So where were we? Ah yes, what a lucky girl I am. Did I remember to mention that he literally came in with so much force that he knocked the door of its hinges? Well he did. That seemed to snap reality into Ryan. He shot up from his seat on the sofa and quickly did a bow thing. And I just stayed rooted in place. "Uh Alpha, what are you-I mean what can I help- uh ... Alpha." Ryan gave up trying to form a coherent sentence and just bowed his head in silence. He looked nervous, not necessarily because he had done something bad, because we actually weren't doing anything. But because of the look that was coming from the Alpha that was trained solely on him I looked over at Damon and his eyes were glowing an unusual bright blue and he looked angrier than usual, and that's saying a lot. His eyes were alight and looked animalistic and wild which led meto believe that his wolf was surfacing. This is not going to end well. What was he doing here? And why did he barge in like that? I
I groaned and turned around. I turned towards a bright source of light which caused me to wake up.I opened my eyes and shut them again due to the light.Gradually my eyes got used to the light and I opened them.Naturally I was confused when I got up but then I looked around for a minute and I realized I still had no idea where I was."What the hell are you doing on my bed?" That came from a voice beside me which caused me shoot up from the bed I was lying on.I turned to look at him.He had sat up leaning against the head board which caused the duvet to fall and bunch around his waist.He was rubbing his temples slightly.Then he looked at me.His eyes were back to normal now, just a cold icy blue.I was just standing there staring at him like some deer caught in headlights. He brought me here, didn't he?"Please, get out of my room." he said and shut his eyes again as he applied more pressure to his temples using his palms.He said please but it still came out quite rudelyIjust tu
I followed Latifah out of the kitchen and she led me upstairs to the room I was in before and unlocked it.Then she led me inside.The room had been completely renovated after I ..., you know, wrecked it, and it looks ten times as nice as it did before.The bed was now a king size, there was a beige carpet all over the room, there was a huge white wooden closet with golden rims.And there was a mini version of Damon's chandelier hanging from the ceiling.There was a huge plasma screen facing the bed hanging on the wall.There were new blue curtains and a light pink bedside table and two blue bean bags in front if the TV.All in all this room was awesome."I actually prepared this room for you because I wasn't sure if you were going to stay here or in his room so ... " Latifah trailed off.Prepared a room?For me? For what?"Latifah, honestly thank you for your troubles but I don't plan on staying here." As soon as I said this Latifah's face dropped."What do you mean you're not stayin
I wrapped my hair in a towel as soon as I stepped out of the shower.I had had a long relaxing bath and I even washed my hair which felt amazing.The bathroom was incredible.White shiny tiled walls, a solid white large marble bathtub, a huge shower with frosted glass sliding doors. The bathroom was spacious and elegant.I had used this place for the first time yesterday after Damon, openly, told me to go and bath.Maybe it was his subtle or nice way of saying I stink?Pfft, nice. Yeah right.Anyway, after he went upstairs I got chatting with Latifah and I found out that Anastasia is actually Damon's cousin. His mom's sister died while giving birth to her. The nanny that had been hired to help Anastasia's pregnant mother offered to takecare of her till her family came for her.She stayed there in England till she was two years old and then Latifah went to bring her home. The nanny had grown very fond of her so she did go to visit her often. She just came back from a three month holida
I was standing in a huge, like a really huge hall that at first glance seemed perfectly vacant.It is when you decide to actually take a breather and look further around that you notice a long table with about twenty men sitting around it at the far end of the hall.All now conveniently staring at me.Of course, who wouldn't stare at the girl who probably just barged into a meeting room trying to hide so that no one would catch her but ended being seen by everyone and making a fool out of herself.I could see Marcus among the men sitting there.And at the head of the table was Damon, obviously, who was sitting there watching me with slightly wide and shocked eyes. I was now begining to understand the pull that led me here. Damon was here.This is your fault, you did this.We did this honey, we. You want him too you know.I literally couldn't move, I wanted to flee the scene but I couldn't move. In that moment I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.But I had no such luck.So we
I was currently sitting on the sofa in Mavis' room.Mavis had offered for me to sit on her bed but I really didn't want to, considering what I witnessed two days ago on that same bed.There was nothing really wrong with it, but at the moment it just felt weird sitting on the bed with that image still fresh in my mind.But I haven't told her that I saw anything, now that would just make things even more awkward.Yes, it had been two days since that incident, two days since I last left the house and oddly enough, two days since I last saw Damon.Today I decided to come see Mavis again and hoped that she would be less 'busy'.Luckily, when I knocked and entered this time, she was lying on her bed watching Tv.She said James left last night to attend to some issues.So here we were.In her, I mean their, room. Its a pretty cool room actually, and its quite large.I'm guessing it's due to the fact thatJames is third in command, that is the Gamma. But I'm sure they'll eventually move out a
