RHEA By midnight, I awoke only to find that Jaden was no longer lying in bed, beside me. He was standing by the window gazing at the moon. I stared at him for a moment. Then, I got out of bed and embraced him from behind, taking a deep breath. "Still can't sleep?" I asked."I had a dream. When I woke up, I couldn't go back to sleep" he replied."Want to talk about it?" I asked and he let out a sigh. He turned to look at me, the moonlight highlighting his handsome features. "In the dream, I saw your aunt. She was preparing an army of witches against you" he said and I frowned. "That's strange. If she wants to attack me, why wait until now?" I said and he shrugged."Maybe, she was waiting for the right time to strike."I wondered what it was that made it seem like it was the right time to strike. Jaden's dream might be an ordinary one, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that a storm was approaching. Jaden gave my hand a gentle squeeze."I'm still with you and I'll always be

RHEA Was Thalia bidding her time? This was what I kept asking myself because she still hadn't struck even two weeks after I'd narrowly escaped tragedy. I got my answer on the third day of the third week. Jaden became so busy with pack business and he barely had time for me any longer. Maybe, I was overreacting. After all, I had a knack for exaggeration.I was sitting with Darryl and Chase on a couch. We were having a random conversation. Initially, it had been just me and Darryl. Chase joined us, later. We were both teasing Darryl because of how whipped he was. He was genuinely fond of Rain, his soulmate. A frown creased Chase's forehead as he rose to his feet, all of a sudden. He sniffed, a frown still etched onto his face."Chase, what's wrong?" I asked as he started to move towards the door. Using his eyes, he urged me to keep silent. Darryl and I rose to our feet, tensed. If there was an intruder there, we had to be careful.As soon as Chase took hold of the door knob and jer

RHEA Four months had passed since I found out that I was pregnant and within these four months, I started to have more nightmares. The visions were no longer coming. My stomach was increasing in size too quickly. Haru told me it was because I wasn't carrying just one child. Jaden on the other hand, seemed to be avoiding me. Each time he was in rut, he made sure to steer clear of me. I wanted to believe that he was doing so, in order to make sure he doesn't hurt me or our pups. But, I suspected that there was more to it. "Have you seen Jaden today?" I asked Klaus on my way to Jaden's office. "He's in his office. He cancelled all the meetings he was supposed to have today. I think it's odd" he said and I frowned.I walked into Jaden's office and closed the door behind me. Jaden was sitting on his chair, his head resting on his desk. He looked pale and had dark circles under his eyes. Worried, I made my way towards him. Once I got to him, I placed a hand on his face. He was burni

RHEA Goosebumps invaded my skin as the cold air made contact with my skin and ruffled my hair. The moon was at it's finest tonight. It seemed larger than usual, it's glow magical. I was sitting on the bench by the field, getting ready to trace my mate. I could feel his essence, I could feel the conflict going on within him. Taking a deep, cleansing breath, I mentally reached out for him. I closed my eyes, letting my magic flow through me like a river. Then, I muttered the spell. I repeated the spell thrice. With my eyes still closed, I felt a tug deep within me. I rose to my feet, and when I opened my eyes, I felt like I'd just been enlightened. "Did it work?" Darryl asked me. He'd been waiting anxiously by my side for the past few minutes. "I know where he is" I breathed and Klaus exhaled sharply. "Okay. We'll go with you" he said and I nodded. As we started to leave, Klaus said, "You have to be careful, Rhea. You're pregnant as well. Jaden wouldn't want anything to happen t

ZADEN She was paler than usual. No, scratch that, she looked like death. Her breathing was laboured and her injury wouldn't stop bleeding. We hadn't bonded as mates, but I could feel her pain. She was dying, I could feel it. For the past one hour, she had been silent. I pressed my shirt to her wound, clenching my jaw when she let out a small whimper. At this point, she looked small... broken. I had never seen her in such a state. Maybe that's why it hit me hard."Rhea did this to you, didn't she?" I said and she exhaled shakily. "I let her catch me off guard" she croaked, opening her eyes."Why would you do that? You know she's dangerous" I said and Thalia rolled her eyes, even in such a pitiful state."It's a mistake I regret. I can't wait to get my claws on her" she wheezed. "You're not healing, Thalia" I pointed out and she scowled at me. "Don't you think I know that?" She said. "You don't look so good" I told her and she chuckled painfully. "Aww, look at you... concerne
