Escape Attempt

Andricia

My blood runs ice-cold as I stare up at my near-lifeless mate staked to the wall. His blood leaks from his throat and wrists. The two goons are on the ground unconscious and I stand pulling out each stake in his wrists. I pull the one at his throat, and he falls into me. I lay him down gently and tore the flesh on my wrist open. My blood leaks down into his mouth.

“Silas?” I shook him slightly. He doesn’t move, and his eyes look dull like he isn’t within himself. I see the goons getting up and recovering, and I scoot backward away from them, tears streaming down my face.

“Si!” I screamed desperately, but no movement still.

Little bird?

He is quiet in my head once more. The goon’s eyes land on me and I still don’t see Silas moving at all.

You need to run, little bird! Don’t let them catch you!

    Chasing DreamsSilas“Mother fucker!” I smashed a hole in the brick where I was staked. All the alpha’s eyes snap at me startled. It’s been two weeks since she’s been missing, and he has had her this whole time. Her smell has faded outside, but now I know where he took her. My smart little bird led me straight to it. I get a big whiff of her and look at the ground. I can see her reliving her dream again. I’m not sure what they have her on, but it is really doing a number on her mind. The fact that she is reliving the same nightmare over and over is awful, and does she even know it actually happened? I am whisked away after her running through the woods. She looks over her shoulder a lot and I only see the alphas behind us, no one else. She stops and I step in front of her. She looks startled. I wrapped my arms around her, but she vanished into thin air. The alphas look at me with confused and curious expressions. Except Samson, who is staring dead behind me with glowing eyes. I see th

    The Whole Damn Flame Andricia The curtains are pulled open and I grumble hiding under the comforter. Sleep seldom comes now but when it does I pray to the goddess to wake me. I drown in nightmares the same one replays even when I close my eyes to blink. Cerberus is missing I’m not sure what happened to her but I wish I had her to interrupt my thoughts and nightmares. I don’t even know the people in my dream. I don’t know the people I’m surrounded by daily. I’ve noticed are only women who are all vampire hybrids with the same bite on the wrist. I asked who their leader was and to speak to them but I barely got an answer. The only one that talks to me is Sienna. She is super nice. Not really she is kind of an ass but I like it. She is the only one that doesn’t tiptoe around me. She is honest and always puts me in my place. I still know nothing about her and every time I ask she leaves or changes the subject ignoring me. “Miss it is time for breakfast.” A soft nervous voice pulls me

    Ruby-Red Andricia Two ruby-red eyes stare down at me. His face is porcelain white and chiseled to perfection. His black hair was a big contrast styled neatly with a perfect shine. A fancy deep violet shirt with intricate silver embroidery adorning it lays clad on his body with the top couple of buttons undone. A silver pendant hangs from his neck with red liquid inside. A loud demanding hum fills the room causing the air to almost vibrate coming from him as he continues petting my head to soothe me. My mouth is dry and tears have stopped falling. I try to scoot away quickly but he grips my bicep tightly. Pulling me to him effortlessly and swiping my hair to the side looking at my neck. What’s wrong with my neck? “Soon Little Flame.” All at once he releases me and leaves the room without me even getting a glimpse of him. His speed is uncanny and it’s almost as if he knew I was gonna try to run before I did. Who is he and where am I? I’m even more confused and have no sense of who I

    Andricia “Little bird.” The sweet voice echoes through the woods from my attacker. I hit my head pretty hard and he kicked my ribs in pretty good. I’m not going down without a fight though. So I fled but his voice carried and goosebumps ran up my spine from the sound of his voice. “Run little bird.” I can hear my heartbeat in my ears and see a road as I approach. I cross it quickly and continue to run. My feet bleed from the sharp sticks and rocks on the forest floor. I don’t stop though until I see a building. I run for it and close the door falling down a flight of stairs in the darkness. My head smacks concrete hard at the bottom and my vision blurs not that I can see much anyway. Nails drag across my scalp as burning pain erupts where someone grabs a large handful of my hair and begins dragging me across the floor. I squirm feeling my hair tear from my scalp. I am thrown over their shoulder as I dangle fighting to stay conscious. My back slams into something hard and cold and I

    SilasI have spent the last week searching for Kain. He is nearly impossible to be found even if he wants to be let alone if he doesn’t. All I can do is hope he isn’t hiding. I didn’t see much of what transpired between Justin and Kain because he cut me off early so I’m unsure of Kain’s intentions with my blood mate. We are gathered in the office but I sit drowning out their talk about war that is falling upon us from our actions. Instead, I focus on Kain his looks his scent everything about him. I search the world but my mind grows fuzzy momentarily and an ache forms in my chest. I try to ignore it and continue searching but a nagging continues to bug me. An inhuman hiss of frustration spews from me just as I am pulled into a dark void. Panic fills me and I feel my body react to it but can't taste its tang in my mouth and know it's not my own.‘What has happened to this poor girl?’ Thoughts fly past me not of my own.

