Chapter Sixty Three_ Wake

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-10 20:20:18

Elliot.

Everything was distant... a haze of voices and sensations muffled by an overwhelming darkness.

The heat burned first, an unrelenting fire that licked at my skin from the inside out. I tried to breathe, but each gasp felt like inhaling flames. Somewhere beyond the suffocating fog, I could hear Damien’s voice, sharp and urgent.

“Elliot!”

It tugged at me, an anchor in the storm, but I couldn’t hold onto it. The darkness thickened, dragging me under until the voices faded completely.

And then, I was somewhere else.

The first thing I noticed was the snow.

It blanketed everything in sight, stretching endlessly in all directions. Mountains loomed on the horizon, their jagged peaks piercing the steel-gray sky. A biting wind swept through the air, carrying with it an eerie silence.

I stood in the middle of it, barefoot, wearing nothing but a thin shirt and pants. The cold should have been unbearable, but I felt nothing... just a numbness that seeped into my bones.

  • Fated to the Broken Rogue   Chapter Sixty Four_ Connected to Damien

    Elliot."Wake."The command reverberated through me, and the world tilted.I wasn't waking... not in the way the wolf demanded. Instead, I was pulled into something else entirely.The darkness receded slowly, giving way to a world steeped in muted colours and restless energy.My limbs felt like lead, as though gravity itself had grown heavier. The ground beneath me was soft and damp, blades of grass brushing against my bare feet.I opened my eyes fully, and the world came into focus. Storm clouds churned above, restless and alive, their deep grays and purples twisting like smoke caught in a hurricane. Thunder rolled in the distance, a low rumble that resonated in my chest, and occasional forks of lightning split the sky. The air was thick with tension, heavy with the scent of rain that hadn't yet fallen.This was a far cry from the snow peaked land I had been on mere moments ago... how did I move from there to... here?I was standing in the middle of a vast field, the grass stretc

  • Fated to the Broken Rogue   Chapter Sixty Five_ Confessions

    Damien.The room was too quiet. Not peaceful or soothing, but oppressive. A silence so thick it pressed against my ears, amplified the sound of my own heartbeat, and magnified every inhale and exhale coming from the person lying in front of me.My... saviour. He looked so small like this. Fragile, almost. The bed dwarfed his lanky frame, his blond hair stark against the pillow. His chest rose and fell steadily, but it was faint, too faint for comfort. The blanket was pulled up to his waist, hiding the worst of the bruises that marred his skin... ugly purple bruises that appeared moments after Celeste made me inject wolf bane into him.Bloody witch.I sat beside him, my fingers wrapped gently around his hand. It was warm, and that was something.But it wasn't enough.Not when his fingers didn't curl back around mine, didn't squeeze the way they usually did when he wanted to tell me without words that I wasn't alone. I reached out with my free hand, brushing a strand of blond hair f

    Damien.The floor quaked beneath me. I jolted awake, the chair screeching as I kicked back, disoriented. The first thing I noticed was Elliot’s hand, still limp in mine. The second was the vibration in the room, a deep, resonant hum that rattled my teeth and made the air feel too thick.“Damien!” Celeste's voice sliced through the suffocating fog. I whipped my head toward the door just as it flew open, slamming against the wall with enough force to splinter wood.She stumbled in, her usually sharp, collected expression replaced with something raw and unguarded... fear. “What the hell is going on?” I demanded, rising to my feet. The pressure in the room grew worse, the walls groaning as cracks spiderwebbed along the plaster. "Witches," Celeste spat, her voice clipped, eyes darting toward the window as if expecting it to shatter at any second. "The kind who hate my guts and want me dead."Before I could respond, the room lurched violently, throwing me off balance. My hand instin

