“Can you guys not feel other people’s emotions???" My heart was racing as I stared at Kal waiting on a reaction.
"Umm...." Nicholi interrupted, "I feel violated," he smirked at me as Eathen shoved him for making jokes.
Kal stroked his hand down my face, drawing my attention back to him, his voice was deep but soft again, "I can feel the sparks,” he cupped my face with his hand, “just like I can feel your body react to mine.”
He adjusted the ice on my ribs and I winced a little, “I can feel when you're in pain, like when you cracked a rib hitting the mat, or when your anger was painful to you.” I could feel his sadness wash over me gently as my own guilt grew, he was protecting me when I didn’t realize I fractured something, not hindering my training because of his emotions.
He lifted my chin so I was looking at him again, his voice was softer than I had ever heard it be, his words came out cautiously like th

Kal paused briefly to look at me, my eyes were filled with tears for him and what he went through, then continued.“I will never tell another person, and it will never get out. No one but you and I know the real truth my love, and that is that I don’t think it was me that killed the rogue. Someone else had to have been there, to have helped in passing, but I will never know. It’s what my legacy is built on, what my people believe, and what makes them believe in me as their protector - along with events that came about as I aged, that corroborated that story." His voice was steady, but I could tell he was nervous, embarrassed slightly, even with the conviction of his choices mirroring his words.He took my face in his hand, “That story was the only secret I had to share with you, and it doesn’t change how you feel about me, does it?” His voice was sure, like he was making a point, but I could tell he was apprehensive for my answ

Kal covered my mouth with his hands and my heart sank, I knew this would be too much for him. I just stared into his eyes as he tried to process what I told him, my lungs felt as though they couldn't inhale as I waited to hear his voice and my tears streamed down, and over his hand against my lips.His chest rumbled beneath me and I could see Saber’s bright green hue’s trying to swirl in as Kal’s voice somehow came out steady, grounding me to a state of peace.“I will never leave you, and you will never be without me." His first words made me instantly cry harder in relief, his voice was so sure that I listened attentively for more."We will figure this out together and get through it together. We may have been drawn together by the mate bond, but that’s because we complete each other,” his face tensed, “even IF anything were to happen to that mate bond, you were still meant for me.”He lifted me up so that

My heat.I didn’t pay much attention to the subject growing up, but it was always described to us as something that happens after you’ve been marked. My mom told me it varies all the time, sometimes days, sometimes up to a year, but it drives a female mad with lust, unable to control who she lets mate with her.It could even draw unmated males to her if her own mate is no where near, though it was meant to ensure an heir is produced, the heat lowering her inhibitions so that the mating process would be completed if for some reason it hadn't been, allowing the bond to take full effect. In the end, it essentially forced her hand into the bond and had always seemed barbaric to me, but it's why most Alpha's would mark their mates immediately regardless of consent.“She won’t be away from my side Eathen,” Kal seemed agitated at the thought. It was like Eathen expected his response, and it wasn't the real reason he was feeling cauti

Elle sat there piecing it all together, she wasn’t there and wasn’t privy to the conversation the boys had with me the night before, but she seemed to be taking it better than them.“Elle and Nicholi will stay here,” Kal announced as he smirked, “you two have a Luna Ceremony to plan for when we return, in four days.”Elle was clapping her hands together and squealing as I snapped my head in Kal’s direction, was he serious? That wasn’t much time at all, and we would need that just to travel.He smiled as he squeezed my hand, “We are only spending two days travelling, they will be long, but doable, and we only need one day there,” his voice tried to soothe me but his tone was serious, “we can’t be gone long Octavia, just enough time for you to find your necklace, it’s risky to leave at all.” I wish we had more time to stay and visit but I understood and nodded.When Kal had

Only a few minutes later I spotted a car parked on the side of the road, Theo!My heart started racing as we pulled closer, he was standing out there waiting for me and I couldn't contain myself as the SUV rolled to a stop and his silver eyes practically pulled me from the car.I don't even think the car had completely stopped when I ran from it and thumped straight into his hard chest, swooping myself under his arms, squeezing him as tight as I could. The tears streamed down my face as I took in his deep citrus scent, but his tense arms pulled me back by my shoulders as a low rumble from Kal erupted behind us that I ignored.He was searching my face and I realized he thought I was in trouble, he hadn't seen me since Kal took me home and he was taking in my marked neck and my tears with caution."I'm fine Theo, really, I just missed you... hug me back!" My voice rang out in frustration.I was annoyed at his resistance, but he instantly brought me i

I turned to meet Eathen’s smirk, as I took Kal’s arm, and we made our way to the table.Theo sat across from Kal, I took my seat to Kal's left but was surprised when Eathen sat to my left. Theo's silver eyes weren't straying from Kal, but Troy's face flashed a bit of confusion.Troy would have sat two seats to Theo's left, placing him across from our Gamma, if we had brought him. He paused briefly before Theo likely linked him, and told him where to sit, which was across from Eathen.I found it hard not to say anything as my parents sat at the ends of the table. Eathen's amusement was light in the air, and I was trying to piece it together, because this was clearly another attempt at having the upper hand, which was uncalled for here. Sitting this way would show them my hierarchy, without having to say it out loud, as we were all seated on the same side of Kal, and Eathen was after me. But why was Eathen amused?Kal's voice broke t

Theo wouldn't be so easily convinced, he knew that we grew up learning how to put on a brave face, and that my mother had been preparing me to be someone's Luna just in case. He watched Kal's movements, and mine, but I knew that Kal was watching him as well, and Theo was only seeing what Kal wanted him to, not there was anything to hide."I hope you don't mind Octavia, but we've placed your rooms a few floors above your old room, it's where all the visiting Alpha's usually stay with their company," Theo's voice rang out."That's fine Theo," I smiled, "I'll have to slip down to my old room tomorrow though and grab a few things that got left behind."He nodded, "Troy will show you up, you're welcome to walk around freely, and there will be breakfast ready in the morning so feel free to go down and help yourselves," he winked at me."Theo, are you serious?!" I shouted a little too enthusiastically happy, startling everyone else as I anxiously awaited h

I woke up Kal pretty early, dragging him to get dressed and out of the room as he took his sweet time on purpose."Kal please..." I whined, "you're gonna force me to leave you behind." I should have said that farther away from him, his arm flawlessly snagged me into him as his amusement in my suffering escalated.We walked past Eathen's room, and he was already standing against his door in the hallway waiting. "Finally... someone gets it!" I huffed.He licked his lips, "Oh, I've already been there," he smirked."Lies!" I spat at him, "Right???" I was panicked at this point and Eathen reveled in it as he filled the hallways with his laughter."Kal!" I pouted, and he half tripped Eathen for me."He's kidding my love," Kal tried to calm me as I was attempting to drag him down the hall and he shot Eathen looks.The smell hit me, and I couldn't control my stomach letting out a hunger growl, I snatched a few muffins from the counter, biting
