I was screaming, I knew that I was because my mouth was wide open and my eyes squeezed shut as the pain escaped in waves of sound but I couldn't hear anything. My lips were puling back and my jaw tense but all of the sounds that I knew that I was making were muted. A black fog was cluttering my vis
Darian let me go, I grabbed the side of the couch to steady myself after he ripped his hand from my face and I heard a gasp- followed by a loud thud and something wet splattering on my face. “My King, that is enough, please.” Lady Hale snapped with a nervous twinge in her voice.I heard something h
All of us stood around each other, the fire sparked with big flames and with winds picked up behind us, blowing into the room from the glass doors that remained open. It bothered me to see the doors open like that, it was like they were goating us- leaving the doors open as if to say ’you’re free t
His shoulders went rigid and everyone drew a breath and held it captive in their lungs.He slowly turned around and I was begging that he didn't see the fear in my eyes. His eyes were black as they locked on mine in a threatening glare. “You growl at my men?” He asked ruggedly.I tried to straight
We stood in front of the house. The water from the damp grass pressed between my toes and I felt sting from the gras poking into my wounds.Darians men had apparently parked the car further away from the others for some privacy and as they went to get it I saw the other Alphas walk out with their gi
He pulled back and turned away from me as he walked back. But just as he was about to get in, he threw me a devious wink and then took a seat next to his mate.The doors closed, the car drove away and I saw their faces watching me with pity, I saw until I didn't and knew that I would most likely not
It was a long drive, we sat in that car for at least three hours before we reached the border- driving past packs on the way and even a village of rogues setting camp by the forest line.They were allowed to live in packs with a chosen Alpha in peace, as long as they didn't try to uproar against any
My hands started shaking, my feet were tapping restlessly against the plastic mats on the floor of the car and my heart was erratically beating in my chest. Any minute now I would start to hyperventilate, I knew my tells and if my breathing picked up a little more I would have a full blown panic at
“Your mother gave you a potion in a needle to stun your abilities?” Gabe was fighting back a growl as he walked in.Darian stood still in the back, equally as angry as his brother but when his eyes landed on me they softened and he smiled as he pushed off from the wall and walked over.Kiera nodded
Darian had to hurry off and help with the cleanup- after which he needed to get word out to all the members of the pack and let them know what had happened. I was aimlessly strolling around the bottom floor, unsure of where to start and what my job was right now. When I neared the door I saw Nora’s
Nora heaved where she stood a few feet away. It was a morbid sight- all the bodies that lay scattered, some in pieces and others like dolls- you’d think they were just asleep.The smell of decay rose in clouds; my eyes wouldn’t be able to see in a shade other than red for quite some time.“You did g
I slid on my knees when an arm shot out about to smack my throat and the ones I needed to fight on the way, I took care of. But I was close now, the Elder’s naturally hooded eyes were focused and his nose wrinkled as I closed the distance between us with a swift hit that he dodged. For an old wrinkl
The Elder staggered back and held a hand over his wounds but from the choking came a laugh, a dark chuckle as he lowered his hand and his wound started healing. That shouldn’t be happening, he should not be healing from that, not that quickly anyhow. Nora’s head whipped to the side when his fist cra
Every visible inch of the Elder’s skin turned cherry red, as he stood unharmed on the sidelines. There there was barely a nick on his wrinkled skin apart from the cut in his hand. The news of my pregnancy was not celebrated by anyone, let alone myself as we stood in the middle of a war field, our nu
“Why?” He sucked on his teeth and looked around the fight starting again.“I can’t say, but you can figure it out.” He grabbed my shoulders and gave me a light shake. “Figure it out, Hazel, and everyone will walk away from this,” he searched my eyes desperately, but his riddles were lost on me.“Yo
“Well it’s a shame that your future Queen chooses her own life over her people, of course enticed by her King to do so I’m certain,” the Elder’s voice scraped my ears like thorns when I walked out. He lifted his hand about to give another grand speech when his eyes rounded and landed on me. “Well,
It was impossible not to listen to the grunts and the last screams of a person before they fell dead. The bloodshed was already massive and the healers were running around to tend to all those who had been hurt.We had volunteers outside bringing in the wounded and the bodies of the dead ones were l
