Dakota's pov
"I don't want you and your not leaving" he spits angrily before storming out.
Pain erupts in my chest, my eyes watering slightly.
Breathing deeply I jump slightly when chloe moves. I forgot she was here.
She rubs my back "I know my brother ok, if he didn't want you he'd never have brought you here" she says softly.
I look at her seeing as we're the same height.
'But why would he say that if he didn't mean it?" I ask quietly. My tough facade quickly dissappearing.
She sighs "have you noticed how his eyes don't focus on people, or how he seems to hear things a hell of a lot better than anyone else" she whispers hesitantly.
I think it over and nod, my through closing up.
She watches me expectedly "is he .. blind?" I whisper my voice tight.
She nods slowly "he's always had an attitude but since he became alpha, he's turned cold. I've grown to fear my brother" she says sadly.
"He's not shown any emotion other than anger in six years, he needs you more than he will ever admit. Yes he might hurt you but it's hurting him more knowing he's hurting you" she says gently.
I think it over and nod.
'Fine, where can I find him" I say confidently.
She smiles "go left down the hallway, turn right, turn right again and you'll see a big oak door" she says.
nod and leave quickly.
Following her orders I take a deep breath before barging in.
He snarls "just listen please" I say quickly before he attacks.
He nods with a grim look "I didn't know that your blind, I swear. Naturally I'm a bitch and that's not going to change but It's my job as your mate to make sure your ok" I state quickly.
His fists clench before he slams it down on his desk.
'She told me somethings and I figured she's right, but I also know I shouldn't have disrespected and tried to downsize you in front of your pack" I say.
"Let me finish" I order firmly. He leans back nodding with his arms crossed. Shaking my head I stay focused.
"It was wrong of me to do that and I'm sorry. To be fair I didn't even notice there was anything wrong with you, I mean not wrong as in a bad thing. I don't mean anything bad by that it's just that you know your way around everywhere so well an-" I ant.
'Ok ok I get it, your giving me a fucking headache" he says, I detect a slight hint of amusement making me grin.
A knock on the door interupted us. "Come in" steel calls loudly.
An oldish man with a bag type thing walks in.
Steel points to me so the man sits in the chair next to me and opens hisbag.
glance at steel seeing his nod in return. He can sense my weariness.
"Are you going to inject me with poisen" I blurt out.
The man looks amused so I look at steel who has a slight smirk on his face. Strangly it suits him.
"He's fixing your hands" steel says icily pointingto my broken bones.
Wow. How nice of you. Not.
Sighing I sit back as the pack doctor I'm guessing pops my bones into place before putting them in bandages and shit.
it doesn't hurt much now so it's almost like they're back to normal.
"Would you like some pain relief?" He asks politely.
I smirk "I don't have any pain" I say shrugging.
"None at all?" He asks suprised.
"Nope"
"Are you in pain often?" He asks curiously.
Ismile brightly "Im known for being the best fighter in the country" I state proudly.
"No way, your the ripper?" He says excited.
"That's me, have you seen me fight before?" I ask curiously.
"Well me an-" a cough interuptedus.
I look over to steel who looks annoyed.
"Well thank you for my hands, what's your name?" I ask.
"Toby" he says and I can tell he wants to leave due to steel.
"I'm Dakota, I'd shake your hand but .. " I say looking at my hands amused.
He laughs and nod saying goodbye before he leaves, shutting the door behind him.
"Isn't that dangerous?" He blurts out.
grin at his worry for me "the fighting?" I reply.
He nods "It is, but I love it. It reminds me of my br-" stop myself as my through tightens.
"So the best in the country huh" he says looking slightly proud beforemasking it.
I nod thankful for him not asking questions.
'Damn right, if you don't believe me I can fight your pack members. But know that I don't go easy on people, the way I see it is you give as good as you get. So-" I ramble in my own world.
His chuckle stops me, the deepness of it causes me to fall off my chair. Literally.
Ihiss as I land on my hands, rolling onto my back. Hands grab my waist gently before lifting me up.
"Are you ok?" He asks instantly.
"Uh, yeah" I say distracted at how close we are.
'So .. what .. " he starts lookin awkward.
groan "I wasn't expected you to laugh It's suprised me!" I say embarrassed.
His face hardens "I'll give you some warning next time" he snickers.
"Good" I say.