What?Heat?Do males go through that?I had heard things about heat but I wasn't exactly sure what it does.But is it supposed to be painful?"Heat? Lunar Rapen? Wh-what, how- uh why is it-how do we-" My ramble was cut off by another heart wrenching scream.What the hell?Is he being tortured? He sounds like he's being tortured.My heart actually ached at the sound."What does it do to him? How can we stop it?" I was getting anxious now.Latifah shook her head silently."There's nothing we can do but wait."That was all she told me but from the way she pressed her lips together I could see she was holding something back.I was about to ask her what it was but another shout distracted me.Latifah shut her eyes at the sound and shook her head slowly in sadness."Please we have to do something, how long is this going to last?" I asked Latifah trying to walk towards the stairs. But she stretched her hand out in front of me, stopping me."About three days.""What? Three days? We're just go
It's actually really sad when you think you're about to die and you realize that there's no one in the world that would actually miss you.I mean, Mavis would cry a bit, but she'll get over it and so would Rose.But then what?Hate to admit it but my life's actually sad.My real parents are supposedly dead, my other parents whom I have known all my life kicked me out, I do not have any other known family member. I am literally alone.Oh and I have a mate who wants to kill me.You know what, I think I should welcome death.Maybe it would be a relief from all this hassle.I had nothing to loose. Absolutely nothing.I think I would have been ready for death if he did in fact come here to kill me.What I was not ready for, and I don't think I would have ever been at that moment was what he did instead.At inhuman speed, which was literally so fast that my eyes couldn't catch it until it had already happened, he was in front of me.He grabbed the back of my head and then he leaned in.It w
And just as I felt the pull increase, it stopped suddenly. Slowly I looked up to see wide blue eyes staring at me in shock. As quickly as it happened he pulled his hand out, thankfully spine-free. This however still led me to collapse on the ground. I was going to heal, yes, that is, if they gave me time to, but for now, I still couldn't feel my limbs properly. I felt a crack that made my body snap, my spine was realigning itself but it was excruciatingly painful and slow. All I could do was lie and watch Damon. Damon who for some reason was still just standing and staring at me. Sarah though, had apparently had enough. "I said for you to take her spine out!" I could see the blackness in his eyes trying to to return, and with all he had he fought against it. So much so that when his eyes started changing colour again I had a sickening feeling it was blood. And I was right.With a grunt he fell back to the ground, blood oozing out of his ears, eyes and mouth. He was spasming on
I had heard the words.Loud and clear.Yet they rang in my mind like I had imagined them.'Take her spine out.'A very dangerous command uttered against me. And yet I still couldn't move.I had heard those words and I was still frozen in shock.Unfortunately, Damon had also heard them, and was ever willing to oblige.I could feel his fingers and claws pushing past my flesh, tearing muscle and sinew along the way as he continued to inch closer and closer to my spine. The pain was searing and numbing at the same time.I gasped and could only let out silent screams and breathless grunts. My body was still not functioning the way it was supposed to. My motor nerves were defunct but my sensory nerves were working overtime. I could feel every ounce of pain and then some.So when he finally made contact with my spine I felt chills all over my body. From my scalp straight to my toe tips. His hand slowly wrapped itself around the girth of my spinal column, the gaping hole in my back causing
No."Attack her."I didn't even have time to register what she said because I was focusing on what was happening to Damon. In an instant, he had pounced on me while the other minions started to become visible around Sarah again.I've fought with Damon before, but we were training, and he was still him, and he didn't want to kill me.This time was totally different. I wasn't even fighting with Damon, I was fighting Sarah. I saw this because her eyes had turned as black as his, and she was focusing all her energy on me. She's entranced him.She's fighting me through him.Damon lunged at me, and I ducked and kicked him backwards. I tried to think hurriedly between rushed breaths and movements. How do I fight him? I can't hurt him. Will I hurt him if I fight him? Will it hurt her? He came for me again and bit into my shoulder, I reached my arms back, grabbed unto his shoulders, and yanked him off me, slamming him hard unto the ground. He grabbed my ankle and pulled me down to the
