Se connecterAdona's POV: Present day... Underneath the light of the full moon, I stood beside the large fire pit that sat a few yards beyond my home. The woods fought to hide me away from the moon, but its light broke through to witness my power. The fire burned under my large cauldron. The wind howled, the breeze blowing through the fabric of my long dress, as my hair danced around me. I lifted my eyes to the sky, taking a deep breath in, and sighing out. "It's been a long time coming. I just know our ancestors are ready for our victory." I picked a few herbs from my pocket, dropping them into the boiling water. A midnight blue color slowly appeared, as I took the large stained stick and stirred. The heat of the water kept raising. I plucked three small vials from a sachel that hung from my hip and placed them into the pot. The words that called forth the powers that flowed through me, came rushing forward. My words came out as a whisper. As I continued the chant, the wind picked up all arou
Since the night I attacked Avadale to save Nic from a force bonding and marriage, we never saw her again. I was grateful for that. It took me a bit to come down from my rage, and when I finally did, I was glad I healed her before we left. I felt bad with how things ended between us, but she choose this. I've prayed that she would find peace, just far from us. I had to heal Nicholas that night, as well. She fed him so much of that potion, and the way it was crafted, it purposely dulled his senses and caused confusion. If it had been anyone else, they would've completely forgotten who they were. Knowing what I knew then, he survived because he was a powerful being, and she fed him so much of it because her magic was weaker than his.It's been a little over 4 years now. Nicholas and I tied the knot. My "pack" or how I choose to classify them, my family, accepted Nicholas and Nicoli into the fold. Nicoli still lives amongst the warlocks of his and his brother's coven. I ended up meeting s
I took the time to decorate my home as the newly wed I was meant to be. I began caring for my plants again, after I casted a spell to rejuvenate them. I wanted our first night to be at the place where we first met. It took alot of time and effort to prepare, but it was all worth it. While he was out cold, I fed him a sleep potion to keep him asleep. I knew that if he ever wake, he'd be able to stop me. I couldn't have that.. The night sky shone with the light of the stars. The field was lush with green grass, as I laid him on a bed of hay covered with a thin white sheet. Around him, I laid flower petals of white, red and various colors. He looked so at peace as he slept. I hung lanterns around the trees that surrounded us, and a beautiful soft glow fell over us. The breeze was gentle, very inviting. From where he laid, I created an aisle of rose petals that led to the two largest trees within our homey circle, and build an arch of vines for us to stand underneath as we took our vows u
Nicholas asked me for my hand.I said yes.That night, he kissed my tears away, and laid with me. I was overjoyed to be with him, but my heart broke at the same time for my friend. I knew there was no going back after this. There would be no changing or going back. As much as I wanted to make things right, even though none of it was my fault, I couldn't fix my lips to say no. I couldn't tell him goodbye... so I said yes. The next morning, I woke up, alone. I knew Nicholas well enough to know that he probably went to say something to Avadale, considering I was going to end things between us because of her. All day I was anxious. I figured he'd return once it was all said and done. As the light of day turned to the dark of night, my anxiousness turned to worry. Where was he?He wouldn't have asked for my hand if he didn't mean it. So I waited.One day turned to two, then three. I tried to give reason for his absence. Deep inside, a small part of me thought maybe he did, in fact, chang
Nicholas was away for a while. I didn't know for why, exactly, but I could almost bet it was because he hadn't gone through with the arranged marriage with him and Avadale. He probably had some smoothing over with his family. When we finally came together again, I needed some answers. He found me, deep in the woods behind my home. I sat around a fire pit, trying to hide from the breezy night. I didn't know why, but I could always tell it was him whenever he was near. "Cimone, what's wrong?" My eyes were on the flames, but I saw nothing. I was completely zoned out. The heat of the fire warmed the skin of my face, but did nothing to warm the cooling around my heart. "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked. "Tell you what?" I felt my insides flinch. "Do not play dumb with me, Nicholas. Why?" He said nothing for a while. "Because I never wanted to be with her. I've known her most of my life. She was a sweet girl. Always has been, but I never wanted her in that way." He said. He took
I thought my friend betrayed me.I was wrong.She did not know.I stepped closer to Cimone. Her darkskin began to match her green eyes. She looked sick. She became unsteady on her feet, swaying. I grabbed her forearm to balance her. Cimone stared off into nothing. I studied her face.She truly knew nothing.Her eyes finally crept back to mine."I-I-I... he-he... Nicholas? My Nicholas was yours?"She stammered out. I nodded my head."Yes, he was mine."She swayed more with my words. I escorted her over to a chair in the corner of the room. We sat. Neither of us said a word."I am so sorry, Avadale. Had I... I would have never..."Cimone began to say. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, trying to process what was happening. I clasped a hand around hers."It is alright, now, Ci. Now that I know you didn't know, all is forgiven."Her eyes widened in suprise. She squeezed my hand."Do you mean it? Honestly?"Her eyes gleamed with hope at reconciliation, and I was happy to oblige. I smiled.
I was anxious. I couldn't wait to see Kwen once more. She was so refreshing to be around. She's incredibly intelligent, funny, caring, and beautiful doesn't even begin to describe the way she looks. She walks with so much confidence and in strength. I've never met another like her. When we were out
I followed behind Kwen as we exited the dining hall. I saw the many faces of the members of this pack look at Kwen with embarrassment. Knowing that most of these people were abusive to Kwen in one way or another bothered me. I frowned at them all, and they all bowed their heads, hiding from my glar
I started hearing noise around me as I tried to sleep.'Kwen. Wake up. Our mate, Psy's mate and our brother are here.''You've got to be kidding me right now? Halo, tell them to leave.'She chuckled.'I can't.'I groaned inwardly. I focused on the noises in the room. My brain was still trying to wa
We were out!!We were FINALLY on our way to Italy!! Kera had us refund the plan tickets and we used her parents' private jet to get there. Instead of a long ass flight, including one layover, we'll get there in under 7 hours. I was fully prepared to be jet lagged, but I don't think I will now. I lo
