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
In the three hours, Zander has spent teaching Rose various things from controlling how much focus she put in her sense of smell, how to hold back on her strength if she thought everything around her as an eggshell (Harder than you think), focusing her eyes on what she wanted and tuning things out, she learned three important things about Zander.The first, he was insanely good at motivating her.Second, he was good at telling when she faked understanding and getting the hang of things.Third, he was one of those teachers."Zander, I swear to-" Rose said through clenched teeth."It's Mr. Blackwood!"He interrupted playfully harshly.Rose didn't even know there could be such a tone until now and man would it have been a turn-on if they weren't in the situation they are now."It's Mr. Blackwood," she mimicked him, ignoring his loud not so playful snarl.She struggled not to let go of the bar inside of the gym
When Zander finished and they cleaned everything, Rose was surprised to see him growl agitated, and then pull out his phone and begin to walk away from her.were they done for the day?she thought excited,"So does this mean I can go out without you?"she asked already eager to see the outside.He turned half to her with a scolding yet sorry look on his face."Not even close, can you give me a moment, I have a call to make." He asked, she nodded and he began to walk away."You know I'll probably be able to hear you no matter how far you go now."She taunted out to him sitting cris cross on the couch."Yes, but I doubt you'll be able to focus on this conversation out of everything that makes a sound or moves. Besides, the farther I get from you the less the phone's static will bother your ears."He said already very far away, he was fast even when he was slow. . .dang.Rose wondered how fast sh
Rose threw the doctor a small smile. The doctor stared back at her as if she was crazy and seemed to be about to open his mouth but then his eyes looked behind her and widened a bit and then without missing a beat he gave her a large smile."Of course, Luna, I wouldn't even hesitate to forgive you. Attacking me and almost ripping my goddamn- I mean attacking me was totally understandable. There's nothing to forgive. . . not at all. . . Ha. .. ha. .. ha. . ahh..."He trailed off oddly, his body shaking as his eyes flickered from behind her to her eyes. Through, the bond she felt a sort of darkness from Zander's side and pulled back from it. A blank expression made its way onto her face."Are you glaring at him, Zander ?" She asked dryly."No." He said calmly behind her."You sure?" she asked again."Yes, right Dr. Leonard?" He asked or more like ordered, she rolled her eyes."Oh yes." Dr. Leonard answered quickly.I don't think his answer counts anymore, our mate has made the doctor h
"Oh, I'm sure she’ll give her one hundred per cent," Zander said confidently, his other hand landing beside her mark, Rose tensed as he began rubbing the mark slowly and softly with his thumb. Her lower muscles tightened, her body responding to his touch directly on her mark.The humming didn't start, instead, a direct call to her heat did. They talked for a second and then the doctor was out, all the while her body was still unavailable to move as Zander's thumb played her body like a puppet with just one touch. Zander removed his hands and walked the doctor out, giving her a moment to breathe and collect herself.There was someone else with him, but only Zander entered the second new person stayed outside when he came back in she managed a good expression.Did you just volunteer me for exercise? Her wolf joked."What was that?" she asked with a levelled tone.He ran a hand through his hair, she wanted to do that for a moment."I knew you would reject the idea if we even asked you s
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
