Maureens POV

I wasn’t planning on telling Landyn about my little secret. Truth is that all the witches that are able to teleport have this unspoken bond to never mention the power our ancestors give us in order to protect ourselves. I think mostly because we never know when they will grant us access to it.

Potentially, someone could try to use us for the power, not understanding that we have literally no control over it or when it can be used.

When the power came to me, I had a gut-wrenching feeling that Landyn wouldn’t be able to take on these six rogues. I heard wolves were powerful and that a lot of the higher ranked members could take more than one. But something was telling me that the rogues had a little something extra up their sleeves that could help them take Landyn down.

I wasn’t scared for myself, I was scared for him in that moment. Just this short time we’ve been together, I felt a pull or a bond a lot like finding your beloved. I knew he was going to be something really special in my life. I just didn’t know to what extent.

When he started to leave my side and head towards the rogues, I felt my hand get warm, really warm, actually, and they started to glow. I know this was my cue, that my ancestors were going to help with these rogues, and I let the power consume me.

I just had to picture what I wanted to happen, and it would happen. I left the part out when I told Landyn. I didn’t want him to think I was crazy with all the gore.

I just knew I needed to end this quickly, and I never used the power against six rogues. Before, it was just against one very awful warlock, and I would take it to the grave. Right now, they think he just took off for a while, like he often did.

He was friends with my dad and Marvin, and if I hadn’t killed him, I didn’t think anyone else would have.

When Silas rejected me. It apparently gave warlocks a free pass to hit on me, and one just pressed too hard after my dad passed. He was older than my father for crying out loud. But still close friends. I can still smell his foul breath on my neck and cheek.

Flashback

We just found his body, my dad’s body. The only family I had left. His body was cold to the touch. I knew he had to have been there awhile.

I sat there in shock, not fully understanding what happened. I hadn’t even noticed the vile of posion in his hand and the black streaks on his neck till Marvin pointed it out to the others.

I was frozen in place. I felt a rage in my chest and hands like I’ve never felt before.

I look up to see Silas holding hands with some red head he was leading to his bedroom. He looked back and smirked back at me and kept walking, not caring that my father was dead in the room across to his.

I got up and ran, and i didn’t stop till I got out of the house and to the edge of the woods. I heard footsteps running after me, and every ounce of me was anxious and hoping it was Silas.

I was hoping he saw how bad I was hurting and that i needed him. Even though he rejected me, part of him had to care for me. We’ve known each other since we were in diapers.

I turned around to see Dennis. Part of me was shocked, and the other part of me wasn’t. I relaxed, some realizing it was him.

But his eyes were different. They were dark, malicious, and filled with l**t.

I gulped in fear. For the first time, i was scared of him, scared what he was going to do to me.

I finally spoke. “Um, uncle Dennis, is everything okay?”

He looked at me with complete repulsion. He gritted through his teeth. “Don’t call me that. I don’t want you to see me as an uncle. Not anymore. “

I looked at him confused. He wasn’t implying what i think he was, was he? I stuttered out. “Wh what , do you mean?”

“Now that your beloved rejected you and your father can’t object to my urges. I want you, Maureen, I will finally have you.” He came close enough to touch me and brush a hair out of my face.

I flinched under his touch and backed away against a tree. My heart was racing. I couldn’t hide the fear I felt.

He seemed to enjoy the fact that I was scared. The l**t grew in his eyes. “Now, now don’t be acting like you haven’t wanted me. You’ve been teasing me for years in your little outfits. “

The anger in me was returning and replacing the fear i had. “What do you mean my little outfits? Why did my clothes make you think that I wanted an old man?”

I regretted saying the last part. I could tell he was getting angry now. “Yes, you purposely were wearing those skirts and those jeans, those very tight jeans. You were baiting me. If it wasn’t for your dad, I would have taken you sooner. You’ve been quite the little tease.”

Now I was fuming. “How dare you suggest that how I dress was an invitation for you to think that I wanted you. How I dress has nothing to do with who is invited in my bed or the right for you to force whatever this is.”

“Just face it, Maureen, you should be honored that I want you. You’re rejected and damaged. No one is going to want you.

“This would be rape.”

“Not if anyone doesn’t find out, then it wouldn’t be.”

He stepped forward, quickly pinning me against the tree that I was backed into. He placed my hands over my head, holding me in place. He inched his face closer, running his lips on my neck and cheek. His breath was foul-smelling and unsettling warm.

