Power in Death: Book 1 of The Destiny in Death Series

Study Sesh

My eyes opened wide after the dream fled from my head. The dream felt personal but so distant to me at the same time. I shoved it back into the recess of my mind, not willing to believe it was real. It was just a dream, right? A really fucking weird, morbid dream. I head soft snores and look around my bedroom. My eyes flash towards Cole, he's changed back to his human form, still curling around my feet at the bottom of the bed in his impossibly large state. He's naked, holy mother of fuck he's hot. Abbs for days is all I can think like a repeated mantra in my head. After I stop ogling his bits and bobs – That was the politer way to say it than straight out say cock, oh shit I said it anyway. Oopsies. I look at his peaceful face, the brown wild hair flicks into his long brown eyelashes as he sleeps deeply.

I momentarily get lost in the view until I decide to survey the others. The twins are sat in the beanbags but their body's slump together, heads precarious leaning on the other in a trepid balance whilst they sleep. My eyes flick to the windowsill seeing Ward stare back at me with his swirling silver eyes, his eyes are hooded in something that looks like lust but they instantly change back to his original soulless eyes. I turn my head to my right noticing the hand splayed on top my stomach above the blanket. Sebastians white hair stokes the maroon silk blanket and I stare at his sleeping form, of course he ruins it though, "like what you see love?" He says whilst popping an amber eye open. Ugh what an arrogant prick but unfortunately, I cannot disagree so I just nod very seriously which makes him smirk. Note to self, do not boost his ego, he has enough of it.

I lift myself from the covers noticing it's 5pm Sunday afternoon and I shudder looking at the discarded books I soon need to finish reading. I step into the bathroom but I do not turn on the lights, I know my reflection will bring back my fear and shock of what has changed in me. I turn on the shower and drown myself in the luxurious feeling of the warm droplets hitting my tense flesh. A sigh and even though no breath comes' out a trembling motion slips from my lips. My shoulders hunch and I stare at the drain of the shower. I need to be strong I whisper over and over again, for myself and my family I need to get out of here. I set my shoulder straight and dry myself in a grey towel. I finally put on the clothes I must have dropped during my blackout. The black sweats, white tee, black sports bra, cotton pants and then I ring my hair out and let it drop instantly wetting my white tee form the back. I at least feel fresher.

I open the door and step out; everyone has awakened since I took my time showering. The twins have turned on the TV and surprise, surprise they are wrestling with the tv remote which curls my lip at the memory in the plane. Sebastians stands and towers over me. "Come, lets learns," he says seductively with menace dripping out of his smile. He touches my elbow to guide me back to the bed and Cole instantly growls as soon as Sebastain makes contact with my elbow. "Shush your mush you oversized mutt," He says with very pleasant smile. Wow this guy is fuckkkkkeeeddd up. Cole only further growls, why is he growling? As if Sebastian can read my mind he whispers, "don't worry love, he'll get over it. He is just grumpy because I'm touching his precious mate." he pouts at me.

I remember the book I read about werewolf's and their mates. No fucking way, well call me a rainbow and summon my wings. That's bloody shocking, terrifying and rather sexy might I add. I don't think even Sabastian could compel me to close my gaping mouth from the shock. Speaking of compulsion, "you fucking compelled me you absolute cock end!" I screech. He just smiles even nicely at me and kisses my cheek before I can react. He spins away out of my reach and sits on the bed, "Well I can't have my tasty snack being tired, now can I?" He innocently says. I swear I'm seething at the core as I stomp up to him, grab him by the colar and toss him out of my door, locking it behind him. I humph and sit down.
