My own heart seemed to stop as well, pain burning through me, killing me.
I didn’t hear the scream that tore out of my mouth, but I could see the way they all flinched from the noise. I lunged at Damien’s body, turning him over it. His dull eyes looked up, no emotion in them. His mouth slant.
I felt it. I felt the magic rip out of me as the werewolves around me got flung back, landing yards away from me.
I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. My tears dropped onto his face as I stroked it.
Please. Please. Someone help me. Anyone. Please.
Where are my vampire diaries fans?! I so badly wanted to end it with “hello, brother.” If you know, you know. This is the end of book one. I know, I’m sorry for the small blimp of turmoil at the end but did you really think I would kill Damien? He's my fav (shh dont tell Jax). JK, I love them both for her differently. There’s so much more to Hayley’s journey. I took a few weeks (probably a writer’s block if I want to be REAL honest) and asked if I wanted to split it. Sorry for the long delay, I went back and forth a lot. Especially where or what or how I want to deal with The Vampire King since he's so important to who Hayley is and what she can become. There's so many scenarios I want to play with. >:)
PART TWO: The Vampire King I made a blood oath. A life of a life. I didn't care at the time because I needed him back, but it came at a high price. How am I suppose to lead a pack when I have no wolf? I have no choice but to move on because we are out of time and out of options. The Vampire King must fall. We're back for the continuation of Hayley's story! I was going to separate it, but decided to just keep going on here since part one was so small. I do have a few changes to part two, such as Hayley won't be the only POV (:
JaxI spit the blood in his face and laugh. “No matter how many times you command me, the answer is the same. I. Don’t. Know.” The Alpha growls, his eyes glowing red. “She’s my mate. I have to find her.” I shake my head, shifting my shoulders. They were sore from being chained to the wall by my wrists. “She’s not.” “We need to let him shift so he can heal.” I glare at Elliot behind the Alpha. His face was impassive as always. He was the only one left who didn’t desert the Alpha, even Niko left and that was surprising. A felt an ache in my chest that they had left me and Meghan behind to suffer the consequences of their actions.I know the Alpha didn’t have my sister locked in the dungeon like me, but I’m sure she was stripped of the luxury of the pack house and her job at the daycare. The Alpha growls again. “He can suffer. They figured out how to resist my commands before. He’s doing it now.” My brother thins his lips, but nods.
DamienI close my eyes as Hayley’s screams start up again, the wood of the chair groaning as my knuckles turn white from clenching the arms of it.My brother clicks his tongue across from me in disgust. “I would have thought you had learned your lesson.” He sat calmly, picking at his pants as if he was bored. His long fingers were sharpened at the end, making him look more like the monster he truly is. I glare at him now. “And what lesson is that?”“That a woman makes you weak. Twice now I’ve had to save you because of a woman.”I spare a glance at Sabine, who sits tight lipped next to him. Her face is sober, her gaze stuck to the ground. “You would be nothing without a woman, brother. Don’t forget that.”Shadows dance across my feet and I snarl at them. I remember the chill of them pulling me out of a stilled and quiet darkness. Brennan laughs and pulls them away from me. “A woman didn’t make me who I am.” He trails a clawed finger dow
I felt his warm body pressed against mine, but it did little to ease the coldness that had settled inside me. It was an odd thing to feel alone in your own body, I had gone almost 18 years without Aurora’s presence. Now, I couldn’t remember a day before her. Even when she wasn’t speaking to me, I hadn’t realized I still felt her independent opinions on matters and how they might have influenced mine.Damien shifted so I was pressed more against his chest and his thigh pushed closer in between my legs. “I know you’re awake.” He spoke softly.I tilted my head to blink up at him. It was still shocking to see green eyes staring back at me. Raising the hand I had resting on his chest, I traced his jaw. The morning light was filtering through the window
The eggs in my mouth quickly taste like ash the minute he comes strutting through the doorway. “Ah! the little wolf is finally awake.” He sounds gitty. My stomach sours at his words and I growl. “Call me that again, watch what happens.” He grins. “Hard to listen to your bark when I know you don’t have a bite.” Brennan cackles and the fork in my hand bends from the strength of my grip. Damien stands from the table and puts himself between us. “Is there something you need, brother?” Brennan raises an eyebrow. “I can move freely in my house without a desired location or plan in mind.”
Aeron “Well, how was he?” Andrus asks as soon as Isaiah walks into the cabin. “He’s…” Isaiah glances at me, “alive.” I make a disgusted scoff and he rolls his eyes, making his way to where Iris, Andrus’ wife, is making food. “So he’s not doing well, but you don’t want me to catch you in a lie.” Isaiah sighs. “They’re beating him, not torture, but I still had to heal him. But–” he pauses with a grimace. Andrus is pacing throughout the room and he growls when Isaiah doesn’t continue. “Out with it. We risked a lot to visit him. Someone could have followed you back,” He glances out the window a
AERON Snapping my fingers for their attention, Andrus and Iris finally break apart. “Finally. You didn’t swallow her tongue this much when we were parting for the Hunt.” Iris giggles while Andrus growls in warning at me, pulling her tighter against his chest. “I knew I was going to find her immediately after.” I laugh. “Yes, because that plan went so well. We barely fought our way off pack land. This is so no different, say your final goodbyes. You are the one who suggested tonight.” He goes to growl at me again and Iris puts a hand on his chest, caressing him softly. “We will be fine. You’ll find us quickly, I’m sure of it.” Isaiah shakes his head, watching us all. I could see the smile on his lips though. Iris and Andrus were a perfect example of fated mates, so sickeningly in love with each other. “We will be fine. Bring Jax back to us, He’s going to need more healing than I can provide.” I grimace at that statement, ignoring the irritation that I didn
