Fated Truth (The True Witch Saga)

by Gwartney, Tasha

Devon and I both shared a look. It was the exact same thing that happened to Carly Stevens last year. Only this time it was personal. Sabrina was one dead cunt. I felt the rage building inside of me. The walls and ground below our feet started to shake again.

  “Everyone has been saying that there have been a series of earthquakes this morning. How odd,” Jessa’s mom said.

  I started taking deep breaths and reached for Jaxx’s hand. I snuggled into his side. Trying not to think of what was going to be left of Sabrina when I got through with the hag.

  I looked around the waiting room, and finally introduce Devon and Jessa’s mother, Martha, to my newly found family.

  “This is Jaxx, my boyfriend,” I introduced Jessa’s mom first since Devon already knew him. Then I pointed to Seb and Gavin.

  “And the guys sitting across the room are my twin brother, Gavin, who recently located me,” I began, and Devon looked shocked at the news, but stayed mute. It wasn’t the time for explanations and so I continued as Seb walked over to stand next to Jaxx and me, “This is Sebastian. Seb for short, he’s my cousin.” I looked at him with love. Seb nodded his head at Martha and Devon, shook their hands and then retook his seat across the room. I glanced over to Martha. “Do you know when there will be anymore news?”

  “No, sweetie. She will be in surgery for quite a while. When she is out the doctor will come here to give us the results.”

  I slumped into my seat and cuddled into Jaxx. I put my head in my hands and started to pray. I had never prayed in my life, not even growing up with a Pastor for a father. I still never believed in anything bigger than me watching over everyone, but now I prayed. I prayed for Jessa to make it through the surgery. I prayed to anyone out there that might be listening. I just wanted her to be okay, whole and healthy enough to help me dismember the cunt that did this to her. I must have nodded off because the next thing I knew Jaxx was shaking me awake. I was dozing leaning on his shoulder.

  When I blearily looked around I saw that Martha and her husband were talking to a surgeon. I sat up straight and Jaxx had to restrain me from running over and asking questions of my own. Martha turned to everyone in the room. “Please, we are all family, we all love Jessa. Please just tell us how she is. What is her condition?” she said.

  We all gathered around the doctor and looked at him expectantly. He ran his fingers through his hair nervously. That couldn’t be a good sign. He looked to Martha and began to speak. “Your daughter made it through surgery just fine, but we won’t know how serious the injuries to her spine are until the swelling goes down. Serious spinal cord injuries resulting from auto accidents can lead to significant nerve damage and potentially cause paralysis, muscle dystrophy, autonomic, involuntary nervous system, disturbances and/or loss of reflex function.”

  Martha slumped into her husband’s arms, looking as if she were about to faint. Tears were streaming down Jessa’s father, Tom’s face. I felt nothing. I was numb. I was still latched to Jaxx’s side. I think he feared that if I let my emotions get the best of me I would turn the hospital and everyone in it to rubble.

  “Will my baby be able to walk? Will she be normal again?” Martha begged the doctor for good news.

  “We just don’t have any answers at this point. We will know more by tomorrow when the swelling is down.”

  “When will we be able to see her?” I had an idea brewing in my head. I could heal her. I know that I can. My world had shattered when I found out Jessa was hurt, but I could fix this. It was my fault. I may not have started or caused it, but Sabrina was gunning for me. Jessa got hurt because of that.

  Jaxx looked at me with glowing ice eyes. I sometimes forgot that Norms couldn’t see the lights that we radiate. He knew what I was thinking.

  “You may go into her room one at a time for now, but you must not disturb her. She needs her rest,” the doctor said then quickly left the room as if the hounds of hell were nipping his ass.

  “Ponce,” Seb muttered from behind me. I couldn’t help but chuckle at that. Tom looked at me like I was demented for laughing at a time like that, but he and Devon didn’t know what we could do. I was going to fix her.

  We waited in the same chairs we had been sitting in all day. Playing another waiting game until it was my turn to see Jessa. Her parents had been in and out of her room for hours now, hoping in vain that she would wake. Finally Martha walked into the waiting room alone.

