“Lost?” A voice popped up behind me, I didn’t turn to look at Aeron, recognizing it from last night.
I shook my head. “Just heading to my room”
He picked up his steps so he was beside me. “I could bring you to Jax,” Aeron offered instead.
I shook my head again. “I just want to go to my room. Really I’m fine you don’t have to walk with me” I tried to increase my pace, not really trusting his sudden presence.
He grabbed my arm, pulling me to a stop. And I yanked it back from him, glaring. Aeron put his hands up defensively. “You wouldn’t look at me, but I need your attention.”
“For what?” I asked cautiously.
Aeron walked around me slowly, lo

“You’re a fool.” Sabine hissed at the Alpha. His eyes turned a terrifying red and I flinched into Jax, who gripped my hip steadying me. I instinctively reached out to her with my shield, the murderous face of the Alpha had me scared of what he was going to do. She turned to me as if she could feel my magic and furrowed her brow. The Alpha followed her gaze and I matched his, turning my chin up. I felt Jax grip my hips harder, his fingers almost digging into my skin. I clenched my teeth, refusing to look away. Look away Aurora warned me, her worried tone shocking me. I broke the stare and instead glanced back at Sabine, who seemed to exhale as if she was holding her breath. “Well it seems I really did come
“It almost seems wrong for him to have a name,” Jax grimaced. “Your brother has a name, but he is only referred to as the Alpha” Sabine pointed out, “Brennan was Fae before he was the Vampire King.” Jax jerked at the word and then shuddered. “Fae?” I asked, surprised by his response. Sabine looked at Jax’s sorrowfully. “Beings that possess magical abilities. Majority of what they would now call witches, wizards, sorocess have Fae in their blood.” “You are Fae then?” I brushed Jax’s cheeks in hopes to relieve some of his tension. “Yes. A very lesser Fae bloodline murked with mortals.” She turned to Jax now. “What
“I should be able to go to training.” I crossed my arms, staring as Jax changed from the dinner attire we fell asleep in.He sighed, pulling a sleeveless white shirt over his head. If I wasn’t so annoyed, I would have enjoyed the view more. “I told you I would ask and I will.”“I’m going to visit Sabine then”He hesitated, watching me if I was serious about visiting her and sighed again. “Alright, I’ll have someone take you.”“Not Aeron.” I stated, letting my arms drop to my sides, clutching the dress from last night.
“So Brennan. It seems so… human compared to the Vampire King.” I started. A slight shudder ran through me, not sure about talking about him out in the open as he’s a boogeyman waiting to pop out. Or being in close proximity to Damien. I didn’t realize how much I had missed his presence.Damien snorted, but looked away from me. “Brennan was never human. What Cressida said about turning him into the monster, truer words have never been spoken. He always has been bloodthirsty for power, cruel and selfish, only cared what others could do for him.”“Sabine made it sound like they were in a relationship.” I grimaced, kicking at leaves at my feet watching them crinkle into bits.“I don't know what they were, but I think if he had feelings
“Shit” I breathed out as my back slammed into the ground again. I pushed up as I stared up at Andrus, who had an unimpressed look on his face.He held out his hand and I pushed it away as I got up and faced Jax again with a scowl. “ Tripping me, making me fall is getting old.”Jax smiled and shrugged. “Do something about it then.”I glared. At first I was shocked that Jax agreed to come help me train but I quickly found out why. He wanted Andrus to show me how to get out of the situation instead of defending myself. It’s been a few days and we’ve only done some hand to hand techniques, mostly me twisting and turning to get out of holds and stuff.
“How long have you been out here?” Damien’s voice startled me. “Where’s the coin?”“I didn’t have time to grab it.”I explained, turning to face him. He was glancing around us before he stepped closer, grabbing my elbow and leading us in the opposite direction I was headed.“I’m not the only thing out here. You shouldn’t be wandering alone.” He seemed irritated.I sighed as we marched through the forest. I honestly don’t know how long I was walking for, or what direction the packhouse was. “I commanded someone again.” My voice barely audible above the wind, but I know he heard me.“Who?”“Jax.”
I quickly wipe my face to clear it from my eyes, pulling my hand back to see it coated in red. I turn toward the men on the ground as a sinking feeling clenches in my stomach.Derek’s body jerks and is thrown onto the ground closer to my feet. I stare into his empty eyes, as his throat is shredded beyond belief and an hole torn in his chest has red flowing and soaking the forest floor.A small shriek starts to come out of me before a hand clamped itself over my mouth. I look up at Damien’s face, his eyes so black I couldn't see any white and red veins spread across his eye sockets. This wasn’t a face I recognized and a sense of panic tears through me as I struggle to get away.“Stop.” Damien commands, but his voice rough. I could feel a hot tear slipping and running do
The Alpha threw Derek’s severed head onto the ground with a growl. Multiple shrieks went out as it rolled.Jax gripped onto my arms tighter and I flinched at the pain of it. I could see Aeron take a step closer to us as I glanced up at him with a confused look. He was glaring at where Jax was holding me.“Jax, stop.” I whisper. Jax looks down at me and let's go in shock and kisses the top of my head. I look back at Aeron and squint my eyes in annoyance as he flashes me a smirk and turns to walk closer to the Alpha. The Alpha steps forward closer to the crowd that has gathered at the front of the packhouse.“Someone has declared war.” He shouts. “An attack on a Guest is an attack on us.”Aeron scoffed and the Alpha snapped his att
