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
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 51: Horn of a Unicorn
Salem carefully lifted the top of the box and Kalista sucked in a sharp breath as her eyes fell on the terrible creature within. It was a three-headed serpent, scaly skin as dark as midnight. Its glowing red eyes glared at the two women above it. Strangely its eyes locked on Kalista and it shot out of the box, fangs exposed and aiming its strike for her.In the nick of time, Salem stepped in front of Kalista and the serpent froze, baring its fangs at the witch.Everything happened so fast that Kalista only had enough time to let out a horrified gasp and flinch. She stared at the serpent over Salem's shoulder and gulped fearfully."What is that?" she whispered."The Ghidorah," Salem answered, keeping her eyes on each of the heads of the serpent. "In other languages, it is called the Kaiju. It guards the old scrolls, and only the stongest witches can tame its fury.""It almost attacked me," Kalista voiced out, taking two careful steps backwards. "It senses you as a different creature
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 52: Kalista is gone
Salem's words echoed repeatedly in Kalista's ears.We can't save Jade. He'll die.There was a loud persistent ringing in her ears and her heart felt like it would explode. When Salem tried to touch her, she swatted the witch's hand away, shaking her head in horror."You don't mean that," she whispered."Kalista...,""You don't mean that," Kalista repeated, her voice getting louder. "Jade has a quest to complete. He needs to find a way to defeat his uncle and take back Hayden.""I know all this Kalista...," Salem began to feel frustrated but Kalista didn't give her a chance to speak."You don't know anything!," she said, her voice shrill and filled with anger. "If you do, you will do all it takes to bring him back to life. You can't just give up. Jade would never give up on you if you were in his place, and if he had the slightest chance that he could save you."At a loss of words, Salem just clasped her hands together and hung her head.Her silence infuriated Kalista and she turned on
The Alpha's Dark Obsession 53: Kingdom of Nirvana
The sun was high up in the sky when Kalista slowed to a stop and collapsed beneath a large oak tree. She heaved for breath, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She had been on the run the moment the mist took her out of the village.The incident of the past few hours played back in her mind's eye. After she took the rune from Salem, she then made her way to the temple first. She needed to see Jade one last time before leaving. The temple was empty when she stepped in. The witches had all left and a healing poultice was placed beside Jade's head, but Kalista knew it wouldn't heal him completely. Her heart broke all over again when she stood beside him amd gently took his hand in hers. His brows were knitted in discomfort and his breath came out faintly. "Oh Jade," she whispered, tears falling from her eyes. "This is all my fault. I wish... I wish I never told you to mark me. You wouldn't have been hurt." She sniffed and continued. "That is why I have to do this. I can't sit back,
