The Alpha's Dark Obsession 37: Another truth revealed
"Something troubles you."Salem's voice broke into Jade's erratic thoughts. He looked up sharply, only to notice that the witch had been staring at him for a while.He sucked in a breath and ran a hand through his hair."I'm fine," he said, but Salem chuckled and shook her head."You are not fine, Jade," she said. "I asked what you wanted to talk to me about. Twice. It is pretty obvious you have a lot on your mind"Unable to hide it again, Jade let out a deep sigh."A lot has happened since I left here, Salem," he began. "Too much has occurred""Come, sit with me," Salem took his hand and led him to a smooth rock where they could sit. "Now, tell me everything"And Jade did. He narrated everything that he had experienced, from arriving at Northville to finding his mate, and discovering she wasn't a human, but a halfblood. Salem listened without interrupting him, and her expression only changed from calmness to shock and horror when Jade told her that both his parents were now dead and
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 38: We meet again
Jade felt like every moisture within him had been sucked out, leaving him feeling dry and limbless. His entire thoughts were in disarray and Salem's words continued to ring in his ears.Orion was his uncle, and yet he tried to kill Kialista. His own uncle had tried to kill his mate. It was a hard pill to swallow. It was unbelievable. If Orion was indeed his father's brother, why did his father never mention it? Why was Orion kept a secret?He raised his head and turned to the spot Salem sat, staring at her with eyes filled with betrayal and hurt."You've known this for so many years," he said in a low hoarse voice. "I told you about my entire family, and I'm sure you knew he was my uncle. Yet, you kept it a secret from me"Salem slowly stood up and clasped her hands in front of her. "I never would have kept such secret from you, Jade," she said softly. "But Orion made me swear to him, that I would never tell anyone about him. I couldn't break my vows to him"Jade knew it wasn't real
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 39: We meet again II
"We meet again, Salem. I think it's time for you to return my memories," Orion said, his eyes locked on Salem.For a long while, Jade and Salem just stood there staring at Orion, both with different expressions on their face. Jade had a look of surprise and bewilderment on his face. The last time he saw Orion was after he took the secret path to escape into the forest. Did Orion follow him after that? While Jade pondered silently, Salem was rendered speechless. Memories flooded her senses as she gazed upon Orion. Memories of their time together before he begged her to erase his own memory and before he disappeared from the village. It was too much for her to handle. After so many years, all he had to say was for her to bring back his memories? Did he only see her as a tool to use?Suddenly overwhelmed with anger, she marched up where Orion stood and slapped him hard across his face.There was a shocked silence, and Orion slowly raised his hand and touched his stinging cheek."I miss
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 40: You're never a burden
Kalista felt like she had been falling for a long time. She shut her eyes tight, waiting for her body to drop into the river beneath her but suddenly, she felt a rush of rapid air. Strong arms grabbed her, delicious sparks dancing on her body, and she felt her body collide softly with another. She didn't need to open her eyes to know that it was Jade that had saved her. The sparks of the mate bond were enough to let her know.With her eyes still shut tightly, she held on to Jade as he landed lightly on the ground, holding her close to him. She could feel his heart slamming against his chest and she opened her eyes when she felt him tremble."Jade?" she whispered, her gray eyes pinned on his.Jade took a shuddering breath and slowly lowered her to the ground, letting his hands rest on her waist when her feet touch the earth."Are you okay?" he asked softly. Without waiting for her to reply, he pulled her close and wrapped her in a warm hug. "Maybe I shouldn't let you out of my sight a
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 41: The celebration
The kiss grew heated as Jade struggled with his internal wolf. He wanted to claim her at that moment. He wanted her to bear his mark, so it would be known to every shifter that she belonged to him. He wanted to rip off her dress and claim her at that moment. But he held himself back with a herculean will. He didn't want Kalista's first time to be rushed and hurried. He didn't want to take her when she was least prepared for him. He would take it slowly with her because she deserved that and more. She was like a delicate petal that had to bloom softly and fully. Besides, he also needed to discuss the marking and mating process with her. He tried to pull away but Kalista tightened her arms around his neck and pressed her softness against him. Jade groaned low in his throat and broke the kiss for a few seconds."My love," his voice sounded hoarse, raw with need. "Slow down...""Oh Jade," Kalista whispered against his lips, her body feeling like it was on fire. Jade had kissed her befor
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 42: The celebration II
Jade shut the door and immediately took Kalista into his arms again."That was just Mary," he said to her. "Her mother wants to host a celebration at night."Kalista knew because she had overheard everything, but all the pleasure she felt a moment ago had disappeared with Mary's unexpected presence. She hooked her arms around Jade's neck and stared into his eyes."What's wrong?" Jade asked when she just stared at him in silence.Kalista let out a deep sigh before she spoke what was bothering her."I know Mary didn't mean to push me, but I don't think her apology was heartfelt," she said softly. "Why do you say that?" Jade inquired, tracing light circles with his hands around her waist."I don't know, but for some reason, Mary doesn't like me," Kalista said and lowered her eyes. "Since the moment she discovered I'm your mate, she's been hostile towards me.""Don't pay attention to her my love," Jade assured her. "She's just jealous you're prettier than her."A pleased smile lit up Kal
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 43: The celebration III
The celebration began the moment the sun sank into the horizon. As if in agreement, a full moon slowly slipped out of the clouds, sending its silvery glow to the earth. The village slowly turned from being quiet to one of a festive mood. Lit lanterns were hung along the roof of the houses and in the trees, and under the moonlight, the lantern glistened like tiny jewels.In the middle of the village, there was a large pile of twigs and tree trunks that would be lit later as a bonfire. On one side, there were several tables filled with mouthwatering food while on the other side, there were wooden chairs meant for the elders of the village.Kalista was dressed in an elegant black dress that grazed the top of her knees. The dress contrasted prettily with her hair which spilled down her back beautifully. She stood by the door, waiting for Jade to return from where he went.Footsteps sounded close by and Kalista's face lit up in anticipation, thinking it was Jade. It wasn't him. Her expres
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 44: Tempted
The moon was high up in the sky and glowing brightly when Salem stepped into the middle of the gathering and the crowd hushed instantly. Dressed in a flowing black dress with moons amd stars adorning the hem, she looked like a goddess, with her vibrant hair trailing down her back. There was a goblet of wine in her hands and she turned to the crowd before her. The flames from the bonfire lit up her emerald eyes and they glowed like jewels."People of the Mist," she began in a clear voice. "Tonight's celebration is to honor the moon goddess who has never relented in protecting us, the supernaturals, from the dangers of the human world. Also, this celebration is to welcome Alpha Jade, and Orion back into the village, after so many years."There were murmurs of surprise and a few heads turned towards Orion and Jade who was sitting close to Kalista."Thus, let us raise a toast to them, to welcome them back to the village," Salem finished and raised the goblet she held. "To the Alphas of th
