Freya’s P.O.V
Cindy and I had been traveling for what seemed like months. I knew it had not really been that long but Cindy was slow. I suppose it was due to age, come to think of it I didn’t really know how old she was.
“What?”
Cindy snapped at me, her face had fallen with her fatigue and her patience was extra thin.
“I was just wondering about your age…”
She snorted at me before stopping to put her hands on her hips.
“Are you calling me old?”
I laughed as she stuck out her tongue at me.
“Well, you never told me your age…”
She stopped smiling and thought for a moment before smirking.
“And I’m not telling you now. Come one we have somewhere to be.”
She began walking briskly, well as brisk as an old woman can as I giggled to myself. Under any other circumstances, this would have been bliss, just spending time with the
Sera’s P.O.VI sighed breathing heavily as I looked around my destroyed room, the hate and rage still itching to be realized. Paul’s pack had kidnapped Emma, my mother, and my father. All because the vampire Aamon needed my blood. I was yet again the cause of so much pain for my mother. It seemed I had been born for the sole purpose of torturing her. I stared at the broken glass that was once the French Glassdoor scattered on the floor, recoiling at the angry expression on my face. I didn’t even know who I was anymore. This whole time I had been here, being with Damon pretending everything was okay. Ignoring the fact I had not rescued Emma, that my parents had seemingly abandoned me. I wished I had been stronger, that I had protected Emma the way I should have. I failed her, I failed our mother and I was failing my father’s pack. Star had still not resurfaced, the pack members seemed to be kind but I couldn’t shake the sensation tha
Emma’s P.O.VI had been sneaking around Pauls's make sift campsite for hours trying to locate the keys to the other cells. I was surprised no one had smelt me or seen me, but in their defense, they all seemed to be very busy preparing for something. I assumed it had to do something with Michelle being here, I mean it didn’t take a genius to figure it out. I had to warn Sera but I needed to save my Uncle, Glen’s partner Peter first. I didn’t notice the wolf that was staring at me as I hid behind a flapping tent, my eyes connected with Aaron’s as my heart fluttered in fear. He stared at me for an uncomfortably long time before sighing and walking over to me.“I am not going to ask how you got out, but a word of advice? Run. Run fast.”His voice was a fast whisper as I felt a warmth fill me at his kindness. I looked at him sadly,“I can’t, I have to save Peter too.”Aaron breathed a sigh of d
Sera’s P.O.VI was surprised that I had been able to keep up with the pack in my human form, we were finally going to attack Paul. Finally, I would be able to rescue Emma and keep my promise to her and our mother.“Blood.”“Kill.”“Hunger.”The voices of those shadow serpents called out in my head again, seeming to awaken a fit of anger inside me I had long forgotten. Damon’s wolf Sam kept giving me uneasy glances as we ran, I knew he was worried. So much was happening with me that was questionable, and we still were unable to communicate telepathically. We should have been able to now I had marked him and yet, nothing. Herman had told me it might be due to Star not being able to communicate with me. I felt a wave of shame as I remembered fleeing him before. I wasn’t sure what had come over me, the sight of that needle… I just couldn’t let him drug me again. I knew he was trying to
Damon’s P.O.VFor the third time, I felt my heart began to shatter as I felt Sera’s soul start to fade away, already in such a short time I had almost lost her again. I growled staring at her unconscious form laying on my bed. She seemed almost peaceful right now, her chest breathing steadily. I sighed deeply placing my head in my hands thinking back to the state I had found her in, slumped over next to Luna Freya. Her heartbeat so slow, I had almost been too late. I had been overcome in my rage at Paul, tempted into torturing him for his last few moments alive as punishment for even daring to harm my love. I hadn’t even noticed that she had vanished from sight. Earl had thankfully arrived a day earlier thanks to my father’s request managing to stabilize her quickly. My heart hurt knowing how much I would have to explain to her when she awoke, her mother was dead. Her sister Emma had disappeared, and her father… Alpha Erik… he was loose i
Emma’s P.O.VI stood, staring blankly ahead a strange hollowness making it hard to concentrate on anything. Sera’s dried blood hung thick against my skin, I didn’t know what I hated more. The metallic taste or the fact that I liked it. A cold hand grasped my shoulder firmly as that sick voice whispered.“It’s time to go little princess”I felt my face contort to disgust as I attempted to shake off his hold, my eyes flickering between Sera’s slumped body and my mother's. He chuckled before pulling me away with him violently.“Now, now dear. It had to be done.”I refused to look at him, the man that was my grandfather didn’t exist. This thing that claimed to be him was sick, evil, and twisted. He chuckled as I clenched my fists thinking about how good it would feel to see his eyes drain of life as mothers had.“Now Emma, that’s no way to think about your elders. Besides, y
Damon’s P.O.VMy love looked so peaceful today, her face free of the normal worry lines. Her perfect lips sat slightly agape as her breathing was slow and steady. I sighed with content smiling down at her, my heart fluttering knowing she was mine. Earl had informed me it wouldn’t be much longer before she awoke from her coma, I was both excited and terrified to see her awake. I wondered how she had been so mortally wounded, why Aamon had let her live. How she would handle everything that had happened. I let out a frustrated breath as I intertwined my fingers in her silver curls, closing my eyes to enjoy how soft they felt on my skin. I smiled as I felt her face move closer to my fingers, happily stroking her skin. My heart flutter more as I heard her make noises of approval in her sleep, she truly was perfect. A knock sounded breaking the moment, I glanced surprised as Earl popped his head through the slightly ajar door.“Sorry Damon”He
