Putting Demons to Rest
“Are you sure about this?”
Jay’s voice stirs me awake as I find him not in the bed with me. It’s late, and we had gone to bed together, so he should have been in bed still. I frown as I get out of bed, but pause as I hear Bucky’s voice join in with my mates.
“It’ll be safer for you,” he mumbles. He doesn’t sound happy at all. “I don’t know what attracted the demon spirits to her, or if that was a familiar or the demon’s work that helped her escape. What I do know is that she will go mad if she gives in to the whispers. They want her to harm anyone and anything. Including you. She might not have the ability to ignore them for too much longer.”
“She’d never hurt me!” Jay’s voice sounds firm, but I can tell from the subtle hitch in his tone that he is anxious.

Wed to the Alpha The Prophecy
For what feels like days, when it has only been two at most, Bucky has been sitting in the middle of his meditation circle. I do not know what he is doing, but whatever it is, he requested me to allow the silence to wash over me. I don’t need to meditate, but he said being relaxed and quiet might keep the demonic spirits from being excitable. I admit, the whispering has become less frequent lately, but they haven’t gone entirely. I’m not sure what to make of it all and by all accounts, I should have lost my mind during the first time they showed up. Perhaps it was never an instant thing? Even Bucky can’t know everything. Looking out the window, I can’t help but miss Jay and the rest of the pack. I’ve been speaking with Jay through the mindlink, so it has been less lonely, but nothing compares to his warmth and the feeling of being safe. I absently put another
Wed to the Alpha Mountain Journey
After a while of Bucky looking for me, and me making sure the Alpha has gone, I come out of my hiding spot. He seems relieved to see me again and slumps down on the floor. I crack a small grin at him and motion to the herbs and things that I had shared a space with.“Ah. No wonder,” Bucky chuckles. “He would have seen and caught you had you fled out a window. Quick thinking. I never thought he would show up like that,” he admits with a shake of his head.“Me either.” I glance out the window to the once more still countryside. “What he said, is it true? Is there some legend or myth that says I will hurt everyone around me?”Bucky joins me and shrugs. “There might be, but it is no doubt a self-fulfilling prophecy. That is the issue with things like that. The more y
Wed to the Alpha Foggy Soup Forest
‘Return. Burn all’The whispers wake me up. I look around quickly, then realising no one is there, I sigh and shake my head. I refuse to listen to them. There is nothing that could make me do what they suggest. They’re persistent, that’s for sure. Looking up, I notice the sun has moved to a much more comfortable position in the sky and so I continue my journey up the mountain.The snow crunches between my paws. It feels strange at first, but I get used to the feeling soon enough. I am starting to feel a little hungry. I take a moment to survey my surroundings. If I go any higher, then there might be nothing to hunt and eat. I decided to take care of that before continuing with my journey. Thanks to Darnell for teaching me how to survive as a wolf during the times I am stuck in the wilderness.
Wed to the Alpha Follow the Bird
The forest is as foggy as it had appeared to be from the position on the mountain. Perhaps even more so. I had to rely heavily on all of my senses as a wolf to navigate my way through the place. The feeling of me not belonging here grew stronger with each passing moment, but the whispering voices grew ever quieter the deeper in I travelled. It was a surreal feeling of anxiety and peace merged into one whole.I wasn’t sure of the direction I needed to head in, so I allowed my feet to take me wherever felt right. There were no distinctive markings or paths and even if there had been, the forest had long since destroyed anything. If I was close enough, there would be at least something that resembled the remains of a castle, though… right?Lumi is pretty silent as I travel through the forest. The sense of not belonging there seems to make her uncomfor
Wed to the Alpha Writing Desk Raven
As I make my way inside what is left of the inner castle grounds, I find myself drawn into one particular room. Unlike the others, this one is almost fully intact still, but the darkness within makes it difficult to see until my eyes have fully adjusted.I’m in what used to be the throne room, it seems. A large chair made of stone sits upon a raised platform of sorts with two smaller thrones sit either side of it. The drapes have mostly been eaten away by moths or plucked by birds, and the fabric is quite faded, but I can still just about make out the designs on them.What draws my attention, however, are the two blood-red eyes peering back at me from one desk near the thrones. It had almost blended into the darkness with how black the creature was, but as my eyes adjusted more, I made out the creature’s shape.A raven.The black feathers looked more like the midnight sky with no moon or stars, those b
Wed to the Alpha The Witches
As I waited for the last of the sunshine to vanish behind the horizon, the rays through the fog and trees caused a hypnotic display of shimmering dancing shadows. I had to admit, even though this place was not comfortable to live in, it was, at the very least, beautiful in its own right. Hunting in this strange place had been tricky at first, but I found that if one stayed still long enough, an animal would soon show up. Life was in abundance here, and the animals did not know what a wolf was. They still ran when I lunged at them, of course, but with them never seeing a predator like me before, they made it all too easy. Finally, darkness came and the raven Aderyn returned. It then led me deeper into the fog-filled forest. It was hard going with the fog and shadows, but it didn’t help that the raven was as black as the surroundings, so it blended in far too w
Wed to the Alpha Relaying Message
The witches gave me the day off to recover from the night's journey. I knew that Jay would wonder where I had gone as a few days would now turn to a few months. I wasn’t sure if I could handle such a long period without him, but I was determined to prove my worth and not allow myself to fall into madness. Jay, on the other hand, would not handle my vanishing so well. With that in mind, the witches agreed to let me tell him some details, but my location could not be disclosed to anyone, mate or otherwise. I understood why. Even if he managed to enter the forest without trouble, he would never be able to track my scent and getting lost in this place would drive him even madder than just being away from me for a long period. ‘Honey, I promise, I’m fine!’ I relay through the mindlink, keeping it open only for him and not the rest of our pack. ‘I’m going to get so
Wed to the Alpha Witchy Ritual
With night finally here, Aderyn stood to watch on the rooftop of the cottage while the witches stood in a circle around me. I couldn’t understand what language they were speaking, but I could sense the magic surrounding them, though it was faint at first. They had told me the first ritual they were to perform would be to see what kind of talent I already possessed so that they could work from there. I just had to stand and look pretty for them. Something I could easily do. It would be the training that came after that would not be so simple. I could feel the surrounding aura. It felt somewhat tingly, like having pins and needles in your whole body. Everything took on a murky colour, which almost blended into the darkness. I wouldn’t have even noticed, had the fire a little off to the right hadn’t been giving off a bright glow to the surrounding objects, but n
