ログインWalking through the forest was getting a tad boring. It’s not that it wasn’t pretty, it was just the same thing day after day.
Because I still couldn’t connect or feel my wolf, I started moving in the daytime. I wasn’t afraid of pack at this point. Logic said they thought I was dead and they weren’t looking for me.
Besides, moving at night put me as prey, not predator. I couldn’t see as well, my sense of direction was crap, and half the time m
The witch was in a holding cell on the other side of the building. When I went through the heavy iron door, she stopped her pacing to stare at me. Obviously, trying to size me up.“We’re not here to harm you,” she started, turning toward me and folding her arms across her chest.“I don’t know that,” I replied calmly. I didn’t have the ability to sense types of magick, but Zee could to some degree.What do you feel?No wolf, but there’s angry magick in there.Dangerous?I can’t tell.Thanks, Zee.“What is it you want?” I pushed, leaning back against the wall, crossing my arms over my own chest. Two could play at the dominance factor. I might not be able to control her like I do my Pack, but I could bring her to her knees, and being in a null cell, she couldn’t access magick to throw back at me.She hu
I turned in a circle, realizing this is the same place I’d been to in that dream I had. Except when did I fall asleep? I was sitting on the cot in the jail at Coralridge. I’d almost finished my turn when I saw Gabriel and the Wane girl… I mean Soraya, standing there.“What’s going on?”Gabriel motioned for me to shush. But why? “What kind of dream is this?”Gabriel looked at the ground and the Wane… Soraya’s hand covered her face, while shaking her head.“This is not a dream, wolf!” A thunderous voice sounded, causing me to jump.I turned in the direction of the voice and saw the same ethereal woman I saw in my dream and thought was Luna.“You’re real?” I asked.Gabriel shook his head, and Soraya looked at me and said, “Are you really that stupid?”I opened my mouth to refute what she just said, but before I could th
“A witch?” I scoffed. “You actually brought a witch to our gates? What are you cra… wait, what? She has visions?”I went right up to the cell’s bars and gripped the iron in my hands. I narrowed my eyes. “Heir? You think you have an heir? Fuck you, Lucien. You lost that right when you had me tortured. You stay away from our daughter. She will never be yours.”I wanted to be compassionate. Really, I did. But he just threatened to use Kali as his leverage to get Silverpine back. I pointed at Gabriel and I. “Never, we are her parents.”“I don’t want anything to do with your daughter.” Lucien stammered at me. “Soraya… please… understand.”“Understand what? That Silverpine is in the crapper because you let a bad wolf in a long time ago and it’s now coming to bite you in the ass?”“We didn’t ask to be magick
I couldn’t believe my ears. Lucien was being flippant with me? How dare he! I could hear my heart pounding in my ears as it beat hard against my chest.“You!” I yelled. “You’ve got to be… wait, what did you say?”He looked at me sideways, turning his head each way as if I looked different from one angle to the next.“Your eyes. They were silver. In the dungeon.” His voice held a bit of awe. He closed his eyes, and slowly shifted backward until his head fell back against the wall.I looked at Gabriel, who said nothing but held up a single finger, and not the middle one, that silently told me to wait.“Lucien, what do you remember?” Gabriel asked softly.“Wha…” I started, but Gabriel quic
I could tell the moment Bear fell asleep because the power barrier he held over the Pack House to protect me from myself dropped. I exhaled, freeing up all the pent-up energy from holding myself back from the competing Alpha energy inside my own home.I appreciated Bear’s efforts, even if it did rankle me at times.Sori came down to dinner after leaving Kali with one of the Wintermere women who had the patience of a saint. She was also almost deaf, so the screaming didn’t wear on her soul like it did ours.She seemed more like herself, joining in on the conversation as to why Timergen shouldn’t run back to the HC and wave the red flag.In the end he decided to hold back for now. He agreed that before we knew what we were up against the fewer the people that knew about LK being here at Coralridge the better.We had a much harder time convincing him that Lucien needed to stay where he was for the time being. Without the physical mar
I walked down the hallway toward our bedroom. I could hear Kali crying already, so I didn’t worry about silencing my footsteps. The door was locked, which surprised me.I knocked softly.Kali’s cries went from one side of the room to the other as Sori paced with her. The noise got louder as she approached the door.She looked tired and defeated when she opened the door. I got a forced smile and a chopped ‘hi’.“You okay?” I asked, reaching for her arm.She didn’t pull away, but she also didn’t lean into me.“Yeah, I just need to sort out my head,” she said sadly. “The whole debacle surfaced start to end, and it was too much.”I gently stroked her arm, not sure what to
One more contract, then I can call it a day. Although, work is keeping me busy and out of my head.My brain can’t seem to wrap itself around the conversation Seith and I had right before the ceremony dinner. Is Rodgrick trying to expand his territory into the Northern hemisphere?It
It was a quiet lunch with only Amyra and me at the table. Everyone else had their usual routines to go back to, now that the fanfare of my arrival dwindled.“Amyra, can I ask you more questions about the Luna-kissed thing?” I said betw
Some men that were helping to unload the boxes, followed us up the stairs.We stepped to the side and let them pass. They entered our bedroom and went straight to the alcove.I laughed because the littl
Gabriel drove us to the running grounds in some type of off-road contraption complete with oversized tires and seatbelts that came down over my head, not just across my lap.He drove with restraint; I could tell he wanted to open up th
