BELLAI can't tell when I slept off, but by the time I woke up, I felt different. Light. Strange. My body appeared as if it weren't mine. I had to sit still for a moment before I recalled where I was and why I was at this place instead of my home."Fuck that man,” I growled in a hoarse voice. My throat hurts from all the yelling I did, and I knew I would pay dearly for this tomorrow. Sighing, I closed my eyes and leaned back in the chair, thinking of how to get out of my predicament. I didn't think about the medicine in my system. It seemed the only thing it was good at was just to irritate me when it was injected. That was all. As I sat on the armchair, I didn't let my thoughts drift towards my lovers because I was ashamed. I always prided myself on how wise I was, but in this case, I acted like a fool. A damned freaking one. If only I had…No, it's not time to regret my actions. I had already taken the step, and it didn't work. All I needed at the moment was a means to get out of
BLUEWe almost went mad with worry as we hurried out of the office. We didn't use our powers, knowing it would only delay us, since we would have to wipe their memories before any of them leaked our secrets. Walking seemed like the best alternative at the moment. Chris ran after us as we headed towards the stairs. We knew getting the lift would take some time, so the stairs it was. Chris took the lift while we took the stairs, realizing there was no one around to watch us should we use our powers. “What do you suggest we do?” Fred asked, looking worried as we hurried down the stairs, and towards the exit. “We find Imelda. She's the one who will give us the directions to wherever they kept Bella.” There was no need to think about it. “And how do you propose we do that? Sniff her out?” He frowned, giving me a dark gaze. He knew how difficult it would be for us to locate her. It was a weekday, and there were many scents in the air. Finding her would be like looking for a needle i
BELLAA sharp twinge in my lower abdomen caused me to jolt up from the bed. My lips opened in a gasp as I fell back on the bed, groaning as an intense pain shot right through me. Wincing, I heaved as I stared up at the ceiling, blinking when I noticed where I was. There was no doubt about it. I had stayed in the room for months now, not knowing where I was. “Blue?” I whispered, looking towards the door hoping one of them might be near. “Fred? Are you guys out there?” I called out. There was no response at first, and I thought they might have left to get some things. It wasn't until I called out for the second time that the door opened, and Fred rushed in, followed by Blue. “You are awake,” Blue whispered as he got to my side. “How are you feeling?” He lay his right palm on my forehead, looking worried. “Are you feeling any pain? Any sort of discomfort?”“Just a minor pain in my abdomen. Aside from that, I'm good.” I tried to sit up on the bed once more, only to fall back on it, w
“Your mate?” I squinted at that. “Like age buddy?” I gave them a dubious look. “I know I'm not that familiar with you guys, but there's one thing I'm certain about, and that's how old you are. Last I checked, Blue said you were older than I gave you credit for. How then did we turn to age mates?” I scoffed, folding my arms as I watched them, waiting to hear their response, to know if they would lie their way out of this like they had been doing. “Not that.” Blue rubbed the back of his neck as he got on the bed. He took my hand in his, sighing as he gathered his thoughts. “You are the one made for us. Like our soulmate.”“Soulmate?” I looked towards Fred, who nodded, smiling. “You are the only one we will ever be with until the end of time. The one specially made for us,” he whispered as he held my right hand in his and planted a kiss on the back. “You are ours, Bella.”Ours?I gulped, trying to regulate my breathing. This was something I have always ached to hear, for them to tel
BLUEThe moment the door closed behind us, I turned to my brother, lifting an eyebrow in question. “What do we do now?”“Make lunch for her.” He lifted his shoulders in a shrug. “What else do you have in mind?”“Are we just letting things slide? Do you intend to pretend that everything is okay without doing anything?” I slammed my fist on the wall, growling at him. I knew my eyes must be golden, showing the emotions swirling in them.Fred puffed out a breath, staring at me with a hooded expression, with his head tilted to the side as he observed me. His eyes trailed me from my head to my toes before it returned to my eyes. “Our Bunny just woke up. The least we could do was make lunch for her. We will talk about other things later.”“What if I want to do that now?” I stepped in front of him. “The more time we waste, the farther that bastard goes!” He winced when I slammed my fist on the wall. I didn't show any expression as I strode back. Blood dripped down my wound like rainfall as
When we got to the house, we halted, exchanging looks. The building was similar to the prisons back home. Whoever erected the structure might either be a psycho or missing home. But Kendera didn't fall under any of them. He was just a bitter werewolf, fuelled by his desire to seek revenge for his father's death. Fred took the lead, and I followed close behind him, looking back, as we walked deeper into the house. The hall was dimly lit, but we could still make our way through it as if there were a bulb overhead. We followed the pungent smell of Durian and got to the room. Fred kicked the door open, and I stepped in, my gaze landing on the motionless body on the floor. Instead of hurrying over to the corpse, my eyes took in the squared room, noting how empty and depressing it looked. It was just like the prison rooms. “What's this?” Fred muttered as he lifted a syringe, knitting his eyebrows. I hurried over to him and grabbed the syringe containing the strange red liquid. I raised
BELLA“How did you know they injected me?” I demanded, peering up at them with my eyes squinted. “We…” Blue gulped. “We went to look for Kendera while you were asleep. It was how we found these.” He took two syringes out of his pocket and showed them to me. “We were troubled, so we rushed back home.” “How are you feeling now?” Fred asked, walking over to me with a worried expression still on his face. “What are the effects of the things you mentioned? Anything I should know?” I deliberately ignored Fred's question because that was all they had been asking me since I woke up.“We…” Blue scratched the back of his hair. “We don't know about humans. For werewolves, they can be used as both a stimulant or —”“A stimulant?” I interrupted. “What does that mean?”“It differs,” Fred responded, tucking some strands of hair behind my right ear. “For the strongest werewolves, it makes them lose track of reality and sends them into a realm of cravings. It could be anything. Blood. Sex. Wine.
I blinked at that. “Two heartbeats? What the hell are you talking about? Don't tell me the injected serum caused it?” I sat up as a dark thought gripped my mind. “Am I a monster? Would I turn into a bat and start biting random people like Dracula? Would I have to sleep in a coffin? Oh, my God! I'm not ready to live in a spooky castle!” I yelled, mourning my fate.“Well…” He scratched his hair as his eyes darted from me to the door, almost like he was expecting my mates to kick the don't down. “I don't know about the person you mentioned, or turning into a bat thingy and biting people. Is it a normal thing for humans?” He leaned in to whisper, sounding genuinely curious.I blinked, wondering who among us should be curious. “What's with the double heartbeats, then? Am I sick? If I'm not turning to Dracula any time soon, what's amiss with me?”“I think…” He trailed off, glancing towards the door as if there were something he didn't want to say. “This might all be baseless. I will have t
