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
"What exactly did she say?" I was curious. The pack were currently waiting outside for us, worried about what we might possibly want."Nothing worth repeating" it was clear she was still seething. Leaving it at that I opened the door, taking lanas blood covered hand in mine I pulled her up onto the stage so everyone had a clear view of us.Before I could even get a word in Lana jumped straight to the point, I shook my head amused at her impatience."I'm going to give it to you all straight. I wear the Alphas mark, I share his bed and anything else I wish because I have the right to" she glared at each and every female. They seemed to know what she was getting at and lowered their gaze.Clever girls."if any of you would like to challenge my status then feel free, I'll fight you all at once. But when your dead don't go crying to the moon wishing you could change what you did. So here is my warning; my mate will never be yours, don't think about him, don't watch him when you think no on
"Will it work? What about Alpha Bain? Will he agree?" One of the young alphas questioned. It was obvious they feared possibly going against him but that wasn't about to happen so they had no reason to be scared."He'll agree. Just make sure your there on time" I told them sternly.They nodded instantly knowing this plan was our only option if we all wished to walk out of this alive."Will it hurt?" One asked hesitantly. One of the new ones.I looked directly at him as I spoke so he knew I wasn't joking."Like someone is slowly tearing apart your insides, and even that isn't a fraction of the real thing" he winced and looked away.Turning towards the door I exit the meeting room.Despite angel blanking me at the moment I knew I had to tell him the plan, he couldn't be left in the dark thinking we were all going to die.His immature behaviour was getting on my nerves, I could handle the angry him, I could handle the upset him, I could handle the worst of him. But this, I couldn't handle
24 hours laterBlinking I sat up rubbing my eyes tiredly. The blanket falling into my lap as i did."Good morning sleepy head" I froze at the voice, slowly lifting my eyes to meet the deep violet ones."Why are you here?" I asked bluntly. All respect for her as gone out of the window.She told me to be strong. To trust angel. But he hit me. He hurt me and he broke my heart."Sweetie, you mustn't act like your fine, I can feel your pain as if it is my own" she smiled softly, no pity in her eyes. Only love, light and happiness."But it's not! Is it!?" I snapped jumping from the bed, ripping the iv from my arm."How dare you come here acting like you know me! I'm in the middle of a fucking war and you think I'm worried about a little heartbreak!" I snapped again, fuming with anger.She looked at me with calculating eyes, assessing me with concern."You always seem to amaze and surprise me, Aphrodisia" she smiled, so kind and pure."Dominik told me am I bound to you, as your finest warrio
Silence fell in the kitchen as I stepped into view.After I had showered and got dressed, I headed downstairs for some breakfast. although now I'm here I'm starting to rethink my decision.The men gave me looks of pity, even though the moon had healed me after sending me to sleep last night.I couldn't help but take note that everyone is here, everyone except angel. I couldn't feel our bond, seeing as I'm blocking him completely."Last night..forget about it" I told them coldly.I should've asked the moon goddess to make them forget.One of the older alphas scoffed."That man is a disgrace. He purposely hit a woman, his mate to be exact. He does not deserve the title he holds, I, for one think we should take this matter to the council" he said, looking at the other alphas who nod in agreement.Marcus seemed conflicted. I knew his loyalty is with me and angel, he couldn't decide. And he wouldn't."Have you ever experienced bloodlust?" I asked them coldly. I didn't appreciate them tryin
"I don't know that it won't happen again. But if and when it does, I'll rip you a new one. I promise" I smiled lightly, trying to lighten his dark hateful mood."This isn't a fucking joke! I. HIT. YOU" he said the words slowly, putting more force behind the last few words."What do you want me to say?" I whispered banging my head on the wall with frustration."I want you to scream at me. Or yell. Or hit me back. I want you to have a reaction that I can understand! I want you..I..I want you to see me, as I see myself" he lowered his voice, his eyes remained his icy blue with flecks of silver."You want me to yell? Ok. You want me to hit you? I'll do it. But if you think for one second that I'll stop loving you and leave,..then your not the man that has hunted me for 600 years simply because he couldn't live without me" I snapped at him.He shut his eyes and growled deeply, it shook his body and the floor we stood on."I can't keep hurting you, I won't keep hu-""STOP IT!" I snapped lou
"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
