Natalia POV It been days since we were sent to the dungeon, I know it’s not that long but the days just seem the same, we survive on only bread and water, but Sean sometimes smuggles us food saying that we need our strength for what’s coming, I just nod and welcome the extra meals but I have no idea what is he talking about.Today the portions he brought were even bigger, "be ready", is what he said but he didn’t say for what, we don’t talk about the fight but we mind-link about other stuff including Sean’s suspicious behavior, some of us seem to know what he is talking about but some like me seem to be oblivious, but we all agreed it wasn’t something good and that we can’t tell anyone about it until we know what it is,I hear my cell door unlock and it’s sandy standing by the door, how the hell did she get out?“Hurry up Nat, it’s time” Sandy says in a rush, time for what, why can’t they give a complete piece of information?I follow her and see that Sean and a couple of the others,
Derek POV“Noooooo” I fiercely growl and run towards the monster that is my father, I rip him off of my mate and throw him across the room, I hold her tightly and she is barely conscious, what has he done? “Hey love … I’m here… you are okay” I tell my mate, but she doesn’t respond“Luna?” Dylan says horrified as he drops next to us, Dean Stands in the doorway shocked next to a sobbing Natalia,“YOU ARE A DEAD MAN” I growl as I tighten my grip on Alexandria “You can’t kill me, I’ve marked her…you don’t know how that will affect her now… isn’t that beautiful?” the asshole says just sitting on the floor smirking “Let me out”“I can’t, you will kill him…he is right, we don’t know what will that do to Alexandria”“She is our mate”“She’ll always be our mate”“I might not be able to kill you now, but sure as hell I can make you suffer” I snarl“Dean” I just call his name and he understands what I want to say, “I know…to the special room in the dungeons” Dean says as he picks the piece o
Alexandria POVI wake up by the river shore, the beautiful spot where Derek took me before the rejection, wait… the last time something like that happened I saw Luke, am I going to see him again? But this is me and Derek’s special place … or it was meant to be at least, why am I meeting Luke in Derek’s place, or am I meeting Derek? Does that mean Derek is… no, no, that’s not right, I was the one who got hurt… does this mean that I’m the dead one?“Well fuck you Moon goddess for giving me everything and just ripping it away” I start yelling out loud to the open space hoping the bitch can hear me“You are a sick asshole, you know that?... tormenting your children as you call them, giving them hope and love then just like that… it all disappears… you are a cold fucking bitch” I keep yelling“You do have a filthy mouth child” What the fuck? Who said that? Then a woman appears from … I really don’t know, she just appearedHer skin is the color of the midnight sky, her hair is the color of
Derek POV“They are my brothers” My mate answers“The guardians are hunters?” Dean asks stunned“Yes, we are the shunned ones” both guardians answer simultaneously in a very haunting way and i could swear that their grey eyes glowed a little “I thought you said your twin brothers were dead” I ask narrowing my eyes … she turns to face me again still in my arms, yes, I’m literally not letting her go again.“no, I said we lost my brothers, never said they were dead” she says, avoiding my gaze“The guardians are our Luna’s brothers, how special” one of the pack members says too excited for the situation we are in“If the guardians are hunters and they are the Luna’s brothers… does that mean the Luna is a hunter?” another one asksI feel Alexandria’s hand tighten on my arm, I look at her and she looks like she is about to faint“Let’s get you back to the hospital love” I tell her as I pick her up bridal style“We’ll take her” guardian … let’s call him guardian 1 says“We’ll make sure she
warning, the following might be triggering to some, please be careful Elizabeth POVPain… all I feel is pain, like my heart is being ripped out of my chest, my neck is burning like someone poured acid on it, one moment I was sitting in our house’s basement till the attack is over, the second I was curled on the floor screaming , what is happening?“He is marking another” my wolf says whimpering, no, not after all what I did for him, it can’t be true.The pain somehow gets even worse, my vision is blurring and I can hardly breath, is this how I die? Alone in a basement betrayed by my mate. I faintly hear the basement’s door break “Luna Elizabeth, it’s okay, the beta sent us for you” is the last thing I hear before the pain takes over me and I go unconscious - “Wake up, it’s okay, the pain is gone”“What do you mean? How?”“I don’t know but it just did”“What the hell is going on?” I hear Derek shouting from across the hall and I open my eyes“ANSWER ME” I hear Derek command and I j
Alexandria POV It’s been a couple of days since the guardians’ ball, Sophia is getting released from the hospital today , Derek still refuses to read the letter his mother left , I don’t know if it’s denial or is he mad at her for leaving them yet again.Dean on the other hand, is taking it harder than I anticipated, he never showed any emotions for the woman or that he cared about her, it was quite the opposite, but now, I guess he feels sorry for her, for what she’s been through, maybe the letter made him understand her more… and eventually forgive her.As for Dylan, he didn’t leave Louis’s cell until the day after, there were hardly anything for us to bury, not that it mattered anyway, Derek ordered for his remains to be scattered somewhere far away outside the pack borders for vultures to feed on… fitting end if you ask me.The pack is somewhat accepting me, it’s either because I’m the guardians’ sister or because I defended them during the attack, or maybe both, I don’t care as
Three years agoAdam POVI was sitting in the office with Max discussing something unimportant or maybe it was then Carter comes rushing in without even knocking“We found her” Carter says with a glint in his eyes, he always had a thing for my Lexi and he actually thought he might have a chance in being the one I’d marry her off to,Don’t get me wrong, carter is smart and ambitious but he is one of the weaker lineages , I had much bigger plans for her than just another pure hunter,. Mason Venatores , Max’s older brother, they’re the only other family as strong as ours, they will have the strongest offspring, unfortunately the fool only sees her as a little sister like he says, Max is the one following her like a lost puppy but he doesn’t have a say in this neither do Lexi.“Let’s go get her back then” I say standing up and getting ready to leave the office“We already have the pack surrounded, we think the whole pack is in on it” carter says following me as do Max,All the way to the
Derek POV“You son of bitch” Alexandria yells at me“You call yourself the alpha slayer?” Alexandria continue her scolding “No, I don’t call myself that…people call me that” I answer smirking which seems to enrage her even more “I don’t care what you are called, you are still a coward” Alexandria screams at me, okay, now she is taking it too far, as she usually does, and I won’t take it“Listen here mate, call me whatever names you want to call me, I’m still not going to do it, and I hate to sound like a dick, but that’s what the omegas are for” I say firmly “So you are still not going to do it… you are backing out of this?” she says with a fake disappointed look“I’m not backing out of anything since I’m not the one who volunteered in the first place” I say throwing my hands in the air.“It doesn’t matter we are in it together, you are supposed to have my back” she starts yelling again “Love, I’ll always have your back, but I’m not changing that stinky diaper” I say trying to cal
