One week and four days.Three more days to my promised war to the dark fae, and yet I do not feel as prepared as I should be feeling plus Vas told me, that every Royal Fae had elements they could control.. I still do not know what mine is. How would I lead the warriors to war if I don't even know my element talk more of controlling it.This is bad, this is so fucking bad. I say to myself as I make my way out of my room to the council hall. Since I got here, Michal has been including me in all kind of meetings with the elders, although I noticed that he never actually let me know about the boarder securities and stuffs. I once asked Tian about it and he intentionally or rather not but either ways he avoided the question which I have tried not to dwell too much on but then again, I need to know more about the city rather than the amount of foodstuff or herbs being planted each day.I heave in a sigh as I push open the council door, I am so lost in thought that it takes me a while to
Has it been over a day or two days, I'm not sure but I know I have really spent a while here. Three days if I am honest with myself. The stale smell of the food beside me says it all... They bring food for me whoever they are or rather only once have they actually brough food for me and that was after Trikan came that day. I did not get to see their faces because I actually woke up to the food beside me. The dark Fae King. I've not met him yet but I can't help but hate him with every fibre in me, I also cannot help but wonder if Michal and Vas are out there looking for me. Would they? It is a quesion I might not want an answer to. Perhaps they had gone back to the Peaceful life they had before I arrived. I do not do this on a normal day, doubting myself but I guess situations really lessens your point of view. I have to leave here... I just have to. The rattle of keychains and locks is heard. They are here again. Probably to take away the food which I did not even touch,
Fear - that one emotion that makes you human, just as much as it can kill. I hate it.. I hate feeling it, because it fucks things up. But right now, the only thing I can focus on, is my fear of the fire breathing Kragon staring down at me. I gulp, both my hands tightening on the swords I hold, because this is only what I have now.. My magic is nowhere to be found. I do not even know where to start. The Kragon advances toward me, thankfully she isn't flying, because if she did I will probably be drop dead by now. With a loud scream as I feel her fierce heat radiating, I swing one of the swords and let it pierce right through her chest. Futile. I should have known as the sword starts to melt, its debris now in liquid form pours to the ground. Even though I know it's useless, I swing the second one and it lands on her forehead also piercing it. Like I said, it is useless. My second sword meets the same fate as its partner, and now I am left weaponless. I have angered th
[Bellatrix:] Beep. Beep.. Low mumblings, or are they low or it'd just my ear hearing things that way, because even the beep sounds so faint and distant. I try to move my body but it'd like it is strapped to a place. I sigh, drifting off again. When I wake up again, the mumblings has stopped and the beep sound is closer. I move my fingers. "Holy shit!" My eyes shoot open at the sudden voice beside me. "Trix?" I let out a strangled gasp as I notice Kay sitting beside me. "Kay" I try to sit up, but I feel a hold of pain zilt through my head ad I do. "Don't force it, Sis" she says, pushing my shoulders BC back down. "What's happening Karen, why are you here?" I still do not know where I am so I let my eyes travel around the room. The door which I actislly just noticed flings open and I blink as he walks in — Alec. His eyes are bloodshot and the normal sparkle in his blue orbs is not there. He rushes over to my side nsking Karen step away. Soon he is k
[Bellatrix:] A lot has happened since I was away, Hera had told me and when I say a lot, I mean a whole lot. First off, she had said somehow the Alpha King had managed to turn the backs of all five Lycan provinces away from the Winter Pack province, the main pack in the whole of North America — which means if he calls on a war on the winter pack, well then we are done for, because no one is on our side. Add that he has now placed a bounty of five million dollars on my head, and as he put it, he has to bring the notorious wolf hunter who leaves no trace of her escapades to justice. Which leaves me with one conclusion, he knows about the prophecy.. Of course he would know, and so Alec being alive is a threat to him, a big threat and as for me, probably a tool to gain power. I exhale deeply as I take in the sight of the still frozen pool of transition. I came out here not quite long, as I was feeling a little bit suffocated being indoors for a long time.. And I could not resi
[Bellatrix:] "Bella, we need to talk.." He had said that, and although anyone hearing would certainly not read a meaning to that, I could not help but do, blame my two years of celibacy.. Totally. My toes tingle as I walk closer to his office as he had Left Karen and I at the pool after he had told me. Karen, not now.. I should not think of my sister's luck or ill luck rather at this point. I gulp when I finally get to the door, and then I raise my hands to knock. I knock only once, and the door comes flying open. A hiss almost leaves the tip of my mouth as I come face to face either Ryan. Certainly not who I was expecting. "Luna" he greets. And there they go again, with their name calling. I might probably just end up with an identity crisis as it is. "Ryan" I greet back with a nod. Much to my satisfaction, he steps out as I step in and I slam the door shut. Alec is sitting at his table, skimming through some books and also his laptop. Alpha work, I can tell with the
Bellatrix: The strong scent of roses hits my nose as I awaken from my slumber, I can hear the sound of rushing water and I can already tell a bath is being run for me. A blush creeps to my cheeks as I recall the incidents of earlier before — Alec had fucked me against his work table and then he had taken us up to the west wing of the packhouse where his room was and we had gone at it — over and over again till I passed out of pleasure and fatigue. How long has it been since I have been doing thoroughly fucked? my last year in school maybe? It was with a guy Callum and he did know how to handle a woman, but Alec beat him a hundred times better. I smile, hugging the blanket to my chest. "You are awake Luna" "Holy goddess" I sit up instantly, my head whipping to see the young girl standing at the edge of the bed. "You scared the shit out of me lady! And—" I squint closely at her— "you look quite familiar," I pause, the girl is silent, perhaps hoping for me to remembe
[Alec:] I hate Mother for doing this. I hate that Hera and Ryan think that this breakfast idea is a good one. I fucking hate that I have to sit at the same table with Logan, how much I hate that Bellatrix is being dragged into this. I hare that as much as I hate all these, I have no choice but to accept because according to Hera, fixing my Family comes first and it will be rude of me to dishonor the former Luna's request. Fucking formalities. Even still, I am still bitter at my mother as she walks to the dining table set for us all. "Why do you keep walking into my life like you never left us with your psycho of a mate, Mother" She stops at the entrance, "I am trying to fix things, Son" "Fix things? How very interesting that the only time you decided to fix things is when your beloved first son came back from prison, don't you think? Very practical of you to act like you care, Mother? And why the hell did you have to drag my mate into this bullshit get-together?!"
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
