Rose caught the colour change from bright to dark blue in his eyes, and his hands tightened on her waist. He leaned down closer to her and bit her bottom lip for a second before pulling away.
"Mm, she's got a point you know." That was all he said.
Rose handed him his shirt and watched him put it on.
"Shut the hell up," She took in a breath to calm her heated face and then realized something.
"You're not even sweaty! What the heck?" She looked at him bewildered. He shook his head with a secretive smile and turned still pumped up the crowd, holding up his hand he immediately silenced them.
"Thank you for your support, now get b
"Dude don't worry, I got this bro." Vilkas patted Zander on his back, he made a sour face at his beta. Rose laughed. "I'd never trust an island to someone who uses the words dude and bro in the same sentence. I can almost picture the fire when we return." she joked, Zander cracked a smile which made Vilkas scowl at her playfully. "I hope you step on your dress and trip in front of everyone." He muttered under his breath. Her breath hitched at that, her mouth falling open. "So not cool! That's actually a girl's worst fear when wearing a long dress to a party. You better have not jinxed me!" she pointed a finger at him, he gave her a mocking smile. "Fine, do you rather I say I hope you sit on something that stains your dress an ugly color and no one tells you?" Rose's eyes narrowed on him. "I hope you fall off a mountain and don't get found until we get back." He shook his head at her. "As if, I'm always surrounded by people and I'm too irresistible to go unnoticed until you gu
"No, no, no. If you think I'll let you put their table in the centre or the front of the room then you must be looking for a new job. Who the hell told you to place their table right there? Do you want them to be surrounded and then attacked? Do you not like my face the way it is? Because I know I do. Put their table up there." Tina’s voice could be heard loud and totally angry from where she was standing. Rose had never met her in person so she didn't know what she'd look like, but Rose could take a wild guess and say it was the short black woman with dark red hair. She stood in the centre of the room ordering staff members to rearrange the tables and chairs, a scowl on her face as she glared at the annoyed-looking boy who was doing as she asked. Rose was standing by the door, she had actually just been passing by the room when she heard Tina’s voice. Rose smiled and went to step into the room, she ignored the stares and worried glances from the staff, understanding yet not comple
The next morning and afternoon were hectic, from the moment Rose opened her eyes to the moment her feet touched the ground to get up. Zander and Rose parted in the morning, him to check on the last arrangements so that he could get ready later and her spending practically the whole day getting ready. At the end up decided to go to a spa. She got her hair trimmed a bit to get rid of split ends, had her nails and toenails painted, spent the majority of the time in the steam room to open her pores and make her skin glow a bit and then after a cool shower began the preparations. Zander would check in every once in a while through their mate link, he sounded both excited to see how she would end up and worried as to how much skin would be showing. The last one amused her and annoyed him to no end. He'd bring up the fact that she could go in her sweats and he would still see her just as beautiful as if she had worn a dress. Basically, that was his way of asking her to reconsider wearing
Remembering the masks in her hand she brought them in between the two and handed him, his mask. He took hold of it and after reluctantly removing his eyes from her, began to look at it and smirked at the masks. "I like them." He said putting his mask on and wrapping one arm around her waist. She did the same. They both turned simultaneously at the same time to look into the mirror together, him behind her with his arm around her waist, his large frame looming over her small one. Two silver face masks looked back at them. Walking out of the room and closing it Zander leaned down to her ear. "The next time we walk back to that room, I plan on removing that dress and showing you just how sexy you look," He pulled back, only his expressive blue eyes showing just how wild his emotions rang."Looking forward to that," she said truthfully. He took hold of her arm and looped it through his own, it wasn't until they were halfway down the hall did she remember. "Wait, where's Rasmus ?" sh
Rose looked around the room, taking the opportunity now that she was yet to be seen to scan the room and people. Tina had done wonders to the room, painting the ballroom with different mixtures of black, white, silver, gold and little bits of blood red. The outreached half wall, decorated with circular small mirrors was painted a deep red. The rest of the walls were each painted a different colour from the four colours. Deep blood-red net see-through curtains hung from different parts of the room, touching the ground and bunching up at the floor to show long length. The tables were all positioned half and half across the room, the dance floor in between the two sections. Once you entered you could see the dessert and snacks table positioned towards the back of the room, under where Zander and Rose stood now. The Dj was on the right side of the room on a small podium of his own playing background music. She had actually given Tina her Playlist for a certain time of the night. She fig
