I watched the pack’s courtroom proceedings with interested eyes, I’d never witnessed one before. The court was an open one with a bench for the noble blood of the pack while the ordinary werewolves stood around watching.

The gambling house owner whose name I learned was Amaro stood at the center of everyone’s attraction, his hands and legs were in shackles and he swayed from where he stood. His eyes were swollen and his lips quivered, it was obvious he was scared.

Damon stood at a higher stool and away from everyone, directly opposite Amaro and where he could see everyone clearly. His eyes were cold, and nothing about him said the lover I’d come to know, it was slightly unnerving. My eyes went through the crowd in search of someone but I didn't see her nor Sam - the two vampires I knew, it did them good to stay out of public gatherings like this one.

From beside me, my mom squeezed my hand and I had no idea if she was calming herself or me.

“Proceed,” Damon said, even his voice exuded

    The days following the trial still held the buzz and excitement of it. People seemed to have nothing else to talk about, the gambling house was closed indefinitely and I wonder what might become of Adrianne.I felt like telling Damon what I knew about the vampires and Adrianne but it would bring up questions I was unable to answer and at this point, I wasn't ready to go through an explanation, and my and Damon's relationship wasn’t right in the least bit. We still spoke but only when necessary.I watched him come out of the bathroom, his hair was damp from the shower and a towel was tied to his waist. I gulped at the perfection that he was, his well-sculpted abs were in complete view of me and if I didn't know him better, I’d have thought he was teasing me.He glanced up at me and I immediately turned away, keeping my gaze maintained on the book on my thighs. I saw him from the corner of my eyes head towards me and I stilled my breath in anticipation, a rush of disappointment ran thro

    “I feel like we never get to hang out properly, you know?” Marina asked, turning to me.We made our way towards our favorite inn that served the best ribs in town. It was true what she said, I had gotten so busy with everything else, Marina and I barely had time to do the things she was used to us doing.“But I understand though,” She said, linking her arms with mine. “You are the Luna now and I can't expect things to be as they used to be before, you obviously have so much on your plate, and with everything that's been going on recently, I feel for you.”I simply smiled in response as we pushed the door open and stepped inside the inn. I was immediately aware of the eyes that followed my movement but I was already used to it.“How are you coping with it all? I'm sorry I never ask.” Marina asked as we settled down at a table.I shrugged. “It’s all good, Damon bears the brunt of it all actually.” And it was true, he had occupied himself with work and he was relentless in making sure h

    I felt numb, my hands kept picking at the corner of my fingers, peeling the skin that covered it. It was all I could focus on now, I didn't want to think of anything else.But the mind was a treacherous place, it kept going back to the incident and I couldn't believe it. They'd played such a dirty trick on me and I had fallen straight into it, how stupid could I have been?I was being held in a small room at the town’s cell house, I knew it was just time before I would be locked up in a proper cell room and the thought scared me. I heard the door open and I didn't look up until he spoke.“Why did you kill him?” Alex asked, I looked up and saw he was seated opposite me, a long table separating us. His eyes were still cold.“Where’s Damon?” I asked. His eyes clouded. “Answer my questions first!” I stared back at him and remained wordless. I knew Alex already believed what he saw and it certainly was hard not to. My hands were bloodied and so was the baby pink dress I had picked out fo

    Dad barged into the room with Alex still on his knees. His eyes were furious as they met mine.“What have you done Alex?” He asked, rushing towards him.“Don’t,” Damon said, one word, and it brought my dad to a complete halt.“I am sure he has realized his mistake.” He said, turning to Alex.He was on the floor with a battered appearance and he still had an angered look on his face towards me. I was sure he was regretting it now, this plan of his to get me in a messy situation I’d be unable to get out from was beginning to backfire.“How could you do this? You took my daughter into custody without at least informing me first.” Alex looked up at him. “I did my duty and as the Delta and head warrior of this pack, I didn't realize the laws of our land favored some people over others.” He said in a bitter tone.“She is the Luna!” Damon said. “You should have accorded her that respect before anything.”Alex looked downcast and said nothing.“You bastard!” Dad growled. “How could you not r

    It was still very early and Damon had gone to attend the meeting with the council members when I snuck out of the house, teleporting my way to Aunt Aurora’s.A grin formed on her face when she opened the door and saw me, she immediately pulled me inside.“Are you okay? I had a feeling you were in trouble, is everything alright?” She asked.I nodded my head and lied. “I am fine,” I knew without a doubt that if I dared to tell Aunt Aurora what was going on, there was no way she'd let me go back to the Dark Moon pack again and I needed to.Her eyes searched mine, she probably knew I was lying but she let it go and led me to the couch."How have you been? After what had happened, I didn't think I would be seeing you anytime soon." She said referring to the truth about Mother.I smiled sadly at her, if there was anything my own Mother had thought me, it was to never trust anyone. The way I’d had complete faith and believe in her innocence was almost embarrassing."What can I say?" I asked

    It was past midday when Annalise realized the door to Nicolás's office had remained shut since late evening when he'd stepped into it. It wasn't unusual for him to stay cooped up in the office but it was unlike him to stay there all through the night and morning.Her worry for him was he probably hadn't had anything to eat. She knew that shouldn't concern her, but she couldn't help herself from worrying about him. It was something about her she didn't like, she always felt the need to take care of those around her despite their treatment meted out towards her.She made her way towards his office and raised her fist to the door, it lingered in the air for a few seconds before she dropped her hand and walked away. She and Nicolás have been avoiding each other since she'd returned from the hospital, acting like what had happened with Sir Enzo hadn't and she didn't even know if he had died but like the last man, there hadn't been any mention of his death on the news so she was hoping he w

    I struggled against him but he held on tighter, his other hand on my shoulder, pressing me down and pining me to the chair as his mouth violated mine.He finally pulled away and smiled at me. "Understandable," He said.I swung my hand and landed it on his cheek, leaving behind an ugly, red imprint on his face."How dare you?" I felt completely disgusted and outraged. I felt violated and the lingering feel of his lips on mine remained, revolting me.I swung my hand again to hit him but this time, he caught it mid air, his hand tightening around my wrist."That's enough Alena!""You should get out of here this instant!" Hazel said, her anger obvious. "He is a disgusting asshole and you shouldn't have even come here in the first place.""Let go of me!" I said through gritted teeth. Theo was so lucky, the extent of his luck was pissing me off because otherwise, he'd be dead at my hands."I've always wondered what you'd tase like, you know.

