Bending Fate
An extraordinary werewolf with unique magical abilities, including foresight, must learn to follow her heart while fighting a cruel fate. Jodie Mickelson, a maid in the whispering moon pack, is a unique hybrid born from an affair between a powerful witch and an alpha king. When she discovers that the pack's alpha is her fated mate, she hopes for a change in her luck. However, the alpha rejects and banishes her due to his disinterest in their bond. Fate sets Jodie on a path of destiny. Ares, known as the 'Bastard Prince,' is a formidable force of nature in the werewolf world and beyond. Betrayed by those close to him and haunted by rumors of his supposed depravity, he seeks to reclaim his thrones. Their paths will cross, sparks and insults will fly, and love will blossom. However, a terrible vision foretelling Ares' inevitable death at her hands stands between Jodie and her second chance at a happy ever after. Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to the cover image.
35: The awakening
"Your emotions fuel your magic," Viola said, breaking a silence that had lasted for fifteen minutes since the magical surge.
Jodie looked over to where she was bent over, sweeping the remnant of the salt circle. The candles had been discarded and normalcy restored in the room. For Jodie, however, it marked the beginning of something different. She could feel inanimate objects beckoning to her as her gaze roamed over them. The room felt alive, the elements felt alive, and occasionally, her body felt like it wasn't her own. It felt like she'd been possessed by a powerful spirit that desired full control of her mind, spirit, soul, and body.
Sweat broke out on her forehead.
"I—I don't feel so good," she croaked. "My head hurts."
Viola dropped the broom and strolled over to where Jodie sat on the floor beside the exit door. She examined her briefly before joining her on the floor, legs crossed. "The magical half of you is awakening, Jodie."
