The goddess Bond Chapter 24
DAMIEN.I watch from the window as Fredja is escorted out of the premises by Lucas.A week.How am I going to stay sane for a week?How am I supposed to just watch her as she fights for her life and be completely useless to help her?“You are not useless,” my wolf says.“I beg to differ. Look at her,” I say as I turn to the bed. “She is fighting for her life and all I can do is sit around and feed her bitter concoctions. That is not enough.”“And what else can you do? You can't find the witch. You can't break the curse. All you can do, all we can do is offer her all the comfort we can. It doesn't make us weak, it just shows we are willing to do anything we can do to help, in any capacity we can. Don't take that for granted.”I sigh heavily at his words.“You are right. I know you are right. It is just… I have never felt this incompetent. It is like every time we come together, from the moment we first met, I just keep hurting her or something keeps keeping us divided,” I rant.“Hmm,

WILLOW.Craaash!“You need to call down,” the punk says as he sips his wine, ignoring my tantrum.“Easy for you to say!” I snap. “You are not the one whose powers are waning because of a useless brat!” I rant as I throw another vase against the wall.Once we had cleared up the clearing after self-sacrifice, he had booked for me a hotel close to the Varon pack, where I would be available when the notice for a witch is sent out.But nothing had been sent out!It has been three days already and the pack has been silent. Do they not know that she is running out of time? They are both running out of time.And because of the immense amount of power it took to create this spell, I too am running out of time.The thread on her would be weakening because of the spell.This is not how this was supposed to go.Why are they wasting time?!“Maybe they are still trying to figure it out,” my friend says. “You know with their healers and all that.”“Don't be silly. Damien is not an idiot. If he was,

DAMIEN.“What do you mean you were attacked?” u demand.“Can we at least go inside before we make a report?” Fredja asks. “Some of us are barely standing as it is.”I look over to her and see that indeed, they all look battered. Two of the women are leaning on each other, while the rest are on the floor.“Of course,” I say. “Please, come in.” Turning to Lucas, I ask. “Where are the witches you lost?”“In the back of the car. We couldn't leave them there.”I nod at his words as we all walk inside.“I will call for the pack healer,” I say as I turn to leave them settling in the sitting room.“No need,” Fredja says. “Just an empty room, a small mortar and pestle, and some hot water.”Right, witches.“Of course.”I walk out of the living room and head to the other wing of the mansion. The one where key, single members of the pack reside. Arriving at a red mahogany door, I knock and wait.In the span of two minutes, the door creaks open to reveal a pair of tired brown eyes that widen upon

DAMIEN.“What happened?” A voice sounds from behind us.I turn around to see Fredja standing behind me, eyes wide as she takes in the scene.“Oh shit,” she mutters.“You can say that again,” I mutter. “Can you explain this?” I ask her as I move for her to walk in.She moves past us and she gingerly approaches the scene before getting down to Pan. She places her index finger on his forehead and closes her eyes.For a few minutes, she stays like that, completely still before her eyes slowly flutter open.“Is he alive?” I ask worridly.“Thankfully, yes.”“Was it Willow again?” “No. He is just an idiot,” she answers before turning to me. “You didn't announce to the pack that you have found your mare and that it is Natalie?”“Uh, no. What does that have to do with this?” I wonder.“This young man has taken it upon himself to avenge your chosen mate, Maya. He believes that Natalie is an agent sent to cause confusion and mayhem in your pack. He came to kill her, believing himself righteous
The goddess Bond Chapter 28
NATALIE.It takes a while for me to fight through t&e murky haze that surrounded me. A haze filled with pain and screams, screams that didn't just belong to me.There was another girl here, her cries and pleas were much more unbearable than the pain itself.Why did she have to die?What did she do?She hadn't even started to live.All these were her thoughts that echoed through the haze.I didn't have an answer to give her. I didn't even know her but one thing I am sure of, Willow was the one who did this.She had died because of me.And u could offer her no comfort, not when I myself, am reliving the pain.Her pain.Over and over again.This is what she went through when she was dying.It is gruesome. Horrific.Only a monster us capable of doing something this evil.For what feels like year's, I gloat in the haze, over it, under it.Just existing in a myriad of screams and pain.No end in sight but unwilling to give in and drown.And then one day, it changed.Her voice was still ther

NATALIE.I watch in quiet amusement as Damien hovers and fidgets over Elias as he examines me. He is almost jumping out of his skin with nerves, his eyes tracking his every movement with hawk-eye diligence.Elias raises his head as he sets down his instruments before looking at me and breaking into a small smile.“You are as healthy as anyone can possibly be,” he announces.“Really?” I ask skeptically. “Anyone? Have you forgotten what you said about me the last time?”“I know. Which is why this is so strange, but then I suppose when witches are involved..” -a side eye at Fredja who is standing by the door observing- “...weird things are bound to happen. ““Can you be more specific?” Damien asks. “What exactly has changed?”“Well, for one, her healing has sped up. Exponentially. Whatever was hindering your wolf from helping before is gone.”“Of course, it is,” Fredja says, interrupting him. “The thread connecting you and Fredja is gone. That means whatever spell she had made with you
The goddess Bond Chapter 30
DAMIEN.I stare in undisguised shock at Natalie’s wolf. It is massive.Nearly equal to my own size, which doesn't make sense.I am an Alpha, we are naturally meant to have an edge against all other wolves. Hence, there is a certain size that only we can achieve.It doesn't matter how hard you train, or how strong your wolf is, you can't reach our size.So what is this I am looking at now? I swear if I changed right now, we would be at the same height.“Um, Alpha,” Lucas whispers. Which is stupid, everyone can hear him, we are all supernaturals. We all have sensitive hearing.“What?” I answer.“You can see what I am seeing right?”“Everyone can see it, Lucas.”He is quiet for a few seconds before he speaks up again, this time, through the mind link.“She was kidnapped,” he says.“What?”“As a baby, she was kidnapped,” he repeats.“Yes, I am aware. What is your point?”“Do we know of any Alphas that had their child kidnapped as a baby?”I whip my face to the side to look at him. That i
The goddess Bond Chapter 32
NATALIE.I want to believe him. I really do.He sits there looking at me earnestly as he makes these promises but I know it's not that easy.Not as he makes it out to be.I believe that he wants me. That he might even love me. But that doesn't erase the years and experiences he has had with Maya. It doesn't change the fact that he felt most comfortable with taking her as a mate.He chose her.And yes, I know he had no other alternative but still…It hits differently when you know that if there wasn't a mate bond, if there was nothing tying us together, Maya is the one he would have chosen. They would have been perfect together.And I don't know how to deal with that.Oh, why did he have to settle? Why didn't he just wait?The question surprises me this time, because of the anger I feel at it. The resentment.I… I resent him.That doesn't even make sense! It is not his fault, he had tried, he-“Natalie?” his voice breaks through my spiraling thoughts.“Hmm?”“Are you alright?”“Ye
