Alex watched the woman in the cell opposite him. It was what he had done for the past months they'd been locked together. He had only watched her with complete silence even though she tried to get him to talk, there was nothing for him to say to her.How stupid could he have been? Had he been so desperate for love, he had fallen madly for the first woman to give him attention and it didn't help that she looked like that. He had for so long been insecure about himself because of his scars and why wouldn't he be? Not after his true mate had rejected him.He still had the image of her in his mind - her long, thick blonde hair that cascaded down her back, almost reaching her waist, of her perfect skin and blue, bright eyes. She was an Alpha daughter and was his mate, his mate who had been horrified at the sight of him.It was why when Adrianne had given him attention, he had been taken by it, taken by her, and here they both were - he had just been a pawn in her game.It was his fault fo
I was taking a risk and it was one that might cause both I and Damon's life but it was all I could do. It was my last resort.My eyes shut, I tried my best to remember all I could about the convenience store, the shelves, the paint, the smell of it.My brain fought against the strain but I kept on with it, harder with each passing second until finally, I felt the air change, and when my eyes came open I was in the convenience store, I hoped.It was dark, so dark and cold I shivered from it despite the sweater I was wearing.I hoped with everything in me that I wasn't going to regret this, if my plans didn't work then it was over for Damon and me.I had guessed and I prayed it was correct that Damon was being held in the underground dungeons. It was the only place I could think of that he was being held in and it was like why David had refused to take me to see him.Although during my time there, I hadn't heard anything to indicate we were in the same building but something still convi
My eyes moved from the cell Alex was held in to the one opposite and I was shocked to see Adrianne. I had completely forgotten about the existence of these two people."What are you doing here?" Alex asked."Where is Damon?" I asked him in a frantic tone.He stared back at me with surprise. "Damon? Is he here?"I felt my eyes roll all the way back to my head and I wanted to leave him and continue with my search because I didn't have half the time to be standing around and chatting but I thought if there was anything, Alex would probably help find Damon.Especially now that it was proven that not he but David was the traitor. I wanted to feel sorry for accusing him wrongly and jumping to conclusions but I really was too exhausted to be bothered with such feelings so instead, I brought out the key I had stolen from the dungeon earlier during our squabble. It seemed like only one key unlocked all the locks of the cell rooms. I inserted the key into the lock and twisted it open."Hey!" Ad
You're not dead." I said harshly This was my fault. Why did it take me so long before making a move? Why had I allowed David and Valinne to use me for so long before I got half the mind to escape? I was so disgusted by myself.If anything happened to him, it was because of me."Alena," He muttered."Yes, yes," I nodded. "I'm here and you're fine now. I promise I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry, I was stupid."His eyes opened a little and he stared at me.A small smile curled up his lips. "I've missed you." He said and I felt my heart still.I loved him.I loved him more than I could ever love anyone else.He was the ultimate love of my life and I couldn't believe I'd spent so much time hating him instead of truly loving him. I wasted a lot of time being angry at him but I was going to compensate for that.I was going to love him for the rest of my life I let go of him and climbed the slab on the floor to help me reach where his hands were chained. I inserted the key in the lock and unlocked
“Go away now!” My mother’s voice, although weak, came out harshly as she pushed me away from her. Tears ran down my eyes and I shook my head stubbornly. “I’m not leaving you behind mother, not now, nor ever!” I swore.I could hear their heartbeat loud in my ears and I knew my mother could too, they were fast approaching and we were no match for them. My mother writhed from pain on the floor, she had collapsed, her injuries too unbearable and I knew she was giving up the fight. The large forest wasn’t enough to cloak us.We had escaped home with mother’s teleportation power, but not before one of those bastards had swiftly struck her, his blade slicing through her back. My hands shook as I ran them down the gash on her back, her cloth was fast soaking with blood, trailing us as we made our way deeper through the forest, stumbling past fallen trees and twigs.“It’s no use,” Mother said but I ignored her and closed my eyes trying to focus all my powers. I felt the energy make its way fro
“Happy birthday to you,” My eyes slowly opened and I squinted them against the morning’s sunlight, my lips widening to form a smile when I saw the view in front of me, it quickly turned into full-blown laughter.“Mom, dad.” I cried out flinging aside the duvet and jumping up from my bed in joy.“Happy birthday to you, our beautiful Alena.” My parents’ voices died down as they gazed at me with love in their eyes. My mom and dad stood together with a huge birthday cake in hand and a candle that took the form of the number eighteen, that was right - today I was officially an adult.“Come on, make a wish.” Mom urged excitedly.I stood in front of them, shut my eyes, and made my wish before blowing off the candles, mom clapped and dad joined her too after setting the cake at my bedside.“So what’d you wish for?” Dad asked.“I’m not telling you of course,” I said, giving him an amused look.“Ahh, I see you’ve grown up already, hiding things from your parents.” He said, shaking his head at
A hooded figure made his way through the thickness of the forest, its large trees providing cover enough to shield him from view.He made his way farther until he got to a place where three large stones met, he dug his hand into his large coat’s pocket and brought out a small circular, solid object. He placed it on top of one of the stones, the largest one, and immediately a building came into sight, digging through the Earth as it sprang up in full view.The man’s eyes remained passive as he stared at the little building right before stepping in through the door, the doorway immediately lengthened to accommodate him.Inside, a woman was seated in the dimly lit room, he frowned his face ever so slightly at the stench that hit his nostril, he still couldn’t get over the smell of this room.“Good to see you.” The woman said staring at him, she was seated cross-legged on the floor, a small table in front of her that held a bowl with simmering purple liquid.He stared at the bowl before s
The cold air slapped me as I made my way through a path formed by constant walkthrough, the night was quiet except filled with crickets music and the usual nighttime bird sounds. Large trees danced around gracefully from the wind and the moonlight shone brightly, lightening my way, my destination was not quite much of a distance from my home and soon enough, I reached it.I stared from the cover of a mahogany tree at the mansion that stood proudly amongst a thick mass of woodland - The Alpha’s home.I felt my body stiffen and the fury in me worsen as I gazed upon it. The Alpha who was still the same devil that he'd always been remained in power and life, I was going to snatch both soon enough. Alpha Damon had been away for three full moons now, only the elders in the council and my father knew where he was gone. Before now, I could count the number of times I’d actually seen him, he kept to himself and only spoke to the necessary men in power but still, he was feared and highly respe
