Dakota Fern's POV:Slamming her car door forcefully causes her car to shake. Not bothering to apologize, I storm inside the house with a glare firmly placed on my face.Slamming his office door open, It bangs against the wall. He winces and stands up from his desk, his eyes black so I know he's watching me."How could you?" I asked quietly, my voice sounding hurt. I trusted him.He winces again, pain flashing in his eyes before he walks toward me."I'm sor-""You're sorry? Do you realise how many times you've said that since I met you? It's starting to lose meaning""Let me e-""Let you explain? No. I trusted you Steel, I trusted you! I actually thought that maybe you weren't so bad. Maybe we could have a future. How am I supposed to trust you when you went behind my back! It was for your ears only Steel" I practically shout with rage. I'm not even thinking straight so I'm hoping I don't say something to hurt him.He winces every time I call him Steel, I've only called him Angel since
Dakota Fern's POV:Thinking quickly, I take off across the beach, ignoring the shouts of panic behind me. If anyone can calm him down it'll be me. Hopefully he will realise who I am.Sprinting into the forest, I don't slow down and instead speed up. My legs burn from the speed I'm using, I've never ran this fast before. The forest surrounding me is a blur, my own heart thumping and blood rushing is all I can hear.Five minutes later, I feel tingles spread across my body, he's close. Keeping my speed, I come to regret that decision as I slam into a brick wall. My body flies backwards, twisting like a rag doll. My body hits a tree causing pain to erupt through my back before I hit the floor.Jumping up after a second, I focus on the giant wolf in front of me.His head down, eyes narrowed, teeth out threateningly, and tense.I show no fear of him and look him in the eyes with softness on my features."It's ok, it's just me" I whisper calmly and slowly walk towards him with my palm out.H
Mike's POV:Her brother never mentioned this. She's not just any ordinary human/ hunter. No wonder she learnt so fast, no wonder she's feared by most of our large group of hunters.no wonder her brother has a soft spot for her.Angel's POV:She's not human. My wolf whines, he whimpers in pain at the fact she lied to him.Her speed, her hearing, her anger issues, her dominence, her flexibility, everything. It all makes sense now.Dakota Lana Fern's POV:Clenching my fists, I use all my willpower to fight the red and black dots that start to cloud my vision. Fear spikes my chest making me panic slightly,my throat closing up.'Protect ours' a voice whisper echoes in the back of my mind. Her voice like silk yet deadly at the same time. She's the beauty, and she's the beast.'You'll hurt the ones I care for' l whisper back, scared.'We feel the same, she whispers quietly. I feel my control slipping from my fingers.Angel's POV:Shifting my eyes black, I watch as her hair color lightens, h
Dakotas pov'Please don't' l practically beg.'He attacked us. Our mate attacked us' she whispers completelyupset.My head throbs painfully like it has for seven days. That's right, he didn't even try to find us, I thought I meant more to him than someone he'd just give up on.I've barely slept a wink, my skin is now a sickly pale white. When I turned and left I returned to my old home in the human city.'Stop it! He doesn't fucking want us stelah! Get over it!'I snap nastily. She instantly backs away into me, pain filtering into our bond.Great, I upset her.Sighing I turn the taps off before quickly stripping down naked. Climbing in the tub I sigh, closing my eyes as the hot water surrounds me. I miss his smirk, his eyes, his smile, his voice ,.. I miss him. A lot.Angels povSilently pick locking the door I smirk to myself silently, try and run now. Silently walking through the house I curse silently in my head as the stairs groan quietly under my weight.Freezing I hear no movement
Dakota's POVHe tenses, sighing "no" he murmurs looking away from me. Rejection hits me like a slap to the face, only more painful.Forcing a smile I nod and hide my pain hoping he won't see through my act. Moving to the other end of the tub I lean back, closing my eyes peacefully.I squeal as I'm pulled by my ankles, quickly taking a breath of air before I am dragged under the water.Sitting up seconds later I wipe my eyes before opening them with a frown. Within the blink of an eye, lips are placed over mine, melting immediately into the kiss. I wrap my arms around him, not caring that we're both naked as he pulls me closer. Pleasure sizzles in my veins, my heart pumping loudly in my ears."Angel... " I murmur, pulling away slightly breathless. His hands tighten around my waist causing me to hold back a moan as our bodies rubbed together. He leans forwards kissing me again, he pulls away too soon only to plant small feathery kisses down my chin.I tilt my head to the right to give h
Angel's POV:"Alpha" a pack member says looking conflicted, making me smirk slightly.She shakes her head with a vicious glint in her eyes, not enough to say she'll hurt him but enough to scare him."Not out here" her voice deadly icy, his face fills with fear as he flinches.She tackles him quickly before Punching him in the head, only hard enough to knock him out. She takes his tag before tying it around her ankle, along with a few others.Chuckling, I push her before she can react, she squeals as she flies forwards hitting the water. I smirk, crossing my arms as she resurfaces with an annoyed look. She tries to pull herself out of the water before huffing when she can't due to her clothes weighing her down."Please" she begs pouting with her hands out, sighing. I lean down and grab her hands.She laughs, making me confused before I'm yanked towards her, cold water surrounds me instantly. Breaking up to the surface I hear her laughing, using my wolf's eyesight I watch as her eye