  “You can go in now, Devon. Tom has to get back on the road for work. After you are done, Ella can have a turn to see her, but you must be quick. I don’t want to be away from my baby for long.” She slumped into a seat across from me and passed out almost immediately. The day must have finally caught up with her.

  Devon reached for me and hugged me tight. “I’ll be quick. I know you want to see her as much as I do.” Then he quit the room at a trot. If he only knew what was going to happen when I was finally alone with Jessa, he wouldn’t have made me wait until he was done. It took about ten minutes for Devon to make it back to the waiting room. I sat up and pulled out of Jaxx’s arms. Seb and Gavin had already returned to Jaxx’s house for the night. There was nothing they could have done here.

  “Walk with me. I need you to stand outside the room so I’m not interrupted,” I whispered in his ear. He nodded and we once again walked down the hall hands entwined.

  When we made it to the door of Jessa’s room, I reached up and brushed my lips across his.

  “I love you more than life,” I said quietly.

  He pulled me to him tightly and deeply devoured my mouth. I drew strength from his embrace. He was my lifeline in this place. “I love you too, pretty eyes. Please be quick. I want to get you home as soon as possible.”

  I could tell from the glint in his eyes that he needed a reminder that we were both alive and well as much as I did. I entered Jessa’s room and found that she was not alone. Seb was standing next to her bed looking down at her intently. I was so startled to see anyone that I yelped.

  “Shh, little niece, I’m just getting a look at my bride,” Seb said as quietly as he could.

  When I looked at him blankly he continued.

  “You see, once in a Vampire’s long existence, we find our destined bride. I had no idea that you would be the one to lead me to her. I was stalking the hallways looking for the blood bank in this ghastly place and I caught her essence.”

  I moved over to the bed and grabbed his hand. I could see the look of adoration on his face, as well as the sadness in his eyes. “Seb I can heal her. You don’t have to worry. She’s going to be fine.”

  “There is no need to use your unique gifts here. I will heal her, as is my right, for she is mine.” With that cumfuggled, confusing statement he brought his wrist to his mouth.

  I saw his fangs slide down out of his gums and he bit into his flesh. Blood began to flow and he quickly pressed the bleeding flesh to Jessa’s mouth. She fought the liquid flowing into her mouth at first, but then she moaned and latched on, suckling.

  I felt like I was witnessing something very much private, so I turned around with a blush staining my cheeks. I might not have been able to see, but I could still hear her moan as she sucked at his open wound.

  Finally Seb said, “It is done.” He reached for my hand and I turned around. “When she wakes she will be completely healed. She will also be different from who she was before.”

  “Have you turned her then?” I asked, secretly hoping he had. Jessa was a norm. Eventually I would have had to leave her behind.

  “Yes, her injuries were more severe than the doctors in this butcher’s shop were letting on. The only way to heal her was to turn her. When she wakes she will be confused. She will crave my presence because I am her maker, but I am also her destined, so she will find me soon after she has awoken.” Seb leaned down and kissed Jessa gently on the mouth. “Sleep well, my love. For when you awake the real fun begins.” He looked over at me with a feral light in his eyes that matched the one in my own. “The norm will
be no more after this night. I know you want revenge for this, but by right, it is mine.”

  I nodded my head in understanding but I was actually confused. Damn unanswered questions. I didn’t know how I felt about Sabrina dying, and then I looked at Jessa so still and small in the hospital bed and I knew the bitch had to die.

  “I want details Seb. If I can’t do it myself, then I deserve to know that she suffered for this.”

  “You have changed haven’t you little niece? I like this side of you. Never let anyone fuck with you. That is lesson number one.” With a quick kiss on my cheek, he slipped silently out of the fourth floor window.

  I just shook my head, telling myself to just take it in stride. I jumped slightly when I felt Jaxx wrap his arms around me from behind.

  “Everything that can be done here is done. Let’s go home, pretty eyes. I have a need to be close to you.”

  Even with my best friend lying hurt in the same room, he could still bring me to life. I turned to look at him. “Seb was here.”

