Gripping the tree tightly until I felt his rough stem cutting my palm making them bleed. I hated the truth, now more than ever.
Listening to their conversation and gazing at the face of my mate, I felt worse.
It was good for now that Xavier or any other person couldn't smell me. After these purple lines have appeared, which were now creeping up my chest and down my thighs, I wasn't able to be mind link or smelled by anyone.
Every wolf has a different unique scent and other wolves could find him or her by their smell. But it seemed like I had lost mine after being marked as the next server of powers to the king of monsters.
Cautiously I moved back, away from my brother and mate before breaking into a run.
Walking in the house I sat on the couch still processing everything. Was it true? I didn't want to accept it because I already have too much burden for me to handle and I have to accept that there were already too many difficulties in my
The cold nights were cold but why would they make me feel lonely? The winter could never be hot but why I was sweating? It's said that your heart beats fast when you are near someone to who you are attracted to but my heart was going from fast to slow. "Xavier, what are you doing here?" I inquired while ignoring his question. I didn't know if it was because of him I was feeling dizzy, my body felt like on fire or not. The heat within me was causing sweat to roll down my face like shiny balls. "I just came to talk to you but tell me what you were saying was true?" His voice seemed normal, not a tint of anger or hate. 'Let's do it, just tell him the truth Stella, and be done with It.' I encouraged myself because my wolf had once again gone somewhere, as she wasn't answering me. ".....Yes," I replied waiting for his reaction but there wasn't any. Not even a muscle moved before he said with shock filling his voice. "Why didn't you use it b
When the sun is covered and light has gone, darkness took over, that time when darkness rule is the time you are doomed. But for me what was darkness? The black color? Or the person who swallows others' happiness? I would say for me I was the darkness, the one who was putting everyone in danger. The darkness with a crown of doom, destined to gulp others peace just like a glass of water leaving them empty. "You belong to me, every inch of your powers is to serve me. You can't do anything to stop me from taking what's mine." The deep voice said. I was perspiring as hell, my skin felt like it was burning. My eyes couldn't see anything properly, everything was a blur as I sat on the rocky hot floor. "I will come soon." I couldn't say anything even if I wanted to. It was like my lips have been sealed. I tried as much as I could to rebel against him but all I could do was nothing other than to sit there listening to the voice. "H
I sighed while plopping down on the sofa, after having a nice conversation with Adrian which wasn't related to the mate thing, I was back at the home. "You are here." I turned to find Alex walking out, he had not so good appearance. His hair was messed up and he had large bags under his eye. His eyes were showing how tired he was as he walked with his back having a bend. His hands were holding a packet of chips that I kept hidden for myself. "What are you doing here?" I raised my brow, knowing very well that he should have been sleeping instead of coming here. After Oliver had disappeared into a thin air and the old Alpha died, Alex had a lot on his to-do list. He not only has to monitor which wolf was doing what work but also the places that were checked and Oliver wasn't there. I remembered Antonio saying the name of the place where I was held as a prisoner and I have told them about that place too. The group of wolves gone there hadn'
"Can you hold it for a second?" She questioned on which I narrowed my eyes staring at the weapon suspiciously before moving near her. Taking the weapon I breathed loudly while trying not to fall over on the ground. I felt like I have been dropped in the hell and not a rock but a big mountain had seated itself above me. "W-What the fuck is this?" I wobbled backward near the door. As the girl moved towards me while wiping her forehead that was wet with the dropped of her sweat. "A cursed knife no maybe golden blood or the light in dark." I frowned not understanding which one was its name and what was the other two things. Was answering a question another question? "I think this thing won't have three names or do it?" I raised a brow uncertainly on which she shook her head muttering 'I don't know'. "What happened to you!? And what is this?" Mia asked walking near me with a worried face. "N-Nothing." I balanced myself before continuing, "A
What was more frustrating than reacting to what you heard and being angry? Well, it was not showing any emotion. Pretending as if nothing happened and being all okay. Which Wasn't good! Not for me cause it was making me worried. "Hey, Stella what are you doing?" Xavier came to sit beside me. The only difference between him right now was that he kept a good distance between us. I knew he remembered everything that happened yesterday but why was he acting normal. "Just drop this act, Xavier." I sighed because it was too much for me to handle. "What?" He looked confused as I said that out of nowhere. "Stop pretending that nothing happened, ignoring the truth. We have to talk about what happened yesterday." I told him on which he stared down for a while before saying. "But I don't want to. I just want to for-" "You can't because that's true and believe me I think it's good if you accept that because in future a lot gonn
