"I'm sorry. D-Do know you all from somewhere? Have we all met before?" Rose asked looking up at them wide eyed, realizing how weird she was being and feeling. They all looked at each other and then at her, their faces grave and serious.
The tall blond guy spoke, his eyes flickering all over her face.
"Do. . .Do we look familiar?" The others inched closer a bit as if wanting to hear anxiously for her answer.
"Are those your names?" Is what came out of her mouth instead. She wanted to tell herself that she was just really good answer guessing names, but the longer she looked at them the more she felt she had seen them from somewhere. It was the red-haired man with green eyes that spoke, looking at him, She got a flash of someone els
Rose doesn’t know what time She woke up but when she did, she was on the ground, sore, tired, hungry, and mad as hell.She remembered.She remembered everything.Everything.Picking herself off the floor, for the first time since waking up in her old house, She didn't feel confused or like she was missing something important. No, everything was clear and she knew what She was missing, or better yet whom she was missing.She didn't need a mirror to know her face was serious and that of someone not to be messed with. Moving to the bathroom, she pushed open the door and without flicking the lights on to the bathroom, she stood in front of the mirror, slowly improving her eyesight making everything clear as if before her wolf's eyesight had been a human putting on dirty glasses.Not taking her eyes off the mirror she reached up to her hood and pulled it down roughly to bare her mark which was slowly appearing under her eyes. She snarled as the anger she have never left in her entire life
Zander stood in front of the metal bolted black door, hearing Matt Jacob struggle against the chains that held him to his chair. If He focused enough he could see his immense body heat moving through the door, but He didn't. Footsteps approaching him came from his right."Did what I asked for is set?" He asked without turning to look at Vilkas who grunted out a yes. He nodded at Vilkas making him walk away. His beast grew more and more excited at the prospect of having fun now, finally having someone he was going to sink his claws into for this whole mess and He couldn't agree more.Azazel paced back and forth, his head lifting up every now and then to look at the black door in front of Zander and lunge at it as if he were really doing it, he tried to force Zander to do so, but He held Azazel back."Patience. . .you will get your turn." He murmured to his wolf.When Vilkas informed Zander of the quick and efficient capture and imprisonment of Matt, He was glad and now here the little
Warning** Violence ahead, if you can't handle it, please skip.His beast reached out and dug his claws into the top part of Matt's shoulder left shoulder, ignoring the boy’s cry, cutting out behind the shape of a square, the top, and two sides, but not the bottom to close it.Looking at Matt deep in the eyes, the beast put his claws under Matt's skin before it could begin to heal and pulled downward, yanking the skin all the way down to his elbow. Matt howled in pain, he thrashed in his chair as the flesh was ripped off of his arm, taking a chunk of bloody meat with Zander as pulled it completely off his arm.Matt's head snapped down to look at his arm and when he saw it his eyes widened in horror, Zander backed away as He heard his stomach reacting to the not-so-pretty picture painted in red.He turned his head and began vomiting on the other side of his chair.Zander scrunched up His nose in disgust at the smell. Vomit was the one thing He hated about this process."Alright whip, re
His lower half slumped, He pulled, his hand out and left half of his spine hanging out of his back.Walking around the front again, Zander whipped His bloodied hand on his face and smiled as he gave little twitches, his eyes open in horror and pain, he looked to be in frozen shock."Y-You're a monster. You'll go to h-hell."Matt managed to say, his eyes were unfocused as pain bit at his body."Of course, He will. Someone needs to take the throne." He laughed and walked back around him.**Zander clasped the back of Matt's shoulder and shook him roughly, leaning in, in a serious and slightly mocking voice said."What did I say, Matt? Breath. It's all in your head." Matt's head slowly lifted to look up at Zander, he took a deep shaky breath multiple times. As the darkness pulled away from him, he realized that everything he had just gone through happened only in his head, he looked down and lifted both feet,
You would think being a twenty-year-old werewolf would lessen your dad trying to control you. . . Not really. After storming back home Rose began planning what was going to happen step by step, trying to make sure nothing was left out. . .including her dad. In the end, she decided she didn't want him to be involved just yet, for all she knew she would go- beat Zander's ass- and come back, no need to involve him seeing how well it worked out last time. During Lunch, she couldn't eat just thinking about that conniving, lying blue-eyed little shit. Her stomach twisted. Instead, she went up to her room to pack a small bag of clothes and necessities, not knowing if she would even manage to be around Zander for long. she wasn't sure how he'd act. A few minutes after packing, Elaine had knocked on her door, pale-faced but serious to let her know that a plane would be on stand-by for her when she wanted to leave, eyeing her she dec
"Why so many?" she choked out after the shock had let her think again.Who the hell kicks someone to the curve and then gives them twenty-six guards, plus four making thirty guards?". . . Protection."Mikael said next to her, eyeing his window, face tense. She opened her mouth to ask what but then shut it, she wanted her answers from Zander, he would have to explain to her his whole mess.She could wait.She sat back in her seat, crossing her arms over her shoulders. When they began driving out of the forest trail and onto the road she suddenly got very. . . uncomfortable. It wasn't her though, she knew that but yet her skin began to itch like when it was inside instead of the outside, so maybe it was her.She tried not to fidget like she wanted to but all she ended up doing was tensing up. The closer they got to civilization the stranger she felt, almost like a growing irritation and fidgety annoyance.What was going on with me? Were these some sort of side effects for how long I've
Rose was aware of the fact that she was scaring the guards with her random burst of little chuckles and smiles to herself, but who were they to judge? When the plane finally landed and they all unbuckled, the tension in the room grew as a presence she have never felt before, for once became known to her. She could feel it. She could feel his power. His radiance. His will over others. His presence. His warmth. His side of the bond. She closed her eyes and for a brief moment in time savoured those feelings before she closed herself completely and put on her mask. The grin fell from her face as a cold and indifferent look replaced it. Let's see how he likes this. When the door opened she was not the first one out, instead, she let the others go first, they gave wry glances at her but with a careless gesture, she pushed them forward until she was the last one left. With one last breath, she walked out and onto the stairs, she didn't look at him, no, that would be too easy, instead, she
“Yeah,” he said slowly, stopping in front of me."Listen, I have something to ask you," she said seriously, he looked down at her skeptically before his eyes went over his shoulder, he shook his head and sighed."Oh, for the love of everything holy! Give him to me."He walked over to the still struggling guys and took a side of Zander, wrapping a hand under his waist and throwing Zander's arm over his own shoulder to keep him upright.The two other strange guards backed up as Mikael and Liam took up the other side.Damn. . .how heavy is Zander?She followed them as they made their way to the car, Mikael opened the back car door and they laid her brute out. He looked calm. They closed the door and with an odd look, her way went back to the gaped mouth gaped-mouth whispering guards, who were now looking at her with a new expression.She told Vilkas to get into the car and drive her back to the house, Zander and she had stayed at last. But first. . ."As his beta I'm sure you know of how
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
