Jamie, for the second time in 24 hours, woke up in a different place than when she went to sleep. When she stirred, she first noticed she was in a soft bed that was familiar. The second was that there was Raoul’s large naked body next to her. His arms held her tightly against him. Jamie tried to move out of his arms, but it caused Raoul stir from his slumber.
"Five more minutes, Kitten, before we start arguing," he said in a sleepy voice. He nuzzled her neck, and Jamie could feel her heart thawing a bit.
"Raoul!" Jamie said.
Two weeks later.Jamie had moved back into the pack house and had been on complete bed rest for the week. In the second week, she returned to training. Jamie had also returned to The Cat’s Claw. Eric had been true to his word and not tried to make a move on her. However, Jamie sometimes caught him staring at her longingly. She ignored it as best she could.Raoul and Jamie had not been intimate over the last two weeks. Jamie said she was too tired, but the truth was she had not quite forgiven him. Raoul had been making the effort and was spending a bit more time with Jamie. Jamie, on the other hand, tried to be a bit more understanding. Relationships were about compromising, she thought.Jamie
“I can’t believe you betrayed me over this piece of filth!” screamed an enraged woman dressed in red.“ Please, please Empress....” the sentence was cut short by a hard slap across the male’s face. A small stream of sliver blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.The Empress of Chaos gave a small smile. The bound kneeling man in front of her had done the unspeakable: mated with a Moon Goddess’s child, her mortal enemy! The man had been very good at satisfying her sexual needs and shown prowess on the battlefield. But this transgression could not be forgiven!“Shut up you useless piece of shit! I had great plans for you Richard, we could have been so good together. But, you have betrayed your Empress and your Realm. Your punishment is now going to be proclaimed!"The Empress paused and licked her lips, enjoying the moment.“Every day, you will be taken from your cell at Kyronus and taken to
"We cannot keep this baby! We barely have enough feed us without having to take a foundling in! What were you thinking Robert?” Robert’s wife said.Robert sighed and stared at his wife. He knew it was fear talking and for good reason. The years of struggle had begun to be etched on her faceThe Moon Goddess and the Sun God had not been kind in recent years and the harvest has been a third of what it normally is. Religious people were talking about something happening in the Realm of the Gods, that Chaos was trying to push past the barrier to feed on the world.The Gods barely managed to defeat the Empress of Chaos last time, it was only the fact that one General and three of his followers turned against their Ruler and helped the Gods of Light. Those Immortals were named The Honour Bound by the followers of Light and Order. The followers of dark and chaos called them theAnokior unspeakable ones.The Honour Bound h
Realm of the Gods "You promised me! Where is she, where is my Mate?" Richard demanded as he ran his hands through his dusty blonde hair. He was incredibly frustrated and frankly pissed off. He had done what they wanted and set up the starlight barrier stones. He'd waited over two thousand years for the dam Gods of Light to keep their promise and return his Mate! Richard hated being in the Gods’ of Light Court. It was too bright and airy. Richard looked around and saw there were various animal gods staring at him curiously. He much preferred being in the mortal world to look for his Moon Child, not here! But after 2,000 years of searching, he was d
Realm of the Gods - 14 years ago. "You found our daughter! " Boomed the Sun God as he stood up and raced toward the Forest Goddess, whose eyes opened wide with shock."Where is she? I command that you tell me now!" The Sun God demanded fiercely. The Forest Goddess stammered as the full force of the Sun’s God aura was on her. "My, My Lord ....she is in the Northern Forest in the mortal realm.In acountry called Riverwell." "We shall go to her now and bring her home!" The Sun God replied with a smile. "We have waited for her for far too long.."
14 years later, Jamie’s Home "Look what you've gone and done, you bloody idiot!" A shrill light voice sounded. Jamie was slowly moving towards conscious, but still felt she could not open her eyes. "Too heavy!"she thought. Jamie identified another voice and they sounded very defensive. "It is not my bloody fault, she called me! I am an elemental God, and I carried out her wishes!It is not my fault I destroy the area!" The voice said. "Sounds like a fire Ma cooks on!"Jamie mentally mused. "Yo
Jamie knew that Fairbridge was three days on horseback, which meant a week on foot. Luckily, her hunting knife, bow, and bag had not been damaged. She had walked for over a day and this was her second night in the forest. She had managed to make a fire and was cooking the rabbit that she had caught. "See Ma and Da, I can cook!" A faint smile formed on her lips as she roasted the rabbit. "You know they are dead, right?" An old female voice said. Jamie jumped up and looked around. She saw an old hag with bright blue eyes and crooked teeth. "Who the fuck are you?" Jamie said and felt a sharp tap on her head. "This crone just hit me!" she thought, shocked as she rubbed the point of impact. "Is that a way to speak to your elders, Luvie?" The Crone pointed out. Jamie looked at the old woman. "Apologies, Elder, I was not expecting you in this forest at night!" She said as she bowed her head to show respect. It was true, her behaviour ha
The next morning, Jamie woke up and did as the old woman asked. She looked into the embers of the fire and saw a bead the size of a large marble. It was completely black, but when held up to the light, intricate spirals of oranges, yellows, purples, and reds could be seen. There were also two holes going through the middle, so a string or chain could be put on it. Jamie was not a big jewellery fan, but she had a leather neckless with a small wooden heart on it. It was a gift from her father on her 10th birthday. She quickly untied the leather knot and threaded the black stone and put the whole thing back under her top. Jamie packed up camp and carried on walking.The next four days passed without any incidents. The only strange thing was that Jamie kept having the same weird dream where the old woman was shouting at a v