    He glanced at the woman lying next to him. She seemed so at peace sleeping. Her long lashes resting softly atop her cheek, she was the most beautiful sight he'd ever seen.He felt a pang at the reminder of what was going on and the bastards who had connived and had done this. He wished he could get his hands on them and make them feel his wrath, but they had done a clean job, leaving behind no trail.He ran his hands on her cheeks, feeling the softness of her skin on his hardened palm. He couldn't lose her to this, never. Damon knew he was going to find a way to sort this mess out no matter what happens."Are you going to stare at me all morning?" She asked with her eyes still closed, a small smile on her lips.He couldn't help himself and he leaned down, dropping a kiss on her lips but the softness caught him in and she wrapped her arms around his neck deepening their kiss. This was one of the things he loves about Alena, she was never shy to take when she wanted.Her fingers dug into

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    He glared at me from where he was seated opposite me.“I won't do any more of your bidding if I don't see Damon and be convinced enough he is still alive.”Valinne chuckled. “Aren’t you just the cutest, Eliana?”“That is impossible, he is alive and that is all there is to that. You will not see him!”Was he truly dead? Fear gripped me.“Why won't you allow me to see him? If truly he is alive, it wouldn't be a problem for you, would it? The only reason I can think of…”David cut me off impatiently, “he is alive, I have no reason to kill him, not until you give me one, and right now, you really are.”“I want to see him!” I insisted. Why won't they allow me to see him if he was alive as they claimed and deep down, I knew he was but why were they being so insistent on me not seeing him? I hated the goosebumps the feeling of something being terribly wrong caused.“You shall not! Jeremiah!”“Shut up!” I growled and immediately everything around us rattled, the mugs on the table, the books b

    “Get up!” Jeremiah said, opening the door and yelling at me from outside. I ignored him until he had to fill his big frame into the room and pull me, and himself out of it.He was panting slightly as he led me down the stairs and my lips widened into a smile at his discomfort.Today, I was led outdoors where a group of vampires was bound and lined up and the pack members were standing around and watching, the segregation between the werewolves and vampires remained. I let out a groan at the sight; how many prisoners does David need to punish?I stared at my feet this time as David spoke, willing for the time to move faster while still knowing that I was going to have a repeat of the days ago event.“These vampires bound today are those of us who have broken the important rule for the cohabitation of the two species. Blood feeding should only be done with wild animals, members of other packs, and rogues. My vision for this merger is to help the Dark Moon pack achieve what no other pack

    “Ah,” He heard the self-satisfaction in David's voice. “I can see your senses are still sharp, Damon.”The fury in him had heightened with David’s presence but he wasn't going to let it show, it would only serve to give the idiot more pleasure about what he’d done. He wouldn't let him know that he was going crazy from being locked up, it was what he wanted.“I am a born Alpha, remember? There are just some things that can't be stolen, unfortunately.” He said in an arrogant tone that he wasn't feeling.The room was still engulfed in darkness and he found it slightly bothersome.“Refusing to show your face, David? Or you just can't stand looking at me? Strange since I expect you'd be reveling in my sight.” He said dryly.“Can’t stand looking at you, Damon?” And he chuckled. “There is nothing to look at.”The insult pierced him and he felt his jaw clench tight but he said nothing in response. The lights finally came on and like every single time, it momentarily left him blind so he had t

    I would like to kill them all, every single person in existence around me.It would be an easy feat, I wanted to set them on fire, myself included. It would be easy, I said to myself again, all I had to do was to simply let my powers roll over me and connect it with nature’s energy, I could feel it buzzing beneath my feet.The anger and pain in me would be infused into it so much that no one would be spared when I unleashed but I couldn't.Nothing hurt more than the fact that I couldn't do it, so I cried, screamed, and kicked as I was bound back, the chains locked around my hands and I was led back to the attic where I currently sat, watching the wall opposite me with eyes blurred from tears.Marina.I repeated her names over and over again until it was the only thing ringing in my head. She was dead because of me, I had wanted to save her but instead, I had shown I cared much about her and made her prey to Valinne’s cruelty.A lesson for me.I wished I was dead.I wished Damon had le

    The days seemed to roll into one for him and he could barely tell the difference between night and day. His eyes had gotten accustomed to the darkness of his holding cell and he could almost see the cracks on the wall, the peeling of the paint on it.The coldness from the damp walls was his constant partner, it seeped into his skin clinging to him, boring into him - his fingernails, toenails, chewing every inch of his body but he couldn't complain not when he was left at its mercy.He has been stripped off of almost all of his clothing, the only thing left on him was shorts that barely reached his knees. His both hands were chained to the wall and too many times to count, his knees had buckled but the chains locked onto his wrist held him up, digging into the skin.Relieving himself was an embarrassing feat, a pail was brought to him and he did his business while standing, one of his hands unchained, and after he was done, the pail was taken away and his hand was chained back.Damon w
