LOGINSpecial shout-out to a gem voter and magical reader, Janine Edmonds☄️❤️ Tracy will soon be finally defeated and I am so excited for it! Drop a "❤️" in the comments if you are too🫰🏾✨
The Moonveil Alpha's eyebrows rise slightly and he directs his gaze to me."You concealed yourself?"Seren doesn't let me respond. She cuts in sharply, "She concealed herself from all three of us. Whatever she did was strong enough to hide herself completely, and that kind of... trickery? THAT KIND OF DECEPTION IS ENOUGH TO ENDANGER THE PACK.I suggest we kick her out."For the first time today my heart actually jolts from shock and fear.I haven't even spent a whole day here and she's trying to get me kicked out?When I look at Seren now, it's hard not to see someone who acts exactly like Tracy, even though she looks nothing like her. It seems behind that pretty face is a heart that's set to antagonize me. If I had known someone like her was here, I would have never made the Moonveil pack my next stop."It's not our culture to throw out people we granted refuge, Seren."The Alpha sounds totally calm but when he looks at me again there's a stony look in his eyes."What did you say you
Seren doesn't give me a response to that.She only turns around, walking away as she growls, "You're coming with us.No one's telling you anything, and that includes you two."The male warriors exchange twin looks of amusement, a slight rise in the corner of their lips as they watch her walk off. I sigh, and follow behind, trying and failing not to let my temper get the best of me.The walk back to the pack is silent yet tense.The large male warriors are silent on their feet, but they're not silent in the way they watch me. Their gazes burn into my neck, into the crook of my thighs, into the skin of my back as the coat rides low on my shoulders. I'm basically traipsing around in nothing but my underwear here, and they're making sure they take their darned precious time to look.I turn back sharply and meet burning green and ash eyes looking back hard at me. With a scowl I bite out, "See anything you like?"They both wear matching cocky grins as they growl back, "A lot."I do it befor
I get up from the floor slowly and put on my coat. I don't bother wrapping it tightly around myself like I did when I left the cottage this morning, I let it hang loosely, not bothering about the flashes of skin that show but instead focusing my intent on the barrier instead.Calling back my magic isn't as easy as breathing it out."The spell is done. The dome can fall."I chant the words softly under my breath, watching the colors and threads around me pulse with the command, unraveling as they come apart.The trees I used as anchors shake lightly, the leaves rustling as if blown by a soft wind as the barriers I placed come crashing down.Nothing changes for me. I still see the forest and the trees, but the barriers were never meant to make anyone else invisible from me.They were meant to keep me hidden from everyone else, and that's exactly what they did.Seren is the one who lunges at me first.I see the moment she turns and catches her first glimpse of me. The next moment her for
The urge to open my eyes fills me strongly, If only so I can ask with my eyes fully open, if what she's saying is true. Is my baby really going to be a girl?My heart pounds heavily in my chest as emotions I can't name run through me. I... I didn't think this was the way I would find out the gender of my child.A part of me is glad to know I'll be having a baby girl...A part of me is in love with her already....There's also another part of me that's worried about what's just been said about my child. Still with my eyes closed I ask, "What do you mean she's decided she wants to come faster?"The woman with suns for eyes steps closer and the space between us hums as she responds, "Your child's witch bloodline is awakening before birth."A chill runs down my spine.All the knowledge I got after my awakening tells me there's no way that could be possible. It can't be.Every descendant of a witch bloodline only has their awakening when they have come of age. Until then, a witch is as nor
My magic rises from deep within me, smoother than it ever has before. Like it has been waiting for me to call it, magic flares from me in controlled amounts.Gold and white light flickers at the edges of my vision as I lift my hands and each wave I release works to follow the things I draw in the air, "Conceal me."Sigils form in the air beneath my fingers."Send prying eyes away."The words leave my lips firmly and magic answers back. It ripples outward, spreading through the trees like a blast of wind."Protect me. Protect my child."This time the magic doesn't just ripple, it surges, blowing out in a wave of gold and white light.The sigils I've drawn ignite faintly in silver before dissolving into the air around me.As I repeat the enchantments to send everyone and everything around me away, my heart calms down slowly.My magic flows all over the space around me and when it gets to the trees, they tremble slightly, my magic informing me that I have now used them as anchors. Golden
I wake the next morning and the first thing I notice is the weight.hMy stomach feels heavier. Much heavier.My hand flies to it before my eyes are even fully open and by touch alone, I can tell I'm not hallucinating this. The curve beneath my palm feels bigger and tighter, like my skin has stretched overnight.I sit up too quickly and a sharp pull runs through my abdomen. It immediately squeezes a wince from me and I sit, gripping the edge of the bed until the pain fades.A slow breath leaves my lips when it finally dissolves but the suspicion I slept with last night now finds words. I whisper into the empty cabin room, "This isn't normal."I stand, moving straight to the small mirror across the room.This is the first time I'm looking at myself since I left the Silvercrest pack last night and it hasn't been a day since, yet the woman staring back at me already looks different from the one who arrived at the Moonveil borders last night. Overdressed and pregnant.For one, my stomach ha
Destiny’s pov.The world in front of me tilts, like someone made the earth flat and I just fell off the edge.The first thing I feel when I crash into the lake is the cold. The bone biting chilly cold of the lake closes around me like a fist, dragging me down and ripping the air from my lungs.I c
I don't go back on my word because of what happened last night.By afternoon my bag is packed and sitting by the door of the packhouse. I stand there for a moment longer than necessary, staring at it like I expect it to speak to me, or tell me this is silly, but it doesn't. The decision in my hear
Coren’s pov.I don't want Destiny to ever leave me, and I'll do anything I can to make her stay.The thought rolls around in my head as I watch her in the kitchen, apron wrapped tightly around her waist, caramel brown hair slung up in a low bun, and aromas wafting around her like a soft aura.The m
Tristan’s pov."Hold still."Jack winces in pain as I dab some ointment onto his bruised knee. As I clean, I make a silent assessment of his body.Apart from the dirt on his shirt, the shallow cuts around his legs and knees, slightly swollen eyes from crying... There's nothing to indicate he was be