Angel's POV"What would you like?" I ask, gesturing towards the open pantry.She flashes me a small grin. It doesn't meet her eyes like normally which worries me."Anythings good" she shrugs, frowning. I nod and start to grab the ingredients I need. How the hell did she survive with her cooking skills?...Grabbing our plates of food with a knife and fork I place hers in front of her taking note of her distracted face."Thanks" she says, snapping out of her thoughts as her stomach growls. Sitting opposite her we eat in silence, why does she look so distracted? As soon as we finish I ask her exactly that."What do you mean?" She says frowning slightly, her tone guarded for no reason.Lana's POV"You keep spacing out" he says, his face creasing with concern. My eyes shift down to my now empty plate not being able to withhold his gaze without telling him."So where are we going?" I ask, ignoring his earlier question.He narrows his eyes "you'll see, and when we come back I want the truth
"Oh" I whisper, biting my lip with a blush on my face, looking up at him through my dark lashes."I didn't hurt you did I?" He asks with a slight frown coating his face, his eyes flashing dangerously. He's probably thinking back to when we met."No" I say reassuringly, liar liar pants on fire.His eyebrow raises "you can't lie to me lana" rolling my eyes I shift my position slightly to get more comfy, ignoring his lustful growl."It's bearable" I say reassuringly, i'll probably be more sore tomorrow. He sighs heavily "I should have been more careful with you" he mutters, his black eyes scanning my face."Let your wolf rest Angel" I say, smiling softly at him.He frowns "I-"" Angel" I say in a warning voice, he's been using his wolf's eyesight all day now and it's not good for either of them."Fine" he growls before his eyes lighten to their electric ocean blue. Reaching up I push his soft hair away from his eyes so I can see them clearly."You really are beautiful you know" I say i
"Marry me." The words made me jolt back from him in shock, my mouth dropping open as I stare at him wide eyed. His face was serious, not showing the slightest bit of joking around. His eyes a dark inky black, watching my reaction to his question. He said it as if it was the easiest thing he's ever asked. Most females would want romance, and petals and dinner, in a place that was both beautiful and somewhere they share memories. But I'm glad he didn't do any of that for me, he knows I'm not the type of woman for all that crap. Angel is everything, he's everyone's type I guess, but he chose me. And he's choosing me again. "Marry you?" I repeat quietly, my voice almost mute it was that soft. I almost choked the words out once I found my voice. "Say yes." He tells me with a soft grin, the bright sparkle of amusement and hope almost blinding me. I look into his black eyes, and without meaning to I look into his current thoughts, the memories that he keeps sacred to him. His memories sho
Panting heavily I weakly place my hands into the dirt, letting out a small cry of pain as I push all my weight into my arms as I slowly rise from the floor. Blood drips from my face and body, just as much mine as it is his. I could feel the agony in my body, he's just as strong as I had assumed. I think I surprised him though, because he's equally as fucked up as me if not more.But as I slowly and painfully dragged my body to my feet even swaying and dizzy, I could feel myself begin to heal at a rate that shouldn't be normal to any supernatural creature. My body was tired physically, but the agony was slowly becoming less and less by the slow torturous seconds that passed. I could feel my broken ribs form back into place as the bones healed at a rapid pace, taking barely a minute for my bones to be healed. It was the shattered rib puncturing my lung that had me in agony, but now that's it's almost healed I knew I could take him."I only...want your power...if you give it to me willin
As the guards came flooding out of the castle and into the streets of the dark city, they took out the swords in preparation for a fight. They create a wall that heavily guards the castles entrances, rows upon rows of vampires falling behind one another. Shielding the king and all the upper class leeches.Do they honestly think they're going to stop me?I smile wickedly at the vampire men, cracking my neck both sides to release the built up pressure. Without counting properly there's around 80 soldiers. The rest will be guarding the king and the whore women inside.Reaching up slowly to keep the men from attacking me, I untie the black robe from my body, allowing it to fall to the dirt beneath me pooling with the lashing rain. The only light available was the cracking lightening that filled the dark sky.The men's eyes immediately drop to my body with little resistance, the vampire bloodlust inside them taking over. They're unable to fight the urge of becoming entranced by a woman's f
