They say problems come in threes. But Elsa’s life had always been one big problem since her father died. There was always something that her stepmother and stepsister were unhappy with and Elsa was desperate for a break from them. She never expected the break to come in the form of Nate. The tall, dark and handsome stranger that she had never noticed around town until one night, he saves her life and propels her into a life she never knew existed. It would have been easy if Elsa had never met Alpha Nate. It would have been simpler if she was never shown what lurked in the shadows. But life was never meant to be simple, at least not for Elsa.
View MoreElsa Five months had passed since I killed Kyra. Some nights, her face still haunts me and Rex needs to remind me that I killed her. That there was no way she was coming back this time. There had been no sightings of Vampires, making Kyra right about one thing. She took us on alone. Maybe she really had been ready to die. Fingers click in my face. “Daydreaming?” I smile at Rex as he hands me a juice. He kisses me on the cheek and then kisses my very swollen belly. “I can’t help it.” I whisper, taking a mouthful of the juice. “There hasn’t been a problem in months. Everyone is happy.” “What about Oliver? he still hasn’t forgiven you.” “He never will. I was the reason he lost his mate.” “But…” “It doesn’t matter. I would be the same if I lost you. Now drink, I want our boy to be strong.” I roll my eyes at him. It still wasn’t a hundred percent certain that we were having a boy or girl. “Why don’t we just go and see Fern? She has a machine that can tell us.” He pleads. He h
RexIt takes a few hours for one of the guards to locate Rosa. They find her unconscious and in her underwear. Tied to a tree and gagged in the deepest part of the forest.Her blonde hair was a mess, she had scrapes and bruises all over her, but she insisted she is fine. That worse things have happened to her.She stands next to me as we both look on over Elsa.“Still no sign.” I mutter. She had been barely conscious when we found Kyra. By the time Elsa was dropped to the ground, she was completely unconscious and she had been that way since. That was three days ago.I couldn’t find a single mark on her. No bullet holes. No strange scent coming from her mouth. The baby’s heart was beating normally too and yet, she couldn’t wake up.“I have tried everything.” Rosa murmurs.“I know.”“No, you don’t understand. There is nothing else. No other medicine. No herbal remedy. No concoction. Her heart is beating perfectly and so is the heart of the unborn pup. I cannot find anything wrong.”“I
RexNo one had seen Rosa. She had just vanished.For a brief second, I feel Elsa. Pure dread washes over her.‘Elsa, talk to me.’ I link as I hurry back towards Rosa’s cottage. "Is something wrong? Is it the pup?"Links start coming in from Oliver and other guards in the forest. Lycans had been found dead. Silver bullets in their heads or their hearts.‘It’s not Rosa’. Elsa is somehow keeping calm. ‘It’s Kyra. I can kill her.’‘Elsa, you can’t shift. You are pregnant.’Her fear kicks in as she realises she is at a massive disadvantage.As I approach Rosa’s cottage, I feel Elsa’s pain.‘Elsa you need to keep talking.’ But there was silence and she wasn't here.‘Elsa?’Pushing open the door of the cottage, I find it empty, the fire in the fireplace had gone out a long time ago.‘Elsa, where are you?’‘Forest.’ She whispers back which is followed by a cry of pain.Zara and Oliver come running towards me.“We have been breached.” Oliver mutters.“I know that. It’s Kyra, she portrayed hers
ElsaHis grey eyes don’t leave mine as his brain puts together what I was trying to say. It was the birth of Zara and Olivers twins that had freaked me out. The fact that one twin was fine and the next minute, he was gone and nothing could have helped him. I was certain it was me, that I had brought my bad luck with me and I was afraid of something happening to James.The day that I realised I was late on my period. I freaked out because I didn’t want children. Knowing that I would be a bad mother. Nor was I ready for them. Not with everything that's happening right now.Rosa had taken one look at me and said I was pregnant. One single look. She told me that she would find me a test to confirm it.I hadn’t said anything to anyone. I didn’t understand how she knew. She encouraged me to talk to Rex, she told me that he would be happy. Of course he would. He had openly said it. I was the problem. Me not him.It was now. I had to tell him now before he got himself killed.His hand pushes
Rex“She’s panicking.” I mutter as Oliver hangs up the phone to one of the Alpha’s“Do you want to go and check on her? I can keep making calls.”“She said she stubbed her toe.”He smiles as he tries not to laugh. “She doesn’t quite understand the matebond does she?”“No. Our bond is different to what she had with Nate. She probably doesn’t understand that I know she’s lying or the fact I can feel it.”“You should tell her.”“I will, but not right now. It's only something she has heard. It's nothing major. Plus, she’s with Rosa, maybe it’s something Rosa has said, but right now, we need to prepare for the meeting at two.”He rings around to a few other packs. Oliver was pretty much getting the same response I was. They weren't happy, but they agreed to the meeting.“That’s the last of the Alpha’s.” Oliver mutters as he hangs up. “They have all agreed.”“And they are all pissed about it.” I groan“Do you blame them? We haven’t had to discuss Vampires in a long time. They’re not stupid
