Chapter 12
The cottage was filled with a flurry of magical energy. Even though I was born a witch, I had no problem with the subject matter. Because Calian had mentioned that their tribe no longer had any witches, the magic took me by surprise. The fact that he claimed there were no witches does not rule out the possibility of magic being practiced by those who lack the title. Whatever the case may be, it was completely out of my hands.
When I looked about at the décor, I saw that there were no furs on display, which was unlike the way they were in my hometown. Herbs of all kinds were drying from the ceiling, though. Those odors overwhelmed my nostrils. Lilac, pine, cedar, peppermint, spearmint, aloe vera, and a slew of other scents were in the air. It was nearly too much to bear, but I tried to keep my mind on what Lora had muttered... My enticing smell...
What on earth was an "arousal"? With so many various fragrances in the air

She continued. “Well, it did work out for him. He lost all his power and most of his influence within the tribe. All our food supplies dwindled. The only way he could feed the pack was by doing bad things to other people. As I’m sure you’ve already heard; Cannibalism.”Lora laughed and I could only sit there, dumfounded. Charlie let out a snort along with her.I clasped my hands in front of myself and ignored her ‘pack’ phrase. “Why didn’t you guys rebel sooner?”"Kiera, I know you have never rebelled like that in your life. Neither had we."I felt a tear slide down my cheek. It was true. I hated the constant questioning, the never-ending investigation, and the fact that I felt so alone in it. It didn't help knowing how I would bring shame to my family if I went against the Tribe's rules."I am sorry.""I

The warrior being hounded, had his hands raised in protest. He was trying to keep a distance from my father. My father had his hands on his hips, looking down at the warrior, waiting for him to move away first before he took any action against him. As we approached, I saw the anger building up in him and I knew that this time he would not hold back, even if it meant putting our tribe in danger by doing so."Chief, your daughter is right here. Please calm down." Calian shouted before we could reach them.My father spun himself to face us. His face was red from fury."Why is she here?" He bellowed."Dad, I'm not a little kid anymore. Calian was helping..." Before I could finish, my dad interrupted me."YOU be quiet! I am speaking with the Chief of this tribe. Not you!" I could imagine the beating I would get when we got home tonight just from his tone.I dropped my head in shame, but Calian backed me up. "As she said, I was helping her to understand our tribe. Showing her, we could all

CalianI knew what would happen if I kept hanging around that girl. The stunning, dark-skinned brunette had drawn my attention the moment I had glimpsed upon her floating in that lake. Just from that moment, I knew how brazen she was. When her mouth opened and the music of her voice rang through my ears as she chewed me out, I was hooked. No matter what my infatuation with her was, she could never be mine. I slammed the wooden table in front of me as her face flashed in my head. The frown displayed on her face when I accepted what her father demanded of me, hurt.Kiera had trusted me. She put faith in me after seeing her naked so many times and I betrayed her. Although her nudeness was innocent on her end, the thoughts running through my head were not. Several times a day, I had found myself hard, daydreaming about smothering my face between her sumptuous breasts and taking in her lovely scent of embarrassment. Realization of my wayward thoughts hit me as I struggled to adjust the

Kiera2 WEEKS LATER...The lush grass tickled my exposed back as I layed there watching the little amount of clouds quickly move along the sky. The cooling breeze caused shivers to adorn my spine as my intuition caught on to the upcoming storm making it's way overhead. My sunbathing in the tan undergarments that I wore, was about to come to an end the moment the sky decided to let go of it's tears.Yet again, the calming scent of the murky lake water soothed my rising nerves. This felt more like a home to me than the village did recently. It was quiet and relaxing to be out here. I could be myself and collect my thoughts here, and yet, that nagging feeling was always present. Thinking about heading back to the village killed my mood quicker than I could prevent it.Whispers - everywhere I turned. Deep down, I knew it was home, but it no longer seemed that way to everyone around me. Even in my mother's voice, the sadness she felt towards me presented itself loud and clear.Depression

The major wedding is taking place tomorrow. A marriage between the Chief's daughter and Ahiga, a gallant warrior of great renown. That daughter is none other than me. Arranged marriages are very important in our tribe, the Asalog. Individuals marry one another because they are of like grade; two strong people get married together as much as two weak people. Historically, our customs were established to keep authority from controlling our lives. Yes, we have a Chief, but he was picked for his good acts rather than his power. Following his death, the tribe's protection is handed over to the next noble-hearted man who has shown himself worthy.A woman is unable to get the position of Chief. Not because she is a woman, but because our obligations are equally as vital as those of men. We are the chefs, instructors, healers, child carriers, and the ones that the men look to for guidance when it comes to making vital life and death decisions. Hunting and fighting are two things that

My mother took Ahiga’s position when he left and turned to me. My father had his eyes filled with love-longing after her. I longed to have that sensation for someone.“Dear, Naga informed me that you kicked her daughter.”I pealed my eyes from my father and rolled them again. “She tried to trip me as I was walking. I gave her a little nudge out of the way.”Leave it to Aila to go tattle to her mother.Mother eyed me, but smirked. “You know, doing nothing would get you the same revenge you seek? Especially, if this is over you marrying Ahiga.”“So, she will tattle on me even if I didn’t kick her?” I raised my eyes.She pursed her lips. “You know what I mean. Marrying that man will shut her up.”I crossed my arms and pouted. “If only being engaged to him would do the trick.”In response to Ahiga returning and standing by my father, she struck my u

I was irritated by the prospect of my father removing me from such an important meeting. Yes, one of the reasons I wanted to stay was because of Calian. Okay, so maybe it was the main reason I wanted to stay after all! Even though I had more than enough legal authority to remain at the meeting, my simple query immediately informed my father that I was interested in more than just the reasons for the new tribe's presence. In this instance, there was no "me getting ready for the wedding." The entire event would be planned by the tribe, and all I had to do was sit back and wait until it was time to say, "I do."Traveling down the dirt route leading out of the village and west to the lake helped me to relieve my frustration. I managed to escape anyone's gaze for a while, which saved me from snapping at someone. After passing the final cabin, the dirt route came to an end. Now it was time to walk barefoot along the soft grass, passinga dense stand of oak trees. The simple ac
