Loki:I thought I was dead.The only thing allowing me to live was my will to see her one last time. I could hear her voice, and her touch, softly caressing the wound that was plastered onto my chest."Hippolyta?" I whispered, hoping she could hear me and pull me out of my slumber, but I was only met with silence and a darkness that was slowly devouring my mind.Was this the end?..."Wake up." There was a hard tap on my shoulder. My eyes were weighed down by exhaustion, but I was breathing, and the once heavy feeling in my chest was no longer there.I was feeling as good as ever. Was this a sick joke? Did I just survive the night?"Loki, wake up." There was another tap, but this time one with more force. It was enough to get my eyes to slowly open.It was blurry at first, and I could see dark silhouettes standing near by. I was expecting to wake up in either a shallow grave or a holding cell, but fate brought me here, some where in the pack house."WAKE UP." Damian's harsh cold voice
Loki:This was my last night I would ever be alive. I didn't want to put Hippolyta in this position of saying goodbye again, but I would never regret this decision. Her and I were already unclothed, staring at each other's naked bodies, waiting for one of us to make a move.To my surprise, she reached down towards my shaft.I latched onto her wrist before she could grab it. "What kind of man would I be if I let the lady do all the work?"She smiled as she looked up to me. "Since when did I ever do the work?"I pulled her up, almost lifting her up off the bed."I never did," I whispered softly and kissed her soft plump lips."Circumstance's change."Of course she was right, but I was still the same man, and I would never treat her differently since this was my last night alive. I wanted her to remember me for who I was, and how I always treated her."Doesn't change a damn thing." I threw her down on the bed and swiftly pushed her legs open. She tried to get up, but I immediately pushed
Loki "Red"I didn't sleep much that morning. Hippolyta fell asleep in my arms soon after making love, then I just watched her. I had a couple hours to spend with her until I had to leave, but I spent most of my time staring at her peacefully sleeping, wondering what life would be like if things turned out differently.Would we have our own pups by now? What would our house look like? Would we ever get into arguments over nothing, or just enjoy every second of each other's company?I sighed heavily as I ran my hand across her bare shoulder. All these questions would have to be left unanswered, but it was still nice to fantasize about them. It made my anxieties drift away, imagining our make-believe life together, but now, I had to go.My heart dropped as I carefully got out of the bed.Leaving her room was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I gave her one last kiss before placing her back under the blankets. This would be the last time I would ever touch her skin, the last tim
Loki/Red:Time: 21:00:00Everyone was paired up. Teams of two wasn't ideal, and maybe it didn't make sense, but we didn't have the numbers to have larger groups.As for me, I was running solo.Eric and Aaron were standing by for me to shut the security system down and also to extract Diana. Damian and Adam were in position to scale the building to reach Holden once Eric located him via the camera system.Damian was the only one capable of killing Holden, so leaving the extraction to Eric and Aaron was the only option to ensure Holden was killed. However, we weren't sure if Holden was with Diana in the same room or somewhere else, it would only be determined when Eric hacked into the security system.The rest of the Fenrir warriors were supposed to create a perimeter and block of the entry points to the building to ensure no reinforcements could get through.The plan sounded simple, but it was far from it, and to make things harder, we had to use comm links as not all of us could mind
Damian:Eric and Aaron both went silent ever since he took control over the network. It was quiet, and Adam and I hung like pieces of meat outside, waiting for their signal. I was worried, but at least we could block the signals coming in and out of the building.The large skyscraper like hospital was located in the city center. It got a little messy creating a perimeter, but we got the job done and now it was all up to Eric to assist with locating Diana.Adam had a few of his own pack members accompany Aaron and Eric for the extraction of Diana. I couldn't deny stacking more warriors with them, the more the merrier.I was going to wait a few more minutes until we breached one of the exterior windows, and in the meantime, it was small chit chat with Diana's brother as we swung on rappelling ropes several floors off the ground."When did you realize it was my sister?" Adam asked."The moment I set eyes on her." I was beginning to have a flashback of the day we first met, and I couldn't
