Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 82
Tears of anger pooled into my eyes and began to stream down my face. She was taunting me, almost as if she enjoyed it, and I hated her with everything in my being. How could someone be so evil? In the past, I may have threatened but when it came down to it, I’m not so sure I would really go through with it, but never had I wanted to kill another so much in my life. My face warmed, then my whole body. A layer of sweat formed from the tension. She still held my wrists down tightly and she was freaking strong. But I was pissed off, and suddenly a woman scorned. I struggled against her hold and the restraints at my ankles calling upon all my strength to break myself free. Fueled by complete rage, I screamed in pure anguish, something grown from anger, grief, and helplessness. Zariah’s body was flung away from me like a ragdoll slamming against the wall and onto the floor with a satisfying thud. I looked down at myself confused, unsure what kind of magic that was but I wouldn’

“Stay close to me.” Acelin tugged me behind him. “No matter what. If for whatever reason I lose my hold on you or I need to use my hands, you grab on to me. I want to feel your body against mine at all times, stuck like glue. Climb onto my back if you must.” I struggled to hear his low whispers, but the last part made me smile. How he remained calm and composed, even able to crack a joke at a time like this, was beyond me. He wasn’t playing around, though. I knew he felt guilty that someone had lured me in by pretending to be him. So in case anything happened, he wanted me close so no one could get their hands on me again. We made our way through the dark building hugging the halls. Thankfully Acelin led, because I could barely see a thing. Of course vampires could see in the dark. The flooring felt like concrete, a bit damp and the air smelledk moldy. So we were underground, but where? Where had the lunatic witch brought us?“We need to find a quiet space. Zariah and

The confidence I had only moments ago was slowly fading. The longer we waited, the more worried I became. Acelin’s face was solemn, a permanent frown creased his brows. As best as he tried to mask it, the concern he felt inside was overpowering. I felt it as if it was my own anxiety. Some of it probably was. His emotions and my own were a perfect mixture.I was sure he was running the different scenarios through his mind, most likely coming up with endings that didn’t bode well for us. And I was also sure at that point Zariah knew we’d escaped, and it was only a matter of time before we were found. With no idea of how far we were from Adrian and the others, it was logical that she or the other vampires of the Guild would get to us before my people. My people…I missed them so much, and because of the situation I couldn’t help but think it might be the end. Would I ever see them again? Would I get to tell them goodbye? There were so many things left unsaid, so many things

“Acelin what the actual hell happened to you back there,” I questioned as me him and Onyx ran to meet up with the others. In the two minutes since we’d left the room we were hiding in they’d already killed a few others. Was it weird that seeing vampires get killed no longer bothered me that much?“When I ran out of the room, I realized I had made a miscalculation and there were a few more than what I had originally thought. They were lingering at the end of the long hall in wait, so I needed to take care of them before they attempted to alert others.”“Yes. When I passed him, three had been killed and he was actively fighting two others.”“Wow! You took out five vampires by yourself. How strong are you?”“Just barely above average.” Onyx responded and I saw Acelin glare at her letting me know he was much stronger that she mocked him about.“When he saw me, he knew there was no longer any need to fear. I am stronger than my brother, so he knew I would get to you and save the day.”“Humi
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 86
A menacing and triumphant smile spread across her lips. I wanted nothing more than to smack it right off her bitch ass face. But I didn’t care about my pride, the fact she thought she’d won, or anything else at that moment other than saving Adrian. “You are bound to the wolf and the vampire separately. You have two mates, it’s true, but now what is required is for the bond to be completed between you three. They must be tied to each other just as they are tied to you.”Wait, what? My head was too all over the place for this. Adrian and Acelin had to bond too? Why and how would that even happen? I was pretty sure they wouldn’t be down for that thinking about the way I’d bonded with them.My eyes went to Acelin in confusion wondering if he had any idea what she was saying. His brows furrowed and the crease between them deepened, which made me think he might.“Okay. I have heard enough. This witch is dead if she believes that” -- Acelin cut Onyx off pulling her to the side in a heated c

The darkness bled into the light as my eyes scanned the empty, bright space that changed before my eyes. Call me Dorothy, because I definitely wasn’t in Kansas anymore.Was I dead? “No offense, but this is not what I was expecting heaven to look like,” I mumbled to myself because surely it wasn’t hell. There was no way, right?“You get your sense of humor from your father,” Someone laughed and I spun around. Not one, but three people stood before me, a man and two women. My feet moved on their own as I took a step towards them almost subconsciously. The man was young and handsome. The women were beautiful, one a bit older, but both with brown skin, long, thick hair, and gorgeous eyes. But I wasn’t surprised at their beauty. I’d seen them before… at least in pictures.“Antoinette and Angelique.” I whispered more to myself looking at them both respectively. The younger woman smiled widely, embracing me with her grace. My mother. Wow. She was so pretty. She opened her arms
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 88
Zariah was still in front of me with her hands held to my temples, but I no longer felt tired or weak. Actually, the complete opposite.The events of the last few months flashed in my mind like a rewinding function. I had been pushed to leave the place I’d known as home, finding myself in a new city so far away. At the time, I was down and out, depressed, feeling super low. My heart was completely broken. I was completely broken. But then Adrian and Acelin came into my life when I needed someone the most. That was no coincidence. And despite the fact of who they were, they showed me things I’d only dreamed of before. Almost as if something too good to be true, but it was just that. They gave me their hearts so willingly and they too had mine. Because of our bond and love I was stronger than ever. I found out who I was, became confident and more comfortable in my own skin. Met friends and family I never knew existed. Yes, it was kind of crazy, but my life had changed drastically for
Blood and Moon: Araya Chapter 89
Sleep didn’t come for me that night. A terrible storm brewed outside the window, matching my somber mood perfectly. Usually, a rainstorm would have had me knocked out, but right then, it only added to my discomfort. Rain poured down, lightening flashed, and thunder clapped loudly. The wind whistled harshly, scraping bare branches against the window. I recalled the story my mom used to tell me and my sister when we were little girls. When it thundered God was moving furniture around. When lightning flashed, he was turning on the lights. And when it rained, he was crying. We were taught to believe in a different God than the ones I more recently learned about, but is that what was happening? Were the gods crying?I laid on my back staring up into the dark as if would reveal the answers of the universe. The things that just happened haunted me. I wondered if they could have been handled differently or if somewhere we took a wrong turn. Would it always be like this?So typical of me to
