Once In The Dust 11 one lucky guy
Christopher I felt pain in my body. I was somehow trapped in my head. I knew I should get up to move, but I couldn't. The attackers were coming, and Mark was nowhere near us. "Can you get up?" I asked Luis, and he managed to get on his feet. "I can't shift Alpha. I think we have been poisoned," Luis said, and I knew we were doomed. Who would have poisoned us? We had gone for a territorial meeting and were on our way back. How did we ingest the poison? Mark wanted to go so we had to park the car. We were close to Rain Pack, so I didn't think much of it until my legs gave out, and I felt paralysed. I heard the howls and growls of wolves, but I couldn't help myself. I hoped some guards would be on patrol and come our way. "We have to try," I told Luis. This wasn't how I was going to die. We managed to get on our feet and grow our claws to defend ourselves. I called Mark several times, but he did not respond. The wolves smelled familiar. They smelled like a place I knew, but my mind w
Once In The Dust 12 I did not want him to hurt.
Willow. As the new pack healer, Christopher and I spent much time together. He always faked sickness, so I would attend to him. He confessed several times that he just wanted to be near me, and I found it cute. We almost kissed a few times, and he pleaded with me to break things off with the Gamma. Luna Aida was out of my hair, but I knew she and Mark were plotting. I just had to be patient to wait and counter them. We were getting into the month when I was to catch them together. So far, fate had altered something, and Luis was a big issue for me because he was an anomaly. He wasn't meant to be alive, but there was no way I could save Christorpher without saving him. Because of him, the first event of catching Aida with Mark did not work out because he asked me to walk with him in the park. I might have to break up with him to focus on my task. It was now two months and three weeks. I wished I could just walk up to Christopher and tell him, 'hey, your luna and Beta are fucking, and t
Once In The Dust 13 A Much Needed Ally
Willow. I went to bed confused. I never imagined things would go this way between Christopher and me. I had a plan. Save him and redeem my wolf and me. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan. Every time I am near him, I get butterflies in my tummy. I know it is wrong, and I shouldn't be feeling anything for him, but the feelings keep coming, and there is nothing I can do about it. I notice everything about him. Sometimes, I want to crawl into his arms and remain there. What happened in the woods was part of my fantasy, and I wished I had the heart to linger and go all the way with him, but I knew it would complicate things between us, and I did not want that. I wanted to handle Aida and Mark unbiased. There was also the uncertainty of what would happen to me when my time was up. I needed to save Christopher just as I was instructed, and that was what I would focus on. "We must expose that bitch and take what is ours, Willow. Christorpher wants us; Jet wants us, do not say you can't
Once In The Dust 14 In the middle of It
Christopher When we started training, I looked out for Luis, but he was nowhere. I was worried. Not knowing where he was bothered me. I did not want him touching my mate. Since what transpired between Willow and me in the woods, I have been determined to make it work, which was why I slept in the office last night. Somehow I knew she would feel it if I touched Aida. The bond between us had fully repaired, and for that alone, I could not put her through pain, so I stayed away from Aida and hoped to find a way to end my marriage without causing issues with the werewolf king. People shouldn't have to lose their lives because I want to be with my fated. I knew there would be a better way and intended to find that way. I finally saw Luis coming from the garden. "Proposed?" Mark asked him, and he shook his head. "Not yet," he said and looked at me. I wondered why Willow did not end it with him. Was she afraid of doing it? I knew it was cowardly for me to ask her to do it. I guess I will
Once In The Dust 15 And I Knew I Was In Trouble.
Willow. I had a mental meltdown in the early hours of the morning, and I did not know when I found my way to Luis's room. It shouldn't hurt. I shouldn't feel affected by Aida's pregnancy, but I was. I knew it wasn't Christopher's baby, but I was affected by it. The pregnancy thing came up earlier than in the past. I guess certain things had shifted. What baffled me was that I was yet to catch Aida and Mark together. I needed to catch them to know how I could expose them. I began to fear I might fail. I did not understand why I was overwhelmed with fear, but I was. "We wanted to spend time with him yesterday," Raya said with sadness, and I could understand. Even though I knew what was about to happen, I wanted to spend time with him. I knocked on Luis's door, and he answered. He was shirtless and sleepy. I must have woken him from his sleep. I shouldn't have come, but I wasn't thinking. I turned to leave. "Willow," he said with concern, and I began to cry. I needed an outlet. When it
Once In The Dust 16 When He Sees For Himself
Willow, Christopher's shock was obvious. I wasn't supposed to be there. I knew Aida had sprung this on him. Unfortunately, I dared not say no. I needed to find a way to survive the event without an episode. "What are you doing here?" Christopher asked me, while my head was still bowed. I looked up to answer him. "Princess Aida put me in charge of her diet and tea," I said aloud, and Christopher looked at her. From his eyes, he knew she was up to no good. I served Aida the tea and went further to serve the king and everyone else. "She is a healer and not a servant," Christopher cautioned Aida after I served them and stood at the corner to await the next order. "Your fated that became a servant, and then a healer should serve us when I request it," She said, and the king looked at me with a tinge of rage, but lust overshadowed it. I guess he had a thing for pretty girls. "She rejected me, and I accepted. You were there; what is the matter with you, Aida?" Christopher asked her. "
Once In The Dust 17 He Would Not Betray Me.
Christopher. Willow got me all worked up. Knowing that she knew I was watching while she touched herself made me feel naughty. I enjoyed the view and had to work on myself every time I left her window. I honestly wished things had happened differently between us. My heart has never beat for anyone the way it beat for her. She was perfect. I knew King Aaron wanted her for himself, and I felt it was low of him to ask me to give her to him as tribute. He wanted my army, my strength, and now my woman. The man had made himself the bane of my life. As I walked back towards the Packhouse, I wondered what was special about the two people fucking in the deserted section of the service quarters that made Willow ask me to join her there. Somehow, I felt she knew who the people were and wanted me to see for myself. Willow wasn't a stupid girl, nor was she spontaneous. She was angling at something. I wanted to go but could not excuse myself when Aaron was there. It would be disrespectful of me. "
Once In The Dust 18 He was a traitor.
Willow. I returned to my bedroom after eating a hearty meal at the restaurant in town. I lay on my bed, wondering what would happen next. The fire in Christopher's eyes let me know he was still mine. I hoped he could let go when my time was up. I had one goal: to expose Aida and save his life. I planned on focussing on it with all my might. "Tomorrow, we will eavesdrop on Aida's plan in her office," Willow said. That was the first place I learned what she was really planning. I had eavesdropped on her conversation with her father's envoy. That conversation motivated me to try harder to expose her. I needed to be wise and careful this time. To avoid making my eavesdropping suspicious, I will make a Parfait for her as a peace token. I knew exactly what to say and do, and I planned on manipulating her the way she manipulated the pack members and Christorpher against me. After planning our move for the next day, I decided to sleep. I woke up in the morning and dressed nice. I missed hea
