Zadyre

I had told Brielle to go sleep that I was going to join her after I sent the guards out on the lookout for Sebastian and the weird woman that was with him. I had been so tense and seeing her there was not helping, I was finally done with everything I wanted to do so I was now making my way to our room.

When I got into the room and I let out a breathe of exhaustion as I moved to the bed to check on Brielle, she was not there. I thought maybe she was in the bathroom and I went to check but she was not there either, I checked every part of the room but it was empty and I just felt this eerie feeling like something was wrong.

“Brielle?” I called out but my voice just echoed around the room, not getting a response. My brows furrowed in confusion as I wondered where she could have gone by that time of the night.

Where could she be?

I walked out of the room in search of her but everywhere I searched, she was nowhere to be found. I was about to make my way out of the house when I he

    BrielleThe ropes dug into my wrists, burning with each attempt I made to pull free, but I couldn’t stop. The thought of Lydia out there, using my face, my voice, my body to hurt Zadyre- it was enough to drive me mad. Every fiber of my being screamed to break free, to warn him, to somehow stop the betrayal unfolding beyond these walls. But I was helpless. Bound and powerless, a captive in my own nightmare.“You can keep struggling as much as you want, Brielle,” Sebastian said in a mocking voice as he walked in and stood in front of me. I looked up to meet his eyes, he was watching me with a glint of wickedness and satisfaction in his eyes. “There won’t be a difference. You are exactly where we want you.”I rolled my eyes at him as I clenched my teeth together tightly and swallowed the knot in my throat. “Do you honestly think this is a game? Using people like pawns, twisting them to serve your sick plans. Zadyre will figure it out, Sebastian. He’ll see through this.” Sebastian laugh

    ZadyreAs I walked away from the room I had caught Brielle and another man in, my chest felt like it was caving in. Every heartbeat seemed to echo the image of her cold, mocking expression, the disdain in her voice as she looked at me- through me- with such scorn. My Brielle, the woman who had once been my light, my anchor, was now a stranger, as if a storm had swept through her soul and left a wreckage I could barely recognize.I wanted to believe it was some type of prank from her or a misunderstanding between us but the her words and how harsh and bitter they were kept on playing over and over again in my head, pushing away every thought of how it was a misunderstanding away. She had spoken and looked at me with so much hate and regret, her words were and they had sliced at my heart multiple times. Everything we had done together and said to each other felt like a lie, I felt betrayed and used, broken too.But still, despite everything, there was still this small flicker of hope in

    BrielleI was still in the same position that I was in since Orlando and Sebastian left me. I was still tied up and no matter how hard I tried to free myself but it was all to no avail. I was getting worried and frustrated every passing minute but there was nothing I could do. Just as I was about to struggle again, Lydia walked into the room and made her way to where I was. Lydia stood a few feet away, a smug smile twisting her features as she looked down at me. Her face was one I’d come to loathe in these past few hours of captivity, her eyes glinting with a twisted satisfaction that only deepened my hatred. “What do you want now?” I asked in a quiet voice that was filled with malice. “So eager to destroy everything Zadyre and I have built. But tell me, Lydia… who are you really doing this for? Is it for yourself? Or are you just another puppet for Orlando and Sebastian?”She let out a small laugh but I could see the doubt in her eyes and I knew I had struck a nerve. Good. I grabbe

    ZadyreI made my way to our room to confront Brielle and ask her what was wrong with her. I was determined to get my answers no matter what. When I entered to the room, there she on the bed, looking at me seductively and I was quite shocked. “Brielle…” I started to say as I walked closer to her, trying to think my words through to avoid hurting her if she was truly Brielle. She looked up at me through her eyelashes, her eyes were filled with lust. “Zadyre,” she purred, her voice almost right but not quite, the edge of it sharp and too deliberate. She moved closer, the sway of her hips exaggerated, her gaze lingering on me with a brazen intensity that made my skin crawl.It felt wrong. Brielle had always looked at me with warmth, with a mixture of fire and tenderness, not… whatever this was. But I played along, suppressing the flicker of doubt gnawing at me. I needed to be certain before I acted.She placed her hands on my chest as she walked even closer into me, her seductive scent

    Zadyre “Do I?” she replied, her smile widening, a cruel gleam in her eyes. “We’ll see about that, Zadyre. But just know that I am going to make you suffer and I’d enjoy watching you while at it.” I clenched my teeth and balled my hands into fists by my side. How dare she? The monster of a woman was standing in front of me and rambling about how she was going to ruin me and I couldn’t help but scoff at how stupid she was sounding. I was still lost in my thoughts when she spoke up again. “Oh, Zadyre,” she sneered, her voice dripping with mockery. “Don’t look so shocked. Did you really think you could just live your happy little life, forgetting all about me? About the hell you put me through? No baby, you are not going to get to ruin me and just go scot-free like that.” I so badly wanted to strangle her and get rid of her but I needed her to stay alive so I could get to Brielle and find out her plans. “If you hurt Brielle or my children, I swear-“ She cut me off, waving a hand dism