Surprised and scared gasps left the crowd as their bodies bent to Zander's will. Alphas tried to fight it but were no match for his command. Angry growls and snarls came from everyone who tried to fight off his will. Zander lifted his hand and flicked his wrist as if to shoo something. They immediately stood back up with different mixtures of emotions. Rose could feel fear, anger, shock, curiosity, disdain, and hatred in the air. She was surprised that not one Alpha spoke out at his declination. Perhaps they held their young out of fear? Perhaps they knew deep down in themselves that it was not a declaration but a solid fact. Some of the wolves near the doors tried to leave immediately, nearing the wolves with silver eyes and copper masks. An alpha stood in front of them, holding his mate tightly. "Move!" He boomed across the room. The wolves bared their teeth at him and held still. The surprised look on everyone around them made Zander chuckle, bringing the attention back to the
In the direction of the snack table. She wanted to try the cute fruit and yoghurt salad. She tried not to let it bother her that some of the people that had been there slowly shifted away from her until they were gone. She didn't need Zander to know that it had actually been her presence to scare them. She turned around and scanned the room for the skittish couple. When She found them towards the back of the room, She made eye contact with the girl and smiled as nicely as possible. Even though she paled, Rose still began making her way to their table, knowing all eyes were watching and judging her. With a high head, She made her way to the back.Wolves parted and made way for her as she walked by, She ignored some of the looks they threw her. Some nice, others not. Some are a little too nice, others beyond unfriendly. Her heels made a loud clicking sound as she moved. When She reached the table, She noted the way the male at the table held himself, he was slowly shifting himself i
Rose walked around the red mirror wall and made her way down the hall. Sensing that no one was in the bathroom, she entered and grabbed a paper towel, She had gotten some of the yoghurt on her hands and after a while, it had begun to get sticky. She washed her hands and looked up in the mirror. Still on point. She dried her hands and was walking out of the bathroom when she caught sight of the belt-scarf dress girl walking around the red wall and stopping Jeez. Up close it was worse. Since she didn't have a mask on, what a rebel, Rose could see her brown eyes out lined in black, the annoyed look on her face promised trouble for anyone she encountered. She saw Rose and a devious expression crossed her face, She didn't like it. She suddenly began walking towards Rose as if to talk, her head held high as if with pride. This ought to get interesting. Rose met her halfway, and she stopped in front of her, because of her stripper heels, she leaned over her with a smirk. Go
Rose got up from the bath, water sloshing around her as it trickled away from her body. Her flesh glistened in a soft haze of liquid. Her round breasts were pert and heat emanated from in between her legs. The Alpha growled in admiration as he helped her out of the bath. his arms wrapped around her, bringing her in close to this cocoon of flesh in which he wanted to imprison her. She threw her head back and welcomed his touch as he closed around her. She breathed in his scent and looked with wide eyes at him, drinking in every inch. Her hands dropped down to feel his arousal. Her hands loved the hardness and the heat.He kissed her until she was dizzy. Their tongues danced and their lips crashed together, the sensations blurring together in a crazed whirlwind of mad delight. She could feel a fire being stoked deep within her body and the flames were beginning to take hold of her. She needed more. She was hungry for him, her mate, and she wanted to show him how much she loved him.She
Zander had killed the vampires who had been helping Caleb execute the plan all this time. It was later revealed that Caleb had been forcing the witches to help him in killing the wolves. The witches have revealed his evil plans of using Rose’s blood and gaining more power since she’s a silver wolf. Her blood is the key to his wicked plans. They handed him big bags containing Rose’s blood which he extracted from her when she was abducted and held captive. Caleb has been piling up blood bags of dead wolves so that the blood could help him defeat Zander. Zander has freed the coven which had been suffering the cruelness of Caleb. They thanked Zander, healed his wounds and Rose’s and moved away from Citadel overnight. Rose’s heart continued to hammer in her chest as she helped gather the dead bodies and pile them up. When all the bodies had been gathered in a great pile, fires were set, and a huge pyre blazed. Smoke rose in a great thick cloud through the sky, and the flames danced. Th
As Rose began to realise what he meant, her blood began to boil. A low growl escaped her lips. Mini kept pushing at her to let her take control but Rose held her back. She wanted to listen to him confess. She wanted to know why he wanted to kill Zander. “Johanna? Vampire queen?” Rose weakly spoke, her throat was burning making it so difficult for to her speak. “Yes, she was, she was also my beloved mate but I should be ruling the Vampires not her, I’m the rightful leader, not her,” He spat out in anger. “Let me tell how I used “The Vampire Queen” he emphasized on the vampire queen. “I wanted not only the throne but also wanted to kill Zander,” he continued with a menacing smile on his lips, “So, I manipulated Johanna, saying that killing Zander would keep the peace between our two species… that, he’s the reason behind all those wars between Vampires, witches and Werewolves and she believed me… that fool,” “You son of a bitch,” Rose muttered, glaring at him. “She met Zander at t