Sera’s P.O.VI sat in the meadow that had at one point apparently been my mother’s garden, it laid in ruins. Overrun with weeds that had taken over the aged brick beds that had once fenced the more delicate flowers against the grass line. A cold wind had come over the land bringing in winter but for me felt almost like a sign from the Moon Goddess herself, as if she too was mourning with me. I had lost. Everything. My father had vanished, Emma, she was lost. Her vampiric face flashed before my eyes again, the venom and cold hunger they had held as she bit down on my flesh. I knew deep down it had not been her fault, I knew she did not have control. But, I would be lying if I didn’t admit the fear I held. Star still had not returned, my mind was hollow and depressing. Constantly replaying everything I had ever said to my mother that had hurt her, all my childish mistakes, and all of my toxic attitude. I couldn’t even remember the last time I had told he
Sera’s P.O.VTime had surprisingly passed so quickly, it had now been 3 months since I lost my family. Yet today, today I was gaining a new one. It had been so hard to let go of the idea I could still save Emma, Alpha Darren had been the one to console me with that grief. Emma was a vampire now, in Aamon’s control. There was nothing I could do for her. Carole had taught me so much about how a Luna is expected to act, and run a pack. I was pleasantly surprised to find that essentially my job is just to make sure everyone is safe, loved, and supported. For some reason, I thought I was going to be like a royal system. Danni had not only taken a great liking to me but was convinced one day I was going to be her stepmother. I couldn’t help but laugh at the idea, Damon and I had not even discussed having children of our own yet. Speaking of Damon, I felt a grin form on my face thinking back to how darn excited he was when I asked for us to hold the ceremony. He had
Emma’s P.O.V I had been patient. This past week I had been sneaking out to consume as much animal blood as I could. It was hard at first but I knew that this was better. At the same time, I had been slowly poisoning the blood stores Aamon and Luci used to feed, both were too nervous to leave the castle. Apparently, Aamon was planning some sort of ritual to evoke more power, some great weapon that would make him unstoppable. The shadow child has come back occasionally, I hadn’t quite figured out how to summon him but it seemed to be when I was calm or in danger. He had helped me greatly setting everything up for my revenge. And now it was time. My heart fluttered with nerves as I snuck through the dusty halls, my plan would have weakened them both but I knew I still would be no match to them in combat. I had to trick them. I walked down a spiral staircase coming to an old heavy door, taking a deep breath I readied myself. I had not been down to the dungeons in a long time
Emma’s P.O.VI sat my back against the cold stone bricks of this disgusting castle. It was calming in a sense, the coldness reminding me that I deserved nothing less. It was my fault for everything. If I had just been a bit stronger, a bit more like Sera then maybe she wouldn’t be dead. Mother wouldn’t be dead. I looked up at the ceiling and watched as a small spider strung its web as my heart longed to go back. Back to the house out in the woods, back to the small town, back to a time where life was good.“Emma?”I heard Luci call as she entered this room at was apparently mine.“You still haven’t eaten? My dear, you will grow weak. That would be a waste.”Her tone was soft, it had been since I had been brought back here. She almost seemed nice but I wasn’t going to fall for it again. She was just as evil as Aamon. A monster. They made me a monster. I felt her presence as she sighed heavi
Damon’s P.O.VI had not slept in three nights. I couldn’t, not until Sera was safe back in my arms. Sam growled inside my mind, pacing in a sense fuelling our combined fear and dread. He begged to take over and find her himself but I couldn’t allow that. We had followed her when she first took off, yet that somehow made her run faster. I slammed my hand down on the desk that held our plans to relocate her in frustration. How could I have let myself scare her like that? Had been too clingy? What had gone through her head? We had won, she… she had won. I had never seen such sights of strength and fearlessness. It had been awe-inspiring beautiful and a show of just how much she deserved to be Luna of now, the biggest pack in existence. So what had driven her away?“Alpha”Carlos appeared nodding his head in greeting, his solemn look giving away the news he came to tell me.“We lost her trail.”I couldn&
Sera’s P.O.VMy heart was racing with excitement and absolute terror. I was pregnant. Damon was going to be a father, me, a mother. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. How? I mean I know how it happened but… HOW? I wasn’t ready for this, I couldn’t do this! Darren looked at me concerned, squeezing my hand tightly as we walked down the stairs of the packhouse.“My dear, please try and calm your heartbeat. I promise it will be over before you know it.”I was thankful he mistook my anxiety for the ceremony, I did not want to tell him the news. I attempted to smile back at him but I guess it was more of a grimace as he sighed and continued.“If you really don’t want to go through with this Sera, I can cancel it.”I shook my head, part of me so happy that he would do that for me and another part of me still screaming in terror at the idea of being a mother.“I’m okay, just… ne
