The bathroom was in the hallway behind a closed door to the dining room. It was full of doors to priestess rooms and there was a bathroom in the middle luckily the kitchen was on the other side where the priestess was cooking and prepping for the meal. I walked quickly and did not say a word as I was unsure of what to say to Rogan at this moment. âHey wait up, little priestess.â His hand reached for mine from behind and I snapped my hand up to my chest before he could get a good hold. âWell, that wasnât very nice, âhe pouted. We arrived at the other side of the door and I folded my arms leaning on the other side so he could open it freely. âHere you are future alpha, do you need me to wait so you donât get lost?â I glared at him trying to ignore the fantastic smell of his cologne and his chiseled smile looking me over. He reached out to the top of where my arm was showing and traced his finger down. âAre you going to tell me why you are so angry and not at all excited I
Christ this woman was more nuts than I had realized! She was going to keep Kellina tied up in the basement if you werenât careful about the words you spoke! Not let her go back to school! I mean it was one more week and we would be done then two more weeks before my birthday. That was three weeks without her and I couldnât make it a fucking day! I thought I had a good plan when I had put into my fatherâs mind that as I was coming of age that we needed to start visiting all the houses and how we should start with the white wolves with their special ceremony coming up. I needed to get to Kellina and it was my only idea and I thought it had been working well with our quick bathroom break I felt her kiss me and I knew deep down she wouldnât give up on us but three weeks away before Iâd ever have power to get her out of this stupid white wolvesâ house, fuck, it was too much! I was grateful that my mother deflected and they began distracting themselves speaking of the charm of the
Kellina was nervous and excited twirling her bracelet Rogan had given her as her mind faded away while the Alphas and the High Priestess spoke to each other. In some ways, she knew it was a good thing if the alpha family came and especially Rogan, but she wasnât even sure what her wolf would look like. What if Rogan didnât like her? What if she wasnât ready for all of what was to become? If only there was a way for her to just hide in the woods and have her birthday all by herself so she could decide when everyone got to see her. Now it was turning into more of an intimidating moment with the Alpha family now being present. His breath behind me sent chills went down my spine, âI like that bracelet on you.â I could hear the smirk in his deep voice. I turned to him taking him in and then surveying the scene to assure nobody was listening. âWhy are you doing this?â Roganâs hand went up to brush a hair from her face but she backed away subtly because it would be far
The breeze was cool and I was grateful as it allowed me to calm myself as we strode along making our way down and over closer to home. For the last 100 feet, she didnât speak and I waited as I knew my mother was gathering her thoughts and looking back maybe making it so we werenât in earshot of anyone especially anyone who would be listening to that would report to the High Priestess. I tried to gather my thoughts and prepared for her questions. âSo are you going to tell me?â She finally glanced over at me and I speed up my walk to match hers. I decided to play dumb as the best first option. âIâm not sure what you mean mom.â I shrugged my shoulders and took in her dark brown eyes staring at me. My mom was truly an amazing woman and beautiful too. She was so comforting and warm and I was grateful she had picked up on what might be happening rather than my father who would have been furious I was even engaging another person before I was for sure they were my mate. âRogan, ar
I did my best to keep walking and prayed -to the goddess that I could just get to my room without her saying a word. I was through the entrance and making my way through the formal greeting area. âStop!â She yelled and I froze at the impact of the words. I slowly turned around to see her face redonned with fury. Red like I had never seen and I could see Lauraâs face behind me frightened as I was with the anger she yelled, âKellina sit down now.â I am still as I possibly could while still moving made it to the chair next to me and used the armchair for grip and strength. She came up to me her eyes directly on my face looking at me all over as if she was trying to see more than was there. I was terrified but my wolf was desperately trying to get me to rage which I was able due to my fear silence my wolf and put it in a block of ice until this was over. I looked up to meet eyes with her. I felt like she stared me up and down for hours but was likely more like seconds. âTell me rig
My head was spinning of all I had witnessed. I realized this evening that I should have been so much better to my fellow priestesses for so long and I regretted it all. I made a new proclamation to myself to take more notice of all of them and truly get to know their spirits in their hearts. I was even more grateful for Laura, Caroline, and even Sophia for being so brave. We agreed to speak further after my birthday ceremony and Iâd hoped I could match up to all of their dreams of who my wolf could be. I was getting more nervous by the minute and thought Laura could be crazy for thinking my wolf would be powerful because after that slap by her, The High Priestess, I felt like anything could break me. I rubbed my cheek thinking to myself and looking towards the time as it got closer to midnight. Was I really brave enough to go out to the garden and meet Rogan and goddess help me if we were spotted? Still, I did want to see him and longed to thank him for all he had done fo
My heart was full and enthralled with her porcelain skin and her fingers tantalizing my body as she became a braver explorer. I took in her words deeply and concerning. She was so worried and my anger was intense at how the high priestess had treated her let alone slapped her. I had to admit I hadnât thought my statements were that surprising that she would in the end take it out on Kellina. I had to be more careful with my words and actions around her because nothing in me could bare the idea again of me being the reason she was hurt or upset. It killed my entire insides but I knew we didnât have the time nor the luxury of me acting on any of it. Instead, I took her in as she stood there in the moonlight with beautiful tendrils of hair escaping her usually down hair almost past her small slender butt. I was desperate to squeeze it and run my fingers through that untamed hair, but she had made it clear I needed to keep my distance. I should have paid closer attention to
The house was a buzz when I woke up even though it was early in the morning. I went out to the kitchen and was greeted by so many of those Iâd spoken to the night before. Sophia gave me a small wink from over by the sink and I realized that there was so much more to these women. Laura was there putting together what looked like a breakfast sandwich and my mouth watered. She motioned me to come over and I complied. âHere I was making this for you.â She smiled. I took a look and knew she had paid attention to me all these years. It was a fried egg with crips bacon smothered in cheese topped off with toasted honey wheat bread. âOh my goodness thank you! I am starving!â âI had no doubt. You had a very active day.â She winked at me with all of our secrets shared in our eyes. I took a bite letting the cheese and flavors sizzle in my mouth as she chuckled beside me. âSo what is on the agenda today.â Laura straightened up, âRight, last dress fitting, then perhaps
