Heart of blood and roses Who was Alpha Orion?
Who was Alpha Orion?The cruel Alpha who murdered people with no mercy just to take over the packs or the loving Alpha who looked after his people and for whom people had love and respect in their hearts? It was a question that was killing me.The journey was mostly silent, I was trying to get my head wrapped around the new side of Alpha. After Lenna returned I quickly apologized for earlier. Maybe she was right, maybe there was a piece of the puzzle that was not on the board yet. Or maybe she did not know the true side of Alpha. I had heard about him in the palace when he was taking over the packsIf the royal family had called him merciless, he was not a saint for sure. Spending time with those children turned out to be better than I was expecting. We read stories and played, one hour passed without even realising. Alpha Orion was different there, he was not just a cold and heartless Alpha who could scare someone with just his intimidating look. He was warm and he looked....ha

"It is safe to leave," Chelsea reassured me once again as we both left the mansion together. There was still no sign of Luca anywhere. "Where is Luca?"Chelsea gave some instructions to the driver before turning in my direction, "He is already there, I thought we need a place where Orion would not find us and we call could blend easily."I nodded but kept my mouth sealed, Chelsea was already helping me I was not going to ask her anything that could give birth to suspicions in her head. "Chelsea, thank you once again for doing this," I started telling her in a hushed voice trying to keep the word away from the person driving the car, "can you do me one more favor?"She looked confused but nodded anyway."Can you not mention any of this to Luca?""Alright," she replied in an unsure tone but I decided to leave it and not say anything else."It is just that..." I started explaining to make sure she would not suspect anything."It's cool," she smiled, "I get it, Orion is behaving like a

Words had a different kind of power, once said they could make a home in someone's mind. That's exactly what happened after Luca and I talked. He was suspicious about my relationship with Alpha Orion. I was not careful enough. I let the minor mistake happen...a mistake that could have cost not only me but so many others as well. *I could get you out of this hell.* His words were still ringing inside my ears. How could he say something like that? It was wrong, Alpha Orion was my soulmate. Luca was King's brother. Fingers would be pointed at the King and Eleanor by their people. Having a soulmate was so much more than just having a person by your side to greet others.Werewolves would not take this action lightly. I let out a sigh, putting the pillow on the bed once again after I felt like it was slightly toward the left and not in the center aligning with the rest. But what I left with Luca? No one knew about my relationship with Alpha Orion... according to his pack members I

I slowly got up while keeping my eyes on the person standing behind me with anger and an accusing look on her face. Without letting her know I started searching for something I could use to defend myself in case she decided to attack me. The chances of her attacking were meager as Alpha was in the house and he could hear if I screamed, he might not come to help me immediately and it could be too late for me. "What is going on?" I created some distance between us. Her blue were staring at me like a lifeless doll without blinking, there were no emotions in them. "You... you ruined everything ever since you came here," she sneered. I gulped but tried my best not to show any signs of weakness but at the same time, I was showing her I was not a threat. If she thought I was going to attack her in order to defend myself she might attack and my nails had no comparison to her claws. "Mia," I remembered her name from the time Chelsea introduced us, "maybe this is a confusion. We can talk

"You seem distracted today."I looked away from the green grass to the girl who was making a crown from dandelions. She seemed busy in her own world with no worries about anything happening outside this forest. The frown of concentration on her forehead made me wonder how she noticed I was distracted by something. "It is just...life.""Are you not happy with your life?" there was innocence in her words, but curiosity on her face. "It is difficult to explain, Flora.""Try me," this time she paused her work to look at me with full attention. I smiled at the young girl, "I have two paths in front of me. If I picked the first path, people I care about will get hurt.""What about the second road?""If I took that then I will have to suffer in silence."I knew she did not understand the entire thing and I could not tell her anything either. Ever since I saw Chelsea and Alpha Orion together I could not help but believe I was not meant to be here in their lives. And what Mia said worked