  • Fated to the Broken Rogue   Chapter Sixty Seven_ Terribly wrong

    Elliot.The storm, the woman, the pack... they vanished like smoke in the wind, leaving me adrift in a place that was nowhere and everywhere at once.I wasn't falling, but I wasn't standing either.Time itself seemed to twist and coil, pulling me deeper into its strange, surreal tide.Then, like a thread being yanked taut, the world snapped into place again. I was in a forest. The scent of pine was sharp in the air, mingling with the damp, earthy tang of recent rain. Overhead, thick branches crisscrossed the sky, their needles blotting out the light and casting the ground in a patchwork of shadow. I staggered, struggling to orient myself, and then I heard it... laughter. Children’s laughter. It came from somewhere ahead, carried on the breeze like a melody. For a moment, I froze, unsure whether to follow it or turn away. But the pull... the same invisible force that had dragged me through every other dreamlike fragment... compelled me forward.The forest opened into a small c

    Elliot. I couldn't move. The realization hit me like a freight train, crashing into me with a force that stole the breath from my lungs. My arms hung lifeless at my sides, my legs dead weight beneath me. Panic surged, icy and unrelenting, clawing its way through my chest. “Damien!” My voice broke, high-pitched and trembling. “I... I can’t move!” Damien’s hands were gripping my shoulders instantly as though his touch alone could steady me. His eyes were darkened and locked onto mine, wild with a mixture of fear and determination. “You’re okay, Elliot,” he said, his voice firm, but I could hear the edge of panic beneath it. “You’re here with us. Just breathe.” I couldn't. My chest felt like it was caving in, each inhale a shallow gasp that did nothing to calm the storm building inside me. “I can’t!” I cried, my body trembling as though trying to escape its own paralysis. “Damien, I can’t feel anything! I can’t...” “Elliot!” Celeste’s voice sliced through my panic like a blad

    Elliot.I was back at the cave like I never really left.It pulsed with an energy that set my nerves on edge, but at least my limbs were moving now. I crouched behind a jagged rock, straining to make sense of what I was seeing.I was inside this time, and so was this heart-shaped crystal in the centre of the cave radiating an unearthly glow, its light playing tricks with the shadows. And there was Damien... a younger looking Damien, standing in front of it, his chest rising and falling like he'd just sprinted miles.What was so important about Damien's past that kept pulling me back?What did I need to know?Damien looked... wrecked.Sweat glistened on his forehead, his usually composed face marred by a wild, frantic expression I'd only seen once. During his fight with the lycan... creature thing. His hands hovered over the crystal, trembling. He muttered something under his breath, too quiet for me to hear, but whatever it was, it sounded desperate.Why was he in here?Why was I here

    Damien.There was a storm outside, and it screamed like a living thing, rattling the windows and thrumming through the floorboards of the apartment.The sky, dim and bruised, flashed with jagged streaks of lightning, and every rumble of thunder seemed to echo the chaos inside my head.I hadn't slept.I couldn't.My eyes flicked to Elliot’s still form on the couch for what felt like the thousandth time. He hadn't stirred in over twenty-four hours, and each second stretched longer than the last.His breaths had gone shallow, his skin too pale.Ethan sat across from me, his elbows resting on his knees, fingers woven together in a knot of tension. His usually sharp, sarcastic demeanour was dulled, replaced by quiet dread. I noticed the glances he spared at Elliot and then back at me, the questions unspoken. “What if he doesn’t...” Ethan started, his voice rough. “He will,” I cut him off. Too fast. Too sharp. Ethan’s eyebrows twitched upward, but he said nothing. I knew I wasn't co

  • Fated to the Broken Rogue   Chapter Seventy One_ Flashback

    Damien. The thing about memories is that they don't fade the way people tell you they will. They don't blur at the edges or become easier to ignore. If anything, they sharpen with time, like broken glass waiting to slice through your defenses when you least expect it. I had tried to forget that night a thousand times save from coming to Celeste and demanding she removed the memory. The cave, the elders, the weight of that damn crystal in my hands. The things it showed me.But forgetting isn’t an option when the past refuses to let you go. I was seventeen, full of fire and rage, still believing the world could be fair if I fought hard enough. Back then, I thought blood ties and loyalty meant something. That power could be wielded responsibly. I was wrong. The scent of the forest was thicker that night than I remembered... pine and earth, damp with the promise of rain. The pack house loomed ahead, its timbered frame lit from within by flickering lanterns. Every window burned b

