tessa's POVHere I am in a witches' lair listening to a story But this story made me forget my woes for a while and I forgot whether I was kidnapped. Listening to this woman was better than lying here all alone wondering why I was kidnapped and dealing with endless pain. "Oh, you are so naive," she said, again, shaking her head with an indulgent smile. I guess she thought that she was dealing with a fool. "Yes. You see, when a witch is born in our coven, a candle is lit by her mother and placed in the great hall. It is a special kind of candle made by the witch elders. The light stays on as long as the person is alive. It changes colour depending on the situation the person is in. For example, when one is sick, it turns dark, when one is in danger, it turns red, when one dies, it goes off," she explained and I thought that that was genius. Wow! "So, when her light went off a few days after the war ended, there were only two possibilities: one, she had died or two, she had tu
Alex's POVRight now, I don't even know what was worse: knowing that I had a male mate, and a vampire at that, or the fact that Tessa was still missing. I didn't know what to think. Since Mason said that he was my mate, I couldn't agree or disagree but a lot of things made sense now. Like the fact that I could smell him and the fact that I felt like I already knew him from the time I saw him."You said you know where she is?" I asked him as I tried not to think of the fact that I was now seeing him in a way I hadn't looked at him. His lips were full and pinkish. I wondered if they tasted as sweet as they looked. Can I taste them? "First, we need to talk about ourselves. It's by working together that we can be able to help her. What I know for a fact is that those who have her won't kill her because they still need her. So, for now, let's talk about us," Mason said and I turned to look at my dad. "It's okay baby. When he told us, we were also shocked but we decided to give hi
Mason's POVI am twenty four this year and unlike many of my age mates, I still haven't found my half soul. Even my father was getting worried because according to our pack rules, I had to have a wife first before I could take over the leadership of our pack. You see, for us, it isn't like it is with wolves. For wolves, there is always a half chance that one could be mated to a man omega. For us it is always man woman and nothing more. When we visited oracle for the umpteenth time about my lack of a half soul, he told my parents the same thing he usually said: the best braised beef was the one which had been cooked fie hours for the aroma of the spices to sink into the meat and for it to be smooth and tender. "What do you know about cooking meat and living on blood?" My mother asked the oracle one time when she got fed up. "My child, when you have lived as long as I have and seem as much as I have, you will learn that good things take time," the oracle answered her and closed
Alex's POVI can't believe that I marked Mason. I don't even know where to begin from. It was the best feeling I have ever experienced. I had marked him and he was happy. We cuddled the whole night and when we woke up, the mark wound wasn't bleeding as much but I had to take him to our pack hospital for proper dressing. The nurses and doctors were surprised to see me take a vampire but none of them said anything because I am the alpha.Only one doctor asked why it oddly looks like a wolf's bonding mark but neither Mason or I said anything. It's not yet time to let everyone know about Mason and I. We have to wait until we three are ready and then, they can know. After the treatment, we went to the main mansion and our family was there waiting for us. If they knew that we are bonded now, no one says anything. The topic of discussion revolves around rescuing Tessa. Mason tells us that Tessa is in the Madeleine Coven. "I knew it! Why didn't I guess it earlier?" Dad, her father
Alex's POVWe are here at last. If I was asked, I knew that the Madeleine Coven was in our region but I didn't know where. It was like they hid themselves with charms and all and I wondered how Mason knew where their Coven was but then I remembered that he said that they work with the witches. "If they know that you are part of this, won't they refuse to make the daylight rings for you guys?" I asked him.I didn't want him to make a decision that would disadvantage him in the future. "Even if they don't find out tonight, I am hell bent on making sure that I kill all of them after tonight. How dare they kidnap my mate?" Mason said and I was relieved. I also had the same thought. After we rescue Tessa, I just pay this place a visit and burn it to the ground. Kidnapping my own is something I can't tolerate. Never! We organised everything and after Leo made sure that everyone was at their posts, we were ready to go in. "Are you okay man?" I asked Leo who seemed to be a little ou
24. Tessa's POVIt has been a month. One whole fucking month! I can't believe it. It's not that I didn't want to get well. No. In fact, if I had been asked, I wanted to get back on my feet like yesterday but how could I? Those bitches had pumped in me tonnes and tonnes of nickel and silver and wolf's bane. Though Mason's blood really helped in my treatment. And talking of Mason, I must be the first she wolf to have two mates. I think the goddess must have been mistaken because... how do I handle two males? And alphas at that! Since that day they rescued me, of which I am very grateful and I've made sure they know, they wouldn't leave me alone. Mason has literally moved into the pack and he stays in Alex's room. I guess there isn't a problem since they are mates right? I guess. Anyway, if it's not Alex watching over me, it's Mason and if it isn't one of the two, then it's Leo. Alex's lap dog and my brother. Truthfully speaking, now that the three of us are together, I can fin
25. Tessa's POVOnce in my office, I sit on the chair looking at Monet who has been placed on the floor and she is barely breathing. "Why are you crying over a human? Do you have an affair with her?" Mason asks me and I look at him. "What? I ask him?" I ask him because I think I misheard him."Do you have an affair with her? Is she the reason why you have refused to bond with us?" He asks and by now, his eyes have turned red and I swear I can see red smoke coming out of them. But I don't care. All I want is to get Monet medical attention because I know she has broken bones and internal bleeding. She is even lucky that she didn't die from that hit. "Mason, why are you being an asshole? Why did you get her?" I scream as I stand to face him but it's funny because he is towering over me. He is seven feet tall and I am barely five six. "What did you say? Are you insulting me over a human? Do you love her that much?" He screams and takes a step towards Monet. I know that I can't bea
. Mason's POVI've been staying in the wolf pack for a month and counting since I found out that my half souls are both wolves. I just can't help it. Especially since Alex and I bonded by the mark he gave me, I just want to be there. What has been bothering me really was and still is Tessa. I know that she can clearly feel the blind between us three but she behaves like she doesn't want to acknowledge us. But what I've been grateful for is that she allows us to get close to her and protect and take care of her. But what I guess is that she and Alex have had some kind of a fall out.This is because she is happier and more talkative when with me but she mutes whenever Alex is around or even walks away. Whatever it is, I haven't asked because I know they will tell me when they are ready. We wanted Tessa to have more rest but she is a stubborn one. She is. She insisted on going back to work and since we spoil her, we agreed but on the condition that I take her and stay with her.
