Gabriel.
My whole life changed completely when my parents died. My beloved family was destroyed, leaving me alone and in pain. The nightmares of that day haunted me every night. And it got worse as time passed. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened, blaming myself for not being strong enough to protect my parents. Or at least protect my sister.
The attack was brutal and unconscionable. We didn't even know the reason for the attack and why they destroyed everything in their path. For a moment, we were a happy and calm pack. And after that, everything was ashes, screams, pain and blood.
It was then, amid the chaos that the attack left, that my Uncle appeared. His hair was brown back then, although it was not difficult for a sorcerer to change his appearance. He looked the same as my mother, only in a male version. Maybe that's why I allowed him to get closer, maybe that's why I agreed to let him be
Gabriel."She's my sister," I replied, tired of having the same argument over and over again. "I'm not going to give up.""You're hurting yourself." He shook his head. "Many years have passed. You should focus on starting your search for your mate.""Mate?" I laughed mockingly. "I'm not interested in something like that.""Come on, Gabriel," he exasperated. "Are you going to spend the rest of your life looking for a person who may not even remember you?""Don't you remember me?" I frowned. "Why shouldn't he remember me?"He became visibly nervous. He started to sweat a little, even the magic around him went haywire for a second.Strange."I mean, if she remembered you, she'd be looking for you," he tried to justify."It does not matter. If she d
"How?" I exclaimed, incredulous.Gabriel shook his head desperately. He was the same again after Roscoe explained the full version of the legend to us. I did not understand anything of what was happening. Gabriel had mentioned that our Uncle had looked after him. Was my brother always in the hands of someone dangerous? And how could he not suspect anything?How come we have ignored this information for so long?Adrien acted very fast. I couldn't correctly process what was happening. One second he was holding my hand and the next he was grabbing Gabriel by the shirt. He even raised him a few inches off the ground. His expression was terrifying, the fury turning his face into a noticeable warning to all. I let out a little cry in surprise.His claws were growing with great speed. Even his fangs gleamed as he growled at him. Gabriel was scared and could understand it. Alphas were terrifyin
"Easy, Ainsley," I murmured in her ear. "Everything is fine, you are safe now." "I put you in danger!" she mourned. "Seeing him attack you was so maddening. I wanted to help you, I wanted to be the one to send you away." "I don't even fully understand how we are here." "He did it," she tried to explain. "He saw the earthquake he was causing and sent us to safety." "I don't understand," Adrien chimed in. Gabriel kept his head down and quiet throughout the conversation. While Adrien stood with his arms crossed and his brow furrowed. I was supposed to talk to my brother, but now I was focused on Ainsley. "What do you mean?" "It's a bit of a human explanation, I don't know how to explain this to you. Let's say there are two people in his body, one of them is Allen Samuel, the evil being who
I continued with my shower after Adrien left. I took advantage of my privacy to finish healing everything that hurt with magic, although magic had a limit to what it could do.I wasn't immune from getting hurt just from being a hybrid.I couldn't get the image of Heath Dominique or Allen Samuel or whatever his name was out of my head. Every time I closed his eyes, I saw the fire consuming him and his screams that's filled with wailing. I had been brave and firm, but inside I was still shaking.I took a deep breath feeling the water run through me.Ainsley was related to that witcher. If he died, then she…I shook my head, trying not to follow that course of my thoughts. I was delusional to think that I was done with him, but that was before I realised that not only the future of the pack could be at stake, but also the life of my best friend.I w
I flushed with embarrassment. Yes, I might have asked something stupid, but I was really curious. "Sorry." He wiped away a tiny tear that was escaping his eye. "It's just that I imagined my son being a moon and I couldn't stop laughing. That's what wedding rings are for, dear Estelle. You will be the moon of your pack and originally its Alpha. However, Adrien will also be the Alpha. Do you get it? Let's say you will have the same position. A complement." "Is the reason why my pack failed to advance because I was here?" I asked, feeling that I had let them down. "Yes," he agreed with pity in his eyes. "They were doomed for a while, but they'll be fine. They will arrive in a couple of days. They have been delayed by some internal fights, from what I heard, but everything is resolved." "And what am I supposed to do?" "To be the best moon ever." He put his hand on my
Adrien. Watching Estelle writhe in pain and being unable to do anything was exasperating. I could feel my hands shaking and my wolf fighting for control, trying on his own to heal her. I knew it wasn't possible, that there was nothing I could do. And that only made it worse. Helplessness was eating at me, threatening to break me down. But I couldn't allow it. Someone had to take care of Estelle and that someone would be me, even though seeing her face flushed with pain, her clenched hands and the tears she shed was something that burned me inside. I stayed next to her, snuggling her against my chest. Seeing the person you love suffer and not being able to remedy it could be considered one of the most serious tortures. What was happening to her? I didn't know how to feel when she closed her eyes, falling into unconsciousness. I was between relieved
Adrien. I had to distract him. If there was one thing I knew about magic, it was that it couldn't be used continuously. If we managed to keep him distracted, then he wouldn't have time to attack anyone. And maybe Estelle would find a way to defend herself, to fight to regain control of her body. "It's Estrella." He cocked his head, confused. "Estelle is dead, so she must be Estrella." "Estelle survived," Gabriel exclaimed. "And you are attacking her!" "It's not true, I killed her." He smiled wickedly. "She was so little when I got her. She wasn't as far from the pack as you thought, Gabriel. She was just unlucky enough to run into me." "What did you do to him?" I played along. "I erased all the memories of her!" He laughed as if she had told the best joke in the world. "She was crying
Gabriel left. I knew it from the first moment I was myself again. I knew it with the same certainty that I knew we were in big trouble. We didn't even have time to process everything that had happened. As soon as I regained mobility in my body, Adrien started barking orders left and right. The problem when facing witches is that magic could defend them and they can attack us without even flinching. For that reason, we had to be much more vigilant. The werewolves were strong and fast, but we were no match for the warlocks. I thought I could create a barrier, but without my brother, it was impossible. I did not have enough knowledge of magic. I could believe I could put up a barrier, but a simple snap from Gabriel could make it disappear completely. No, without my brother I could never do it. Everything was chaos from then on. People were running desperately, trying to buy a litt
