What do you think? Cynthia attacked Faith, but she's in denial! How would you react if that happened to you? Thank you for reading xoxo
Faith's hands shake uncontrollably as she wanders up to the door of the vet. Inside nothing has changed; it's the same lobby, same people, same pictures... but something is different. It somehow is not as bright as it was before... well, before. Gulping nervously Faith stumbles towards her desk, feeling like a fragile piece of china and slightly sick. This is it... the place of her nightmares. Surely it was just a dream, but Faith could not shake the feeling that something had changed... nothing was the same now. She was more acute to her surroundings, seeing and hearing things she had never done before. "Ah Faith how're you feeling?" Faith jumps out of her skin as one of the vets, Andi, greets her. "Whoa, you're jumpy aren't you? Well it's not a surprise considering... Anyway, are you sure you're feeling ok? You don't need to talk to anyone? You look pretty pale and tired." Andi frowns. "I... I'm much better. Just in a jumpy mood." Faith mumbles cautiously. "That's good to hear, i
"Ugh, hurry up!" Faith sighed desperately, well aware that she was very late to meet her boyfriend.The frustration and embarrassment of being exceedingly late was really getting to her, a permanent frown stamped on her face causing deep creases to curl between her brows. Her frustrations are all because of an insufferable guy with beautiful green eyes, and the ridiculous traffic. How she wished she could simply snap her fingers and teleport her body to her chosen destination! Although she wasn't sure she would want to go to the bar. She'd never really gone to one before, calling a zoo to have a party in her stomach, and alcohol didn't taste all that pleasant to her. Coffee was her chosen concoction."Oh, this is just ridiculous." She hisses under her breath, holding the steering wheel in a punishing grip.Faith was so close to the pub... yet so far. She was literally seven minutes away according to the satnav, but because of the vexatious traffic, it would probably take her another t
William was busy pacing the length of the vast dining room, a deep frown set into his features. He wondered what was wrong with him. Just last week a vampire spun out of control and attacked a human... Faith. Hunters that seek for the destruction of all vampires are cutting off 80% of the coven's blood supply, trying to starve the vampires out and catch them attacking a human, forcing the government to authorise their destruction. William wasn't sure what to do; the situation was getting pretty dire. He was lucky to be able to cover up the attack, otherwise his family, his friends and his people would all be hunted down until every last one was obliterated.One of the most important rules in order to ensure the survival and secrecy of the vampire race is the law that states any human who finds out about their existence must be killed. Faith should be dead... but William couldn't do it. As soon as he heard her terrified screams something primal broke out from within him, willing to do
Faith's eyes fluttered open, momentarily blinded as they encountered a golden sunbeam shining directly through a small gap in the curtains warming her body. Shutting her eyes again, she lets out a moan as she stretches her long legs and buries herself further into the soft surface, loving the comforting, addictive scent it radiates. She feels light and free, and a small smile graces her lips as she realises how safe she feels. But then she starts to rise from her half-dazed state, and remembers that the window in her bedroom is west facing, meaning she is never awakened by the sun. Her eyes snap open and she pushes her body up, wondering with alarm where she is. She nearly jumps out of her skin when she sees William watching her lazily from an armchair across the room, an adoring look on his face.Faith gasps as the memories from the previous night crash full force back into her memory, leaving her shocked, alarmed and embarrassed all at the same time. Remembering the way she actually
Immediately Faith breaks out into boisterous laughter. What the hell is William talking about? He must be joking, right? Vampires? The boy must be pulling my leg, or be plain crazy! Faith thought to herself. She flushes red and disguises her laugh as a cough when she notices William looking at her seriously though, his lips set into a grim line. Worry swirled within Faith as she wondered if William needed to be checked into the nearest asylum."W-what do you mean? That-that's impossible... you're a human, you must be." Faith stutters.William lets out a harsh chuckle, guarded anger making his eyes three shades darker, glinting menacingly. Faith gulps, leaning back a little."Would a human be able to do this?" He scoffed, before speeding around the room faster then light.Faith stopped breathing.She jumped, letting out a petrified yelp as William stopped right in front of her, a firm hand planted on each arm of the chair she was sat on, towering above her. Faith shrinks back, feeling
Emotionlessly Faith followed the silent guards, secretly wondering whether they were leading her to the executioner's room. But what could she do? She stupidly followed a stupid boy into a stupid dark tunnel, and now she was probably going to die. Faith felt she deserved a big sign pointing to her head reading 'STUPID' and all of its synonyms. William had left her on her own with two strange men probably craving her blood after dropping the bomb of the century on her. She felt as though her rose coloured glasses had been ripped off, and considering her life was no picnic before says a lot. Taking into account William's unnatural speed, she couldn't run from the guards, and anyway how on earth was she going to get out? She was quite literally buried under the surface, and with no windows to jump from or exit signs leading the way; she was stuck in the lion's den.Suddenly the guards came to a halt, the bulkier of the two opening a door leading into a dark room. He switched the light on
