Hi guyys. So so sorry for no updates yesterday, I've been down this past few days and still pushing, but thank you very much for the gems, I feel better now so anticipate more regular updates, Two Chapers a day 'minimum'. Don't forget to drop those precious gems and reviews, authors love seeing them. Next chapter coming up soon. Much Love.
I knew this was all my fault, asking the moon goddess to bring me back to life; she had warned me, but I was too blind.It was better; it was better he was alive, even if he forgot about me, but I was selfish. I wanted it all; I wanted children, and that's what led to this. I wanted to be with him -alive; I wanted him to remember me, but I had to learn we don't always get what we want; sometimes life has something different in store for us.I could not leave Rollins. Never. I would not give up on him; I would continue to love him for the rest of my life, even if he doesn't remember me. I could teach him all over again.He came back.I had not expected Rollins to return, but after a couple of hours, he did.I could see the guilt in his eyes, even in his drunken state.Yes, the Alpha of the Shadow Pack was drunk. I knew wolves needed far more than humans to actually get drunk. I wondered how much an Alpha like Rollins needed to get this drunk, but that wasn't all. That wasn't all I coul
(CARA'S POV)Rollins got better; it was like starting all over again, but this time I knew it was always meant to be. Again, the Cold Alpha fell for me; Rollins was mine. Even after our little discussion, he never once went back to Gwen; it had been two weeks already; I didn't want to push him, we were both holding back, avoiding the inevitable, it wouldn't be long though.I updated Rollins on all the discoveries, so he was always out and working, seeking for those strange creatures. He managed to kill a few, but there was a problem: we needed to capture at least one of them; we needed to know what other things worked, but those creatures were willing to pass the wooden stake through their own hearts rather than let us take them captive.Something was going to change today; I knew it. Rollins informed me that we would be going on a date; he wanted me to tell him everything I could; he always wanted to hear more about me, and it was fascinating; maybe this was not as bad as it though
(CARA'S POV)I couldn't even stay in my own room for too long; soon Sophie and May would be here; they would want to know what really was happening; they were others that wouldn't buy my little story, so again I went for a run.I've always had this feeling, like I wasn't alone, like there was someone watching me; it could be only my imagination, but the feeling was getting stronger with each passing day.I wanted to be alone, but I could sense someone coming; I went faster; I couldn't speak to anyone now; couldn't they just give me my time alone?Finally, I stopped.I turned around expecting to see Lucian, but the person I saw standing there made my heart skip two beats.Laurent?No.It wasn't Laurent, and I was sure of those blue eyes, which were darker than Laurent's eyes. Teo.I couldn't process anything. With Teo standing right there, watching me, could I also be imagining this? I saw him die. But then I decided it was not real; there was no other explanation to why he would be he
WARNING: MATURE CONTENTS (CARA'S POV)I waited in our room; it took a few hours for Rollins to return. It pained me that while I waited, he was with her, but I was determined to keep on the facade.Tonight, this one time, it would be just the both of us, as it once was.Again, he looked effortlessly sexy, even in the most casual clothing."You are here," he said, as if surprised to find me waiting."Yes, where else would I be?"He gave me a long stare, so intense that I felt like he was reading me."Thank you," he finally said, "for what you did back there, even if I didn't deserve it.""Don't you know? I am crazy for you," I whispered. His eyes dropped down to my choice of clothing, it was a night gown, a very transparent little thing, exposing my cleavages."Anybody told you that you are really, really hot and sexy?" He asked, coming closer."I've got that a couple of times," I replied with a smirk."You want to know what would make me really happy?""What, Alpha""If you could giv
(CARA'S POV)It was very early in the morning—It was time to go. I didn't want to be the one always sacrificing, but I was going to get something out of it. Still, it didn't seem enough. I wanted to put myself before the whole pack, before Rollins. If there was a way to end those creatures, it was better to know now and do something about it.I watched Rollins sleeping peacefully, and I couldn't stop the tears. I stood slowly from the bed; I could still feel him in me, and it might be like this for some time after the crazy night we had; I didn't mind that."Cara, are you okay?" He asked, always the light sleeper, and of course my little sobs woke him up."No," I responded, "I am not okay.""What is wrong? You seemed fine just last night.""I found out something. There was a way for me to stop these creatures; there is someone willing to help.""And then I go with you.""No, you can't; you have a pack to take care of.""And you are my Luna with the same responsibilities.""I have to g
(CARA POV)I headed to Sophie's room; I couldn't leave without even a single goodbye to her. That would be unfair from me, seeing how distant we were getting, and it was all my fault. I was never in the mood to talk or have any chat. It had been worse with May; she had even once sent Lucian to talk to me; she thought she did something bad to me, but I did my best to assure him that it was nothing and I was just busy.I wanted to make up for all that, but I guess it's too late now. It was strange how I once wanted friends, and when they were finally here, I took them all for granted.I remembered Sophie had told me she wanted to keep her child; I couldn't give any response then, and I didn't all those while because I had in some way secluded myself from them all. Now that I did feel bad, I wondered if knocking at her door only to tell her I was leaving would be a good decision.I knocked softly, and she was quick to respond. She looked surprised to see me here, and then she stared into
(SOPHIE'S POV) It had been two days now, and I couldn't get over it. It still feels surreal that she is gone. I felt betrayed. I knew it wasn't her fault, but I couldn't help but selfishly wish she stayed.I saw it coming, when Gwen was announced to be carrying the pack next Alpha. Gwen was the girl that, for some reason, got no attention. She was beautiful, yes, but still, that wasn't enough, and now she was the talk of the town... rather the pack; everyone was already linking it all up, the Luna vanishing after a few days of hearing the news.If Gwen thought her life had changed for the better, then she was so fucking, damn wrong. Yes, she got popular, but the pack seemed to be against her; everyone tagged the blame on her, and Cara's influence on the pack was no small thing, she was literally worshipped and this division would have it's effect on the pack, Gwen was blamed and hated by everyone, but no one dared say it straight to her face, that didn't mean she wasn't hearing though
SOPHIE'S POV***********The first place I had to check was my house, of course. Where else would he be? I walked into my apartment."What the fuck?" I cursed at the sight of the building I once lived in, now a mess; the furniture was destroyed, claw marks were all over, the lights were pulled down, and they were blinking on and off, but the other part of the house was very, very dark.I had this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach; something was wrong."Ken," I called, but there was no answer."Ken!" I called louder and there was a slight movement from the darkness. I strained my eyes to see, but it all happened too fast, and in the next moment, I was pinned to the wall, high above the ground, and Ken stood right in front of me, hissing and growling in my face, inhaling my scent like I was his next best snack. There was nothing human in those behaviors, and staring at him, he had changed, his eyes were a dark red, scary, dangerous, and I could see the fangs. He wasn't looking a
(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
