I fell to my knees not believing what I am seeing. I was dreaming, right? I remember the dream I had but it was just a dream, I did not know anymore, but what I did know is that I had to get Rebecca here as soon as possible. Where Hailey was hanging on the X, I tried to get to her, but it was as if I could not move. In that dream she was also badly hurt and then the blue light took her. Now I saw it again, her hanging badly hurt and the blue light. As if something hits me I came back to my senses and my body reacts. I ran, fell, and stumbled upstairs to get to my cell phone in a rush.“Hi, there and how are you doing? How is Hailey? Has she spoken yet?” I hear Rebecca’s voice on the other side. “She…I…Please…You…” I was so in shock at what has happened that my words could not come out in one sentence. “Hi, hold on. Take it slow and tell me what is wrong” Rebecca sounded concerned and she should be.“I… I do not know, please you have to come to help her she is dying, and I think I
I could have known, wolfsbane was the only thing that would have made her wolf so weak as not to help her. A wolf would always do everything in its power to protect the human side. Then was the thing about the black magic that I noticed on her as well as in Serafino. As Serafino sticks his head into the room again, Hailey’s body tenses and this just confirms my suspicion, that she was indeed scared of him. Staying here would not help her heal.“I am taking her home,” I can see him looking at her and then again at me, saying nothing but with a look of total despair just leaving the room again. “Come, Hailey, I am going to take you home,” I say as I take her hand seeing her opening her eyes.I can not ask Stef to carry her, so I have to hope she will be able to walk on her own with me helping her.“Hailey, if I help you, do you think that you would be able to walk?” my voice filled with concern. “Yes…Yes…I think so” she says with almost a whisper. As she tries to get up, I help her b
“Hailey, Hailey where are you” I could hear a voice but it sounded far away like someone was looking for me but I could not see anyone. I was in what looked like a very old house. All the windows were broken and the door to the room I was in was also broken. I tried to move but something was holding me back, looking down I could see that I was tied to a chair.“Hailey, Hailey where are you” I heard the voice again, this time it sounded as if it was in my head. Around me, there was a blue light twirling like lights on a dance floor but on the floor, it made a shape of a circle. I could not see what the image of the thing was but it almost looked like a dragon. I heard another voice, this time it was inside the room.“The bind will be broken and you will die” A witch-like laughter sounded and made a chill crawl down my spine. You know that feeling you watch a scary movie like ‘Chucky’. I feel my feet getting wet and what I saw was blood but not mine, it was coming from something that
Walking back to my apartment, I decided that I will leave, go somewhere nobody knew me. I heard that New Orleans was nice, maybe I must try it. I still had some money left, well enough to probably get there, then I will just have to find a job again. As I enter the apartment, I see that Rebecca is not there, well that’s for the better as I did not want her to know where I was going. I was cutting ties with everything in my old life. Packing my bags, I wowed again that now it was me and I will make myself happy. I got a piece of paper and write a quick note to her, Dear Rebecca Thank you for everything that you have done for me. I value your friendship.I will be leaving and will not be returning to Mist Mountains. Please do not tell anyone of my departure as I do not want anyone looking for me. With what happened over the past few days I think it is better if I just leave. Everybody can then go on with their lives as they want without me being the barrier that holds them back. Th
Brian’s POVIt has been a week since I banned Hailey from the pack and Lucy has recovered from her injuries and has moved into my room. But somehow, I still feel lost. Do not get me wrong. I am so happy to have Lucy with me but yet Cayden has not communicated with me this whole week. It is as if he refuses to talk to me no matter how hard I try. He stays at the back. The days I work in my office while Lucy takes duties as Luna, next week I will be announcing her formally as Luna at a ball that we are giving. But I hear her screaming at the omega’s. Shaking my head, I just keep working. She is busy with the ceremony and I think the stress of getting everything perfect is taking its toll on her, but the wolves must learn that she is here to stay as their Luna. My hatred towards Hailey and that brother of mine has not been on my mind too much, but I do not want to see them ever. There would be some times that one of the wolves would say her name, and I would reprimand them. Her name is
Then the scene changes to a room. Hailey is sitting on a chair, chained and looking almost dead, head hanging forward. Around her, there was so much blood, she had slashes on her wrists. I wanted to get to her, but as I stepped forward to help, a blue light shined around her, and then Lucy’s face appeared, telling me that she was the one that was turning the pack apart. Making them hate me because I did not choose what the Moon Goddess gave me but what I wanted.I then woke up and the sadness would be back, but as if she knew Lucy would touch my cheek and the feeling disappeared. *The following week. *This is the week when everything will change. Lucy is sitting in the launch with the interior designer finalizing the ball, where she will be announced as Luna. She had gone to the extreme with everything. I have never spent this much money on any event. But seeing her happy was all I wanted. I saw the looks that the wolves were giving me but I, as Alpha, had the final say and whateve
