Witch Betrayed

Chapter One

Jasmine

Death is inevitable.

Constantly chasing us throughout our lives, till we find ourselves at the end of our book. In those tragic cases, some have their ending cut short. So many pages left blank, a story that will never be finished. From moment I entered this world, I've been dancing with death. One wrong step and I seal my fate, succumbing to the destiny many desire for me.
However, I refuse to submit. They will never have the satisfaction of seeing me fall, for the face they see when their ending is cut short, will be mine. 

Memories of my past haunt me, my family slaughtered in the middle of the night in an effort to save me. Images of my father holding on tightly to my mother as they lay in a pool of their own blood, forever burned into my mind. My heart aches to go back and change time, to stop the events of that night. To be more powerful so we would have stood a chance against our enemies.  The people most precious to me gave their lives to save me, now I will do everything in my power to get my revenge.

"Babe? Did you hear me? You zoned out for a minute there" Gavin says pulling me out of my inner monologue.

"Huh? Sorry, I was just thinking about my parents"

"Oh, I'm sorry Jas. I know that's painful for you. Do you want to talk about it" he asks

"I'm just feeling doubtful that we will find anyone from my coven. It's been months since we left Dark Moon Pack and came to Canada. I've yet to see any signs of something that could lead us in the right direction and I'm worried that we will run out of time before that group of hunters find us"

"First of all, you are a badass witch who controls the literal wind. Goddess help the fools who even try to come after us. Secondly, you know I'd give my life to save you. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'll do anything for you" he tells me, making me get emotional again.

"You know I feel the same way about you Gavin. Finding you has been the greatest blessing in my life. You gave me a purpose again, showing me that life isn't always just dark and horrible. I love you so much and I will do everything I can to make sure those people pay for everything they've done to me and my family. You are all I have left now, I couldn't handle the thought of losing you too" I say, trying to hold back the tears.

He takes me into his arms and I just let the emotions pour out of me. It's been so long since I've cried like this, I honestly don't even remember the last time I cried. Allowing that negative energy to flow out of my body makes me feel cleansed. I hate holding everything inside, it all gets so heavy and suffocating.

I relive that horrible night, constantly, it invades my dreams, never giving me peace. When I met Gavin , in Dark Moon pack, I felt a tiny piece of myself coming back to life. For the first time, I could sense my wolf. A tiny shimmer of her living deep inside of me. Everything I've tried to do, to bring her to the surface, has been in vein. I don't know if finding my old coven members will even help me, but I'm willing to try anything. Having her come forward will make me stronger, so I can finally avenge my family and friends, who I lost all those years ago.

Every day I spend searching for them, and failing to find them, makes me feel like I'm taking 10 steps in the wrong direction. My childhood was spent learning everything I possibly could about being a witch, my mother was the greatest teacher I could ever have. I never showed any signs of having a wolf, so we spent years developing my witch power. She taught me how to excel in my ability to channel the wind, even how to heal small wounds on others. She was always so kind and patient with me, reminding me to pull our energy out of love for the earth and all she provides for us. Since I lost her, it's been hard for me to even imagine those philosophies anymore. How can I still love, when my heart aches so deeply. Gavin is slowly bringing back pieces of my heart that I thought were gone forever. With him by my side, I know I will finally find the strength I need to put an end to those hunters.
