All Chapters of Rising From The Ashes: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

A month later-The dull air in the big spacious kitchen matched with the dullness in my eyes as my hands slowly scrubbed the plate, my muscles sore and so exhausted that such a simple task feels like pushing a huge rock.Nikona has not once stop his torture on me nor did he let me see my parents.As much as it is heart wrenching, an afraid part of me was relieved because facing them after being the reason behind their daughter's death was too much of a deal for my already shattered soul.I don't think I could ever look them in the eye.Sighing heavily, I placed the plate on the rack.A spooky crunch crippled through the dull silence of the kitchen.I flinched at the sound, my arms instinctively rose to cover my face.A moment passed then another, I straightened myself and quietly dragged my feet towards the door before peeking in the living room.Nikona stood in the corridor with his back facing me, a smartphone in his hand as he aggressively typed on the screen.My eyes moved to the giant

The sickening smell of antiseptic filled my nostrils, straight sending a burning sensation in my stomach.I opened my eyes only to scrunch them tight at the bright light sipping through them.Feeling helpless upon not being able to move my hand, legs or anything, a lump formed in my throat.I forced open my eyes, struggling for a short while until the blinding lights subsided and adjusted with my eyesight.I am on the bed in a hospital room.IV and other machines beeping irritates my ear, but ignoring the irritation, I look around the sickening yellow tinted walls until my eyes land on the curled up figure on the couch.I blink a couple of times, his face was covered with his dark hair.It must be Rick if I am not wrong.He moved around a little, revealing the heavy blood stain on his green vest.My throat turned dry, fear settled in my chest as I slowly darted my eyes down to my stomach.The hospital gown on my body hid what I intended to see.A low whimper left my lips causing Rick to sti

I woke up in a dimly lit room, covered by a blanket that kept me warm.A beautiful pattern design on the ceiling with a chandelier hung in the center.I push myself up and lean back against the headboard in an attempt to relax myself as my eyes scan the small but cozy room.Unlike a common room filled with nightstand, mirror, closet.This only had a bed which is weird considering the interior of it.Shrugging it off, I attempt to get out of the bed.However freezing when the door opened, revealing an old woman clad in a soft pink gown with her long dark hair resting down to her thighs.Goddess! She is gorgeous even at such an age."You are up" She says, her tone monotonous and face a blank canvas."Yes, thankyou for—"I doubt you are using the correct word" She cuts me off, gracefully walking inside the room.I blink in confusion."I'm sorry I don't—"Now you got it right, darling" She says, crossing her arms and observing me very keenly."An apology is a way to start a conversation to th

Two weeks have passed with me in The Moonstone charm.Not once did my wolf respond to me and if it was not already bad, my attempts to shift resulted in failure as well.I am distraught at this point with everything going on in my life.Luciano, the man I perceived as a nice helpful father figure, turned out to throw a bombshell on me.I have noticed how he observes me from time to time, his eyes have glowed once a while every time we talk, although I try to keep the conversation short.From a couple of days, he has started to get too close to me despite my discomfort, despite the fact that he is way older than me.To make the matter worse, I can't do anything regarding his intentions.He holds a powerful position in the Pack, in the Human realm that if I do anything against his liking, there are high chances I could go through the same fate I did with Nikona.It's like I am trapped all over again."Elsa, I am back.What's for dinner?" Luciano's voice echoed in the living room.I dry my hand

I stare out the window in the passenger seat whilst Luciano drives the car.He has not once shut up about how much he hates having to attend an urgent gathering.It wasn't what disgusted me about him but his cheap views about Luna Christine."Good riddance.That woman had her face stuck far up her ass.She really thought of herself as more capable than Alpha.Bullshit! She doesn't even come close to a basic man in the Pack.I was too fucking tired of her constant commands as if she is the Alpha.Women like her don't get far in life.She could have simply just please Alpha and keep her nose out of every matter that was for men to deal.Now look what happened, her thickhead got exploded" He chuckled at the end."What are you trying to say? Why would someone want her dead?" I ask, keeping my phone close to my chest."I can count on my fingers how many want her dead, including me.The satisfaction I got to hear the news.""Did you plan her accident?" I ask after a long silence. "I'm sorry.Of course
