I woke with a sharp pain in my head, my eyes heavy and somehow sore, the last thing I remember the strange man who entered the kitchen. I finally peel my eyes open after several attempts, frightened to find that I was chained up; my arms hanging above my head.
I looked around in panic, realising that I was in a damp cell, not much light pouring in from the small window in the metal door. I gasped when I tried to pull on the chains, the wolfbane that had been added to them burning my skin.
I cried out in pain, fresh tears falling from my eyes as I look around, searching for anything that would be able to help me. Panic had crept into my thoughts as I was unable to contact Nyx for help, she was completely silent, it was like she wasn't their at all. How much wolfsbane had they used on me? What did they want?
was it Balthazar who had found me? Did he send that masked man? I had so many questions and no one to answer
I sobbed into my shoulder, not know the first thing about what I should do, or how I was going to get out of this. Without Nyx or my power I was completely helpless, unable to protect myself or my mates from this unknown man, all I know is thaf he commands rogues and knows about Balthazar, which isn't much to go on at all.I didn't know who he was or why he wanted me apart from that he feels the mate bond, but I didn't care about it. I didn't want anything to do with him, after all; if he was my mate, he'd love and protect me. Right? He wouldn't lock me away in a dark dungeon and suppress my wolf with wolfsbane.hours pass as I knell their, completely defeated and alone, afraid of what will happen when he returns. How could I ever agree to him marking me? I didn't want my mates to die, but I had a horrible feeling that if he marks me, I will never see them again.I will never be happy again.
The alpha didn't keep me waiting for long, soon enough he was barging into the cell with another tray in his hands, growling as though I had committed some great crime against him and his people by not eating. But I didn't care, he could be mad all he wants, I wasn't just going to roll over and let him treat me like this.I had promised myself when I escaped Balthazar that I would never become a prisoner again, that I would rather die free than have a life of captivity. That was still true, I didn't want to live like this, and I would rather die slowly and painfully than endure a life like this."do you think starving yourself is brave?" He shouts, slamming the door behind him. "Why are you hoping to achieve by disobeying me hmm? Because I promise you it won't be what you expect.""Kill me." I say softly, my throat scratchy and dry. "Because I will never obey you or anyone else, not again.""yo
I sob into Drax's shoulder as he walks up the basement stairs and to the main house, my mind swirling with fear and worry. Is he really going to mark me against my will? I try my best to struggle in his grasp, though I am too weak from the wolfsbane and unable to get a decent shot against him from this angle.he takes us into a relatively large kitchen and places me onto one of the counter tops before retrieving a first aid kit, my eyes going wide. I needed to think of something and fast, I couldn't allow this to happen, I couldn't be most mate.Drax takes out some antiseptic wipes and begins cleaning the open wounds on my wrists as I whimper, attempting to come up with a plan."Please... You don't have to do this, let me go home, I won't tell anyone what has happened." I beg, hoping he would see reason.He stops what he is going as looks into my eyes, his jaw ticking with anger. "Whe
I wake the next morning with a throbbing pain between my legs and on my neck, Drax asleep next to me in the bed, I didn't remember falling asleep, all I know is that it was after he violated me. I felt like crying my eyes out and screaming as loud as I could, my mind confused and afraid.I didn't want what he did to me, and yet; my body had reacted to its mate, craving what he did. It just wasn't right, how could he do this to me? And why did I feel attached to him now? I wanted to kill him for what he had done, yet a deep part of me would miss him.I was stupid to think he wouldn't hurt me, he was the leader of bloodthirsty rogues, what else could I expect? I was some sort of trophy to him, something he wanted to own and win. Nothing else.I know that it's the mate bond making my feeling all messed up, and I hate it. I wish that I didn't feel any of it, I wish that I was back with my true mates. Helping and
Drax grabbed my wrist and lead me out of the safety of the bedroom, moving quickly as he dragged me down the stairs. The rogue alphas pack house wasn't as big as the one I was used to, only spread out across three floors, but it was still big enough to get lost, something that I didn't want. I couldn't afford to draw attention to myself, these men were rogues, they didn't listen to the laws set out for all wolves.They didnt care about being nice or caring, each of them were monsters, killing packs where ever they went. Even the children who couldn't defend themselves. I hated them all and wished their was something I could do to destroy them myself. They didn't deserve to live, not after all they had done.I knew that if I tried to run I would be caught and sent back down to that dungeon, and it wouldn't be good for me or Drax. He didn't want me to embarrass him in front of his pack of rogues, and I didn't blame him. I suppose that any sign of weakness t
