ALYSIA“Juliana?” I whispered and removed the phone from my ears to stare at it. The call had disconnected.“No, no, no” I whispered frantically as my hand skimmed over the phone, dialing the number again “Please answer the phone” I begged as the phone began to ring.Once. Twice. Three times. The call disconnected without an answer.“Come on, come on… please, Julianna, answer the call” I tried again, holding the phone so tightly my knuckles turned white, but the phone went unanswered.My phone closed up with fear. I scrambled to my feet. I could feel my ears ringing with the intense terror I felt.“Damon” I whispered “I have to tell him. I have to know where he is”“Damon, if you can hear me please answer me” I begged into the mind link but there was a wall up. Damon had shut me out and I couldn’t get to him.“Damon, please. If you can hear me, at least just give me a signal that you are there” I begged but it was useless as silence greeted me.I threw my phone to the floor, the loud
ALYSIAThe moment I opened my eyes, I knew something was wrong. Something gnawed at me, telling me that something was happening.I looked to the side to find it empty and when I pressed my hand down on Damon’s side of the bed, it was cold. He had been gone from our room for a while. This made me frown, and it didn’t help that my heart was pounding softly in my chest.I rubbed the spot over my heart, wondering what this feeling of dread was.I pushed the sheets to the side and climbed down from the bed. I listened and the air felt too still. The comforting presence of the people in the house was all gone, signifying that no one was here.“What is happening?” I muttered to myself as I hurried out of the room. I don’t know why but I was frantic with worry as I scanned every corner of the house and listened for anyone but nothing.“Damon?” I called into the empty house even though I already knew that I wouldn’t get an answer. He wasn’t here just like everyone else.A sick, twisting dread
AlysiaShe walked into the house and her eyes widened with shock when she saw two people lying on the ground, wrapped in white.Her heart began pounding heavily, the house was dead silent and the maids were weeping silently.“What happened?” She asked, turning to Amanda who couldn’t stop sobbing.“What’s going on! Can someone tell me what’s wrong?” She demanded, holding onto Amanda with fear coursing through her veins.“Andrew… He…” Amanda stuttered as she struggled to form the words.“No… This is a joke… Tell me you’re lying… Andrew didn’t hurt them… They’re fine right?” She demanded, pleading desperately for them to tell her what she wanted to hear.She glanced at them with fear and Amanda moved away. Her legs began shaking in fear as she neared the bodies.Alysia was trying very hard not to believe it was people she knew but Amanda opened the white clothes and she screamed in shock immediately her eyes landed on Alpha Jayden and Luna Julianna.Damon was sleeping beside Alysia when
Moonlight packAndrew groaned as he turned slowly, Alice was staring at him, anger visible in her eyes. She was furious that Alysia had escaped all because of Andrew.He opened his eyes slowly, grunting in pain and she just stared at him. If she hadn’t rescued him then he'd be in his grave now.“Al… Alysia… Where is Alysia?” He groaned, looking around the room and she scoffed. She hated the fact that it was Alysia he could call onto.“She escaped, all because of you. But since you care about her thay much, you can run in search of her. I’m sure you can still catch up, after all it’s been let me see… five, ten hours, you can still see her.” Alice snapped and his eyes widened.“She escaped! How did she know the exit route?” He demanded as he sat up on the bed and Alice scoffed.“How else? If not through Sarah? I warned you never to let them be together but you didn’t listen, now we’ve lost her! You were so adamant, she blinded you with her looks that thinking properly became so difficul
ALYSIAThe words made the room heavier than it already was but Damon or Serena couldn’t deny that what I said was the truth.Even though it was my words, a chill had settled in my bones but I refused to acknowledge it as fear.Serena sat quietly, slumped against the couch. She didn’t say anything else but she knew I was right.Her eyes were distant and it felt like she had retreated somewhere unreachable. Grief would do that to someone.Her shoulders shook as she cried. I felt bad as I watched her break all over again. It was a difficult situation, I admitted. No one would want to kill a relative a second time but we were going to need her help.Alice wasn’t just a threat. She was a nightmare that had once been buried and now clawed her way out of the grave.“Serena” I sighed pitifully and held both of her hands in mine “There is nothing to be scared of or feel guilty about. You did all you could”“I know that now. I just wish things would have been different”My heart clenched at the
“Twins?” I whispered, eyes wide with shock. “Alice, is your twin sister?” I asked again as if the second time would change her answer, but she only nodded in agreement.“Yes,” Serene answered with a small voice, casting her gaze to the ground as though she was ashamed of the truth she just admitted.“Why didn’t you tell me you were a twin?” I asked, unable to get past the shock and surprise I was feeling at the moment.“I guess I buried her and never wanted to talk or think about her” Serena said, finally looking up at me.“What happened? Why did you both drift apart?” I asked and she flinched at the question.“I think it was jealousy though Alice would never agree” Serena explained with a small voice. Her hands trembled in her lap as she spoke like she could visualize a dark past and it made me more curious to hear what she had to say.“But you were twins? Why would she be jealous?” Damon asked, his brows furrowed.“Alice believed I was a pretender. She would accuse me of being too p
