View MoreI hear my mother let out a sharp scream, then a piercing bang like an explosion before the car pirouettes off the road and starts tumbling straight to the forest. We start crying our lungs out with fear, my heart shot to my throat. I was still conscious of every little shutter of glass and clank of metal. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, shattered glass floating before my eyes. The car spins violently, tossing us back and forth. Then another outburst, invoking a brittle stop, causing me to hit my head hard. Soon everything died to silence and darkness betook me.
I was dizzy and confused above all things when I opened my eyes again. Everything seems to have blurred, sounds coming from a far distance, with only a high pitch noise in my ears. Almost as if I was completely growing deaf. My head pounding furiously, it felt like it would explode at any given moment.
I creeped out of the window, all the broken glasses slicing through my hands and knees. Seeing the thick grey smoke in the air, colorful lights that flashed around the car, and the pungent smell of molten red blood drips out of my wounds. My whole outfit glazed in red and my mouth filled with a coppery taste. I was beyond shocked, as I desperately search for my mother. My knees and my whole body felt so painful and weak, I couldn't stop shaking. Like I was hit by a bus, and it ran back and forth over my body countless times. The rain still hasn't stopped pouring. Drenching my beautiful pink dress with stains of blood.
Even with all the pain I wanted my mother. That's all I could think about.“Mom!!" I cried for my mother desperately balancing by the car for support. Tears gushing out of my eyes, I limp around the car searching, even though I was in agonizing pain. The slippery floor, and pouring rain making it even harder to move. I was shaking with fear and panic, as I couldn't understand anything that had happened. Soon I see my mother lying down in the pool of her own blood looking unconscious and my father kneeling besides her, I immediately knew something wasn't right. “Mom?“ I stumble towards them so scared and still confounded. I've never seen so much blood in my life, and it made my stomach twist into knots. I felt so weak, like I would pass out any moment. “ Mom….“ The terror and anger in my father's eyes, worried me.
But then I felt someone touching me, and pulling me away from the scene. “Nooo!!" I screamed, but they didn't let go. “Mom!!".
“Your mother will be fine. The doctors need to look at your wounds," they answer not allowing me to come to her. But I didn't want to hear that. I wanted to see her , I wanted to make sure she was going to be fine. “C'mon help me," I assume she was talking to someone else. I feel another pair of hands, both of them carrying me away from the scene. Even though I try to break free, it was impossible.
I didn't want anything bad happen to my mother.
I was too young and couldn't handle the pain of losing her. And too young to understand anything happening to me. I already hated life and it was not even worth it without my mother.
With all the fighting and screaming I believe I tired myself out. I woke up in the hospital instead, feeling all the pain I never felt earlier. But I wish I hadn't. Because that's when I heard the news about my mother. “Why her?“ I cried. The only person I've ever loved. 'Who did I wrong to deserve all this?'
The news seemed impossible and I didn't want to believe them. I didn't want to believe one of the strongest woman I know is gone like that. She's the Luna, and I've always known her as the most powerful women I've ever met, but importantly — very loving. Yet she's gone. Like that, taken away from me.
I didn't want to believe there's nothing I can do about it. That she can't be saved.
Yet I had to accept that she's dead and is no longer a part of my life. But I don't want accept that I can live the rest of my life without her by my side.
Who's going to love me like she did? Who will comfort me like she did? Who will take care of me? When she was the only family I had. I needed her with everything in me.
And I had made my decision, that I won't continue without my her in my life. I won't continue to live with the all the pain in my heart. I only wanted her. She's the one to comfort me when times are rough, but she was not here to. But I was determined to follow her. I knew she wouldn't be far, and we will go and continue our lives together. I wanted nothing else than to be with her. And I knew there was only one way.
That night I sneaked out of the hospital and into the woods. Everyone was still in shock, and pain, none of them were paying attention to what I was doing. This was a great opportunity for me to get away from everything.
My plan was to throw my self from the huge waterfall, that ran down our territory. The river is what divides from the rogue territory.
