Bellatrix SinclairThe final stages of the competition would take place tomorrow, during the week in which I became Prince Thalion’s aide I saw the lengths these women would go to garner his favor – 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.“Thank you, Cassandra.” 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. “I made them myself, I hope they are to your liking. Please enjoy, Prince Thalion.”She left and I scoffed bitterly, casting him a dry look. “Don’t tell me you buy that nonsense that it’s homemade?”Prince Thalion’s smile was dazzled with a hint of mischief
Lazarus De LoughreyBellatrix grimaced at the detoxication injection being administered. “I’m fine, I don’t-“Emmett clicked his tongue and Bellatrix’s lips thinned, silently sticking out her arm for him to inject. “I’ll give you lollipop after.”“I’m not a child – ow, ow, ow.” She cried.“Sure, you aren’t.” Emmett muttered dryly, wiping the bead of blood with a cotton swab and lifting the trash can as Bellatrix retched once again.“This is bullshit.” 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 Thalion’s shirt, “What the fuck did you do to her?” I snarled.He frowned, “I had nothing to do with this. She explained that this has become a regular occurrence since the beginning of the competition.”“Take 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
Lazarus De Loughrey“Lazarus, let me go.” She spat fiercely, attempting to pry herself out of my hold but it was futile.Those milky blues darkened, “Let me fucking go.”Using abit of force and pulling her towards me, making her stumble and collide with my chest. Capturing her chin between two fingers and lifting her gaze to meet mine. “We are in my palace now, no one is coming to save you.”She snarled, “I don’t need anyone to save me.”My mouth twisted into a cruel smile, “Seeking their attention so that they can come find you? Is that not you asking for them to save you?” I mocked.Her eyes grew wide in disbelief, and she swallowed the truth from expelling off the tip of her tongue. “I have no idea what you are talking about.” she denied steely, hardening her exterior.I chuckled, shoving her into my room as anger coursed through my veins. My fingers tightened into fists, every cell in my body buzzing with an urgency that could only be the influence of Maddox. Bellatrix’s features
Lazarus De LoughreyI was utterly hypnotized by the peaceful expression she wore while asleep, buttoning my shirt ever-so slowly and drinking in these rare moments. That beautiful, strategic mind so unpredictable that I couldn’t deduce her next move.However, I knew that her persistence to win this competition wasn’t strictly for my benefit. Her motives steered towards the human rebellion, she still wanted to join them. Despite her friendships with my people, it hasn’t detoured her from joining.The human rebellion will create a war, one that will take lives of both humans and wolves. That wasn’t what I wanted, nor do I think Bellatrix would condone such a thing. Ultimately, she wanted humans to have their freedom, abolish the slavery and live in peace.But this wasn’t the way to get it, if everyone died then what would be the point?War has never been the answer, it came at the cost of lives because leaders couldn’t come to an agreement. The biggest obstacle to creating harmony wasn’
Bellatrix Sinclair“Holy shit, you look amazing.” Lila beamed, taking her position next to me.Lila was strikingly beautiful, shiny dark purple curls and radiant light emeralds that made her enchanting like a fairy. “You look beautiful Lila.” I smiled; my voice thick with emotions. “I’m really glad that we are friends.”Her gaze softened as we blinked back unshed tears. “Me too.”Music filtered through the stadium, the female announcer going through the motions and introductions of the competition. This contest included Prince Thalion, other participants have had encounters and conversations while I served as his aide.Although it was a position only in name. We developed a friendship, there wasn’t any discussions of the contest, and we just bonded over shared love of culture, food and history. He has profound wisdom, an ability to judge someone’s character and peek into their soul and see their past and future. Such power leads to suffering in silence, I’ve seen it firsthand when Tha
Bellatrix SinclairMy eyes fly to Lila’s, a mixture of fascination and confusion marring our expressions. “He must have shown you.” She interpretated.Shaking my head, utterly astonished by such a revelation of their existence. “He never told me anything.” The corners of my mouth quirked up into a half-smile, “Prince Thalion is filled with surprises.”From this distance, the fairy was merely a floating orb of white light in his hand. Lila pursed her lips, deep in thought. “Do you think he carried her in his pocket this entire time?”I grimaced, “That would be weird and unbefitting of a Prince.”“Indeed.” Prince Thalion’s voice interrupted, steeling our spine under his attention and pressing my lips together to suppress my embarrassment. “Rosie was brought here today, and she prefers to sleep all day so I’m actually disrupting her routine.”He peers down at the fairy with a radiant smile. “I’m grateful for your assistance today, Rosie, I know it must be hard.”Her response wasn’t in wo