Damian:We climbed down three more floors to the twenty first and not a soul was seen. There were countless empty beds, and rooms, clearly evacuated from previous patients. Remnants of patients' belongings littered each floor, telling Adam and I that everyone left in such a rush they never had the time to pick up anything. Purses, bags, clothes, and even food trays were left to turn cold.I wondered if this was all Holden's doing. Did he really evacuate an entire hospital for Diana?"There's something wrong, it's too quiet, and not a word from Eric or Aaron." Adam was losing his patience, kicking a tray full of fruit and soup to splatter across the empty hallway.I followed a rogue cherry that travelled near my foot, then looked backed to Adam who was breathing heavily. "We still need to be sharp, don't lose your cool. We're getting closer, I can smell her.""I can too... I just don't understand why this entire building is empty."Among all the fruit Adam knocked over, there was somet
Damian:Time was going in slow motion.The plunger slowly pushing into her neck by Aaron's finger.The tears falling down her face as she watched me hold myself back in fear.Then, in a split second, it was Adam lunging forward to stop Aaron.As for me, I was frozen. I was too late to call Adam off, and by the time he lunged forward, one of his own men who also occupied the room shot him straight in the chest.Before I could even call out his name his body already hit the floor. There was no blood, but I could hear him struggling to breathe. We were wearing armour, but silver at close range could penetrate into our skin.Diana's eyes lit up as she watched her brother's body twitch for life on the floor."Adam!!" She struggled more in his arms but was too afraid of the syringe still protruding from her neck.My jaw clenched tightly together, "YOU TRAITOROUS BASTARD! YOUR WORSE THAN A ROUGE, YOU'RE A FILTHY RAT!" My hands were shaking as I tried my best to contain my beast who was ready
Diana:He's not dead.He's not deadHE'S NOT DEAD!HE'S NOT DEAD!I kept repeating those words in my head in a panic, but I couldn't sense his heartbeat. He hasn't moved from the floor since he initially collapsed.His life was fading away faster than I could breathe in air.After realizing what happened, I froze, unable to comprehend what was happening.My brother and Damian were both lifeless on the ground. They both came here to save me, and I couldn't do a damn thing to save them.Tears were pouring down my cheeks, and throat was so tight I couldn't bare to breathe again, but I had to do something.We were heading towards the doorway as Aria, Aaron and the others stood silently, watching us make our exit. My arms were tightly wrapped around Loki's neck, and my legs were too weak to walk, but I felt a new power within me, giving me the strength to go back.I looked up to Loki, "Let me say goodbye."He stopped his pace and sighed heavily, "Luna..." He looked back to Damian on the fl
When twenty-three-year-old Konya Evans arrived at the offices of Standard Management Services in Cross Roads, the first man she met was Denver Tracey. She knew at once that he had affected her in some way. “Hi, I’m Konya Evans,” she introduced herself to the tall man. She judged his height to be about six feet, and he was about twenty-eight years of age. She hoped that he wasn’t married. She had to catch herself, such thoughts. He was dark in complexion, but very handsome, she had to admit. He had a low haircut and was clean shaven. It was early, about eight o’clock in the morning and the building seemed empty.“I’m here as a senior accounting clerk and relief telephone operator.”“I’m Denver Tracey and you’re the new employee, Peter told me about.”She nodded. She had done the interview for this job from the middle of January and here she was just landing it in February. “I’m going to get some breakfast at the canteen, won’t you come along?” “I don’t think so, I hardly know anyth
