Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)
I finally got to the morgue and immediately drove into the private garage that Alveric had so kindly opened up for me. I turned the car off and I got out.
“Aye yo Alveric!” I called out and not a minute later, he walked out of the building.
“Ayeeee what is up my man?” We both greeted each other, and I opened the trunk with the bodies inside.
As soon as Alveric saw the bodies his hands flew in the air, and he stepped back in fright.
“Aye yo, man! What the f*ck! Do you know who that is?! I cannot f*ck with this man. This is some next level sh*t right there. I wish I could help you and you know I am here for you whenever, but this, this right here is where I draw the line.” Alveric exclaimed, immediately walking away from the car and going back into the building.
I ran after him to enquire about the situation.
When I got inside, I could see him pacing back and for
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)Isla was moving in with me today. Although I was elated that we were making such a big move, I felt really nervous. I did not tell her about the current relationship I was in with Stephanie, and I had a feeling that I would not. Since I spent the night with her, I was pretty distracted, and I forgot to inform the pack of the big move today. I could not contact Stephanie because we did not have a private link. We were not mates and so if I wanted to contact her, I would have to speak to her through the pack’s link and then everyone would hear what we are discussing.Just the thought of Isla finding out about that relationship was making me more nervous than everything but I had a plan so I kept trying to reassure myself that everything would be okay.We finally got to my house and as Isla parked the car in the garage I got out of the car and opened her door for her. I escorted her inside and began the tour.
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)I was at the pack house looking for Stephanie. It had been a long time since Isla left to go shopping but since she left, I have been searching for Stephanie.“Has anyone seen Stephanie for the day?” I asked no one in particular but loud enough for those around me to hear.I received a series of ‘no’ from everyone. I sighed.I returned to my house and made my way to my room so I could shower. I currently smelled like Dimitri because I slept in his bed last night and that is just not okay.When I got upstairs, I turned the doorknob to my bedroom door and open it. Before I could step inside, I was hit by the scent of cheap perfume and makeup.That cannot be Isla. I thought.I opened the door fully and peered inside. There on my b
Dimitri Zane (P.O.V.)It had been about a week since I reconnected with Alveric, and he had started helping me with this whole prophecy thing. We had no idea where we would even start looking for the witch so instead, we have been taking care of Laila and Orin in an attempt to bring them back to life. I mean, they were already alive, technically, but they were also kind of dead.Alveric explained to me that even without our help with nursing them back to health, Laila and Orin would have come back to life regardless. The process would just take a lot longer as their body would have to fight external forces and search for ways to rejuvenate itself; then, of course, there is the magical aspect of it. It is uncertain whether or not they would come back as fairies. It is possible for them to come back as mere humans or even creatures against nature.No one said this had to be easy and it has been proven to be quite difficult since this entire ordeal
Alveric Valentine (P.O.V.) As I ended the call with Dimitri, I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand that I tore out from the book. The prophecy was coming to pass just as predicted and it is not as Dimitri thinks it is. He is a part of the prophecy, and he is not on the good side of things. I do not know if his ill intentions have already been sought out, but I had to ensure that he was kept out of the loop about what the prophecy said about him.Basically, the prophecy states that a man will be born to court the Moon Goddess to her victory, but this man will fall in love with her. For the Gods have created her in the likeness of perfection she would always be desired but shall not desire. He who desires the Goddess shall grovel at her feet and meet her every wish and demand, but he who does not and is rejected shall accept his fate. The man who is to court the Goddess to her victory shall never desire her, but if he who does come
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)“I was just thinking about the pack and my mate.” I said, sighing heavily because I was honestly frustrated.“What about her?” She asked as she sat up and scooted closer to me on the bed.She placed her hand on my lap and slowly began to drag it higher up onto my thighs so that the tips of her fingers were slightly grazing my crotch.“I am just really conflicted with her. I want to have her as my mate, but I do not think I am ready to settle down with just one girl. On one hand she can be a really good asset to the pack, but on the other hand, if I am not faithful to her, she might leave me.” I bowed my head in defeat and rubbed my face in frustration.“I understand how you feel. When I met my mate, I instantly rejected him because he turned out