He whispered into me. “You know what you’re doing, don’t play this innocent act with me. It’s just making me want you more.”

I felt him use his one hand to trace down my body and back up under my dress, grabbing onto my a*s cheek roughly. I felt his hand start to move to my core, tracing it through my underwear.

I was squirming, but I wasn’t strong enough to fight him off. I couldn’t find my voice to scream, I was struggling to find the will to fight. He was right. I was damaged.

I thought about my brother and my mother fighting till the very end, and I wasn’t going to go out like this. I couldn’t disappoint them or be weak and give up like my dad.

The anger returned to me, and I felt on fire. I started to think of his body exploding to pieces. It’s what a vile man like this deserves.

I swear I heard a voice in my head saying, “we got it from here.” I must be going crazy.

He looked down at my eyes and jumped back, letting go of my hands that he still had pinned over my head with his one hand.

I felt relief off my wrists that I know we’re going to be bruised by tomorrow.

When I looked down to look them over, I saw a glow coming out my hands and rage that I couldn’t control from what he just tried to do to me.

I felt violated, dirty, and in desperate need of a shower. Those feelings consumed me and the hatred I felt for this man.

Before I could have the chance to run, he started to scream. I saw Steam coming out of his body like you would see when you were cooking pasta, and I stood there shocked, not being about to react to what I was seeing in front of me.

I stood there scared and stuck when b***d started pouring out of his eyes, mouth, nose, and ears, and seconds later, he was scattered into pieces of nothing.

I panicked, wiping the b***d off my face, and I ran, and I kept running further and further into the woods. I ran till i reached a cliff and saw water below.

I walked down the side till I got to the bottom when I reached a huge waterfall. There were wild flowers everywhere, and the mountains in the back were something you would see on a postcard.

I felt myself settle. I was in shock from the events of tonight but also confused how the hell this was possible. How was i capable of doing something so awful? But most of all, I was relieved to know that Dennis was gone and never coming back again

I looked down at my clothes covered in b***d and chunks og flesh and decided to go for a swim.

I tipped my toes in expecting it to be cold, but instead, the water was warmer than bath water.

It was crystal clear and had a blue tint, which I found really odd.

I dived under trying to get cleaned up as much as i could. I sat in the water longer than what was probably necessary, but it was soothing and helped clear my head.

I knew I needed to leave here. I had nothing left. I would never be accepted after everything my family has done, and after tonight, i feared for my life. For the first time, I felt completely alone. Like I no longer belonged here.

It was then that I decided I would pack tonight and find somewhere else to go.

I went to get out when three ghosts like figures stood in front of me. One reminded me of a younger version of my mother.

I jumped back, scared that I was going to be attacked again.

Their voices were stern. “We won’t hurt you, child. we’re your ancestors, your family. We mean you no harm.”

I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. “What are you doing here? Are you here to shame me for what I just did?”

“No, we’re going to explain the power that you were just gifted.”

I shook my head. “You mean to tell me that you think that was a gift? Me basically exploding a man was a gift?”

“Yes, Maureen, you’re also able to teleport. You know many witches aren’t granted with a power like that, either. We’ve come to explain. If your soul feels a real threat, that could change the outcome of what Hecate goddess and selene the moon goddess have in store for our futures for the witches and wolves. Then, we will summon some of our power to you to protect yourself and others who need it. If Hecate feels like the future will not change, then our powers won’t be summed to you. We want to warn you, you won’t be able to save everyone, and you don’t get to choose when you can use the gift.”

I was even more confused, if possible. “Why me?”

“Only witches who have a pure soul and can handle the gift will be blessed with it. I should warn you others do have this gift as well. Mostly to witches that can teleport. It’s must never be talked about. You all have a purpose, and being exposed to the power can change the future.”

“What is my purpose?”

“We can’t say, but you are in danger, Maureen. You won’t be able to run from the truth that you will soon learn.”

Before I could ask what they meant, they were gone. Leaving me stunned and confused. I wondered what truth they were talking about

I thought about them saying I could teleport. I decided to try it out. I closed my eyes and pictured my room at the coven, and when I opened them, I was by my bed. “Holy shit.” It was the most freeing feeling.

End of flashback

Landyn took my hand with his and locked our fingers together. My hair was still wet from the waterfall.