The night was as silent as it could get. Creatures of the night were not howling at the moon, everything was quiet....like the silence before the storm. I rested my head on the wall before closing my eyes for a moment but still keeping myself awake. The nightmares were not letting me sleep. I was getting tired of seeing blood and dead people in my sleep. I knew it was something related to the red moon. I was living in a supernatural world and everything here meant something, I would be foolish to ignore this....especially if this was a warning. Nights like these made me feel more lonely than I already was. Whenever I had a nightmare as a child my mother would hug me tight while telling stories about the happy times. Even though it was just the two of us she tried her best to give me everything she could. What if the times were different and my parents were still alive? Maybe I would not be sitting here alone at night staring at the cloudy sky trying to figure out my life. But what
Last Updated : 2023-01-16Heart of blood and roses You are something else
I stretched my arms as I sat on the bed. After so many nights I had a peaceful sleep with no sight of haunting murderous scenes. I touched the soft fabric suddenly remembering last night...I was trying not to fall asleep and yet here I was in the comfort of bed not surrounded by chilly winds on a floor. Alpha Orion.Did he...I tried to shake the thoughts away, why would he do that? Knowing him he would just leave me outside in the cold.But he was sitting with me in the middle of the night, was it true or was it a dream?I softly touched the spot on the side of my head where I thought he had kissed me...that part was definitely a dream. My heart started thumping loudly as I saw the time...11 am. I sprinted towards the bathroom to get ready. After fifteen minutes as I was brushing my hair...the realization occurred to me. I was no longer in the palace, it was a habit...a part of me. I had to be ready by 7 am to make sure I started doing my work. But I was no longer in the palace,

Luca tried to kiss me.I was still trying to think about it or more like I was trying to think about the reason. It was wrong...no matter what the reason was, his action was not right but it was just a moment of weakness. He was vulnerable and I was just there. I let out a breath while walking outside the mansion. I had to get out of that place, I needed time and place to think about what happened. My eyes changed their color, did it really happen or the lack of sleep was finally messing with my head?The red moon was approaching fast and I had no clue about it...I was sure about one thing, something terrible would happen in a few days. My nightmares were not ordinary, I might not be a werewolf but I was still connected with this pack through my soulmate. It could be a warning, a warning I would not ignore.So many questions were running inside my head and I had no answers. I could ask Eleanor about the red moon but she was as clueless as me considering she did not know about the

