She is My Hope Wrecked
Note: Read this episode listening to Imagine Dragons - WreckedThis is a bonus ep, short if you don't want to read it feel free! You can go to the next one :)If you continue reading this ep, please be prepared, because it has Depression and Suicidal Thoughts triggers!Hope POV - Thursday, around midnightToday, when I stand on the edge of the cliff I remember the words you said to me, "Remember the life you led." I look at the darkness below me. I can see the shadows moving and I see images from my past.This light breeze makes my hair sway, tears form in my eyes and I fall to my knees, bringing my hands to my face, wanting to wipe away this pain in my heart with the tears I shed.Right now my life seems to be distant echoes and part of a sad TV show where I have no control at all. Each arc ended in my misery and each new season is a blossoming of hope only to have the final chapter devastate everything.I have no happy ending, no one to go back to, everyone I care about is dead, and

Lestat POV - Thursday before midnightI can feel that Hope's spirit is in torment, remembering things that cannot change and even between dreams her tears flow and words come out of her mouth."Forgive me." "Please." "I love you." "Come back!" "I didn't want to." "I'm here."These and many other phrases were murmured with an anguished tone. I pull her tighter to me, rest my lips on hers, and have a few flashbacks of the images in her mind, blood and bones strewn about, her kneeling, with Melvin's body in her arms, trapped in an echo of the past, grieving for someone who was collateral damage in the plan of the Gods."Hope, my love," I whispered. "My Queen." I kissed her forehead and turned with her.I slipped my leg over hers, one of my arms serving as a pillow, while the other was around her waist, her face now resting close to my neck, her head resting on my chin, this way I could hug her better, and keep more contact.I heard small sobs. I felt her body tremble slightly, her suffer

Lestat POVVia mental message I asked them to bring food to the room, while I kept Hope on my lap, giving small kisses on the right side of her neck. My monster was happy and eager, it had been so long since I had touched anyone, they had simply all lost their taste after I tasted Hope.So why try to satisfy me in other arms if none of them could accomplish the goal? It made no sense at all, so yes, I had been without anyone since Hope had left me and now she was in my arms again.Listening to Hope's low, short moans was enough to make me hornier than usual. I love hearing them. I love knowing I can get that reaction out of her, I know in parts I'm being selfish to enjoy the situation so much, but I know Hope doesn't want the other option.I heard the sound of knocking, then a servant came in, left the cart by the door and quietly left. Not that Hope wouldn't like having someone watching us, but for the whole situation, it was better to just be the two of us. I took her off my lap and

Hope POV - Early Monday morningI took a deep breath, so much had happened in the last week, so much had changed, I was no longer the same as I had woken up last Monday and don't know if I would be the same next Monday.I closed my eyes and touched the mark on my right wrist. It was an intricate design, in the place where I had the marks of Lestat's fangs two red rose petals came together and formed an M, around them, making a design around my arm, as if it were a bracelet, the design of a rose bush around, which twisted and released small tips of red petals that resemble drops of blood.I shuddered, feeling my heart racing, I had let Lestat mark me, even if it was a temporary mark. I had gone into Heat. I cared about Dylan.How many days had I cried over this, feeling through the bond how betrayed he felt? Marcus was more reserved, understanding my motives, from him, I just felt acceptance.Would that be enough? I needed to get myself back on track. I had to get out of this spiral th

Prince Erick POVI looked outside, with a glass of mead in my hands. Many things had changed in a few days, in one week I discovered and learned more about the Gods than in all my years of life.My father was not back yet, but our discussion over video chat was intense. I had already become responsible for Hope, and now my life was linked to hers. My father didn't care that she was Marcus' Destined or that she was called by Lestat, all my father saw was a girl who was defying the Gods.The King, my father, is someone completely devoted to the Gods, which is why they say he rules to this day because the Gods let him live so long. The Royal family has always been blessed, and we are always receiving new gifts and presents from the Gods, from being able to choose a Fated, to even being Fated to great wolves and Lycans. Our blood is one of the purest there is, our lineage goes back to the very beginning when the species decided to come together and form alliances of peace.So the only thi

Kendrick POV"The Prince has ordered your presence in the office, Mr. Miller."I listened to Hope's voice so emotionless being addressed Dylan, so formal, in her eyes there was no extra sparkle. I could feel her pain a few hours ago when she arrived at the castle, it was a different pain, it was like regret. I looked at Marcus who made a face like he didn't understand what had happened either.Dylan walked into the office, but his aura was low, depressed."Hope, what happened?" I asked, my hands in my pockets so I wouldn't hold her back."I spoke the ritual of rejection," Hope answered me and I couldn't help but let out a surprised yelp."What?" I asked stunned, Marcus looked as surprised as I was."Honestly? I'd rather talk in a more private setting." Hope had her hands in her pockets too and was extremely calm."Sure, my office is nearby." I agreed.We walked in silence, as we entered the office Hope went straight to the liquor cabinet, she took out my bottle of dragon fire wine, on