Looking up to his eyes I suck in a breath when he's already looking at me.
So blue, bright and absolutely gorgous.
"Your eyes .. " I whisper in awe.
He frowns and pulls away but my next words stop him.
"They're so pretty" I say softly.
"pretty" he scoffs but I can see he's relieved I didn't say something horrible.
"They're the bluest eyes I've ever seen" I say.
Hesitating on my next question I go for it anyway.
"Urm it is complete darkness?" I ask quietly.
He stays silent "I'm sorry, I shouldn't hav-"
"It's fine" he says, his voice harsh but not giving me an answer.
'So I need to ask you a favour" I ask nervously after a minute of silence.
He looks angry "can you be nice to chloe" I ask.
He frowns "I am nice to her" he growls.
I laugh "seriously! You fucking petrified her in the kitchen. Being nice means no swearing, shouting or horrible comments to her. No glares or shoves and definately none of that alpha bullshit" I say.
He grits his teeth "you know, if someone tried to talk to me the way you have today, they'd be dead" he states.
nod "same goes for you angel" I smirk.
His hands slam onto his desk "what" he growls.
'If I ever have kids I'm naming one angel because it's such an adorable name" I gush.
He looks horrified "who told you" he growls.
"I'm not telling you" I state firmly.
"Why" he growls.
'Because you'll hurt them" I say knowingly.
He smirks but doesn't deny it.
"I like angel better than steel, so tell me. How does the whole sex thing work" I ask curiously.
He snarls and stands up putting his guard back up.
"What do you mean?" He spits.
"Is it the same as humans having sex?" I ask.
He growls "why? Have you had sex!?" He snarls angrily.
I blush "just answer my question" I say embarrassed.
'Tell me now" he says with a deadly voice. "No! Ok I haven't" I blurt out.
He calms down slightly and acts like nothing happened "it works the same but the feeling is much better" he grits out.
A thought crossed my mind making me frown.
'Have you .. ?" I trail off.
He stays silent, sadness washes over me so I stand.
"Uh, I'm hungry so I'm gonna g-" I say and use both my hands to open the door ignoring the pain it causes me.
He hand blocks my path "no" he growls.
still and breath in his scent feeling high "no?" I murmur back.
"No" he confirms icily.
'Doesn't that bother you, being an alpha virgin" I smirk.
He snarls "get the fuck out before I hurt you".
"It wouldn't be the first time" I spit hate fully.
He moves away, his body tense and threatening.
Knowing he will hurt me I open the door painfully.
Before shutting it I turn to him "by the way your eyes are amazing" I state honestly.
I grin when I see his suprised face as I shut the door behind me.
Angel bain's povI hear her turn to me "by the way your eyes are amazing" she says honestly. Suprise ripples through my body, what?Nobody has ever said that before, who the fuck does she think she is?I know what she's trying to do, get my guard down and hit me where it hurts. Does she really think I'm that fucking stupid!?Growling to myself I busy myself with alphawork.Dakota ferns povGoing back to the kitchen I take a seat next to chloe "do you live in this kitchen?" I ask slightly amused.She grins "pretty much, you still hungry?" She asks getting up.Ismile brightly "starved" I say with all seriousness. She giggles and nods making her way to the stove.sit bored as she cooks, nearly fainting woth hunger when she places it in front of me."Thankyou" I squeel happily, quickly digging in. She laughs and does the same.Luckily it didn't take too long to cook.Sitting back in my seat I groan "that was amazing" I say."That was something simple, what the hell did you live off?" She
I nod and tie my hair up knowing she's one of those girls who like to pull hair."And when I win, you start searching for your mate or I will kill you. Understood?" I say.She growls "steel is my mate" she says possessively.I feel the familiar adrenaline course through me. Dodging her swift attack I twist and quickly punch her in the sidewinding her. Punching her again ! tackle her to the floor.She flips us and punches me in the face. That's gonna leave a bruise.Biting her arm she growls and moves away. Jumping up I spin and kick her in the face as she runs at me.She flies back, landing a few metres away. She gets back up but I'm already there.I punch her hard in the stomach. She bends over slightly.Grabbing her head I bring my knee up meeting her half way. Her nose slams against my knee before it explodes.She cries in pain but I don't give her time to attack.Pushing her backwards onto the floor I straddle her before laying into her face.I stop after a minute, seeing blood
