[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?!"
"You have had your moment, Bella, now stay the hell out of this!" His tone is harsh but I'm not surprised to see that it has no bite to it. He steps away from me and towards Logan, his face hardening again as he continues, "We're done here, we've been done since the day you betrayed me, and I will not stand here and listen to you try to justify your atrocities!!" Logan's fists clench tighter, his eyes flashing a dangerous shade of red and a low growl leaves him, "you don't fucking know what I did! It was better for everyone if she died, Alec! Better for the world, better for us! Fucking hell, she didn't even die by my hands!! After all you came to save your mate from your insane brother" "Better for her! Better for you!" Alec throws his hands in the air, "how was trying to kill my mate better for you?! How was putting a knife to her throat any different from murdering her" "SHUT UP ALREADY!!!" Logan shouts and a deafening silence falls over us all. For a long minute
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
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
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
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
