ELLA The water runs red as it washes Vanessa’s blood from my body. Even the water is warm my body shakes as I recall what I have just done. Bracing my hands against the shower wall I try to calm my nerves, but it is not working. My legs begin to shake underneath my weight, and I fall to the tiles beneath my feet. Slow painful sobs escape my mouth as I curl my knees to my chest and sit with the hot water spraying down over me. I have never killed anyone before and when I got the opportunity, I tortured and slaughtered her like a monster. The painful sobs begin to come faster and louder as I think about each time I stabbed Vanessa. The bathroom door bursts open and Erebus storms into the shower, scooping me into his arms while fully clothed he wraps me gently in a towel. “Little Vixen,” he says gently moving my wet hair out of my face. “Why are you crying?” Sobs continue to wrack my body as Erebus engulfs me in his arms. “I k-k-killed her,” I stutter out between sniffles.

ELLA The green flames leave my hands and soar through the air to the target on the other side of the training grounds. The target bursts into green flames that quickly turn to orange. I groan frustratedly as I watch the target burn down to ashes. “You aren’t concentrating,” Grace yells from the stands that surround the training grounds. “Those flames should remain green if you want to keep control over them.” Rolling my eyes in her direction I send another green ball of fire across the grounds hitting the second target. This time the target is engulfed in green flames, but it does not burn. Sweat begins to pour down my face as I try to keep control over the flames that are one hundred meters away. Eventually fatigue takes over and I let go of the flames and the target begins to burn orange before collapsing to the ground. “Better,” Grace says acceptingly. “You need to work on your stamina though.” “I was a human for the better part of a month,” I groan back at her. “I am s

EREBUS Light breaks through the curtains and I groan as it hits my face. Ella snuggles in closer to my chest trying to block herself from the light. Wrapping my arms around her I try not to think about the dreams that plagued my sleep. Dreams of Grace having a terrible vision about my pup and Ella. Dreams about losing them both. Day by day I know that the war is coming closer and closer. I know that I have to find a way to keep them both protected even though Ella is insisting on fighting. I squeeze her small frame in my arms before I slide my arm out from under her gently and make my way towards the shower. Looking back at Ella, she has snuggled herself into my pillow and is snoring lightly. Her shirt has ridden up her stomach revealing the subtle baby bump that is growing. Unable to help myself I walk back over to the bed and place a kiss on her stomach. Ella stirs as the tingles of the bond between us spread throughout her body. “Erebus?” She whispers sleepily. “I

ELLA Standing outside of Grace’s cabin I stare at the door, unsure if I should knock or not. I haven’t been back here since I stormed out after hearing that Walter was hired to kill me when I was just a child. Looking back at the situation now, I suppose I may have overreacted a bit. But at the time I felt angered and betrayed. I raise my hand to knock on the old door and Emmett stiffens beside me, standing at attention. “Don’t do that,” I hiss at him. “Don’t do what?” He whispers back in confusion. “Don’t stand like a member of the Royal Guard,” I whisper yell back at him. Emmett’s eyebrows furrow and he looks at me in confusion. “But that’s what I am.” “Just don’t be that here,” I tell him harshly. Emmett tries to relax at my side, but his demeanor is still much to stiff. I let out a frustrated sigh and knock on the door. Grace opens the door with a bright smile on her face, “It took you long enough,” she whispers into my ear as she pulls me in for a hug. “Wh

GRACE Staring at the door as Walter leaves I turn back and glare at Ella and Emmett. “You don’t know what you are asking of me,” I tell her with my voice sounding strained. “I have been bound by the covens not to speak the names of those members.” “You have been bound by magic or by your word,” Ella asks me. “For a witch they are the same thing,” I reply angrily. “I think you should go.” Walking to the front door I open it and gesture for them to leave. Ella pulls on her coat and places her hand on my shoulder. Leaning in she places a small kiss on my cheek but does not say a word as she leaves. Emmett nods to me silently as he follows Ella out of the house. Watching silently from the front porch of the cabin, Ella wraps her coat around her and lifts her hood over her head before she and Emmett disappear into the night. Walking back into the cabin I gently shut the door behind me and rush to the table where the teacups were left. Looking in Ella’s cup it is more of the

