(Cara's POV)I felt the sharp pain; it should hurt, but it didn't. His fang sank right where he had marked me, and I shivered with want. want for him; he was right; he could make me do things even against my will; he could make me moan out his name; he controlled my body, and he just showed me that."Please," I begged him, but this time, I wasn't begging him to stop. I don't know what exactly I was asking for, but he understood. He flipped me over, so he was against the hard ground. He let me ride him. This time he didn't help; he wanted me to do it all on my own, and I was equally eager to show him how much I could make him feel. I wanted him to see that only I could give him that, no one else, so I went fast, rocking against his cock, my hips collided against his pelvic, making me more turned on if that was even possible. he growled low, his hands finally went round me, holding me tight to him, he wanted me to mark him too, I couldn't read minds but it was clear in those dark emeral
(Cara's POV)I couldn't forget his screams. What was happening to him?That was the question that nobody was willing to answer. I was in May's room with Lucian and Teo; of course they were in charge now that the Alpha was in the woods.It didn't make sense why they would leave him there and just sit here; I couldn't even sit down. Teo kept on assuring me that everything would be fine. Lucian was here with May, but he didn't look at me with hatred like I expected him to; maybe he was getting accustomed to me, maybe it was because of May, i didn't care to know."Please, someone should explain to me what is happening," I say, directing my question at Teo. I had asked this question again and again, but still no one was talking."Lucian?, May, please, I need to you say something. I am the Luna, I need to know" I say to them, feeling helpless and useless. The fact that every other person in the pack knew about this but me was killing me, the fact that I didn't even know how to help him."Y
(Cara's POV)Rollins Wolf turned to me and ran straight at me. I was too afraid to move. His paws came at me, and the force of his hit pushed me hard against the wall. I felt the hot liquid trailing down my eyes; I didn't want to know what it was. I stood to my feet unsteady, my eyes fixed on Rollins, and I approached him again, slowly this time."Nexa," I called again, and he growled loudly, but he didn't attack this time. "I want to speak with Rollins," I requested. "Please," I added.I didn't know who I was talking to now, I couldn't tell if Nexa had finally let Rollins through."Remember, you promised me you would never hurt me; it's me, your mate Cara.I'm so sorry; it was my fault. I should have believed what you said to me. I should have listened, but I didn't I am sorry, but I can't be away from you. Come to me." The last part was a whisper, and finally the wolf walked to me slowly and went low. I passed my hands through his fur, ignoring all the shocked gasps, and I held Rol
(Cara's POV)"Are sure you wouldn't want to rest first? It's a long story," he said, trying to reason with me, but I don't think I could actually go back to sleep; my curiosity was just too much, and what I had seen a day ago would never leave my mind. Wait, how long have I been out?"I have all day, and besides, I believe I've rested enough. How long have I been here?" I asked"Five days""What? Five days?""Yes, it was the worst five days of my life. The healers couldn't be sure when you would be waking up. I had to call the human doctor, and he too wasn't sure, but he assured me you were doing alright. It was actually due to the fact that you were already weak from the night we had in the woods. You sustained an injury to your head and some severe cuts on your body. The doctor said you healed... fast.""I am alright," I assured him."Still, this was all my fault; I shouldn't have missed my damned dose.""The green weird stuff in the syringe?" I asked, and he nodded."That's the wol
(Rollins POV)It was a miracle that she was still alive and that I didn't kill her, I would have never forgiven myself, but deep down i didn't know if I was capable of that - killing her, whether beast or human.But there was one thing clear, she was no ordinary human."Are you sure, Alpha?" Teo asked again."I don't think she is human; how could she know my wolf's name? It's just impossible, and you heard it."Teo looked a bit conflicted.Since the incident, Lucian has talked about Cara with more respect.I didn't know why Cara had been chosen by the moon goddess as my mate, but I believed she held the cure to my curse, she didn't know it yet, that could be because she didn't know exactly who she was either, and that's what we needed to discover—who Cara really was.I had told May to take her out to the human world; she had been in here for too long, and she needed to have some fun. By now, the injuries on her body were almost gone; there were just a few bruises and scars left, addin
(Cara POV)May didn't end the shopping till I've practically bought everything in the mall. I bought stuff I might never use, like those really expensive dresses; it wasn't like I could wear them to training or anything; they would just be there to beautify my wardrobe for God knows how long.May finally decided to end my torment. We were done shopping, and I made a mental note not to ever go shopping with her again—not like this dress wouldn't last me forever."So we are heading home, right?" I missed Rollins. It had been a few days since we had sex, and I felt deprived. He would never deny me if I asked, of course."No, let's get something to eat in those very expensive places—like, who wouldn't want that?"Me.I didn't say that out loud, though. Our driver took us wherever 'she' had in mind."How much money do Rollins actually have?" I asked surprised, like I always knew he was rich, but I spent more than I could make in five years just in a day, and May spent far more; I just coul
