83|Losing Me
~Rory~
Dark clouds loomed over Salvatore Hills. It was an ordinary day, gloomy and melancholy. It’s as if the sky was also mourning my death.
Concealed in the tree line bordering Salvatore Hills cemetery, Elijah tightened his hold on my hand.
“My love.”
I threw him a sideways glance, smiling. “I’m good, Elijah.”
He kept asking me how I’ve been doing since yesterday, worried about how his plans would affect me. Staging my death was the easy part; staying dead was the hardest.
With my heightened senses, it breaks my heart to see my friends cry while surrounding a casket with a Jane Doe’s body in it. Elijah used his persuasion abilities

~Rory~“Stop staring at me like that,” I groaned, keeping my eyes focused on Elijah’s private jet window.Yes. He has his private jet, not one, but two. It shouldn’t surprise me anymore. He lived a longer life than most people. He had a lot of spare time to make money. Being the supernatural being that he is, with his abilities, he could’ve just taken advantage of every situation presented to him, but he didn’t. Elijah actually owns legal businesses with employees and all.He uses different names, of course, but still, his honesty is refreshing. And the fact that he was never boastful about it only adds to my admiration for him.He looked away, sipping his glass of whiskey.We are seated si

~Rory~Elijah draped an arm over my shoulder, tucking me on his side, preventing me from attacking Iz.Iz raised a perfectly plucked brow, but I kept my hard gaze on her, waiting for her to mumble a smartass remark.My eyes were glowing. I could feel the rage coursing through my veins. This must be the side effect of whatever Agata did to me. I have very little control over my emotions these days, which is so unlike me.“What room are they keeping Loren?” Elijah threw a question at Iz.“Room 11,” she said, tipping her head to the elevator hoistway. “Alfonso instructed all guests to be placed at level 5.”Elijah’s body went rigid. “He

~Rory~Obviously, the in-and-out plan is not plausible because of my miscalculation. Jumping back up where we came from was not possible anymore.We are four floors underground, and each level is swarming with vampires hungry for our blood.Looking up, the elevator hoistway door opened one by one. My bullet greeted each head that peeked into the opening. One bullet, one head.Elijah fought the vampires who emerged from the fourth level in hand to hand combat. When he was done, he pulled the gun from my waistband and started firing. If I foresaw this from happening, I would’ve brought the assault rifle I stockpiled for killing vampires and werewolves.I cursed as my beretta’s hammer hit its last bullet.

~Rory~My muscles begged for a breather, and my lungs pleaded for rest, but as they say, there was no rest for the wicked. If we take a moment to breathe, we’d be dead in a beat. In the afterlife, we could have the rest we needed. But we won’t go down that easily.The stench of blood wafts in the air.Elijah was yet to recover from his injuries, but he didn’t slow down. We fought harder than our enemies because we had a lot at stake. They were merely following orders while we were fighting for our survival.Five vampires down, five more to go. They pushed us back into the corner with nowhere to run. In the middle of the chaos, Loren took a blow on her shoulder. She’s now leaning on the wall for support. Elijah's and I’s clothes were drenched

~Rory~‘Aurora…’It has been three days since we buried Loren’s body in the Vitale estate, but I can’t force myself to read the letter we took from her pocket. It was the same letter she shoved in my pocket in her cell.We can’t give her a proper funeral since we have no way of staging her death-like what we did with Andrew and me. How could I forgive myself for bringing such pain to her? Loren might not be the sweetest mother, but she never made me feel any less loved.She was a victim, and I am the reason she was inserted into this chaotic battle between supernatural beings.We burned down club Lira before leaving New York after killing every vampire on the premises. Including Iz. Elijah
Hellbound: The Last Tribute   89|The Day Before
~Rory~Located near the Arctic Circle, in the city called Oymyakon, lies the entrance of Sapiro. In winter, the temperature averages around -58°F, only about 500 people brave the chill, an ideal place for concealing the supernatural world.Once we stepped through the portal, the chill was no more replaced by the humid weather. Sapiro was just like how it was two thousand years ago, at least that’s how I remember it, hot and sunny. We gathered on the other side of the castle, concealed in the mountain range.Elijah, Henry, Nolani, Ali, and I met the alphas of werewolf packs who lived in Sapiro, but pledged their loyalty to Elijah. Tayen and Jace will follow soon after ensuring that Tauri will no longer be a problem for us.“He is family,” Tayen told
Hellbound: The Last Tribute   90|The Morning
~Rory~The entire kingdom was on high alert since Orme’s death. It was heavily guarded in and out. The guards have doubled in number. We have been expecting this to happen. Wolves and vampires lurk around the palace, but Elijah and Henry’s knowledge of the secret passage had been a great help in planning our attack.The first and crucial part of our plan is getting into our designated position before the first signal of the war breaks.Each werewolf pack led by its alpha will strike from the outside in order to drag out enough guards away from the palace. Nolani and Henry lead the group that will hit the castle from the inside. Elijah and I will be in the heart of it all. We have to find Greco and eliminate him, which will signal the end of this war.Sounds e

~Rory~I should be grateful that our target was still in the castle’s vicinity. He’s still within our reach. Elijah planned to fight Greco face-on. There will be modifications, but the plan could still work.Behind me, Elijah growled a string of profanities. The three of them continued pouncing on the barrier. Until they find a way to break the wardings, I am on my own.“I am not your queen,” I said, cementing my feet firmly on the ground.Greco’s stance, command power, dominance, and he looked at me like I was a meat and he had been starved for a century.He closed his eyes, sniffing in the air, hissing like he was fighting off an urge. “You shifted. You are a lycan.” He was me
