Running out of time

Alora

Without sparing a second, I raced out of the hospital as I rushed to Rebecca's room.

I froze in shock the moment I stepped into her room.

Rebecca was curled on the ground, her hair disheveled, her eyes red-rimmed and puffy, as tears streaked down her face, making her look so hideous and vulnerable.

"Mother-in-law.". I mumbled as I drew the distance between us.

"Just leave me alone, Alora; I want to be by myself." She spat.

I shook my head. "No, Mother, you're not fine, and I cannot leave you, at least until you've told me what the matter is." I mumbled as a cold chill ran down my spine.

She shook her head, and more tears rolled down her face.

"Come on, mother, talk to me. A problem shared is a problem half solved." I mumbled, wondering what could possibly be wrong.

"Is my poison Alora?" She cried, choking on her saliva.

"What about it, mother?" I whimpered, scooting closer to her.

"It's okay, Gina; besides, I'm fine now.". "I know, but still, it doesn't change the fact that he almost raped you." She murmured, as tears stung her eyes. "But come to think of it, Elena, why would Blake ever do such a thing?". "He claimed pups from your fated mate are much stronger." I say curtly. "That bastard." She cursed. "It's okay, Gina. I'm okay, and that's all that matters now." I say reassuringly, and she flashes me a quick nod. *What do you say? We sneak out for a while". I murmured, hoping that will ease the tension. "Fine by me. I'm ready when you are." She smiled brightly as we both ambled out. In a blink, two guards appeared from the corner, dragging Gina and me. "Let go of me." I hissed, but they just wouldn't budge. The guards dragged us down the stairs and through the back door. Once

    Chapter Twenty Nine A visit from the Demon King Lydia My worst fear had just been confirmed: Elena's beast was still in there and just needed a few more trainings before it could be unleashed. No, I couldn't let that happen. We were all going to be doomed if her beast unleashed. All my plans and sacrifices were going to be a total waste. "No, I couldn't let that happen." I murmured as I paced to my room, sweats breaking out from my brows. The moment I entered my room, I froze. The demon king was in my room. Without sparing a second, I locked the door with the key and raced towards him. "Why are you here? What if someone scents your presence? I hissed as the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. "Just a simple task, Lydia. Kill her second chance mate, so her full powers will not be unleashed. Once her full powers are unleashed, all our efforts will be in vain. I won't be able to rule, and you surely will not marry the Lycan King." He hissed. "That's not true, Ahri

"I asked, Where is Ethan?'" I snapped, as anger bubbled up inside me. "Son." My mother screamed, running down the stairs. She must have heard my loud screams from upstairs. "Where have you been? I've been worried. I thought you would never come back." She rasped, as she closed the distance between us, cupping my both cheeks. "I'm here now, Mother; there's no need to be worried." I hissed, and I turned in the direction of the guard, but he was nowhere in sight. "Where's Ethan?" I asked, directing the question to my mom, as a sudden chill gripped me. Ethan was one of the major reasons I had to return; I've been worried that my mom might have done something bad to him after the stunt he pulled at my supposed wedding. "Where's Ethan's mom?" I ask again, setting her a straight glare. She sti

She snarled, and that seemed to ignite anger in me, as I instantly rose to my feet and stomped off. I couldn't stand this nonsense any more. All the guards I passed by kept shivering and swallowing lumps in their throats as I walked by. I reach my room in no time, as I shoved it open before entering in. I don't even bother looking around the room as I start undressing. I just wanted to take a shower and clear my mind. My heart becomes restless as I unbutton the last button of my shirt. I spun to fling the shirt on my bed, but instantly froze at the sight before me. Alora was sprawled naked on my bed, staring at me without even a flicker of shame. I instantly regained my composure. "Get out of my room, Alora." I hissed, but she simply laughed. I blinked, confused; she just laughed. Who the fuck was she even laughing at? "I s

I hissed as she instantly charged at me, slamming against the wall of my room. "One more sound, and I will kill you." She hissed, dragging me out of the room. Ever since that day, Lydia ordered her men to beat up Gina; her hatred towards me seemed to increase. I knew Lydia had always hated me, but it only got worse. She would always make sure she punished me every day, and when she didn't have any time to do that, she decided to double my duty in the palace, leaving me with no breathing space. "Here is the pig." She hissed, releasing her grip on me, as I crumpled to the ground. "Gosh, she looks so disgusting; I can't even stand the sight of her." I craned my neck to the voice, which happened to be Genevieve. She instantly charged at me, slapping me on my cheeks, as my face snapped to the side, and heat rose to my cheeks.

"The B I just carved on your neck signifies Blake. You are now my personal slave from today henceforth". He murmured, as tears welled in my eyes, Never in a million years could I have ever believed something as horrible as this would ever happen to me. "Now take your disgusting self out of my room. I don't want to see you." He hissed as I spun to my feet and ran out. I ambled straight to my room. Once I was in the comfort of my room, I closed the door, and as I leaned against it, my tears fell, threatening to mask my vision. "Open this door, Elena." The sudden voice from outside came from Lydia; I shuddered as a cold chill ran down my spine. "Didn't you hear me? I said open this door, or else I will break it down." She growled as I spun to my feet, wiping my teary face with m

I thought it very important that I confront her and warn her never to pull a stunt like she did with Alora today. "He's in the castle hospital, my prince." The guard shuddered as I creased my brows in confusion. "And what is he doing there?" I asked, giving him a straight glare. "He was attacked and admitted it. He's been unconscious for three weeks now.". "Fuck." I groaned as I changed directions and descended to the castle hospital instead. "Greetings, Prince Asher." The doctor by the door bowed. "How is Ethan doing? I need to see him right now." I rasped as my breathing grew heavy. "I will be lying if I say your friend is doing fine. He's been the same since we admitted him and isn't responding to treatments.". "Fuck. No.". I cursed as anger bubbled up inside me. My mom knew Ethan was in the hospital and kept it away from me.