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)It has been a week since I moved in with Alessandro. I do not have any complaints as his pack was more than welcoming. I could tell they were not used to being heard and being given the opportunity to share their concerns about their wants and needs because when I showed up and Alessandro began to make adjustments where I was being treated with respect and as if I had a say about what happens in the pack, people started coming forward with what they wanted. At first, I felt as though the members of his pack were only being nice to me because they wanted things that they wanted to be done in the pack that would have been more than rewarding to them, however, there came a moment in time where I had to explain to them, while keeping some form of confidentiality, of course, that they should not get their hopes up because while I may adhere to their concerns and listen, there is not much that I could do because I was not apart of the pack
Alessandro Petrov (P.O.V.)Isla chuckled on the phone, and it went silent on her end for a bit.I took a deep breath and my eye wandered over to Stephanie who was currently sprawled out butt naked on my desk.“Well, I guess I will see you later. Dress pretty.” I joked and chuckled before we both exchanged goodbyes and I ended the call.“Way to go babe. Look at you, being the mate of the year.” Stephanie teased and got off the desk and wrapped her arms around my neck as she pecked me on my lips.“Hardy ha ha, now where should I take her? I want to be romantic, but I do not have one romantic bone in my body. I do not think I have ever taken a girl out on a date.” I scratched my head awkwardly and began picking up my clothes from the floor.Stephanie also began to put her clothes back on.“I mean, if she really loved you, she should not mind where you are taking her but should ra
Stephanie Wilde (P.O.V.)I watched as he walked out of the office, and I could not help but feel a pang of jealousy. My stomach was in knots, and I wanted to lock myself in a dark room and cry my eyes out. How could he not see that I would do anything for him? I was willing to put my feelings aside for him, just so he could have the best of both worlds. Every time we made love, I would enjoy all of him and be grateful for the moment and the time he chose to spend with me, but then when the bliss is over, I think to myself that after all of this, he will be going home to his mate.We have not met yet and honestly; I was anticipating the moment that we do. Ever since that night when she gruesomely murdered my best friend, I promised myself that I would seek vengeance for her. I was not certain if Alessandro remembered anything about that night, but I did not mention to him that she had seen my face. I mean she was pretty out of it after we gave her a sho
Hunter(P.O.V.)When we finally reach the Clan, it was already past midnight. The journey was peaceful; my mate had fallen asleep on my back. My mom has also remained unconscious, but the soft breaths I heard on the way confirmed that she is been sleeping. Dad mind linked everyone to stay inside, saying that we retrieved their Queen, but she is sleeping so they can see her after she wakes up. I see Theo and Liam get out of the house to help us with our mates.The rest of the guys leave to their respective houses, seeing that everything's fine now. Theo helps get Skye off my back, so I can shift, while Liam helps mom. Dad shifts and we carry our mates inside. Skye wakes up in my arms with a start, gasping in shock when she sees me. I feel her body tense, as she glances around the hallway."Shh, little mate, you are okay. I am taking you to my room so you can rest. Well, after we get you clean." I smile lovingly at her, not showing her how pi
TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER MENTIONS R**E AND IN**ST. PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE SUBJECT!!!!Hunter(P.O.V.)Witha thundering growl my dad jumps on the boulders blocking the entranceand starts digging them out with his paws. He is desperate to get to hismate and soon the other guys join him.I glance at the unconsciousgirl in my arms then carefully carry her away from the mayhem.Theamount of bruises on her body is concerning, but the only thing thatcatches my dark side's attention is the smell of male's seed coming from herbody. I notice a trail of dried white substance on her thighs,confirming my fears. The blood between her legs tells me she was forced.I will kill the fucker who did this to her.I carefully lay mymate by the tree then take my shirt off and put it on her. She is onlywrapped
Skye (P.O.V.)No, not again. Please God no.I am so tired and fed up of going through this. How can a father do this to their own child?It is disgusting.I never understood why some people would willingly have children only to mistreat them later on in life. In my opinion, it takes a different type of person to do something like this to their own flesh and blood. To the persons who have justified my father's actions in the past by telling me that he was depressed and how much he missed my mother, go fuck yourself. People lose their loved ones all the time. Not because I may look like my mother means that I am her or gives him any right to violate me.He is a disgusting man, and he deserves to die. I really hope he does.And I know it is said that you should not wish bad upon others or wish death upon others because karma will get you, but I do not care. At least if I die, I will not have to endure this lifelong pain and suf