(Rollins POV)Emmaline's threats were useless to me, but I had to keep Cara safe and out of danger, I couldn't risk it, not when she was involved, maybe i should go for the easier option, throw Emmaline into the dungeons so she would give me no more stress, but I couldn't, not only because she was a really good fighter but because of the years she had spent here, she was here during the war and she stood by our side, she sacrificed a lot and even though I wasn't sure I had a heart, i couldn't send her away after all that, she was always an exemption and maybe that's why I thought she was suited for the Luna's position, how wrong I was, she was helpful to the pack and she knew her own importance, that's why she still pushed her boundaries, it was only a matter of time.I mindlinked Teo and Lucian to meet me in my office, and they did as instructed."I want you both to keep an eye on Emmaline. I don't know what she is up to, but i'm sure, she is up to something; the slightest proof is a
(Cara's POV) I watched Sophie go; I might never see her again. It seemed unfair that I couldn't tell her the truth and that she couldn't know that this was not all my fault, but I still couldn't blame her. I made her worried sick, and here I was in a fancy restaurant.I thought about running after her; I felt like a fool for saying nothing when she asked. I could have come up with something believable, at least."I want to go home," I told May, abandoning my half-eating food. I stood and she followed, we walked back to the car in silence. The driver waited to open the door for me. I didn't feel comfortable with this special treatment. "Who was she?" May asked when we drove back home. I wished we could both stay in silent, but this wasn't her fault; it was no one's fault, and I didn't need to get pissed at her for just asking a question. "She 'was' my friend, my best friend actually... till I left.""I don't think she meant what she said, Cara.""She did; she must believe I had trans
(Epilouge, Part One)(ROLLIN'S POV) I walked into my room to see Gwen there. I didn't know how to tell her. Cara had decided that she would stay in one of the guests rooms till it was all over, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay here knowing that Cara was just a few rooms away and I had never been the one to get sneaky. Gwen had to know."We need to talk," I said to Gwen. She looked tiny now, too thin, but I still thought she was beautiful."It's about her, right?" she asked."I don't want you to stress yourself.""Let me guess, she is back at the pack, you both are back together, and you guys are waiting for me to die so you could go on with your relationships, right?" She asked, and I was silent. I had never felt this kind of guilt, but she surprised me when she smiled."I knew this was going to happen, but you see, I don't even care about the fact that all that went on between the both of us isn't real; I don't care about any of that. I am happy; you made me happy, and you
Three days after the war.I wished I could follow Rollins back to our pack; I wished... but I knew that things would never be the same, and so here I was, with Teo. I couldn't deny that I wanted to be with Rollins; every fiber of my being wanted him, but I couldn't have him.Teo walked down the stairs, fully dressed."Are we going somewhere?" I asked"No, not we, me."I shrugged. "Okay, when would you be back? ", He stared at me, giving me that long look. "Are you leaving me?" I asked, and I couldn't hold back the sob."Is not... is not in that way.""I don't understand.""We were never a thing; as much as I wanted it and still do, I know you love someone else, and I've learned some good lessons, we don't always get what we want , I would always love you, but not in that way, not anymore. You love Rollins; you would never settle for less. I want you to go get him.""What if he doesn't want me?""You both were meant for each other; I don't know what the outcome will be, but what I can
(Cara's POV)Teo led me towards the exit; he held the most of my weight, and I limped trying to go faster."Wait!""No, we have to go," he said, tugging me on, but I had stopped moving. I thought I saw something. "That window," I said, pointing to the window we just passed."No, Cara, not now.""Take me back," I said.Teo made an annoyed sound before taking me back. I looked through the window; I knew what I had seen. The 'human' girls ran out of the gate, but there were two vampires running after them. Those two vampires alone would be able to finish them off; how did they escape?"Sophie," I gasped."I'm sorry, Cara, we can't save them.""Yes, we can't, but you can.""Cara, I was given an order; I have failed him enough; please, we need to go.""Face the truth, Teo, I won't be allowed out of here, but they... they are so close to freedom, please. I have done so many wrongs; I want to do this one right thing, please.""Wait here, don't move one bit; you hear me, don't fucking move."
