Tonya is watching Joling. She's Spinning around in complete joy. It's nice to see her not crying over having to leave Apollo. Usually Tonya dances in the woods. She giggles at the thought that this must be what she looks like.She jokes, "You know that I need you to focus!”Jolene laughs, “I’m ready to rock!”Tonya playfully slaps her forehead when Jolene does a high kick.She murmurs, “You're a stone!”Jolene grabs her hands and spins her in circles, “We need to get this mess over with. So, I can marry my husband!”Tonya giggles, “Are you going to defeat your dad while smiling?”She continues to lead her down the path.She nods exaggeratedly, “Happily!”Tonya gets serious for a moment, “Teago didn't take that well..”She gets the exact response that she was hoping for, “He chose his person, and it threw me into Apollo's arms. I hate that he expected me to approve of them, but when I move on it's a problem?”Tonya stops her and whispers, “I hear something!”They hide in the brushes an
Jolene goes to bed early in hopes of seeing Apollo. The wolf has gone out to get food. Tonya is sitting in front of the campfire. She stares at the fire and is using it to see and get bits and pieces of the future. The wolf returns and he sits himself across from her. He starts to cook the dinner that he had caught.He can't control his curiosity as he asks her, “Why are you scared of me?”She smirks and corrects him, “I'm not scared, I don't even know your name!”He doesn't take his eyes off of the fire, “I’m Ben.”She can't contain her laughter, “A big bad wolf and your name is Ben?”She continues to laugh, “You don't even look like a Ben!”He watches her in amusement as she goes into a giggling fit. She continues, “You look like a tough guy. You act tough, but your name is Ben!”He joins in with her laughter for a moment then smiles, “Nah, I’m just playing with you!”She stares at him in curiosity, “Then what is your name?”He smiles up at her, “My name is Teago.”She goes silent
They've walked all day and it's time to sleep. Jolene is the first one in bed. As soon as she closes her eyes, she feels strong arms around her. Apollo kisses her around and smiles at her. He smirks as he kisses her hand. He trails his kisses from the front of her hand, up to her face. No words are needed, but their passions speak volumes.Meanwhile Tonya is trying to sleep, but she can't stop thinking about Teago. This frustrates her. A part of her wishes he could just join her. An even bigger part is that Vlad is her, he can distract Teago.Vlad hushly asks Teago, “What with you and Tonya?”Teago remembers what Jolene had told him about how the demi-gods feel about their mates.He takes a deep breath before admitting, “I want her man!”He sees Vlad making a face so he continues, “I'm trying to respect her beliefs, but I wanted her.”Vlad stares at him intensely as he goes on, “I'd never come in between her, and her mate when she finds him.”Vlad chuckles, “You wouldn't be able to co
Jolene watches in awe as Apollo and the guys talk and laugh.Teago hushly asks Apollo, “So you're not her mate?”Apollo studies him for a moment, “No, I'm not. Her mate mistreated her.”Teago admits, “I'm in love with Tonya.”Apollo realizes where he's coming from, “You're human side can love someone else. The complication is your wolf!”Teago scratches his head in confusion as he reminds Apollo, “She's a witch!”Apollo grits his teeth, “Your bond may need to be broken when she meets her mat..”His words trail off, but Teago manages to hear him.
Vlad holds Alaric up with his hands, “ bow down to your new king!”Three vampires run to save the king. Tonya strikes them with power, and they fall to the ground. The crowd, murmurs, and one by one they bow. Tonya starts to cry, and runs through the crowd. Diego is about to follow her, but Jolene stops him.She kindly says, “I’m going to talk to her.”He nods and informs her, “Alaric is her mate.”Jolene understands and then runs after her. She follows the sound of cries. She rolls her eyes and shakes her head when she finds her in a tree. She grunts while trying to climb the tree.Tanya can’t help but laugh at the sight of her, and in between tears, she asks, “I take it that you’re not a tree person?”Jolene Huff, while replying, “No I prefer the ground.”She barely gets up the tree, when Tonya finally pulls her into her arms. She weeps uncontrollably. Jolene rubs her back and allows her to let it all out in her arms.She cries out, “Of all people the evil vampire King has to be my
As they walk Teago reassures her, “Sures it's not an idea, but he is your mate!”Tonya shushes him, “I’m not ready to call him that!”She hugs him and buries her head into his chest.She murmurs, “I want us for a little longer.”She speaks up at him and looks into his eyes, “There's no way that he's anything like you!”Teagos' heart warms at her words and he hugs her back, “I wont complain about having more time with you.”She can't help but to ask, “but?”He gently places a strand of hair behind her ear, “I won't be the one to hold you back.”She stares at him in confusion and he continues, “A life without your mate could be painful.”His words bring her heart delight. She brushes her lips against his, in appreciation. He placed his hands on the small of her back. For the second time ever, they bond. This time Tonya is on edge. She feels a sense of off energy, but that doesn't stop her. As they lay next to each other, Teago pulls her into his embrace.He groans in her ear, “I don't
Teago can see that Alaric is about to snap. The sight of him only encourages him. He lets out a laugh as he watches him hit the bars. The vampire looks so silly to him.Teago teases Alaric, “You might be her mate, but she loves me!”Alaric's breaths get heavy with anger.This only encourages him more, “You're just a mate, she didn't choose you. Me, on the other hand, she chose me!”Alaric's stops hitting the bars, and he starts to shake them instead. Teago snickers at him, as he leaves him to feel angry. Alaric is so mad that he doesn't stop shaking the bars. His lust, and need to officially claim his mate consumes him. His powers intensify and grow, within seconds he breaks the bars. He runs to the wall and opens up a hidden passageway.*Meanwhile with the girls*Jolene asks, “What was that about?”Tonya shrugs, “I can't fight the fact that he's my mate, but Teago..”She huffs and kicks a stone.Jolene simply nods and supportively states, “I know, it’s complicated.”Tonya smiles at h
After cleaning up, Jolene is still waiting for Tonya and Alaric. She lays back in a rock and stares up at the sun. A sadness washes over her. She realizes that she didn't get to talk to Apollo. She closes her eyes and thoughts flood her mind. Subconsciously, she rubs the tips of her fingers on her charm. She sits and waits, but he doesn't respond.Her heart drops at the sound of him, “Did you miss me already?”She giggles and throws her arms to her sides, “Ugh, why do you have to be so missable?”He laughs as he helps to pull her up. She leaps into his arms. When their eyes meet, he can see the panic in her eyes. He pulls away and lifts an eyebrow at her. She doesn’t say a word.He groans sarcastically, “What's on your mind?”She's about to speak, but someone interrupts her.Alaric's voice booms, “Can't you read her mind?”Apollo gives him a warning glance.Alaric chuckles, “So you can read my mind but not hers?”Apollo corrects him, “I read your future, not your mind.”Alaric mocking
