I looked down at Bec one more time as I followed Leo out to the hallway, unsure of the time we didn’t linger there we walked outside and headed to where Leo was staying. Once we got inside his room he confirmed what I already had been thinking “I don’t know how much Bec knows about Dorians death but she was the one who was told about it being a murder” I was wrong, so wrong no wonder she is hostile not only did he mess her up in the head while he was alive but he couldn’t even give her peace after he died. “Who is sick in the head enough to tell her that?” “It being her truth to tell I can only say it was a Demon. Asmodeus has been involved and now some time in august The 7 will also be here since they hold information Connor wants” “Has he gone completely mad?!” I snarled at him “Easy save it for another time, definitely not with me” he deadpanned “Bring the 7 here? I wish to the goddess you didn’t just tell me that!” “Listen it’s more than just about Dorians death, Connor believes w
CONNOR POV*The night after he left 1 month from present*I materialized in the stone archway to Nikolai’s castle in Strömstad Sweden, one of many castles the three of us owned threw out Nordic Europe. I didn’t make an attempt to reach out to Nik prior to my arrival I figured he would sense my magic once we were near, giving him no way to run since neither of my sons had magic quite like mine. Nikolai couldn’t run away anymore I was prepared for the backlash from him for choosing to support Dorian in his “traitorous” life. The lines blur heavily between Fenris and I most supernatural beings have extended lives where as we are immortal living now for over 1,000 years I think it would be unnatural if we didn’t mirror one another in some kind of way other than physically when we shift. Nikolai and Hati always struggled being bonded. I’d dare go as far as saying he is very much like Fenris where Sköll was like me the human part it was a risk Fenris didn’t consider when he decided to procr
Releasing them from their bonds in the air as he completed the shift I caught him as he continued his screams “Just kill me Connor!!! Just end it all I can’t live like this!!!!” His pleas were frantic, I held him as his entire body convulsed with emotional turmoil “I don’t want to live anymore!!! I don’t want to see another sun to rise!! 800 years is long enough!” He continued to sob threw his yelling of obscenity’s begging me to end him, attempting to provoke Fenris saying anything to call him out but we refused to engage his requests. I know how he is feeling all to well, we both felt the same wanting to rip ourselves apart just to feel anything after his life bond snapped, the numbness he has been pushing away will help him get threw this but first he has to feel. We will help him get threw this. “Let it in Nik it’s the only way we will get threw” “He won’t come back if I do” “He’s not coming back, he’s dead Nik” saying the words was like rubbing course salt in an open wound b
There was no right way of doing things when it came to Nikolai so when I found him he was quite literally on the edge of a cliff. As I approached him I could quickly tell by his ridged posture he had no intentions of walking back to the castle with me so we could properly clear the air.“Don’t Connor I don’t want to hear excuses” he calmly yelled threw the wind and over the torrent of crashing waves down below“I will go with you back to America not because I forgive him, her or you..” He left the reason why hanging between us. He didn’t have to say it out loud I already knew why he was coming back, Dorian would have done the same for him. He turned his head to look at me from our side by side position“I will need a few weeks before we can leave”Before I could ask him what he meant he lunged forward into the sea below us. He wouldn’t die from any of the injuries he was going to sustain and as much as I wanted to use magic to retrieve him I knew he would just do it again given the ch
Fenris stirs in the back of my mind spurring me on to be quick, I'll only astral project for a few moments just to be sure Bec didn't run Leo off. That's the only explanation for a while that I could settle in my mind as to why Leo hasn't reached out, he simply didn't have anything to report back to me on. As proud as he is, admitting she is simply just to difficult to handle he chose to stay silent. So therefore because I know first hand Bec can be intolerable at times I do not need to justify any other reason as to why I am projecting secretly into Becs bedroom I need to see for myself she okay. Leo has never betrayed me before which is why I know I can trust him to convey to me the things I cannot be present for while keeping my anonymity but that doesn't mean Bec didn't pull one over on him to lead him astray. Which if I find that to be the case he will be punished for letting a small girl bully him instead of listening to his Alpha. I should be mad at her for her defiance but al
I turned right around and headed for my car, once I was far enough away from him just to test my theory I spoke out loud to him"Leo go back to the winery I need to go handle an issue with permits" I looked at him over the roof of my car waiting to see if I was right, I didn't know if I wanted to be.Leo looked at me and tiled his head slightly slowly turning to the left and right. My stomach dropped.I was right.I shoved my shock down, remembering what Fenris said about their ability's.Hearing, sight, smell, healing and speed. Who knew what the hell else they could have, I tried to compose myself and put my car in reverse heading to the Department of revenue office and if I was lucky and had time I'd head over to the court house to start my maiden name process. Maybe those errands will help me take my mind off the fact I have a Werewolf as a damn Bodyguard.I doubt it.30 minutes later I was pulling into a parking spot with a meter in front of a white marble building, I didn't know
I knew the drive home would be long with the storm that came in. It took over an hour to get back to the vineyard and Leo followed safely behind me. I still didn't now how this arrangement was supposed to work. The cottage only had one bedroom how was he supposed to keep guard here the entire time? How much sleep do werewolves need? not to mention how often do they need to let their wolf out? I don't even know what to call it. Transforming? shapeshifting? Mutating?We pulled into the parking lot and made our way to the white gate I used my key card this time to raise the bar so we could enter. The drive way wound in an S shape all the way to the the gravel clearing that made getting in and out easy. The sun was still in the sky but I was already ready to clock out for the day. We parked and I grabbed the duffels I had in my trunk and headed inside to my room. I dug around and found some loose fitting shorts and my house slippers, I changed quickly in the bathroom.I didn't feel like u
I was feeling buzzed now from using our gift to sober her up that while I was tapping away at my screen I didn't notice Leo had walked up and was now standing off to the side of the concrete pad under the pergola. His back was to me as he leaned his shoulder against the cobble stone siding, I didn't admire his body like I did Dorian or Connor's Leo gave of more of a brother vibe to me than sexual attraction. I set my phone down and noticed the sun was setting starting to leave behind beautiful colors.I cleared my throat and took a sip of wine trying to keep the buzz going so I had the courage to ask Leo the questions that had been plaguing me all day."So your a werewolf too huh?" Playing it coolHe turned to look at me pressing his back against the stone work with his arms behind letting him lean comfortably, He tilted his head at me and a small smile played on his lips."How about we play a game?"" A game?" I looked at him swallowing hard"As you well know God's get quite bored me