  “I know. I heard everything, but we must go now. Jessa will be fine now, but she needs her rest. And I need to be inside of you.” He grinned wickedly at me.

  I smiled back. The first real smile I’d shared since I’d heard about Jessa’s accident. Everything was going to be put to rights. I wasn’t going to eventually lose the sister of my heart. Sabrina was going to get hers, and I was going home with the only man in the world that could make me smile after the terrible day I’d had. “I love you,” I whispered to him as we walked out of the room.

  He squeezes me to his side. “Ditto,” he murmured with a smirk. I laughed and slapped his chest. “I love you too, little raven.” He brushed his lips to mine.

  With that we walked out of the hospital hand in hand, got into Seb’s Lexus and drove quietly home. Each of us lost in our own thoughts.

  Chapter Twelve

  Bliss

  When we pulled into the drive of Jaxx’s home we were in a strange mix of elation and exhaustion. Jaxx opened my door for me and helped me out of the car.

  “Let’s get you inside and into a bath. You need to relax a little,” he acknowledged and then grinned. “Besides, I have plans for you.”

  I chuckled, wondering just what those plans might be. We entered the house and I called out for Gavin. I hadn’t even noticed if his bike was parked out front or not. He didn’t answer, so I figured he must still be out. Thinking about his bike made me wonder about mine. “Have you heard anything from the body shop about my bike?” I asked Jaxx as I trailed behind him up the stairs. I couldn’t help but to ogle his ass. It was damn fine, after all. He looked back at me and smirked. Damn I was caught, I thought with a blush.

  “They haven’t called yet, but I will make the call in the AM,” he said, checking his watch. “Which is just in a couple of hours, damn, it has gotten late.”

  I yawned, reminded of the time. “Okay, I know it’s a private matter, but I have to ask. What will happen with Jessa when she wakes up? I mean, Seb turned her. He hasn’t claimed her yet. So she is going to freak the fuck out! And what happens when she can’t stay with her parents anymore?” I was slightly overwhelmed with worry.

  “Slow down. I’m sure Seb will answer your questions in the morning.”

  We walked into the main bath on the second floor. It had a huge sunken tub. You could fit a football team in that bitch. Thinking of taking a bath in that tub with Jaxx caused tingles to shoot up and down my entire body. Clenching my sex and giving a little shudder, I thought of how Jaxx made me feel. Talk about life changing experiences! I had never felt anything as good as what it felt like to have him inside of me, closer to me than anyone had ever been before. No matter what happened in the future, I would never give him up now. It would take a natural disaster to get me away from him, and even then I would search the destruction left behind until there was nothing there left to look for.

  “Why don’t you get something to wear after your bath while I get it ready for you?”

  I nodded slowly and smiled at him. I left the bathroom and headed for our room to grab his robe. I ran it over my face taking in his scent. MMMM! Fresh fallen snow, I thought, my most favorite scent in the world. He had become everything to me. Most people would think it was crazy that we had become so close in such a short amount of time, but most people aren’t Trues. And they definitely weren’t us.

  I stripped out of my two day old clothes and slipped on his robe, then headed back to the main bath. Stepping through the door, I let out a little giggle of wonder. He’d lit a few pillar candles and the enormous tub was almost overflowing with bubbles.

  Closing the door behind me, he slid the robe down and off my shoulders. It made a whisper of sound as it hit the floor. He walked with me to the tub, climbing in first he settled against the back, and then held out his hand for me. I stepped into the delicious water with a groan of appreciation as he gently pulled me down so I could lay with my back against his chest.

  The bubbles smelled like him. I realized that he’d used his body wash to make me a bubble bath. Reaching an arm behind me, I wrapped my hand in his hair and yanked his lips to mine, kissing him deeply. “I wish this was how we could end every day for the rest of our lives,” I sighed completely relaxed.

  He began massaging my shoulders then worked his way down my arms. He moved hands around my chest to massage my breasts and to pinch my nipples. He licked my neck working his way up to my ear and I moaned in appreciation. Just those few movements with his hands set me off. Hell, he could stand next to me and I would be ready to jump him. My heart rate was accelerating. He kissed his way back down my neck and bit my pulse point. Hard.

