"I need to see him." There is nothing else in this goddamn world Win wants to do right now."Win, please–""You said so yourself," Win cuts off Mike softly, feeling strangely calm, as if he's trapped in the eye of his own storm of mounting agony, terror and grief, "He walked inside a trap and shut himself in, he's not walking out. I need to see him... please," his voice breaks at the end."It–it might not be a good idea, Win," Mike tries again to plead with him. "It won't be pleasant to experience the emergence, especially for someone like you with your Omega.""Alex and I and my Alpha and I'm already feeling my skin crawl with what's happening right now," Type mutters, almost to himself. A faint shudder runs down his entire body."I will see him if that is the last thing I do. Do you understand me?" Win asks, simply because that's the truth. He doesn't care if this will end him too. If Alex is the last thing he sees when he leaves the world, he's more than ready to accept it. What he
Win drops his gaze, letting the flickering flames on the seal go blurry in his vision. Despite the almost melting temperatures in the chamber, he feels cold inside, as if his own life force is fading along with his husbands'. The manifestation of the final dying throes is watching above them, hovering like a carrion bird, eager to witness the birth of the new realm - the one that is being born out of the scattered, buried energies of its own recent annihilation.He blinks at the way the flames on the stone floor lick at his knees, feeling detached, almost numb. A tiny part of his scattering mind wonders why he hasn't been set ablaze by the fire surrounding him. He's not completely aware of what he's doing when he slowly gets back to his feet again. Win watches from the center of the floor, his expression a blend of exhaustion, sorrow and relief. He thinks Win is leaving, having finally seen his point, and is relieved.The time slows and stretches. They are both caught in a monumental
Consciousness arrives gently, letting Win's awareness spread in tiny increments.The first thing he realizes is that he is not stuck inside an ancient magical entrapment anymore. The suffocating presence of the twin is gone. He can breathe easily, and the air is cool and fresh, with hints of herbs and mint.His mind is functional enough to remember that only the smells like this; of old scent and sanctuary... the safe and welcoming parts of it, at least.It's also wonderful to feel that he's lying on a bed instead of kneeling on the hard stone floor. His weary body is much appreciative of its softness and warmth. He is content to lay there for the moment, accepting that even though he still feels drained and exhausted, he is alive. Against all insurmountable odds, he is somehow alive.Alex.Even as the thought slams into him, something flares in his chest, bright and vibrant and vital. It catches all of his attention instantly, this new feeling that seems to have lodged deep inside hi
With shaking hands, she held the papers while tears filled her eyes. She looked down and saw the little symbols that indicated what your second gender would be. One would be crossed, and that would mean that you were either an alpha, beta, or... an omega.She scanned the papers, and her eyes landed on the little cross that was scribbled on the paper. She read the word that was written next to it over and over again.Why her! She didn't even look like one. Her shoulder shook, and she let the test result process in her mind. She felt so disappointed.OMEGANo, she is not, she is not an Omega. She is Alpha, a Alpha woman!And no one is going to change that, not even this stupid test result.--Adira gasped; her eyes blinked open. Yet again, the same dream she could feel that even her eyes were wet from unshed tears. She sat up on the bed and looked over at her alarm clock at 6.30 a.m. Sighing, she got up slowly, put her hands over her face, and wiped away the tears.She wouldn't be able
The day seemed like it just wouldn't end; they had been huffing through their classes like some teenagers who hated the world. But finally, Adira slammed the door open on campus and strode off the front steps.Jack was running after her, trying to keep up with Adira's long legs."wait! No goodbye?" Jack wheezed out behind her."It's not like I'm leaving for 3 years." Adira laughed at an out-of-breath Jack and stopped in front of her bike."Let's grab a coffee before you go! You need to give me your notes from last week!" He said it with wide eyes and was a bit panicky.So that's why he wanted to keep her here some more, Adira thought. She laughed and grabbed her bag and rummaged around in it to find the papers from last week. She had already finished her assignments and homework, so she would have to worry about it when she went home. She found them and gave them to Jack, who happily grabbed them from her hands."You're an angel." Jack said this and slapped her shoulder."Not like any
"How's school, how's everything?" she grinned and watched Adira winch from her payback."You know, just normal, doing great in school, and will be finished next year.""ahh... Will you come back home then? It's so lonely without you here." She whined and gave her the biggest puppy eyes she could make.Adira hadn't thought of what she wanted to do after she finished college. Maybe find a job in the city or move back here to find a job here. She would see what the next few months would bring her. She still wasn't sure what she wanted; that's why she also came back here to maybe find some answers and make a life plan.Adira wrapped her arms around her sisters' shoulders and laid her head on them."hmm... I don't know yet; maybe I'll move back. But just for you then," she winked and grinned at her jokingly."you sap. Find a mate already!"She slapped her on the head and stood up to jump back on her to fight her before they heard their mother calling them for dinner.Adira was relieved; he
"Boss, I'm back." Seth said as he walked into Sebestian's study that the little dog waggled inside after him and sat himself before the boss. Sebestian looked up, his eyes stern and his gaze fixed on his second in command."Good, let's go. They found the man who has tried to meddle with our business. Let's hear him out." Sebestian said it with a dark look and a smirk on his face. As he stood up and buttoned his suit jacket, he almost moaned. That smell. Where did it come from? It was a sweet mix between cinnamon and apple, and his Alpha inside perked up and became restless. He looked around and sniffed. He couldn't place it and didn't know where it came from."Do you smell that?" he asks."what smell. I don't smell anything." Seth said this and looked at his confused boss. He had never seen him act like this. Ever.They had moved here with the gang over six months ago, and this was the first time he saw the boss out of character. His usual demeanor cracked, and a soft smile could be s
Seth drove them back to the main mansion, the Sebestian main house. As they were driving through the little town, their Sebestian Alpha instinct perked up again. That smell! It was here again. Sebestian eyes darted around out the window of the car and tried to look for the person with that amazing smell. The only thing he could see was the park and a lot of people out playing. Who was it? He almost ordered Seth to stop the car, but they were driving too fast. He had his window rolled down to keep smelling that apple-cinnamon smell he would most definitely get addicted to. His mind was still lingering on that scent as they drove up the long driveway with the tall trees on each side. The big white mansion appeared before them. It was closed off and could not be seen from the village, and no one would come here, and no one knew that a mansion like this was in the woods. That's why he loved this place, and that's why they moved here with the gang. It was easier to operate from here, and n
