Running. I'm running through the woods, giggling and laughing, I'm a small child again. I suddenly heard the warriors of the pack howl. Knowing this call I started to run back to the pack house. Trying to make sure I'm not seen. I hide behind a bush as I hear wolves fighting. I peek out from behind the bush, most of the wolves were red covered in blood. I see my father beta. He was surrounded by three wolves. They all pounced on him, tearing him apart. I gasp, tears running down my face."Mommy, where are you?" I tried to mind link her.I took off running again so those wolves wouldn't see me. I suddenly hear a blood curdling scream."Mommy" I yelled as I ran towards the scream, as I approached this man had my father in his grip."Please Riftan it doesn't have to go like this, please spare my wife please" my father pleaded with the man, but it was no use the man roared and tore my father's head clean off his body.I scream and run towards my mother, afraid not knowing any better. The
Rosaline's POV"Rosaline Campton, your mother called you Rose" Xaviers says to meI stagger backwards, wide-eyed. Has he known this entire time? Is he just using me? "How do you know my Nickname?" I growled, taking a step at him "How do you know who I am?"Xavier puts his hand up, "Hold on little one. We had a feeling it was you. You have the same eyes as your mom Rebecca, and the same color hair has your dad Jaxon"I growl more hearing my parent's names. "Don't talk like you know them." I snapped at him, tears starting to roll down my face."Rosaline, do you really not remember anything before your family was killed?" he asks, looking at me with the saddest eyes.I shake my head in response. "No, I don't." I say, not realizing the tears rolling down my face. Then the door to the room opened. I avert my eyes to the door growling.In walks two people, they look oddly familiar to me, but I don't know why they do. A tall male, who Xavier resembled quite a bit. A woman, who was about my h
Rosaline's POVEveryone left. Leaving me alone with Xavier. I remember now, I remember everything, Xavier the boy I had adored and loved as a child, even though of the 8-year difference, however as werewolves it doesn't matter. Our parents always hoped we would be mates, due to the attraction we had towards each other, even though it was completely pure childhood friendship."X-Xavier." I say looking up at him. He had already been looking at me.Xavier didn't say anything, he picked me up, my legs wrapping around him. He hugs me tightly. "I thought it was you, when I first saw you" he says burying his face into my neck, breathing in my scent. "But I wasn't sure, your name threw me off." he looks at meI blush hard, "I'm sorry I didn't remember you. Xavier, I can't believe I forgot who you were." I said to him,"Little one, your memory wasn't your fault, so no need to say sorry." he says to me, I noticed that he was staring at my lips. Screw it, I'm going to take my chance.I leaned in
Xavier's POVMy eyes fluttered open as the sun shined into the room. It's early, looking over at the clock, 7:30am. Too early. I look down, there she is, my mate, cuddled into my side, her hand resting on my chest. She's still peacefully asleep, her breath warm against my side.It's quite cold here today. "Winter is almost here." I say softly as I move her hair out of her face, showing where I marked her last night.Images of last night flood my mind, causing my cheeks to flush. The way she moaned my name, the way our bodies fit each other perfectly. She was perfect in every way. It seems I broke the wall she had up. Though I know it will be very easy for her to put that wall back up, if we betray her trust.I slowly take her arm off of me, trying to not wake her. Which I succeed in doing, and slowly get out of the bed. "Time to get dressed." I say to myself as I walk over to my dresser.If she woke up right now, she'd have a show, I couldn't help but grin at the thought. I open my dr
Rosaline's POV:Xavier and I are walking down the hallway standing side by side, talking to each other. No, sadly we are not holding hands, we still must keep things a secret until tonight."You should wear something red or black tonight." he says smiling at me."Why red or black?" I ask him, raising an eyebrow."Because I think it looks good on you." He says his cheeks turned a light pink.Oh, look at him being flustered now. All big and bad, more like a softy. I thought to myself, my wolf laughing."Oh, really now?" I giggle."Yeah." he smiles at me, I see his eyes dart up really quick, glaring, at something. I go to turn my head to follow his gaze."Get whatever you want today, okay?" he says looking back down at me, as if nothing even happened."But I don't want to spend too much." I say softly."Little one, please get whatever you'd like" he places his hand on my shoulder, causing the electric feeling, go down my arm. "Just prepare yourself though. Mom can go a little crazy when
"Come now darling, let's get you ready." Alice says, as she walks by me, going the opposite way that Xavier went. Quickly, I followed her, catching up to her."Where's Uncle John been all day?" I ask her, as we are walking down the hallway, passing the kitchen. All the maids rushing around."He's been getting everything ready tonight for Xavier. Since the whole thing with Riftan, Xavier has been on edge, so John told him that he'd get everything set up for tonight.""He doesn't seem to be on edge." I say, a little surprised by what she said."That's because he won't show it in front of you, he's always been that way with you since you two were young. He doesn't want you to worry about him." she says looking at me"Well, he's going to have to learn to live with me always being worried about him." I sigh"Are you worried about tonight at all?" Alice asks me as we approach a door."A little bit, I don't know how I'm going to react to seeing Riftan and his awful children." I say softly. A
