The Cursed Bond 23
LUCY I had a vision of Devon's sister being held captive. I didn't know she was Devon's sister, nor did I understand the significance of the vision. I let it go, but when Damon called to tell me what had happened, I felt sick. I knew this was tied to us somehow. I was just too tired to put it together. This baby was killing me. I was a week overdue. After everyone left, I went to bed. I needed to lie down and put my feet up. I had been having Braxton hicks all week. This baby was coming, and soon. I drifted off to sleep and seemed to wake up when my phone buzzed like crazy. Thirty missed notifications. I opened my phone and called Damon back. "Angel, are you ok?" "yes, I am fine. Why?" "You aren't in any pain?" "I am always in pain, what's going on?" "I felt an awful pain in my back. I worried you had fallen. Ellen and Lanie are on their way to you now. I’ll be back when I can.” I swung my legs over the side and stood up. “Omg,” I think. I peed my pants. “What, Angel? What’s w
The Cursed Bond 1
VICTORIA My name is Victoria Nash. I am the WereWitch born to the Alpha. My grandfather hates me and what I stand for. Weakness-Fear-a diluted Alpha Bloodline because my mother wasn't even an Omega. Just a half-breed witch sister to the oracle though no one but I and Esmerelda know that fact. I am usually pretty good at hiding away from him when he is in the packhouse. Today though, something must have made him more angry than usual because he is out for blood. My blood. I'm not old enough to have my wolf healing yet, but I can heal myself with the magic, only it wears me out, and I can't run away from him fast enough. I just need to stay hidden until he calms down. I count the tiles on the roof of the wine cellar. I can feel myself start to calm down. Slowing my heart rate, so he doesn't hear my heart beating—fear coursing through my body. A fear so potent it makes your teeth hurt. I listen as he walks past the door. He stops, and I hold my breath. I hear the handle turning and b
The Cursed Bond 2
VICTORIA I ran so fast I could feel the beating of my pulse in my ears. I had used magic, and he found out. I ran through the trees jumping over logs and dodging rocks. I was in my pyjama bottoms and a tank top, but he had beaten me so badly I had to use a little magic to heal my broken bones before they set. He had come into my room when he smelt my magic being used. The thing with my kind is magic leaves a metal-coppery smell in the air. Only strong Alpha's could smell it when not close by, but as if he knew I would try and heal myself after he broke my leg, he was there in the doorway of my room. He backhanded me across the face, and I flew into my dresser. I grabbed my silver letter opener and stabbed it in his leg, a roar so loud it shook my room. I darted past him and into the hallway. I just needed to make it to Damon's room, but as I neared his door. I remembered he was away at Alpha training. Damn it! I ran down the stairs and out of the packhouse. I needed to make it to the
The Cursed Bond 3
VICTORIA It had been months since my last nightmare. Since that night, Oliver had climbed into my bed like the brother I missed so desperately and just held my hand. Similar to the way Damon had. I had watched the warriors of our pack training, but it was nothing like what we did at Artamas. I was beaten daily by full-grown wolves, werebears, vampires, creatures I didn't know existed. There was a girl in the room next to mine who was a vampire witch. I didn't think those could exist. Witches were natural beings. They used life, the earth, to gain power, but vampires were dead and evil and the opposite. They had to kill to become more powerful. I guess nothing in this world is ever the way it seems. I stood in the shower of the change room after training and watched the blood from my wounds wash down the drain. I wondered what Damon was doing? If he knew where I actually was or just that I was at my fancy school. I turned the tap off and went to get dressed. I had history of ancient
The Cursed Bond 4
MATICE I hated Cassandra. I hated how she hung all over Oliver. I hated how everyone looked at her like she was perfect because she was the last of her kind. I hated how nasty she was to the younger girls. Why did she have to make them feel so low? She was the lowest of low. It was totally worth being dropped into the pit for two days. Watching her run from the dining room covered in ketchup. I had to let VIctoria know I had her back. I had always kept my distance. I didn't want Lucian to punish her for my bad behaviour. They like to break us that way. Hurt the ones he cared about. That is why I only got close to Oliver and Anton. They could handle their own. Victoria was sweet. Oliver told me how her Grandfather Thadeus abused her. He founded the school and dropped her here as soon as her guardian would let him. The oracle for this continent had a special connection to her. That was not often oracled bonded to wolves or witches for that matter, and Victoria was both. She didn't know
The Cursed Bond 5
VICTORIA It was my birthday today, and I was so excited to see Damon and my little sister Hanna I had only met her a few times as she was a few years younger than me. Thadeus was driving us to the packhouse. I was forbidden to see Esmerelda. He said there would be consequences if I tried to reach out to her in any capacity. I was just happy to be free of Artamas for a week. For a whole week of freedom, I just had to stay away from Thadeus when he was in a mood. He was an excellent faker, pretending to be this loving, caring grandfather and Alpha around the pack, but people inside the packhouse knew. I was shown to my new room. It was in the tower on the other side of the castle-like packhouse, far away from Damon and Hanna. I knew it was because he had spelled it so that I couldn't use any magic. Also, I couldn't escape. It was the same as the last time I visited. Thadeus and told everyone it was because school was so intense I needed the silence, a break far from everyone. The one
The Cursed Bond 6
VICTORIA It was past 3 am when I finally shifted, Zarina was fast, and I could tell she was black in colour from looking at my paws. I wish I could see what she looked like in a mirror, but I wasn't going to get that chance. I needed to sneak back into my room. It was way too late to be out for a stroll. I felt like a criminal creeping back into my room. One of the perks I learned at Artamas is how to be invisible. I crept back to my room and closed the door. I got into my nightclothes, and before I could drift off, Zarina spoke to me. "Good night, precious girl. I will always take care of you." Before I could even respond, I was asleep. I don't know how long I was sleeping, definitely not long enough when Zarina urged me to wake up. I opened my eyes, and Thadeus sat in a chair at the end of my bed, watching me. "Good, you are awake. I wanted you to take your punishment for disobeying me while awake to remember why you don't ever disobey me." There was an evil glint in his eye
The Cursed Bond 7
Years laterVICTORIA Oliver and I sat outside a high school watching two students. They were sitting on a picnic table laughing. I thought it was a weird assignment. We don't usually target minors unless they are deemed dangerous or out of control. These kids seemed normal I couldn't sense any magic, so they weren't supernatural. I never questioned Anton. He sent Oliver and me on this mission. Surveillance only. Anton and Marcus had taken over leadership of Artamas and changed the name to Blood Moon Assassins. Anton was a good leader, and Marcus was a nice enough guy for a man who allowed children to be stolen and purchased for their abilities.We knew never to cross him. Even Anton didn't question Marcus. They kept Lucian on as the lead henchman, and it took everything inside me not to kill him. We still hunted dangerous supernatural beings and creatures that escape from the depths of places worse than hell, but with a new name and new types of missions. The "school" still owned us.
