He woke up to find her smiling at him. Isabella had contacted her family and told her that her distant relatives consisted of more witches and that they would be here next week. Declan’s face lit up. He then got up and held her and kissed her. He stroked her hair and began to kiss her entire face. She blushed.
“Have I ever told you that you are the most amazing woman that I know?” he said as he planted another kiss on her lips.
She smiled and simply said, “I know.” He then slapped her bottom and pulled her in even closer. He then pulled her hair and began caressing and kissing her neck. He clearly wanted more of her. She too wanted him. He picked up and carried her back to the bed. It was time for round two.
Chapter 31
The Beginning and End
Isabella’s family had finally arrived. Her two aunts and three cousins stayed at Anthony’s house and made themselves quite comfortable. They seemed to enjoy Declan’s company and Declan was quite pleased to hear that. He looked at Isabella and smiled. They had gathered all of the necessary supplies to conduct the spell. Herbs and crystals seemed to be in abundance. Normally Anthony would be annoyed at the fact of having so many visitors but he knew it was for a good cause. He peaked outside of his room and then locked the door. Jacinta waited for him to come back to bed. She needed someone to cuddle with. He found his way back to her and wrapped his arm around her. He then kissed her.
“Baby, I think I found a date. I think we should have the wedding two weeks from now.”
He looked at her and smiled. He stroked her hair and kissed her.
“Good now we have a date.” He kissed her cheek. “There’s so many of them here that I don’t even feel like it’s my house anymore.” He groaned.
“Hey, they will be gone soon and then we will have the house back to ourselves,” she smiled at him. She rubbed his arms. He then plopped down on the bed and let out another groan. She kissed him and told him to be patient. He looked at her. He wanted her right now but felt uncomfortable because there were so many guests in the house. She sighed and they began talking about wedding plans. They decided on the location and the number of guests that they should have. She wanted a small wedding but it needed to be elegant. He realized that her face lit up as she began discussing these plans and he didn’t mind. He liked the fact that the idea of marrying him excited her. There was no one else that he wanted to spend his life with. When she was finished, she looked around his room and began to properly inspect each and every item. She did want to fix a few things in his room but she would get to that eventually. Then she remembered. Tonight was the night that they would finally kill Mark. She was glad that she remembered this. They were both ready to help the witches kill him. They left his home and headed to Jacinta’s house. Everyone else was there ready and waiting. The witches set up the items and began preparing for the spell. They made sure that they were well rested and fully prepared. They first did a protection spell on themselves and then the rest of the group. They then made their way to the forest. When they found a suitable spot, they drew a circle and chanted some words. It was a trapping spell. They then summed Mark to the location. At first, nothing happened. The night was cold and the wind just rustled through the leaves. Then he appeared out of nowhere. He realized that it was a coven. They had trapped him within the circle. He didn’t expect this to happen again and now he was trapped.
“Let me out before I kill you all!”
They began to mutter some words. He started to feel funny. His skin began to vibrate and his heart rate decreased. He slowly fell to the floor. He began to wheeze. He kept begging for them to stop. He was beginning to run out of air and then he passed out. The spell was not over. His breathing was shallow and he felt himself slowly dying. It was a painful death. He began to throw up and was coughing blood. He then gave into the torture and his vitals declined. He was completely dead.
Chapter 32
A New Chapter
Jacinta looked on and thought that this was just too easy. His demise shouldn’t have been so quick. She looked at his body. It was completely still. After everything that the group had been through, she found it hard to believe that good things could just happen that easily. It was over. They rejoiced. Anthony looked at him and then he ripped out his heart. Jacinta gasped at his actions.
“Just in case,” he said. He dropped the heart to the floor. The witches decided to collect the heart and store it in case they needed it for another spell. They headed back to the house. Jacinta was still stunned by Anthony’s actions but she knew that it had to be done. As soon they reached the house, she made her way to the bathroom and began to throw up. She then ran to the bathroom that was connected to her room and began to brush her teeth. What she just saw scared her. She didn’t know Anthony had that much potential to kill. She then heard a knock on the door.
“Babe, do you want to talk about it?” It was Anthony. He was concerned that she was taking a long time in the bathroom. She then came out and looked at Anthony.
“I have never seen that in real life. It’s terrifying.” He then pulled her to him and hugged her.
“I know. I am sorry that you had to see me like that. I just was tired of everything that had happened and I wanted to be sure. I am sorry and I hope that this doesn’t change anything.” He held onto her. She sighed. She loved him and knew that he was only doing this to protect her. He knew that something was different and that she was second guessing who he was.
