The helipad was soon surrounded by armed men as soon as it touched the ground. The look on their faces was both curious and doubtful.Standing alert, they waited to see who it would be, their stance only relaxing after seeing a familiar face emerging out.Dominik got off and straightened his suit. Offering his gentlemanly hand to her mate, he slowly guided her way down. Aria's smile widened, appreciating the gesture.“Welcome to my home.” He said to her, his dark eyes searching for her blue ones.Aria only smiled in response, her cheeks dipping as she did so.The couple didn't have much luggages. Two small suitcases for each one of them and that was about it. Dominik had not intended to be late in visiting his brother whom he was indebted for saving his mate's life.The last time he saw Jordan was the day Beta Grigor and his father had taken him away from his house before the police arrived at the bloody scene. Being stuck in a hospital bed as he waited for his wound to heal, he coul
Selly emerged from the pond, covered in mud and whatnot. A wide triumphant grin across her face and a 30+ inch long fish in her grasp.She had been lucky to have stepped on it while she was trying to catch the smaller ones.Leeches stuck on her pale skin, feeding on her rare blood.Slugs left their slimes on her.Yuck! She shook her leg trying to get rid of them but these little slimy creatures weren't called leeches for the sake of it, they lived up to their name. They refused to fall off her. After trying for a couple times without success, she gave up. Let them be. She would deal with them later.Giving the fish one final dip, she was satisfied with how clean it looked now.It wasn't squeaky clean like she would have prefered but that would do.It wasn't like she had any other option. Dig up a well and never have to worry about water ever again, oh! she wished.Having managed to take a couple sips in the less dirty part of the pond, or so she thought, her thirst was quenched and s
When Selly finally managed to catch a little sleep, the nightmares tormented her soul.Needless to say, she couldn't even remember the bad dream she had. Only that her heart was in pain as if she lost something of value. No! not a materialistic belonging but someone…important.Sitting on her bed made of dried grass, she wiped her eyes of the remnants of tears she wasn't aware of.“Must have been intense.” She told herself.There was no time for self-pity when one didn't even know their name.The sooner she got going, the better. Lest she wished to starve, which she was not.Surprisingly, she could hear birds chirping.“What is so beautiful for them to be singing so loudly?” she cursed. “Hello! I am stranded here!” She shouted at them as if they could understand her language. Wait a minute, covering her modesty, she rushed outside with her heart banging.The change she had hoped for just vanished. She had looked forward to her reality being a bad dream but here she was, staring at th
[Mother.] Jordan's called through the mind-link.Collette almost collapsed to the ground. Her eyes went wide and so were Lewis’s. “This is impossible.” She muttered.[Mother...] He called again. [It hurts.] He admitted. Collette's body swayed and Lewis quickly caught her, securing her weak form in his strong arms.His mate had been losing strength quite often lately and it worried him. He just hoped it wasn't anything serious but stress.Jordan had never mind-linked before.Even after his twin brother had shifted early on, at seventeen, he couldn't.And when Dominik had smelled and found his mate, he had remained miserable. Lonely. Useless. Although no one publicly bullied him for lacking the attributes of a werewolf, no one respected him either. In the world of shifters, respect wasn't inherited, it was earned. A right only reserved for the most ruthless. The strongest and feared ones.“Weakling.” The pack members had always whispered behind closed doors. The little considerat
“Take me to my son, Lewis.” Luna Collette's voice went up. A pitch higher. Tired of letting her mate decide things for her.“That I will.”“Let's go now.” She insisted.“Just a small detail before we head… home…”Collette's face fell. “You lied to me.”Lewis was quick to explain, “No. I swear.”“If not then why are you hesitating? Why keep another detail hidden when I have waited for far too long to hug my son. Ease his pain?”“I didn't lie. I can not do that to you.”Collette scoffed, “you have done worse.”Lewis didn't have to ask to know what she was talking about. He was well aware that she was angry at him for tying her up and locking her inside like a prisoner which was, after all, for her own safety. “I apologize.”“Treating me like a child,” She counted, “locking me inside like I am a danger to society…”“It's not like that.”“It sure isn't. Who would have thought that there would come a day when you would…”Lewis didn't dare raise his head, “I was only looking out for you.”
After having managed to kidnap her and disturbed the little hope she had built for herself when she thought that she would finally be free, the three strangers hopped in their car and left without another word.Selly, who was still trying to figure out her new environment and the fact that she couldn't remember a thing about herself didn't notice that her captors had already left.She was left alone and fate was about to play a sick joke with her life. One that she wouldn't accept if she were made aware of.The cottage looked as old as time itself. Barely hanging on. The dirt didn't do much to help with the shock.“Who am I?” She asked herself aloud. How come she didn't remember herself? Something convinced her that it was but a bad dream. One that she was eager to wake up from.Having no recollection of who she was was scarier than anything she knew at the moment. How was she supposed to navigate through life without a single clue about her very own identity?Yet, at the far and hi
