*Bellatrix* There were two different things about this time. One, it was fire and two, I was the one being chased not my mum. It was a trail of fire, fierce burning fire and even as I ran, it kept following me, ferociously spreading and almost getting closer.. I kept running, my breath coming out in short gasps and whimpers, it was then I caught sight of the familiar water, the crystal blue emittance sparkling from contact with the rays of sunlight and without thinking I dived Into it. .. "Bella! Bella wake up!" The voice sounded distant and strange. No one called me Bella. "Bella, can you hear me?" I jerked my eyes open, instantly sitting up but I immediately regretted it as a jolt of pain zapped right through my head. I whimpered, just as a strong pair of hands laid me back down. "Easy.." The owner of the hand said, and it took a while for me to recognize that voice. "Alpha Alec?" I gasped turning to stare at him. He sat down by the bed, looking as handsome as ever. "Are you
*Bellatrix* The only thing I wanted to do now was run. Run from this unrealistic yet real life mystery i had just been plunged into, and yes, run did I do. I snatched my hands away from Alec's grip and bolted down the stairs out of the house. Alec didn't call me back nor did I want him to, because if he did, the overwhelming sensation coursing through me might trigger me to do something rash and that was the last thing I wanted. I kept running even after I had left Alec's house and I didn't stop until I got to the bus station that led out of Howls — The residing town of the winter pack territory. The bus came around and I entered, making my stop at the T-junction that led to Faye's coffee where I was to meet Tee. My eyes scanned the shop when I entered to see if Tee was already there, turns out he was. Dressed in an almost similar outfit as the first time i had met him, only that this time he had on a hoodie with his sunglasses. He waved his hands at me from the far end where he sat
~ Two weeks later ~ *Bellatrix* "In total, there are thirty nine mails since the last time we checked." Karen said, raising her head from the laptop to look at me. I shook my head and stood up, dusting my hands from cleaning the kitchen cabinet. "I told you not to check it, I'm taking a break from work for a while. I mean as long as we are here, we should try to live a normal life" We had arrived Howls yesterday after securing an house to stay. It was rented out to us at a cheap price so I didn't mind the cleaning that had to be done to make it feel a little like home. Not like I couldn't afford a better one, but so far at the rate the number of humans moving to Howls kept increasing, this was the only vacant house we could find. Not like I really cared, we weren't going to be staying for long anyway. Karen raised her eyebrows at my earlier reply to her. "Our lives can never be normal Sis, we both know that." She was right but instead of agreeing with her, I only shrugged. "We co
I would decide to blame it on my blinding anger or the fact that I had nowhere to stay and the night was already here, that I had just pulled into Alec's driveway, but either ways i was here and I had no intention of going back. Well, not now. I got down from Leila's car, not forgetting to press the lock and trudged to the doorstep. My hands lingered on the doorbell as a rational part of me started to contemplate if this was a good idea. Well, my irrational self won and just as I was about to finally press the doorbell, the door itself swung open. Or rather, Alec had just opened it. I took a step back as I stared at him with wide eyes, almost getting lost in his blue orbs that I had not realized he was shirtless until I accidentally glanced down. I regretted it instantly as I felt a burning heat creep up my cheek. I immediately stared back down fiddling with my fingers. I have never been this nervous in my entire life, or I would say I was never one to be nervous but somehow ever
* Alec * My second chance mate was mysterious. It was something I didn't quite understand yet but I was determined to, by all means. I leaned back on the armchair as the early morning sun seeped in through the half open window blinds. I had woken up about an hour ago, (leaving Bellatrix on the bed as she was still fast asleep) to ponder on the sudden interest in twist in my life. It was weird how I had gone from heartbroken white wolf Alpha, to this Alpha whose second chance mate is a buck load of mystery. I wouldn't have concluded that if I had at least gotten more than a scrap of information about her, but the only thing I was able to find out was that she had a sister who was due to attend Oaks college today. Anything else wasn't found, it was like she didn't exist at all. That alone put me on the edge not to talk of her mere touch being able to cause a disturbance to the pool of transition and the fact that Hera still could not decipher what she was. Also add that, her mere e
*Bellatrix* Anger, would definitely not describe what I felt right now. I gripped my fork tightly as I aggressively stabbed the pancakes on my plate. He just had to speak, he just had to fucking say it out loud! Why the hell would Alec even think I would ever want to be a part of a Pack? Hell! I fucking hated their mere existence,okay probably not all of them, but the fact remains that I absolutely wanted no kind of relations with Lycans, forget the fact that I was getting attracted to one of their kind. I glanced at the door as it suddenly creaked open to reveal a man I certainly do not know entering, he didn't look so old, he would pass as same age as my Father if he were alive now..... "Who the hell are you?" I stood up instantly, my hands sneakily going down to my waist belt to pull put my hidden short gun. The strange man in question grinned at me as he stepped closer. "It is a pity you do not know me little one. I would tell you who I am, but I'm afraid time is a luxury I