“I know what you are thinking. Remember that we are connected and that I will know these things. Look, you don’t have to worry about me becoming a vicious person. But when it comes to your safety, I will do anything it takes to protect you. I am sorry if that means that I might kill another living creature in order to do so but you are my life and my world and soon enough, you will be my wife,” he held her face and looked directly into her eyes. “I only want you to be safe.” He began to kiss her increasing the passion slowly. She then gave in to it relinquishing control and restrain. He then lifted her and kissed her. He then put her down, “I think we should announce that we are getting married in two weeks. It’s time that we really finalized these plans.” He said as he slapped her. He then stroked her face and held her hand and walked with her downstairs.
“Hi, we have something that we would like to announce.” Everyone in the room looked at them. “We have decided on a date!” Everyone was pleased to hear that. Her parents rejoiced at the news and her mother left the room to look for her old wedding dress. Isabella had offered to be her wedding planner. Declan began to joke about Anthony becoming an old man and kept welcoming Jacinta to the family. Clearly, Declan had one too many drinks. He then staggered to the couch and fell asleep. Anthony looked at the future bride and smiled. She smiled back at him. She knew that this was the best decision that she could possibly make. After everyone had congratulated them, they left the house and headed back to Anthony’s place to celebrate.
Two weeks later, she was walking down the aisle with her father. She looked beautiful. All eyes were on her. She wasn’t used to this much attention and was slightly nervous but she knew she deserved it. She passed Isabella and Declan, who seemed to have found a hat suitable for the occasion. He then lifted it off and tipped it into her direction. She smiled and continued walking down the aisle. She was greeted with numerous smiles and she felt special. This was her day and everyone wanted to see and experience this moment. She knew in her heart that this was the right man for her and as she drew nearer to him, she was excited and longed to be by his side today and for the rest of her life. She was glad that her mother’s dress actually fit it. It was one less thing for her to worry about. She thought about moving in with Anthony and finally being on her own. She knew that she would miss her parents but she needed to make that change. Also, she was used to Anthony’s house. She then made her way to the end of the aisle. Anthony smiled at her. She looked breathtaking and he couldn’t believe that she was going to be his future wife.
The priest had begun the ceremony and had asked them to recite their vows. This was easy for both of them as they had already told each other these things numerous times in the past. But, they didn’t care for they believed that they needed to be repeated. When they were finished, Jacinta threw the bouquet and Isabella caught it. Isabella beamed and Declan kissed her. Anthony began to joke about another wedding between the two of them and she wasn’t surprised. After the reception, they left to go on their honeymoon. They were headed to France. They slept for most of the flight and when they got there, they headed straight for the hotel. He carried her across the threshold and gently placed her on the bed. She laughed, “Are you ready for me?” He nodded and said, “Well, we were already practicing,” he said as he brought her onto the bed and kissed her. He then turned off the lights and began the first night of many nights with his wife.
Here is a sample from another story that you may enjoy:
“Hello, this is Dr. Pearson, from the fertility clinic. Kaeden, we’ve found your match. The one you’ve been looking for all this time, we finally found her! Give me a call, she is due back in two days for the procedure. Call me back.”
“…Kaeden, This is Dr. Pearson again. I know we are supposed to confirm with you before going ahead, but we’ll never find a better match, and she more than meets all of your criteria. She’s coming in today for the operation. Please…call me back immediately.”
Kaeden cursed as he pressed the red button to skip to the next message and held the phone to his ear, straining to hear the words over the pounding of his heart. Finally, after all these years, a true match! He couldn't wrap his mind around it. And it had already happened…he checked the date of the first two messages…almost ten days ago, and he hadn’t been there!
He cursed again, this time directed at the Sanctuary Ranch, and its lack of cell phone reception, where he had been for the past two weeks trying to diffuse the ever-worsening situation between Rafe and Luca. His brothers were going to be the death of him.
Sanctuary was an oasis for down-on-their-luck Shifters from all over the Great Plains. He should know, he had shown up with two younger brothers, still just cubs, and a giant chip on his shoulder, and they had taken them in, no questions asked. So when Mama Jones called telling him his idiot brothers were causing problems at the ranch, he had dropped everything and immediately headed there to straighten them out. He loved his brothers, but really, they were going to kill him.
“Hi, Dr. Pearson here. Kaeden, call me back as soon as possible. She’s coming in this afternoon for the follow-up. We will see if the procedure worked…Just…call me back!”
Kaeden looked at the time of the message, then up at the clock flashing red from the dash of his truck. The last message was from just under an hour ago. The clinic was about a three hour drive from the ranch, if he hurried he might just get there in time to catch her. He grinned at the thought, threw the old pick-up into gear, and slammed his boot into the gas pedal. Disbelief and doubt warred with excitement as he made his way toward the Doc, this mystery woman, and he dared hope, his future child.
Amelia Price stared at the mint green clock ticking annoyingly, aggravatingly on the equally mint green wall of the waiting room. Normally, she found the the soft grey and light green color scheme of the Jackson Fertility Clinic soothing, but not today. No, especially not today. Today was not just any day. Today was the day she would find out if the procedure had worked, and if she was really, truly pregnant.