Hope POVIf I didn't know better, I would think I would still be in the thick of Melvin's death, so much was going on right now early. I didn't have time to show up to practice in the morning, between arriving, talking to Dylan, and talking to Prince and Kendrick, it was already time for lunch.But before going to the cafeteria I needed to get my things from the dormitory, walking around the castle and seeing things with new eyes was making me a little anxious. Noticing the vampires bowing seemed different, I could feel that many of them were angry, and that was strange because I didn't understand exactly what they were angry about. Because I was Delta? Because I was part of the Werewolves? Some of them showed genuine respect and few seemed happy.I entered the dormitory and went to my bed. It was a different dormitory, I could see that there were fewer beds, only 6, one being mine and one Dylan, so in our class now there was a vampire, a witch, a dragon and a fairy, when he said he p

Hope POVI spun the karambit around and felt the weight of them, analyzing if there was any magic in it and what I could do, but from the looks of it, for now, the weapon was just tougher, with nothing special.I'm unconnected to Dylan with the mental message, so any orders would have to be given out loud, at least until it synced up."I'll be in the gallery." The Priestess spoke and walked up to the gallery. I turned to my opponents.They had already taken positions farther apart. I looked at Dylan, I already knew the way he fought, and I had seen his training a few times, but I don't know how much he had evolved in these two days.Dylan looked at me and opened his mouth to speak loudly, but I realized that the protection runes activated, soon after the 4 were coming towards us, I can feel the water in my body wanting to move, and at the same time, my muscles seemed to start on fire.I stretched out my hand and realized how the shadows moved, in an instant I was behind the dragon, I