I sighed while searching through another book about some spell or information about something like what was happening with Oliver. I was a witch but not a good one who would remember a lot of spells and would know the history of witches so I didn't know from where to look for the answer to my questions therefore I was going through all the grimoires that were kept on the table by Scarlet. Currently, Mia and I were at the old witch's house going through many grimoires for any help in Gemma's case. "Are you sure there isn't a way that you know?" I glanced up at the lady who had a warm sweater and loose furry trousers with her hairs put in a bun. "There is nothing like this that I have ever come across. As I just read from one of these books, there has never been a direct bond between the master of the monster and some other creature. But there was mentioned that one day a child of his who will have his blood will come." Closing my eyes I exhaled loudly
History didn't tell this but who knew if the history teller even knew this. A weapon that was made after killing four warriors was a ritual that caused a lot of destruction but the outcome was way too good. A small yet powerful thing that could bring even a devil to its knee. A thing that was unique in many ways and one of them was communicating to someone who the knife thought would be using it. And didn't know if it was a good or bad thing but the knife had communicated to me which meant I was gonna use it. But when? "You mean the knife told you that it is in danger that they are coming for it?" Mia asked who came in with the old witch and I think it was good she was here too. "Yeah, I don't know if I was hallucinating but it felt too real to be just a dream." I sat up slowly and asked both of them to sit. **** "You weren't, because of the way you are explaining it, it can't be a lie." She frowned as I licked my lips
I sat with my head in my hands and my mind lost in thoughts. There were thousands of scenarios forming in my mind but none of them were going in a nice direction. For the first time, I didn't believe what we would do was anything near good. I couldn't bring myself to do this but seeing there was no other way Sophia had accepted to do this and wanted me to have trust in Scarlet, in this plan. "Don't think too much about this, kiddo. We will be there if in case Gemma won't act as we have planned and something unexpected happened." Sebastian patted my shoulder as I sighed. "The least surprising that can happen is Oliver harming his mate cause there are a lot of chances of that and the most shocking thing can be that going there is just what Blade and his followers had wanted," I replied to my friend who frowned. "What do you mean, he had planned this? So that we would go there?" It might be just my thinking but I felt like it's true. "What if the
Alex pov *Every event in this chapter occurred before Stella arrived in the pack. The event happened a long time before the scene that happened at the start of the story occurred. 'Would you stop, please?' I said irritatedly while throwing the pen in my hand on the table as I couldn't focus on work, not with the wolf of mine rambling incoherently and pacing without any rest. 'But why? Why I'm feeling this way? Perhaps something is-' I blocked him out and massaged my forehead. Ruffling my long hairs that were falling messily on my forehead, I stood up and cleaned the table. Hearing a knock on the door I looked up to find Xavier, the Alpha, also my friend standing there waiting for me to say something. "Come in, you know you don't need permission to come in." He smiled, taking a seat on the couch while staring around he finally after some time spoke up. "What's the matter, Alex? You seemed worried and different from yesterday. Is everyth
"Mom isn't he cute?" The excited girl, who would particularly jump on the kid and would play with him if got the chance, stared at me with a big smile. "Hmm." I hummed not paying attention to my daughter while trying to control the odd feeling as if I would vomit anytime. 'Not again! Why does it always happen to me?' I had one hand holding my child while the other one was on my chest. "Is everything alright?" Sophia asked as I nodded lightly not wanting her to worry about this small thing because I was used to having this vomiting session at the wrong time and place. "I was getting bored at home alone, it's good that you came, Stella." I smiled, it was the same with me, but the main reason for which I came here was my daughter who would keep asking me to take her to the baby. "Alexandria just wanted to meet the baby and look how happy she is looking right now." A smile touched my lips as I started at the girl whose green eyes, just l
This must be my end, I would die just like that. I should have thought about some plan if things might go downhill but no, ugh! idiot me. I had my legs pressed against my stomach as the pain was increasing every second while my hands involuntarily flew to my face. 1 2 3..... I kept on counting but nothing happened, nothing came my way. I was still breathing and was in my body. A growl made me open my eyes as I saw my mate, fully dressed, had his mother's back against the tree with him holding her hands. "How dare you, mom? You first betrayed me, helped that guy knowing I would be in trouble, my life at risk but you didn't care, and now....you trying to kill my mate." He was looking at the lady. I whimpered because of the pain and tried to sit in which my two friends beside me helped me. "That needs to be done, son. And I won't let him take your life-" "You are taking my life by your hands! What
