He turned his face and kissed the palm of my hand.“You were crying again” he said, like I hadn’t already known that.“Well, pregnant ladies cry, Mighty Alpha” I quipped and turned to face him with a smirk. He didn’t answer me right away, just gazed down at me.“You sure you’re alright?” he asked more gently. He cupped my cheek, and I leaned into his touch.“I’m fine. Thinking of Cole and Tobias just makes me sad sometimes”. Gunner smiled sadly and ran his thumb over the corner of my mouth.“Me too” he said softly before leaning in to press a soft kiss to my waiting lips.“I love you” I said, looking up into his beautiful blue eyes.“I love you more” he smiled back.“It’s not a competition” I grumbled and pinched his pec. He laughed and rubbed at the spot.“It’s not. There’s just more of you to love” he cooed and droppe
Zelena.Grief is difficult. It’s a hard feeling to navigate. With the addition of my bouts of guilt and regret, I wasn’t sure I was ever going to find my way through it. If I’m honest, I’m still working my way through it. Every new day is different from the last. It’s strange, really. One day, I will be fine, filled with happiness and joy, enjoying my family and my life. The next, something as simple as hearing the term ‘Little One’ will set me off on hours of crying and wishing for things to be different. Grief is weird. It’s true when people say that you never actually get over the pain, you just learn to live with it. Not being alone with my pain is a huge help. Gunner and I are both working through our grief. Everyone is. Losing Cole, Tobias, and Aurora. Plus, Cleo and all the other fighters who sacrificed their lives. Those losses hit us all really hard.Even with all that loss, we’ve gained a lot as well. Thanks to Aurora, the hunters are basically extinct. A special team of Wer
Whiskey.“What’s happening to me?” I asked myself as I squeezed my arms around my body. I feel so... so empty. Empty wasn’t even the right word. Empty meant room for something else. This felt like being hollowed out and left standing.“I took your wolf” a voice came from behind me. I whirled around and stood up at the same time. Zelena stood a few steps away from me, with Gunner close at her side, his hand holding her hip protectively.“You what?” I blanched. She took my wolf, how is that possible?“I took your wolf. You’re not a Were anymore” Zelena answered immediately.The words didn’t land like an insult. They landed like a new law. My throat tightened. Not with rage. With grief, sudden and vicious, like a blade turned inward.“How do you feel, Whiskey?” Gunner asked, his voice was hard and angry. I ran my hands over my body, feeling the bumps of my scars and the strong muscles undeath my skin. I still feel the same, physically, at least. But inside, it doesn’t feel right. I’ve nev
Whiskey.I flew for her again, tackling her around the waist. We rolled and tumbled through the sky as I punched and punched at her face and body. Zelena grunted and huffed with each blow that I landed, but she didn’t scream. That alone was enough to set my anger over the edge. I pulled the power to my hands and formed Sai blades out of black ice. I stabbed at Zelena’s stomach and smirked as I felt the blade slice deep into her abdomen. She screamed in pain, which only made my smirk grow to a full smile. I pulled the blade out and stabbed again, drawing another scream from the witch. I couldn’t help myself, I twisted the blade and laughed manically. Her blood clouded in the air, suspended for half a second before the dragon hissed around it. Even her pain looked mythic. I reefed my blade back, and as I went to stab again, I was blocked. The blade evaporated in my hand, and the blue light that surrounded Zelena brightened.My body was suddenly engulfed in an air-constricting hold, and I
Whiskey.“I’m sorry this was the life you had to live” Zelena’s voice called to me. The pity in it hit harder than any fist. I turned my gaze from the swirling blue glow of the dragon and glared at the bitch. I hate pity, and I certainly don’t want anyone to pity me.“Fuck you” I hissed. The glow of the dragon flashed brighter. The light answered my words like an offended deity.“I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m sorry this happened to the both of us. I never asked for this” Zelena pleaded. Her voice was filled with pain and sadness. It makes me sick. Her sadness had weight. It made the air taste like rain on stone. I struggled in the hold of the dragon’s hand, Zelena’s hand, but I could not get free.“I didn’t want it to be this way” she said sorrowfully. So fucking weak. Trying to explain her way out of it. What does she expect, for me to feel sorry for her. She wants me to tell her it’s all okay, that she can kill me, I don’t mind. Just pitiful.“I don’t want...” Zelena started ag
Whiskey.I squared my shoulders and re-clenched my fists. The snarl on my face was for me, for my own disgust. How could I be so naïve, so stupid, even to entertain the idea? My lips curled back, and a rumbling growl bubbled up from my chest.“Let’s do this” I snapped as I leapt forward, colliding my fist with the corner of Gunner’s chin. He stumbled back from the blow but quickly recovered. We traded punches as the both of us moved about the clearing. I imagine it would have looked like a well choreographed dance. I must admit, Gunner was well trained. He’s big and a little clumsy, and he could not match my speed, but he has power behind his hits. He is not at my level of combat, but he still managed to land a few good hits.Gunner was leading in for an uppercut, I ducked in the last second and drove an ice dagger into his abdomen. He grunted and stumbled back, quickly pulling the shard from his body before it evaporated into smoke. I pushed off the ground and flew through the air, co
Aurora.He then proceeded to roam his hands over her body. At first, I thought he was just being a disgusting pig, getting a feel in while she was out, but that wasn’t the case. He rolled her from side to side, and looked over her arms, legs, stomach and chest. The man even examined between her thi
Zelena.“When will she get the magic?” the voice rang through the speakers, recapturing my attention. I spun back around to watch my father as he gave his answer. I know that he knows the truth, Lunaya told me as much. He knows that she won't gain the power until she loses her virginity. But he wou
Zelena.“Dad” I sobbed and stepped forward. Selene’s hands laid softly on my shoulders and she gently pulled me back.“We have to help him” I cried and looked back at her.“The past is set, sweet daughter. You cannot change what has already been done” she told me as she brushed her fingers over my
Zelena.“Isn’t that up to me to decide?” I said sternly as I stood up and faced my surrogate mother.“No, child” she answered with a kind smile.“Is it because of the prophecy? That's why you didn’t tell me about her?”.I stood waiting for an answer, but she didn’t respond. I opened my mouth to pus