    Zadyre I clenched my teeth even tighter and I was sure my teeth could fall from how hard it was, I needed to find a way to get her to Damon but how was I going to do it?An idea popped up in my head and I decided to follow through with it. “How about you come with me to Damon so I can tell him about our new ‘relationship’ and so that he won’t question it all later,” I said to her as I tried to sound as convincing as possible.She took in my words and I could see she was thinking it through. While she was still pondering on it, I decided to go ahead with my plan even if it was risky. “Okay sure,” she replied me while smiling as she finally finished thinking it through. I held out my hand for her to hold but she looked at it for a while and she was hesitant. After what felt like hours, she finally placed her hand in mine and once I was certain she had relaxed her body, I held onto her tightly and let my anger finally come through. “Stop holding on to me so tightly, let go of me Zad

    ZadyreThe smirk on his face only made me angrier, but I forced myself to listen. If he knew something that could lead me to Brielle, I’d put up with his arrogance… for now. “Where?” I demanded, my voice sharper than I intended.“We can’t say that here because one if them could hear us and I form them of us coming,” he whispered as he moved closer to me and I nodded in understanding. He was right even if I hated to admit it, we had to do everything in save so as to catch them unaware. “Okay then,” I replied him as I finally calmed myself down. “Lead the way.”A smirk made its way to his face and it looked suspicious but before I could mention it, he nodded his head and started walking towards the door and I followed suite. He kept walking until we got to the woods and I wondered where we heading. “Where are we going to?” I asked him but I got no response. “At least answer me, we are far from the mansion and no one can hear us now.”“Just trust me okay? We are almost there,” Orlando

    ZadyreWhen I finally woke up, my head was banging and I was confused. E try part of my body was aching and I felt like a heavy weight was placed on top of me. I struggled to open my eyes and even when I did, it felt like I was blind and it had been so long before I had finally woken up. I struggled to see as I blinked back and finally saw clearly. My eyes met with Brielle- she was tied up and she looked beaten up, braised and barely conscious. My eyes shifted to beside her and I saw my kids, they were also tied up and teary eyed, they looked so scared and I couldn’t help but feel my throat tighten up at the sight of them. Orlando had done this and I wouldn’t spare him, I swore to myself. I tried to sit up from where I was but my body didn’t cooperate with me. As I struggled to keep getting up, Orlando walked into the room or would I call it cell with a stupid smirk in his face. His expression was filled with triumph, an arrogance I’d seen before but had never thought he’d direct a

    DamonThe sounds around me suddenly went silent. I could do no other thing than panic as we walked outside and I set my eyes on Amelia that was in the pool of her own blood. Her hand trembled over her stomach and her dress was soaked with her own blood. My chest tightened and it felt like I was being stabbed over and over again in my heart. For the first time in decades, fear consumed me. Not just fear- terror.Brielle ran to her and started talking to her but I didn’t hear anything, I walked to her and I dropped to my knees beside her, ignoring the roar of the battle continuing behind me.“Amelia!” My voice cracked, raw and desperate. Her lashes fluttered weakly, her breath shallow. Her usually fiery eyes, the ones that taunted and challenged me endlessly, were glassy and unfocused.I pressed my hands to the wound, my fingers slick with her blood. “You’re not leaving me. Do you hear me?” My voice was a growl now, a plea wrapped in steel. I could feel her slipping, her life force dimm

    AmeliaIt was the day of the wedding and we were finally out of captivity. Damon and I had tried to escape but it was futile. Later on, Sebastian had come to our rescue and even if we were weary at first we decided to trust him. The palace was in chaos as everyone prepared for the wedding. Sebastian had told us of his plan already and I was ready for how the day was going to turn out. Maids and guards were going back and forth as they prepare the hall for the wedding, they didn’t want to be on the receiving end of Orlando’s fury. I avoided Damon most of the morning, finding excuses to busy myself with Brielle.But even amidst the turmoil, my thoughts were elsewhere.I was pregnant. I had found out earlier that morning and I hadn’t been able to process things well since then. I hadn’t told anyone- not even said the words out loud to myself. I felt like saying it would make it more real and I wasn’t sure I wanted to accept the truth. I placed a hand over my stomach and let out a shak

    AmeliaThe days at the resort passed in an awkward, suffocating blur. Damon’s rejection echoed in my mind, a relentless loop of words that stung more than I cared to admit. I tried my best to stay out of his way and pretended like the pull of the bond that was dragging me to him was nonexistent. I avoided him as best as I could, but we were staying the same room and tension was thick and suffocating. Every time my eyes fell on him, I would feel my hear ache- it was longing for his love and touch but I knew it was something I couldn’t get- something I would never get. I buried myself in helping Brielle and Zadyre with their problems. It was easier to focus on them than to face my own mess. Brielle had enough to deal with without me adding my drama to the mix, so I kept my distance and my mouth shut.When we returned to the pack, the air felt different. Heavier. Maybe it was just me, carrying the weight of the unspoken bond between Damon and me. Or maybe it was the way the pack still

