Rogue Princess Chapter 54
VANESSA I fall to the ground with a thud. My head is spinning as if I had too much to drink but I refuse to vomit in front of this witch. Pulling myself unsteadily to my feet I take in my surroundings. The room is impossibly dark, but my eyes adjust easily to the lack of light. I find myself standing in the center of a small cell. A small cot sits in one corner and a bucket in the other. Approaching the heavy bars on the door I reach out a finger to touch them and the sting of silver causes me to draw my finger back. Hushed voices are echoing down the long corridor outside of my cell. “We did not ask you to bring just any Lycan, Lilith.” A woman’s hushed voice travels to my ears. “You were meant to bring the child.”“The child is well protected,” Lilith’s voice rings out in return. “This one may be able to help us get to the child.”“What makes you think that she will be so willing to turn on her own,” the first woman asks with curiosity.“She wants the same thing that we

EREBUS“Alpha,” a voice chimes off in my head through the mind link. “There is a witch here at the gate claiming to be Luna’s grandmother.”“Is her name Grace?” I respond quickly. I should have known that she would know exactly when to show up.“Yes Alpha, her name is Grace,” the guard responds.“Bring her to me at once,” I yell loudly through the link. Grace bursts through the hospital room door and stares at the runes on Ella’s arms that are glowing brighter by the moment. “Are you trying to kill her?” She glares at me. “She needs to be in the moonlight so she can shift.” “Shift?” Grace must be losing her mind, there are much more important things to worry about right now.“Yes, shift,” she grumbles hurriedly. “It is the only way to free her.”It is just past midnight when we finally get Ella outside. Her body is still limp and warm in my arms. The winter rainstorm has finally stopped, and the weather has gotten considerably colder. Grace wraps her cloak around her in an

ELLA The beacon of power that escapes my body rips my soul from its host. Silently I watch as if I am an outsider, an outsider that can only watch what is happening. Trapped in deafening silence I watch as tears stream down Erebus’s face as he carries me gently but quickly into the packhouse. I watch as the doctor did everything that he could to wake me, but nothing works. Erebus and the doctor speak to one another but all I hear is silence. The look of defeat on Erebus’s face is heart wrenching. Slowly I move to his side, needing to comfort him but my hands move through his body like mist. Just then Grace bursts through the doors to my room and stares at my body in horror. Something is wrong I can tell by the way she is screaming at Erebus but once again all I hear is silence. The runes on my body are still glowing brightly on my arms like they were freshly carved into my skin with a knife, but as I look down at my own arms there is nothing there. Not one mark, not one scar

EREBUS Bursts of air whip in and around the circle of flames. Each burst causing the flames to shoot up into the air farther. Ella stands in the center of the circle holding her arms out to her sides commanding the two elements of fire and air. Grace is pushed closer and closer to the center of the circle by the ever growing flames behind her. Ella is not someone that I recognize at the moment. Her glowing emerald eyes and the careless look upon her face is terrifying. I don’t dare step between them because I do not yet know what Ella is capable of. “I asked why you suppressed my powers for so long,” Ella yells above the roaring flames. Standing in the center of the fire with nothing on and her hair whipping around her face, as the bursts of air break through the flames, she looks like the most powerful force in the world. Grace shakes her head and drops to her knees as Ella’s aura washes over her time and time again. “I needed to keep you safe until you found your mate,”

VANESSA Two witches appear at my door each with an indifferent look on their face. None of the witches that visit me ever smile and they constantly look down upon me. I am unsure how long I have been in this cell, but I know that it has been at least a week. Once again I reach within, trying to search for my inner lycan but she is still no where to be found. The wards that protect this place must suppress all supernatural powers. “I demand an audience with whomever is in charge here,” I state with my shoulders held back and my head held high. “Well,” one of the witches says slyly. “Today is your lucky day. The High Witch is finally willing to see you after Lilith’s little mistake.” She snaps her fingers and the witch beside her turns to mist and appears impossibly fast at my side, stabbing me in the arm with a needle. “Thank you Aella,” the witch says as she dismisses the witch that injected me. “Aella is truly a wonder,” she says turning her attention back to me. “She
Rogue Princess Chapter 59
EREBUS I spent the night staring at Ella lying naked in my arms. Brushing her dark locks away from her face I watch her as she frowns in her sleep. I fear which Ella she will be when she wakes. Will she be the sweet and carefree Ella or will she be the vindictive Ella from last night. Nuzzling my nose into her neck I inhale deeply. Now that the ruins have disappeared from her body her scent is so much stronger than before, much more addicting. Unable to stop myself I run my tongue over my mark on her neck and she moans loudly in her sleep. Running my hands up her sides I let the sparks of the mate bond slowly wake her up. Her eyes flutter open and she gives me a shy grin. I let out a sigh of relief, this is my Ella. Stretching her arms widely to the sides she smiles at me as the scent of her arousal fills the air. Pinning her beneath my body I begin to trail kisses up and down her neck. Her hips buck under my own begging for me to take her. Lining up the head of my co
Rogue Princess Chapter 60
ELLA Vanessa is laying in the hospital bed crying out in pain in her sleep. The blisters on her face have begun to spread down her neck and onto her chest and arms. The only place that is clear of lesions is where I ran my fingers along her skin outside of the gates. I hadn’t meant to try and cure her in that moment, but my emotions took over like they did last night. I can feel my power burning under my skin, like an itch that needs to be scratched. In the moments where I feel pity for Vanessa, I can feel it surge forward and I have to call it back like and unruly child. Erebus has ordered that none of the pack doctors go near Vanessa for fear that her condition is contagious. He tried to command that I too stay away from her, but I only rolled my eyes in irritation. It is my fault that she is in this position to begin with. But what I don’t understand is why did they take Vanessa? Why not take someone that is close to me like when they took Alec? It makes no sense. Grac
Rogue Princess Chapter 61
ELLA Grace looks at me with a worried look on her face. “Ella,” she begins, “What if you become sick as well and I cannot save you?” “Then I guess Vanessa will finally get Erebus to herself,” I say half joking. “I know I will be okay. But…” I pause for a moment looking down at Vanessa and the thought of ending up like her makes me shutter. “If I am not okay. Tell Erebus to move on. Tell him to find his second chance mate.” “He will kill me if I let you do this,” Grace swallows hard. “He won’t,” I assure her. “He knows how stubborn I am. Now lock the door.” Grace clicks the lock on the door and gives me a small nod. Pulling a chair next to Vanessa I gaze down at her sleeping peacefully with the aid of morphine. Her breaths are becoming more and more shallow with each passing moment, and I know that she doesn’t have long. Opening the mind link with Erebus I can feel his unease through the bond. “I love you,” I tell him through the link. “This choice was mine and mine
