I got up and tried to get to my room since I was in Damon's room.+ But I found out too late that walking wasn't nearly an option for me right now... That was a bit unexpected. So, as honorably as I could, I crawled to my room and locked the door. Thankfully, I wasn't completely naked either and I had a pair of boxer briefs on. Which were probably Damon's. ***** I was now lying on my bed, after a relaxing bath which seemed to have numbed some of the soreness, lost in another world... Thinking about what had happened and about how I'm supposed to feel about it. How do I feel? Incredible... No, I don't think that's it. Pure bliss... Narh, not really. I'm confused. I don't know how I'm supposed pto feel. Complete... I mentally rolled my eyes at my wolf for being in such a blissful state. Its your fault that this happened. You took control over me last night. And I don't regret it.......and neither do you. And it was true. Even though this morning turned out to be one o
"Why on earth did you bring me here at this time." I said folding my hands over my chest tiredly and leaning back against the tree stump. Even though soaking wet and freezing I was still sleepy. Which was kinda beyond me, that sudden burst of liquid on me should have knocked all the sleep out of me. I guess I was just really tired.+ We didn't get much sleep last night. My wolf said suggestively. Remove that smug tone from your voice at once! It's true though. Come to think of it, he carried me all the way out here, and I didn't stir or wake up, not even once? That's too deep of a sleep. What happened to all your wolf senses? We could have been in danger. But we weren't. Our mate was with us. She purred obviously feeling content. I rolled my eyes at her. "Training." Is all he said bringing me back to the issue at hand. I shook my head and wondered if I had heard correctly. First of all I don't rember the last time I went for training and isn't training done with the rest of
"Gabby?" I said into the phone but the line was already dead. I didn't know what to do. I was confused for the first five minutes and then in shock for another ten.+ I tried to call back but the number was blocked. Gabriella is in trouble. And the worst part is she's not alone. She said us. Could it be possible that my mom and dad were there? But then why would she call me? I had a bad feeling in my gut which only intensified when I realised that she had actually called me. On my phone. Which I got not too long ago. How did she get my number? Something wasn't right here. Nothing was adding up in my head. I was still in shock. Oh no. I hope they're okay. She screamed. Is she being tortured? Did someone kidnapp her and now wants ransom? From me? I don't have any money! Why would they call me and not the police? It can only be that who ever has her made her call me. But why? Why call me? What kind of trouble can they be in? What did they get themselves mixed up in? Afte
"Okay here goes nothing." I was currently gripping the steering wheel of Damon's Range Rover. The address already entered into the GPS.+ After Damon had disappeared earlier that night I decided to take the opportunity to get to my family as quickly as possible before I suddenly chicken out. I knew it was a bad idea, but I just needed to get to them. I had to make quick work of lying to the guards when they saw me in the car, that Damon had asked me to come pick him up from wherever it is that he was. They didn't really buy my story so I turned to use the Luna command before they had a chance to mind link him and they obeyed me like puppies. Hmm, I should use that command more often. Yeah, that's is you ever get the chance again. Now with the minimal driving skills I posses I should be able to get this thing there without harm right? Wrong. After a gruesome three hour journey I had successfully crashed into five trees, which is only practical since I was driving through the wo
A door banged shut. I opened my eyes just in time to see Damon two feet away from me. I was lying on a bed in a pretty plain room. White walls and a grey carpet. And a bed in the center covered in grey sheets. That was pretty much all that there was to see. Damon's eyes were alight and he had a small smile playing on his lips. He walked closer to me slowly shaking his head. I wanted to move towards him too but my body felt so heavy, I literally couldn't even move. "Oh Adriane, why are you so stubborn?" He said and sat at the edge of my bed right beside me. "Damon." I said and I tried to reach out for him again. I was glad to see him. He had come for me. This time my hand did move a bit, with a lot of effort on my part. But my it just went through him. I was stunned for a second. And he disappeared into whirlpool of blackness. And I woke up. And I was surrounded by darkness. I was dreaming. I tried to look around but I couldn't see much. Being in the dark only led me
England? England. You've got to be kidding me.I'm in England? I immediately tried to sit up straighter in bed. I had to ignore the burning stinging sensations in my body as I propped myself up against the headboard. "Please tell me you're joking." I stared wide eyed at him. The one time in my life I actually take a trip out of the country, it's against my will and I was unconscious for most of it. He furrowed his brows a bit and shook his head slightly. "Why would I be joking. You're finally home princess." He smiled at me and tried to reach out for my hands. I jerked back slightly. His eyes darkened again. Knowing that I was in a foreign country just made me feel vulnerable all of a sudden. I didn't like it. I didn't like the unfamiliarity of it. I didn't like that everyone I've ever known is on a different continent, thousands and thousands of miles away from me. I took a deep breath and shut my eyes briefly. "Please, you have to take me back I can't be here. You hav
I tried to make my way out of that room as quickly and delicately as possible.I had almost completely healed but I was still slightly sore. So I had to make sure I took my time walking so as not to injure myself further. But also not get caught. And I made sure that I packed a few pillows under the duvet to buy me extra time. Real smart. My wolf had finally woken up. Thank you. And just like that, I was out of the room, but not without taking a mouthful of the food that was brought. I slipped into what I believed was a hallway. But it had an eerie feel to it. There were weird ornaments hanging from the ceiling, old vases decorating the blue lit hallway. And what creeped me out the most was the ancient oil paintings of people that hung on the walls, whose eyes seemed to watch my every move. I snuck down the hallway towards a frosted glass door. I could make a blurry image of a room further ahead filled with sunlight. I opened the door and true, my face was instantly bombard
He had already swiftly shifted back into his human form.+Broad muscled flesh pushing me further into the damp earth with his weight.His hands continued ravishing my exposed body, his teeth gently grazing my skin as he planted kisses all over my sensitive skin. Each kiss he gave me stung a little. Literally stung.And the best part.He was stark naked.And very excited.His hand secretely slipped into my shorts and I tried to squeeze my legs together to deny him access.But he just laughed."Your body betrays you princess." He whispered in my ear.I wondered if for a moment I had unconsciously kissed him back, but I had not.I realised from the way he kissed me, held me all over and didn't just force himself on me at once.He was trying to get me to think that I was enjoying this, trying to make me think I want him. Want this.My body may be doing a whole lot of things right now, right from mild shivering to the rapid thumping of my heart, but aroused I was not.I couldn't let him ge
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
