(Raina) I was walking around with Elias and Kat, trying to stay focused on their conversation as they tried hard to include me. But, I found myself spacing out as I recalled what had happened between Parker and I. It seems as if I was a fool, to run from him the way that I did, when I should have stayed and talked to him. Now, I was feeling a bit guilty. I bit my finger as I continued to think about him. The look on his face right before I teleported would forever be etched into my memory. “I'm such a bad mate.” I said out of nowhere, putting a pause on the conversation between Elias and Kat, I had no idea what they were talking about, so to me, it wasn't that important. “What? What did you do?” Elias asked, giving me an accusatory look. I rolled my eyes and ran my hand through my hair. “Well, Parker and I hadn't been intimate at all. He's trying to hold back for my sake because he knows that I'm not ready.” I looked down, currently beating myself up because of the way I acted. I
(Raina)Being a witch wasn't easy for me. Going through training and at the age of twenty was a difficult task. My birthday is coming up, but I still felt like I wasn't mature enough. I couldn't even get Elias to continue his training. He forfeited it because he thought that he would change. I would have been there for him, but he wasn't ready, so I supported him either way.It's been a week now since Jason had left, and that's the last time since I have seen Elias. I'm sure he had a lot to do, but I missed my friend. Today, I was fully prepared to go over to his pack and demand that he visit me often. That would be selfish of me, but at this point, I didn't care. I needed the distraction. Why? Because of Parker Johnson, my mate and linker. I haven't formed a bond with him as yet. He knew the reasons, so he chose to wait until I was ready. I am not even sure if I'm going to ever be ready. How can I mate with someone who was working for my aunt? I still haven't come to terms with that
(Jason) “Are you sure there's nothing I can do for you?” Killian asked for the tenth time. I shook my head, making him sigh with frustration. I don't understand why he cared though, I mean, this is my fate. The goddess chose not to give me a mate. The most I can do is mourn the loss of something that I could have had. “Look, I get that it's difficult. You had hopes, and it was torn away in the blink of an eye. You're welcome to stay here as long as you want.” Did I want that, though? I was still tempted to visit other packs, even though I wasn't even sure if I had the luxury of getting a second chance mate. “I would rather leave, I don't think there is a reason for me to stay here.” I snapped, making him flinch as I gulped down the remaining liquor that Killian gave me earlier. “It's only customary for me to…" I slammed the glass down on the kitchen counter. Killian jumped a little from my sudden burst of anger. “It's only customary, my ass! You're only doing this because you fee
(Jason) I hated to admit it, but I was in love with Elias. The only way to remain sane was for me to leave. I didn't intend to stay this long, though, but being in the company of Elias, I didn't have any intention of leaving. I felt comfortable around him. Every so often, I wish that he was my mate, but that was me taking this further than it already was. Given the fact that I'm almost forty and Elias is nineteen, it would have looked unfortunate on my part. Plus, he's basically my nephew. Since he's Samuel's adopted son. Fuck, there were so many cons if I was ever to pursue something with Elias. I sighed as I waved goodbye to everyone who was there to see me off. I may have given up on finding my mate before, but I guess I should start trying for the sake of my sanity. The first place, for my trip, was to search at the pack that Ryland found Kai in Canada. I don't even know if I'm going to have that much of luck as Ryland did, but I have to give it a try. If I fail, then there a
(Elias) Going to therapy once more with Ryker, it felt strange. I wanted to tell Sally that she wasn't needed here anymore, so she could go back to her pack, but I wasn't sure how I was going to do so without sounding rude. I had already spoken to Lilliana about it, and she was happy that I had come to terms with everything that had happened to me in the past. But, she wanted to make sure that I was mentally capable of moving on. I had to think about it, and my final answer was yes. I am able to move on without therapy without having flashbacks, without having to go back to the cave where I felt safe. Forest also came to terms with what had happened to him, to us. He accepted his future without any complaints. Now, it was time to put the past behind us. Ryker, well, he also agreed with this. He didn't need therapy anymore, since he was adamant that he had changed. There were bound to be some slip ups, but we could work on that ourselves. So, with that being said, we sat in thera
(Ryker) Today, it was full here as everyone decided to use this day to party. To let loose and have fun, but while they were dancing, I was moping. Why? Because of Jason. He was all over my mate. The two of them were dancing as if they were lovers. Even though that wasn't the case, I still had a strong urge to go over to where they were and rolled them apart. The only problem was Max. He kept me rooted to the spot. I couldn't move since he took control of my body. He knew how dark my thoughts had gotten and was trying to get me to stay as far away from Elias and Jason as I could. I didn't care if they were having fun. The only person who was allowed to grab his ass like that was me. I huffed and tried to fight for control once more but failed miserably. 'Fuck you Maxwell.' I said, using his full name. He laughed, at the way I was acting. It wasn't funny one bit. 'Loosen up, will you? You know that today is the last day Jason will be here. He's leaving to search for his mate, I t
