I felt uncomfortable being back at school after what had happened last time I was here. I spent the whole morning worrying that Arthur was going to spring out from around every corner. Knowing that there was someone as powerful as him made me feel more vulnerable than I had ever felt before, even in all my years on the run as a child. I needed to find some way of making my powers stronger but that was easier said than done. I had no idea how my powers worked so I had to rely on the books my mom left for me and those books were not easy to get through. There was so much information in them and a lot of it didn’t help me right now. What I really needed was some help with my research, that way I could get through the books much faster. “Why do you look so miserable?” Charlotte asked me as she walked up behind me. “I had a terrible weekend,” I replied. I was on my way to the canteen for lunch but socialising was the last thing on my mind. I just wanted to get this day over with so tha
By the time Elijah arrived a few moments later everything was already returning to normal. Elijah ran into the room followed by his beta and a couple of his warriors. Maybe I should have been a little clearer over mindlink. He must have thought that a war had broken out to bring this many fighters. He still looked delicious in his suit but now his tie and jacket were a little dishevelled. He paused briefly as his eyes combed over the canteen until they landed on me. He ran over to me, picking me up and spun me around while showering me with kisses. Despite how serious our situation was I couldn’t hold back my giggles.“I was so worried about you. I know you are strong but the thought of you getting in a fight without me there to protect you tears me up inside.” He whispered in my ear, his breath against my neck.“I promise I was never in any danger but I am worried that Helen might never forgive us.” I replied, trying to distract myself from my own increasing arousal. I don’t know wh
Elijah pulled me off his shoulder and threw me onto our bed. He kneeled on the bed beside me and leaned over kissing me softly on my lips before telling me to stay still using his seductive, husky voice. His voice alone was enough to send tingles all the way down my spine. I loved it when he took charge like this but there was something inside me that couldn’t resist challenging him and pushing him to be even more dominant.“What would you do if I didn’t?” I asked. A small growl rumbled through his chest as he moved so he was even closer to me. He laid so his body was hovering over mine while he kissed his way along my jaw and neck, interspersing the kisses with soft nibbles with his teeth. My desire for him was increasing rapidly. I wrapped my arms around his body trying to pull him closer. I needed him desperately, I needed to feel the friction of his body against mine. “You are already in trouble for letting yourself get in the middle of that fight today. It probably isn’t a good
Training was tough. Now that Elijah knew that I was an alpha he was eager to test my fighting skills. On the walk over here I had hoped that I would get to take things a little easy. Maybe spend the session kicking Felix’s ass repeatedly but apparently I was out of luck. Elijah was a much stronger fighter than his brother, I was still stronger than he was but only by a small margin. In terms of raw strength, Elijah and I were pretty evenly matched but I was faster than him so that gave me a slight edge.After a few minutes of sparing the rest of the pack weren’t even trying to fight anymore, they were too busy watching us. I felt a little guilty for Kicking Elijah’s ass in front of part of his own pack. Not guilty enough to pull my punches though. I was born to be an alpha, both me and my wolf hated to lose. Elijah and I circled each other, looking for an opening in each other's defences. My wolf was getting impatient, she thought we could take Elijah down easily and she just wanted
“Diana,” Someone shouted. My head was fuzzy, I wasn't sure how long I had been asleep but I knew it wasn’t long enough. Mumbling under my breath, I turned away from the noise that was trying to pull me out of my sleep. A few more minutes, or hours, that was what I needed right now. “Diana, my darling,” they said. Fingers caressed my cheek, brushing my hair away from my face but there were no tingles. Whoever was touching me wasn’t my mate. My eyes shot open as I pushed myself away from the unknown person who was stroking my face. Fear gripped my body as I opened my eyes and realised that I was back in the same room from my nightmare the other night. Arthur was sitting on the bed beside me with a sickening grin on his face. Pushing with my arms and my legs, I tried to get as far away from him as I could. Once I put a little bit of distance between the two of us, I turned to jump out of the bed. That was when he grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “I brought you here so we could talk
The light was starting to fade around me but I wanted to get a few minutes more research in before dinner was ready. I had already been here for hours, so long that my muscles were starting to go numb. Elijah thought my enthusiasm for research was great at first but I think he was starting to get sick of it. had already fallen asleep at his desk. He was snoring softly with his head resting on his arm.I felt a little guilty for making him work so hard but I needed to find a way to block Arthur out of my dreams. For the first couple of days after my most recent dream I was hopeful for an easy solution but now my optimism was wavering. I had found nothing of use in these books so far.There was so much information in these books. That wasn’t the problem, the problem was finding that information. There didn’t seem to be any kind of key or system behind what each book contained. So far I had skimmed through one book on the history of my subspecies of werewolf, one diary and a book about u
Saturday was meant to be a day off and that was exactly what I had planned to do today. That was until Mark woke Elijah and I up at 7am to tell us that there was an emergency in the pack. Apparently one of the women I went to school with had been blessed with two mates. Although it was actually turning into more of a curse because her mates were rivals.Last night there had been some kind of altercation and Mark needed Elijah’s help to get the girl's mates to come to some kind of agreement. He thought that he was going to be gone for most of the day so I made myself a coffee and a bagel and took them into the office. There were still so many books for me to get through, maybe I should be grateful for the extra time.‘You keep telling yourself that, maybe you might even be able to convince yourself but you won’t fool me.’ Onyx said, laughing at me. That was because she knew how much I had been looking forward to today. Elijah was meant to be taking me out on a date and we were meant t
“What does that mean? I thought she was dead.” Ryker said, rushing over to my side. I couldn’t answer his questions, I couldn’t think clearly let alone speak. My mom was alive, she was probably being held hostage by Arthur. I don’t know why he was keeping her alive but knowing him, it couldn’t be anything good. “Where is she, why hasn’t she contacted you?” Felix asked. Why did they keep asking me questions, couldn’t they leave me alone to think? “She is near where Arthur is, I think he is holding her captive.” The more that I thought about the situation, the more it worried me. I was concerned that Arthur had never told me that he had my mom. He wanted me to be with him and he could have used my mom as leverage to get what he wanted. The fact that he hadn’t done so, made me worry that he had hurt her in some way. Onyx growled in my head, she wanted to kill Arthur already. This was just fueling her hatred even more. She was determined that we would be the ones to rip him to pieces
