ElsaIt was okay here. It wasn’t the same as Black Forest. People here didn’t have a problem with being passive aggressive to your face. They would say it with a smile when really they were thinking about ripping out your throat.I didn’t know if it had anything to do with me staying in the house or because they knew what was going on back home.I stare at my reflection in the vanity mirror. My baby blue eyes looked dull. My skin had a horrible tinge to it, making me look sickly. Nothing was physically wrong with me, yet I looked like I was ready to meet death.I tried not to think about it as I brush out my dark hair. I quickly braid it,wrapping it up into its usual bun when Rex knocks on my door.Since the first night, when I had fallen asleep, he collects me from my room to take me to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lola had offered as she was on the floor above me, but Rex always insisted. Telling me it was his duty as Alpha to keep his guests happy.“Why do you do that?” He mutters
Rex“Apothecarist? Like someone from ancient times.”Why hadn't Nate told her of all the other people that existed in our world? Everything always seemed to be a shock for her.“If you would have gone further than the gardens, you would have noticed that there are other things here. Not just Wolves, Lycans and Humans. But what concerns me right now is that you don’t even question where the potion comes from. Not once have you asked. You just take it.”She scowls at me as I walk away.It didn’t take long to find Rosa. As usual, she was in her little herb garden. She doesn’t look up as I approach.“I keep telling you, Alpha Rex. I cannot make it stronger, nor would I want to.”“She’s ill.”Her purple eyes flash in my direction. “Ill?”She sounded offended. Like I was accusing her of something.“Could it have something to do with the potion?”“Excuse me?” She drops her wicker basket and moves towards me. A skinny finger pointed at me. “Do you think that I could have made a mistake? That
Nate“Are you sure?” Finn mutters to me.“I’m sure!”“They will follow me? Because we have wasted enough time as it is. And have killed alot of Lycans.”“Corina said Vella is dead. His people need someone to follow. They don't want to die at the hands of humans.”“So I’m a back up plan for them?” He groans.“Does it matter? They all are on your side. People change their minds every single day”“You mean they are on Corina’s side!""Does it matter? They still chose you!""I still question you being here.” He mutters“I made my choice.” I snap, looking at the pile of dead humans. “They are scared of us, we have a chance.”He nods his head at me. “Soon, I will be able to take my place at the top.”I don’t respond and throw another human on the pile. Elsa would be turning in her grave if she saw what we were doing.“What about the bitch, found her yet?” He growls as he adds another dead human to the pile.“No. Kyra and her followers have miraculously disappeared. Maybe she realises that s
RexThree times I check on her before Lola corners me. I was surprised she waited so long.“You shouldn’t be here!” I growl as she forces herself into my office.“I want to see her.”“She’s sleeping. Now I suggest you go and do what ever it is you are doing.”“Why won’t you let me see her?”“She’s resting. She needs it. People don’t just get over being poisoned.”“What did that woman do to her?” She demands, folding her arms up over her chest. Her eyes narrow to slits. “Did she hurt her?”“As I have already told you, Rosa saved her life. Elsa would be dead right now if it wasn't for Rosa.”“But she isn’t a doctor. I’ve seen her around, picking plants, plucking fruit from trees. She ignores everyone.”“You and I see things very differently, Lola. But if you must know, Rosa has been a part of this family for a very long time. And I will not tolerate anyone talking about her like this.”She closes her mouth, her dark eyes on me. “Fine, please just let me see her.”“Why, so you can repor
ElsaI open my eyes to find purple ones staring back at me. Her blonde hair was tied back from her face.“Who are you?”“My name is Rosa. I am responsible for helping you heal. How are you feeling?”“A little better.”“You are healing quite nicely. Few more days and you will be back to your usual self.”She turns to leave. Grabbing a wicker basket from the bedside table.“You’re the apothecarist?” “I am many things, Elsa. But if that is the term you feel most comfortable using, then that is what you can call me.”“Thank you.” I mutter, sitting up in the bed.“You are most welcome.” She smiles back at me. “I have left a potion on the side. Your scent is strong.”I grab it without hesitation and toss the purple liquid back my throat. You would think I would be used to it by now.I remember Rex saying something about me not asking about it. But the reason I didn’t ask is because it was working, it was hiding me from Nate and Finn.Rosa smiles at me again, bobbing her head before leaving
RexIt wasn’t long before I could hear them arguing. Elsa was the loudest out of the pair of them. I could barely make out what Lola was saying, but Elsa, she was very loud and very clear. Shouting wasn’t usually something she did, even when upset.“You stupid cow!” Elsa screeches.I make my way out of the office. Neither of them were in my room, they were both standing outside the bedroom door. Lola’s head was low.“How could you, Lola!” Elsa’s hands were on her hips. “How could you do this to me?”“I was just looking out for you.”“This isn’t looking out for me. You know he tried to kill me, right. You saw it happen? You watched him stab me?”Nate, they were arguing about him. What the hell had Lola done?“Elsa, he’s my brother.”“But he isn’t though is he?” Elsa snaps. I felt like I should step in. That it would be the right thing to do. Both were oblivious that I was standing there. But I also wanted to see how Elsa handled herself.“He’s looked out for me my whole life.”“He s
ElsaThere was a hunger inside of me. Nothing like I had ever felt before. An itch that needed to be scratched. A need. A want.He nuzzles in against my neck. His hot breath teasing my skin.His hands are quick. Expertly unhooking my bra under my tee. He lets out a growl as one hand cups my breast and the other forces its way inside my jeans, squeezing my ass..“Rex!” His name leaves my lips in a little gasp as his grey eyes lock with mine. A smile edges over his lips and he quickly presses them against mine.He is eager. Hungry to have me and in one quick movement he rips my tee apart. He briefly glances at the bandage around my middle.“It doesn’t hurt.” I whisper. Not wanting this thing with Rex to stop.“Good!”My bra falls to the floor as he trails his tongue down between my breasts. His hands slowly peel my jeans off.Lifting me off my feet, he pulls my legs up around his waist. Rocking his hips against mine, his hardened length pushes up against me, desperate to be freed.I wan
NateOur numbers had grown. Wolves and Lycans were coming out of hiding to join Finn on his mission.Corina questioned me daily. Challenging me for more information. Her and Finn were desperate to find out if I knew something about Elsa.Sticking to my plan, I tell them nothing. I don’t even tell them that Lola has been in contact with me. Or that I speak to her almost daily.Lola couldn’t explain to me how Elsa was alive. Or how it had taken over a week for the poison to kick in. She should have been dead.But she does explain to me how Elsa’s presence disappeared. That Rex was giving her something to keep her hidden from me.Right now, Finn and Corina were arguing about the next steps, taking my thoughts away from my mate. The women who I was supposed to stand by.“We can’t kill them all.” Finn is yelling. “Some can be used as slaves.”“You really want to give them a chance, there will be an uprising!” Corina snaps back.“I know what I’m doing, Corina. And honestly, I’m getting fed