    AndriciaI sit in the garden looking up at the full moon. The image of those blue eyes between my legs has been haunting my every thought and dream but I saw them. The beautiful stranger isn’t Kain and I had stopped him that day. For whatever reason this beautiful stranger has taken over my mind and is consuming me. I sigh and run my clammy hands down my blush dress that is nearly just as revealing as the white one from before. Kain had a guest and excused himself but I told him I would wait for him right here. I hear his footsteps along with another’s but I don’t tear my eyes from the moon. Its glow is encasing me and awakening something deep inside of me that I’m not sure I knew was there but it feels so familiar.“Little flame meet my friend Justin.” Kain's formal voice lands on my ears something I don’t hear when it is just us around. I turn standing up and see a man with Kain who is about the same size. He is built more bu

    SamsonI feel something burning my hand and open it to see a strange pendent with a broken chain. Silas takes it from my hand and I hunch over in pain.“We have to get back now!” The pain of losing my mate wasn’t as bad as I thought and I never felt our tether snap. The shimmer fades around me and I hear wolves colliding. I look around and see most of the fallen wolves are the rogues not many of Justin’s pack are still here and the rest run off out of our territory. I see Kendrick and Duron running toward Cyrus who is lying on the ground. I want to go to him but my feet won’t move they are planted. The image of his canines breaking her soft skin makes my stomach churn. I fall to my knees and look to my hand I had her in my hand. Someone shakes my shoulders and I look into Silas’ icy blue eyes. They are full of concern and anger.“Did you feel the tether snap?” He shouts over the Chaos around us. I shake my

    Silas We sit in the office talking strategy before we leave. All of the warriors are outside awaiting orders. Kira, Jax, and Zek are all in the office with us. Lorissa is preparing Fusilis making them spar to get the fire in them moving. Augustus is hanging back to ensure the pack lands are secure while we are gone. Duron has mapped out our route to take because my shimmering two full packs will completely drain me. I feel sick and a burning in my shoulder. They are torturing my little bird and it’s killing me inside. I feel her whimpers they make goosebumps form over my skin. Shaking me to my very core. She is begging me to take her pain away. The thought of her will to live leaving her has me antsy and ready to strike. I feel a disturbance in the veil around us and my fangs seem to elongate my eyes shifting to the glowing blood red. A deep purple glittering shimmer fills the office and power pours into the small room. Kain appears out of thin air and the A

    Andricia"I think you are exactly as you are meant to be, and just what this pack needs." Footsteps sound in the distance and a hush falls over the meadow as they slowly make their way toward us. I rise to my feet before giving a hand to Reagan and helping her up. She takes one last look at the wildflowers before disappearing toward the treeline and into it. Samson's arms wrap around me from behind and I lean into his touch. Soaking up the warmth radiating from him as the smell of fresh rainfall washes over me. Hot lips connect with the mark on my neck awakening the fire within me. I turn in his arms running my hand through his hair drowning in his green eyes. Our lips crash together in a bruising kiss and I grab hold of that ancient power living within me and we disappear into glittering light.Resurfacing in our room my back slams into the wall and we don't break the kiss once. Feeling the need to touch his skin take over I burn away my clothes and his own as they fall to ash at our

    AndriciaMy heartbeat throbs in my ears at the revelation. Drowning out the discussion being had and plans that could protect the packs. An army of witches and wolves is fine but a beast that has been extinct for a century... Where have they been all these years? Why team up with the witch in the first place? The outcome of an army of lycans would be catastrophic for us. There will be no victory unless I can unleash my flame on the Lycans and Tarot."I thought they were extinct." I finally chime in halting all conversation and planning. Realizing Cyrus had been caressing my side this entire time as a means of comfort. I suppose creating allies and planning for war is all new for me. My mates have endured battle forged alliances and gotten their hands dirty when needed all for the sake of their pack. All I've ever done is protect my lands from witches and keep us alive. They are the embodiment of hope and I'm where it dies. There was never any hope in my land after the males died off.

    AndriciaWhite powdery snow puffs into the air as Kain slides through it. The force that was behind Gwen's magic had me clutching my chest. I snap my focus back to Silas playing a game of dodging the spells with shimmering. Kain is already on his feet shimmering through this world with impeccable speed. Jackson meanders his way over taking up space beside me now. He had been practicing shimmering short distances. He is at a disadvantage and out of practice due to being frozen."What's the point in all of this? You don't even know what you're up against." I don't bother peeling my focus from Silas but cringe as he takes a blow. The feeling is strange, not pain but I can feel a dull ache where he feels the pain. Could he feel anytime I was in pain? If so how did he endure the pain inflicted by Justin?"There will be witches, I've encountered my fair share to know that the number of witches practicing dark magic is rising. I couldn't bear living with myself if I sent anyone into this war

    Andricia “You fear that I will soak this world in blood yet you offer yours to me first.” His voice is ancient an accent I'm unfamiliar with yet understand perfectly. Silas is similar yet so different as it has aged just as he has. Jackson is still a newborn unfamiliar with the world he now lives in. Believing he is the biggest threat to walk this earth—a threat yes but not the largest one we've encountered. “You would be smart to hold your tongue. A legend you may have become but don't be a fool. This world will chew you up until you are nothing but bones and when it does I will be there to burn whatever is left of you to ash that will be carried away on a breeze and forgotten forever. Unless you join me. We can teach you how to survive and prepare you for what awaits.” He remains silent just as Silas and Kain await whatever comes from Jackson's mouth next. After a good while, I begin to grow impatient the flame thrumming within me, flowing through my veins begging to be released.