Everything around Rose stilled, “This can’t be happening,” “This can’t be,” Rose glanced at the witches, tears-filled eyes staring at them with hope shining in them. “They-they are alive, ri-right?” Her heart kept slamming against the ribcage and the news shook her entire self. Her mind kept denying the information she received and she couldn’t understand how to react to it. “No, sadly they are not, I’m sorry,” one of the witches responded. She had never met her parents and didn’t even know their names until now but she kept living with the hope that she would find them. She will meet them someday, and when she does, she will ask them all those questions she wants to ask. Learning that she could never meet them shattered her dreams and the little hope she had. She felt the ground underneath her feet slip away. Tears kept rolling down her eyes, as her heart broke into millions of pieces. The pain was too much to handle, her legs gave out but before she could hit the ground Zande
Rose was on her toes, watching the witches curiously as they kept chanting spells while closing their eyes and pressing their fingers on her blood. She folded her hands over her chest and kept waiting. Her anticipation was killing her. You waited to know about them for this long, just wait for a little longer. Kateia said. I’m waiting, I just couldn't contain my fear. I hope they’re fine. Don’t worry, just stay calm until they find out where they are. Okay? Okay. Rose replied. Suddenly the door of the room burst open and the two bodies flew across the room and hit the wall opposite them. Rose gasped and stepped back in horror as she stared at the guards lying on the floor. Groaning in pain, their bodies were lying in a pool of their own blood. A loud growl echoed through the room, it was so feral and animalistic that Rose immediately turned to the source. When her eyes landed on the person strolling into the room with so much raw power, she stilled. Zander? He was pissed off
“You are telling me that Lucinda, my mother took something from you before she went missing and you need to find it?” Rose repeated his responses, trying to understand the real motive behind this. Caleb studied her closely before answering. “Yes,” Rose wanted to ask another dozen questions, but dragging useful information from Caleb was harder than she thought. She wanted to know why her mother went missing. And What happened to her family but she pressed her lips together. “We don’t have much time, Rosabel, We need to find your mother as soon as possible,” Suspicion coiled around Rose. There was something off about him. If whatever he was saying was true then why didn’t he find the reason behind her missing? He said she took something precious to him, what was it? Does that mean she ran away? Why? Who was she running away from? Why did she take something that belonged to Caleb? Caleb’s story didn’t add up to her, she wanted to believe the information he shared but she felt some
Zander kept his anger at bay when he learned that something was happening at the border of the door they found. There was strange whispering in the cave of the door and it was covered with dense fog, not allowing anyone or anything to enter the cave.“We have been trying to go inside for two days, but we are failing, Alpha, the longer we stay in the fog, the less we are able to breathe in there, it’s so dense that we can hardly see anything up ahead of us,” Gamma Stephen said through the phone.Zander was on the edge of losing it, after so many days of searching for the door and when he could reach it he never thought he would face trouble again. It frustrated him. Why is it so hard to open that damn door? He has to find a way to open it or he could never recover what he lost years ago. “We think it’s the witches' doing,” Stephan informed, “Care to explain,” Stephan turned the camera and showed a dead snake and animal bones lying in a corner used in witchcraft. Zander's eyebrows
The next morning, Zander and Rose got ready to meet Caleb. As they made their way downstairs, there was a knock on the door. Rose walked over to the door and opened it. “Good morning,” Vittoria greeted with a small smile on her face, “Good morning, Vittoria,” Rose greeted back, “I bought breakfast for you,” She said, Rose’s eyes moved to the packages Vittoria was holding and quickly moved aside, “Oh, Please come in,” Vittoria walked inside and placed the food on the dining table. Zander was at the dining table when Rose led her there. “Thank you, Vittoria,” Rose said while helping her place the food. “Please don’t thank me, you are our guest,” Vittoria said while smiling at Rose. “We have to take care of you until you are here with us,” she said while serving the food on the plates. “That’s so nice of you,” Rose said while pulling a chair out and sitting down. “Have you had your breakfast?” She asked, “Oh, I’m sorry, I know Vampires don’t eat human food,” she quickly apolog
As soon as Rose entered the castle, she felt the presence of vampires in it. The smell of blood and death surrounded them. Her wolf and beast grew anxious, they were on edge and began searching for any kind of threat around them. It was so creepy. Rose glanced at Zander, she noticed his body stiff and his eyes alert. Rose quickly understands that If he’s alert then that means there is something wrong. She let her wolf stay alert along with her beast. She trusted them over this unknown danger she was sensing. The moment she saw Caleb, his witch and his men stopped walking, she immediately halted along with Zander. Caleb turned to them, the corner of his lips moving upwards as he said, “Welcome to the Citadel, city of vampires,” he welcomed and turned to his right side and out of nowhere a beautiful woman stepped forward. She was a brunette with hazel eyes and had a body like a model. “This is Vittoria,” he introduced, “Rose, if you need anything, you can ask her,” Caleb then turne
