Storm's POVI woke up in a dark room, I was hooked to an IV that was pumping blood into my body, hold on, blood, why was I being given blood? My accident scene flashed in my head, I remembered losing blood rapidly. I looked down at my arm, it had been wrapped up, my legs were in a cast, and I couldn't barely move my body.The pain was excruciating and I couldn't stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks. "Oh honey, don't cry, it's not healthy." A cold voice said. I stilled and searched around for the room."Who's that? Who's there?" No one came out of the shadows." Show yourself, I'm not scared of you." Lies, I was scared shitless but I wasn't going to let them see it.A figure slithered out of the dark, he snapped his fingers and the light came on, A tall white man stood next to me. His eyes were blood red and he had fangs protruding out of his mouth. His raven black hair was combed backwards and he was very handsome. He had all the traits of a vampire and I shifted back a little,
Noah's POVAdrian Silva, I've never hated anyone the way I hated that man. After killing my father, he was back for my mate, I won't let him win this time. I turned and headed back into my car, Caleb hurried after me. He entered the car and sat quietly, waiting for me to talk."Caleb, call Jasper, tell him to stop his search and return immediately, I know where Storm is." I put the car in drive and rushed back to the pack, I stopped the pack office and headed straight for my office. Michael saw us as we entered the building, he was waiting outside my office door when we arrived. He opened his mouth to speak but I shot a glare at him and he stepped aside. I stormed into the office and grabbed the first thing I saw, which was a vase, and smashed it into the wall. I growled, "I'm going to fucking kill Adrian, the moment I get my hands on him, he's a dead vampire." I picked up a book and threw it at the wall, I threw anything I could find at the wall until a wave of calmness came over
Noah's POVMy heart was racing so fast and my eyes saw red. I quickly mindlink Dania and Tasha.*Where the fuck are the both of you?* I snapped at them.*Alpha!* Dania replied immediately.*Noah, what's wrong?* Tasha asked.*You guys have to go to Storm right now. She's in trouble.**What! I've been looking everywhere for her, she told me she was going to the restroom and hadn't been back since then.* Dania said worriedly. I crushed the plastic cup in my hands.*And you didn't think to call me. Dania, she's at the alley at the back of the club, she's with a vampire and she's scared.*Tasha gasped. * Oh no, Dania, we have to go find her now.**Yes, I'm already at the back door, come find me.* Dania said.*Dania, make sure not even a strand of hair on her head is removed. I'll be there soon, keep that vampire alive for me.**Yes, Alpha.*I cut off the mindlink and grabbed my keys, phone, and hurried out of the house into my car. I already knew the club they were at. I sent a quick mindl
Storm's POVThe chapter contains explicit violence and abuse"Welcome back, I was just setting up, how do you like your new room? Beautiful, isn't it?" He motioned around the room. I crashed to the ground and wailed, I couldn't keep holding it, I saw my future in the knife on the table and it was bleak."Come on now, don't be a baby. GET UP." Adrian's voice switched from a jokester's to that of a devil's. The woman tried to get me up but I shook her off. "Leave us! You two, pick her up and place her on the chair." The woman scampered out of the room and two well-built vampire males grabbed me, I thrashed against them but it was of no use. They dropped me on the chair.My hands were placed on the table and handcuffed, my legs were handcuffed to the chair and the chair was bolted to the ground. I couldn't understand how he did all these things so fast. The men stood behind me, I knew they were in case I tried to do anything stupid. I stopped crying because it was useless."Now, if you
Noah's POV"I'm going to kill him, that's a promise, I'm going to enjoy tearing his flesh from his bones. Oh, he's a dead man this time. I'll send him to hell, bring him back to life and send him back to hell." I paced round the office in anger, I had been unable to watch the video after the first scene. I called Adrian but he didn't pick the call."Your majesty, please calm down. Your majesty, please." A frustrated male voice said from the other side of the door, he sounded exhausted. " Leave me alone, let me enter that office." A hysterical female voice came through the door. Oh hell no, Queen Claire, how did she find out about Storm? I shared a worried look with Michael, I nodded and he opened the door."Your majesty, please come…" Queen Claire breezed through the door and headed straight at me, her subordinates struggled to catch up with her."Where is she? Have you found her? Why are you still here?" She yelled in my face. Her red hair was unkempt, she was dressed in casual clo
Noah's POV"Alpha, a package came in for you." An enforcer came into my office with a medium-sized box in his hand. Luisa was in her usual corner, still trying to find where Adrian had hidden Storm. It seemed like he had gone underground. Useless bastard.Queen Claire was seated with Luisa, they talked as Luisa worked, the queen had refused to go back to the palace with the king, he had waited, pleading for her forgiveness, but she ignored him and he had to go back to the palace."Who is from?" I asked. He frowned, "There isn't any name or address but it was dropped off at the border. I found it during my morning round, it had your name boldly scrawled on it.My heart sank, I had a feeling it was from Adrian, and I wondered what he had sent for me. I hesitantly collected the box and told the enforcer to leave. I wanted until he was gone before opening.The box was filled with hair, specifically red hair, Storm's red hair. I dropped the box on the table, unsure of what to do."What is
