Bellatrix Sinclair
Lazarus radiated an aura of distilled enmity, seeping into the radioactive silence between us. He marched with me in toe, not yielding in his punishing grip on my arm. “Lazarus, I need to-“
“Don’t speak.” He commanded steely.
Pressing my lips tightly together, suppressing the irritation bubbling in my chest. He burst into his room and threw me onto the bed, bathing us in a hue of red lights as I briefly catch a glimpse from the window of the starry night sky.
I blinked and suddenly – Lazarus loomed over me; eyes locked upon mine with an overwhelming presence that left me breathless.
“What are you doing?” I gritted out in annoyance, “Get off me Lazarus, I need to return to the palace.”
“You aren’t going anywhere.” He stated definitively, darkness swirling in his eyes. “Ma Cherie, you forget who you belong to.”
My fingers dug int
Bellatrix SinclairThe tension between them sizzled with disdain, crackling like lightening ready to strike. They were shooting daggers at each other above my head and that acrimony spilled into the atmosphere around us. My cheeks ached from this forced smile while Lazarus and Thalion didnโt care to fake pleasantries.Even though we were fucking live!This was beyond uncomfortable, like ants crawling on my skin. Dancing my gaze between them with this aggravating smile, โCan you two please act properly so I can leave.โPrince Thalion smiled at Lazarus, โIt seems that you are upsetting your participant.โLazarusโs jaw tensed, malice dripping from his dark eyes. โDonโt begin to understand what Bellatrix wants.โI exhaled sharply, pressure building in my chest while I remained composed in front of the camera. They have no idea the repercussions of their actions, especially because it will backfire upon me. Iโm the human, Iโm already treading on thin ice with the public despite my popularit
Lazarus De LoughreyFire roared in my chest, flames spilling into my veins and setting my body alight as I watched Bellatrix and Thalion dance. She was different with him; her radiant smile and glowing aura resembled the sun shining with happiness.Something Iโm unable to give her, my heart and happiness. I can only offer my soul and that doesnโt seem like enough because there is nothing left of it.Consumed by my own thoughts, I lost sight of Bellatrix and Thalion. A vicious pounding ignited in my chest, a lump forming in my throat as fear surged through my bloodstream. Frantically searching through the crowd for them, but they have completely disappeared.โKing Lazarus, you shouldnโt have such a look on your face.โ Emmett said casually, sipping on a champagne.I scowled. โWhat look?โโLike you want to kill someone.โโI always look like this, why do you have a problem now?โ I questioned, annoyed.Emmett had interrupted my search for the pair, my rage was ready to explode if he didnโt
Bellatrix SinclairWarmth emitted from Thalionโs hand as he took ahold of mine, leading me away from the grandiose event and outside the palace into a different area that left me unsettled. This path was bathed in darkness, illuminated by a massive fountain spilling water high into the air like fireworks.We take our seats at the edge of the fountain, an icy sensation washing over my body from the cold stone. Unease curdled in my chest, โWhy did you bring me here, Prince Thalion?โHe raised his head, gazing upon the vast sky. โI assumed that you needed a break from smiling, especially when it never reached your eyes.โAn itch flared along my collarbone, agitated by others reading my mind so easily. Arching a challenging brow at him, โWhat about you? You always wear your hair in a bun but tonight you wore it down.โโYou caught me.โ The corners of his lips lifted into a bittersweet smile, โI should be used to the stares by now.โ He lets out a quiet chuckle, โThe look of disgust however,
Bellatrix SinclairI teetered the edge of curiosity and fear, my breath held captive in my lungs until they burned. โDo you wish to know your future?โ He asked in a gentle tone.Swallowing the doubt creeping into my mind, hesitant as the words slipped out. โYes.โHe leaned in slightly, peering into my soul with softened eyes. Each colour glowed within the darkness, captivating me like a spell. Silence stretched between us, thickened by unspoken tension as he stared into my eyes โ yet I couldnโt look away.Thalion blinks, extinguishing the glow in his irises. โThe future is unpredictable, written in sand and not stone.โPuffing out my lips, humming a teasing tune. โI think Iโm finally able to understand your poetic way of speaking.โHe chuckles, a flicker of amusement washing over his features. โMy speech changes when I use my ability.โSuddenly the atmosphere shifted, thickened by desolation. Thalion features softened with traces of sadness. โI hope you never encounter the darkest par
