Drax carries me into the full dining room and sets me down in a chair, warning me with a single look that I better behave or their will be consequences. I sit their silently, everyone's eyes on me. Their was only one other female in the room, her head cast down as mine should be, her eyes wide with fear.
I hated what they did to us, how they treated us like we were possessions and not people with feelings, but I couldn't do anything about it. Not now. I was just as much a prisoner as she was, bound to Drax by his mark. I had no choice either.
I waited silently until Drax took his seat, putting food on both of our plates. This was a test and I knew it, he was going to see if I would obey him, if I kept to my word. I didn't have any kind of appetite, but when he nodded at me I began to eat slowly, not saying a single word.
Drax turns away from me, satisfied that I am doing as I am told. "You may all begin." He said,We walked back to the dining room in silence once it was time for lunch, my heart racing the entire time as the thought of seeing Drax again, I didn't want to like him. I didn't want to be anywhere near him, but something inside of me called for him. Perhaps it was the mate bond, it had a strange way of pulling people together. Even when that was the last thing you wanted.I spotted him already in his seat, watching me as I entered, his eyes lingering on my chest where the dress was cut low. He smiles and motions for me to come to him when his beta let go of my arm, I walked toward him slowly, purposely swinging my hips a little.I needed to get on his good side if I was ever going be allowed to have my wolf back, let alone my powers. I had to play the game of being a good mate, to the best of my ability. I had to make him believe that I wanted to be with him, that I was willing to behave.but I also couldn't
Drax never came back that night, nor was I told that I could leave the confines of the bedroom. I remained as quiet as I could, scared that if I made too much noise that he would come barging in and demand my body. Something that I knew I wouldn't be able to obey. I couldn't allow him to touch me intimately again, it would only confuse my already flustered mind, how could I let him do such a thing to my body? He had marked and mated with me against my will, yet what did I really do to stop him from ruining me? Nothing. I laid there and allowed him to do stuff to me that would disappoint and anger my real mates, how could I do that to them? How could I betray them like that? Woukd they even want me back if they knew the truth, woukd they blame me? I sobbed into my pillow for hours, not knowing what to do or what would happen today. could I be the good girl I needed to be to survive? Could I pretend to be tamed?
Drax escorted me down to the dining room, his mood quickly lifting from the sour one it had started as. The others had already arrived and I noticed that Chloe had more bruises on her face and arms than she had the day before. My heart going out to her. I wish that their was some way I could help her get out of this, but we were both trapped with these monsters with little hope of escape.he took his usual seat and I took mine, my head lowered slightly as I was told it should always be. They had a strange way of looking at women in this pack, and strange views on how things should be. But again their was nothing that I could do about it. I couldn't stop them from treating us like property, because that's how they saw me, I was nothing but a prize to be won and Drax thinks he has won.I saw the guard who escorted me to my room yesterday, he was stood in the doorway, just the same as the day before, his eyes roaming the room but
It didn't take long for everyone to finish breakfast, and Drax was satisfied that I ate as much as I could, even if I didn't finish the entire plate. I rose from my seat after him, waiting until he said I could move."Arron." He called to the guard who spoke to me yesterday, "it's your job to watch her today, if you lose her, you lose your life." He told him.Arron glanced at me nervously, as though I may say something incriminating about what he said. When I said nothing he spoke up, "yes alpha, I will take good care of her for you."Drax turns to me, his eyes suddenly hard. "If you betray the trust I am putting in you today, you will never leave my sight again. Am I clear?"I step forward and run my hands up his chest. "I won't betray your trust, I want you to be able to leave without worrying I will run away."he watches me for a terrifyingly long moment before he nods, "I wil
Chloe and I ended up watching four movies together and by the end, I beloved that we were good friends, she even talked about her family for quite some time. She had three younger siblings and her father was an alpha, she never really wanted a mate so when James found her she tried to reject him. To be honest, I didn't blame her, if I had a mate like James I would reject him too, he was an asshole.I climbed off the sofa, the room suddenly spinning and my stomach churning as I bent forward, trying to keep my breakfast in my stomach.Chloe approached me slowly, worry written all over her face. "Are you ok? You've gone really pale Annalise."im about to reply when my stomach churns again and I throw up all over the carpet before collapsing onto my knees, my head spinning."Jesus! Are you ok?" Arron calls from by the door, shocked at the amount of vomit that came out of me.
I woke up in the middle of the night to a strange noise, it seemed so familiar and yet so new at the same time. But I couldn't remember what it was once I was awake, my mind slow and tired. I sit up on the bed and look around in the dark, no one was there, not even Drax. So what did I hear? Was it just a dream?I shuffle to the edge of the bed and throw my legs off, my heart pounding in my chest, it couldn't have been nothing. I was sure I heard .... something.I looked around again as I climb to my feet, holding onto the bed post until the dizziness passes. I guess that I missed supper as well as lunch, why didn't anyone wake me? What was going on?I walk towards the door slowly, jumping at every shadow, my breath coming in rapid pants. I didn't know why I was so afraid, but something was wrong... I could feel it deep within my bones."I don't like this." Came Nyx's growling voice. "It's t
The drive was long and boring, but it was a relief when we pulled onto Dean's pack lands, and I recognised it instantly. My heart beating rapidly and my palms sweating at the thought of seeing them again, Matthew and I had time to catch up, but I couldn't wait to have all of them by my side. I needed them all. Wanted them all.I couldn't wait to tell them that I was pregnant, Matthew and I had spoke about it in length on the journey and even had a few name ideas depending on the sex. But I wanted to see the others and tell them so bad, I wanted them to know how much I had missed them... how much I loved them.I had hated being away from them more than anything else I had ever experienced, I just wanted to be comfortable in their arms. Comfortable and safe with the men i love.I jumped out of the car as soon as it stopped, rushing into the pax house so fast I barley heard matthews voice t
I slept until the next morning, all the way through with no disturbances, so I woke feeling well rested and ready for the day. Their was only one problem, as soon as I opened my eyes I had to rush to the bathroom, both to pee and to vomit, the baby clearly not liking something I have had.I stumbled back into my bedroom and walked towards the closet, deciding to wear a pair of pink sweatpants and a jumper that matched. As I changed I noticed that I already had a small bump and i stroked it with love, unable to contain my excitement.I was going to be a mum.their was a child growing inside of me, one that belonged to those that I love. I couldn't wait to meet him -I believed it would be a boy- and show him all of the love a mother could ever give to her child.I walked down the stairs with a smile on my face, pleased that I hadn't missed breakfast as I smelled the bacon, I could
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
