Chapter 2

“We were created by the gods to fulfill our destiny. Our destiny lies together.” He said softly moving towards me.

I flinched backwards at the sudden movement. He stopped approaching but was now sitting closer.  

“I have been watching you for 13 months. Finding you this time was…a challenge.”

“You created this crystal 1000 years ago. It acts as a shield or a cloak against anyone with physic abilities.”

He tossed me the crystal and I snatched it out of the air. I was sucked into a memory. I was standing over the cauldron with the crystal just finished the ruins, dipping it into the cauldron.

I wavered in my seat as my vision blurred coming back and dizziness threatening nausea. I reached out my hand to steady myself dropping the knife, before setting my hand on the blade.

I hissed at the pain and could smell the blood. I felt my shoulders burst into flames when large hands gripped them to steady me. A whimper escaped me as the area around me spun.

I felt him adjust my body onto his and he laid under me. It felt so good, I didn’t have time to give it a second thought before I was pulled into another memory.

Memories overloaded my brain as I tried to process so many lifetimes. Alexander was right, he was my other half, my mate, my oxygen. How had I lived for so long without him? I could feel my body shaking as it processed all the information.

Wolves? Wait, we are wolves. I have always been a wolf, why did I not shift this time? Why has this life been so different? Are we being punished for something?

The memories finally stopped at the end of my recent previous life. I was on my knees, multiple chains binding me, suppressing my magic.

The Alpha of the Outlaw pack stood by my chained mate. I was screaming my eyes glowing red trying to overpower the chains. I couldn’t shift, I couldn’t save him.

The alpha ripped Alexander’s head from his shoulders. Tossing it in front of me. I felt my soul shatter. I looked deep into the eyes of the alpha with a single tear dropping from my eye.

“I’ll see you around.”

I said in a tone that caused the wolves around us to shake. I closed my eyes exhaling my last breath, effectively stopping my heart. I didn’t need magic; it was already broken.

I felt Lex’s lips press against mine as I began to wake up. I could hear someone yelling in the distance. My heart leapt at the feeling and I deepened the kiss. He pushed me to the ground before disappearing.

“Astrid, for the love of…” Kilian was yelling as he approached my tossed body laying on the blanket.

“What are you doing out here?” He was irate.

“Did you cut yourself? Why did you cut the blanket and not just come inside? What the hell are you thinking?” He was almost yelling.

“I was meditating, I must have fallen asleep. I didn’t want to break my concentration and go inside; I only took the knife out because I saw a dog.” I explained rolling my eyes.

“Because sleeping alone in the woods at 3 AM is a great idea!” He was now yelling.

“3 AM?” I responded stunned.

It was only around 10:00 PM when I came outside, Lex showed up right after that… I forgot about Alexander. No wonder he took off like that.

Then it hit me. What was I doing? Kilian is my husband. Yes, Alexander is… well everything. How do I even find him?

I lifted myself up pushing my hand down on a piece of paper. I balled it up in my hand picking up the blanket, the candle left a wax stain when it burnt out.

            I followed Kilian back to the house quietly. I could still sense his anger and I was overcome with guilt.

            “I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to fall asleep out there.” I said softly.

            “I know you didn’t.” He said giving me a small smile.

            Once we were inside, I went into the bathroom to clean my hand. I unwrinkled the paper to read it.

Princess

Lunch tomorrow

1:30

Meet here, I’ll bring the food

Always,

Lex

            I placed the paper in the trash before attending to my cut. It was healing quickly. It wasn’t as quick as what I remember in the past. My wolf abilities usually strengthened it.

I started to get concerned about shifting. I wasn’t born of wolves this time, maybe I won’t have ability to shift.

I walked out of the bathroom into the bedroom to see Kilian naked rubbing his shaft. I sighed internally. It’s not that I didn’t love him anymore, but now I had mixed emotions of Lex filling my soul and brain.

“I know I’ve been distracted the last few weeks…” He said trying to be seductive.

“I figured I would be ready for you when you came out.”

He was up on his knees crossing the bed towards me. He was right, he had ignored me for the last 3 weeks with not as much of a kiss. I wanted to be touched so badly.

I don’t think Alexander expects me to just stop being married right now. He had been watching from the sidelines for a year, what’s a few more nights while I figure this out? I decided.

I closed the distance of the room taking my shirt off, leaving my green bralette on. I stopped just before the bed removing my leggings leaving the thong.

“Better just take those off too.” He said pointing to my panties.

I slipped them off and crawled onto the bed. Kilian crushed his lips against mine, pulling me in. He slid onto his back pulling my thighs to straddle him. I felt his erection against my center.

I gently rolled my hips against him. He groaned at the feeling. I moved my kiss from his lips down his neck. I spun myself around to align my mouth with his manhood. I took it in my hand massaging it up and down.

He bucked his hips forward begging access to my mouth. I gladly obliged, tracing the tip with my tongue before granting it access.

I helped his shaft bury deep into my throat causing a moan to surround him. I began to thrust my head up and down when he grabbed me pulling me up.

“Sorry, its been to long, you’ll make it to quick.” He said apologetically.

“Okay” I said simply with a small smiling still massaging him.

He pulled me onto him sliding his member into me. I moved back and forth; my nerves happy to be alive again. I could feel his climax was close, I reached down flicking my bean to bring my climax sooner.

He grabbed my hips digging into them as his climax washed over him. The slight pain causing more pleasure to coarse though my veins.

I slowly moved myself off him and he rolled over going to sleep. I went and took a shower before heading to the couch to sleep for the night.