She is My Hope The Sacrifice
Hope POVI know what I need to do, and I don't regret this decision. I know they will cry, but I can only pray that the Gods guide their next steps. I hope they find their second chance, that they can be happy without me.As I grab Melvin's collar, pushing him back and bringing the darkness along with me I see him smile in a corner, but that smile will disappear, because I use my left hand to pierce the place where his heart is and I see the surprise appear and die in those eyes that I once loved. I loved Melvin and not this corrupted version of him.I can feel the darkness around me surrounding me, hurting me, breaking the armor that covers me, and falling into that endless pit and I don't know how long I fought and defended myself, but I finally hit the ground. I've gotten used to the taste on my lips. Finally, I raise my eyes and I want to bow before the beings that are in front of me, the power that emanates from them is so gigantic that my soul shudders, and doubts begin to arise
She is My Hope The letter
Note: This chapter will be written in the third person because there are so many characters involved.There couldn't be any soul that didn't feel the grief, for even the Gods are crying, that heavy and freezing rain is leaning on their bodies and their souls understand that this day is a day of Mourning.For those who can see the other world, they could see the Harvesters walking over the battlefields collecting the souls that were making their way to the Mekai.The tears of children who had lost their parents and parents who had lost their children mingled with the Divine tears as if trying to console each other...That night had been exhausting, it had been heavy, it had been a disaster and as much as it was known that the Corruption had retreated, there was still no feeling that it had been won.It was simply all about loss because those who survived now had to bury those who died and had to mourn for those who were lost.The feeling of no winner is so dense that you can't hear the
She is My Hope The Destruction
Erick POVWhen my brother finally realized what a foolish thing he was doing, I saw that Kaiden was fighting a she-wolf and I knew that the two of them had been destined, my Beast told me what had happened.I approach Hope and soon I can see several smaller creatures piercing the blockade that is around as the other four chosen are focused on defeating Melvin. Using the movements of my hands, the chains that are at my feet begin to move to wrap around, trap and exterminate those smaller creatures that dared to approach.It wasn't tiring to do, just boring, because none of them had any power to compare to mine. I notice Hope is standing still, looking at the movements of her chosen ones, she is smiling happily, with a dreamy expression.She's seeing what the end of that fight will be like, and from the looks of it, it's going to be a good one.I turn my attention to a shadow that manages to gather closer, it had fed on the corruption that had not been annihilated before and that rain o
She is My Hope I'm just another form of corruption
Dylan POVI don't want to believe what's in front of me, when Melvin's name echoed from Hope's lips I wanted to just explode with rage. How was this possible? I almost lost my Mate several times because she was afraid of what would happen if I marked her...I almost lost her because she had killed Melvin... I almost lost her because there is a curse on the place where my mark will be on her... I almost lost her because of that?!'No!'Sin shouted in my mind, our anger turning to Wrath as the images of the distant future flash by and I can sense that Marcus and Lestat share the same sentiment. Yes, I would have respected Hope's oath in that other future, because I would have seen that she was already on the right path, that she was already happy in her world...'That creature in front of us will be erased from existence!'Sin told me and I agreed with him, because after all when I met Hope I had seen a girl who used various tricks to hide how broken she was. Hope didn't want to get clo
She is My Hope The Night can be scary
Kendrick POVI didn't get to have much contact with Melvin, sure I had trained with him, but we weren't friends or close... When the first reports came out that Hope and Melvin were dating, Night immediately wanted to go back to the pack, but what were we going to do? Stop Hope from dating?That wasn't an option, so I focused on training, trying to forget that the person I loved was with someone else... Then came the news of Hope's first temper tantrum... I didn't see it, but from the reports, I knew she had been distraught and again Night wanted to go back to see her, but again, what could I do?What I did was just promise myself that I would stay strong enough so that Hope would never have to fight again in a way that could lose her control. That's how I began to unlock the powers Night had and after a year I was kneeling before the King reciting the Oath of Loyalty and Protection.I didn't do this at all without my father's permission, back then how could we have predicted that Hop
She is My Hope A True Angel
Marcus POVIt is no longer news that I am old, that I have been walking on this plane for many, many years... I have had opportunities to choose to die, rest and then reincarnate... I have had loves and enemies, family and loneliness...You all know that I no longer have descendants, that I chose not to bond with anyone anymore, and that I was simply being an observer on this plane, concerned with protecting humanity since I was Created for that.So I felt again, I lived again, I desired again... The one responsible for that was a girl who invaded my base and looked into my eyes saying that I would train her. The SilverRage pack had already requested a Delta who showed exceptional skills and had some Divine gifts. I denied it. How many times had I heard of some "saint" and it was nothing but nonsense?One afternoon the alarms at my base went off and no one could locate the person responsible, but the runes my sister had placed all over the place indicated that there was someone underc
She is My Hope I am the Sun
Lestat POVWhat is the sun? It seems like a simple question, doesn't it? Some would say that it is the star that makes up the solar system... Others would say that it is a red dwarf, a classification of the types of stars that exist... Many would still say that it is what gives life to Earth...For me, the Sun is something greater, something that has brought me Light in times of Darkness, it is what has made me continue to have faith in the Gods, the One who blessed me and accepted me as I am... The Sun can be welcoming or simply burn everything!Right now I am the Son of the Sun, but I don't want to welcome, I simply want to burn! I want to consume and see that creature disappear amid My Light!I comforted Hope several times, even though she was appearing to be whole, I could see her pieces and the way she was bleeding. I could see through her soul, and I wanted to show her the beauty that was in the Light!I didn't know what I needed to do, but the Beast that dwells within me had al
She is My Hope Who am I?
Kaiden POVHow? Why? When? Even standing in front of me I don't want to believe it, it can't be real, Melvin would never become what I'm seeing. The boy that I knew, that I lived with, that was my best friend! That boy would never have chosen to become this creature so... so... I can't even find a word.Everything seems to be slowing down, and it really was, one second stretched into so much more and as I hear and see what my beloved is suffering and how the future could have been my disbelief turned to anger.'We will avenge her!'I heard my wolf speak, and I shuddered, I don't just want to avenge my beloved, I want to destroy that creature because that being was not my friend and never would be! Melvin, the warrior within the SilverRage pack had died and that was an aberration!I don't fight this pressure that is around. I don't want to, because I know that when I get free I will turn and I don't know if I will want to control myself.I let Lestat and Erick keep that bubble of time
She is My Hope Between brothers
Erick POVSomething inside me wants to get out, my Beast is restless, as those images pass, this sensation, this feeling increases and it is like a poison because I need to release it.What that boy had chosen was much more than just choosing the wrong side and I want to exterminate him. Yes, I don't just want to kill him. I want to eliminate any trace that he ever existed on Earth.I'm shaking, and I can feel my aura expanding and the space between everyone became heavier and yet when that creature screamed I wasn't able to protect Hope as I saw her fall to her knees and the smell of her blood spread to a catalyst for everyone to want to move and counter-attack but we are still "trapped" in this little bubble of time, not because of Hope but because of my aura.Not just mine, Lestat's aura is gigantic and blends with mine in such a way that even gravity begins to bend, just as it bends before the sun. I manage to walk over to Hope and help her up."You tried," I spoke calmly, a calm