The dark clouds thunder above us, brightening in a quick flash as lightening strikes nearby. The wind is strong, lashing at us, Mother Nature not at all pleased for the blood she is about to soak up.+I didn't give the soldiers a pep talk. Aside from the low whispers on our way here nobody spoke, some fearing the vampire kingdom as many do. Everyone that threatens the vampires never succeed, they never get past the walls. But I've been beyond those walls, I trained with those vampires, I saw their weaknesses, their strengths, the way they fight and the way they think. They're stronger than ever don't get me wrong, they're prepared for me, but they underestimate me. They don't expect me to be stronger. They don't expect me to have an army of unsullied soldiers gifted to me from the moon mother. They don't expect me to have 13 pure blood Lycans. They don't expect me to have the Bain bloodline at my side, the strongest lycans to ever exist.The castle is lit up as the windows and doors a
"...nobody escapes. Is everyone clear on the arrangement?" I glance into the eyes of the most worthy men, those who will lead the separate groups to each stationed location.My question is answered in nods as their eyes go over the map drawn into the mud. My brothers stand behind me as they listen, never commenting as they know I have a better map of the castle than anyone. I'm the only person to ever escape."You have 6 hours to prepare your chosen warriors, if you are not ready, you will die. It's that simple." I tell them with a hard and meaningful tone. From the brief glances I received from a few of the Purebloods I know they realise I'm true to my word, always. If they're not ready in 6 hours, there won't be any rescue missions. This is it, right here, right now."Commander, with all respect, wouldn't it be easier to attack in the day and draw them out? The sun will weaken them" Knights question made sense of course, it was a very logical tactic. However, the made king isn't stu
"Micheal, you owe me this. Can I count on you?" I ask him, already knowing that he will go through with it.As I expected he nods his head. Chloe will be arriving tonight, Angel is going to need her support. Micheal has the hardest job, he's got to lie to not only the most ruthless Alpha, but also his own mate. Let's just hope that he's good at not telling the truth."Always. I'm forever in your debt for what you did for me and Chloe" he sincerely says.I'm done playing games. I've a thousand lives. And if my time is over in doing this, then so be it. Angel will live, I just won't be with him. The king wants all of me, and all of my power, that's exactly what he's going to get."People are going to die, hundreds, maybe thousands. But you do whatever you have to, to ensure that Angel isn't one of those people" I order giving him a stern look.He just nods his head. "Why does this sound like you're saying goodbye?" He asks me, his voice soft.I just offer him a small smile. He gives me
Sitting up sleepily I look towards the couch where angel had slept last night. I frowned when I saw that he wasn't their, but shrugged it off figuring he's woke early.With the palms of my hands I rub my face, trying to get feeling back in it. Strange enough I felt stiffness around my eyes, and crusted liquid.What the hell?Last night I had the strangest dream, I could have sworn that angel was in the bed with me. Holding me. And he said something, but I don't remember.If it was important I would have remembered, so I was probably imagining him with me.Climbing from the bed I head into the Barholm to brush my teeth and show. Once I was clean and feeling refreshed, I dried myself and got dressed.Tonight I leave. The king has to be stopped. He's looking for me, it'll be easier for me to get to him than anyone else. If a stranger showed up like I'm going to, they'd be killed. He would know that they mean to kill him, so his soldiers will take care of the person.Heading downstairs to
"Stop!""Get off me!""Let go!"I scream at him to stop, my ribs throbbing as he continued assaulting me. His lips pulled into a boyish grin as he tickles my sides, my body wriggling to get away from him. But he only holds me down.My laughter had begun to fade, and I really did want him to stop. So I do the only thing I could do at this point. Reaching across the edge of the bed I grasp the lamp on the bed side table. And you know what I did? I smashed it over his head.He freezes above me, his face changing to one of stone. His eyes flashing pitch black. His muscled toned body tense. I could sense the anger in his Lycan, he wanted to hurt me like I have him. But at the same time he didn't want to hurt me because I am his.Laughing loudly I quickly shove him to the side, and jump to my feet on the bed. Looking down at him as I cross my arms and arch one eyebrow."I told you to stop" I defend myself calmly.He glares at me with his black eyes. He gets to his knees and wraps his huge m
Tall skinny trees, usually brown, but under the night sky they only appear as black silhouettes. The sky above that broke through the thin tall trees was grey, almost black. The stars twinkling like a million little lights.There's a story told to children about the stars in some packs. They say the eyes of the ancients watch down on their children, so even though they've been forgotten, they haven't forgotten us.The cold wind lapped at my freezing flesh. My stomach rumbled with hunger.The tears on my face had dried a long time ago. I knew that I had to go home, Angel will be worried sick. But the air of being alone gave me time to think, to finally be at peace with my mind. With this new technique I've figured out that I think a lot better when I'm in a peaceful environment.I've figured out a way to take the king down. But I have to do it alone. Angel will never go for it, he'll instantly refuse. My brothers won't do It either. Which I don't mind because this is my fight. And I n