I sat there alone in the dining room for hours, the breakfast still in front of me, untouched. I just couldn't bring myself to eat any more, it wasn't like I was trying to disobey Aloha Drax, I just knew that if I ate more I would be sick.The guards that he had told to stay and watch me glanced in my direction every so often, shaking their heads in annoyance at my defiance. But I didn't care what they thought, I wasn't going to be a good little prisoner to their master. I had done that once before when I was a warlocks slave. Not again.yes, their were going to consequences for not doing as he commanded, but I knew that before he left I would face them either way. He wasn't going to allow me to go unpunished when I defied him in front of everyone, he would be classified as weak and unfit for command.I pushed the food around the plate as I pondered my options for when he returned, would I bow down and
My hearing was assaulted by a strange beeping noise, one that was constant and unrelenting. I groaned, unable to move my body as every muscle screamed at me to stay still, to ignore my need to get up and go. I peeled my eyes open to see a white room, wires attatched to my arms and chest.where am I ? I wondered as I looked around, noticing nothing that I would recognise."we are in some sort of hospital." Came Nyx's grouchy voice, her growls snapping me out of whatever fog I had been trapped in."Oh thank the goddess, Nyx you are here!" I cried, actual tears slipping from my eyes. "I've been so lost without you.""I was suppressed but I knew you were there, I've been trying to contact you." She whisper, as though someone might over hear us."I've been trying to reach you too, but I couldn't. They injected us with silver and wolfsbane.""we need to
I wake up to the same beeping, knowing that I was in the hospital, I tried right away to contact Nyx but she was gone, unable to contact to me. That only meant one thing, they had injected me with wolfsbane and silver again, riding me of both my power and my wolf.I open my eyes slowly, blinking several times against the light, the world slowly coming into focus. Drax was sat at the side of the hospital bed, watching me closely. I tried to move, realising that my arms were chained to the bed, my panic instantly rising.what was going on? Why did Drax seem so calm?"unchain me." I whisper, turning my head to look at him, my own voice betraying me as I growl."Not until I'm sure you will behave yourself, you have caused quite the stir among my pack, she-wolves are thinking they can fight back against their mates." He shakes his head, acting as though it was the worst thing that could have happe
Flashback;The guard to my left knocked, but the one to my right spoke, his tone raspy and stern. “Sire, thirteen is here to see you.”That’s me, thirteen. The guards didn’t know our names, we were numbers, creatures that they needn’t worry themselves with. The guards were human, all of them. But one of masters spells surrounded them, and no wolf within these lands could question that, no one could hurt them.I heard a cup slam against a wooden table, forcing myself not to wince when I heard the anger in Balthazar’s voice. “Send her in.” He ordered.Oh fuck. I had done something to piss him off, but what? For three whole weeks I had kept my head down, not spoken to anyone but Margaret and I had done everything asked of me. I searched my mind, looking for a mistake so I could prepare myself, though nothing came to mind. I took a shallow breath, and walked into to the room when the guard opened t
I stood on the balcony window of our home, watching as my nine children play and have fun together, the twins watching over the younger ones and making sure that they are ok and safe. Several years later; I had the twins before I reallly knew who I was and what I was going to do with my life. but now I had a good idea of what my life should be and those I will be spending it with. it took a long time to realise what I did was the right thing, I felt a lot of guilt after killing the warlock , but I know that it was the best way to move forward and it had to be done. At the time their was no other choice because he wasn't willing to compromise, he wanted my loved ones dead and me as a slave, their was no changing his mind. No matter if we had tired or not. killing him was the only option, and I'm glad most days that I went through with it, it changed everything and made life better for a lot of wolves. Each one eventually coming to the pack and joining our growing family. Our pack
The journey home was fast, but wished it was quicker, I couldn't wait to hold my children in my arms and tell them how much I loved them. I could now give them the life that I wanted to, they would grow up and be happy ajd content with all they have. for once, I was excited to see what the future may hold for me, and o coukdnt wait to see what would happen in my life next. Of course more children will be a must, but other than that I had no idea. I still had so much to learn and do. but now I had the freedom to do it all I didn't know where to start. The wolves that had come into battle with me and my mates bellowed and shouted about how strong I was and how blessed I must be to be able to defeat a warlock such as Balthazar. I had to agree with them, the moon goddess had definitely blessed me, with mates and strength. I was the luckiest girl alive to have what I do, and even with everything that has happened to me in my life I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't change it because
