“Exsanguinate curse. It’s similar to how a feral drains its victim’s powers after a bite. Basically, it will bleed its victim until it returns to the caster. It’s either death or return. The spell is active until the caster, or victim, dies.”“Are you kidding me?” Owen yells.“Yeah, and the thing is, the further the caster, the stronger the spell.” I say as I plop my face on the bed.“So how did you break it last time?”“I died.” I hate doing that.“No, seriously.” He slightly chuckles, his voice high in his anxiety.Vanna takes over. “She is. Isaac stabs herself with her blessed blade, and I simulate death long enough for the spell to break. I stop her heart by forcing her blood to stop. Unfortunately, it’ll knock her out for a week, and it makes her grumpy. And grumpy is putting it nicely. Nightmare is only half of it. As in, she will attempt to kill the next living thing she sees if you even breathe too loud.”“I told you I had a migraine,” I mutter defensively.“Oh just die alrea
“Elayna and I started talking, and she was so sweet. She had such strength in her words and her laugh that I couldn’t believe she was sick. Elayna wouldn’t stop talking about her brothers. Silas and Morgain, especially Morgain. She tried bragging to me about him, by saying they had secret names for each other and everything. I believe her favorite moment with you two was when Morgain took a cooked pig, removed all the stuffing from its carved out carcass, and put it on the seat of a man she liked, instantly scaring him. It’s her last memory of the three of you together, which is why she loved it. It was right before she got so sick.“Anyway, after a while, she started feeling tired and she didn’t want me to leave since she said she was always alone. Elayna started having a panic attack when I told her that I’d just come back after she was awake. To calm her, I slept with her. I laid right next to her until she had woken every single time for the next two years.“It wasn’t long before
“It’s the season. That’s all it was.” Serina growls.“Maybe, but either way, manipulating her is a sure fire way to lose her again.”“She’ll never find out.”“Oh, I think she will,” I say with a murderous tone my entire body vibrating with rage. I knew she hadn’t changed. “No one, and I mean no one, is allowed to have any influence on my social life, other than me. Now, if you two would kindly shut up and go somewhere else, that would be the best thing for you.”“Isaac ,” Serina says quickly as she reaches for me.“Mom, I swear I’ll renounce my title this instant if you so much as breathe in my direction. I’m not a complacent little doll for you to control. I am a warrior. I am a fighter. I am me, not what you want me to be. Accept it or not, because it will never change who or what I am.” I turn sharply on my heel at that point. If she wants the perfect princess, she should stay with my sister. My worth is of my own choosing and grows under my guidance. Not hers.I stalk into my room
“Right?” I say, with as much surprise in my voice as his. “I was about to kill the last one from that group that attacked me, and she started laughing. Laughing, Silas. I was so stunned that it stopped my blade.” I snap my finger, summoning the blade to me.I hold up the blade, showing the twelve inch long spine of it to him. “That would be the end of her. We started talking and I found out that Mike has been working with them. I was starting to feel for him until he bit me.” I roll my eyes. “I can’t figure him out. I understand his actions for the most part, but he’s still an asshole.”Silas gives me a surprised look. “You understand him?”I shrug. “To catch someone, you have to think like them. It’s easy to empathize, especially when you’ve been traumatized. Mike went after so many werewolves, since they were part of the pack that annihilated his original pack. However, this killing spree and goal, I can’t figure out. I can understand him understanding ferals since he likely ident
“Well, this will be a treat,” I tease as I slowly reach into his pants and gently touch his shaft, making him moan as his back arches. As I stroke, I slowly lower his trousers as I kiss around his waistline.“What do you mean?” He asks, trying to engage his brain to distract what’s going on with his second head.“Haven’t you had a woman swallow you?” I ask as I slowly lower my head towards my hand.“No.” He breathes.“Would you like to experience it?” I chuckle as he lets out a low moan.“Yes please,” he begs in a hard breath as I lick the length of it, still moving my hand in smooth firm strokes. I open my mouth, hearing him take in a sharp breath that’s released in a pleasure moan, as I take him in. He grabs my head and my shoulders as I move my mouth up and down, moving my tongue as I suck hard while still stroking with my hand. I move my free hand to fondle his jewels in a very experimental touch to see how he responds. His body arcs as his breathing becomes harder, letting pleasu
“We might want to head back then. It’s also about time for Owen to remove these stitches.” I walk over to the log that is still lit and let it die. “Also, do not tell anyone about this place. This is literally my only safe haven.”“Understood.” Silas says with a bit of surprise. I agree with him. I can’t believe Wilson led him here. It’s almost infuriating how much she likes and trusts him.I walk over to the curtain on the wall and move it, opening the cavern to some harsh sunlight. It’s almost midday. As I stick out my wing Silas is watching me. I can’t read his expression as I slowly disappear through the crack. The wind is harsh today as I push myself against the rocks. It’s whipping my hair wildly, and I wish I had put on a hood and pulled my hair up. Also, the sea spray is making the rocks slicker than normal due to the increased amount of wind.Silas follows, keeping his movements restricted. As I scale down the cliff, his movements are slow and hesitant. I can see his legs sha
“Isaac , where have you been?” Vanna gasps as she races towards me. After giving me a hug she turns around and keeps her arms on my waist. “And this bastard kissed me.”“I gathered that, but why?” I demand from Owen.“Right? Like I get why he would you, but not me.”We both look at Owen. He grabs his head. “I don’t know! I woke up from my nap really out of it. Everything feels different. I’m not even attracted to Isaac right now.”Vanna and I exchange glances. “Really?” I ask him as I walk towards him. “Try smelling me.” I hold my wrist out to him.He takes a sniff. “Nothing.”“Okay…” I say as I take a step back. “I’m still attracted to him.” I whisper to Vanna.“What about now?” Vanna asks as she yanks down my skirt.“Vanna!” I exclaim as I pull my skirt back up.“Nothing!” Owen yells. “I need to lay down.” He races towards the door as we watch him go.“What is going on with him?” Vanna asks.“I don’t know, but I do agree this mating season is different.” I say as I turn around and
“Are you planning on staying here long?” She asks, prodding me gently.“Most likely. At least until this awful season is over with. I can’t leave the safety of the water without that disgusting dog trying to bite me.”“Do you know who he is? You should get the authorities involved.”“I met him at a party. One of those costume ones. I don’t know what he looks like.” I answer, almost honestly. The fact that Mike won’t show me his face, is by design. If I knew what he looked like, I could submit a request for a warrant with the Guardian Committee, which would spread to all associated groups, which would expose him and limit his public actions.“Interesting.” She says as she moves from my tail and starts on my back. “So how are you staying safe?”“Just staying in the ocean I guess.” I answer in an irritated tone, implying I’m annoyed by basically repeating my answer from before. She falls silent and finishes up.Once she gives the all clear, I sit up and smile. “Thank you.” I touch the w