Serafino’s POV It had been four days since Rebecca had taken Hailey to her apartment. I have been going out of my mind trying to figure out what could have happened that I would have done that to my angel. I phoned Rebecca every morning and night to check in on Hailey, but every time I got the same answer, that she was still in her bed and did not want to talk or even eat was a problem. Rebecca also told me that she had heard that Hailey had been throwing up in the mornings. Were her injuries that bad but, as a wolf, she should have healed by now, or was there something else that was keeping her from healing as she should? I should ask Rebecca about this. “Why did you do this,” I screamed as I cleaned up the playroom. I could not take it that this was the place where I did the things I did. I wanted nothing to do with this anymore. After taking down the X, I smashed it, taking all my anger out on it. I twisted the iron as if it was paper, throwing it against the wall. I took each d
Just as before, then the scene changed. Hailey is sitting on a chair, chained and looking almost dead, her head hanging forward. She was pale with dry blood around her on the floor, there was so much blood, she had slashes on her wrists. She looks up with an effort and tries to look me in the eye. Her one eye was swollen shut. Her lip had a cut, and even her soft curly hair was a mess. It was dirty, and she looked abused. Was it me? Was this what I did to her? No, Rebecca said that she was getting better. Looking around, I saw that I was standing in an old abandoned house. Its windows were shattered with curtains that were torn. It had a foal smell, almost like something was busy rotting. “Why did you do this to me? What did I do, that you hate me this much?” she said with a hoarse voice. I wanted to get to her, all I wanted to do was protect her, take her in my arms and tell her how sorry I was for what I had done, but as I stepped forward to help, a blue light shone around her. The
Hailey’s POV“Hi, that’s mine. Mum, Isabella has taken my paintbrush again”. Conri was running towards me. At 2 years old, he looks more like a 5-year-old. Even with paint on his face, you could see the resembling figures of Serafino. Yes, that is right.You see the twins were a boy and a girl. Serafino was the father of our boy (Conri) and Brian was the father of our girl (Isabella). They were born 2 minutes after each other. They were the most beautiful babies, happy and content. We moved into the pack house after the birth of the twins.“But Mum, anty Rebecca said that he must clean up as she is taking us for ice cream”. Isabella was standing with the paintbrush in her hand and a bright smile on her face.“Isabella, give back your brother’s paintbrush and Conri go get cleaned you look a painting yourself.”I was in the kitchen making some sandwiches for the pack warriors that were busy training with Brian and Serafino.“Isabella, have you finished your riding, and have you brushed d
Brian and Serafino look at each other. Pups? After Dr. Eagle left. There was a moment when it felt as if they both were in a dream. Serafino’s POV I looked at Brian with a questioning look. “Pups, you heard that also, right? Hailey is pregnant?” I could not believe my ears. I must have dreamed it. “Nope, I heard it as well. Who do you think is the father?” Brian looked at me and I know he hoped it was him. Well, I have news for him. I hoped it was me. I wonder if she knew she was pregnant and that that was what she wanted to tell us. Again, looking at her, she looked pale and just lying there so vulnerable and I just wanted to take her in my arms and make all the hurt go away. But I knew that all I could do now was to stay by her side and make sure that she has the best medical care and if she needs extra attention to get over the trauma, then that as well. My mind started to wonder about the pups. What were they, two boys, two girls, or one of each? In my heart, I wished for two
Hailey’s POVIt felt wonderful, they would be the best of friends, but I just wished I knew what they were. But Athena did not want to tell me. Urg, she was such a pest sometimes, but I now knew that without her I was nothing.Sitting just wondering what Cindy was up to now and how long I had before she would be back to kill me, I heard something that sounded like a door opening but it was not the door to this room, it sounded more like a front door or one coming from the outside.“They are here, they are here!!” Athena was screaming in my head. Who?“Cayden and Serafino, stupid! They are here, we are saved”. She was jumping up and down like a child that saw her favorite cartoon hero in person.But then nothing. I could not hear anything after that.“Are you sure it was them? If it was where are they?” I asked her.“I do not know, but I am very sure it was them. I could feel Cayden.” She sounded a little down, noticing that they were not storming into the room looking for us. Then I h
