Her calm was cracking."The bone breaking, the rough texture and feel of whatever you're wearing or laying on, each and every cell on your body harden to create rougher skin and at the same time, each and every hair grow out of the skin, feeling as if little needles are growing from out of your skin. The way your ribs break and then grow larger, how your organs tighten up, the expanding of your face to make the snout and the most painful part has to be your spin breaking in order for all of this to happen. You'd think that would mean everything goes numb. . .but it's the opposite actually."He said, his voice projecting through the room but no emotion hinting anything. She listened with attentiveness, a vivid picture painting itself in her mind. His words made her want to run for the hills and hide but what would that do?"And after. Will every shift hurt?""No. It will be quicker and the more you shift the more the pain turns into nothing."Well, at least it wasn't going to be like t
Walking out of the room, Zander knew he probably should have at least tried to act casual in front of her but he couldn't. Not now. Not now that he was so close to his revenge. He travelled in the last cover of darkness in the forest surrounding the house, the clouds in the sky darkening as the minutes passed, the sent in the sky was that off before it rained. As Zander entered the premises of the farthest corner of the island, he nodded to the two men in front, entering the cave he went down further and further until he reached the war room. Stefan, Vilkas, Damon, and Maverick were already in deep discussion, leaning over the large table with countless maps and papers. The men all quieted down as Zander entered, their faces concealing whatever emotions they were honestly thinking. "Report," Zander ordered, they were quick to respond, knowing his patients only went so far on this mission. "We've discovered where the door has been hidden and have managed to lock it down in place. We
It started with the throwing up. Rosabel hadn't even fully eaten that morning but what she did matter because it came right back up. She hated throwing up, mostly because she was the type of person who once she started couldn't seem to stop. This was not an exception. Her stomach was empty instead of full when lunchtime came around. She could feel her organs clenching tighter, pushing whatever food was left out, even the water she had tried to drink. When She had finally calmed down, she was shaking with cold sweat, for some reason lying in the bed made it worse since the usually soft texture of the silk and cotton seemed like sandpaper to her skin, so She sat down on the cold ground. She put her head in between her knees hoping to feel better. At least your humour was still intact. Then came the voice. She was back. And she seemed so loud. Her voice rang too loud and too clear in her head. Missed me? Mini purred. Rose squeezed her eyes shut tightly, it wanting to hear her
Rose’s ears were assaulted with the sound of heavy pattering, something sliding something and a splash that sounded as if a bomb went off next to her ear. Her head throbbed and She whimpered as more bombs went off making her flinch.Her breathing was heavy and She felt as if something was leaving her and clouding her face. Something squeezed her hand making her look back at the sad angel. He looked so familiar, touch so familiar, eyes . . . her back tingled stronger.“Why.."She tried to croak out but she couldn't finish. Not when the tingling turned into a fierce stabbing. Not when the bottom of her spine suddenly broke making her back lift off the ground. She gave out a pain-filled scream that didn't seem to end until her lungs burned.She screamed to the top of her lungs as the tingling that had turned into stabbing made its way up her spine slowly and painfully. Something made a sound next to her but she drowned them out with her wails.The more her spine broke the harder her back
Rosabel tried to pull her hand out from his to get him to lay down, but he wouldn't let her, even though that pain he wouldn't let her hand go. She tried to get him to take her hand so She could maneuver him down but he refused. Did he need to hold my hand? She thought.Then she remembered how as soon as he took hold of her hand the numbing began. He needed contact with her to take the pain. She tried even harder to pull away from him now knowing, each whimper and grunt pushing her further. It lightened her chest to know he would take the pain for her, especially when he already must have had to do it once, he didn't have to again but he was. "No." He spit out through gritted teeth. "Why?" She choked out, tears streaming down her face along with the never ending rain that drowned them. Was he drowning as I was?She thought. He lifted his head slowly, wet black hair dripping all over his face, agonized, fierce and watery blue eyes looked straight at me,the corner of his lip t
Rose and Zander ran for the longest time. Rose didn't tire fast but, She was still new so stopped near a large pond, drinking the water there. Zander stopped a few feet away from her, his beauty both deadly and attractive to her as he stood on the top of the small cliff in front of the pond. He gazed down at her. She looked down at the pond and was startled a little at the animal before her Large black eyes that watched every move stared back at her, silver fur covered a lean and fit build, her beast's body was larger than she thought. She looked down at her clawed hands and raised one watching as the reflection did the same. When She dipped a claw into the pond she watched the ripples work on her reflection. She looked back up into Zander's gazing beast. She knew she couldn't hide her secret anymore. He looked at her for a minute more and then up at the moon, his snout opened showing the razor sharp teeth she both feared at first and felt and let out a loud howl. A few seconds
When Rose woke up the next day she felt different from other mornings, refreshed and energized, but there was something else. She could feel the beast just as present in her mind as her wolf but instead of fearing her, she let her be.She seemed content.She could hear things both inside and outside, she could see the dust partials in the air and could smell the different scents in the air, they were strong and almost painful but there was one. The heaviest and most intoxicating had to be the one that surrounded her the most. She was also hearing very, very faint conversations but she couldn't make out the actual words since they seemed to be so far away.How good was my hearing?Rose thought as she saw surrounded by soft and smooth material, the bed she realized, but warm arms were wrapped around her body, pushing her against a solid chest that was breathing up and down slowly. She could tell the sun was high and bright in the sky because the room was illuminated in a soft glow, ligh
Zander crossed his arms over his broad chest and looked down at Rose with playful sternness, the corners of his lips pulling up."You will refer to me as Mr. Blackwood from now on ,because I am your teacher. I must warn you though-"He said walking around her slowly"..rewards will only be given when you succeed. And when you don't. . ." He trailed huskily off.Rose bit her bottom lips to hold back a smile but didn't stop her head from shaking at his joke,him a teacher? Please. She felt the goosebumps raise on her body, she heard the shift in the air and tried to move but even with her heightened sense and speed she both couldn't dodge him because he was better experienced than her and because she couldn't quite comprehend what was going on until it happened.She squeaked as a hard smack hit her behind, she covered her butt and turned around to glare at Zander who had a smirk on his face."You-""Now, get downstairs so we can start. Or you get detention in five, four-""You can't b
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