"Faith! What's wrong? Please, calm down." William cooed to the broken girl in front of him. She was having a panic attack. Her little human heart was pounding in her chest, and she was gasping for breath through her choked sobs, with a torrential downpour raining upon her cheeks, shaking violently. She hadn't been in his world for more then an hour and a half, yet already she was close to a break down. William inwardly chastised himself for his earlier actions. What had he expected really? He told the girl blood-sucking nightmares were all around her, and then informed her that she was his prisoner for two whole weeks, before proceeding to lock her up alone in her bedroom. "Mi angioletto... please calm down." He pleaded as he held her close to his chest. "N-no..." She choked out, still trying to fight him, although lacking the strength to push him away. As if she were a baby, he rocked her in her arms tenderly, trying to bring her back to peace. He stroked her soft brown curls awa
The next day Faith awoke to a cold, empty bed. She had had many ghastly dreams the previous night, circling around her sister and someone she would rather not mention. It took her eyes a couple of moments to get accustomed to the darkness, before she realised what had awoken her in the first place – a knocking at the door. She knew it couldn't be William – the knock was very dainty and delicate, the work of a woman. Faith recalled William mentioning something about a sister yesterday, and she had no power to stop whoever was coming in anyway, but still she felt nervous, daunted even. This was the first person who she officially knew to be a vampire (besides William) that she would be in contact with."Erm, come... come in." She called out, gulping slightly and sitting up in bed.Almost immediately, the door was flung open, causing Faith to jump, and a young girl came bounding in, sucking on a lollypop. Her shape already had the beginnings of womanhood, yet Faith doubted she was more t
Well it is Thursday again which means I've got a date with the devil, and no I don't mean Ajax, I mean his sisters, both of them. They love me as much as I love them, making Thursday night my favourite of the week.Apparently Giri's brother requires their garage tonight meaning the boys are practicing in Ajax's room. This has created a new problem as Nessie and Miya want to watch their brother, giggling at his very explicit instructions to keep out. I have to keep catching them and taking them back downstairs, which means the girls now view it as a game to try and breach Ajax's room, which is leading to a very tiring night for me. I can't be too firm with them as they aren't my kids, yet they are taking my calm instructions to stay downstairs as a joke. Can you tell I'm stressed? Up and down and up and down and up and down the stairs we have been, chasing the little rascals around and throwing them over my shoulder as they try to make a run for it.I didn't know having kids could be s
I am riding to school with Ajax this morning. Tiger sent me a gloomy message after I got home from Maisie's last night saying she has to go in early, and I didn't want to get up any earlier then I have to. I told Ajax about my little problem and he insisted I ride with him. He finally has a new phone and keeps bugging me with messages. Well, it's not really an annoyance when I'm literally counting the seconds until he messages again. My stomach twists up in knots and a nervous blush coats my cheeks whenever I'm around him. It's like my body just cannot handle his hotness. I've always been quiet, but never shy, especially not around my friends, and I guess Ajax is my friend. Although some part of me doesn't like the idea of that.I hurry out of my house right on time to find him leaning against his insanely cool car, waiting for me with a teasing smirk. His 1970s Chevy Camaro is a smooth inky black in colour with a thick white stripe reaching towards the windscreen on the bonnet. A pic
SEVEN AND A BIT YEARS LATER..."Ah fvck!" I curse, tears beading in my eyes as another wave of pain washes through my stomach.Dammit, that's another pound in the swear jar. Yes, that's right, we officially have a swear jar that travels everywhere with us, trying to curve our bad language habits. It's been going ok, well, ok for me, but Vincent swears like a sailor so I've been making millions off him. Since he met his mate Clarity, he's been much happier and turned into a better man, which is lovely to witness. She is a tiny thing, actually smaller then me so she is the butt of many jokes, but she has an amazing sense of humour, and finds the good in everything, so she doesn't take offence."Ow, ow, ow, ow! When will this be over?" I moan, squeezing Alex's hand so tightly I swear I can feel the bones shift."Its ok baby, just breathe, just breathe." Alex murmurs supportively."Don't tell me what to do! This is all your fault!" I yell, the pain unexplainable."Ok I'm sorry, its fine,
