Forbidden Mate: Awakening

“You actually think you can defeat me, bitch?” Audrey sneered. “You may have some fancy powers, but you’re no match for me.”

I didn’t respond. I was solely focused on unleashing the potential building up in me. I knew I had to be careful because Audrey was a skilled and cunning fighter.

We stood in front of each other. The sunlight filtered through the trees, creating dancing figures of light beneath us. My determined gaze glowed with my Guardian powers finally surfacing, while Audrey’s dark eyes reflected her dark magic.

The clash of our powers sent shockwaves through the air. With a hand gesture, I created a shining Guardian shield to protect myself from Audrey’s dark magic. Audrey, with a wicked grin, launched black energy towards me, testing my defenses.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“So you’ve got some fancy powers now? Let’s see how you fair with them.” She snorted.

Our fight grew stronger, and the ground trembled from the power of the clashes. I moved with grace, using my energy to fight back. Audrey was fast and avoided all my attacks. She was only fixated on winning.

The forest felt tense as we circled each other again, ready for the next move. Beads of sweat ran down my temple. Audrey sent shadowy creatures towards me, but I easily dispelled them with my Guardian powers, my palms glowing brightly.

Audrey’s laughter echoed through the forest, a chilling sound that made the atmosphere darker. “You think your fancy powers can match the darkness I wield?” she taunted.

I remained undeterred. “I won’t let you harm the pack or anyone else,” I retorted.

Our battle continued with powerful clashes of light and darkness. My Guardian powers pulsated, and I unleashed a bright burst of energy. Audrey fought back with dark magic, making it seem like a close match.

But the love for everything I cherished and my strong will made my powers even stronger. I thought of Adrian, Sarah, Theo, Aunt Belinda, my parents and everyone else in my pack. Audrey’s reign of terror would end there and then. She would not harm or threaten anyone else I knew and cared about.

Despite the intensity of the fight, I remained calm and centered, drawing on the power within me. I knew that I had to tap deeper into my Guardian powers if I wanted to stand a chance against Audrey.

With another blast of energy, I unleashed my Guardian powers. The ground vibrated with the force of my strength. I could feel the power flowing through me and filling me with more courage.

I pushed against her dark magic and gained an advantage. Her dark energy weakened as she struggled to keep control.

As the battle reached its peak, I used my strongest attack. A bright beam of light shot from my other hand, surrounding Audrey.

Audrey’s eyes widened in surprise and fear as she saw my transformation. “What are you?” she gasped, taken aback by my display of power.

“I am your end,” I said in a firm voicem. “I won’t let you hurt anyone else.”

The dark magic around Audrey dissipated, and she screamed in pain.

With another burst of power, I sent Audrey flying into a tree. She fell unconscious, and the forest grew quiet again.

I walked towards her carefully, staying alert. I knew Audrey was still dangerous, even though she looked defeated.

“You may have dark magic, but I have something far stronger,” I said.

“Arhhh!” She screamed but couldn’t do anything because she was temporarily paralyzed.

“It’s over, Audrey,” I declared. “Your reign of terror ends here.”

Audrey glared up at me, hatred burning in her eyes. “You may have won this battle, but you haven’t seen the last of me,” she hissed.

I didn’t falter. “We’ll be ready for you,” I said. “And we’ll protect our pack, no matter what you send our way.”

With that, I turned away, leaving her defeated and alone. I knew that our fight wasn’t over, but for now, I had won a crucial victory. Now I knew I could defeat her, I knew I could also end her once and for all.

With Audrey defeated, the forest felt calmer.

I felt grateful for the powers and strength I had inside me. The trees seemed to celebrate my victory as the leaves rustled gently in the breeze. I knew that my Guardian powers came with a great responsibility but I was ready to protect my pack with them.

After walking away from the area, I saw Adrian running towards me. I wanted to protest why he stayed but as exhausted and relieved as I was, we embraced each other tightly.

“You did it,” Adrian whispered and smiled in my hair.

“You didn’t leave…”

“How could I?”

I smiled softly, looking into his eyes. “I did it,” I replied, surprised by my own actions. I knew it’s because of his presence I had strength to defeat Audrey. He didn’t leave me. My heart swelled with love for him.

We then turned our attention to Tyler, who was still in shock from the events that unfolded. Adrian walked over to him and crouched down, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.

“Jaxon, are you okay?” Adrian asked with concern.

Jaxon nodded, his eyes wide with both fear and wonder. “I-I think so,” he stammered.

I joined them, placing a comforting hand on Tyler’s arm. “Your wound is healing naturally,” I told him whilst looking at his wound.

Jaxon looked up at us, his eyes shining with gratitude. “You both saved me,” he said softly. “I don’t know what would’ve happened to me if you guys didn’t come in time.”

I nodded curtly. “We need to get you home.”

With Audrey defeated, Adrian and I decided to return to the grove. Carrying Tyler between us, we made our way back.

Back in the forest, a strange dark fog began to sorround Audrey’s limp body. Her eyes suddenly opened, glowing red, and the air fell heavy with an unsettling energy.

~~~~~~~~

As we approached the grove, we saw the familiar faces of our pack members waiting for us. Most of them stood outside.

Sarah and Aunt Belinda rushed over, concern on their faces.

Aunt Belinda immediately recognised Jaxon, “Jaxon? Is that Jaxon?” Aunt Belinda went to hold his hand as I removed mine from his shoulder.

Adrian said, “We need to get him treated.

I saw Sarah’s confused face and knew something was wrong. “What happened?” I asked, my eyes scanning their expressions.

Jaxon was escorted away by Aunt Belinda and some other people.

Then I saw my father. He looked like he saw a ghost. I glanced at Sarah and she also had the same facial expression.

“What happened? Someone please talk to me.”

Adrian looked back and saw what was happening.

I walked up to my dad and held his hands, “Dad?”

Then I saw the doctor who treated my mom emerging from my house and ran up to him, “Please what’s wrong? Why’s everyone outside? What happened to my dad? Is everything alright?”

He adjusted the glasses on his nose bridge and then looked at me with pity. His hesitation spoke for him before he said, “I’m sorry. Your mother has just passed away.”
