“What is it?” I asked with big eyes looking between Ciel and my bracelet that she still grasped.“It is in fact protected. This bracelet has been spelled by a pretty powerful witch. I am curious as to who that might be. But, regardless, it is as you said, Adrian. When she wears this no vampire will be able to enter her mind or sway her decisions. I notice it’s made of pure silver, though..”She lifted one eyebrow looking at Adrian then down at me. Great even she noticed. I looked off to the side. I already felt pretty shitty enough that I hadn’t caught on to the fact that when Acelin said it would protect me from wolves that also extended to Adrian. But was it seriously that big of a deal? I mean, as long as it didn’t touch him he seemed to be fine. I looked over to Adrian and he was looking at me, but I was unable to read his face. What was he thinking? Had that confirmation set him off all over again? Was he upset with me, did he want to kill Acelin even more now, or was it both of

Something wasn’t right. After driving a little while longer, I started to get confused. I wasn’t completely familiar with Sequoia and the surrounding areas, but I was pretty sure we weren’t heading towards Adrian’s house. It was obvious because we seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. There was a narrow dirt road and a bunch of trees everywhere. I saw a shed but no other houses or any other indication of civilization. Were we in a freaking forest? I sat up in my seat now more aware of my surroundings looking around for and hints of where we might be. I looked down at my phone. No cell service. Of course.Maybe I had read it wrong. Maybe Adrian hadn’t forgiven me and was actually more pissed than I thought and was planning on taking me out here to kill and hide my body. No one would ever find me. My eyes got big and anxiety built in my chest.‘Calm down, Ray.’ I said to myself. I really needed to stop watching so many crime shows. ‘Adrian is trustworthy. He would never hurt me.’ I co

“Adrian, what the hell? When did you do this?”I stepped into the room to get a closer look. The room was a huge luxury suite. On a table across from me was a vase full of flowers and balloons tied to it and a gift box. On the far-right end of the huge bedroom was a his-and-hers walk-in closet. One side was filled with women’s clothes, things that were definitely my style, but I didn’t recognize any of them to be mine. I saw tags hanging on some. Did he go shopping for me?What was going on? It was like this room was prepped for me, for us.“What is this?” I turned to look at him still somewhat shocked. I couldn’t believe he had gone through all of this for me. Once again, he had surprise me. A gnawing feeling in my gut hit me when I realized he had probably planned all this before I told him about Acelin. He had done all of this for me while I was playing around in someone else’s bed.Trinity was right. I really was a bitch.“This is our room,” he said. “Well, it is if you want it

My hands wrung together in my lap as I felt my palms begin to get sweaty. I was nervous. Tonight, we were having dinner with some important people in Adrian’s pack, according to him. ‘Pack.’ I wasn’t sure that I’d ever get use to this terminology and the meaning behind it. Adrian tried to explain who they were, but I couldn’t focus. I absolutely hated situations like this. I just knew I was going to be so awkward knowing there was going eyes on me and feeling like everyone had high expectations. But I was a human. Even if I was part witch, I wasn’t a wolf. I didn’t feel like I belonged. I probably didn’t, and I wondered what they would think of me.I looked down at myself. My dress was pretty. My hair and makeup had come together nicely when I checked. I looked damn good, but I wasn’t feeling this at all. Last night I had hoped we would be able to enjoy some alone time after everything that had happened, but there was way too much excitement going on for that. Back in t

“Impossible!” someone yelled. A man sitting on the far left of me had jumped up. One look from Adrian quickly had him back in his seat. “Are you challenging the words from my mate,” Gentry? The man bowed his head looking down while speaking.“I apologize, Alpha. But no one has heard from the Zoldeck coven in many years. It is well known they no longer exist.”“And yet a Zoldeck witch sits before you. Do you think we would come here presenting this information without having thoroughly vouched it?” Adrian’s tone was stern and deep and dared defiance. The man he called Gentry continued to look down in submission and just nodded accepting what he said.‘Thoroughly checked out.’ Was the blood results that Claudis got and taking me an hour away to go see Ciel, his version of thoroughly checking this out? I mean, I guess I didn’t really know how you would check something like this out anyways. Claudis had enough faith in himself and the test results to believe it so it seemed like that was

We sat around and talked through dinner before I was excused. Apparently there was some war talk that needed to take place which I did not need to be apart of, thank God. As of now I had no official position in the pack. I was just Adrian’s mate. And I was perfectly fine with that, honesty. I wasn’t sure I wanted a position in the pack anyways and was more than happy to get out of there. He could be a leader. I preferred to sit back on the sidelines.My energy had been so drained being around everyone and I needed some serious alone time. A nice hot bath and some wine sounded absolutely perfect about now. As I stood up to leave Adrian grabbed my arm and the sensation sent tingles over me skin. He pulled me down to whisper in my ear.“You did great. I’m proud of you. Wait up for me.” The last sentence was completely loaded. The tingling sensation made its way to other areas of my body. I pulled back looking at him and he had a big smile on his face. My cheeks blushed naturally wonderin

The sun had started to come up by the time Adrian finally let me sleep, not that I was really complaining. I had never had that much sex in one night. We went on for hours. It was a mystery how I was able to keep up. His stamina was off the charts. Adrian’s need seemed to feed me energy and I wanted him just as bad in return. But now I was feeling it. My body had completely tapped out. I could tell he was tired too, but not nearly as much as me. Must be his wolf endurance. I’m sure he could have gone even longer, but he knew I wasn’t made for that.He rubbed my back and kissed my skin until my eyes fluttered shut, and I knew I was going to be a complete mess whenever I finally did wake up, but I’d deal with that then, I thought, as sleep finally claimed me.Sometime later, a scent hit my nose that begged me to wake up. Coffee. What a heavenly scent it was. I peeled my eyes open, and sure enough Adrian was there with a hot cup in his hand. He was dressed and looked like he’d bee

Of course she knew it was me. I shouldn’t have been surprised. She was a sensory witch. I smiled at the revelation of her power.“Ciel, how are you?”“I’m doing pretty good. Glad you called.”“You are? Why?”“Yes, of course. Come on now, baby girl. I didn’t want to pressure you before, but I would love to train or help you get a gauge on your powers. That’s just what we do. Helping new and young witches coming into their power is very fulfilling, plus you’re not just a regular witch. I’m interested to see what all you can really do.” I could almost hear the glimmer in her eyes. “If you really are of Zoldeck ancestry, there would be many who would love to get their hands on you.”She wasn’t lying. Hands were already trying to get to me now. But she was exactly the person I needed in my corner. Unlike whoever Claudis had in mind, I knew a little bit about her, I had some of an idea of her powers, and Adrian trusted her. I didn’t think Claudis would hurt me, but he wanted to control me
