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
SabineHere I am standing in front of the mirror, barely recognizing myself. I was dressed in a white lace dress that hugged my body like a second skin, accentuating all my forms and making me look mature despite my age.Thanks to Lara, my mom's best friend, my hair was styled into a chignon. Small yellow roses were caught on the back and just a few strands were let loose. Though I didn’t consider it necessary to wear any makeup, Sasha and Ella convinced me that on such an important day, it was a Must. Seeing them so excited, I didn’t want to ruin the day so I decided to just go along and let them apply the makeup. It wasn’t much though, a little bit of purple pink eyeshadow, a touch of black eye liner, but it was enough to make my green eyes pop and make me look different. To complete the makeup, Ella chose a crimson red shade lipstick for my lips and convinced me that it was suitable for a bride and soon to be the mother of the gipsy group. If only she knew…I have to admit everyt
SabineMy heart skipped beats after beats and I don’t know what to do. I looked over at mom who was sitting next to grandma and looked just as confused as I did. “Relax, Kieran is not going to let anyone else have us” Inna’s voice booms in my head and I am confused about her words. “Who is Kieran? Why do you think he will buy us? Kade and I made a deal, remember?” I asked question after question without getting any reply. Ever since the night Kade came by the lake and asked me to pretend to be his fated mate, Inna has been quiet in my head. I tried to reach out to her several times with no success. It’s like she blocked me somehow and I don’t even why.“My friends, I am sorry for the interruption” My father’s voice brought me back from my thoughts. “It looks like the word of my daughter’s marriage spread more than I anticipated so now we have to wait a little bit longer as more people are placing their first bet” I muffled the gasp that threatened to leave my mouth. How could that
KadeKieran growls in my head and I open my eyes to realize it’s morning already. I stretched my lips exhausted pushing away the blanket. I have been working for the last couple of days building a gazebo for my ceremony with Sabine. I wanted to make this day special for her and Kieran suggested building something. Though I know she is not my mate, I somehow feel responsible for her happiness. In the time she spent here with my pack I found myself trying to learn everything I could about her and her family.The pull I feel towards her is something that I can’t explain and I am surprised that when it comes to her Kieran doesn’t say a word. He always goes along, even suggesting ways to make her happy. At the beginning, every night I continued to return to the woods and search for my mate. I didn’t want to be selfish, I knew how important it was for Kieran to find his mate, his Luna. Every morning that I returned home alone I was able to feel Kieran’s disappointment and anger towards
SabineAs we waited patiently for the ceremony to begin, the snow started slowly to fall from the dark sky. Though I have seen snow before there was something about the snowflakes dance that got me fascinated. “Beautiful, isn’t it?” Kade whispered in my ear, taking my hand and entangling our fingers.“Yes, it is,” I voiced out, closing my eyes and pretending that it was me, the one who Kade considered beautiful. Like he was able to read my thoughts, Kade placed his hand on my waist and turned me to face him gently. “I am sorry I kept you waiting,” he said, cupping my chin and forcing me to look up at him. I bit my lip looking up at those beautiful black eyes who were staring right into my soul. While I tried to look down so I could hide the blush on my cheeks, a kaleidoscope of butterflies took over my stomach feeling the warmth of his hands. I opened my mouth trying to say something but for an unknown reason nothing came out. Was I upset that he left me hanging? Yes. Was I afrai
SabineI looked at the big sandglass that sits on the central table and took a deep breath. Though we had to kiss several times tonight, I know that when the sand is gone I would have to face my fears and be alone with Kade in the bedroom, while everyone waits for us to consummate our marriage. I know Kade promised he would respect me, but at this moment I don’t trust myself around him. Every time he kisses me a kaleidoscope of butterflies flutters in my stomach making me want to become his, body and soul. Just his.“Sabine, I want you to meet someone,” Kade uttered, approaching the table, followed closely by the stranger with emerald green eyes from the auction. “This is Cameron, my annoying little brother”. He said chuckling while Cameron rolled his eyes annoyed. “The better looking brother” Cameron fought back.I looked curiously trying to find any resemblance between Kade and his brother, but despite the height, I couldn’t see any. While Kade had black raven hair with black eyes
KadeI almost choked on my saliva when Sabine mentioned my Luna. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose… My Luna…How could I explain to Sabine without sounding hyprocrite that I was actually planning to reject my mate? I never thought that I would be that guy who spends his entire life looking for “Her” my fated mate, just to find her and reject her, but truth to be told is that I like Sabine. Maybe I say that because I am hurt that my fated mate didn’t want us, that after finding out about our existence she still didn’t come forward to claim us or maybe just maybe what Kieran whispered in my ear for the last couple of weeks was true. I am in love with Sabine.I didn’t want this to happen. The Goddess knows that I never let myself feel anything for any woman before. I thought that I was saving myself for my mate but somehow Sabine managed to crush the walls around my heart making herself comfortable without even realizing or trying.“Hey”.. I said moving towards the table where Sa
CameronI was ten years old when I found out accidentally that I had a brother. I remember going to my dad’s office ignoring the omegas who wanted me to change my school clothes first. It didn’t matter what I was wearing because I knew I was going to be scolded for my poor performance. I didn’t understand why I had to study so much. I was my father's son, I was going to be the next alpha. What was the point of learning all that history and math nonsense when I was going to lead the pack?“I can’t believe you sneaked away and went to see HIM” dad's spat angrily, making my hand hang in the air.“Honey…I…” I heard my mom’s sweet voice saying.“Anna, you don’t get it do you? What do you think was going to happen if those guards managed to catch you? Do you think Marie would have been reasonable?” Dad slammed the edge of the desk making me jump. “I had to go”…mom whispered softly.“That’s not true and we both know it. You didn’t have to go. You almost got yourself killed and for what? T