People think they are ready for the sun to dawn but when that happens they wish they would have gotten some more time. The same goes for any other thing cause every creature is greedy for one or another thing. They want more of it. Here it was happening the same to me, I thought for a long time that I was ready to face Blade and his followers but now my heart was pounding and the fear of what would happen overtook me. I wanted to think that everything would be okay just like my plan I would die with Blade and everyone else would be fine. But that wasn't the scene, one innocent life would be going other than the two of us and I couldn't find a way to save it. I remembered how worried Alex looked when he told me just what had happened at the border. "It's here, the war had broken out. Vampires and Witches, double or triple than our people had attacked us. Xavier had called for other packs who had allied with us and I gotta go there too." I gazed a
Some things just have to be done and so doing it before was better than later. Truthfully, I didn't know if I should keep any work for later cause who know I was alive right now but might be dead just a second after now. Walking near the room where Oliver was I asked my brother to open the door as it was locked. No one liked this, locking Gemma in a room, but everyone was afraid that Blade might come for him or take over him and so the Alpha had to do this. Even when after knowing that this lock or wolves guarding the door or anything else couldn't stop Blade from doing what he wanted, people of this pack still wanted to do this. Just for their mind peace maybe. Thinking back to yesterday, what happened with me in the hospital when Sophia turned out to be Blade, was way too horrible. I would still shiver thinking how odd and creepy that scene was. Shaking my thoughts I walked into the normal-sized room to find the male's figure curled up in the bed. His
"W-who are you?" Even when I was not at all afraid of him, I knew it was Blade hiding behind Sophia's face, I stuttered because of the bad feeling spreading within me cause of how his red irises were creepily glued on me without blinking. "Uh, don't act 'daughter'..." He had a smirk knowing just how much I hated it. "I know you are intelligent enough to know who I'm." It seemed odd to see a girl talking in a deep voice but then again everything in my life was different from ordinary. Hell, all life of mine has never been simple and normal. "What do you want? Why are you even here?" I asked angrily as he laughed.....at me? Or did I say a joke to him? Didn't know but suddenly he had a serious face. "Of course, I'm here for you dear. It's time that I finally get the best food of mine also have to find the knife you have been hiding." He kept his hand on my hand which was trying to open the door before yanking it away from the knob. "I
"You know I love you and won't say you anything but this....umm.....everyone! Please leave. We will discuss other things tomorrow." The mate of mine ordered as I heard many chairs moving and people's footsteps nearing the exit before the door was opened. I glanced back to see the full room now emptied. The male patted my head as I kept my head on Xavier's chest again. Currently, I was hugging my man tightly as my wolf and I seemed to be scared to death. After some minutes of being near him, I was back to normal, my heartbeat was regular as I put some distance between us. "Are you fine? What happened to you, Sugar? You look scared to me." Licking my dry lips I sat on one of the chairs behind me. "I saw it, t-the h-horrible pe-people p-unishing mum before and now S-Scar-Scarlet." He scrunched his face in confusion but not asking anything he kneeled in front of me, taking my hands in his before making me look at him. "Calm down
"It's Stella, open the door, fast!" The next second the wooden thing that was stopping me from going in was swing opened as I moved inside the house and plopped on one of the nearest couches. "What happened? Why did you sound worried and in hurry?" The lady questioned as I smiled sweetly at her. "I knew that you would take years in opening the door so I just acted." Narrowing her eyes she stared at me suspiciously before saying. "Or maybe be not. What was the real reason for the panic in your voice? Why ask me to hurry?" Biting my lips I thought for a while as to what to say but when nothing came to my mind I sighed. "Well, out there was a group of big....honey bees, I and my wolf don't have a good history with them." Her eyes twinkle but she pressed her lips tight trying not to laugh at my horrified face. The old meeting with them wasn't something I liked to remember, nor did I want to have an encounter with those creatures ever again. "Oh, I
Wearing a white sweater and black pants with a high ponytail I was ready for going out. Rubbing my lips together and looking at the lipstick, that if it was alright or not, I walked out of the room. "You going somewhere?" My mate questioned who I didn't see was in the lounge watching TV. "Yeah, have to meet Antonio, Kevin, Sophia, and Fred. Gosh, so many people are in hospital." I sighed feeling bad, was this all happening because of me? Was I the reason, everyone has been caught up in problems? "Hey! Don't you dare to take all this fault on yourself. You ain't the reason for any of this." Within a second I was hugged by him, surprised at this sudden act, cause I didn't even see him running as he used his vampire powers, I stood there like a statue for a while. 'He understands you well, doesn't he? Just the expression of yours can tell him what's going in your mind.' My wolf said as I smiled a little. I agreed with her, he cared and understood me quit