Storm's POV"WHAT?" She shouted and I winced."I can't go with you because I have unfinished business here," I replied, she looked at me like I had gone crazy, which I had, I was crazy with anger."Why do you have to stay, explain it to me."" In a nutshell, I'm going to kill Adrian, after the hell he put me through, he dies by my hand and my hand only. I won't let another person kill him." I explained, Luisa paced the room and rubbed her temples."It will be safer if you go with me. I understand your need for revenge but won't it be better to be alive and well than to die because of your revenge." She said, Luisa looked like she was at her wit's end."I'll be fine, I can't let Adrian get away with what he did to me, I just can't." I was committed to my cause and there was no way she would be able to change my mind. She looked at me for a few minutes, contemplating, I could hear the havoc going on outside and I was sure that Noah and our pack were already fighting Adrian's clan. "F
Storm's POVThere was no time to think about the mystery behind my shift, Adrian was slowly killing Noah, he took his time and leisurely pulled out his spine. I rushed at Adrian before I realized what had happened, the strength I felt was nothing like how I felt when Luisa placed a spell on me.I didn't plan any form of attack on Adrian, I had enough rage and anger in me, and I let my lycan take over, she had been locked down for years and she had a lot of fury in her. I was faster in Lycan form, I arrived behind Adrian in a split second.I grabbed him, pulled him off Noah, and threw him at the wall, he hit his back and head with a loud bang then landed on the ground with a thud, I rushed at him, without giving him a minute to recover I jumped on him and let my claws run wild on him."You fucking bastard. You think you can kidnap me, severely torture me and get away with it, I'm going to send you to hell, the devil is going to be surprised at how you arrive, then I'm going to bring yo
Ten years laterStorm's POV"Let go, it's mine." "No, it's mine." Identical sets of screams came from up the stairs, and soon the screams escalated to stomps and thuds, I took a sip from my glass of wine, waiting for someone to cry first before I climbed up the stairs to deal with them."Mom, aren't you going to do something about that?" I turned to see Fiona, she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at me, she was now a cranky fifteen years old and thought she was better than everyone. Fiona had grown beautifully in the last ten years, she was tall for her age, almost 5'8, her glossy red hair was pulled back in a tight bun, her lips were full and she had the eyes of a seductress. Fiona started calling me Mom when she was six and I remember how hard I cried the first time she said it."I'm waiting for them to draw blood." I glanced at Fiona over and couldn't hold the laughter that shot out of me.Fiona was dressed in a black crop top and short shorts with spiky black boots. Th
Noah's POVThe room had an eerie feel to it, the quickness and the stench of antiseptics made it worse. I walked over to Storm and held her hand. "David, is she fine? Is she hurt anywhere? Does she need surgery? Why is she still unconscious? " I rambled the questions out but my eyes were focused on Storm."She's fine, the impact of the choking caught off the air in her brain for a minute but she's a fighter and so is the baby. She'll be back home in a day or two." He said, my brain had only heard the word baby, what the hell was going on?"Baby, what baby? Who has a baby?" Was he talking about Fiona?David's eyes widened and he cleared his throat."Oh, erm, so I'm guessing you don't know. " He loosened his tie. " Storm is seven weeks pregnant, I don't know why she hasn't told you, she's known since she was three weeks pregnant." My chest ached and my eyes burned, Storm was pregnant and I was going to be a father. How come I didn't know, how could she not tell me?"Noah, are you okay?
Storm's POVThe doorbell rang, and Fiona and I made eye contact over the table, she shrugged and continued eating her pancakes. I headed to the door and opened it. Bianca stood at the other side looking like she had been in a catfight and lost."Hello Storm," Her voice came out raspy and I almost felt like offering her some water."Bianca, it's been a while." I crossed my arms around my chest and took a defensive stance. I was ready to fight her in case she decided to act mad."Can I come in?" She asked, her eyes downcast. She looked tired and worn out." It depends, are you here to cause trouble for me because if you are, I'm sorry but you can't." She shook her head, " I'm not. I came here to apologize." My eyes widened and I stepped back and she entered. I closed the door behind us. Bianca took a seat, I excused myself, and went to prep Fiona, she had finished her breakfast, I put the dishes in the sink and took her up to her room to play with her tab. I returned to the living ro
Storm's POVMom calmed down after a while and King Benedict interrogated my father about Maureen, our late pack doctor. In all my years of knowing that woman, I never expected she could do something like this."Did Maureen tell you who paid her to switch our babies?" He asked.Dad stroked his jaw, his arm around Mom, " I remember the name clearly, she called him Alessio. She said he was very powerful and rich." King Benedict laughed." Alessio, huh? Why am I not surprised? That bastard had been after me since we were born." I raised my eyebrows, confused." Who is he?" I asked."He was my twin brother. He was jealous that I had been born before him, making me the next in line for the throne, he always looked for a way to attack me but I didn't think he would scope so low to give me a dead child." Wow, what a hateful man." What are you going to do to him now that you know the truth?" Dad asked.King Benedict laughed again but this time bitterly. "I can't do anything to a dead man.