ELLA The tension in the room is so thick that it could be cut with a knife. The Hunter’s Clan sits on one side of the room glaring at the Lycan Royal Guard that is sitting on the other side. Erebus, Walter, Lucian, Emmett, and I all sit in the center of the room, none of us knowing who should speak first. Finally one of the hunters clears his throat and stands up from the corner of the room. “Are we all just going to sit around and stare at one another or are we going to talk about the problem with this witch coven?” His voice quivers as he speaks, and his hands are clinched at his sides to keep him from shaking. Erebus nods at the hunter who quickly takes his seat. “He is right,” Erebus says a little too loudly. “The Sisters of Wisdom have gone too far attacking innocent werewolves and lycans.” Erebus begins to explain. “They need to be stopped.” “It isn’t just your kind that is being attacked,” one of the other hunters stands up. He is a large burly man with a long bea

ELLA The pages of the spell book glitter and shine as I flip through them like they have never done before. Gently I turn the pages one by one, mumbling the names of the spells as I pass them by. “Summoning Spell… Tracking Spell…” The symbols on the page morph and transform into readable words before my eyes. Running my fingers over the page a long, thin, blonde strand of hair catches under my fingers. Between my forefinger and my thumb I grasp ahold of the strand of hair and hold it up to the light. The blonde shimmers slightly in the dim light of the library. I have only seen hair this color twice before. “Please belong to Lilith,” I mumble to myself. Just then a knock on the wall behind me startles me. I quickly place the hair back between the pages of the book and slam the cover shut. “What was that?” Erebus asks curiously as he lays his head on my shoulder and wraps his arms around my waist. I sigh to myself before I answer. “It is a strand of hair that I found o

ELLA A blistering cold wind blows in from the North as we approach the outskirts of Lycan City. Wrapping my coat tightly around my ever growing belly I try to maintain some type of warmth on this cold night. All I can think about as we approach the Wolf’s Den is the defeated look on Grace’s face as I stared at her through Lilith’s eyes. Off in the distance I can see a cloaked figure waiting in the darkness and I know that she is waiting for me. Holding up my hands, I gesture for those that are walking behind me to stop but none of them do. Taking a deep sigh I place a barrier between the cloaked figure and the group of hunters and lycan warriors. Stepping through the barrier I turn back to Erebus who is banging against the invisible barrier trying to break through. “Let me through, Ella,” he yells threatening. “No,” I say in no more than a whisper. “This fight is mine and mine alone.” “You cannot win this alone,” Erebus’s voice sounds panicked as he and the hunters and t

ELLA Laying in the hospital bed I hold two tiny babies to my chest and watch their chests rise and fall with each breath that they take. Faris was born first, he came into the world screaming with his eyes wide open. One blue and one green, just like his father. Keena came quickly after her brother, not wanting to be left behind. She has a full head of dark hair and greenish blue eyes. Keena is much smaller than her brother, but we knew that would probably be the case. Faris’s scent of cedar is already strong indicating that he will probably have a wolf or a lycan. Keena on the other hand, her scent of roses is barely distinguishable next to Faris. I tried not to cry when the doctors told us not to get our hopes up that she would have a wolf or a lycan because the odds are low. Still as I stare down at them tears prickle at the corners of my eyes. Tears of both happiness that they are here and healthy but sadness because we do not know what the future will hold. Looking o