    SilasIce fills my veins at the sound of his name off my bond's lips. I growl her burning eyes locked on my icy ones. I can't bother to mind the confusion from the Alphas and yank on the glimmering bond between us hissing down at her.'You must be joking.' I hiss in warning but she doesn't yield an inch. I can see her plans unfolding in my mind as if they were my own. I can't lie they are good but dangerous. Unleashing him on the world again could be catastrophic. How did she keep this plan from me? Like she blocked me from her mind. I may have been busy with Kain and Gwen but I still had her in my mind. She is always consuming my mind I'm not sure why it would change now. Had I truly been that distracted? A gentle caress down the bond shuts down my thoughts and her burning flame creates a glorious barrier keeping me from her mind. I reach a phantom hand out to it but it doesn't burn me. Instead, it opens and I once again hear and feel everything from her."You mean like the bedtime s

    AndriciaThe cover of the treeline surrounds me. I stand helpless looking at the event playing before me. Reagan crumbles to the ground, and the sob filling the air cracks my heart. I sway on my feet momentarily before two hands land on my hips keeping me on my feet. Silas presses closer to me where my wings would have been he fills. My mates swoop in holding Reagan and Augustus as they mourn the loss of the woman whose name I still hadn't learned. Taking notice of the pack that was outside training now kneeling with their heads hung. A devastating loss for this pack. A calculated attack that would leave the leading members wounded and disoriented for a while. However as this packs Luna I will not allow any harm to come to anyone as they grieve this loss. The loss falls entirely on my shoulders as if it were my hand that ripped her throat out.The moon is almost to the peak of the sky directly above us. Crisp air nips at my exposed back in the midnight blue material that hangs from my

    AndriciaSo beautiful. The thought zips down the bond and I flush from head to toe in the pale blush floor-length dress Silas gave me. The gauzy material whispers against the floor and the sheer sleeves show off my tanned skin below. The back is open on the shoulders where my wings are free to be if I wish. Our short time away had been so enlightening and helped me gain access to the power locked within me. Our bond is stronger and so beautiful it sparkles within me. I close the distance between Silas and me the fire dissipating from the hearth as it makes its way back within me. He brushes my loose hair behind my ear before his lips softly caress my own and the world around us fades to nothing. We linger a little longer on the other side drinking in each other before resurfacing in Golden Summit. My wings gleam in the sunlight and the grounds quiet as the pack notices us."How'd you do it?" Gwen's voice pulls my attention from Silas. She stands with Kain at the bottom of the pack hou

    AndriciaThe ice fringes the edge of my vision before I am plunged down into the frozen water nothing but darkness surrounding me. Down, down, into the frozen depths of darkness until suddenly I'm yanked above the surface gasping for air. The snow is blinding in the frozen peaks that surround me. Silas' bare chest is against my now bareback. I'm soaked in water my skin shining under the rising sun. My neck tingles instead of the searing pain I felt in my nightmare. When my fingers connect with it I feel Cyrus caress the bond between us. He is there and understands what I just experienced even if he isn't here with me now. Silas, he would've seen it all and felt exactly what I felt and seen exactly what it was that haunts me. His hold on me is gently and reassuring the ice he used to pull me from my nightmare resting just below his skin. The same way the fire within me does. The dream is an omen. It will only get worse before it gets better.I need to be ready for it. If I'm not strong

    Andricia“You were dying.” The raw emotion in his voice was enough to push all other worries out of my mind and focus entirely on him. Silas continues running smooth circles on my skin. His face is grave and I can see the tension in his jaws. A distant look in his eyes as he no doubt recounts it all.“I could feel your soul tearing itself from you. The bond poisons you if not fed from.” I chew my bottom lip mulling over his words. If he saw me why didn't he come for me sooner? How exactly did he even see me? I never saw him except for when Kain fed from me and in my nightmares."But if you made him feed from me..." The sick feeling of sand running along my insides and my stomach clenching. I spewed in the toilet unable to stomach the feeling. It had felt like a relief initially but then my body must've realized it wasn't Silas who was feeding from us. I wonder did he feel the discomfort I felt? I felt The stomach-wrenching betrayal smothered by the all-consuming confusion because I ha