Storm's POVNoah explained everything to me about Fiona, I grabbed my phone that had brought me back to the room and left. Fiona rested her head on my lap and played a game on the tab that Noah had gotten her, I still couldn't believe everything that has happened today, I was still trying to figure out how to deal with my new identity then I find out that Fiona was my niece. Could this day get any more complicated?I ran my fingers through Fiona's red hair, I was glad that we were related, I looked at the little girl but now that the king and queen knew she was their granddaughter, I was sure there was no way they were going to let her go back with us. My Lycan growled at that thought, I had become overprotective of her and I didn't want to leave her.A knock came on the door, Fiona raised her head, "Come in," She screeched. The door opened and Noah came in, I turned away. Fiona rushed to embrace him and he raised her and twirled her around, she squealed with joy and he laughed as wel
Storm's POVI felt my heart pumping hard in my chest, it felt like I was running out of oxygen and struggling for breath. King Benedict and Noah had been quiet since Queen Claire started talking, I couldn't understand how they could sit there and listen to her spew this bullshit unless they believed it as well. A million and one thoughts ran through my head, it was impossible for me to be their child, I already had parents, parents who raised me and loved me. I've seen my birth pictures, I might not look a lot like my parents but their blood ran through my veins, and their DNA was encrypted into me."Your majesty, that's impossible, I have parents, I told you about them. My parents love me very much, I can't be your child. Let's say I am your daughter, why the hell will my parents steal your child, they are good people, the best. I will not have you spoiling their good image." I dropped my arms and made eye contact with her. Queen Claire shook her head, " Storm, don't take this the w
Noah's POVIf the ground could open up and swallow me, I would have been very happy, everyone froze at my actions. My eyes stilled on the semisolid contents of my belly on the ground. I didn't know what to do. This was one of the rare times when I was brain-dead. Queen Claire was the first to recover, her hand went to my cheek and she dropped a resounding slap there. " What in the Moon goddess' name is wrong with you?" She spat out. I hadn't been expecting the slap but I sure as hell deserved it."I'm sorry, it's just that I had too much to drink, your majesty, I'm really sorry, I deserve any punishment you want to give me." I bowed my head, Queen Claire growled but didn't say anything else. Jasper returned and showed her to the guest bathroom to clean up while I quickly went to make myself presentable." Now that you look like a coherent human being, I'll ask again, where is Storm?" Queen Claire asked, she was seated on the couch with her legs crossed. I sighed and braced myself f
Noah's POV David had told me to take it easy on my feet but I didn't listen, I rushed to Storm and covered her mouth with my fingers before she could complete her statement. I felt a small twinge in my lower back because of my quick movement.She thrashed against my hand and bit it. I drop the hand and stepped back."Why the hell did you do that?!" She yelled at me. I stared at her in surprise."Why did I do that? Why the hell were you trying to reject me? Have you gone insane?" " No, I'm doing what I should have done a long time ago, I should have rejected you the day we might. I can't believe that I let myself be dragged into your disastrous life. I had rejected you earlier on, I wouldn't have gone through all this pain and trauma." Anger rolled off her and she shot daggers at me. The door slammed, and I looked back to see that Jasper had exited the house. He must have known that the conversation Storm and I were about to have wasn't going to be an easy one.*Storm, you can't reje
Storm's POVQueen Claire's sudden departure confused me and I was also worried about her. Tasha and Dania talked to each other and pulled up my blanket and turned to Luisa, I wanted to know more about the mysterious witch that had saved me. How did Noah find her? "Luisa, how did you and Noah meet? Are you guys close friends?" I asked her, she jerked in shock, Tasha and Dania stopped talking and focused on us."Yeah, I have also wanted to know, Storm's kidnap just took over my mind. My brother isn't one to make friends easily so I'm intrigued." Luisa hesitated, she avoided making eye contact with me and looked at the wall. "Well, we meet about thirty years ago at a bar in the human world, I worked as a bartender then, I served him drinks and we got talking, he knew I was a witch and I knew who he was as well. Long story short, we hooked up, and we had a fling for about a month before his psychopathic ex-girlfriend came and started acting like a stalker. I didn't want any drama so I