  I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. “I want you,” I murmured, simply looking into his eyes just the way he demanded me to. My breasts were rubbing against his chest with delicious friction and I felt his member stiffen against my stomach. I leaned down to bite and nibble on his nipples like he’d taught me, like he’d done to mine.

  He growled as my teeth came in contact with his sensitive flesh. “Not just yet, little raven.” He pushed me off of him toward the front of tub. With a grin, he reached over the side of the tub for his robe. He pulled the fabric belt out of the loops. “Get on your knees and face the front of the tub. Put your hands behind your back and look at your reflection in the mirror above the vanity.”

  I did as I was told, gladly and with a smile on my face. My pussy was getting wet with him directing my actions. Across the room from the tub sat the vanity with a huge gilded mirror above it. In that position I could see him clearly moving behind me with the cloth belt.

  He gripped my wrists with one hand and started to wrap the cloth around them with the other. The loops were tight, but not enough to cut off circulation. He tested the ties by fitting his fingers underneath the cloth. “I want you to watch me while I take you. Don’t take your eyes off of the mirror. Do you understand?”

  I was preoccupied with testing my restraints, so I didn’t answer him fast enough.

  He smacked my ass with a sharp tap on my right globe. The water made the sting of his touch that much sweeter. I jumped and wiggled back toward him wanting more. He tapped the left cheek of my ass this time a little harder than before and I moaned.

  “Yes, I understand. I want you inside me. Please,” I breathed.

  Jaxx reached down and around between my legs, cupping my sex. “Do you want me here, Ella? Do you want me to fill this tight heat with my cock? Slamming into you until you scream yourself hoarse?”

  I was nodding my head and pushing my hips back into his groin as he was demanding answers from me. He slapped my ass again. Not stopping after the first strike like usual. He alternated from left to right, never hitting the same spot more than once. He rubbed the stinging away before he picked the next part of my ass to strike. I was sobbing with need. My clenching cunt was dripping down onto my thighs by that point. “I want you deep inside me, please. I’m begging you! It hurts, J
axx. I need you,” I begged, looking into his icy eyes through the mirrored reflection as I pleaded for him to take me.

  Before the last words left my lips, he gripped my hips and yanked me back, fully onto his massive shaft. I was pushing back while screaming in pure pleasure. Yanking at my bonds because I wanted to reach back and touch him. He braced me with his grip so that I didn’t slam forward into the front of the tub. The water was sloshing over the sides with each punishing thrust of his hips.

  “This is going to be quick. I can already feel you tightening on me. And I have waited for you. Wanted you all day,” he said roughly.

  The slamming, punishing thrusts were enough to finish me. I came around his cock milking him for all I was worth. One orgasm turned into another then another, as he continued to grind and thrust into me with all of his strength. I loved when he lost himself in me like that. This controlled man, so unrestrained with me.

  “Jaxx! Jaxx! Jaxx!” I screamed his name in a chanting cadence while staring into his eyes through the mirror.

  He slammed into me once more as his grip tightened on my hips. He was wearing a twisted snarl on his beautiful mouth. “Ella!” he growled in my ear as he emptied himself inside of me.

  He slipped out of me and I whimpered at the vacant feeling inside me. He reached for my hands and untied my wrists, throwing the belt over the side of the tub into one of the many puddles. He lifted and turned me toward him, cuddling me to his chest.

  I was still out of breath. And, as he predicted my throat was hella hoarse. We sat in the cooling water until I started to get goose bumps running along my skin.

  “Let’s take a shower and warm you up, pretty eyes.” Jaxx lifted me out of the tub and stood me in front of the vanity while he adjusted the temperature in the shower.

  I turned to look at the red cheeks of my ass. I smiled as I appreciated the view of his marks on me. I now knew what he meant earlier that morning. It was hot as hell to wear his mark. I noticed Jaxx staring at me with concern on his face.