It's cold, really cold. Where am I? How long have I been here? Slowly I try to open my eyes, but they're so heavy. They must have hit me with a lethal dose of wolfsbane. I move my arm slightly, chains hitting the floor. I'm chained once again. I was trapped, Scarlett made me mad on purpose, to get me to run away so I wouldn't kill her. I fell right into her trap. just like when we were kids. Always hurting me, because I constantly took up Xavier's time, or that I was always around him. She's the same age as him.Finally, I open my eyes, all the way. The wolfsbane is starting to fade. I look around the room, I'm in a dungeon. I scan the walls, most packs have their crests on the walls, I found it, however it's faded.... It's a crescent moon...This is just wrong, on so many counts, I struggled against the chains, they were made of silver, whoever did this, chained me by my neck and wrists. They brought me back to my family's land, which is now Xaviers. This has to be a sick joke. I try
Xavier's POV:Growling in pain, as I feel as if I'm being stabbed repeatedly in the heart. Each time she's touched by them, the pain worsens. Jarett and Kayleigh are holding me down in the back of the SUV."I'm going to fucking kill someone" Arlo growls as he steps on the gas. James in the front seat holding on for dear life, he's white as a damn ghost, as the car goes faster."Yeah, us if you don't slow the fuck down" he growls back at Arlo.Suddenly the pain subsided. I'm sweating, I throw my head back and sigh. "It's finally over, fucking hell." My body is shaking."Language" Arlo snickers from the driver's seat."Arlo don't make me 'fucking' kill you" I say closing my eyes, emphasizing the word."Like to see you try Alpha" I swear if this asshat wasn't one of my best friends, he would be dead."Think we should head to..." James started out saying as Kayleigh started growling loudly looking out the window, opening the door and Judo rolled out of the car, shifting into her wolf. "Th
Xavier's POVThe true Alpha King, the stories that have been told about me, some are true some are not. It's who I am. It's who I chose to be for my pack, a fearless and ruthless leader, that everyone still loves. I'm the youngest king there ever was across the werewolf world, most humans don't know about our kind unless we're mated to one. Most wolves are afraid of me especially if they never met me. I'm usually as nice as i can be, however I'm not a person to double cross, the fact i letMicheal and Riftan getting away with what they have done so far makes me pissed off.I felt Rose squeeze my hand, causing me to look down at her. "Yes, little one.""Let me be there please. Let me see the man who caused me to have so much trauma and fear get what he deserves" she said softly, her eyes giving away what she's feeling she may not show much emotion but her eyes tell me everything."Little one, I don't know, I really don't want you to see the true me. The Alpha king, what I had turned in
Why? Why is everyone blaming themselves when everything is my fault. It's as if everyone is taking the blame as if I was a child who had messed up countless times over and over again. It's not fair, there is no need for them to try and spare my feelings when I already know the truth. All of this is my fault, I'm the reason Michesl is angry. I'm the reason why his title was taken away. Getting lost in thought I realized that i never made it to Xavier's office, I ended up in the garden.I looked around the garden. It's always been beautiful, the cherry blossom trees, the flowers, the topiaries the giant fountain in the middle, the gazebo.... Micheal. Micheal... Xavier's older brother, the man I used to call Mikey... The boy who was obsessed with me when we were kids, however I never batted an eye at him.I shake my head, trying to get the thought of Micheal out of my head and I walk over the gazebo, which was painted white, inside it was a gray bench with two little pillows."Xavier is g
It's morning, it's only been a couple of days since I was captured by Xavier's damn brother Michael. He wanted me dead, since I'm the reason why he no longer had a title in the family after what I had caught him doing when we were kids. Thank goddess I did because that vile man would have run this place into the ground. He watched me get kidnapped, watched my parents be brutally murdered in front of me, when I couldn't remember anything, he would come and touch me at the Red Mark Pack.Poor Xavier is so on edge now, I'm just glad we made up last night. I finally opened my eyes, the sun pouring into the room from the windows, causing me to squint a little bit. Xavier held me all night, not letting go once. His face so close to mine, his long lashes leaving the faintest of shadows on his cheeks. His black hair, thick and needing a haircut, it's getting long. He's pale, he wasn't taking care of himself while I was gone."Little one staring at somebody while they're asleep is weird." Xavi
Xavier's POV:I turned myself away from Rose while she was getting dressed. I felt as if I watched, she would get uncomfortable, I also kind of couldn't stand to see her right now. I'm not mad at her in any shape or form, it's just that my brother touched her, just to get back at me and her. She's mine, yet another man touched her."Okay I'm ready." she says softly, I look at her, tears running down her face. I feel horrible. She then stands up, she's wobbly, I put my hand on her back steadying her."Can you walk?" I say to her, removing my hand from her back."Yes." her voice quiet, the tears still running down her face, as she looks down still. "Thank you." She walks away from me towards the door. Arlo walks past her, he's angry, he comes up to me, hitting me upside the head."Ow, what the hell Arlo." I growl at him"What the hell is your problem, can't you see what you're doing to her." Arlo growls in my ear."Can we just go please." Rose says softly to James, walking out the door.