I felt sick, so sick. I think he could feel my anxiety and pulled me even closer by my hand. Just knowing there was another witch out there was messing with my head on top of being fled with awful memories. I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

He led me upstairs so we could shower and change for dinner. When we got to our door, Louise and Conner were already standing outside in the hallway.

Louise pulled me into a tight hug. “You okay?”

I nodded. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. I just need a warm shower, and I’ll feel like new.”

Louise seemed unsure about what I was saying was true. “Well, if you need to talk, I’m here.”

I grabbed her hand. “I know you are.”

We went our separate ways. As soon as i got to the room, I went straight to the shower. Killing the rogues brought so many memories up of Dennis. I started to scrub my body roughly. I could get myself to feel clean. I started sobbing uncontrollably.

I leaned my head against the cool shower wall and just let the tears fall. I was holding so much in, and now that I finally let the tears fall, i couldn’t stop.

I heard the shower door open, not caring that Landyn was seeing me naked again. He turned me around and pulled me into his chest, letting me cry till I couldn’t anymore.

When I was finally able to open my eyes, I saw that Landyn was still in his clothes. I couldn’t help but smile. The clothes were clenching to his body, and he looked ridiculous, but I loved that he was there for me.

I looked up to his big grey eyes. “I’m so sorry for that.”

He rubbed circles on my bare back that gave me a level of soothing that no one had ever given me before. I felt safe and protected for the first time since my family passed away. I knew this man would never hurt me.”You have nothing to be sorry about. You were hurting, I wasn’t going to let you hurt alone.”

My heart melted. I’ve never had anyone be here for me like this. To actually care that I was hurting. To walk into a shower fully clothed just to bring me comfort.

I felt the tears start to form in my eyes. He pulled my chin up, so I had to look at him. He took his thumbs and wiped my tears. “Maureen, I got you. You’re not alone anymore.” It was weird that he knew what I was feeling.

I’m not sure what came over me, but I grabbed him by the neck and pulled him towards me. I didn’t waste any time, and I kissed him. I kissed him with so much passion like he did to me the first time.

I bit his l*p, wanting access to his mouth. He gave it to me willingly. The taste of his tongue was heating up my body, making my arousal known. He growled as soon as he smelt me and picked me up off the ground by my a*s so my legs wrapped around him. He backed me to the cool shower wall so he could free his hand to feel my body.

I pulled on his shirt that was stuck to him from being soaked, and he just tore it off with one hand, making me more aroused than I already was. This heat he was causing me was unreal. I’ve never wanted, no craved someone like this so badly in my life.

I roamed my hand up his muscular arms and down his perfectly chiseled chest. I pulled him back for a k**s. He didn’t k**s me on lips long when he moved his k****s to my neck, which made me m**n loudly. He sucked my earlobe into his mouth and went back to kissing my neck. My eyes were rolling back, and my nails were digging into his neck.

I felt his hard member against my my bare core. My body reacted instantly, and I started to rock my h**s against him. I felt his hands grip my h**s roughly, pulling me closer as he grunted.

I started to pull at his shorts when he stopped me. He pulled my hands to his chest and pecked my lips.

I looked at him, confused as to why he stopped us from continuing. “I kept feeling someone trying to link me on repeat, I finally opened it so I could tell Conner to stop. I knew it had to be him. That’s when Conner told me Marvin is looking for both of us. I guess he’s knocked on the door already. Conner said it seems urgent.”

I slid down his body and rinsed off one more time before I stepped out. He followed behind me a minute later in a towel. He must have gotten rid of the shorts in the shower.

I sat on the bed holding my clothes pouting slightly. He sat next to me and put his hand on my knee. “Maybe this is a good thing. Things were getting pretty heated quickly. You were just crying before. Maybe you just need to get a little clearer headed. I would never want you to feel like I took advantage of you when you’re vulnerable. “

I laid my head on his shoulder. “I know. You’re probably right. But wow, that was something. “

I wasn’t even looking at him, and I could feel his grin. “Well, come on, let’s get dressed and go see what Marvin wants.”

We got dressed, and Maureen led us to Marvin’s office on the bottom floor.

We knocked, and he instantly opened the door and closed it behind us quickly. He looked completely distraught. He pointed back and forth at us. “Do you two want to tell me what the hell you were doing in the woods earlier? What’s with all the bodies? Or what’s left of bodies? If that’s what we call them now.”

s**t. I knew there was a witch out there.