(ROLLINS POV)"I want to give you a more honorable death. I'll let you kill yourself," he said, throwing the gun at me. "One shot to the brain, that would do," he said, his face still having that smirk I hated."And what do you know about honor?" I asked, staring at the gun, that wouldn't kill him, I knew it."Nothing. That would have been a better death... but now," his eyes glittered. "Welcome to hell," and then there was darkness. I could not see a single thing, and then Cara came into view, it was like a clip was being replayed before my eyes, a clip from my mind. She walked into Teo's room and let her robe fall to the ground.Teo waited on the bed, watching her, his eyes watching every part of her. I couldn't run from this; it was like I had been trapped by some invisible force in a very dark room.And then I saw Teo again, forcing himself on her. I watched her sob.I inhaled. "Get out of my head," I growled."Not yet," Vlad whispered, and then I was in my pack. The Shadow Pack
(Laurent's POV)I couldn't look her in the eyes; she didn't know that I had come searching for her. When Teo told me she was here too, I knew that I had to find her, but I couldn't even look at her. I couldn't let her deceive me this one more time.Maybe we were never meant to be. The thought alone caused a strange kind of anger to rise in me, and I finished off the vampire. I exited her room, her scent in there was too strong. Finally, I could focus; I knew my next target. Ken.I ran through the hallways, checking through room, to find him. Nothing."I guess I am the one you have been looking for." Slowly, I turned back to see Ken, and a smirk spread on my face."I've always wanted to pass a stake into your heart.""Why? Because I have every right to fuck your mate, or perhaps because she would always be left with a part of me any fucking place she goes.""Maybe you are right, but guess what?" I asked, not even waiting for his answer, "We both won't be getting her.""Not if I kill
(SOPHIE'S POV)Ken left to help his master. Vlad. There had been an attack; I heard the shouts; I didn't know what exactly was happening, and maybe I didn't want to know anymore.I had made so many bad decisions in my life; I know I deserved this. I had never been a good girl, unlike Cara. I played with the feelings of others and was only loyal to Cara as a friend.My thoughts were cut short when the door to my room busted open and a vampire walked in. I knew him; he had always watched me with an expression on his face. I could only place it as hunger... and lust; he wanted my blood; he wanted to feed; and he wouldn't care if I died in the process. Ken was nowhere to be found; maybe he was dead. I was shocked that the thought of Ken dead didn't make me feel anything at all.The vampire licked his whitish lips as he moved closer, his dark red eyes regarding me, maybe deciding where to sink his teeth, and then they settled on my baby bump."No!, stay away from me!" I cried out. I hadn'
(ROLLINS POV)I knew I was in the right location when I got to the castle-like building; it had this dark loom over it; this had to be the place.Teo walked forward; he knew the directions. All through the journey here, I had given the two brothers some distance, as I knew they had a lot of catching up to do."That is the main gate; there are vampires guarding the gates—the strong ones; there is no way we can go in without being detected.""Then we would have to kill them as fast as we can," I said to him, and we walked towards the gates. Of course, the vampires noticed that we were not a part of them quicker than I anticipated. We had to act fast; there were about five of them at the entry. Teo ran forward; his speed alone told me he was stronger now, different. He faced two, engaging in hand-to-hand combat. I threw a wooden stake I had carved to him, and he slammed into the eyes of one. The remaining three came at me, all ready. I tried holding them all back at once till Laurent j
(Cara's POV)Shade walked into my room. I knew why he was here; it was time for my doze of wolf's bane. The past few days, I have begun to feel less pain anytime the liquid was injected into my veins, but I didn't know how much longer I would last.I didn't know where Rollins was now or what he would be doing. Had Teo found somewhere to start a new life? That would be better for him."It's so funny how this little liquid causes your kind so much pain," Shade said with a smirk as he drew closer. "I love seeing you in pain, and guess what? Vlad had been busy recently..." he trailed off, his hands on my throat. "And right now... he isn't watching you; he has finally seen you for what you are—a slut. He has that already; he doesn't need you, but I want to know... I've always wanted to know what he enjoyed when he was with you and what he saw so differently.His hands went down to my breast, and he pressed hard on it, his eyes brightening up. "Does this turn you on?""Get your hands off me
(ROLLIN'S POV)I couldn't bear it, that she was there with HIM. Teo assured me that he wouldn't harm her; Vlad wanted her alive... for other purposes, and that made me furious at the fact that he had touched her, but I guessed she knew when she was going to work for him.She was only helping. I tried to tell myself, after all she had said it, that I could be with anyone I wanted to be with, and I shouldn't be mad at her for fucking the vampire prince to get what she wanted. I couldn't help but wonder if she was hurt; if the bastard hurt her, I was going to kill him. But then again, vampires were already dead.Teo had managed to bring Laurent back from the woods. It was a wonder to me how he had yet again changed; little by little, he was becoming the Laurent I knew, but if you looked deeper into his eyes, you would see the little emptiness. Still, it was better; he was back now.Teo, Laurent, and Lucian sat in my office as we discussed tactics. Though deep down we knew the odds were a
