Kadvas eyes have an zure blue huo reminiscent of line diamonds. His heart shaped face is framed by
his snow-white hair.
He is a sight to behold, and he exudes exquisite beauty
He is young and appears to be around my age. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Reaper swoops down and settles on my shoulder,
Kadva, it’s all over now. The wolf council is no longer alive, I tell him.
Kadva scans the strewn bodies and is taken aback to see the bodies of Alpha Bennet and Alpha Amir.
Kadva laughs, but in a relieved tone, ‘They’re dead?’ he asks,
Yes, but why were you following their orders?’ | ask.
They were going 10 inform the humans about me and the location of my whereabouts if I disobeyed
their commands. I didn’t want to be taken hostage and subjected to their experiments,
That’s never going to happen, Kadva, now that they’re gone. Are there any friends or family members?’
| ask.
He shakes his head, ‘No, he says. I don’t have anyone!
I look 10 Magnus and Alec and Mind-link them, ‘I think we should ask Kadva to join our pack? He is
alone. He was afraid Alpha Bennet would hand him over to the humans for experimentation’ I explain.
Alec and Magnus exchange glances, then return their gaze to me and nod in agreement.
I wave my wand and break the spell on Kadva. He can now freely move his arms and legs. But, before
I can ask him to join our pack, we are surrounded by soldiers,
Stand downl’ a soldier yells, ‘Lower your weapons and put your hands on your head,
Alec rushes forwards and appears in front of me in an instant. ‘She is not coming with you, Alec hisses.
Grimghouls and Shadow Reapers reassemble behind me, prepared to strike the soldiers at any time.
Magnus stands besides me in wolf form, growling at the troops, I rest my hand on his head and say,
‘It’s all right. I’m going to speak with them and attempt to diffuse this situation, all right?” I say as I take
a step forwards in front of Alec. What are you doing, Nina?” he gently touches my arm.
‘I want to speak with them,
‘Fine, but don’t get any closer to them,” he says.
‘My name is Nina, Luna of the Shadow Crest pack. Trespectfully request that you lay down your
firearms, ‘We are not here to fight, I exclaim
The soldiers exchange glances and then return my gaze.
‘Who or what are you? How did you get here? A soldier chouis.
I am half-werewolf and half-witch. Behind me stands Alec, the varnpire king, and Magnus, the Shadow
Crest pack’s Alpha and this is Kadva, the mage. We have been living here unnoticed and oway from
human society for centuries.
The soldiers exchange shocked mutterings.
The wolf council is responsible for the attack on your city, but they have been eliminated. We hope to
peacefully return to our territory and for you to return to yours.
Those two were in the city, causing chaos and destruction along with those creatures! A soldier states
pointing to the Grimghouls and Shadow Reapers,
They didn’t have a choice. They were forced into it, I explain.
‘Lies! They attacked us once. They will attack us again,’ another shouls. They immediately begin firing
at us. Alec envelops me in his cloak, lifts me, and vanishes into the distance. Magnus follows us in wolf
form along with Kadva and Reaper. The Grimghouls
and Shadow Reapers slow the soldiers down, allowing us time to pscape,
I clutch Alec’s shirt fitely and lay my head on his chest. He kissen my forehead,
“It feels incredible to have you back in my arms, he smiles,
“It’s good to be back in them and see you free of that dungeon,’ I say
peer over his shoulder and notice Magnus is having difficulty keeping up. Something is wrong.
Alec, please stop. Something is wrong with Magnus.’ He comes to a holland gently places me down. I
oprint over to Magnus and observe blood on his leg.
Shift,’ I tell him
When he shifts back, I can see that a bullet has pierced his arm and is bleeding heavily.
I’ll be fine. We need to get back to Shadow Crest,’ he says,
‘No, the bullet is still in there. It will heal quickly ill remove 11,’
Magnus sighs in defeat, and I dig two singers inside the wound. Magnus masks the pain well. Ironove
the bullet. Over the next few minutes, the wound has sealed up and healed.
We shift into our wolves and run towards Shadow Crest with Alec, Reaper and Kadva following. It’s the
early hours of the morning when we arrive home. Kadva halts before entering the pack house. He
seems apprehensive.
‘Kadva, you’re with us now. We want you to join our pack.’
‘You would welcome me into your pack?’ His face brightens up with a smile. ‘Even after I had
kidnapped you?’
“You abducted me because you were forced to, but you never injured me, nor did you wish to hurt me, I
say with a smile. Come on, let us have breakfast together.’ I grin.
He gives me a nod and follows me into the pack house. Yiselda, Fern, May, Lilac, Ela, and Ria all dash
down the stairwell in unison. We all hug and weep at Pandora’s Box’s demise.
I’m so sorry, Yiselda,’ I frown.
‘It’s something I will have to learn to come to terms with, but I’m glad you are all sale and back home,’
she says.
Yiselda raises an eyebrow at Alec and approaches him. ‘Alec, I’m at a loss for words. I was certain
you’d kill the humans, but you didn’t. You proved me wrong, and I want 10 express my gratitude: Alec
nods but maintains silence.
‘Who is this gorgeous gentleman!?’ Lilac squeals, looking at Kadva, who is now flushing from the
witches’ attention.
‘Girls, this is Kadva. He is a mage and will be staying with us, I explain.
They all squeal and crowd around him, stroking his arms, lace, and chest Nirtatiously.
‘Um, help?’ He says, his gaze fixed on me.
‘Girls, cut him some slack. He has only arrived. I’m sure you’ll all have plenty of opportunities to spend
time with him, but for now, let’s eat! I say taking my seat at the table.
We are all exhausted. We finish our breakfast.
We are all exhausted. We finish our breakfast, ‘Kadva, Aleo, we have more sleeping quarters upstairs.
‘Follow me, I say with a smile.
‘This can be your room Kadva,’ I say.
Thank you it’s a nice room, I’m completely drained from travelling all night. I’m also going to sleep, he
says.
I show Alec the room next door to mine and Magnus’s,
“You can sleep in this room. Alec casts a perplexed glance my way, ‘Is there a problem?’ | ask.
‘Vampires don’t sleep.
‘Oh? Okay, so this may be the room that provides you with your own private space to have time alone?’
This will be your room too?” he asks, h inting that he would desire to have me in there with him at
times. I smile and nod.
Magnus tenderly takes my hand and leads me to our room. He carries me to our bed and covers me
with kisses before we make intimate love and fall asleep.