Bellatrix SinclairLazarus gently laid Thalion onto the bed, changing his room to one of the master suiteโs. A teasing smile tugged at my lips, โThought you hated him?โSuddenly, he caught my hand, threading his fingers through mine. โI still do.โI rolled my eyes, clearly the actions werenโt aligning if he truly despised Thalion. โBut I appreciate his warning.โ He murmured softly. โIโm grateful to anyone who wants to protect you.โA sudden jolt shot through my heart, a stumble in my pulse that had me squeezing his hand. Lazarus has disturbed the peace and twisted my mind into craving this possession, his love.Even when I knew this was wrong, even though I knew it would become a hindrance in the future.Thalionโs words echoed, playing on a loop. Death was inevitable but one filled with suffering and regret was something I didnโt want.Tugging him along, straight into his room. โWe need to talk.โBathed in darkness, unable to hear the party downstairs. Reluctantly I let his hand go an
Bellatrix SinclairThe final stages of the competition would take place tomorrow, during the week in which I became Prince Thalionโs aide I saw the lengths these women would go to garner his favor โ especially Cassandra.They kissed ass and it was in vain. Prince Thalion was kind, mirroring the statement of forgiving but never forgetting. I narrowed my eyes at him, studying his demeanor as Cassandra giggled, handing over a tray of assorted macaroons. This was a tactic in her apology for disgracing him, providing different sweets as a peace offering.โThank you, Cassandra.โ Prince Thalion smiled.She glanced at me, disgust washing over her features for a brief second before that plastic smile pulled at her lips. She bowed, blushing. โI made them myself, I hope they are to your liking. Please enjoy, Prince Thalion.โShe left and I scoffed bitterly, casting him a dry look. โDonโt tell me you buy that nonsense that itโs homemade?โPrince Thalionโs smile was dazzled with a hint of mischief
Lazarus De LoughreyBellatrix grimaced at the detoxication injection being administered. โIโm fine, I donโt-โEmmett clicked his tongue and Bellatrixโs lips thinned, silently sticking out her arm for him to inject. โIโll give you lollipop after.โโIโm not a child โ ow, ow, ow.โ She cried.โSure, you arenโt.โ Emmett muttered dryly, wiping the bead of blood with a cotton swab and lifting the trash can as Bellatrix retched once again.โThis is bullshit.โ She snapped in between dry heaving and vomiting.Closing the door behind me and giving her a semblance of privacy in such a fucked-up situation. My heart pounded viciously in my chest, disdain surging through my veins as I craved to torture the person responsible for causing her pain.Fisting the fabric of Thalionโs shirt, โWhat the fuck did you do to her?โ I snarled.He frowned, โI had nothing to do with this. She explained that this has become a regular occurrence since the beginning of the competition.โโTake your hands off me, Lazaru
Bellatrix SinclairLazarus stares at me with a lethal expression, suffocating silence like a ticking time-bomb. Swirling my tongue around the cherry-flavoured lollipop to suppress the unease churning in my stomach. Glancing over his shoulder to Emmett, silencing questioning whether he knows what is happening.He frowned, shaking his head, equally puzzled. Fixing my attention back onto Lazarus, his silence more unsettling than when he speaks. “What now?” I snapped, agitated. “I don’t need this after puking my guts out.”His inky eyes flashed with fury, releasing an exasperated breath as he asked, “When were you going to tell me about the assassination attempts on your life?”I’ll admit, this was a rather tamed reaction than what I expected. Raising an eyebrow at him, “Didn’t you say I needed to win at all costs?” I retorted bitterly.A cloud of anguish washed over his features, his ja