All of a sudden, I was left alone. They'd stopped attacking me.They're trying to leave.I was scared that they'd do that.If they escape today, we might never get them together again to end this.I really hope Damon and Evelyn were able to pull through.Just then, from around and above me, I felt surges in the atmosphere.Simultaneously walking in, there was Evelyn with Damon and Marcus right behind her. I heard them before I actually saw them.Evelyn's hair was all loose, actually levitating around her as she muttered some words and kept her hands up in the air. In twos and threes, people all started filing in from the hedge entrance at the far end of the clearing. This was way more than we agreed upon. In a short amount of time, there were almost sixty to seventy people here, all looking ready to fight. I even saw Mavis and James line up behind Damon and Marcus.Evelyn's voice got progressively louder as I caught my breath, looking all around and feeling all my wounds close up
I was in shock.When she was done doing whatever she was doing to the bubble she smiled. Because she knew what she was doing. She was distracting me. But I didn't even care about her anymore.I was frozen, staring at the woman. The woman who was still seemingly unconscious, fading fast and almost lifeless.The woman I would be replacing.The woman who sent me back when I almost died. The woman whose picture lies in my drawer with her brown long wavy hair, her hair that was not white because of age or even for the fact that she'd been overused or drained. Her white hair that was so in her wolf state. In her white wolf state. I'd stared at this face a million times in my worn out picture. I'd stared at this face even in the mirror. I knew her. I know her.It's her. It's really her."Only fitting that you've come to replace your mother isn't it. Generational blood is always the strongest." Sarah cackled.She was distracting me. Trying to throw me off. "One wolf supplying an entire t
There was no one here.Nothing here. And there was certainly no matter right in the air where my fist just was.I stretched my hand forward but there was nothing there. Like I'd just imagined it. But I've been through too much to just overlook things.I closed my eyes and punched the air around that spot again, but nothing.Stop. Breathe and feel the surge.I directed my rage and energy again and let it out in another punch. My hand bounced back again. It felt like I had hit some sort of jelly. Some thick invisible sturdy jelly.What is this?This time, keeping my focus I placed both hands on where I thought this jelly was, and I held it. I could feel it. And it wasn't just a little blob. It was huge, like a whole wall of the stuff. What is this? Are they in here? Keeping up with it, I tried to focus more of my energy on it to try and get through the barrier but I couldn't break it. It was literally exerting the same amount of force pushing me away as I was putting on it. "Ahh!
I'd committed the place to memory. I knew exactly where they were. And even if I didn't, they'd find me. They were expecting me. But they certainly weren't expecting me in the capacity in which I was going. And even if they were, they were in for a ride regardless. This ends today. It ends now. Walking further I started to notice the trees with the strange markings again. This was it, I was approaching dark woods territory. The etchings were barely visible, probably wearing away over the years or in their case probably decades, the bark protesting against this violation to its skin. I've known for a long time how I act under pressure, and I've known for a shorter while how my wolf acts under pressure. Right now I wasn't acting like anyway I've acted before. I wasn't shaking with apprehension or nerves, and I didn't have a rapid heartbeat filled with determination or wild aggression. I was just calm. Still. But I was blazing with fury.I could feel the ice cold flames wrap themse
Fight day.It was today.A week later has felt like a year.But it's finally here. I lay awake in bed staring at the ceiling.I didn't want to sleep, but Damon insisted, he said I need rest to be at my best today.So I'm here at 2am trying to rest since sleep has inadvertently evaded me, while Damon paces all over the house, doing goodness knows what.He's restless, I know.We all are. Even though we don't actually leave until 4pm, it's been impossible to relax. I haven't slept for almost two days now, but sleep was so far from me.I was going to take the lead. Locate the 'sanctuary' as they call it, by myself, and then have Damon and the rest follow my trail a little while later. How was I feeling right now? Scared?No.Anxious? Yes. I want to get it over with.Angry? Well, let's just say that whatever we have planned for them, they've got it coming.I spoke to Sorayah on the phone yesterday, she's already trying to make it back but I'm not sure what time she'll get here.It's
***A few minutes had gone by and we were still deep in conversation, regarding the sisters, what was happening, well the main gist of it and how we had to move forward.Even though I completely engrossed in the conversation I caught his footsteps before he even stepped on the lawn.I glanced over at Aliyah who had her eyes trained on Evelyn as she spoke of healer capabilities when they are in full bloom.I could sense him approaching. He was now outside the door. And by the way he lingered there for a whole five minutes I'm sure he knew who was in here. He was here to go over some things with Damon, something I would have to sit in on as well at some point.When I had planned this earlier I didn't think that it would take so long. I didn't even consider them running into each other. Is it going to be awkward or is it actually a good thing? To clear the air maybe?He finally stepped in, Sam, the head guard, in tow. They walked up to us and then greeted me."Alpha." They both said a
