Chapter 10: Depth of lies James “Try touching her again, and I’ll rip your arm off.” I snarl out at Han Yong-rae. He was trying to grab An Jieun, so I twisted his arm behind his back and pressed him up against the wall. He stops struggling, and An Jieun gives me a nod. I let him go, but I really wanted to rip it off. We followed him down the hall. Rafe and I are on high alert, I have never been more ready for a fight, and that’s saying something since I fought during the night of raids. I mind-link, dad, “We are getting close. What has this pack Alpha said?” “Nothing, really. I think he’s been busy communicating with his pack. I’m not sure what’s going on, but Logan and Gideon are with me, don’t worry.” “Dad, her own brother, and mother tried to harm her, and she doesn’t have a pack mark, and her family name is different. We cannot leave her here.” If we were not in a foreign country and had our pack here, I would have caused some serious damage and got An Jieun out of here that w

Chapter 11: Truth in the Darkness An Jieun “Yet you’re alive, and she’s not. If you don’t want me to report this to the International Council and have your whole family and pack destroyed for meddling with the gods, you will tell me every last detail.” Alpha John Ashwood commands my father. It’s so thrilling watching them all squirm under the pressure of these more powerful Alphas. My heart is pounding from the excitement of it all. Finally, he will atone for all his crimes. “Tell them everything. You cannot hide any longer. Your kind will kill you and your bloodline for your crimes.” I calmly say to my father in Korean. The Americans look at me like a scared rabbit that needs protection, and I will keep it that way. My father glared at me. He looked like a cornered rat trying to find a way to escape. I follow his eyes over to Han Yong-rae. I wonder if I would feel differently about my father if he had ever looked at me like that. He turned his head to Alpha Ashwood and spoke, “Alp
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 12: The Death of a Fox
Chapter 12: The Death of a FoxJames“Death” Alpha Han’s cold expression made me want to tear his arms off. He’s talking about taking something from his daughter and her dying. What kind of father does that?“What happened after you brought Hyun Ara back here?” Father was great at integration because he and Kaan could control their anger. I still had a lot to learn.“I kept her alive so she could give birth to the half-breed. I tried negotiating with her to give me the marble once the child was born, but she refused. A Gumiho needs living hearts and life forces to maintain their strength.” It’s well known that if a god accepts an offering, they are forced by natural law to grant the wish of the being giving the offering. This must have been hard for Hyun Ara. “I would bring her humans and Omegas to temp her since all her strength and life force went into her pregnancy. But she would not agree. She stayed that way for 16 months. I guess pregnancy takes longer for gods. She ate human fo
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 13: Freedom is Only a Dream
Chapter 13: Freedom is Only a Dream Jieun As I follow James and the scary looking one, Rylie, I try to sort through all my feelings. Kwan’s emotions are mixing with mine, and it’s making everything even more confusing. I think we are both relieved to be leaving, and Father cannot do anything about it. The feeling of excitement to go to this new pack and be a Luna is all Kwan’s. It feels like a new prison, and James Ashwood is taking the place of my father as my jailer. Wolves make packs; everyone knows this. Even the word for a group of wolves, “A Wolf Pack,” is a common term. It’s so simple a pack, it’s so natural for them to group together. They are strong on their own, but a pack can be deadly. They are sociable and trust each other. A lone wolf is an insult and is considered unnatural. A pack of wolves strikes fear and adoration in the hearts of man. So many cultures have folklore around the wise strong wolf and the pack that follows. I mean look at them they are in human form
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 14: Revelations
Chapter 14: RevelationsJamesShe looks so peaceful, sleeping with the morning sun dancing on her cheeks. It almost feels like a crime to wake her. She must be tired because I feel like I’m going to drop. “An Jieun, wake up we’re here.” She slowly opens her copper-colored eyes. She’s definitely a fox. I help An Jieun out of the car. She seems OK with holding my hand now.“You all should come with me.” I know that voice. I turn around and my oldest sister is standing in front of the hotel doors. I see her eyes go directly to An Jieun. I hid her behind me.“Am, it’s been a long night we need to sleep.” I don’t know what it is, but the way Am is looking at An Jieun is just unsettling.“This is more important than sleep. Dad, Gideon, and Logan, you need to come along as well.” Am’s face was so stiff. Was she mad? I haven’t even introduced her to my mate yet.“Am, what’s going on?” Gideon grabs my sister’s hand.With a clenched jaw she says, “Your grandmother is here.”Gideon looked shocke
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 15: Fate is Cruel
Chapter 15: Fate is CruelAn JieunWhy. It’s the only word I’m screaming in my head. Why is my kind being hunted? Why am I the unlucky one? Why? I just want to roam the forest; I don’t want any of this. I don’t want to be a Luna. I don’t want to fight witches. Why do I have to have two hearts?All I could do to stop myself from screaming was focus on my clenched fist in my lap. The harder I tightened the more my nails dug in and that little bit of pain kept me from losing it.“Grandmother, could we meet later this afternoon or evening to finish working out a plan? We haven’t slept all night and I’m not sure I can give you my best.” Alpha Gideon seemed awkward calling Ithildin grandmother. I thanked him in my head. All I wanted was to leave this room.“Yes, my dear child.” Ithildin stood up then everyone else did. “Amelie I’d like to examine the boys if you don’t mind.”“Sure grandmother.” Amelie picked up one of the babies from the floor.I was frozen. I just watched as this family fa

Chapter 16: Growing New RootsJamesWhen will everyone stop treating me like a kid? Maybe it’s my own fault, I can’t help but start acting like a kid when my family is around me. I’m so pathetic, how am I ever going to run the Ashwood pack? Hell at this point how do I expect to keep An Jieun by my side?“Uncle Jameeesss! Mommy said you would play with us.” Daisy tugs on my arm and pushes out her bottom lip. I love my nieces, but I am exhausted and so is Rafe.“Girls why don’t you play with your uncle Rylie? Daddy needs to talk with James.” Gideon and Rylie pop around the corner like my saviors. I do feel bad about passing the flowers off to Rylie. I know he’s tired too.“Don’t worry about it. I can take this much.” It’s always been like that. Like Rylie could read my thoughts or maybe I’m just that easy to read. Rylie takes Rose out of my arms, and she quickly wraps her arms around his neck.I caught her whisper into Rylie’s ear. “Secrets don’t make friends.”“Mind your business.” The

Chapter 17: The One I’ve Longed forAn JieunIs someone playing a gayageum? I open my eyes and look around and I’m in a dark forest, how did I get here? I feel drawn to the sound of the slow plucking of the silk strings. My feet are moving on their own to somewhere yet unknown. The forest feels vaguely familiar. As my body moves forward with the melody of the strings my mother’s Hanko comes into view. The music is coming from the inner courtyard. I enter the house, it’s strange, it’s like it was when Mother was alive.I’m quickly standing in front of the door to the inner courtyard and the music stops and a voice I’ve never heard but longed for shakes me to my core. “Jieun, come and sit with me. I’ve called for you, my daughter.”I slid the door open and there she was. I’ve had similar dreams all my life, but this feels so real. I sat at her feet as I have so many times but, her eyes were looking me up and down like she had never seen me before.“I see my daughter has grown into a gre
