There was a beeping noise that was steady and constant in the room and She was pretty sure there was something in her arm. Better not be a goddamn needle, She hates those things. Her body felt light and her head a bit fuzzy, but the only thing that hurt was the top of her stomach, it was a soft pain compared to earlier.
You know that feeling when someone socks you and even after the hit it stings and throbs, yup, that's what it felt like. She took in a deep breath through her nose, chemicals were all over the place, but so was Zander's scent.
Knowing he was in the room put her at ease, wherever she was she was fine. The room was cold and she felt like she was on a small bed, not the bed Zander or She slept in. Just the thinking of him made her recall something but just as fast as it came it was gone. . .
"Why did you leave the room, Rose? You could have gotten hurt or worse! You are not in the condition to be alone without me!" He said menacingly, his voice was soft but had she not been high on drugs she would have noted the small things he was doing.Like how every so often he would squeeze her closer to his body, how his thumbs would rub on the small of her back or her thighs, how he'd look down every few seconds and try not to move her too much with every step.But she didn't notice because of the drugs in her system but she was running her fingers through his hair."I wanted food, or something sweet, I think." She said distracted by the silky strands."You should have hit the call button instead of disappearing." Was all he said until they got
"I'm trying to help you, Rose, don't make this harder than it has to be. I need you home, I will explain things there. I need to get you home, it will calm both of us down." He was talking through clenched teeth with his hands fisted at his side. “I am calm." And She was because what she was asking made perfect rational sense. He gave her a twisted smirk that made something drop in her stomach, and she held in a shiver. "I wasn't talking about you," he said, "Oh." Was all she could say. Zander never spoke much of his wolf, but she could tell by the time she have spent with him that although he hid it, Zander was more animal than man, which was odd because a human and their wolf were always equal, but not him. He's proven it time and time again to her. He acts on instinct, he's primal and no doubt lethal . . . It worried her. He would be a force to work with if his wolf was in control and she still wasn't even used to Zander in control. She needed him calm. "Fine. But I
She stared at him in utter shock and fear.“What?” she whispered in shock."They found out we truly were brothers and felt the need to make a show to all others that the only loyal ties we were to have were to them. So, they gave the command and we followed. I was always the better fighter, Joshua didn't stand a chance, I killed my parents too, I didn't even get to bury their bodies, they took them too." He looked down at his palms for a moment in silence, his voice had lowered to a whisper towards the end, he didn't bother to hide the anguish in his voice, She let out a breath she was holding. She was so sad for Zander, he was turned into a killing machine and then to make an example, was made to kill his own family, She could imagine the scars he carried with him. Scars that his immortal body didn't have, but his immortal brain did. She then understood why he didn’t want a mate. He suddenly looked up with a crazed smile on his face, his eyes gleaming with maliciousness. "So I t
She was scared to listen to what he had to say. Her whole body began to shiver in anticipation. “What is it?” she asked, "I didn't want the doctor to say anything because it would just bring more questions but as always you pay too much attention to the things others wouldn't." She snorted at him. "I wouldn't call it paying attention, but I think anyone would be curious as to why the doctor wasn't telling the patient what was wrong." He smiled at her, but she didn't smile back. "True, true. But then you threatened on rejecting me and I don't plan on letting that happen so we're back to your interesting test results." His face became dark and cold. She was beginning to get sick of that word, Interesting. "I was bluffing, I wasn't going to really reject you." She confessed, he eyed her with a blank face. "Bluffing or not, I don't take chances, especially when it comes to you. To us. You should have known this when you said it." He said critically. "While my results came bac
She took a step back from both freight and instinct. He narrowed his eyes but also began taking many steps back. She watched him closely, trying to focus on something other than the fact that if he bit her ear. . . Zander began to remove his shirt, pulling it over his head and throwing it on the ground. Being mated to a Lycan… a creature who is a superior to a werewolf? Creature of myth and lore actually real?For fuck’s sake, what in the hell was going on in my life lately?"What are you doing?" She demanded, watching as he unfastened his belt and unbuttoned his pants, pulling his zipper down. She looked away from the process and looked into his electric blue eyes. "You’ll see,” He stopped moving and smiled charmingly at her. "You're going to . . .change. . .why?" She asked, her voice shaky with fear and panic. She wasn't ready to see his. . . Other form. She just freaking found out it exists, Zander isn't like her and she just, God, her head was spinning. "Well, you did threa
She looked around her, trying to see where he was, but saw nothing around her but darkness, his fur was black for all she knew he was blending in and watching her. She jumped over a log and ducked under a branch, almost hitting it, her eyes scanned everywhere, and her ears strained to hear him. You are fast. But I'm faster. A blur of wind suddenly gusted her back, a large shape in the form of a giant beast. She yelped and spun on her heels, running in another direction. Oh god, his build was massive and he was fast if that was him. She thought. Just imagine how fast you'll be when you transform, we'll be able to go on runs together at the same pace. Just give in Rose. His voice was softening to an alluring tone, trying to persuade her to stop. "No! " She shouted out loud. She ran behind a tree and hid behind it trying to catch her breath. The forest went silent, and so was her head. But then the sound of claws scraping the back of the tree she was on reached her ears. She took
His large form was crouched, covered by darkness, blending in. Besides his outline, all she could see were two shiny black eyes that reflected what little light the night gave off. She could see a white cloud form as he exhaled, her chest dropped and she held her breath, waiting for him to do something. And slowly he straightened his body to its towering height, his right foot slid over the ground in her direction followed by the other, with each step he took she felt like it was another nail to her coffin. She wanted to run, to get up and run, to curl up and rock herself back and forth with her eyes closed until she woke up somewhere else. But she couldn't, her body was frozen in exhaustion and shock. She knew her arms and legs were there but she couldn't feel them. He was right, he was faster, stronger and better than a werewolf. No werewolf would be able to run through the forest without making a sound, appearing behind her without even her sensing them. He was the ultimate wol
She groaned at the constant itch her nose had, making her lift her hand and scratch it, but it would always come back, forcing her awake. She blinked her eyes open and squinted at the fluffy white thing blocking her eyesight, with her eyes more focused she noted the long white strands that ended in fluffs, her brows furrowed in confusion.She heard a deep chuckle and looked around the feather which was being held by the culprit. Zander was kneeling next to her side of the bed with an amused smile on his face, She immediately wanted to smile at him, but the memories from last night resurfaced. She pursed her lips at him, not saying anything.His smile fell a little but he didn't say anything about it. Her stomach growled at the scent of fresh streaming food close by, pulling the large feather away from her fa
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
