Sabine
I was shocked to see my dad coming down the stairs. Never have I ever thought that my dad would learn the truth about Kade and I am surprised to see him so calm, ready to help. I know he always believed that other species lived among us. But still…“Jonah”. I heard Kade mumble.“Boss, you don’t have to worry, your a… “secret” is safe with us. We, us travelers, already helped your kind multiple times…this is our destiny, to help you maintain the balance.” Dad continued looking at Kade.“I don’t know what to say, except for Thank you,” Kade replied and dad smiled.“Tell me what you need us to do?” Dad added seriously.“Someone tried to poison us. I am not sure if she tried to kill us three or she is targeting the whole pack.” Kade replied quickly looking around at Alex and Stefan who are still shocked about my dad’s revelation.“Okay, I will let my wife know so she can search her books for any spell that could be used.” Dad said before turninSabine“Sabine, listen to me!” Ella said suddenly, grabbing my hand quickly. “No matter what She says, please don’t say anything.” I was about to ask Ella what she meant when a knock on the door, followed by a sweet female voice echoed behind me. As I turned my head to see who was the owner of the voice, Ella clenched her fists for a second forgetting that she was holding my hand. For the second time I wondered what was with her.“O, ‘Emms’… I was so worried about you… How are you doing…?” A tall slender woman approached us, pulling Ella into a hug. Emms? Why was the woman referring to Ella, Emms? I wondered, arching a brow.Ella closed her eyes and for a moment it looked like she was fighting thousands of storms inside her. For the first time since I met her, I could see the disgust spread all over her face.“Octavia,” Ella replied, faking a smile. “What brings you here?” she continued squeezing my hand making me realize that she was still holding my
Kade“Kade,” dad said, entering the office. “What are those men doing?” He asked and I closed the folder in front of me.“Good morning, to you too, father.” I said rising from the chair and went to the bar. “You want a drink?” I asked before taking the cap off and pouring scotch into a glass. “Yeah, make it double” dad answered before he sank into the sofa. “So what’s going on?” he asked again when I gave him his glass.“Nothing. Just precautionary measures” I said before gulping down half the glass content.“How can you say it’s nothing? You have humans staying in our people's houses!” He spat angrily.“I think you forgot that you are not the Alpha
KadeAs I came down the stairs I heard Octavia mocking voice. I don’t need to actually listen to the words to know that she picked on Sabine. I can feel Kieran getting restless and the need to save Sabine becomes more intense.“What an ugly dress” Octavia’s words hit my ears while I entered the Kitchen. For a person who wishes to be a Luna and treat all the people the same she sure has no filter. “She is beautiful just the way she is” Kieran mewling in my head and I wondered how come he is so obsessed with Sabine. I never heard about a wolf that is attached to a person other than his mate. In a way Octavia was right the dress Sabine was wearing was unconventional because of the colors choice, but that was Sabine. Was it strange that I agreed with Kieran? Yes she was beautiful just the way she was.A thought comes to my mind but I push it back. It can’t be possible, could it? “Octavia, what are you doing here?” I finally asked bluntly. Everytime she came
SabineI exited Kade’s office, slowly closing the door behind me. My hands are shaking and my eyes are blurry but I can’t cry. It’s not fair. I take deep breaths trying to calm down my erratic heart realizing that I don’t have any right to act like this.The image of Kade kissing Octavia made my heart ache. Seeing them together made me feel like an intruder in his life. I never considered that he might have someone, never cared about his wishes or desires, all I wanted was for him to SEE ME, to LOVE ME.I faked a smile to one of the omegas who was dusting the stairs. I could see her lips moving but I couldn't hear what she was saying. As my legs moved towards the kitchen, thousands of thoughts were spinning in my head, making me dizzy. I was about to open the door when Sasha’s words made me stop in my tracks.“Ella, I hope you know you can’t be her friend, she is not one of us.” Sasha said with so much disgust in her voice that made me gulp down the no
SabineI was surprised to see my father waiting for us at the lake, where the wagons were still parked. He had already set the fire and placed animal skins around it. It reminded me of the time when I was small and grandpa made all the kids gather around him and listen to his stories. The dancing flames lit my father’s face and I was able to see sadness present. I didn’t know what to feel or think. A part of me was mad that they didn’t tell me the truth earlier while the other had questions about who I was.“Sabine,” he whispered softly, when we approached him. “You look beautiful” his words made me smile. I think it was the first time he said something like this.“Let’s gather around the fire. We can talk while we are waiting for the meat to cook.” Dad pointed to the skewers that were already placed in the fire.“Sabine, I don’t know how to tell you this. I think that’s why we postponed this talk because I never knew how to tell you. Please forgive me ch
KadeAs I enter the dining room, my eyes are looking around the room searching for the only one person I want to see, but the chair that she usually occupies is empty. The table is already set up and my men are sitting comfortably, making small talk while they are waiting for the food to be brought by the omegas. “Kade,” Octavia’s voice makes me snap from the line of thoughts. She kisses my cheek before she passed me, heading out to the table and sitting down on the left side of my chair.“Find another seat” I spat angrily, making her flinch. I can see now all the eyes staring curiously at me.“But, Babe, I always stay by your side when I am here,” Octavia pouted, annoying me even more.“I said FIND ANOTHER SEAT” I replied accentuating the words, trying to keep my calm.All the eyes were now moving from me to Octavia, waiting to for a rebellious outburst.I see her clenching her fists while displaying a fake smile, before standing slowly and moving to the other side of the table.As I
KadeAs we approached the lake, I stopped in my tracks hearing her beautiful voice. Like a siren her song was alluring us to her. I closed my eyes listening to the beautiful song she was singing accompanied by Jonah’s harmonica.Though Kieran was quiet in my head I could feel his pull towards her, and I wondered for the nth time what was about her that made us both bewitched. I heard about wolves having a mate from a different species, but I have met mine so I knew for a fact she was a wolf so then why I was so drawn to Sabine?“Kade, are we going to shift or…what?” Sasha who joined me and Ella earlier mind linked me bringing me back from my thoughts.I look around for a moment looking for the tree where the patrol usually leaves their clothes. “Take this clothes and shift,” I said bluntly but instead of going to look for more clothes I found myself walking out of the woods straight to Sabine and her family. Like she was able to sense me, she turned her head towards me and smiled.
Sabine When the Moon reached its peak, she found me climbing inside my wagon. I wanted to forget everything that happened today and… just be alone. It might sound weird, but it felt right to get to “meet” my parents, the people who gave me life, in the only place I knew and called it “home”. As I entered the wagon I turned on the lamp before I made myself comfortable on the haystack that used to be my bed. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to steady my raging heart, before I looked at the seal that had two wolves embracing the Moon. I traced slowly with my fingers the letters engraved on the envelope “to my daughter” pushing back my tears. This was written by one of my parents…my heart ached thinking that I might never get a chance to know them. Without thinking twice I ripped the envelope seal and pulled out the letter. A gasp left my mouth when a small round shaped locket necklace fell out from the letter. The same wolves embracing the moon were carved on the front of t
