All Chapters of Blood and Moon: Araya: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Who the hell was this bitch and why was she all over him like that? Did Adrian seriously drive me all this way to make me jealous? Well, if so, it was working, because I was ready to yank her off him by her hair.I crossed my arms instead and he must have sensed how pissed I was because he shot his eyes over to me before quickly sitting her down.She had a confused look on her face and that’s when she finally noticed me.“Oh, so you must be the Zoldeck witch. Let me have a good look at you, then.”My mouth dropped open. What the hell was going on? Why had he brought me here to this stranger that seemed to know a hell of a lot more about me than I did of her? I couldn’t believe he had entrusted my personal business with this woman. Was she one of the wolves that belonged to his pack? Either way, I didn’t really care. I knew he was still upset with me, but that did not give him the right to bring me here without giving me any indication of what was going on and telling this woman my secr

Something wasn’t right. After driving a little while longer, I started to get confused. I wasn’t completely familiar with Sequoia and the surrounding areas, but I was pretty sure we weren’t heading towards Adrian’s house. It was obvious because we seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. There was a narrow dirt road and a bunch of trees everywhere. I saw a shed but no other houses or any other indication of civilization. Were we in a freaking forest? I sat up in my seat now more aware of my surroundings looking around for and hints of where we might be. I looked down at my phone. No cell service. Of course.Maybe I had read it wrong. Maybe Adrian hadn’t forgiven me and was actually more pissed than I thought and was planning on taking me out here to kill and hide my body. No one would ever find me. My eyes got big and anxiety built in my chest.‘Calm down, Ray.’ I said to myself. I really needed to stop watching so many crime shows. ‘Adrian is trustworthy. He would never hurt me.’ I co

My hands wrung together in my lap as I felt my palms begin to get sweaty. I was nervous. Tonight, we were having dinner with some important people in Adrian’s pack, according to him. ‘Pack.’ I wasn’t sure that I’d ever get use to this terminology and the meaning behind it. Adrian tried to explain who they were, but I couldn’t focus. I absolutely hated situations like this. I just knew I was going to be so awkward knowing there was going eyes on me and feeling like everyone had high expectations. But I was a human. Even if I was part witch, I wasn’t a wolf. I didn’t feel like I belonged. I probably didn’t, and I wondered what they would think of me.I looked down at myself. My dress was pretty. My hair and makeup had come together nicely when I checked. I looked damn good, but I wasn’t feeling this at all. Last night I had hoped we would be able to enjoy some alone time after everything that had happened, but there was way too much excitement going on for that. Back in t

We sat around and talked through dinner before I was excused. Apparently there was some war talk that needed to take place which I did not need to be apart of, thank God. As of now I had no official position in the pack. I was just Adrian’s mate. And I was perfectly fine with that, honesty. I wasn’t sure I wanted a position in the pack anyways and was more than happy to get out of there. He could be a leader. I preferred to sit back on the sidelines.My energy had been so drained being around everyone and I needed some serious alone time. A nice hot bath and some wine sounded absolutely perfect about now. As I stood up to leave Adrian grabbed my arm and the sensation sent tingles over me skin. He pulled me down to whisper in my ear.“You did great. I’m proud of you. Wait up for me.” The last sentence was completely loaded. The tingling sensation made its way to other areas of my body. I pulled back looking at him and he had a big smile on his face. My cheeks blushed naturally wonderin

Of course she knew it was me. I shouldn’t have been surprised. She was a sensory witch. I smiled at the revelation of her power.“Ciel, how are you?”“I’m doing pretty good. Glad you called.”“You are? Why?”“Yes, of course. Come on now, baby girl. I didn’t want to pressure you before, but I would love to train or help you get a gauge on your powers. That’s just what we do. Helping new and young witches coming into their power is very fulfilling, plus you’re not just a regular witch. I’m interested to see what all you can really do.” I could almost hear the glimmer in her eyes. “If you really are of Zoldeck ancestry, there would be many who would love to get their hands on you.”She wasn’t lying. Hands were already trying to get to me now. But she was exactly the person I needed in my corner. Unlike whoever Claudis had in mind, I knew a little bit about her, I had some of an idea of her powers, and Adrian trusted her. I didn’t think Claudis would hurt me, but he wanted to control me
