Devon’s POV:I rushed through the mansion, my feet almost slipping on the smooth floor, Daniel following behind. A few humans tried to intervene, servants who gave up after I knocked out one or two who were too bold to come in my way. I followed the scent of Nesta, through a dark corridor and down a dimly lit stairway and then I heard the voices and the slow but steady heart beat of my mate. She was alive, I growled and burst through the half closed door, the door banging on the wall. My eyes went straight to the pale naked body on the floor, the white marble of the room stained with red blood, I saw the torn skin at her neck, blood sticking to her pale skin, her cheeks were stained with tears and I couldn't control the snarl that ripped out of me, rage boiling my blood. "She's not dead!" Someone yelled and I looked at the man wearing the white coat, his brown eyes staring at me in fear and panic. I knew who he was. I didn't wait for him to speak again and launched myself at him, my
Nesta’s POV:Devon's fingers curled around my fisted hand and he slowly opened it to intertwine our fingers and brought it to his lips, kissing my knuckles as he breathed against my skin. "I am so sorry." He whispered in a breathless voice and I felt the self loathing and guilt of his through the bond, he felt scared at the prospect of losing me, that panic was eating away at him, he couldn't get the thought out of his mind, he thought that he would lose me just like he lost all of his family. I didn't know how I felt about the fact that I was not just a werewolf anymore and I didn't want to think about it so I decided to push it back and focus on Devon. He needed me. I made a soothing sound as I cupped his jaw in my hands, my own eyes tearing up at how much he was hurting inside."I am never going to leave you. You are my mate and my very heart beats just for you. I-I came back just for you." I told him, my voice cracking at the end as I remembered the darkness that had awaited my d
Nesta’s POV:I woke up to a cold feeling at my back as the breeze coming from the open window slid against my bare skin.I groaned and pulled up the silk sheets higher and almost jumped out of the bed when a large arm snaked around me and pulled me into a warm embrace. The fog of sleep cleared from my mind and I blushed as I remembered the events of last night. His touch was branded on my skin and I smelled like him from head to toe, anyone who saw me today would know what I had done last night. I buried my face in the pillow and snuggled into Devon, his chest pressing against my back and I felt him let out a small sigh, the masculine sound travelling through my body and I shivered. "Still cold?" He asked, his voice rough with sleep and I felt that churning at the pit of my stomach again. He rose on his hands and hovered above and I wrapped my arms around his waist instinctively, bringing him down as I kissed his brow and the soft flutter of his eyelashes against my chin made me
The world of darkness where there are deep forests, skyhigh mountains, ever flowing rivers, misty mornings and mysterious creatures is called Etherea. One of the mysterious creatures that hold the biggest part of Etherea are werewolves.The number of werewolves have been increasing over the years. They are known to be extremely dangerous, their eyes can see everything and their ears can hear everything. Their claws can tear the skin from the bones from just one swipe.When humans look at the sky, all they see is the blue heights, they don't see what lies behind. They don't see the velvet shadows of the dark realm and several others like it, just beyond the skylines.They don't know about the treaty that their ancestors had signed with the creatures of Etherea but some of them did. The ones who were descendants of the thirteen families
"You do know that he could be dead, right?” I told him as I pulled out my tranquiliser and put it on the table. I took the seat that he had offered me. Hemsworth was walking back and forth in the room. His eyes were a burning shade of green. Was he going to shift into his wolf form? It was not rare for werewolves to shift into their wolf forms when angry or agitated but Gregory Hemsworth was an experienced Alpha rank wolf and I would have to bring his rank into question if he did lose his cool."You’re going to lose it, aren’t you?"I asked him with an annoyed look on my face just to anger him more. His eyes snapped to me as if I had just insulted him.And then he growled."Okay.. you're losing it." I nodded.
The loud banging at the door woke me up and I quickly reached for my gun which I always kept under the bed. I looked around frantically as I got out of the bed and out of my room, my footsteps light as a cat's.My eyes were pinned on the front door through the darkness as I stood there in the living room and then I smelled her. I sighed long and weary as I jammed the gun in the waistband of my shorts and strolled over to open the door. I slipped the keys which I always kept under the mat into the lock and the door opened with a soft creak. "Nesta!"Louisa Rivera threw her arms around me and nearly choked me in the process, I coughed softly and tried to extract myself safely away from my sister's crushing enthusiasm. The scent of her perfume coiling around me long after she let go. She looked well. Her dark brown hair pulled back into an elegant hairstyle, her eyes twinkled with happiness. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. "Well, Daniel was visiting some pack friends and we we
I plunged into the water and tried to drag air into my lungs, trying to prepare myself for the ice cold contact but it never came. I felt as if my body was locked in a casket with no air, like I was in vacuum and floating through the darkness which rippled with flares of blue, it was like nothing I had ever seen or experienced and then it ended as abruptly as it began.I was launched into the air, a sudden flash of green and blue and my body hit the ground. I groaned and sat up, hands clutching my head. A dull thud beside me announced the arrival of my luggage. I cursed and pushed myself up. It was then that I noticed my surroundings. I was standing near a small pond of sorts which could be nothing but the portal. The rich sounds of unfamiliarity echoed around me. I had to admit that it was one hell of a gloomy forest. What have you gotten me into Hemsworth? I picked up my bags and contemplated jumping back into the portal. It was a very good idea. I groaned. If it weren't for Devo
I tried not to look at the man walking beside me. Dr. O'neil was a handsome man, I would give him that but he was cold. He seemed the type to kick someone's dog just out of spite. Since dogs were close to wolves and wolves were closer to what I was.. you could hazard a guess that I was not comfortable with him. He had hurried me to change and had dragged me along with him. He hadn't even given me a chance to eat and as if on cue my stomach growled. "You should've had something to eat before coming with me, I intend to work till midnight." He said casually. "As if I had a choice! You literally dragged me along with you!" I shot him an accusing glance. The man just scoffed and kept on walking down the corridor and I had to follow like a puppy."Before we start, Miss Holroyd, I would like for you to go under some security procedures." He warned and opened the glass doors to his lab. I hesitated as I entered. "There are a bunch of papers on the desk, please sign them and we can begin
