When I came to I was back on campus in the commons. I was heading toward the dorms, music blasting in my ears as I scrolled through my phone. Nate's name popped up on the screen. "Rooms busy for the next couple hours. Make yourself scarce please." My hand was on the door of the main entrance when I read the text. I looked up from my phone seeing my reflection. I wasn't me, I was a young man in a blue baseball cap and jean jacket. I recognized his face, I was projecting into George. George turned around, decided to head to the library. He seemed defeated knowing he couldn't arguing with Nate. He scrolled through his phone again, searching for a different song, when a chill went up his spine. I wanted to start running, knowing what was probably about to happen, but I couldn't make him go. I couldn't force him to do anything; I could only watch and be in it. I need to warn him, how can I warn him? I felt a sting in my chest at that moment. I looked down and there was nothing. George
The hall was a mess. Men and women were running around. Everyone seemed to be scrambling trying to figure out what was happening. Everyone seemed to be in a panic trying to figure out how many ancient ones there were. The main other burning question was where we would send everyone where they would be protected and safe from any ancient ones. It seemed like everything was going to h*ll in one night. The ancient one on campus is what really set everything and everyone into a panic. That was a lot of people to try and evacuate. It forced the council to act faster than usual. If another ancient one showed up at another highly populated area we'd be in a lot of trouble. Just then I heard a loud crash outside. I could feel the earth shake under my feet. We all looked at each other frightened, thinking something was attacking the council. We all ran towards the window to see what was happening as guards poured outside to fight. They were quickly stopped as we saw the large red dragon layin
I opened the door to a very disgruntled Nate. His eyes were narrowed and his lips pressed into a thin line. He hadn’t cleaned himself off or changed clothes yet. “Hey, what’s up?” I asked, slightly confused as to why he would come see me now. “I heard about the way you had those visions. Rain, you can’t keep projecting. You could die with the person you are projecting into. So far you’ve gotten lucky and left their bodies just before their last breath.” Nate said furiously. He seemed upset at me, but I had no control over this. “In fact, I heard you died, for a moment, earlier tonight.” A small puff of smoke left his nostrils. “I have no control over this Nate. To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know what I was doing until I had died at that moment. Peregrine explained it to me a little when I came to. Trust me I don’t want to keep doing it. It scares me too.” At my words Nate's anger seemed to subside but only slightly. "That doesn't make me feel all that better, Rain." "You're
Eryn stood over me and extended his hand for me to take. I grabbed it, needing help, but I was so confused. "How are you here?" I asked him."Really Rain?" He asked as if I offended him by the question. "It's not hard to follow the path you left to get here. All I had to do was focus on you." He answered. "I didn't know I had left a path for you to follow." I admitted. "Wait, I thought you said you weren't going to watch. Why did you help me?" "I couldn't let you lose your magic." He said softly, some of that hard exterior of his shedding off. "You're still my charge and somehow I would get blamed for it." Well so much for that hard shell shedding. "Well thank you. Even if you were doing it for yourself." "I guess now you owe me two times." He smiled his devilish smile as a strand of hair fell over his face. I instinctively reached for it wanting to place it back in its spot, but I stopped myself. Eryn noticed the action though and he grabbed the wrist of my extended hand. He pul
My stomach was in knots. The feelings I had for Eryn were making more sense, but I can't handle having two mates. That's just insane. "Since you gave me this magic I can feel it more." She paused for a moment. "Rain, he's our mate too. I'm sure of it." My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest, at the speed it was beating. The butterflies in my stomach built up more and I turned to look at Eryn again. I realized that Heli was probably right. The feeling was different from Charles, but it was still there. This strange feeling I would get while seeing him was the mate bond. "Charles isn't going to be happy." I told Heli as I stared into Eryn's eyes. "Gunner will want to kill him." Heli added, and she was right. "What do we do?" I asked Heli. Eryn furrowed his brows at me wondering what was wrong. "Something on my face?" He teased me. "No sorry." I looked away blushing a bit. The butterflies in my stomach were flying around everywhere. "We'll need to see Gunner firs
Eryn had left me after I told him that I hoped we could all work. He didn't say anything to me, he just walked out. My heart broke a little when he left. What I said was true, but if I had to pick I would choose my already mated mate. I don't want to lose Eryn, but I think I'd die without Charles. I paced around the room unable to rest. I waited not so patiently for Charles to come back. I was trying to come up with the best way to tell him about Eryn, but how could I. All my attempts to explain it seemed faulty in my head. I let out a heavy sigh as I admitted defeat and plopped in the armchair. I needed Charles to accept it all. The way he and Eryn were at each other's throats made the idea seem impossible. I was chewing on my thumb nail when the door swung open. Charles' head pushed through, catching me. "What's wrong?" He asked furrowing his brows into that V. I shook my head, still not sure how to tell him. "I'm fine." His face called bullsh*t at my words. "No, you're not. Y
Charles held me close as we made our way back to our room from Stoic's office. His presence and his touch were already calming my nerves. "Rain." Charles spoke softly. "I'm not sure what it is you see or feel when you project, but know that I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you." His words felt so reassuring to me, however the thought of him fighting an ancient one made my stomach hurt. I know that he's strong, stronger than most wolfs, but the ancient ones are so powerful. I hope that we never have to find out who would win, Charles or an ancient one. He rubbed the back of my hand with his thumb as our room came into view. I just wanted to curl back into bed and try to sleep. Although I know sleep won't find me again tonight. I wish I knew who was chained to the wall of a cave right now. I wish the tree would show me who was controlling the ancient ones. I wish I knew something that could actually help us.Charles opened the door to the room and the butterflies in my stom
Charles closed the door behind him, and again I felt a slight twinge of guilt. I got up from the bed deciding to join Charles in the bathroom not wanting to cause him any more pain right now. Eryn's arms snaked around my naked waist unexpectedly. He had gotten up from the chair when I wasn't looking. He kissed the nape of my neck sending a warm feeling down my spine straight to my core. I let out a breath, as my chest rose. "You're so beautiful when you cum, Rain." He whispered. "I want to hear you scream my name next." My knees were weak at his words, causing me to lean back against him. "Will you let me?" I let my teeth hold my bottom lip hostage wanting desperately to claim my mate, but I wasn't sure it was the best idea to do it with Charles in the next room. I didn't want him to hear and be hurt by it. Eryn trailed his hand up to my breast tracing small circles around my n*pple. My resolve quickly vanished under his touch.Eryn continued gently kissing my neck and my shoulder.
