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
She had tons of questions running through her mind."What type of information? Who? And to whom?" She asked, panicked and her brows coming together."The girl that tripped you in the field, whose neck I snapped, apparently had met her mate earlier that day and he wasn't too happy about me killing her. He didn't get much information on you, but just him telling anyone that you were my mate put you in danger. Because we had just learned of that and weren't sure who and where the person was, I had to get you away from me in case the first place they would look was here, the island has been attacked before, if you went back to your pack then no one would question someone they've known their whole lives. And yet I knew that you wouldn't go without a fight so I thought that if I erased your memories you'd stay away and just in case decided to make you hate me so that if you did recall anything, you'd just be angry and want to stay away from me."His confession left her speechless for a mome
Rose shook her head and laughed sarcastically. "Oh no, that wouldn't do us very well if I just left you here. Nope, what this is going to do is teach you how to communicate with me and make you learn some self-control over your actions. As you put it, you can break out of those chains anytime, but you have two choices. Break out and continue your road to loneliness because I just refuse to be with someone who keeps things from me, commands and constantly is stepping over or controlling me. That's not how a relationship works. The second is that you can stay here and show me that I can actually trust you and learn something out of this. The choice is up to you really. . . Unlike you, I give choices." She said to him obsequiously, challenging him with her eyes. He lifted his chin high and looked her straight in the eyes as he responded, his face intense and determined. "You know I'll stay here if that's what you wish." His answer made her chuckle. "Why should I believe you?" His ja
When Rose walked into the house it was around three in the afternoon, she closed the door and listened for a moment when She heard nothing She made her way upstairs and stood at the doorway to our room. Zander was bundled under the bed, his large frame huddled together, breaths deep and even. She stared at him for a moment longer and turned, she went down the hall to a room two doors down.She most definitely would not be staying with him. She could almost hear him arguing when he found out. She would still need to get her things from the room though and She really didn't want to go in while he was sleeping because knowing him, he'd just end up scaring her with his super senses and caging her in his arms. She dropped the bags in the guest closet, those would come later. Going back down She decided to cook something to eat, luckily all the food in this house was good. For some reason, She had thought that with her being gone Zander would somehow mess the beautiful house up.She decided
"Starting now?"She asked, uncrossing her legs and leaning in. He seemed to grasp what she said and stayed silent, struggling in a mental battle. "Even if it hurts me? Even if I don't like it and probably don't want to hear it?" She pushed on, standing up and walking up to him on the bed, making sure not to be too close. He didn't lift his head for a moment and just when she thought he wouldn't answer he lifted his head. "Yes. I give you my word that I will be honest with you from this point forward, even when you don't want me to be." He said, his blue eyes glowing with something she has never seen him look at her with. Respect.She looked down into his eyes for a moment, seeing the way he gazed back up, unblinkingly, worried, vulnerable and most of all, open. She gave him a small smile. It seemed Zander was a fast learner."Okay." She said walking around him to collect the plate and cup. "Okay?" He was repeatedly confused. At the same time, She went into the closet and as fast
Usually, when ROse changed back it's a quick and painless process where if you were to blink you could have missed it. But as the process finished she suddenly became very much aware of the glow around her body, but only because it was dimming as if clouds above were passing, a hot and pounding pain exploded in the back of her head, She snapped her eyes open as a tint of fury red and oranges covered everything in her sight making her gasp. As the transformation finished, her left wrist suddenly snapped at an unfamiliar angle, She let out a choked scream but clamped her lips shut and held her breath, letting both the burning need in her lungs and the need to scream try and overcome the pain from her wrist, which She cradled to her chest. Faintly, She made out the sound of snapping as she dropped to the ground from shock at the sudden pain. She took in a shaky breath as her hand and forearm began to throb and yet go numb at the same time. She couldn't tell which it was. The front doo
Waking up wasn't so hard to do when Rose knew Zander was outside of her door, sleeping did not come easy even though she was beyond exhausted. Being a mastermind was a bit tiring. When she rolled out of bed, She walked over to the bathroom and looked at her reflection. Hair all over the place, tired-looking eyes and the faint mark of the pillow on her face. All in all, She looked like crap. Turning on the sink, She splashed some cold water to wake herself up and rubbed at her eyes. She felt a bit foggy inside, unclear and disoriented as well as if she had chills, but at the same time not. Damn. She thought her wolf was feeling sick. She gave her a mental nudge, and Kalea, her wolf gave one back. She looked up into the mirror. The miraculous of water. She looked almost decent. Looking for a hairbrush and toothbrush was easy, once She combed her hair into place and held it down with a spare hair band, She brushed her teeth. After using the bathroom and a quick stretch she was
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