    DamonThe discussion I had with Zadyre earlier played over and over again in my head as I drove through the road, holding on to the steering wheel tightly. “You know you’re the only I trust and know can do this, Damon,” he had said in a very serious tone. “The border spell will keep us safe, but it has to be precise. If it falters, Sebastian and his allies could find us before we’re ready.”“I know it’s an easy task,” I had replied him as I shrugged it off. But Zadyre’s expression had told me this wasn’t like the other times.“And,” he continued, glancing at Brielle and the kids in the distance, “I need you to keep Amelia in line. She can be of help.”I’d raised an eyebrow at that. “Of help? Sounds like a handful.”“Just take her with you,” Zadyre muttered, his gaze darkening. “She’s loyal and she can keep an eye on you. She can even help you.”Now, as Amelia sat in the passenger seat beside me, her arms crossed and her glare cutting through the silence, I wondered if Zadyre had unde

    A sneak peak to Damon’s point of view of when he first met AmeliaDamon’s POVThe drive back to Brielle’s location was tense, filled with an unspoken urgency. Zadyre was silent in the passenger seat, his gaze fixed on the horizon. He hadn’t said much since I convinced him to come back and get her. Convincing him hadn’t been easy; his stubbornness was unmatched, and his pride even more so. But I couldn’t let him leave her behind.“She’s your mate, Zadyre,” I’d told him earlier, my tone sharp. “You can’t just abandon her. You’ve been through hell, and so has she. The least you can do is protect her.”He’d gritted his teeth, jaw tight, before muttering something about her safety being more important than his presence. But I knew better. Their bond was very strong and undeniable, no matter how much he tried to pretend he wasn’t drawn towards her or needed her. As we got closer to the house where Brielle was supposedly at, I could feel Zadyre’s body tensing up. It was radiating off him li

    The End… Or the Beginning? BrielleDays have passed and everything had for back to the way they always were. It was morning and after breakfast, we decided to take the kids outside. The pack lands were now more beautiful after we had gotten rid of every evil that plagued it. There trees were lush, the rivers clear, the people happy and the air was filled with the smell of the beautiful and blooming flowers. It was like Mother Nature was happy that we were healing from the past so so she was helping to hasten the process. Nikki and Micah were running in front of us as they chased each other though the garden with their laugh echoing across the beautiful sky. Rachael was walking in front of us too both not as playfully as her brothers, she had always been much calmer and smarter than them. Zadyre and I walked behind them while holding hands and letting the peacefulness of the park and the air wash past us. It felt surreal, this calm after the storm.“You know,” I began, my voice sof

    BrielleImmediately Orlando fell to the ground in the hall and lost his life, I felt a surge of energy burst through from him and enter into me. It felt like something that I didn’t know was missing from my body finally came into place and I felt that wild energy course through me though it was tamer than before. It was overwhelming and terrifying all at once but I soon relaxed my body and the tension left as I welcomed it. My powers. They were back.I gasped as the strength and connection to my wolf rushed through my veins, stronger than ever. It was like breathing again after years of suffocation. It was too late to save devastation as he had breathed his last so I rushed over to Zadyre that was still battered and bloody, his wounds had not healed at all and I could see the life slipping out of him gradually. His breathing was unsteady and shallow and his chest rose and fell but it was faint. “Zadyre!” I cried as I moved closer to him. I didn’t know where to touch him, I didn’t kno

    Sebastian I could feel myself losing a lot of blood and my life slipping away, my body was aching a lot and even breathing was painful. Everything became blurry but I tried so hard to stay awake and alive, I had something to say to Zadyre and I wouldn’t die without telling him what I had in mind. I turned my head to the direction where Zadyre laid motionless with Brielle by his side. His body was battered and covered in blood and regret washed over me. I had done this, how had we gotten here?I let out a shaky breathe as different mentors from the past came flooding into my mind- memories of my anger, my acting out and of me being wicked. I had hated Zadyre and did a lot of bad things to him because I had thought he was the reason we were orphans but I was wrong and I knew the truth now. And as I slowly but surely lost my life, I needed to let him know and I couldn’t die without his forgiveness. Brielle was crying and I could she was torn between staying with Zadyre and coming to c

    Brielle“Zadyre!” I called, and he glanced back at me just long enough to understand what I was about to do but Orlando must have noticed that we were silently communicating because when I moved closer to him, he turned his attention away from Zadyre and punched me. “Brielle!” Zadyre yelled but he couldn’t stop Orlando or get to me. The force from Orlando’s punch had me being flown across the room like a rag doll. My body hit the stone wall with a loud thud and I fell to the ground, the stone I had held and watched to use on Orlando had lodged itself against my chest and I had an open would. Every breathe I took felt like I was being stabbed in the lungs over and over again but I couldn’t be weak or just stay there, I had to do something to help Zadyre. My vision started becoming blurry and I tried to sit up but it was hard. I managed to get the stone out of my body and my eyes glanced to the side where Damon and Sebastian were engaged in a serious fight with Lydia. She was a storm
