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
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 45: Tempted II
"I want you to make love to me, Alpha Jade," Mary whispered huskily.The expression on Jade's face didn't change. There was a slight raise in his brows, a flicker of surprise, and even when his eyes traveled down Mary's naked body, there was still to change in his expression. Slowly his eyes moved upwards until he was staring at her."Mary, put on your clothes," he said finally in a low voice. Mary was caught off guard when Jade asked her to put on her dress. She didn't know what she had been expecting him to say but it certainly wasn't that. The look of surprise on her face disappeared and she took a seductive step forward, batting her lashes dreaming."I know what you're thinking, Alpha Jade," she began in a husky voice. "Why would I do something like this when I know very well you have a mate? The truth is, I don't care if you have a mate. I've been in love with you for so long. I fell head over heels the first time I saw you, and I haven't been able to kill those feelings.""Mar
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 46: Betrayal
Kalista sat listening attentively to Orion as he talked about Athena, his lost mate and the only woman he had ever loved. It was like a romance story, one filled with love and pain. When he got to the part where he got captured by Apollo's men, there was a glimmer of tears in his eyes, and Kalista knew at that moment that there were some wounds that could never be healed. Losing Athena was something Orion would never get over and it broke her heart to see him look so sad and broken."You remind me of her so much," Orion finished and finally turned to stare at Kalista. "Which was why I was plagued with painful memories when I first saw you. You look so much like Athena that one could mistake you for her."Kalista slowly looked away. She knew Orion was in pain, but he had to face reality. There was no way she was his daughter. It just didn't add up."I never knew my real mother," she said softly. "The woman who raised me found me in the forest and took me in. So... there's no way... I'
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 47: Place your mark on me
Jade's beastly transformation happened in a matter of seconds, fueled by his anger and confusion. He had never lost control like this before, and it terrified him. In his feral state, he lashed out at Mary, slashing his claws across her face. Blood sprayed in the room as Mary cried out in pain."Help! Help me!" Mary screamed out and crawled away from the feral beast. She held her injured face in her hand, trying to chant a spell of healing in her mind. The door to the room burst open once more and several witches rushed in, alarmed at the sound of Mary's screams. The sight of Jade in his beast form shocked them and one defiantly stepped in front of the white beast."Alpha Jade," he grounded out in a hard voice. "You have broken the law of our village. You have hurt one of our own and you will be punished! Shift back this instant!"While still in his beast form, Jade's memory suddenly returned in a flood of emotions and images. He remembered the night in vivid details, how Mary tried
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 48: A bad sign
"I want you to make love to me."Jade felt his breath catch at Kalista's whispered response. It didn't help me when she moved closer and whispered in his ear."And place your mark on me.""Kalista..." he held her waist and backed her up against a tree. His eyes glowed eeriely in the dark, desire swirling in their golden depths. "You don't know what you're talking about.""Why?" Kalista challenged him softly. "Because you've never told me about the mating process? Did you think I wouldn't find out about it?""How in Selene's name do you know about that?" Jade rasped. "I never told you for good reasons."There was no way Kalista would tell him she heard it from Mary. "What reasons, Jade?" she asked instead. "Don't you find me attractive enough?"Jade muttered a curse and grabbed both of Kalista's hands in his large palms. Swiftly, he pinned her hands above her head and leaned into her, letting her feel the heat from his body and the bulge of his arousal.At that moment, he forgot the is
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 49: He marked me
"I can't believe you did such a disgraceful thing!" Salem ranted as she glared at her daughter. They were all still in the room where the incident with Jade and Mary occured. Mary was huddled in the corner of her room, trembling from shame. The bloody claw mark on her face had been healed by the healers but a faint scar remained, smeared with dried blood. "Mother...""Silence Mary," Salem snapped. "I warned you about your obsession for Jade. I told you nothing would ever be possible between you too. Our kind can never be with the shifters, but still you didn't listen. This time you went too far, trying to separate two mates, and you will be punished!""You're one to talk, Mother." Mary shot back defiantly, her eyes flashing with a mixture of anger and shame. "You say our kind can never be with the shifters, yet you spend each day of your life obsessing over Alpha Orion!"Salem's face turned red with rage, especially when she realized that Mary was right."HOW DARE YOU!" she screamed
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 50: The Old Scrolls
Orion rushed towards where Jade lay with Kalista close behind him. "Jade!" he called out and dropped to his knees instantly. Placing one hand on Jade's neck, he went still, checking to see if he would feel a pulse. There was, but very faint. Jade's temperature was boiling hot and perspiration dotted his head, plastering his hair against his skin. His brows were knitted with discomfort and his breathing came out laboured.Kalista was sobbing quietly beside him, Jade's hand clasped lightly in hers. She began to regret asking him to mark her. "This is all my fault," she whimpered. "I... I never should have asked him to place his mark on me...""Don't blame yourself Kalista,"Orion consoled her. "Jade wouldn't want you to do that. The most important thing now is finding a way to bring out the power of the gem from him."Kalista nodded and moved back as Orion lifted Jade onto his shoulders. She followed closely behind as Orion made his way out of the forest, all the while praying to the
