I was ashamed of myself.
God.
What had I done? Possibly I ruined all my chances of getting a royal alliance. Adrien would be mad at me, Donovan would be mad at me.
I was upset with myself.
I got carried away by my bad temper and screwed up. I knew it from the moment I left the room. I bit my nail, trying to think. If I went inside again, perhaps I could apologise and speak more calmly. I couldn't be that impulsive, not when my pack depended on me.
I received a message from my grandfather written in neat handwriting. I knew that he wrote it with magic while he tried to calm the bunch of witches who were probably asking for my head.
"Estelle, go rest somewhere. I'll let you know when everything is ready. In the meantime, I'll try to fix this. Try not to get in any more trouble, please."
I read his words several times, pr
The voice was tender and soft. Delicate and firm. I knew who it belonged to, even when I couldn't see it. I had heard it in my dreams, in my memories. I listened to her when I felt lost, as if her whispers had permeated my mind. Lily smiled at me just before doing something with her hands, allowing me to see my mother. She was wearing a long dress, the purest white. Her eyes were blue, so different from mine, yet her brown hair, her lips and her nose were the same as mine. I couldn't help running straight into her arms, crying. I was in front of my mother. Something that I always wanted and never believed was possible. Her body felt warm, full of life. I enjoyed the warmth of her and the smell of her. Her arms surrounded my body as if they wanted to keep me safe. The people were right. There were no better hugs than Mom's. "My sweet
"You'll be faced with something so hard. I regret not being helpful to you, Ellie. I would like to give you all the tools, show you the way, but even I don't know how to solve this." My mother's lament hurt in my heart, for that reason, I decided to give her some comfort. My mother had already helped me so many times that I would not be able to count them. My mother frowned, cocking his head slightly. She looked confused and fascinated in equal parts. She was so beautiful. Ineffable. So amazing. She overflowed with light, as if she were a heavenly being. And I knew that somehow she was. Reincarnation of Samantha Eleanor, the favourite daughter of the moon mother. She is also being named after her. Contrary to his brother, who was given a different name in this lifetime. She's so exceptional that even the Gods witch head down toward her. If Eleanor had wished, the whole wo
There was a general chaos. I did not know what happened, but someone seemed to drop a glass. The sound managed to provoke more nervousness and panic. "You are just a brat out of nowhere. Why would we trust you?" Sure, I knew they were going to attack me. The arrogance of these sorcerers did not allow them to see how simple it was for me to predict them. "Then, according to his logic, I need evidence that what I say is true …" They all nodded at the same time. They agreed and I was prepared for this. "Mother Luna had asked me not to say anything about our meeting, but it was necessary if we wanted to survive. Vampires were not going to get involved without the certainty that nobody from their own would be injured. They were surprisingly protective when they wanted. I should take care of my pack. I could not afford to lose anyone in this war. Fo
My knees stopped sustaining me without prior notice. I fell to the ground, feeling the pain seize every inch of my being. I cried bitterly to see the lifeless body of my mate, my twin soul, just a few steps away from me. I screamed until my throat burned, while the fire was still moving forward. On a rock, up, as if he wanted to see everything with his own eyes, I noticed that Allen Samuel smiled, proud of what he did. If only it had taken less time in the community. If I had only stayed in my home, The fire spread to us. The flames surrounded us and I couldn't care less. Somewhere in my mind, I perceived that Liam and Lily had not yet released me, who struggled to stand up and get safe. And I stayed there, on the ground. Observing the fire going in my direction. I am hoping to find myself with my mate in another life. In the few seconds I spent, I could not understand how Maggie was still al
"She left. It was impossible for her to flee, but her father…" I released him immediately without allowing him to finish the sentence. Someone would have an interesting visit. I moved the furniture with a simple movement of my hand, causing the door to open and Adrien falling to the ground. He looked at me as if he did not recognize me. I knew I was acting deranged. I knew it, but I did not care. "Come here, love. We have a visit to make." I helped him get up while I took him by the arm and made me accompany him towards the way out of the mansion. I could understand Adrien's confusion, but I appreciated that he did not mention anything about it. I saw Miguel in a corner, taking care of Ainsley that seemed restless. I greeted them in the distance, without daring to approach. Lily and Liam were helping the pack move. They ran from one side to another, taking c
Adrien did not let go. He took me on his back, walking through the forest so easily that was enviable. I always walked here and I always had to take care of my steps or I would end up kissing the wooded soil. I had assured him that I was better and that I was able to walk on my own, but he seemed happy to have me around him. Listening to his breath calmed me a bit, feeling him close to me was all I needed to go back to my self. The initial astonishment had passed and was then when I understood how easy it was to fall into the darkness. Allen Samuel had fallen by greed and I was about to fall for revenge. The hatred that lived in my heart handed an invitation to the darkness and was gladly accepted. I was lucky enough to have a mate nearby. It was a matter of minutes. A heart of light could be stained so easily, almost going unnoticed. Adrien only noticed for being my mate. He could not see the
"What I did not know is that I would end up getting involved." I could not know what she was referring to. Just then I saw a shadow move through the trees and I knew that our attackers were here. There were not too many. A group of perhaps twenty witches. All hooded, all dark and a little dark. "Hell," I whispered, I barely saw it. He also wore a hood, but he did not look so frightening. His look was ashamed, as if he fled. He was uncomfortable, trying to go unnoticed. Was he an idiot? It was impossible for him to not notice. "Estrella, what a pleasure to see you here!" Allen Samuel exclaimed, right in the centre. "Where were all the descendants of Samantha?" He looked carefully at the place. Yes, letting go of our pack was painful, but we would return when the danger ceased to be imminent. I
After the confrontation with Allen Samuel, I began to walk towards the territory that Donovan in a very kind way gave us. Lily did not stop talking about how great I was looking , while Liam commented that even him was surprised by how well I managed.I took the opportunity to ask Liam for explanations about him. He told me that he was not very good as a sorcerer, unlike Lily that overflowed with magic, but he had the great ability to teleport. He said he could not do it more than once a day, because it left him exhausted.Just as I began to get tired, I noticed Adrien was close. The travellers, as they asked me to call them, disappeared immediately without notice. I did not know why, but I did not give much attention to the matter when Adrien hugged me with a sweeping force. He filled me with kisses all over my face, making me laugh."I was so worried! Do not ever do that, Elle. Cook up everything you want, but do it by
