TelepathyOrionA girl I fell for at first sight. A fragile, helpless maiden now transformed into a strong woman. One I chose as my mate. I couldn't be more proud. She couldn't shift when everyone else could. She was ridiculed. She didn't let that deter her spirit. She eventually came out stronger.When she told me she could read my thoughts. I thought she wanted to pull a fast one on me. But she had all my thoughts bare in front of me. I have heard of the ability of telepathy. But they were rare. Some say they are a myth. But here was my mate, a telepath. But what I didn't understand is that the old Lycan book said for someone to be a telepath, one parent has to be a witch. A werewolf had to copulate with a powerful witch to have offspring with telepathic abilities.But Freya…I had to confirm something. I went to see my mother. "Mother, there's something—" I paused, trying to process my thoughts. 'There is something I must ask you." "Oh. I am all ears," she said."Do telepaths
The BirthMarkFreyaI couldn't keep it from him any longer. I had to tell him what was coming. Our little excitement and reunion could be ruined at any moment. He needed to know.Orion seemed not to care about what the future held for him as regards finding his real family. He wasn't affected by anything I said. I was unable to prove if my speculations were true. Could Kane and Orion be related?I walked in on Orion without his clothes on. I apologize for the intrusion. Since coming here. I and Orion haven't been intimate. I haven't gotten the chance to glimpse his body.He laughed and pulled me back into the room to kiss me. He told me I wasn't supposed to apologize because I was his wife and mate. That's when I saw it. The Birthmark. Just like on Xandra and Alex and also Kane.My hand touched the mark. My fingers moved around it without saying a word. I was only asking questions in my head. What if they were related?"You have never seen this?" he asked. "Yes, I have never no
~Rogues on the Chase~OrionI went after her. She was determined to save the humans. "Freya. Wait! You shouldn't. This is a human community. We can't expose ourselves without caution," I said."So you want us to hide away? Maybe I would have done that months ago when I was still weak. I would have looked away." She stopped walking and turned to look at me. "But not now. I can't watch them get killed by rogues. You know we can stop them. It's easy for you.""It's none of our business. We came to Modan to lay low." He crossed his arms. "They are rogues." I laughed low in my throat. "You believe that. You are a Lycan fit crying out loud! Those rogues have got nothing on you. You are just adamant." She continued to walk. I had no choice but to follow her. She was right. I am not the Orion she knew. The one in her past. Betrayal has changed me, waking up one morning to realize the life I am living is all a lie. I had no family to call my own apart from my adoptive mother. Finally, when
A Lycan's TemperFreyaOrion released me to go confront the rogues. If he hadn't held me back in time, I would have been there challenging the now-dead rogue leader. Orion handled the matter like he was still Alpha, the authority that radiated from him when he was speaking was amazing. I could feel the rogues getting intimidated. He had asked me to see what I could find in their thoughts. I was surprised too, when I heard them ask for Orion. Who would be looking for Orion? It has to be his enemies. Orion's friends and family are here with him. So whoever is looking for Orion, is someone who doesn't mean well. I did as he asked. It was Damian! I knew he would find out Orion was alive. It was just a matter of time. He had read to me for a long time without me being aware. His finding out was inevitable. But he never mentioned it to Kane. I knew. He never did. He wouldn't want him to know. I wanted to learn how to fully use my ability too. Damian could block me when he wanted. He
Invited by His LordshipOrionIt wouldn't pay to be stubborn or get into a disagreement with his Lordship. I wasn't thinking for myself now. I have family and friends to protect. If I messed up, they could take a share in the blame too. Lord Samuel knew better not to provoke me. I have heard rumours about the new Lord. I didn't know he would be that young. I was imagining a much older man, as the former Lord was old. He was a friend of Sir Franklin. Sir Franklin was way older but the werewolf gene made us not deteriorate like the humans. Although, unlike the vampires who do not age, we do, but much slower than humans. I agreed to follow him to his Fort for drinks. I planned to tell him why I was here and ensure that he had nothing to worry about. I dragged Freya with me. Allowing her to go home all by herself was not what I wanted even though she insisted. I told her she was coming with me. After discussing with him for a while. He seemed not to be bad, although he was naive when
Hidden secretsFreyaI was in that phase in my life where I would rather go through hell than allow anything to happen to my kids. I didn't want to hear the twin getting a fever or talk more about having a convulsion. When I hear things like that it reminds me of the curse. What mother would like to hear that? I didn't wait for Lyra to finish what she was saying before I ran out. The last fever they had almost gave me a heart attack. I had already concluded that the curse had taken its effect. Nyx helped me heal them. The same woman who placed the curse on their father. Little does she know she was treating the babies of a man she has set out to destroy. I wonder how she was faring in Wolfshade Town. The last time I saw her was when I was seized and tortured. She had silently left. We were already getting used to each other's company. The only person I miss in Wolfshade town is Lauren. She was in love with the devil and she had no idea yet. "Where is Alex?" I asked Brad who was
Journey back to Moonstone HavenOrionFreya was right. We were wasting time in revealing secrets that would not help us. Although it was a huge surprise to find out that Kane's mother was kept hidden away in secret all these years. My mother had once told me the Luna of Wolfshade town was a witch. It is the reason why a few witches were given safe haven in the town. The Luna knew the pain her kind was facing then. It has been over one week now but Alex was still down with a high temperature. His convulsions were worse. He wasn't eating well. He had lost a lot of weight. We called two healers, one from outside Modan. Sir Franklin helped us find him. He said what was wrong with Alex was beyond the physical and more of the supernatural. The second healer made matters worse by saying we had little time to save Alex. I disagreed with that remark, got mad and kicked him out of the house. What was on my mind was how to break this curse. Whatever it takes. But we were lost as to where to b
The SnitchFreyaDeep inside me. I wished all this was just a dream. I never left Alex's side. I kept on taking my hands to feel his pulse. I was paranoid, it felt to me as if Alex would stop breathing if I looked away. Xandra continued to play, I was expecting she would also come down with the fever just like it happened last time in Wolfshade town. But she was holding up strong. I hoped that Orion would be lucky enough to meet my father and ask the necessary questions. Orion's question came to me as a surprise too. The only thing I knew about my ability was what I heard from Damian and that was about how our kind were rare and how I should keep my ability a secret. That sneaky bastard! Not knowing that he was planning to get rid of me when the perfect time came. "You need to be strong for them. You haven't eaten throughout today," Orion's mother said with a forced smile. "I don't have the appetite," I said."You need to try. Xandra needs you at your strongest. Don't let her fe
