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
My bags were taken from the car and carried inside the house by a large man in a seamless red vest and black undershirt. He didn't speak, not a single word of hello or his name; just a grunt when he closed the trunk. Come to think of it, nobody had said a word to me since I stepped out of the car.
Darian called for the frumpy old lady to show me around and she did, though with a scowl deeper than her wrinkles.She was clear to mention the parts of the house that were too good for my presence, such as the kings office, his bedroom, the meeting hall and then she opted to disclose that the attac
I was still in my white dress. My skin was exposed in more ways than one and Mr Bates was watching every inch of it. My heart was beating in my chest and it wasn't until now that I realized I still hadn't eaten.Trixy hadn’t spoken in hours, I could barely feel her presence so it was just me. Me, a
I woke up in the infirmary unable to move at first. The pain running from my head to my knees was keeping me put and the sheets were stained with the blood from my wounds.The first thing I saw was Miss Elise, she sat on a chair reading a book and she looked calm if it wasn't for her foot tapping aw
The doctor had been in here and told me about the internal bleeding, broken rib, and the various wounds I had spread out across my body. He told me to be careful like it was my fault and I had fallen from a cliff or something.Maybe that was the lie he was told but I doubted it. They knew what had h
After a run that felt like it had lasted for a week, I looked back to see how far away from the palace we had gotten but my heart sank when I could spot the tower sticking up behind the trees. How in the world was I supposed to disappear in this place?But we didn't slow down and I forced my steps o
“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