Elsa“You hit me?” I mutter, rubbing my cheek after I slammed my hand against her face.“You are not yourself. I need you to snap out of it. We all do.”“I’m fine.” I mutter, but I wasn’t sure if that was true. My mind seemed to be running at a million miles an hour. Different images popping into my head. I was trying to remember what Kyra had said the last time I saw her. If there was even a hint of a plan in her words. I couldn’t. All I could remember was her horrible smug smile. “Elsa?” Rex smiles, slipping his hand between the front seats and reaching for mine.I take his warm fingers in mine. His calmness was reassuring. How he was always calm when chaos surrounded me, I will never understand.“Just breathe.”For a few moments, I do as he says. Pushing all the bad thoughts from my head. Trying to give myself a clear mind so that I could think straight.“She’s here.”All three of them nod.“I’m not crazy?”“No. You are right.” Rex’s brow furrows. “Somehow, she is alive.”“Or sh
Rex“Elsa, Kyra is dead. I killed her myself.”“You’re wrong!” She snaps at me as she tries to look around me.“Elsa, I broke her neck. She couldn’t have survived that. Humans don't survive that.”Her eyes are wide. “I know what I saw.”“I know. But it’s just your mind playing tricks on you after everything you have been through.”“Tricks?”“You have been through a lot and it’s finally catching up with you.” I try to wrap my arms around her, but she shakes her head at me.“She survived once.” She mutters. “Someone saved her before.”“This time it’s different. You have to trust me.” I should have asked Rosa for some help before I left. Maybe a tonic or something that could have helped Elsa.Her eyes refocus on mine. The darkness slowly disappears until I see those beautiful baby blues.She gets back in the car. Her knee jiggles as we pull away. Her hands tie themselves up in knots.She keeps looking behind us.“There is no one there.” I rest my hand on her thigh and her knee stops jigg
RexElsa was gone by the time I woke up. In her place in my arms was her pillow. She was pretty good at getting away if she needed to. I was massive in comparrison to her.She hadn’t been gone long, her scent was still strong. Maybe an hour tops.Dressing, I follow her scent through the house and out the front door. “Alpha Rex!” Zara calls out to me. She hurriedly paces towards me with James strapped to her chest“Zara, I’m a little busy.”“I know.” She matches my strides. “You’re looking for Elsa. I can save you the trouble. She’s with Rosa.”“Why?”She shrugs her shoulders at me. “It seemed important but I didn’t think it was my place to ask. Maybe she has gone to ask Rosa for some help. Elsa hasn’t really said much since the plane or the meeting. I’m sure she must be grieving to a point.”“Maybe, maybe not.” I turn ready to head in Rosa’s direction. Thinking about how she broke down in the shower yesterday.“Has she said anything to you? About how she killed Corina?”“No.”“Alpha,
ElsaThe plane touched down and just like before, there were cars waiting for us. People looking on eagerly. Rex must have told them already.Oliver runs towards us, embracing Zara and lifting her off the ground. He thanks Rex for bringing her home. And quickly starts asking questions, wanting to know what happened.“Debrief back at the house.” Rex mutters. His hand had been on mine the entire time since he had pulled me on his lap. Almost afraid to let me go.The car ride is quiet. Rex’s eyes would fall on me every few minutes. I could feel his worry. The concern that he had for me. He wanted to ask me questions but I knew he would wait until we were alone.Even when Rex invites them in so they could talk, he still refuses to let go of me. Maybe it was his touch, holding me together like glue. Preventing me from having some kind of melt down.They sit around the glass table. Already talking about what had happened like it was some kind of history story. But it was me. I was the one w
ElsaMy head was throbbing. Who the hell decides to throw a kids party in a small cafe at this time of night?Tossing some paracetamol back my throat, I head for home. The one place that I didn’t want to be.As the rain starts to fall, I pull the thin coat around me and quicken my pace. I had to get home before my stepmother, Kyra, realised I was late. She would be fuming if I didn’t have supper ready for her and Sadie.Pulling my phone out my pocket, I check the time. Two minutes, I could get home in two minutes. My walk turns into a run as I turn into our street. My feet splash through the puddles as I watch the clock on my phone tick over.The lights were on and I groaned. I was supposed to have been home already. Kyra was bound to hit the roof for the fifth time this week and it was only wednesday. She wouldn’t care that I had to do over time. I pause to take a breath, wondering what my punishment would be tonight.I could hear my stepsister's shrill voice before I opened the doo...