Loud footsteps coming towards me echoed loudly in my ears, and before I could even roll off my tiny bed, a splash of cold water cascaded from my head down to my feet. "Ahh....". I shrieked and whimpered as I rolled off my tiny bed. "A wicked demon like you deserves no rest. Now get up and move". Lydia snarled, her voice cold and sharp as though it could slice. I shuddered as I rose to my feet and slowly moved towards her. "Why are you starting here like a statue? Didn't you hear move, get out, leave the room"? She hissed as she charged at me, landing hard punches on my face. "Ahh...". I cried in pain as I crumpled on the ground, and blood spilled from my mouth. "You disgusting creature. Is this the time you're supposed to be waking up, or where you expecting me to do the house chores for you". She hissed, as she pulled me roughly by my hair. "Lydia, please stop."

In a second, I elongated my fangs, piercing them deep into one of my arms, before doing the same to Rebecca and mixing my blood in hers, but then nothing.I blinked, terrified. Wasn't this what Lena had instructed me to do? Could it be I got something wrong?And just then, Alora's chilling voice sounded a few inches away from me as she called out to

Lydia seemed to notice the shift in energy as she rolled off me and raced away. My eyes don't trail her movements as a sudden chill grips me, followed by a piercing scream slipping off my lips.And soon, bones began to cover flesh as a wave of energy surged through me, and boom! I shifted into a hybrid of both my demonic beast and my white wolf, capturing everyone's attention as almost all bowed in reverence at the supremacy and power oozing out of me.In a blink I spotted Asher, lying helplessly on the ground, as the demon king towered above him, pressing him with all his weight such that he couldn't move. And that seemed to ignite anger inside my hybrid form as it took a leap towards them with one sole purpose in mind: to kill the demon king.I kept slamming everything in my way until I finally

As if reading my thoughts Zayn ambled towards me."He went to the training ground with Ethan. Word just got out of how the demons had suddenly appeared in the werewolves pack and we're killing them ruthlessly, he thought it wise they trained harder to avoid such horrible circumstance".I stumbled backwards, as tears rolled off my eyes. I needed to put an end to this, and save werewolves, I knew they had hurt me, but my duty as the chosen one involved saving all creatures, that's why the Moon goddess had kept me till now. I couldn't go to the werewolves pack, while still protecting the warlocks, but the demons could always come to us at a fix place, so we ended this once and fall all.In a blink, I sent a mindlink across to Asher telling him to come to the living room."You seem stress Elena".

He mumbled, no longer holding the tears in."Little Wolf, are you okay? Your body is heating.". He grumbled, panic evident in his voice as he scooted closer to me on the bed, wrapping a hand around my waist."I don't know, Asher, I think I need water." I snapped as he rushed quickly to the toilet tap and fetched a glass of water for me, rushing towards me as he poured the water in my mouth. In one gulp I drank it."Are you okay, little wolf?". He asked again, as I shook my head, goosebumps crawled up my skin. This was the exact feeling I felt before Rebecca was kidnapped. Something terrible was about to befall us all if we didn't act quickly, and I could feel it."Little Wolf.". He mumbled, holding my face in his hands this time."I'm worried, baby; I'm so worried.

She gives me a light pat on my back.'Everything will be okay baby I promise'.

He growled, his voice laced with so much power and authority I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand. Asher swallowed an instant bile not from fear, but the sadness and nervousness that came from seeing his father again; I slowly pushed closer to him as I entwined our hands, pulling the doorknob open with my other hand.In a blink, Asher and I entered inside the Lycan king's office with Ethan trailing behind us."Have a seat.". The Lycan king mumbled, with a stern expression on his face, as Asher's features darkened."I'm better off standing.". He hissed."It wasn't a request but an order; have a seat, boy.". He growled, as Asher's nose flared and his knuckles turned white. I placed a hand slightly on his waist.'Breathe, baby, breathe.'.

In a blink, my eyes fluttered open as they came to rest on an unfamiliar curtain.Suddenly memories came flickering in. Asher and I had done it; we had successfully completed our mating process. I couldn't smile the smile that crept up my face at the realization that we could truly say we were mates and my full potentials were now in me, only waiting to be unleashed.Inhaling a deep breath, I craned my neck to face Asher, who was sprawled naked beside me, and the sight of him instantly made me wet again as desire surged through me.

She was taller, bigger, more intimidating, had horns on either side of her head, an eye that blazed fire, and sharp fangs that could easily slice. Her entire skin was equally covered in black and red fangs.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her shadow amble closer to me as I shuddered; she gently placed her hands on my shoulder, causing adrenaline to surge through me as I looked up; her eyes were wet with tears as she instantly sent a mindlink.'And still the same person, Asher, don't you recognize me?