But all I remember is standing in front of huge black wolf. A wolf that I was to young to fight. I tried to get away. I knew they were dangerous and not from this pack. They looked deadly and smelt as such.
But my attempts were futile when he caught and threw me against a tree. With that an excruciating scream came out of my mouth and everything suddenly went silent.
All in all, I don't know how I survived the attack. Why the didn't even tear into peaces, like they are known to.
All I know is that my life has never been the same ever since.
My name is Natasha and this is my story.
Lisa's POV I can't believe it. I'm married. I'm starting my life as someone else's wife. How interesting. And I'm so angry learning that this was all a scheme to use me against Ethan. “This place is beautiful isn't it?" Lisa admires the room we were standing in. “Are you still mad at me?" She questions when she hears no response from me. “Lisa you didn't even tell me that this was all a stupid plan to mess around with... Him. Do you understand what that means for me? He will hate me. To be honest, I'd hate me too. How do even expect this to work?" I beckon in a harsh voice as I feel outrage. “Natasha please calm down. I'm just trying to help both of us, “ she softens her voice trying to calm my anger. But I am so angry at for not telling me about. At least I'd know what I'm doing, than be kept in the dark. " Helping!? Tell me Lisa? How will you help us, when he attacks me at night and strangles to death? Will you able to stop him? “ I invoke her thinking. “He's not going to kill
Ethan's POVI find it hard to believe I was convinced to do this. Why am I so sure that this is a bad idea?“You look grumpy for a man who's getting married tomorrow," Storm comments. As if that's not a good enough reason for me kill someone. Suddenly my phone rings and I reach to pick it up. I see Micah on the caller, and wonder why he decided to call me. “Yes..." I groan resting the phone on my ear. “Change of plans—”" What do you mean change of plans? I thought you were supposed to find more information about this stupid woman, “ I frown. Maybe I can find something good enough to put an end to this stupid wedding. Hopefully silence the Elders too. " I mean I can't continue with my mission. Something came up. Haven't you heard already? “ He responds. How would I hear anything when I'm stuck in this suffocating place." What? What happened? “ I implore demanding answers. " Club Demacia was attacked, “ he says. His words are shocking. I didn't know rogues attacked clubs. " Rog
Natasha POVFinally the day of my wedding came. And I've been praying it doesn't. I'm just questioning everything. Why am I even doing this? Just so many unanswered questions lingering in my mind. Maybe if I had my wolf things wouldn't be so complicated. I never paid mind to the fact that I still haven't shifted yet. I supposed to have shifted years ago, but somehow I way past that dead line. And it never bothered me, but now I think I see the reason why I need my wolf. Our wolves are our voice of reason. At least I know many things would have been explained. I would have someone to explain to me whether I'm making the right decisions or not. But without her, it's very hard to tell. Especially when I don't know who to trust, and who to avoid. Who's the wolf clothing in sheep skin? And I still don't understand why would the Alpha agree to this. I would think an Alpha is smart enough to marry a stranger he's never met before. Couldn't he just refuse? Does he trust his father that mu
Ethans POV:I enter the study and looked glared at the mountain of files that await my attention.Reminding me of all the paperwork I'm left to do. I find my chair. I open my Laptop quickly () through my emails. I frown when I see an email from William with subject: " We've found you another bride".I couldn't understand why they are this tenacious in getting me together with some random women, all wrapped in a story of how a Pack needs its Luna in for it to thrive, even when I'm certain that my pack and I are doing exceptionally well .I delete the email with the email without even taking time to read. I already know it's gonna be a long assay explaining how perfect their bride easy, as if I'm interested. I pinch the bridge of my nose as clannish irateness accumulates inside me. It's clear as day that these people are trying to get under my skin. It's like they want to see me crush and burn? Trying to bring out the worst in me. Even punching bags are no longer working as effective