Diana :My heart skipped a beat when I caught sight of Damian standing at the doorway. I wasn't sure how long he was standing there, but his expression was dark, almost unrecognizable. His arms were crossed against his chest, and he was breathing heavily. I'm sure he was upset that I invited Holden in our home without telling him.He gently placed Troy back in his crib and whispered, "I love you, don't forget it."Damian was about to step in the room, but he could read my expression from where I was standing and held back.He trusted me to allow this.Holden sighed heavily as he looked to Troy one last time, "Thank you for giving me a reason to live..."I nodded my head to Holden, then to Damian who looked like he was ready to unleash his beast. He was in shock just as me, but he was more on edge then anything else. Ever since becoming a father he had grown into a paranoid mate and Alpha. No one could come close to the babies without him knowing about it, and for him to stand by the
Diana: My limps tingled from the adrenaline now coursing through my body. My heart raced, my eyes widened, my breathing turned rampant, and my body froze.He was kneeling down where his gravestone was. He looked like an entirely different person. A rough stubble covered his face, his hair was longer, and tied in a low bun. His clothes resembled a traveling vagrant; loose, with large tactical pockets, an army jacket and black biking boots.He looked rough but his heart was still beating strong.I was speechless.He stood up and watched me, eyes trailing me up and down. "Your looking good."His voice caused me to tremble more, almost like I was caught up in a snowstorm.He took a step towards me, his hands were holding steady in the air to show he wasn't a threat, but honestly, I didn't know what to think of him anymore."You died...I killed you." My throat was tightening up, and tears began to fill my eyes. I had no words for him, I couldn't believe it. I let him go, I forgave him, a
Diana "Diana.""Diana.""DIANA!"His screams.It was the same screams from the night before. I couldn't get them out of my head.I gasped for air, but I couldn't breathe.My throat was so tight, and no amount of oxygen could get in no matter how hard I tried."Ah!" My hands were holding my chest steady as I whipped myself straight from my bed. I patted onto my chest frantically. I was breathing, I wasn't paralyzed... I was...I was...I was home..."Di! What's wrong?" Damian bolted up from the covers, blanketing me with his bare arms."Oh..." I looked over to him, his eyes were heavy, but his body was pulsating from the adrenaline, "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to wake you.""No, don't be sorry," He pulled me in tighter, "Why are you so cold? Are you sure your ok? Never be sorry for waking me up."I watched the covered window, "What time is it?" My feet almost reached to the floor, but Damian immediately pulled me back into bed."It's ok Di, they're sleeping. Besides, you need to rest."
Damian:Holden stood silently since his apology. I couldn't respond, hell, I wasn't sure how to reply to it. I was torn. I hated him, but at the same time, my mother always taught me to forgive, but how could I forgive the monster that practically ripped my soul in half?It was an awkward elevator ride that felt like an eternity. Holden stood beside me, and both of us were looking forward at the plain steel door, anxiously waiting for the elevator to arrive to the main floor.He fidgeted his hands anxiously as the numbers ticked down. "Leave the red headed bitch to me, get to Diana first," he muttered under his breath.I annoyingly rolled my eyes in his direction. "I think I know what I'm doing..."He smirked, "Is that how you talk to your pack?""You think this is a good time to be making jokes?!""As my father would say, 'a good joke goes along way before the slaughter'.""Wasn't it you, doing the slaughtering? Jokes come easy when you're the winning side."He scoffed and nodded his
Blackness.Time was intangible.That's all there was.I was wondering in space, aimlessly walking around in nothingness.Was this the afterlife? Was my soul in limbo? Was this really my fate in the end?Her voice was still there, but how could that be? Do I still have a connection to the real world?"I'll love you forever, in this world, and the next. You can rest now, we'll be ok.""We'll be ok.""We'll be ok.""We'll be ok."No, No, No. They won't be ok...They'll never be ok. Diana will never be safe, nor my children as long as those bastards were still breathing. They went against nature. They are not werewolf, but a manifestation of pure evil, allowing jealously, greed, and power to consume their minds. Of course we all can fall victim to our desires, but to turn against your family, and your pack, goes against what a werewolf was.Loyalty was a rarity these days and I was sick and tired of it.The darkness was brief, and also a curious end. I thought this would be different, or m