ELLA*Four Months Later* The warm summer air hits my round face as soon as I open the door of Emmett’s Jeep. I try to peer down over my large stomach to see the ground before I roll out of the vehicle, but all I can see is the bright pink shirt that covers my pregnant belly. “Emmett,” I yell knowing that I will need help maneuvering myself out of the Jeep. “Right here, Luna,” he says as he offers me his hand. I scoot to the edge of the seat and slowly lower myself to the ground. I can see Emmett smirking out of the corner of my eyes and I turn my head to give him a sharp glare. My bare feet hit the soft grass outside of the cabin and I wiggle my toes against the wet dew that had settled on the blades over night. “Ella… Luna…” Emmett corrects himself. “Where are your shoes?” He asks me with an air of frustration in his voice. “In your Jeep,” I say with a smirk on my face. “I meant why aren’t they on your feet?” He groans as he heads back to the Jeep to grab my shoes

ELLA*Two months later* The paper hospital gown itches and crinkles against my skin as I fidget in my seat. No matter how I turn my body I cannot seem to get comfortable. Anxiety pulses through my chest as I wait for the doctor to come in. Erebus, on the other hand, is sitting calmly off to the side flipping through the pages of a pregnancy book. “You aren’t nervous at all?” I growl at his relaxed demeaner. Erebus shrugs his shoulders and continues to flip through the pages of the book in front of him. “You are getting bigger by the day and we both have felt it kick. What is there to be nervous over?” “The fact that it could be human for one…” I pause as I realize what he just said. “What do you mean I am getting bigger by the day?” I can’t help the anger that is rising in my voice. “You can’t possibly be angry with me for saying that you are getting bigger,” Erebus pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration. “You are pregnant. You are supposed to get bigger.” “But
Rogue Princess Chapter 83
ELLA Erebus swings the door heavy door to the dungeons open and the smell of mold and urine hangs heavy in the air. Murmurs of chanting fill my ears as I descend down the stairs, but it abruptly stops when I reach the bottom. Giving my eyes a moment to adjust to the dim light I look at the cells that line the walls. Almost everyone one of them is full. During the battle I had only noticed the seven witches on the council, but it appears that there were many more fighting on their side. As I reach the first cell I frown at the sight that is before me. A young woman with jet black hair is crouched on the ground like a caged animal ready to attack at any moment. Her body shakes with fear as I look down on her. I try to remember what Grace and Sister Jasper both said, to look with my heart. Closing my eyes I let out a deep breath clearing my mind. We I reopen my eyes the young woman is staring at me curiously. A bright blue aura surrounds her body. I attempt to look into he

ELLA After the battle the wind no longer blows in strongly from the North. The Sisters of Wisdom have been put in chains and led off to the cells below the Royal Mansion in Lycan City. I watch silently as the those that are injured are helped to their feet. There is no line between lycan and hunter at this moment. Everyone is on the same team. “You did an impossible thing tonight.” Someone says as they silently approach me from the side. I turn and see Sister Jasper watching as a lycan carries an injured hunter through the woods back to hospital in Lycan City. “What was that?” I ask not taking my eyes off of my warriors. “You brought together two enemies to fight for the future of all of our kind,” Sister Jasper says, and I cannot help but notice how her eyes flicker to the amulet that now sits in the hollow of my neck. “The Sisters of Wisdom did not give us much of a choice,” I say in no more than a whisper.“The lives that they took from us can never be replaced.” I r

ELLA Everyone watches in silent reverie as Grace’s ashes dance on the wind as they climb higher and higher into the sky. It is as if they are jumping from one cloud to the other as she makes her way up to the heavens above. It would have been a beautiful sight if I was not so damn sad. Looking down to my left I see that Lilith is nothing more than ash now as well. I resist the urge to kick her ashes into the mud and snow. Walter grabs ahold of my shoulders and pulls me away from what remains of Lilith’s body. “She would want to be with her,” he mumbles. “That’s what Grace would have wanted,” he clears his throat as he speaks trying to hide the sobs that threaten to escape him. I look up into his brown eyes that are filled with tears, and I know that he is right. Grace and Lilith spent centuries at each other’s sides. Puckering my lips once again I blow a gentle breeze over the ashes that were once Lilith and send them into the heavens so she can be with Grace. Huge tear