Bellatrix SinclairA king should always suppress their resentment, but there is only so much one could handle before it completely devoured their soul. There was no justice in this world, and he knew that better than anyone, The Syndicate managed to take away the only family he had left.Agony chewed at his heart and despair ripped his flesh apart. Lazarus was being consumed by a blackhole of desolation, falling deeper into the abyss until nothing remained but pure rage. None of us knew his wraith, however I suspected it would be a catastrophe for everyone.He disappeared after The Syndicate dismissed him, usually he would have scolded me for breaking the rules. Except, he instructed Christian to escort me back to the palace for the participants. He was trying to endure his suffering, attempt to repress the hatred that was clearly tearing him apart.The only way he knew how to do that was alone.But I couldnโt shake the acrimonious fire surging through my bloodstream, he had every rig
Bellatrix SinclairโClearly he underestimated my abilities.โ Melody glowered, expressing her disbelief. โIt will take alot more to knock us out.โHer voice became distorted by the splitting headache, another side-effect of the sleeping drug that added to the density of my body. โThis feels weird.โ I grumbled under my breath.I should be freaking out by such foreign sensations of her voice creeping into my mind, yet it strangely felt right. Melody spoke softly, appeasing the hesitation in my soul from this revelation. โYou will get used to it eventually. If you find it too intrusive, envision a wall separating us and you wonโt be able to hear my voice.โShe was providing comfort, trying to ease my acceptance that I was no longer human. I donโt think Iโve fully comprehended that Iโm a werewolf, especially one in the prophecy โ which I didnโt believe but Lazarus seemed adamant.Christian flicked his gaze to the rearview mirror, a mirage of emotions filtering through his orbs before his f
Lazarus De LoughreyThe Syndicate resided in a castle, atop the mountains that gave the illusion it floated in the sky. It was secluded from the rest of the Kingdomโs, stationed on a vast piece of land without a soul in sight. Although I knew this place wasnโt truly their home, that information was strictly confidential.Now it made sense that whenever I tried to figure out the identities of the other Elderโs - I came to a dead end and that was due to Donovanโs interference.Bellatrixโs curled her fingers into my jacket, bunching the material in a tight grip. She can barely manage to lift her head, shallow pants slipping from her lips. โLazarus.....what did you do?โI raised her chin, a magnetic collision of those crystalized blues, lids drooping as she fought the drug. โItโs for your own good.โ I said, softly.โIโm supposed....to....help.โ Her voice faded as she slumped against me.Carefully maneuvering her back to the leather seat, I adjusted the dosage of the sleeping drug to ensur
Bellatrix Sinclair“You shouldn’t be out of bed.” Lazarus chastised, features hardening as he leaned back into the chair.“It’s been almost two weeks, I’ve recovered.” I said sternly. “Don’t think I don’t know what you are up to.”His silence was all the confirmation I needed; the tense atmosphere seeping into his muscles. Not that I blame him, this was a huge betrayal from the only family he had left.Lazarus lifts his gaze to meet mine, arching an eyebrow. “What exactly do you think I am up to?”I sighed, exasperated. “You called for Judah and Valeria. It’s quite obvious that you are planning on confronting your uncle.”“Quite perceptive.” He mused with a smirk.I sucked in a sharp breath, unease curdling in my stomach. “Are you going to tell them about the prophecy and my wolf?”His stare is cryptic, like h
Bellatrix SinclairIn the darkened abyss, this white wolf was radiant โ practically glowing like a beacon of hope. She rested her head on her paws; eyes closed like she was sleeping. An invisible force propelled me forward, the further I got โ I realized we werenโt entirely alone.This wolf blended with the night, unnoticeable unless you were close. Much bigger in contrast to her, softness in those pitch-black orbs as they focused on her. There was something familiar about this dark wolf, nudging his head gently against hers affectionately.His gaze lifted to mine with equal tenderness. โFinally, youโre awake.โMy brows drew together in confusion, โDo you know me?โIโm not sure how I can interpret his expression, clouded by desolation. โYou will know me now, because of her.โThere was something beautiful about them unlike others Iโve encountered, gleaming with adoration.โWho is she?โ I asked curiously, flicking my gaze to our surroundings, โWhere are we?โโThe answers you seek, he wi
