Octavia’s POV I quickly hop in the shower to clean myself up and I can’t help thinking about how absolutely mind blowing that orgasm was, I have never felt like that before, that’s not to say sex with Klaus wasn’t great because it was but Troy has some serious skills. I guess he has had more experience than me since he was a bachelor and all, I just hope I can satisfy him as well as he does me. I finish in the shower and realize all my clothes are still in my suitcase in the bedroom, so I wrap the towel around me and try to sneak out of the bathroom, I don’t know why but I suddenly feel a little shy about being naked in front of Troy. Sneaking over to my suitcase I notice Troy and Nicklaus aren’t in the room anymore “What the?” I quickly get dressed, in Black skinny jeans, a Metallica t shirt and my twelve-stud black Dr Martin boots, and head out of my room in search for them. It doesn’t take me long to find them I just followed the sound of baby giggles, I round the corner and
Octavia’s POV “Laters Baby?” I hear Uhtred’s voice speak up behind me after Troy leaves the room. I turn around, I’d forgotten he was still here waiting for me. “Troy’s real big on nicknames” I say with a shrug. “Mhmm so I take it things are going well between you two?” he asks arching an eyebrow at me. “Yea I guess you could say that. He’s not what I was expecting that’s for sure.” I say smiling. It is so good having Uhtred here we can talk about almost anything and he would never judge me even if he thinks I am being stupid. I am also the only person he can be himself around, everyone else sees him as this big, scary, angry, serious Alpha wolf but in actual fact he is the biggest softy I have ever met but don’t get me wrong he can be all of those things especially if someone hurts someone he cares about, he also has a short temper, something we both inherited from our father. Don’t tell Uhtred I said this, but I once caught him and dad crying, watching the bucket list, it was
Troy’s POV I watch Octavia leave with my sister and I can’t help staring at her perfect round ass cheeks as she walks. “So, I hear you two are getting along nicely.” Uhtred says from behind me when the girls are out of sight and I nearly jump out of my skin, for a big dude he sure is quiet. “Hey man, yea I think so… she is pretty hard to read sometimes though, she avoids questions and changes subjects quickly.” I look at Uhtred and he doesn’t seem surprised. “You get used to it, she has been this way ever since she inherited her second element (Water) when she was sixteen. Don’t take it too personally,” he says patting my back, “She just has a hard time controlling her emotions with the element. If she allows herself to feel an emotion too strongly, she can lose control and goddess knows what will happen if she does, usually she will drown someone in a sphere of liquid. Trust me when I say this… if her eyes glow dark blue and liquid starts rising… run fast and far away.” Uhtred shu
Octavia’s POV We get our smoothies from Tank and head to this boutique shop. She points out the vape shop on the way past and I find a seat outside the changing room waiting for Vi to try on the second of the four dresses she had waiting for her, while I sip away at my smoothy. She comes out and I’m a little taken back by it. It’s a black and baby pink gothic/Victorian style, strapless dress complete with the corset and puff tail it even has little flowers sewn into the waistline its… beautiful. “What do you think… too much?” Vi asks doing a little spin. “Wow Vi its beautiful, I love it. It’s actually pretty similar to my dress, what is the theme for this ball anyway?” I ask curious. She has a cheeky grin on her face. “It’s a masquerade ball, since we didn’t know much about you when we started planning it, all we heard was that you had a wild side and that you have three elements so we decided a masquerade would be kind of cool, that way we could decorate the hall in all of your e
Octavia’s POV Sitting at the dinner table looking at Troy I can’t help but feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. After making a plan with him to take things slow and try dating I don’t feel so used anymore, maybe this can work in all our favours after all. I look around the room wanting to tell Uhtred, but I can’t see him. “Has anyone seen Uhtred?” I ask to no one in particular. Troy stiffens and looks up at me. What is he hiding? “He said he had a few things to do in town and won’t be back until tomorrow, but he said he will be here to greet your mother when she arrives.” Beta Jaxson says. Oh, crap I forgot I have to pick her up in the morning. Wait Uhtred never said anything about going to town. “Yes, Troy will be escorting you to the airport. You both will need to leave early; they arrive in Christchurch airport at ten am.” Alpha Ray speaks up. “Ok but I’m driving.” I say to Troy. He chuckles “
Troy’s POV The second I saw Silvia I was in complete shock. Not only is she absolutely beautiful like Octavia but I recognized her as one of the Lunas that helped my mum when she was struggling with her element. She really hasn’t aged a day at all, with her tanned skin covered in Viking tattoo, porcelain white long wavy hair, green eyes, and toned figure, she could easily pass for Octavia’s older sister. They are even similar in height. It makes me wonder how old she actually is, and why she hasn’t aged. I’m a little surprised when she tells me she helped my father on his crazy manhunts but from what I have heard she is a fierce warrior, so I’m not overly surprised my dad asked her for help. And now I am to marry her daughter, that has multiple elements. Small world huh. “Where is Elijah?” I hear Octavia ask her mother and I snap out of my daze. “He is collecting our bags. Since the rest of the family will be ar
Octavia’s POV After hearing about my uncle at the restaurant, everything was happening so quickly I was struggling to control my emotions and powers. Thank the goddess Elijah is here helping remain calm, though it’s not quite as effective as Troy. For some reason just touching him calms me down. So, when we get back to the packhouse and witness the chaos, I slip my hand in to his and instantly feel better. So weird but right now I’m not questioning it. Mum tells Elijah to find Miranda ‘Mira’s namesake’ and to get me ready. I knew this was coming, Elijah mind linked me in the restaurant that she might need my powers as well to help. I notice Troy tense at the mention of my name, and I signal him not to say anything, I don’t need my mother murdering him right now. When she is in her battle mode its best not to interrupt her, if you want to live that is. “O sweetheart, its time” my mother says. I nod and go to move towards her and the tut
Troy’s POV “What the hell is going on?” everything looked like it was going well… well I mean it all looked rather strange from our point of view; both Octavia and Silvia were silent, kneeling over Ragnar’s body with their hands out, Octavia’s eyes were a mixture of purple and blue and Silvia’s were completely white, but then, out of nowhere Octavia drops to the ground and the skies turned dark with rain pouring down on us all. I tried to go to her, but Uhtred held me back and said, “No don’t disturb her, she has connected my mother to the link, she can’t heal him, they are saying goodbye.” I stop resisting, this must be why Octavia is losing control, her emotions are too strong. “Everybody, get inside and out of this rain. If she loses complete control, she will drown us all.” Uhtred bellows out to everyone, but I can’t move, I’m just standing here staring at Octavia’s limp body on the ground. I’m snapped out of my daze when suddenly Silvia a
