Jess sat in the living room with all the boys. Joshua stood against the wall while Matt, Ray and Zav all sat in separate chairs. No one wanted to be the first to speak, but they knew someone had too. Jess had begged them to tell her what happened, what the incident was that everyone was keeping from her. She wanted to know, she needed to know.
“You should know, the barriers around everyone’s territories where only set a few years, after this incident.” Xavier began telling the story, everyone dreaded to hear.
“Our mom took us to the forest, there is a clearing we use to go to everyday just to play and hang out with her. We were in our wolf’s form running around when we picked up a strange sent, we never smelt before, by the time we ran back to the place our mom was, a gun shot went off. The bullet went through her heart and killed her instantly. Our wolves rode down in pain as our bond broke with her. We were so consumed with pain, that we
Chapter: Forty-threeThings change after Jess learned the truth of the boy’s past. She felt closer to them then before and they were more open with her as more time passed. Things were great between then. They would fall asleep in someone’s room every night, have breakfast together, always joking with one another and they spent almost the entire day together.Jess liked that she was learning herself with the boys. If it wasn’t for Matthew, Jess would have never known that she hated running and if it wasn’t for Joshua, Jess would have never known that she is great at lying when it come to sparing someone else feelings. She also learned that she really liked to make-out with very attractive men. Jess was scared that the boys would get jealous of one another if Jess spent to much time with one of the boys in particular, but they never did. They were genuinely happy for one another and didn’t mind sharing, which Jess was not go
Once Jess saw maya’s name, all the memories come rushing back, it was like a wave had crushed down on her and left her completed broken. Jess didn’t know how to fell or how to act. She wanted to cry and scream all at once, but she also felt so drained that she didn’t even know if she could stand up. She was completely lost. All her memories played at once. Xavier tormenting her in the cells, but then holding her tightly at night as the slept together. It made jess dizzy and disgusted. She honestly didn’t know what to do. The pain of Maya was still in her heart and as strong as ever. She knew that she never really saw Maya the night she jumped, but just those few seconds she wanted to believe that Maya was still alive, and that Maya was still with her, she wanted to believe that she wasn’t alone.Jess stood up from the ground and started to walk, she wasn’t sure where she was going, but she needed to get out of this house. She didn’t w
Jess removed the loose piece of rock, revealing the pages she had hide so many months ago. She held them in her hands rereading the words that were already imprinted in her brain.One can change with the blood of love in a cup. Drink it all and make the ultimate sacrifice. A strong heart will prevail with a new beginning in a new life. The blood that pulses through the reborn will bond closer with those that have sacrificed it and internal happiness will be yours in the life on a creature of the moon.But fail and you will be met with an everlasting darkness, roaming around in the afterlife with no hope of return.Bee warned that only those with a brave heart and strong bond to those they love might survive and become one of the goddess moon children.Jessica read the page she already new by heart, she tore of the last piece of the page that held the outcome for when the ceremony is not successful and placed it back into her original hiding place. Knowing
Jessica ran deeper into the woods, each step made her legs burn even more, but no matter how much she wanted to give up she couldn’t, her life literally depended on it. She pushed herself even more as her enemy gained on her. Her legs were burning, her lungs screaming for oxygen and her eyes burned as sweat ran into them, but she could not stop, unless she wanted the wolves to catch her.Jess just simply wanted to go on a hike and clear her head, but who knew that would possibly lead to her death. Jess turned her head to see how close the wolves were, but that was the worst mistake she could have made, she tripped on a branch and tumbled down. When jess finally stopped rolling, her hand burned and her ankle hurt, but it was nothing compared to the searing pain pulsing from her side. She turned herself on her back and looked at her hip, a broken piece of a branch had stabbed into her. The burning would not stop, Jess moved her hand to the branch, trying to pull it out, b
Jess woke up cold and in pain. She found herself laying on a bed she would imagine would be used in jails. The mattress was worn out and filled with stains and the metal bed frame wiring looked like it was about to snap. If jess was not in so much pain, she would be too afraid to move, but due to her pain, movement was not even an option. Jess just kept laying still and only turned her head to look around the room she was in, it was the only thing that her body would allow to move. Jess soon realized that the room was not a room, but more like a cell. The bars on the one side of the room, just confirmed that jess was not in a safe place. The room was lit with one dim white light and only had one other thing in it – a bucket – that in no way looked sanitary. Jess eyes widen when she recalled the last thing that happened to her before darkness had consumed her. She looked down and saw that the piece of branch was removed from her hip. Without the adrenaline pumping through
Everything had been chaotic after the girl had passed out again. Xavier was checking the last details before the elders were to arrive, Joshua was busy setting up the warriors and increasing border patrol after their uninvited guest arrived, Raymond was preparing the grand hall for the investigation of the human and Matthew was still with the doc helping to heal the human’s wounds. After many, many strenuous hours had passed the elders finally arrived the next day. The elders consisted out of the four realm – Fae, werewolves, dragons, and siren. The world consisted out of a lot of supernatural creatures, but the shapeshifters had always been allies and that’s why their realm was the strongest of all. Fae and sirens brough their ability to manipulate nature and werewolves and dragons brought their brute strength and hunting abilities to the table. The alliances between the four species were always fragile, but they needed one another, and they knew that, so no matte
‘Mine’ Xavier growled through the mind-link.Everyone stared at him. Xavier was the last person that would have wanted a human mate. The Williams hated humans, but Xavier was the worse, after what happened to them, they couldn’t stand that species. Xavier’s wolf backed off the girl on the floor, his mind running a mile a minute. Xavier turned back into his human form and turn away from the girl and moved back to his brothers. His brothers did not know how to react, they knew why this was terrible news, but what should they say, what should they do? All of them hated the situation and wanted to kill the girl off as soon as she arrived, but they needed answers of how she got here. Xavier was clenching his fist and taking rugged hard breaths. Matthew was about to say something, but the human groaned. Mike came over to Xavier and handed him some clothes.Jess moved to her side and hissed as the pain spread up her body. She slowly pushed herself up o
As Jess closed her eyes, she felt as if she was being pulled out of her body. She had no control over herself. Jess couldn’t control anything about herself, she had no say when Sasha started to ask questions and Jess simply answered her, without even wanting to.“How did you get here? How did you get into this territory?” Sasha asks, but her voice has an echo to it as if her words are being heard from far away.“I was on a hike. It was the first time that I climb this trail, everything was fine in the beginning, but on my second day I felt as if I was being followed. I got off the trail hoping to lose whatever was following me. When I looked back again wolves were chasing. I ran to get away, but I got hurt and when I woke up again, you people were here.” Jessica spoke in a deadly calm voice, she sounded like a drone.“What do you know of our people? What do you know of supernatural?” Sasha asks her voice still sounding f
