His Only Hope 8. Home Sweet Home
Josie He caught me attempting to leave the city before anyone woke up, which, ofcourse he did. He knew I didn't want this marriage, or to be bothered with him at all. I just wanted to get back to my lonely, miserable existence. The thought of moving him into my house made me nauseous, it felt like a huge betrayal to Christopher. We had bought the house together as our first big purchase. We bought it even before we got married because it was my dream home. The thought of sharing it with someone else, another man, even if we were sleeping in two separate rooms made me want to puke. That could also be the hangover though, I figured, so I chugged more coffee from my travel mug. The Baileys wasn't actually strong enough to give me a buzz, but it certainly helped in taking the edge off of the hangover. As I pulled my mug back from my lips and sat it back on my lap I couldn't help but notice the way that the Alpha Prince looked at it, before looking up to me and shaking his head. He could
His Only Hope 9. Settling In
Bryan She had a gorgeous home, though the detached single car garage could definitely be updated. I handed her her key ring and she hopped out of the car to run in the house and lock doors that she didn't want me going into, not that I was going to let locked doors stop me. I wanted to know everything about her, and now that I was here at her home, maybe I finally could. I checked out the garage before grabbing the bags from the car, just to see if it was full of junk that I could maybe talk her into going through. I was surprised at the beauty I saw sitting in it though. There sat a gorgeous moss green Chevy Silverado. I knew that it had to be a recent model from its structure. I also knew that there was no way it belonged to her. Though I wasn't sure why, the thought made me angry. Maybe she had run into the house first to warn whatever man that lived with her that I was here. That was why she was trying to disappear before anyone woke this morning Andu suggested. At that thought
His Only Hope 10. Another Lifetime Ago
Josie I was standing there, chained in iron to a tall wooden beam. There were others around me, and all of us were in chains. I was just a little girl. The white men around us were speaking and shouting in a language I didn't understand. I was scared, but I was trying to put on a brave face for the others. I could feel not only their fear, but their desire to protect me even though they couldn't. None of us could be protected now. A large white man came and unchained me from the beam before dragging me over to another white man and handing him my chains. The way he looks at me makes me incredibly uncomfortable, so I look away, over at the man with my skin color who is also in chains. I know him, he used to always be in the gardens back home. I go to speak to him, but the white man strikes me across my face and starts yelling at me, but I still have no idea what he is saying since I don't know the language. He drags us to a horse drawn carriage before chaining us up behind it. We ha
His Only Hope 11. Their History
Bryan I knew I shouldn't have lost my patience with her the moment I walked out of the room. She was just so purposely infuriating. I had no idea how I was going to get through to her when I couldn't even ask her a question on a topic she was knowledgeable in. I just wanted to know what that dream was about. It had felt so real, and my heart broke for that sweet little girl who had been my mate. When I woke up I tried to brush it off as just another dream, but the more I continued to try to go about my day, the more it pushed itself to the forefront of my mind. I had gone to the store and bought enough food for a week, made coffee and an omelet for breakfast, but still, I couldn't shake that dream. Perhaps she was right and I should call her mom, maybe she would give me the answers that her daughter refused to give. I also needed to check and be sure they gave Ellie her memories back like she asked, afterall, all of this would fall apart before we even got a chance to build on it if
His Only Hope 12. Soul Bonds
Josie I was mindlessly scrolling through my phone when I felt his presence lingering in the doorway, watching me. I hated that I could feel him, that meant that the magic was starting to take root. Our souls had been bound together, so even without being marked, we were going to start feeling eachother's presence more prominently. I knew the way soul binding worked better than most witches since I understood souls. Most witches, much like werewolves and vampires only knew that the ceremony binds two souls together, the same as a werewolf mark, or vampire mark. They didn't understand what that truly meant though, just that they would be connected to their mate, or chosen mate forever. I knew that it was much more complicated than that. Yes, the souls were bound together, but it was the connection between the two souls that truly immersed them together. The best way to describe the way the marks, or soul binding ceremony worked is with the very real knot that is used in witch ceremon
His Only Hope 13. Once Upon A Time
Bryan When we pulled up to the campus bookstore she demanded that I stay in the car while she ran inside to get her books. Andu didn't like the idea of her going in there alone since she was unmarked, especially with all of the guys that we'd seen wandering around the campus, but I assured him that she knew who we were so she wouldn't dare attempt to go back on her word. She wasn't inside long, but as I watched her come out of the building I saw her talking and smiling with two other girls. I couldn't help but wish I could get her to smile and talk to me like that as she said her goodbyes before climbing back into the car. I drove back to the house, noting that she didn't want to speak with me as she immediately turned the volume up on the music when she got into the car. I wasn't sure how I was going to get her to open up to me, especially when she didn't even seem willing to try. As soon as we got back to the house she poured herself a glass of wine before retreating to her bedro
His Only Hope 14. Realizations
Josie The rest of the week flew by in a blur for me. The past life dreams had become so incredibly vivid that I found myself drinking even more than usual. I thought I could go back to wine since I was in the comfort of my home, but the past life dreams added a level of stress that I hadn't seen coming. I couldn't help but to wonder what the Alpha Prince made of them, though I would never ask. I found myself waking up most mornings aching for his touch that I had felt in those dreams, wondering if it were possible that the man I was now sharing my home with could actually make me feel as good and alive as I had felt during those dreams. I knew, however, that parts of that life were missing. It seemed that the ancestors only felt it necessary to show us all of the good within that lifetime for the time being, but I knew that eventually the other shoe would drop and we would remember the tragedy and pain of that life as well. It's weird, having those incredibly vivid past life dreams.
His Only Hope 15. Hidden Treasures
Bryan We carried her artifacts down to the basement, and I was utterly surprised by what I saw when we got to the bottom of the stairs. The basement was incredibly organized, with all of her decorations separated into sectioned shelves that lined the wall. I couldn't help but to notice that she had a whole wall of shelves that were full of totes labeled as Christmas decorations, which was way more than any of the other decorations she had. She lead the way through the large basement until we came to what appeared to be a brick wall that housed the electrical box. I couldn't help the smirk that came to my face as she opened it up to reveal a biometric panel. She scanned her hand first, then, once it was accepted, she stepped over to stand infront of it as a red light started flashing. I watched as the panel scanned her retina, before a robotic voice welcomed her to the space. Then a loud hissing sound occurred, followed by a scraping sound as a section of the brick wall opened up an