“I just do not know how we are going to get near enough to get inside before Cindy spots us” Brian looked at Serafino and hoped he had a plan or, well, even a suggestion could work because he had nothing. All he could think was to get in, get Hailey and rip that bitch into very small pieces.As they get nearer the house, Rebecca stops them.“Something is happening, we need to move now! I can feel the energy coming from the house.” She looks around but there is no place they could hide to get in.“I can do a cloaking spell but I will have to use one of you as an energy source. She looks to Brain and Serafino for who it will be. Just then, Pedro steps up and stands before her.“You can use me, they need to be able to move without being attached to you” Rebecca looks at him and just shakes her head in a yes. She knew he was just a normal wolf but his energy would probably be enough to get Brian and Serafino near enough before they are detected.As she takes his hand, she can feel a very
Hailey’s POV My brain was still coming to terms that I was pregnant with two babies, and I felt a sting in my heart. They did not even know that they would be fathers. Will they accept them as it was from both and well “hello enemies”? But then I remember how they had not shown that side when we were together making love. It was just us, no differences, no jealousy, just three people enjoying the art of love, and it was magical. How would I be able to tell them now? Then I remember the pendant that Mrs. Colby gave me in my back pocket. For some reason, when I left the apartment I grabbed it, not wanting it to be left behind. She told me that when I felt alone, I could just touch the pendant and think of them and I would not feel alone anymore, and that is what I needed now. I needed them close. My only problem was that it was in my back pocket and my hands were tied to the chair. Just as I was about to lose hope, the door opens and a guy with a mug of water comes in. He does not spe
Third person’s POV Brian, Serafino, and Rebecca were just standing there while James smashed the couch. All of them still had the same question in their minds. Whose blood was on the floor as none of them were hurt? Was it just an image like she was, or was it Hailey’s blood? And if so, what the hell is happening? “I should have known something was wrong with the bitch when she came to me the first time looking for work. I had a bad feeling but then just shacked it off as nothing. Even when she so quickly told Hailey or Hope, whatever her real name is, to come and live with her. I should have noticed something. I was so caught up in the fact that she was so beautiful and that I just wanted her to fall for me, that I did not think of anything else. I am a goddamn Alpha and should have used that power to feel danger, but no” Brian growls at his confession, Serafino’s eyes turned red and Rebecca stands ready to keep both of them back, should they want to rip him apart. But James did n
Brian’s POV Walking straight into the bar, we saw James and another guy talking. They also have a New Orleans map pointing to some places. Looking at us, I could see that the other guy was the cabby that asked us if we wanted a ride to the city when we arrived. I knew there was something at the time I saw him in the cab, a feeling, but that stubborn brother of mine had to get his way and so we did not ask him as we should have. Maybe we would have had a quicker solution to finding Hailey. “James,” Serafino said as we approached them. I could feel the tension in the bar, especially from that bar lady. She knew something. Standing there waiting for Serafino to get to the point, I looked around. Coming here, neither I nor Cayden had that feeling that she was near, like the last time. Then what Mrs. Colby said come back to me. “I am here to tell you that she has Hailey, the Black Lady has her and your time is limited. She has her cloaked and the only way that you will be able to find h
Hailey’s POV Opening my eyes, I see that I am not in the forest anymore but in a very run-down living room. The smell that came from the room was awful. The windows were broken and the curtains were thorny. It feels as if my head is going to burst and I do not have any strength in me to even move. Where was this place? I could feel that I was bounded to the chair. Hearing the door open, I looked up. Even that was an effort; my head felt like it was weighing a ton. My vision was blurry but I could see a figure approaching me. As it came near, I recognized the lady. CINDY! What the hell, is she here to save me? But then I heard her laugh and knew that that was not it. “Well…well. You are awake. It took you long enough. I have been waiting for you. I want to tell you everything I will be doing to you, so you know. It is for a good cause. You see I am a nice person, aren’t I?” She said, but I did not have it in me to react and I could see that this just infuriated her. Why would she d
Serafino’s POV After I had a talk with Michael and rested, I went and got some blood from the fridge. It was deer blood and it was nice and chilling. Standing and sipping it, Rebecca enters the kitchen. “Hi, I love what you did to the place, but my favorite is this fridge. It is awesome,” she says as she takes out one of the human blood bags. I had a contact at the local blood bank and they gave me the blood that, for some reason, could not be used. I was not the kind that liked to milk humans just to get my fix. With this, Brian also arrives and just looks at us with a disgusted look in his eyes. “What, you eat raw meat in wolf form, don’t you?” Rebecca says and turns to leave. Those two, she does not like him much. I think it is because he treated Hailey not like a mate should and Rebecca was very emotional about mates or fated lovers. “I have talked to Michael. He had some very interesting news regarding that guy at the bar, James. He called him” Both Rebecca and Brian go sit