"Faeries? As in Fae?" Vassily was still standing before me with hands outstretched. "You won't take my hands? Did you not say you wanted to leave." He smirked as he stared at me. Vassily and Michal were smart for one, because they knew I was naturally curious and would want to hear the rest of their story after him saying they were faeries. But I could shock them, I would find out without their help. I smiled back at Vassily and reached for his outstretched hands. "I did say that, so can I leave now?." Vassily pulled me up and motioned to the door. "Go on out." I balanced myself on my two feet, seeing that I wasn't going to collapse again like I had done earlier, I hurriedly walked to the door. I then stopped and looked back at them. "You are not letting me go just because I asked for it, are you?" Michal nodded as his fingers tapped the arms of the chair he sat on. "You are a smart one Bellatrix and we would be waiting for you to come back for us." I squinted my eyes at
Bellatrix: The drive to the pack house was uncomfortably silent with Alec glancing at me occasionally for whatever his reasons were. I kept silent looking out as if I didn't notice it. Finally we pulled to a stop in front of the pack house. "Bella.." I glanced at Alec, raising my eyes in question to his sudden calling of my name. "What is it?" He blinked and then shook his head, "Never mind." I scoffed as I stepped out, the pack house wasn't really filled up the way it was the first time i got here, even the front space was very scanty though I didn't stop to scrutinize as my feet hurriedly lead me to the pool, however I did not miss Alec's overwhelming presence as he behind me. The pool was just as crystal blue as I remembered, the rays of the sun hitting it making it shine in all its beauty. I crouched low and then slowly placed my hands into it, it didn't spring up like it had that day, instead it started to emit light, I stared at it in shock and I did not miss the gasp
Location: Silver Castle (The Alpha King's HQ) [Alec:] Fucking funny, if you ask me.I am being dressed up for my coronation. I will be the next Alpha King. Like I said, fucking funny if you asked me. Who knew killing Steven will earn me this title."You know you have to do this?" Of course, Hera knows best."You know I don't want to, besides I thought I was going to be punished for killing their King, not having them beg me to be their King?" But still, I am here.My mind travels back to the incident that led to this, how the elders were waiting for me after the Astrid war. I can still remember how they had dropped to their knees on seeing me, all muttering; "Your Majesty" There were four of them and that was three weeks ago.They had then told me that as the White Lycan, I was the rightful heir to the throne. I didn't want it, heck I was still fucking struggling as an Alpha, talk more of being the Alpha King, yet I could tell that it was something I had to do — after all, the
Time: A week after the war. ---- Peace. For the first time in months, I am waking up to an overwhelming sense of peace. Nothing matters anymore; nothing can bring me back. No death. No vengeance. Just peace.In this peaceful place, there is no fighting; there is no sorrow. In this calm world of peace, I feel complete.But there is one person that matters to me. This peacefulness cannot last forever.I sit up, careful not to disturb the peace around me. I stretch my arms out, feeling the muscles in my back and shoulders loosen.I look around, taking in my surroundings. It is a beautiful garden, surrounded by trees and flowers. The sun shines brightly, warming my skin.I look around, searching for the source of the warmth. It is coming from a large tree in the centre of the garden. It is tall, the trunk twisting gracefully as a large red leaf rests on top of its head.Slowly, I climb down the steps of the fountain I was lying in and walk towards the tree. My feet crunch
[Bellatrix:] Starkev's reaction is instant as he screams, "Guards!" He knew. He knew we will be here. "Now!" Trikan yells and I watch as Starkev's guards and Trikan's warriors meet in the middle, Trikan leading his troupe.My fists clench around my sword and I look at Alec. "Go to him Bella, this is your fight" His voice is steady but I hear the underlying fear and worry that he tries so hard to hide.I nod and run towards Starkev, Alec swinging his swords against the enemies as I push through the battleground.Finally, I get to Starkev's front, his guards are fighting with Trik's warriors so it's just him and I. I raise my sword and I can tell he is ready for it but I don't move an inch.Starkev turns slowly until he faces me, eyes filled with hatred and something else; desperation?"It seems you have a plan Bellatrix, why not give it up now. Surrender?" He taunts me. "You cannot win."I chuckle darkly, looking at the enemy who surrounds us. My people are being slaugh
