Following the last of the enemies I come to realise that they knew I was here, but they had no idea where. They've searched high and low for me with no luck, not even a glance. Rumours have spread around like wild fire through the werewolf community, some even mention the beginning of the war.Everything seemed calm for a long time after, but I knew different. Angel knew different hence why he understood me leaving, deep down he knew I didn't have a choice. Not if its his life in danger, by being apart I realised that we're unhappy. We're lost. Possibly broken.But we're both safe. I know he'd do the same for me if he had to choose, I miss him every moment of every day but this is my life now.Motherless. Fatherless. Sisterless. Brotherless. Childless. And now..Mateless.Everything in my life gets taken from me one way or another. But this time..I had the choice to save the one I love and I took it.Rumours of the hunters spread around camp fires, some say we died that day. Some say w
Lana's POVOpening my eyes I looked around, I couldn't smell my surroundings. I couldn't see properly.What's happening?'Stelah?'No reply.I searched for other halves only to feel emptiness. My vampire was gone. My demon was gone.This was my punishment for not letting Chloe die.I quickly realised I couldn't move. At all.The door flung open and I knew who it was but I couldn't open my eyes and face him, I was useless either way."Lana" he breathed appearing at my side. I felt angry that I couldn't move. But I knew not to pity myself, one day the moon would forgive me but that day could be in thousands of years.The doctors told me I still had control of my speech, I could talk and move my head a little. I could smile, blink, breath.I just simply couldn't move.The moons punishment was to teach me that even though I could do things as a human would I couldn't act on it, she wanted me to know I was below her and I couldn't change that."Can you..can you move?" He asked softly, sitt
I blinked slowly and sat up on the bed, my body felt weaker as I haven't been eating properly or training.I was stiff but with some exercise I would be as good as new.The happiness that I felt at being able to finally move almost made me cry, I wanted to scream but this time with joy. I've never been so relieved, not even when I escaped the hunters."Lana" angel breathed catching my attention. My eyes snapped to him in a flash, he was watching me move with awe at the happiness in my heart and on my face.I stood from the bed carefully and stretched out my body, I smiled brightly at angel who returned my happiness."You did it" I shook my head."No, you did it" I told him before using my inhuman speed and pushing him against the wall, my lips on his moving in perfect sync. His arms pulled me closer and he let out a grunt of approval, I was loving his touch. He held me tightly, afraid I would suddenly disappear but I didn't mind.I suddenly laughed and broke the kiss pulling my head b
"Stay here" I ordered him, as quick as I finished speaking I was gone. I tracked the scent, it lead through the mansion and into angels office.How did he not smell or sense this person? A stranger?A man in a long leather jacket stood with his back to me. He was huge, bigger than angel. His hair was braided and long, his skin was dark but I couldn't see much of him."The enemy's seek something, something that you could give them. It is the only way to stop this war" he spoke, his voice was menacing and deep. It held an accent that seemed old, from a different time.I pulled the gun from under the nearby cabinet silently, it was loaded with enough poison to wipe out half of the earths population. At one point I knew it'd come in handy."Why are you here?" My voice was like silk, yet spilling with maliciousness.He turned to me. His eyes caught my attention as one was bright red, the other was a vibrant gold. I didn't let it faze me too much and I aimed the gun at his left shoulder. A
"Welcome home, Aphrodisia" Dominik grinned softly. I was flabbergasted, for the first time in my life someone had managed to full on surprise me.My surprise turned to anger and I pulled the trigger on the gun, his eyes widened. He was about to move. But it was too late, the bullet hit his left knee. The poison instantly started to spread."Expect the unexpected. You can leave now" I tell him coldly. He dug his fingers into his knee looking me straight in the eyes, however it didn't surprise me when he simply pulled the bullet out and dropped it on the desk."That was uncalled for. Now..where will I be sleeping?" He asked snapping his fingers, two suitcases appeared at the side of him."I have one more question" I told him steeping closer. He looked down at me with an eyebrow raised."Why can't I have children?" I tilt my head narrowing my eyes up at his huge form. He sighed after a few moments as he realised I wasn't giving in."You and his kind aren't compatible. Its impossible for
Opening the bathroom door with a towel wrapped around me I headed into the closet. Even after all this time all my belongings were still here, freshly cleaned.Sliding on black lace panties and a matching bra I look through the clothes hung up. since I'm always in jeans I might as well give him a suprise of his own.Picking my outfit I pull it on, then simply brush my hair and leave it down. Adding some flat black boots I leave the room.Half way down the stairs I see angel coming up them, his eyes were their icy blue that made my heart skip a beat every time I saw them.Doing what any good person would do, I threw myself through the air at him. He seemed unfazed and for a slight second I thought I'd hit the ground. But when his arms caught me easily with swiftness only I or himself could pull of I began to grin."Are you trying to kill me?" He muttered scowling but I could feel his amusement. Laughing I slapped his cheek lightly."Nope. Just making sure your always aware" I replied,
"Is this..are they, mine?" I whispered with wide eyes, out of all the things I told him I never expected this to be the one he remembered."I have another suprise for you but yes, they're all yours" he seemed weary about my reaction but I was honestly shocked. I didn't know whether to cry or hug him to death."Angel this is..why would you do this for me? I love it but..its too much, I can never repay you" I admitted to him softly. I didn't want to hurt his feelings and make him think I was rejecting his gift because I wasn't. I didn't money, a long time ago I had enough to live but being off the radar I lost it all."I don't want anything in return, and it's not too much. You deserve to be happy and this was on your bucket list" he told me shrugging."But it's t- ""I made you a promise many years ago to complete everything on that list. Your my mate and that's just how it is. Your mine to cherish, to love and to provide for, so let me" he cut me off, I didn't know what to say. I want
"Angel?" I sat up through the darkness rubbing my eyes, my voice hoarse from being half asleep. The door shut quietly."I didn't mean to wake you" he muttered shuffling around, as my vision cleared I could see him perfectly as he stripped down. My body heated up making my thighs clench, I averted my gaze knowing now wasn't the time."You can look baby, it's nothing you haven't seen before" he winked at my through the darkness, his husky chuckle bouncing around the room. It was strange for him to call me 'baby' or any other pet name, I was lana normally."I don't think our guests would appreciate the noise" I teased him, his face fell as he glanced around."I knew I should have kept them downstairs" he grumbled climbing into the bed beside me. He snaked his arms around me pulling me into his chest, I cuddled into him getting comfy."I love you" he told me softly as I tucked my head into his chest. My heart swelled and sped up like every time he said those three words. His touch brought
"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
