa
Lucian and Arabella Rising Sun
Chapter 101Arabella never called.Arabella lifted her head to the rising sun. She couldn’t remember how many nights she stayed up with one grieving person or another. At times, she wondered if she even helped these people. The Borders people were using her in may ways. One of them being this, midwife. Until now, she had never delivered before. She lost count of how many she had delivered. They were constantly on the move from one village to another.“You look like shit, Ari. Go, get some rest, I’ll clean up here.” Mac had been with Borders for many years and in that time he had been many things. Throwing Ari into it without her realizing the extent of their needs. It didn’t set well with Mac. Arabella was a nice and gentle woman and had a way of putting the patients at ease. Her help was greater than she realized.“It’s okay, Mac. If we both do it we can both get some rest. Don’t think I haven’t noticed you driving yourself half to death.” Arabella replied. “You push yourself too har
Lucian and Arabella Lady of Dreams
Displaced air in the room swirled gently into a mini dust tornado before falling quietly to the floor again. Lucian’s eyes opened slowly at the sound of a floorboard creaking. He turned his head slightly as his eyes roamed the room. A movement in the darkest part of his bedroom drew his groggy attention.“Who’s there? Who are you? What do you want?” He demanded. Lucian kept his gaze on the darkened corner sitting quickly up in bed. His head pounded horribly form the night before. He had tied on a good one at the bar. Maybe he was just dreaming.“How did you get in here?” Lucian was not afraid, just shocked that anyone could enter his apartment without his alarms going off.Silently, the figure glided a little closer to Lucian”s bed. HIs eyes widened as features came into view. Long black hair framed a heart-shaped face. Dark eyes rimmed in green gazed back at him. She had the figure of a goddess in a form fitting red dress. He leaned back as she drew closer.“Don’t you know me Lucian?
Lucian and Arabella Lady of Sorrow
Arabella sat quietly in the darkened bedroom. She listened to her home as it settled down for the night. The creaks and groans, old beloved friends. Here she was born so long ago. Here where her parents died. She could almost hear her mother calling to her to come to dinner or bath time before bed. A light touch on her cheek reminded her that her parents were not far away. Here was her solace, her peace and her magic.She closed her eyes and breathed in deep the crisp mountain air that flowed through her window. Pine mixed with sage tickled her senses. Her ears picked up Thorn as he went out the dog door for his nightly hunting and greeting of the pack. He was the Alpha male even though he did not spend all of his time with them. He had elders to feed, youngsters to teach, his mate to hunt with him. Crickets became silent as the big wolf passed by then picked up their night time song. The rustle of the breeze through the trees, a relaxing sound, seemed to sway with the full moon. In th
Lucian and Arabella Child of Loss
Chapter 3“Bella, where are you child? It’s time for bed. You better not be in with those pups again!” Arabella’s mother’s voice rose over the laughter coming from beneath the stairs. Maeve knew where Arabella was. The child loved to have her own secret place. Her parents never let on that they knew where she was.Quickly, Arabella pushed the wolf pups from her lap before crawling from beneath the stairs. Dusting off her play dress she answered Maeve. “I’m right here mama. Do I have to go to bed?”Maeve smiled gently at her only child, the one in her stomach weighing heavily on her hips. He wasn’t due for another three months but Maeve felt like it should be now. The doctors laughed at her when she told them she was having a boy. She knew though. Maeve always knew things that other couldn’t. She placed her hand on the small of her aching back. Slowly lowering herself to the floor Maeve laughed. Edmond would have to help her up, she was too big to help herself. She looked deeply into Ar
Lucian and Arabella Lady of Confusion
Chapter 4Arabella shook her head hard. What had just happened? One moment she was staring at Lucian, the next, she was in the past.She looked down at Lucian confused. Lucian was looking back.“Why did you make me see that? What the hell are you doing to me?” Lucian reached out to grab her arm. Shocked, Arabella turned to leave.“Wait. Stop. Please don’t go yet. If you are going to keep visiting me like this, I should at least know your name. Somehow I know you and yet I don’t.”Arabella stood still then turned to look at Lucian who was up on his elbows in the bed. The pleading in his voice was hard to refuse. The misery on his face was plain to see. Her confusion deepened. By the Gods, how was this possible?“How can you not know me Lucian. Did I mean so little to you?” She could see by his eyes that he had no idea what she was talking about. It broke her heart over and over again. She wanted to be angry. She wanted to be furious, but she could not. She realized that she really had