I screamed out and rushed forward with all the strength that I had, plummeting myself into enemy lines and away from my people. I had to get to Balthazar and end this once and for all.I staked three more vampires before I got to where he was stood, waiting for me in silent awe, he was impressed seeing my powers. But that was only because he wanted them for himself. He wanted nothing more than to use me for his own gain.but not anymore, I was free."You've come a long way, Annalise." He says slowly, a smile breaking across his face."and you are the same asshole you have always been." I growl, Nyx closer to the surface than she has ever been before.she was ready to fight, and was I.Balthazar laughed bitterly, though I could tell he was nervous. He never expected me to get this far. "You can end this now, surrender and all the others c
It took a while to get to Balthazar's land, and what we didn't expect were the amount of wolves present that were chained to wooden poles outside his mansion. Dean included.I wanted nothing more than to run up and free them all, but their were warlocks and vampires blocking my path. Each one of them ready for a fight.the wolves around me screamed and howled their battle cries and set off running into the enemy, biting and scratching. Those that remained in human form and only partially transformed held wooden stakes and spears to take down the vampires.I screamed my own battle cry and pulled away from my mates, jumping into the grey of battle and using my powers against those who dared to attack me.The metallic smells of blood filled my nose as I took down a vampire, staking him through the chest, howls and screams filling the air as the battle waged. The fading screams of the
I look around at all of the wolves present, some already transformed and ready to go. I know now that we have a chance to do this, that we can if we work as a team.I howl at the top of my lungs and then face everyone present once more, gaining all of their attentions at once."we have a real chance to change the world today..." I shout, Matthew coming to my side whilst my other mates continued to prepare weapons. "We are doing this for our future and for the future of all the children and babies of our kind." Growls and shouts break out, all of them agreeing. "Together we will fight through the vampires and kill every warlock in sight!"They begin to chant my name, but what they don't realise is that today I am not myself, today I am the decendent of the moon godddess herself, today I am the Red wolf and we are the ones that will change the world.every man and woman present will fight a
All the warriors and the alphas were stood just outside the pack house, Waiting for me to arrive and give the order, we had been preparing and training for two weeks and I just hoped that it would be enough to take out the warlock.we couldn't wait any longer, it was now or never and every moment we wasted here was another moment that Dean would be close to death. I couldn't lose any of my mates, I just couldn't. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to them.I wanted nothing more than for us all to be safe and happy, but for that to happen Balthazar needed to die, he would never let my kind go, he would never free our people.we had to take matters into our own hands, I just prayed that when the time came I would know exactly what to do and how to defeat him.But then again I couldn't hold out much hope of that, I mean, he could just as easily kill or render me useless. He has
I woke up slowly, my head throbbing slightly and the light too bright for my eyes. But that's when I heard it, the cries of my children from somewhere in the room. I opened my eyes and tried to sit up, my eyes scanning the room, searching for them.alexander had one of the twins and Drax had the other, gently shushing them as they cried. Both children had my red hair, their eyes a bright green; and they were beautiful."my babies." I sobbed, catching the attention of my mates."Would you like to hold him?" Alexander asked, walking towards me with my son in his arms."yes." I cried, unable to hold my tears of joy.Drax walked forward as I took my son from alex, showing me my little girl. It was perfect. I couldn't believe my eyes. My two beautiful and perfect children were right here."you did well love, they are healthy and strong." Al
I slept quite a lot the next few days while my mates sorted out the finer details for the attack, but I wasn't sure of everything. It all seemed rushed, but I guess we had no choice about that. We could either attack within the next few days or risk being attacked and killed or captured. Something I knew that we couldn't risk.I had my c-section today, and we would finally meet the twins, but something was missing, or should I say someone. I just wish that Dean didn't get captured when he did, I needed him by my side. He was my mate and his presence brought me comfort.I rolled out of bed and showered, it took longer than normal, but I needed to feel clean. It was strange being pregnant, you never quite feel like yourself, and when the babies kick it feels a little surreal.I know a woman's body is meant for this, but it's still so strange, I'm growing people inside of me, two healthy little babies are develo
