- Angeline-“It’s because Ethan is my half-brother,” Fiona said, surprising me once again.“Oh,” was the only reply I could give as I let Fiona tell her story.“When Ethan’s mother died his father married my mother who gave birth to me. And the reason why we don’t look alike is because I look more like my mother, while Ethan looks like our father.”“Did Ethan betrayed you?” I asked as I remembered what she had said to me before I surrendered to their ruthless healer.“Ethan?” She asked in confusion. Then as if she remembered what I meant she laughed and said, “Oh, no, no. Ethan would never betray me, he would never do such a thing. Ethan
- Stefan-The war that we were expecting never came. The Wave Water pack was safe. When I asked Claire where she got the tip. She said that the Alpha or the Cold Stone pack gave the information because one of his runners saw the vampires pass by their pack.I had to call the Alpha of the pack to check if what Claire said was true and he did confirm which is why he alerted all the packs close to him. Lately, I am on the edge because I can’t really determine who is on my side and who is not. Especially with what happened with Angeline and our baby. I look at the small crib beside my bed as I let the sound of a soft whimper fill my room. I used to imagine Angeline sleeping on her side of the bed as she looked over the small crib, watching our child. I was supposed to mark her the moment that she had given birth. I was supposed to announce that she is going to be their Luna. I was supposed to let everyone know, including other packs, who she really was. But all of that vanished as sh
- Angeline-After the initial meeting, it seemed like Ethan was so busy that I never had a chance to cross paths with him while I was healing. On the other hand, I always see her sister, Fiona, who was lovely to be with. She was a fun, understanding, smart, and strong independent woman. She was the kind of woman I wanted to become and more. But I know that I will never be like her. But I found out that there was something I was good at that she knew nothing about. And that was baking.“No way!” Fiona said in disbelief as I offered her another slice of the chocolate cake I had baked. “I can’t believe that you can cook a cake this delicious.”“Bake,” I said as I placed another slice in front of her.“What?” she asks with her mouth full. “I can cook a little, but my forte is baking,” I replied as I took the seat opposite her.“Well, at least you know a little,” Fiona said as she took another bite, “because if you ask me, I can’t even fry an egg because I always burn it. Which is why
- Angeline-I watched as Ethan walked around the room before finally settling down in the chair opposite mine. “So how are you feeling now?” He asked as he looked at me. The playfulness was gone but there was something in his eyes that I can’t quite figure out. Was he concerned about me?Unfortunately, it was gone before I could even figure it out. “I’m fine,” I replied. He nodded.“Are you ready to go back to Stefan?” He asked softly. But was surprised when he heard my answer. “No,” I replied. “And why is that?” He asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. “The last time we met he was so adamant on letting me know that I shouldn’t cross the line when it comes to you, his precious mate. I’m sure he’s looking for you now.”“Have anyone told you to mind your own business?” I said looking straight into his brown eyes. “A lot actually,” he said smiling, “including your Mate. But you see, I would have done just that if you weren’t staying in my pack. Because I need to know what y
- Angeline-I have never thought that there would come a time when I would choose another Alpha. That I would swear my loyalty to anyone, other than Stefan.But things have changed. Now I understand what people mean when they say that all good things come to an end. Because everything that was good for me has already ended.I look out of the window and watch as the moon shines on the dark night. My hand automatically went to my now empty belly and I couldn’t help the longing that lay heavily in my heart. I close my eyes as I try to remember the feeling I had while my son was still inside me. His movements, his weight, and the feeling of his beating heart. I can still remember the sound of his cries the moment they took him away from me. And as I remember all these memories, I can’t help but feel the pain of not being able to hold my old child and losing him. The anger I am feeling white lying on that bed, helplessly.I took a deep breath as I let the pain seep deep into my skin so
- Angeline-Ethan was persistent in knowing my plan. But I was also persistent in not telling him. I know that what I’m going to do would have a big impact on his pack. Which is why I can’t stay here for long. “Okay,” Ethan said as he sat in front of me while I was eating my breakfast. “Just give me something. A sneak peek into your plans.”I looked at him and I can’t help but pity him. I know what it feels like not to know. When all you have are speculations and no facts to back it up. Maybe I can give him a little peak of what I had in mind since I would be needing a lot of him from him and his pack. Sighing, I add a bit of drama making him believe that what I would say is a big part of my plan. “First, I need to train,” I explained. “If I am going to exact my revenge, I can’t be weak. I need to be strong both physically and mentally which means I need someone who can train me in both aspects.” “Then you are looking at him,” I know that this would be his reply which is why I pre
-Angeline-That afternoon, just like what Ethan promised, he made sure that the oath-taking would take place in the house where he had provided me with just a few people. We all gathered in the living room where his Beta and Gamma stood on either side of him while Fiona and Merik sat on the couch near them. Raja sat on the opposite couch while an old man that I hadn’t met yet sat beside Raja. The center table was moved to the side so that I could stand in front of Ethan when I started to take my oath. “Thank you for taking your time to join us,” Ethan started to say as he greeted the old man and Raja. “And I will forever be in your debt for keeping this all between all of us.”With that, he pricked his fingers and dropped his blood on a wine glass. The rest of the people in the room did the same thing he did and when the last one placed his blood on the wine glass he gave it back to Ethan who took a sip from the glass with wine mixed with their blood and then passed it all around.
-Stefan-It’s been days since Angeline went missing but I am still not giving up. As long as I feel the faint beating of her heart, I will continuously have hope and try everything in my power just to find her. I would have done it personally, only if I was not trapped in this alliance meeting once again. “I am telling you that the vampires are really planning something,” one of the pack leaders said. “We got a tip-off but nothing happened,” the other complained. “Aren’t we supposed to be happy that nothing happened instead of having this same meeting but we are discussing how we would help those that were attacked to get back on their feet?” Beta Claire replied. “But we still don’t know what the vampires are up to,” the pack leader who spoke earlier pointed out.“Yes!” Another pack leader agreed. “We are sitting ducks waiting to be attacked.” “Has anyone of you seen them attack?” The Alpha of the Dark Water pack asked. “Because honestly I am beginning to doubt their existence a
