Yesterday was a lot to take in. I barely had time to process any of it. After Leander told me a few things that better helped me understand, I fell asleep.
When I woke this morning, Leander was gone. I remember him climbing into bed with me and wrapping me up in his arms. I remember his chest pressed against my back and how I couldn’t force myself to mind.
I slept peacefully, my previous nightmare forgotten. Well, not forgotten exactly, but I didn’t dwell on it as I usually would.
The nightmare I had is the same one I have had for years. I didn’t understand it at all, and I still struggle with it, if I’m honest.
It’s always the same thing that I see, a faceless woman leading me out of the woods. Her arm around my waist as she
I have to admit that the fresh air out in the yard is lovely. I’m a little nervous about making my way into the forest where I was almost attacked, but needs must. I can’t go about my life with nothing to call mine. My bag doesn’t hold much, but what’s inside is mine, and I want it.I hum to myself as I walk, ignoring the fact that I have nowhere to go. I’m not sure what I’m going to do from here on in, but I do know that I’ve got cramps.Great, just what I don’t need, my damn period.‘You had your period two weeks ago, Sara.’‘Maybe it’s anxiety then?
Here I am, again watching Sara sleep.I had no idea the heat and rut would hit so hard and so soon. I left the house yesterday for a couple of hours. I wanted to pick up some things for Sara. I wanted her to have some new clothes, toiletries, and all those little things women like, such as makeup and perfume.Of course, I could have sent any number of servents to pick them up, but I wanted to do it myself. I wanted to do something nice for my mate.I’d managed to borrow something from Lilly for Sara to wear if she woke up before I returned. I left the bathroom door open so Sara could find it easily, and I told Anna to make sure Sara ate breakfast.I was gone longer than I thought I’d be, and by the time I was halfway home, the rut hit. I knew before Luther mind-linked with me that Sara would be feeling it; we’re ma
I’ve had sex more times in five days than most have in six months. Leander and I had sex all over his room. We had sex in the bathroom, in his closet, against the window, in his chair, on the desk – you get the gist.Around making love all over the place, Leander explained everything there was for me to know about Zidiah and his family.I had no idea shifters could have magical powers!Leander told me about how his mum and dad met and how his mother is half-vampire. When Leander said that, the french fry I was eating fell out of my mouth in shock.Vampires don’t exist!Thinking about it, why wouldn’t vampires exist?Werewolves do, and o
“How old are you, Sara?” Mum asks with a smile.Sara swallows the sausage she was chewing and answers Mum, “I’m eighteen, Your Majesty.”“No,” Mum shakes her head while chuckling. “Darling, you don’t need to use formal titles here. You’re my son’s mate. That makes you family, just like Bastian.”I note the nervous smile on Sara’s face.From the moment we walking into the dining room, Sara hasn’t spoken more than a handful of words to anyone.I know being surrounded by people you don’t know can be daunting. But most will interact regardless of how nervous they might be.Not that I would force Sara to talk when it’s clear she’s scared. Though I think it has more to do wit
I had to get out of there; I felt as though I was suffocating.I understand that Bastian is desperate for me to know who I am, but he scared me.Doesn’t he understand that I don’t know who I am?Bastain is a stranger to me, yet he couldn’t stop himself from yelling that he knows I’m his sister.My head was all over the place, and I just needed some peace. So when Leander jumped to his feet, I ran from the room. I did not want to stay and listen to any more of their conversation.Leander mind-linked me, but I was in no mood to talk. I need time alone to think about everything going on in my life right now.I took a walk around the grounds. I love nature and seeing how beautiful the surrounding gardens are had me smiling.
“I am so sick of telling you!” Anna snaps at me.I cower in the corner because I’m terrified she’s about to hit me again.As soon as I walked into the kitchen, Anna was on me like white on rice. She grabbed me around the throat and pinned me to the wall, choking me in anger.Jessica had mind-linked her mother and explained that I’d spoken to Princess Sara. Talking to the Royal’s is not allowed; I am a slave, and slaves should know their place.I knew that I should have walked away when Sara spoke to me. But that would have been rude, and again, I would have been in trouble.I can’t win no matter what I do.“When are you going to learn, Jenna? You’re an Omega slave, and you’re lucky that I took you in. If you co
Sara hasn’t been herself the past few days. She’s been quiet and in her head a lot.I’m not sure what to do to snap her out of it.I took her to dinner the other night, and she enjoyed herself. But something was missing in her smile.I know she has a lot on her mind with Bastian, but there’s something she’s not telling me.The worst thing is how Sara avoids me whenever she can. We share a bed, but she turns away from me, though I wrap my arm around her while we sleep.Sara sits next to me during breakfast, but she doesn’t speak to me or anyone else.And Bastian?Sara avoids him at all costs, going so far as to rush off in the other direction when she sees him coming.Bast
I pace Orrin’s office, biting the pad of my thumb and wondering what I did wrong.I know that I haven’t been much of a mate the past few days, but I didn’t mean to hurt Leander. I didn’t realise that I was being so quiet, and I sure didn’t mean to ignore his concerns.All Leander has tried to do is be there for me.He took me to dinner the other night, we watched movies together, and even went for a long walk in the forest. I didn’t say much either of those times because I didn’t know what to say.When Leander suggested that we allow our wolves to run free together, I didn’t answer him. I stared at him for a moment, then shook my head.Leander tried to explain how important it was for his wolf and mine to run together. They needed to bond and even mate t