Angel bains pov:There's something off about her, no human should be able to move as quick or swiftly as she can. She shouldn't have been able to break one of my top warriors' arms within seconds.I need to find out what she is, and quick. I need to show her why I'm the most vicious alpha ever known.Chloe senses there's something off about her too but she's going to get closer to her to find out.'Toby!' I call out icily through the link. He enters my office within a minute."Yes alpha" he bows."I need you to take a sample of Dakotas blood, and I need you to mask your scent and search her room" I order.I hear him nod and he leaves quickly.Ten minutes later, his voice echoes into my mind 'her room is empty alpha, he says.'Take five of my men and go to her old house, don't come back until you find something. Tear it fucking down if you have to' I growl.I shut the link and lean back. If she is what I think she is then I have to kill her.Dakotas pov:I laugh at something Chloe say
Dakota ferns pov:I step back looking at him with pain-filled eyes."You don't want me. I won't stay and be a burden" I say.His eyes flicker with guilt as they move to my jaw line. Guaranteed I have bruises as well as broken fingers.Some mate he is."I've been here for two days angel, you've hurt me emotionally and physically. I can't spend my life with someone who hurts me" I say softly.He crouches down so I turn and run, hoping he won't catch me.Jumping over logs and dips, my feet sprint through the thick woods. Everything's silent behind me but I don't stop running.A body slams into mine making me gasp, the person twisting us so they're taking the fall. I shut my eyes tightly as he flips me so I'm on my back and he's above me."If I could take back what I've done, I would in a heartbeat. But I can't. The only thing I can do is ask you to let me spend the rest of our lives making it up to you" he whispers hopefully.My eyes slowly open "you didn't want me, you sa-""I know what
Dakota ferns povSo that's how I ended up in Angel's dog pits. Aka, prison cell.I'm not in here because I chose my brother, no I'm in here because he realised how dangerous I am.I made my brother unconscious, killed seven hunters and saved Angel's life.Turns out Angel is as lethal as they say.He tore apart eleven hunters, he's got a cut on his arm but other than that he's fine.After he killed eleven, another ten jumped on him at once. I had to step in after killing the ones around me and help kill the ones around him.Let's just say there was a lot of blood, guts, body parts at odd angles, limbs ripped off and torn off flesh.I'll probably have nightmares tonight.But anyway, he's locked me in this disgusting cell for however long he wants.l've tried to escape, but it's no use, the bars are too close together to slide through and there's no windows or vents. Just concrete floors and walls although he did get someone to bring a bed down for me so that's a bonus.Oh and let's not
Angel bains pov:I frown as something moves in my arms before remembering Lana's in here.'This will take some getting used to' I say, amused to my wolf. He howls with happiness making me wince and block him out.Her scent puts me in a trance for a while until her breathing halters.Pretending to be asleep, I close my eyes. She yawns and wiggles around in my arms, holding in a smirk I tighten my arms around her. She huffs and goes silent for a few seconds.Dakota's pov:Having the greatest idea ever, I smirk to myself."SPIDER!" I scream at the top of my lungs. His arms instantly let go of me out of shock, his body jumps backwards and lands on the floor dragging all the covers with him. He groans so I lean over his side of the bed. "Are you ok?" I ask, biting my lip to stop my laughter.He glares at me, "just fucking dandy" he mutters angrily.Shrugging, I climb out of bed "I'm taking a shower" I state and shut the door behind me."Fucksake" I mutter wrapping the towel around me, I fo
Angel Bain's POV:I can feel her eyes burning into me causing my wolf to purr quietly. It feels nice having her eyes on me, with everyone else I just want to punch them. When people watch me it's like they think I'm an invalid and they're waiting for me to mess up. With Lana, it's different, she watches me like she's the luckiest person in the world.I still can't believe she's forgiven me after everything I've done. Although I wasn't going to take no for an answer so really, she had no choice.Flipping the pancakes, they land perfectly in the pan making me grin. Once they're finished cooking I place four on a plate for her, adding lots of fresh cream with chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries. Putting four on my plate, I just add sugar and golden syrup before carrying both plates to the table. My eyes are still my wolf's so I can see her.Placing her's in front of her she grins, "You really are an angel" she murmurs. She kisses my cheek quickly making me chuckle before we both eat.
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
"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