Heart of blood and roses Coven is like a tree
I froze as soon as I entered the house. "What...?"Orion stood next to me, "We need to talk to you about something."My heartbeat increased, did something bad happen? Celia was sitting with no smile on her face, next to her was Ruth with a similar expression accompanied by Oliver and Rose. "Is everything alright?" I asked Orion, "Is it about the red moon?"He shook his head, "No, everything is fine, love, just calm down and have a seat."Bernadette gave a sharp nod to Orion, "I will be outside." She was in her beta mode, something was not right.Did they know about what happened near the river? I gulped thinking about it but tried not to show the fear on my face as I sat down in front of the witches. Orion was holding my hand the entire time while his other hand was on my back rubbing circles. "The resemblance..." Celia shed a tear which she wiped quickly."What is happening here?" The silence was making me feel suffocated. "It's best if Celia starts from the beginning," Orion g
Heart of blood and roses I will not tell a soul about it
My feet kept moving, I knew where I had to stop. Orion and I were in the middle of our conversation when he said he figured something out but he had to leave before he could explain anything. We were not getting much time to talk or discuss anything, the red moon was above our heads and even though no one was showing it, we were all scared. I was breathing hard from taking two steps at once and my heart was racing but no matter how much I tried I could not shake the feeling away. A smile made its way to my lips when I saw the girl's long brown hair touching the ground as she sat on the edge of the river. "Flora.""You are late, Ruhee."I paused, her words had no emotions."Are you alright, Flora?" I sat down next to her to take a look at her face. Her skin looked pale as she stared into the distance. I followed her eyes she was staring at the other side of the forest. Everything about her was the same except there was no glow on her face, her eyes had lost their spark. I felt
Heart of blood and roses Forbidden forest
I woke up with a heavy feeling in my head, it was like I had not slept in days which would not be wrong. The nagging feeling inside my stomach was not leaving, the dream I had was too real to be a nightmare. Something was not right, it was not about the blood moon. I rubbed my head and looked at Orion's side of the bed only to find it empty. With a sigh, I picked up the note that he had left on the table, 'I had to make some preparations for the ritual, will be back soon.'The ritual.What was the ritual anyway? How could Orion trust these witches so much?I knew what I was going to do next. I quickly got ready and ran towards the place where the witches were staying. Before getting closer I put on the smile I had mastered in years. The man who came with Celia last night was sitting on the ground, he threw me a look but did not say a word and continued his work. He was carefully removing petals from a plant I had never seen before in this pack. The flowers were blood red and whit
Heart of blood and roses Prevent it from becoming reality
I did not know what I was expecting, maybe someone old, cruel-looking with wrinkly skin and evil eyes but I was not expecting the happy lady in front of me followed by a few others.A woman who appeared to be in her late thirties entered first, she was the shortest out of all but had the biggest smile. Her dark maroon, almost black dress touched the ground as she walked, she had jet-black hair pulled back tightly, and not a single hair was out of place. Her green eyes were barely open from the wide smile she had on her round face. "Oh, my dear, Orion, what a lovely welcome.""Celia, this is my Luna, Ruhee."Celia, the lady who appeared to be their leader stood in front of me."Ruhee," she repeated my name."Thank you for coming here to help us," I said in a soft voice.I highly doubted she heard my words as she almost touched my face with her hand, "You.""Mother, I think we should get some rest and start our work without wasting any time," a girl interrupted Celia before her hand co
Heart of blood and roses Welcome to our pack
"Why would you do that?" I welcomed Alpha Orion with the question as he entered the room. He did not answer and closed the door. "I am talking to you," I repeated, not letting my eyes wander from his face. He did not reply once again and put the phone on the table. I got out of the bed and stood in front of him blocking his path with my hands crossed over my chest. "Alpha Orion, care to explain why you announced about us in front of the entire pack?" My voice was still not loud, I wanted answers but it did not mean I had to be loud. "I did the right thing, princess." He started searching for something. I held his arm with my hand firmly which was surprisingly new for me as well and the action was unusual for him too based on the look on his face. "I think I deserve some answers." He licked his lips and guided me to sit on the bed. "I am fine," I was getting annoyed by his actions. "I was not telling anyone the truth because of your safety, people of this pack had accepted C
Heart of blood and roses I was not a good friend
There was a loud growl that made the ground beneath my feet shake as I tried to stand. I quickly moved my eyes toward the two wolves but only one of them was standing now. It was a large brown wolf, it was the darkest shade of brown I had ever seen with some streaks of black between the fur. This wolf was different as compared to the mustard-brown wolf that was on the ground...not moving at all.The brown wolf kept staring at me as though making sure I was fine. "I am okay, Orion."Orion's wolf let out a low sound. My eyes fell on the other wolf once again and I quickly looked away. Soon the sound of the cracking of bones entered my ears. After a few more minutes Alpha Orion was standing in front of me with a cold expression on his face. "I..."He did not let me say anything else and just scooped me in his arms like I weighed nothing.I gulped."I have no idea who that wolf was."Silence."I do not know why he thought I was taking their Luna's place."Once again no response.But
Heart of blood and roses Our pack
"Hey, I need to talk to you about something."Orion put his phone away and turned to give me his full attention, "I was just coming to find you, I wanted to talk to you as well."I frowned a little but nodded as a sign for him to continue."You go first.""It is fine, I know you must have something important to say about the red moon or the pack," I smiled. Orion returned the smile while shaking his head a little bit but all of a sudden his face became serious. "Witches will be in our pack soon.""What?"He nodded, "I know we don't have much time left and they have decided to help us. We need to make sure everything goes fine here. Witches could be hard to deal with, they don't like to be a part of others' issues."I inhaled a breath. Soon I found his hand on my cheek, his thumb caressing my skin very gently in a circular motion, "Hey, it's okay. I am here with you."I licked my lips and put my hand over his, "I...I had a nightmare."His face hardened and a dark look appeared in hi
Heart of blood and roses Always be mine
I sat silently gazing at the sky, birds had started chirping a melodious song but it sounded like the tone of death to me. No matter how much I tried to convince myself I could not act normally or focus on the blood moon. What if it was just the beginning and I could not stop others from dying either? "I can not protect these people," I said out loud as the reality started sinking in. My breaths started getting heavy and I started feeling uneasy. No matter how much I tried to take deep breaths, I felt like drowning in the ocean. "No," a voice entered my ears, "we are going to protect everyone together.""I want to be alone.""No, you don't. I know you lost a friend and you're mourning his death.""Murder," I said through gritted teeth, "it was a murder.""Princess," he held my wrist but I pulled my hand away from him, "I know you are hurt and angry. You have all the rights to be. I am with you, tell me what you want.""You are not with me, you have no idea what I am feeling righ
Heart of blood and roses I want to be alone
I held the stem attached to the flower tightly, luckily there were no thorns to pierce through my skin. I opened the drawer and put it with the other yellow rose, but today it was red. Orion had been leaving a flower on the table next to my bed every day with a sorry since I stopped talking to him. The blood moon was only 5 days away and we had no progress so far. A knock on the door startled me before I could respond the door burst open and Bernadette stood in front of me."What happened?" Sudden fear rose inside my chest. She kept one hand on the doorknob as she stood silently."Bernadette?" I questioned again taking a step in her direction while getting dark thoughts inside my head. "It's Arwin..."My heart stopped."What about him?" I took another step, "where is he?"She once again fell silent but this time I did not wait and tried to get past her but she held my arm."Listen to me, he's no more."I let out a humorless chuckle, "What are you saying? Have you gone insane? He