    One year after...Elliot.Fucking hell!What was wrong with me?I adjusted the collar of my shirt, a strange mix of excitement and nervousness bubbling in my chest. That didn't stop me from sparing a glance at Damien, who stood beside me, hands stuffed into his pockets.My mate... plus husband, because sometime within the previous year, he had transitioned into my husband, exuded this sort of calm confidence, but I could see the tension in his posture.Slight tightening of the jaw, the way his fingers flexed occasionally? The signs were all there."You don't have to look so intimidating," I teased, nudging him gently. "We're not here for a pack meeting."On the days we had those, even I knew to steer clear for a few minutes to give him time to breathe. Those elders... well, they were a little intense on the poor guy.Damien shot me a sideways glance, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "It's not intimidating if this is my resting face."Sigh. His resting face was the one he ha

    Elliot."... a feminine mate."The room fell silent, except for the faint crackle of the fire in the corner. Five pairs of expectant eyes rested on me, waiting for my compliance."No." The words slipped out of my mouth easily, followed by a breathless laugh that was so bitter it tasted like ash on my tongue.The tall, silver-haired elder frowned. “No?” I took a step forward, keeping voice steady. "No, I won't take a feminine mate, not when I have a mate already," I shot a glance at Damien, whose eyes just widened in alarm. "One I love, one I cherish, and one I would gladly die for if the need came up."I suppressed the chuckle in me as the elders exchanged uneasy glances, their masks slipping away.Not what they expected eh."My mate is Damien Blackthorn," I declared, the words echoing through the room like thunder. "And you're going to have to live with that."...silence.Then another elder, a squat man with a pale complexion, was the first to break it. "Damien is still illegitimat

    Elliot.All I could was stare at Damien, my chest still heaving from the kiss that had shattered every coherent thought in my mind.Damn me!My lips still tingled from the contact, but my body rebelled against the intimacy, the closeness... the connection. I had no idea when I took a step back while shaking my head. "What the hell are you doing?" My voice was sharp, raw, and mixed with something I wasn't ready to name.Damien's jaw clenched, his eyes shadowed with defiance and something softer."You told me to do something," He repeated with puckered lips."Not that." I snapped at him with a cold tone. Why did it feel like I was splintering from the inside. "Do you think this is the right time for... for that?" I gestured at the air between us, trying my best to keep my hands from trembling.Damien didn’t answer immediately. I took another step back, my legs almost giving out beneath me. "I'm covered in blood, Damien. Asher's blood." My voice cracked, and all I could let out for th

    Elliot.What had I done?The crowd's cheers and chants of "Golden Alpha" roared around me, but the sound felt distant... muffled as if I was underwater. Blood matted my fur, drying into a crust that stung with every movement.I stood still in the centre of the clearing, staring at Asher's lifeless body.I had done that. That was my work.Shouldn't I feel triumphant? That's what was expected of me now. But all I felt was a hollow pit in my chest, an ache that wouldn't subside.This pack members were so fast in turning away from the one alpha they had known all their lived. Did they even like him at all? Was he a cruel thing in their life?Guilt gnawed at me, sharp and insistent. Asher's blood was on my paws... on my teeth. I'd done the one thing I'd never do. Killed another man or wolf.And Damien... My eyes shifted to the man who certainly looked bigger now than before in the crowd, standing apart, shoulders hunched, eyes dark. Damien looked defeated, not victorious, as if Asher's d

