Heart of blood and roses Where are we going?
There was a knock on the door. I gave one last look to myself in the mirror. I was wearing faded shorts with a net crop top and a long floral shrug. My hair was in a high pony and I kept the makeup minimal with just concealer and little eyeshadow on my eyelids instead of eyeliner and nude lipstick to complete my look.I let a few strands of hair fall to frame my face. In the end, I added black boots. The door opened, "You ready?"I looked at Alpha through the mirror, "Where are we going?""I have some work to do and Bernadette suggested it'll be a good idea to take you with me, you'll get some fresh air and it'll teach you a few things about being," he cleared his throat, "my Luna."I licked my lips and nodded, "Let's get this over with."I turned around and was about to walk out of the door but Alpha kept standing in his place with his eyebrows scrunched together slightly. "Wait," he said out of a sudden.I frowned while facing him with a confused look.He removed his hand from his

"Luna."I kept looking at Alpha Orion as he walked inside the restaurant thinking if he was really ashamed of being seen with me and brought me here just to stop Bernadette's questions. "Please call me Ruhee," I smiled at the man dressed in all black. He was not wearing formal like Alpha but was dressed in a leather jacket.It did not feel right to let him call me Luna because I was never going to be their Luna.We had to wait until the Alpha entered the glass door. I walked with Kai and two people greeted us near the door. Kai did not let me see them completely as he shielded me from their eyes. He signaled something saying incoherent and we were guided inside. The place was exactly how I imagined it to be with blinding lights and chandeliers with soft piano music. My eyes found Alpha Orion in no time. There were three people greeting him with smiles on their faces while the cold expression remained constant on Alpha's face. Two of them were men dressed in formals just like Alpha

"Some people were waiting for us, were you followed?" Alpha Orion asked Kai. I still had his arms wrapped around my body in a protective manner. "No," Kai answered looking here and there."They thought Luisa was Ruhee and killed her," Alpha said in a dead tone as his hold tightened around me."Who were they?""Couldn't tell but I managed to kill six of them."I pressed my lips in a thin line but said nothing. "It's not safe for you both to go from the main road."Alpha ran a hand through his hair with a scowl on his forehead."They might be searching for both of you in the town," Kai said in a low voice, "give me the car keys, I will drive your car and take them away. You both leave the town from the forest."A part of me was expecting Alpha Orion to object and say something about the safety of his gamma but he tossed the keys in response.I looked at him in surprise as Kai ran away without wasting another minute in front of us. "You just put your gamma's life in danger.""I trust

I was not expecting much, but the place before me was the last thing that could have come to my mind. We were out of the forest but the dark one-story building was not making me feel any better. It was hardly visible in the dark and normal human eyes could easily miss it at night. I could see the faint structure after focusing entirely. "Are you sure this place is safe?" I moved closer to Alpha Orion. I was not sure about rogues in the forest but I could sense if they wanted to stay somewhere it would be this place. "We don't have any other option and it's just for a few hours." I let out a shaky breath not seeing the point to argue with him. I was the reason we had to stay here, he could just shift into his wolf and run to pack but I could not turn into a werewolf because of which we were stuck in the haunted place. "Don't say anything in front of anyone." I nodded even though I was not planning to speak a word inside. I knew the place was dangerous and someone like me stood

"What was that earlier?"I knew the question was coming.I put on my best convincing smile, "I told you, I do not like new places. I have always lived in one place and this is all new for me."He kept looking at me with the same blank look, he was trying to see through my lies. he was trying to figure out what was really happening...but he could never find out the truth."You were trying to touch the wall.""I was just curious," I replied in a calm tone challenging the irritated tone of Alpha Orion.His eyebrows twitched slightly but luckily he did not ask any more questions.It was then I got the chance to finally look around, the room was dark. Even though a bulb was shining it could not provide enough light to brighten the small room.The smell was still present in the air and because of the nightmare, I was no longer thinking if it was just the rotting food. There was a scary silence in the room and the only sound that could be heard was of water droplets hitting the floor. It was
Last Updated : 2023-03-07Heart of blood and roses Behind the door
My eyes opened once again. Everything was still the same...the same darkness, the same bulb on the verge of death but still trying to lighten up the room, the same sound of water droplets hitting the ground but there was one thing different,I was alone in the room.I quickly got out of bed and walked toward the broken door. I knocked on it, "Alpha Orion, are you inside?"There was no response.I waited for a few seconds before opening it. No one was inside, my heart started beating loudly in my chest, I could feel the sweat forming on my forehead.Did he leave me alone in this place?What if he decided he did not want to wait here with me and I was just holding him back?I gulped as the various thoughts started swirling inside my head.I started looking around thinking about what I should do next when a whimpering sound fell into my ears.I stopped pacing around the room and froze in one place.At first, I thought my ears heard something wrong but it came again. Reluctantly I sta

"Are you hurt?"He was still on the ground but he was now staring at me, he was a werewolf.His eyes drifted to the man towering over us in a protective manner. Alpha was standing right behind me, challenging the man to make any wrong moves even though the man looked harmless."He looks fine, let's go...NOW."I ignored Alpha's words, a wrong move, and could easily get my life in danger. He could leave me with the man here to die but for some reason, my heart was not allowing me to leave the man on his own. "I have no words to thank both of you," the man thanked us in his frail voice that was barely audible, "but I am fine now, you should not stay here any longer because of me."I let out a breath not wanting to leave but knew I could not ask Alpha to take the man with us when we were not safe here either."Take care of yourself," I smiled at him before standing up to face a cold looking Alpha glaring at the poor man.He held my hand and started dragging me out of the room. He did no

"I should leave, thank you once again miss for showing me kindness and saving my life, if I could return the favor in this life I would not hesitate."I stood like a fool on the door frame, holding the door with one hand and the wall with another hand. "What did you just say?"He looked at me with a confused expression on his face. "I should leave, the rogue would not show mercy on me if he returned and you should be careful as well. They don't hesitate before killing anyone."I shook my head. I could not focus on what he was saying my entire focus was on what he had said earlier. It could not be a coincidence. His pack died 50 years ago and I know only one pack that vanished around the same time but there were no survivors. Maybe it was shot in the dark."No, about your pack."He blinked a few times, looking right and left in the corridor. "My pack was killed almost fifty years ago," he repeated once again in his frail voice. "Where did your pack reside?"He once again looked a

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

"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