I have never been a fan of air travel, but Alex's private plane does help. I am pretty freaking scared about meeting my Alex's parents, but it is an inevitable event; I am the heir to the throne as I'm mated to their son. According to Alex there is a ball being held in my honour tomorrow night, with some of the most influential and powerful were's and lycans in the world in attendance. I am quite nervous about my debut into society, but Ana who returned to Russia last week has promised me that there is nothing to worry about, and has helped plan the event. I guess if anything, it is pretty flattering having a whole ball dedicated to me. I'm sure I'll be bombarded with introductions and will have to follow royal protocol tomorrow night, but having Alex by my side will give me the strength to persevere through it.As we got off the plane, (Vincent, Lucian and Sapphire travelled with us) a fleet of royal cars and bodyguards were waiting for us, reminding me once again that I'm no longer
*Smut warning - very mature!!*"Woohoo! This party is great!" I yell over the thundering beat to Alex, whom I am currently dancing with, lost in the sea of bodies.It is finally Halloween, and I managed to persuade Alex to come out to Celestrina's party with me. It has been four months since we mated, and everything has been just wonderful. Next week we are leaving to Russia with our pack to meet Alex's parents – aka the freaking King and Queen of all Lycanthropes. I am quite nervous, but I'm sure they'll love me. I will be the sunniest ball of sunshine they have ever met! Celestrina is doing great as a werewolf. It took her a while to adjust, but now she's loving being a part of the superior race. I told her about me being a Lycan, and she was amazed, but really happy when I told her the whole story of my life. She has decided to take a gap year before she heads off to college, to make sure that she has her wolf under control, and has learnt the ways of a were.Her Halloween party is
Seven Years later...Sometimes I wonder how my life would've turned out if I had dug my heels in and never went to Lupine Peak. I don't doubt that I eventually could have changed my dads mind; I can be pretty stubborn at times. It's scary to think about how different my life would be – I wouldn't have met my soulmate, Alex, found loyal friends ready to sacrifice their lives for me, and definitely wouldn't be preparing to be crowned Queen, alongside my Alex, who is also now my husband. We decided on a small ceremony a year after we mated, (mostly just for show for my dad and other human family) at one of Alex's private Islands, this one located in the Maldives. It was absolutely beautiful, and a memory I will never forget. After a few days there, we went to Bora Bora for an Instagram worthy honeymoon, where our backyard was waves of royal blue, soft and gentle, just begging to be swam in. After our few weeks in paradise, we returned to Russia as a united force, ready to begin my Queenl
My eyes are suddenly open though I can't think of why; my heart is pounding, mind empty. It's as if a hypodermic of adrenaline has been emptied into my carotid. I strain into the utter darkness; my breathing rate increased ten fold. There is something inside of me, straining to burst out. Ghostly whispers in my ear urge me to get outside, to be in sight of the moon. At this point, I am panting, and drizzled in sweat. I vaguely hear Alex awake from beside me as I stumble out of the bed and tumble to the floor, my sight blurry. Alex murmurs from behind me as I rush unsteadily to the window, something pulsing, trying to rip out of my chest.Feeling like I can't breathe, I use my remaining strength to smash out of the window, and tumble into the garden below. I feel something snap as I land with a thud on the floor, momentarily stunning me, but I don't register the pain, too preoccupied with whatever is clawing around inside of me. There is a roar before a thud reverberates through the gr
"Oh Phoebe... I'm so happy you guys are together now! So this means you're staying, right?" Tammy asks anxiously as Alex and I part for breath, the group still stood by the door."Hmm... I'll think about it." I wink playfully.In response, Alex's arms tighten possessively around me, and he growls in my ear: "You're mine now kitten. I'm not letting you go."The vibrations from his deep, husky voice throb straight to my core, causing my legs to clench around Alex, and me to bite my bottom lip hard to stop a wanton moan from flying out. Taking a deep breath to control my raging emotions, I turn back to Tammy."I'm joking... of course I'll stay here, where ever Alex goes, I go." I explain whilst sinking my head into Alex's hard chest, comforted by his roaring heartbeat."You've made me the happiest man in the world Phoebe." I hear Alex murmur above me, and then plant a tender kiss on my head."Aww, you two are the cutest! You've made my brother soft." Ana chuckles, interrupting the tender
As we pull up at the mansion, I feel like I'm housing a whole damn zoo in my stomach. I find some relief in the fact that I can't sense Alex here, meaning I have some more time to relax and think about what I'm going to say. A wave of nostalgia washes over me as I take in the beautiful mansion, walking up the white marble steps to the ornate front door. I have lived here, cried here, loved here and almost died here. It most certainly will always be scrapbooked into my memory. As I enter into the grand palace, my dad with his arm wrapped around me, we encounter a shocked Vincent."Phoebe! I thought I could sme... hear you!" He gasps, an easy smile gliding onto his face smooth as butter."Hi Vincent. I've come to see Alex... oh and this is my dad, Ricky." I explain hastily."Oh that's real great Phoebe. He should be back soon. Hi Ricky, would you like me to show you around?" Vincent easily charms my dad."Yea sure, nice to meet you. Take it easy Phoebs, and just call me if you need any