    Damien.I crouched low, panting, with blood soaked into my fur. I couldn't help but glare at Asher, who stood tall and smug, those dark eyes of his gleaming with cruel satisfaction."Just leave us alone," I screamed into his mind, making sure my voice was kept steady despite the turmoil raging inside me.Asher's ears flicked back, his snarl rumbling like thunder. His response came immediately, and it wasn't pretty."You think I'd let you walk away with the power of that crystal embedded into you just because you don't want to fight? You're a coward, Damien. A bastard trying to play hero."Fucking hell.I was already frustrated by his stubbornness at this point."This isn't about being a coward or a hero, Asher. I just want to end this madness once and for all... I'll find a way to give you the crystal so we can leave, and it's done."Asher bared his teeth. "You don't get to decide when this ends, big brother. I didn't work my entire life for this pack just to hand it to you? To a bast

    Damien."Take it, and leave us alone."Asher practically snatched the crystal from my hand once he saw it, holding it aloft, those jagged edges slicked with blood staining his fingers.The crystal had this kind of eerie glow from within catching the sunlight and bringing some sort of sinister shadows across his face.He laughed, a cruel thing, slicing through the murmurs of the gathered crowd."Look at him," Asher sneered, turning to the elders, the guards, the pack. "The bastard my father should have drowned the moment he crawled out of his whore of a mother."My breath hitched, fury burning within me at those words.My mother wasn't a whore. She was just a victim of circumstances.He had no right.I stained against the silver shackles digging into my wrists, the metal scorching my skin, but the pain was nothing compared to the rage simmering in my veins."You've always been nothing, Damien," Asher continued, his words dripping with enough venom to wound me. "A stain on this pack fro

    Damien.One of the worst things that could happen to a person is the inability to move.I couldn't move.My body screamed at me to act, to hell, but the silver of the shackles continued to say every ounce of strength I had left. The room became a blur of chaos, the coppery taste of fresh blood mixing with the charred scent of burning torches.My mate... Elliot was a whirlwind of gold and fury, tearing through the guard with a savagery that made even my sick in the head brother stumble back a step.“Kill him!” Asher roared, his voice cracking in uncharacteristic panic. “Stop that beast!” The remaining guard hesitated, fumbling for his weapon as Elliot rounded on him. He didn't even stand a chance. A single swipe of massive claws opened him from collarbone to hip, and his scream of pain ended in a gurgle as he choked on his own blood while crumpling to the floor.This was a horrible place. The screaming elder, on the other hand, had pressed himself against the far wall, eyes wide wit

    Damien.The first thing I registered was the cold.It pressed against my back, so damp and unforgiving, seeping into my bones like ice. My skin felt raw where it touched the stone, aching with each shallow breath I took. The erratic pounding of my heart was even worse since it came with a steady drumbeat of pain, while the sharp scent of blood hung thick in the air...Metallic and bitter.My blood.I forced my eyes open, blinking against the haze clouding my vision. Shadows danced along the damp stone walls, cast by a single torch burning low. The flame sputtered, struggling for life, barely able to illuminate the ancient cracks webbing across the ceiling.I knew this place.This had been my father's prized possession, capable of tearing into the minds of anyone stupid enough to allow themselves to be brought here.The Blackthorn dungeon. A place carved deep into the earth. I'd been here before... years ago... when I was just a boy foolish enough to challenge one of those silly eld

    Elliot.Fuck that little piece of nature.And why did it have to be so loud that it echoed louder than it should have in the unnatural stillness of this place. "Who's there?" Another guard echoed the first one words.They emerged from the shadows almost instantly... the three of them, moving like wolves who'd caught a scent. Their hands rested on their weapons–daggers strapped to their belts, one with a blade half-drawn. Running would be useless right now.Fiona stopped short, standing tall beside me as the nearest guard, a broad-shouldered man with a scar cutting from his temple to his jaw narrowed his eyes. These werewolves always seemed to be injured."Luna Fiona?" His voice was rough with disbelief, head tilting as he looked her over, eyes lingering on her dirt-streaked clothes.The second guard, a bit younger, exchanged a glance with the third. "What the hell are you doing here? And who..." his eyes flicked to me, then moved back to Fiona like I wasn't worth his time. "... who
