Semua Bab My True Mate: Bab 81 - Bab 90

I’m standing in a field when I open my eyes.The tall grass is nearly up to my knees, daisies and dandelions swing with the soft breeze.I don't know where I am but I feel content.There's nothing to see for miles except open fields and I let out a long breath. A breath I seem to have been holding for so long.I just want to stay here.And then I hear a cry.“Mama!”I turned around, almost instinctively recognizing the voice even though I've never heard it before.My eyes fall on a little boy, more than half his body concealed by the grass as he runs towards me. His silver hair and golden eyes tell me who he is.My hands go to my stomach as I gaze at his happy face, those chubby cheeks which are flushed.This can’t be real, I think to myself. That’s my child. Mine and Lucas’s.But -And then I see someone behind him, a tall woman with beautiful flowing hair which is the same silver as mine and deep blue eyes. Her features are striking and as she

The phoenix.Where have I heard that term before?My mind feels hazy as if I’m supposed to remember something but I can’t, for the life of me.“They’re custodians of the phoenix?” I repeat, slowly, my tone a little disbelieving. When both Eric and Damon just stare at me, I add, “The Phoenix is a mythical legend. The firebird. Nobody has ever seen it.”“You mean nobody ever talked about it in your pack,” Damon corrects me, tightly. “Did you consider that it could because your pack had been infiltrated for close to a century? You were deprived of a lot of information. How do you think that the Order of Eternity came close to winning the Great War?”I still don’t have a lot of information on the Great War except that the shifter packs rallied against witches and that the witches fought back so I don’t really have an answer to that."They stole a child from the Bewaarders,” Damon tells me. “They stole the Phoenix while it was still an infant. They stole it and they ra

I watch the leaf shrivel up and scatter, and my heart sinks.This has never happened before.“This isn't going to work," I look up at the panther shifters watching me. “I'm going to have to go to her myself.”“We’ll come-““No,” I shake my head. “Aliya won’t welcome anyone inside her sanctuary. All of your return and tell Eric to keep my mate alive.”“Damon told us to protect you,” Turner insists and I study their faces.“Fine. But then we’ll have to split up. Two of you go back and tell Damon what happened. The rest of you can accompany me.”The path to Aliya’s home is along the river so I decide to follow it.However, I can't shake the image of the leaf, disintegrating. What does that mean?Is Aleeha in trouble? Is she safe? I had found it odd that I have not seen her in so long.With no way of knowing whether the bitch is safe or not, my heart is sinking with each step.A day goes by and the journey is relatively easy. A few wolves join us along

Ariel’s voice is clear.“Make her suffer. I want her to know what it’s like to have everything taken from her.”Although the situation isn't a good one, I can't help myself from rolling my eyes.Why do I keep running across crazy women? First it was Valerie and now it's Ariel.However, there is no sting of betrayal.Although this was definitely unexpected, I never found myself leaning towards my cousin. Although, I deliberately stayed out of her way, it didn't escape my notice of how she was integrating into the pack. Things are beginning to look much more clear now. Even things I told myself I was imagining, are proving themselves to be true.If Ariel was sent by the Order, then is she even my cousin? Was anything she said true?Despite now knowing Ariel's role, even more questions have been raised.But I do know one thing for sure.Ariel has been trying to get to Kayla.I’ve never been more happy about my decision to leave her with Damon.I have t

(WIP)Aliya looks tired, her face pale, but her eyes are filled with a burning fury.Th panthers surround the men, boxing them in and when one of them tries to shoot at them, he is the first to be attacked.I transform back, my knee feeling weak and I collapse on the forest floor. Lucas steps in front of me, protectively.The leader of the man studies his opponents and then he looks towards the sky. There are streaks of light in the sky, indicating dawn. He looks back at us, his face tense.Aliya is moving her hands in an intricate manner, her lips moving so quickly that I can't tell what she’s saying. What I do see is that the man with the red eyes who had forced the poison in my mouth is looking agitated. His group is clearly outnumbered and I can see his eyes dart around for any escape route.I struggle to get to my feet and Lucas moves closer to me. I grab a handful of his fur to stabilize myself. Nobody says anything, the tension strong enough to
