Darian held my gaze and his ’I am’ was lost on me. How on earth was he helping the situation? He wasn't doing anything to get us out or make his former queen shut the hell up. She was just allowed to say whatever she wanted and we just had to stand her and listen to her mid-numbing voice that made m
My arms were stretched out and I was ready to catch her but her features twisted in confusion and it made sense, she had no reason to trust me. To her I was a stranger who somehow stood in her home with a King she thought wanted her mother dead, oblivious to the fact that he was her dad. Our eyes l
Darian was heading toward Mr. Light and Nate, the Elder had created distance from them to keep his ass safe for the moment. He locked in on them, everyone knew what they had done, and they knew it was over, but before he could reap his vengeance the door burst open and the Dark Guards ran in. Their
DARIAN’S POVFuck, I don’t know what’s better; the feeling of their warm flesh around my hand, the smell of their blood as it covers the floor like a red carpet, or the taste of their lives when I rip it from them and watch their souls leave their bodies.Death wasn't immediate, even when I broke th
HAZEL’S POVTime was running out. The Elder was putting away his knife, drops of his blood fell into a pool that had formed under his hand and his throat bobbed when he mumbled incoherent words. I turned my head and watched Ophelia practically dragging Kiera by her hair at this point- okay not by he
A scream rippled from deep in my core and carried my pain when it felt like everything inside of me was being twisted like a rope. I raised my hand, the taste of metal filled my mouth and the blood was dripping down my chin.My claws extended and Trixy snarled, saliva dripped from the side of her m
Nate backed away, standing in the corner and watching us like it wasn't his fault that men and women were dying and a young girl wouldn't get to go home with her father.He must've felt me watching because he looked up and I sincerely hope that he saw every last ounce of loathing in my eyes. I hope
Ophelia’s rose-scented perfume was burning up my nose and her screeching sounds were making it hard to land a good punch when all I wanted was to cover my damn ears. Gabe and Mr. Light were occupied in their own battle and I tasted the blood that entered my mouth when she clawed at my cheek.I saw
“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