Bellatrix Sinclair“Cheers to Bellatrix.” Dean rejoiced as we all lifted our glasses filled with champagne.Heat spread across my cheeks, “You guys don’t have to do this.”Imogen scoffed, a tug of her lips into a small smile. “Trust me, this has become revolutionary.”My brows furrowed in confusion, sipping on the bubbles. “How so?”Aaron tilted his head, grey eyes sparkling with curiosity. “You didn’t see it on the live broadcast?”Shaking my head, “I can’t keep up with the comments and I didn’t have time to pay attention while conversing with Prince Thalion and Rosie.”Ari choked on the bubbles while everyone stared at me with a mixture of astonishment. “What?”“Don’t you have a phone?” Lila asked, wide-eyed.I pursed my lips; I couldn’t really share that it was in the King’s castle. “Mines has been broken since I came here.” I lie.Imogen nudged Huddy, “Bring your laptop here and show her.”Huddy obliged, plucking the laptop from on top of a barrel filled with wine and turned off t
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 couldn’t shake the acrimonious fire surging through my bloodstream, he had every rig
Bellatrix Sinclair“Clearly he underestimated my abilities.” Melody glowered, expressing her disbelief. “It will take alot more to knock us out.”Her voice became distorted by the splitting headache, another side-effect of the sleeping drug that added to the density of my body. “This feels weird.” 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. “You will get used to it eventually. If you find it too intrusive, envision a wall separating us and you won’t be able to hear my voice.”She was providing comfort, trying to ease my acceptance that I was no longer human. I don’t think I’ve fully comprehended that I’m a werewolf, especially one in the prophecy – which I didn’t 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 Kingdom’s, stationed on a vast piece of land without a soul in sight. Although I knew this place wasn’t truly their home, that information was strictly confidential.Now it made sense that whenever I tried to figure out the identities of the other Elder’s - I came to a dead end and that was due to Donovan’s interference.Bellatrix’s 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. “Lazarus.....what did you do?”I raised her chin, a magnetic collision of those crystalized blues, lids drooping as she fought the drug. “It’s for your own good.” I said, softly.“I’m supposed....to....help.” 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 – 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 – I realized we weren’t 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. “Finally, you’re awake.”My brows drew together in confusion, “Do you know me?”I’m not sure how I can interpret his expression, clouded by desolation. “You will know me now, because of her.”There was something beautiful about them unlike others I’ve encountered, gleaming with adoration.“Who is she?” I asked curiously, flicking my gaze to our surroundings, “Where are we?”“The answers you seek, he wi
Lazarus De Loughrey“Mate.” Maddox growled, his voice echoing within my mind.This wasn’t an illusion, it was all true. The horrifying screams that vibrated through my body, agony piercing the core of my soul – it was Bellatrix’s cries for help because of the transformation.“You let me hear her voice on purpose.” I marveled, “Mates are unable to hear each other’s voice unless they have marked each other.”Melody embodied fierceness, even in this moment – she was aggressive and a force to be reckoned with – 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. “We are a special case; it would have been true if Bellatrix didn’t have any feelings for you, but she is inlove with you.”My heart quickened, elation coiling around my heart. Her expression morphed with pure malice, turning her head towards the target. “No time for that, I can only manage my sanity for a few minu
Bellatrix Sinclair“KILL!” a mysterious voice boomed, bursting my eardrums. “KILL!”The 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. “Whats......happening.” I gasped, Thomas’s 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. “Help me,” 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 – 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. “I guess it’s true what they say, a corpse is always the best dressed.” 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. “Indeed, your corpse will be the personification of beauty in death.” He responded smoothly.Anger and confusion surging through my veins like poison and clouding my mind. “You were sentenced to death, you were executed.” I scowled bitterly. “Thomas Grey.”He tsked, the sound filled with disappointment and caution. “This what happens when you give humans a little freedom, they start breaking the rules.”Arching 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?”His nostrils flared, eyes ablaze with vexation. “Humans can