Lisa's POV. After I had tried to convince the elders. They managed to listen to me and take my story. Soon I convinced them to convince Ethan's Beta. Because I already heard they are best friends. And if they pressure him enough, he might convince Ethan to get married.And soon after, an Email from Ethan saying that he will get married. And now as it seems everything is going according to plan. Now I can only hope for the best. ****After hours of convincing, Natasha finally agreed. And the wedding is happening as soon as the next morning. “Where's your girl," William's wife Molly, asks as she sees me approaching. “She will be arriving a little bit late," I say. “Remember she still needs her wedding dress, “ I remind her. " Hopefully she doesn't run away, “ she mutter. I almost want to roll my eyes. " We should be preparing for the wedding. And hope that the groom shows up, “ I respond. We follow each other to the small garden where everyone is gathered. They were already decora
Lisa's POV: Two days earlier. Today the club is packed. The loud music shaking the whole building. Drunk people, in every corner. Just enjoying or rather trying to destroy their lives. Even with the crazy wig and extreme makeup I still hope no one can see me. It's very dangerous working at the club, there are so many people, and there's a good chance Harold's man or Neacal's are around here. But even so. Me and Natasha, we still need the money to survive. Hiding won't help if the stomach is empty. I have to make sure we have some money to spare. I move around the club, serving the drinks. Trying so hard not to spill them as I push through the crowd. And trying to keep focus with all the screaming. “... They want him to get married," I hear a few man gossiping. “ And they are choosing the bride for him..." “ What's the point? Ethan has rejected every bride they chose for him. The man just doesn't want to settle down.“ " But you know the elders always get what they want. Or else
In the darkness words definitely came like a stroke of lighting. The soft expression in his face didn't breath any threat but he's still a random stranger forcefully holding a girl in a dark alley. “Why should I trust you?" I still attempt to push him away, but his grip is too strong. Like a steel wall embodied in front of me. “Because we are trying to protect you from Lisa. She's a witch, and she would do anything to get what she wants. That's the reason she betrayed Neacal. That's why she kidnapped you when you were just a little girl. You can't trust a witch. There's a reason why we don't get along with the , “ he says. His words shock me beyond understand . I don't even know what to think. A random stranger or my own friend. " Are you really going to trust a rogue witch over your own family? “ he adds to convince me. But I thought Lisa is my best friend. This can't be true. " But...“" She's only been feeding you lies. Natasha think about. She stole you from us" he persues his
At this moment I should be looking for the wedding dress, while I hope Lisa does her job. And hopefully she doesn't get caught, because that's what we can't afford at this moment. I move around searching for Corpora Events, a wedding dress retail store that Lisa had directed me to visit. Because they told her it's where I would most likely find a good dress. After asking around I found it was on the other side. I had to pass a short alley to get through. Why are they hiding? Something just never seize to amaze me. Finally I found it and when I walk inside I was so astonished at the sight. It's huge and glamorous in every aspect. Every dress you could dream off, in every color. 'Wow, this is every brides dream.' And it's no surprise the number of people moving around. And I'm not angry anymore with all the search, because I'm impressed with what I see. It almost makes it worth it. I couldn't stop looking about, like a lost puppy. My eyes wondering everywhere. “Excuse me mam..." I h
“ Why would he agree to marry someone like me anyways? I'm rogue and wolfless," I question wrapping a towel around my wet body.“ He doesn't know you're a rogue. And the elders don't really mind. They believe you're a good match for him," she responds. I snort, as for good match. A bunch of old man matchmaking, that's interesting. “Are you sure he won't notice? And why the elders think I'm good for this? I'm not strong enough for the role anyways. Why a weak Luna?" I ask, already drying myself and puting on some lotion. “ He will notice, but I'm sure it shouldn't be that much of a problem. And the elders? They took a little bit of convincing but I finally got them on our side , “ she argues. I wonder what did she tell them? Did she use hypnosis or something. Though she's been refusing to tell me anything about her deal and this so called Council. After putting on my dress, I walk over to Lisa who's already waiting for me. “You look stunning!" she claims, cheerfully swinging her arm
