I opened my eyes only to greeted by the sunlight peeking through the window. I blinked twice before I realized it was not my bed, and yesterday’s events flashed in my mind. The witches, blade, Oracle. I shake my head and hoped it was just some sick dream. But my conscience already knew the answer.I pulled myself from the bed and stand near the window. The sun was peeking from the clouds painting the whole sky gold. Last night I slept like baby. I don’t recall the last time I have such a peaceful sleep. I felt refreshed. I freshen up and called August to check on pack, I had already lied about the postponement of the meeting but I am not quite sure how he will react when he know that I am at Reed’s house, but now I don’t want to think about that. I quickly changed in black shots and put my hairs in a bun. I haven’t eaten anything since last night and my stomach growled in agreement.The castle was huge. It was not like the nor

“Diana?” I shouted the name of the only person I wanted to meet. I was tired and excited at the same time; I want to spill every single detail of our journey to Diana. Reed and I had made some progress, unlike other times, we talked like properly talked and he not ignored me.Reed had to check on the borders so he left me on the main gate. On the top of that he bid me goodbye. I was grinning like a mad teenage girl, who had first time talked to her crush.“Diana?” I asked checking each room. The lights were off, the servants were probably gone by now. After looking through each room I opened my bed room. A white note was placed at the middle of the bed. I sat on the bed lazily and opened the note. I know who wrote the letter. Dear Esma,It seems that the work for which I had gone would probably take some time and I doubted you had to live without me for few days. I hope Reed will not give you hard time (b

Esma’s pov“Can you pass some salt please?” I asked eating my food not looking in his direction. We ate our food in complete silence. Neither he nor I make an eye contact. He was completely avoiding me and after our little accident I was doing the same. He passed me the salt and I quickly grab the bottle from his hand.I was making sure not make any physical contact with him. A long but comfortable silence stretched between us. Somehow the silence seemed to connect us, in the way the words never could.  Or maybe it was my brain which was playing with me.He opened a file from his bag he brought from the car earlier and started reading it. he looked somewhat disturbed after his return from the borders. I wanted to ask him, only if I had some courage. After what seems to be an awfully long time, I tried to break some ice.“When will Diana return?”  I asked in a low voice.He

A painful groan escaped my lips when I feel hot, the worry and anger were the first thing I feel. I didn’t doubt that they were Reed’s emotion sinking through the mate bond. My ears were ringing. I can hear the distant sound but I can’t figure it out. My heart starts to palpitates in my chest as the sound becomes clearer and clearer. I kicked off the sheets and followed the sound to the downstairs. The light of hall was on, I peeked through the stairs and catch Reed and Diana sitting together and discussing something. Reed’s face worsened with every passing minute; I could easily feel his anger building through the mate bond. any second and he could explode like a time bomb. I decided to move further to listen what they were discussing at this hour of night. what possible could have happen that they haven’t waited for the morning. “I have bad news and… bad news.” Diana said tiredly taking a sip from her glass. She was in the same attire when she left. Reed no

“So, this is it.” I completed the whole story from the meeting, the threat, the oracle and of course the attack, covering every single details. I drink the water from the bottle and look at the expressions of the people sitting in front of me. My mother and beta john were looking deep in thoughts. August was silent during the whole meeting and I was getting anxious by looking at him.“What had he done to you?” he finally speaks, his voice so cold it could cut through the ice. His eyes turned evil red. I closed my eyes and take a deep breath. I don’t want to tell him about reed and mine relation but then he won’t be convinced about me going to their home.  “It’s past and buried.” His eyes turned redder if possible, by now I can say he could phase any second in his wolf. I quickly signalled mom to handle him. Our mom was the only one who can take us.“Listen, we don’t need his help, send him t