[Bellatrix:] It is midnight, I can see it from the little opening at the top of the walls. I need to get out of here. I glance at my brother who hasn't talked to me since his outburst earlier. He is asleep. I sigh. The ropes binding us are laced with dark magic. I know, because I have tried to loosen it out, but each it keeps sending jolts of painful electric bolts down my spine. I bit my lips in anger. This shouldn't be like this. This shouldn't fucking end like this. I shut my eyes, wishing that he was here.. Alec. "No proper training, and yet you call yourself the chosen" I jerk out of my train of thoughts and glance at my brother. "You were not sleeping" I state. He rolls his eyes, "Who sleeps in a situation like this?" I gulp, short of words. My brother is disappointed in me and I have no idea what to do, exept- "You speak like it was my choice, brother" I finally say, holding his icy stare. "Everyone has a choice, Bellatrix!" "Just like you had a choice when you decided
Operation save my mate from the Dark Fae Kingdom took a lot more planning than we thought and the time was ticking so fast. When we had finally come to a conclusion, an hour has passed. Six hours left."Hera, are we set?"Hera appears how of thin air, holding a book. "What's that?" "Just come with me" Coming with Hera meant her taking us to the pool of transition which was now unfreezed. I glance back at the pack house and it as silent as a graveyard, hopefully there won't be any attacks on my pack while I am away seeing that I am leaving Hera in charge.Hera places the book beside the bank of the pool, kneels and starts to chant incoherent magical words. She then brings out a knife and asks me to stretch my fingers, I do, and in flash she swipes the knife over my thumb, blood spills out and lands in the pool.I don't say anything as my thumb starts to heal. She knows what she is doing."What the hell!" Karen mutters from behind me. The pool starts to shake, and the water shoots
I failed. I couldn't kill him. I got myself killed instead. So much for being the chosen.My head is not throbbing, everything seems at peace. Who am I kidding? If I open my eyes now, I will be alive, not dead like a part of me wished I was. There's no reason to pretend it won't happen again, but if I open my eyes now... I'm still here. And that means he lives, too, Starkev lives and my being alive puts me at his mercy and I hate it.My eyes flutter open and I groan at the pain that hits my abdomen when I tried to move. he had stabbed me with the rain dagger. The rain dagger that does not only maim a warrior, but allows control of one's willpower.Where I am is not obvious, although I am quite sure this is not astrid. Either ways I am in a cell of some sort. The light is dim, but I can see the faint outline of some shelves along the walls, and the bars on my right are made of steel. The ceiling above me is made from wood, and the walls seem sturdy, even though
Thankfully, I notice it is not only Alec that is here. He is here with Ryan, Leila and a bunch of warriors. War is really sneaking up on us as fast as possible. I watch with guided eyes as we now stand on opposite side, a fallen trunk of tree separating us. "You are a King, but you sneak up on your subjects for war, how very low of you" Alec grits out to Steven. "You were never my subject from the beginning, Alexander. The stupid prophecy made sure of that" With those words, Steven lunges forwards with an inhuman speed, aiming for Alec's head. I scream out in warning as he makes contact but nothing else happens. His fist meets thin air, right between the two leaders. Everyone gasps, It appears that Steven's attack failed because Alec simply raises his hand, palm out and Steven stops dead in his tracks. Alec stares at his hand, shocked at the fact that only his palm had stopped Steven from attacking him. He then turns towards Steven who looks just as
Should I have listened to my instincts telling me something was wrong, maybe I should have but I didn't, and now we are here after running all the way from the pack house into the deeper part of the woods, we are almost at the territory borders. "It's been a while since I ran this long" Leila comments as she drapes on her clothes back because she had shifted to her wolf form when we had run earlier."I think we should go back" I say with a sigh that has Leila turning to face me."Why?" I do not reply her, instead I say with much more firmness now, "we should go back""And why should we do that?" She demands.Maybe I am being paranoid, maybe nothing is going to happen , maybe it is just an instinct, but in that moment I want to be cautious even if there's really no danger.I start to speak again, but my words are cut short in my mouth when I hear the creaks in the trees. We are already standing behind our tree when the first arrow flies past us, hitting the tree next to u
There are a lot of things on my mind, like a lot, but Alec's silence as we eat is not helping matters at all. “Alec" I start. He looks up from his food, giving me one look that says, ‘I'm not talking to you’. The fact that he didn't even bother with a fake smile tells me everything I need to know. Still, I press on. "I need to go back to Astrid," I think that does something because he snaps his head over to me so fast he nearly gets whiplash.”Why?!” he demands. His voice is harsh and rough. "You can't!" he practically shouts. I stay silent for a few seconds, he speaks again, "Bella" this time it is quieter. He sounds desperate.Now I grin at him, "You didn't want to talk before, I got your attention with that" Alec doesn't look amused, just irritated. "So you are not going?"I shrug, "Not yet, there is a reason why I landed back here, I should find out" Alec stares at me for a long time before speaking again,"I'm sorry about what happened at the packhouse, you didn't have
