Bellatrix: "Come on Hera.. I just need something to do instead of sitting my ass down in that packhouse waiting for your Alpha to comes out and—" "Hey..hey sister-in-law, you okay? You sound like you are going to cut off Alec's head once you see him." Leila enters into the kitchen, slamming down a bag of whatever it is on her hands and grinning at me. "Hey Hera". She waves at Hera who nods at her with a smile. I roll my eyes. "I wasn't speaking to you Lee." "Ouch. That hurts Sis." I find myself rolling my eyes again before glancing back at Hera. "You won't let me work would you?" "I think it's already too late." Hera says and then nods at the door. "Hey Big Brother!" I hear Leila squeal making me turn to see Alec standing at the entrance, arms folded with his signature cold gaze staring right at me. "Alec?" "Bella." He nods at me, "we need to talk" I do not know why, but the tone in which he speaks has my heart skipping a beat, and it is certainly not the good type of
Alec: My head is literally spinning and it is as if my heart is breaking into a million pieces. My wolf isn't making it any better either as he is howling in pain in my head. Do you think men cannot suffer heartbreaks? I tell you... You are definitely wrong. If there is anything much more worse than heartbreak, that's what I'm feeling right now. I keep wondering, why my is life never perfect? Growing up, I had an asshole of a Father.. An Alpha who didn't care a bit about his family and certainly not his pack, I had a brother who was so fucking selfish and wanted all the pack's wealth to himself. He was my Father's favorite son, after all birds of same feathers flocked together.. As for my sister and I, we were the good ones.. And my mum? Well she rejected my Father and left us alone until later though.. As if that wasn't enough, I found my mate, so beautiful and sweet yet death cruelly snatched her away from my arms... It was over, or so I thought until she came around – my secon
Bellatrix: Tee grins at me. "My acting skills are out of this world right?" My grip on the gun slacks and it falls off my hand as I am still staring at Tee. It takes a while for me to regain my -on-the-spur-consciousness-loss and when I finally do, The car has come to a stop in front of a very large building. I blink once.. twice and as swift as I can, I push open the door and jump out, not forgetting to grab the short gun that had fallen off my hand earlier. Tee comes out of the car too. Did I forget to add that he isn't on his mask like he was the first day I had seen him and now seeing his face clearly, his green eyeballs twinkling like the stars, I am feeling a weird sense of familiarity with him. I shake my head as if trying to shake off my traitorous emotions, and then I ask. "Where is Ryan? What did you do to him?" My hands tighten on the gun as I speak. He walks closer to me, hands folded, all playfulness faded from his face. "I didn't kill your Mate's Beta, don't worry
Bellatrix: If I am to explain my life right now in one word, I would say it is a fucking mess. I mean how the hell did I go from lone wolf hunter to second chance mate of a Lycan to lost princess of the Fae Kingdom? My head is swirling with different questions as I stare at Michal after he had made his statement. "So, you want me to leave here?" "Leave the mortal realm to be precise, but its just for a while." He answers. My mind travels to Alec and I bite my lips as if to stop the sharp pain that zaps through my chest at the thought of him. Impulsively, my hands travels to my neck and I can still feel the mark as my fingers graze over it. "She is going nowhere." "Holy shit! Alec!" I literally jumped off my sitting position at his sudden appearance. "What the hell are you doing here!!" "Well you didn't expect me to let you leave me, did you?" "Welcome here young man... I've been expecting your arrival" Michal says to Alec as if it is a normal thing for him to suddenly a
Bellatrix: "It is always the same little one.. feel your magic. Michal says to me, whispering the last part. I sigh and shut my eyes, the words ringing in my ear.. "Feel your magic." Easily, my hands stretched forward to the gate and there is that feeling, like I have done this before and with that I am transported to when. ##### "Princess Bella..." Someone is calling me. Vassily my trainer stands a few feet away from me as he tries to teach me to how to break an enchantment. "Vassily, do I really have to do this? I just want to go play with Trik" Seven year old me murmured begrudgingly. "I know that, but you have to learn this first.. Trik is also busy with his trainings and you know His Majesty won't want you joking with yours." I sigh, my lips pout and I fold my arms in defiance. "Okay then, how about we make a deal princess.." My eyes shine brightly at that, I love making deals. "What is the deal?" "You have to learn to break this enchantment and I will let you sk
Bellatrix: The rays of the morning sun from the half opened window is one of what wakes me up, apart from the music from the harp coming from wherever in the castle. I remember waking up to this too when I was a kid. Mamai told me music was one of the magic of the Faeries and because of this, music never left the castle, it was like a ritual that should never missed. I loved it though, even now because there was something about Fae music that brings that sooth you need at the right time. "Are you awake, Princess Bella?" A startled gasp escapes my lips as Alec literally appears right in front of me... okay he did not basically, he just got out of the bathroom almost naked and the only thing making it almost is the towel hanging loosely around his waist. "You like what you see?" He smirks at me. Holy fuck! Did I add that he is dripping fucking wet and it is so goddamn sexy as the water cascades down his well toned abs disapearing right down to his navel. Yeah, I did not, but seriously
Alec: I am back at the pack house. In my office to be precise, where Hera is waiting for me in her assumed meditating stance. "You are back earlier than I expected" Hera says to me without looking up. I roll my eyes at her blatant lie. "You knew I would not stay longer than a day, you said it yourself." She chuckles with a shrug and then she slightly bows her head as she gets up from her sitting position. "Alpha Alec Knight.. Welcome back to your pack, there are issues waiting to be addressed and I hope you attend to them as swiftly as you can" She chuckles again and starts to walk away. "Hera, wait!" She glanced back at me. "You want to know, don't you? Why you have to let her go for now?" Hera states. I gulp and nod my head. She is right, I really want to know why I have to suffer it all again, the never ending pain of not having my mate beside me. "The balance between the two realms has to be mended as it has been broken for ages now after the battle between the two
Bellatrix: "Princess Bella, His Majesty would like to have you at the moment" I should be startled at the sudden baby-like melodious voice speaking to me, but I am not. After all I have had enough surprises for the past few days or two weeks if I might be skeptical enough. I turn around to see who the voice belongs to, and standing just a few feet away from me is a young girl, probably eighteen or nineteen I guess and boy does she gives it away that her favorite colour is blue. She is dressed in a blue gown, her hair is a mass of flaming blue and even her irises, christ.. "That's a lot of blue there girl" I cannot help but comment She grins and shrug. "Well, my name is Blue, Princess and I would be your handmaiden as from this day" "I see. That's okay I guess, but perhaps we can make some things clear on the issue of privacy, don't you think? Like the fact that I would like you coming through the door after a knock rather than appearing out of think air, mhm?" I grin back at he
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