Lazarus De LoughreyโMate.โ Maddox growled, his voice echoing within my mind.This wasnโt an illusion, it was all true. The horrifying screams that vibrated through my body, agony piercing the core of my soul โ it was Bellatrixโs cries for help because of the transformation.โYou let me hear her voice on purpose.โ I marveled, โMates are unable to hear each otherโs voice unless they have marked each other.โMelody embodied fierceness, even in this moment โ she was aggressive and a force to be reckoned with โ just like Bellatrix. Their souls were intertwined in perfect harmony despite Melody being locked away.She spoke with serenity, a certain warmth that I felt in my heart. โWe are a special case; it would have been true if Bellatrix didnโt have any feelings for you, but she is inlove with you.โMy heart quickened, elation coiling around my heart. Her expression morphed with pure malice, turning her head towards the target. โNo time for that, I can only manage my sanity for a few minu
Bellatrix SinclairโKILL!โ a mysterious voice boomed, bursting my eardrums. โKILL!โThe voice penetrated my mind like a thousand needles, and I grabbed my head as every vein screamed in protest, ready to burst. I bit down hard, agony tearing through me mercilessly. It was unescapable, an intense pressure on my chest that crushed my lungs.I choked, banging my chest when every breath burned like acid. โWhats......happening.โ I gasped, Thomasโs figure blurring amid the rain and intense fire penetrating my eyes.Something was wrong, something backfired and now my body was rejecting me, desperate to disintegrate my soul into nothing but ashes.Crashing down onto my hands and knees. A raw, violent scream tore from my throat, chaos exploding inside me. โHelp me,โ I sobbed, barely able to breathe, when something slammed into my chest with brutal force.I coughed blood, fire seared my flesh until all that remained was unimaginable pain. The sickening cracking of bones thundered as my arms jer
Bellatrix SinclairThe pain was excruciating, piercing every nerve and pulling tautly until they tore like threads. My pulse roared in my ears, fire spreading through my veins and burning me from the inside. He sank his fangs deeper into my flesh and a raw scream ripped from my throat, unrelenting pain hitting me like bolt of lightning, vicious in its intensity.I jerked my leg frantically, desperate to drive my heel into his foot before he tore a chunk of flesh from my neck. Choking on the intensity of his vice grip, a pounding in my head as I was tethering the edge of death in a few seconds.Jabbing my heel into his foot with all my strength. No thoughts โ just the raw need to escape. His fangs detach, a hissed cry slipping from his bloody lips before he released me.I gasped, struggling to breathe past the agony constricting my chest. My feet tremble as I try to run, each step slower than the last. Blood coats my fingers as I clutch my neck, pain flaring with every pulse.Thomas sn
Bellatrix SinclairI stared at him, analyzing every detail from top to bottom. He wore a sharp suit, pristine and immaculate for a dead man. โI guess itโs true what they say, a corpse is always the best dressed.โ I said, my tone dripping with acid.He let out a sinister chuckle, insanity dilating his pupils. With a flick of his wrist, he adjusted his suit. โIndeed, your corpse will be the personification of beauty in death.โ He responded smoothly.Anger and confusion surging through my veins like poison and clouding my mind. โYou were sentenced to death, you were executed.โ I scowled bitterly. โThomas Grey.โHe tsked, the sound filled with disappointment and caution. โThis what happens when you give humans a little freedom, they start breaking the rules.โArching a pointed brow at him,A sly grin crept across my lips, arching a pointed brow at him. "You are no longer an Alpha or a King, do I really need to show you respect?โHis nostrils flared, eyes ablaze with vexation. โHumans can