Trigger Warning: This chapter mentions r*pe and inc*st.Skye(P.O.V.)I tried to separate my mind from what was actually happening to me in this very moment. I tried to zone out like usually would on any other given day. When it happened the first time, I was traumatized. When it happened the second time I was furious...but when it continued to happen after time and time again of trying to escape, I knew that this would simply become my new life. I was no longer sad, or depressed. I was no longer traumatized - okay maybe this is the definition of trauma but I felt numb.I was finally numb to the pain and betrayal I felt all this time but what was so different this time.As much as I wanted to not be able to think or feel, I could no longer control it. Is my brain really trying to get me to confront my problems now?If so, then it really has some messed up timing.Of all the things I should b
Twenty years later….Hunter (P.O.V.)"Hunter!"I feel fingers poking my cheek, but I try to ignore them.If that mystery person knows what is good for them, then they would not be trying to wake me up from my very relaxing slumber. As I tried to ignore the intruder from waking me up, I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to drift back into the dream I was just having. It was fresh in my mind and though the very sweet slumber that I was having felt nearby, as the little nuisance continued to bother me, I could feel it drifting further away from me.Great, now I am about to be grumpy for the rest of the day. I wanted to wake up fully to push the assailant away and maybe lock my goddamn bedroom door which I really thought I did do last night, but I know that if I force my tiresome body off this bed right now, I will be forced to actually murder someone today and I
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I do not know what I was expecting but it was not this. Things were really bad at the clan and I could have sensed it when as soon as I got to the borderline and I think everyone felt it. The air felt tense and quiet and as soon as we got to Ambrosius's land I can feel everyone's stress and worry.Call it motherly instincts I guess.I sort of felt bad for them. Though, the situation was kind of disappointing. Ambrosius should have put his clan first. After all, he would not have great strength and power without them or their loyalty to him. However, that was not the case. He neglected his duties as an alpha and instead of thinking about the clan's needs, he got selfish and simply found a Queen replacement. A clan does not need a Queen unless she is capable of uplifting the alpha and the clan. Had he thought about this and the needs of his people, he would not have taken that skank in.What is even worse is that s
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I do not think that I can completely hide the fact that the thought of seeing Ambrosius again is making my heart race a million miles per minute. Since I left the clan and vowed to never go back since everything had happened, I got busy and never gave Ambrosius a second thought. I kept my mind on building a clan of my own and finding something secure and stable for myself. Something that I can call my own.Something that could not be taken away from me without a fight. A lot of fighting.But now as I prepare myself and his son to return to his clan for a visit, I could not help but think about how things could have been different. Had I not left the clan, how would have my life turned out.I mean I left and made a name for myself. I got stronger than ever and even built a family of my own. Loyal friends turned to family.I guess this is another case of 'everything happening for a reason.'I needed t
Shane (P.O.V.)It has been five years since our Queen left the clan and I can honestly say that it is like she left with the heart of it. The clan has never been the same since she left and it had everything to do with the alpha. Our leader, nature's chosen leader, has fallen since that God awful day Queen walked out on us. The clan felt betrayed to some point when she left because it was like watching a mother figure give up on you and even though we knew it had something to do with what the Alpha did, despite the fact that it angered all of us, we kind of had no choice but to side with him regardless.That is unless we wanted to choose to go rogue and then join her clan of Deads. Which is something that we will never do of course. Part of being in a clan is being loyal no matter what. In instances where the alpha of that clan does not respect their clan members, practices a dictatorship type of leadership, or promotes fear instead of respect for obed
Five years later...Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)I think that I have been doing well on my own since I left Ambrosius. Or at least that is what I have trained myself to believe, I do not need him or the Clan. I have been alone all of my life. Betrayal, loneliness, and pain is all I know, and it has become something that I have accepted. It is a part of me. It made me the strong woman that I am today. So much so that I now give orders instead of taking them and following them.This is nothing new.It was bound to happen eventually you know. This is who I am. This is what I had been trained all of those years to become.A Queen.A monster.How could anyone love someone like me. At this point it is kind of impossible. At least that is how I feel. It is how I
