I sat on the bed and stretched, huffing as I tried in vain to take off my shirt, lifting and straining my spine was so painful I was whimpering. I huffed, angry tears pricking my eyes but I refused to let them fall. I just wanted this feeling of being useless and broken to stop already. I wanted to be whole again. I just wanted to be back to myself. I stood slowly and undid my jeans, pushing them off my hips, turning to the door in surprise as it opened and a pretty young woman walked in. She looked at me for a moment before a smile graced her features, making her blue eyes sparkle and shine. She stepped towards me and gave a small bow of her head in greeting.
“Hello, Miss Ravenfield. My name is Gem and Lord Magnus has asked me to assist you in changing for the healing ceremony. I will assist you with anything you need as long as you reside here on the island.” her voice was kind and warm and I blinked at
Another chapter, woot! I think with maybe 3/4 more chapters I will be done with the first book and then I will be able to fully work on the second. Kinda amazing considering I've only been working on this for a little over a month.
I nodded and let Magus walk to the side of the pool, helping me slide in and Cadmus put his arm around my mid-back and held me to his side, keeping me afloat in the deep water so I didn’t exhaust myself by trying to stay afloat. I blushed and ducked my head, wishing my hair wasn’t tied back so I could use it to hide my face, when I realized he was very very naked and his bare skin against mine made me tingle and shiver. “If none of us can touch the bottom, how are you going to all hold me above the water?” I asked curiously as I looked up at Cadmus, blushing at his intense gaze. Normally men don’t intimidate me in this way, but my god, they were all so gorgeous it made me feel inferior. “We’ll all be in our dragon forms and you will be held up by our noses essentially. Sounds silly but it will work.” He said quietly, my skin flushed under his intense ga
I followed the 5 brothers back into the castle, my arm still holding onto Blaze’s and looked around in awe at the sheer beauty of it all. The place was mesmerizing and unlike anything I had ever seen before, like something from a dream, but then again I did dream of this place. Something that was done because I belong here, I am part dragon. It still sounded so far-fetched and ridiculous. I could not be like I could ever be some fantastic magical beast. Yes, being a wolf shifter was something from a fairytale, but our magic was not so grandiose that we could hide entire islands from discovery. Instead, we just had the magic to slip our skin at will. I could not believe that I was given some amazing gift to be both dragon and wolf. I wasn’t blessed by both the Sun and the Moon. We walked farther into the mountain and I couldn't help but think of Silas, 72 hour
"Oh, dear I’m sure it would have done your heart some good if I was to yes, but alas I am not. Though I do share in your pain. It saddens my heart daily to know that my big sister is no longer in this world.” Her voice was warm and kind, a little higher and softer than my mother's voice but if I closed my eyes it was like she was talking to me. I looked at her wide-eyed and let the tears fall anyway, overwhelmed with all the big bombs that have been dropped on me in the last while.“You’re sister?” I whispered in question as I watched her come into the room and smile at Aiden, sitting beside him and patting his cheek fondly as he handed her a cup of tea before she faced me.“Yes, your mother Alina, was my older sister. She was indeed a dragon. I am Deja, Deja Yarrow. I am Aiden's mother.” I looked at Aiden in surprise,
Again?” I pant from my position on the hard ground, small stones digging into my bareback. I force myself into a sitting position and adjust my sports bra as I stand. I face off against my opponent, my hands raised and ready to deflect. Dorin lashed out quicker than I could react and his fist caught me in the mouth, my lip splitting and the smell of fresh blood invigorating the onlookers. Whoops and hollers are heard from the circle of spectators in the training room as Dorin Cash, Beta of the Richmond Pack kicks my ass. The others jeered as I swung and Doring dropped to his knee and jabbed me in the ribs. I let out a grunt and reacted quickly by bringing my knee up and clipping him in the jaw. I quickly backed up, squaring off against him again. “You’re getting sloppy Kara! You’re too slow, pick up the pace!” Or
I swear under my breath at leaving the laundry partially done and took off out the back door to the packhouse. I flew through the open door, narrowly missing someone and took the stairs two at a time, stopping at the third floor and sprinting into my room. Stripping as I made my way into the bathroom and took a quick shower, feeling suspicious of why Orso would want me there. Sure a warrior at an Alpha’s meeting makes sense, but a young she-wolf still in training? That makes no sense. After the world's fastest shower and a rushed swipe of the towel to get most of the water off my body and so my hair wasn’t sopping. I changed into jeans and a grey shirt before leaving my room and sliding down the banister, my bare feet making little smack sounds on the tile as I hopped off. I ran to the boardroom, accidentally slamming the door open, causing it to slam against the wall and 6 heads to look in my direction.
I sighed and made my way out of the room and took the stairs two at a time, making it to my room quickly. I swing the door closed behind me and flop onto my bed face first. I stilled as I realize it didn’t click behind me but relax as I hear a nice deep chuckle and the door click shut and lock. “Relax my little wolf. It’s just me.” I turned my head to the side and watched as Jax walked towards me. His eyes darkened as he climbed over me and lowered himself to hold me, his arms tight around me, his nose buried in my neck. He let out a soft growl as he took in my scent. “You smell like my father. He’s still chasing you I see.” “He’s always chasing me. He has yet to realize I’ve been with his son for almost a year.” I snickered as I rolled over onto my back under Jax and smiled up at him. My hands playing with the hem of his shirt. He smirked down at me as he sa
I was pulled from sleep, the dream slipping away fast the more coherent I became, by the sensation of gentle kisses being placed on my bare shoulder blade and warm calloused hands rubbing along my back and sides. I smile and hum in content, burying my face more in my comfy pillow. A warm chuckle sounded before one of his hands patted my butt. “Time to get up little wolf. Supper is soon and I have to sneak out of your room and you have to take a shower to get rid of my scent clinging to your skin.” Jas said softly as he stood from the bed and tugged on my ankle gently. I grumbled under my breath and stood up, a scowl on my face as I stretched. Immediately after, Jax pulled me into a rough, searing kiss, one hand encompassing my neck, slight pressure on my throat while his other hand fisted in my hair, crushing me to him. I panted, breathless, my lips red and s
I sat there eating my food as Ezra, Echo and Torrance chattered animatedly about the summit with everyone else at our table, and let my eyes wander out across the dining hall and all the gathered pack members. I saw Jax sitting at a table close to the head table with a group of his friends, a pretty she-wolf in his lap, his arm around her waist. I sighed softly, a sense of distaste in my mouth as I saw him kiss her neck, my lip curling slightly as I heard her giggle from his attention. I hated this part of our agreement, keeping our relationship a complete secret and having other partners in the open. As the Alpha’s sob, next in line for the position, he had every she-wolf vying for his attention. I on the other hand don’t have an endless parade of men. “Earth to Kara. You in there?” Echo asked with a rumble-like laugh, tapping me on the forehead with t
