LOGIN198 – VICTORY AT LASTREBEKKA POVSir Claude stopped in his tracks and his eyes moved over to alpha Stephan, awaiting his instruction.The whole crowd remained silent.I looked at Alpha Stephan too. Could she do that? Could she invoke the Iron Rule? What was even that?“Nessa…” alpha Stephan strained.“I will not let her have you alpha, not without a fight. A low born has no place at your side,” she remained adamant, her voice shaking with her steely resolve.Alpha Stephan exhaled deeply, “Very well, the Iron Rule is in effect.”The explosion from the crowd was energetic, cheers rippled from every nook and cranny of the alpha pack house.Alpha Stephan turned to look at me, his eyes showing that he understood my confusion, “You’re going to have to fight for me, Rebekka.”“What?” I muttered.“Fight for me, just like I have fought for you every step of the way. Don’t let me down, else I would be forced to live the rest of my life in misery.”He was serious, there was no mirth in his voic
197 – JEALOUSY AND THE IRON RULEREBEKKA POV“This war is over!” Stephan’s victorious voice reached me inside the cave.I coughed as I tried to get up, the second explosion that the Supreme Mother had caused broke the cave-in that separated me from Sir Claude and Williams.I started to get to my feet.“No,” a deep base voice oozed with sorrow.I stopped and looked up.The warlock, the Wolf Slayer, was kneeling in front of the Supreme Mother’s body.His huge body was shaking uncontrollably, “You can’t go, you can’t leave me alone here, come back to me,” he was muttering, shaking the Supreme Mother’s corpse.I groaned as I rose up.He looked over his shoulder, his eyes filled with tears and hate, “You did this,” he snarled in his low, almost inhumane voice.I backed up.He got up and started charging at me, “You did this!” he yelled, consumed by grief and anger.Out of nowhere came Sir Claude, the Wolf Slayer did not see him, he was too consumed with rage and grief, too focused on me to
196 – AMONGST BROTHERSSTEPHAN POVThe trembling in the cave bothered me.The first one sounded like it was in the general direction of where Rebekka and Claude were.It had been almost eight minutes since I heard Damon’s roaring words, I could feel it, I was close to him, any moment now.There was another terrible tremor and dust fell listlessly off the roof of the cave as the reverberation reached me.I felt a knot in my stomach, I turned to Tony, “Go make sure that they are okay.”He stared at me, “But–” he stopped himself, “Yes alpha.”He darted back in the general direction that we came.I took a deep breath, Rebekka had to be okay, if not, all this was not worth it, she needed to survive.I kept moving forward.It was strange, I could still hear the sound of fighting raging around the cave network but I had not encountered a single witch or warlock since I started going after Damon.It was as if the entire area had been cleared out for both of us.I took a right turn and came to
195 – A WITCH AND A PRIESTESSREBEKKA POV“Stephan!” an unnatural voice roared from a far distance sending goosebumps all over my body.“Damon!” I muttered under my breath, beads of sweat forming on my temple. The cave structure shook badly and more rubble and dust fell off the top.“Show yourself to me boy!” the voice boomed again, rattling the place.It was just three of us now, me, Sir Claude and one other wolf who I heard sir Claude call William.Alpha Stephan and the one called Tony had left to go after Damon and now Sir Claude and William were leading me out to safety.My whole body was still tingling, every sense seemed heightened beyond what it was and finally, I could see clearly in the dark.“Stop!” I barked suddenly.Sir Claude halted and looked at me with a frown, “What is it?”The hairs on my body stood on edge, “Something is coming,” I said.His gaze narrowed, he could tell something was different about me, “Luna, there is nothing up ahead.”I shook my head, I could fe
194 – A DIFFERENT BREEDDAMON POVRebekka was dead by now.I thought that I would feel bad, that I would have some regret but I felt nothing.All I could feel was a hunger, a burning, itching hunger.The scent of wolves swarmed into the cave.“They are here,” I said to Lady Cecile.She turned to look at me, “Well, what are you waiting for? Go greet them.”I scoffed, “Since when do I do as you command?”She arched an eye brow and then one of her eyes shimmered deeply.My body moved two steps towards the exit.I stared at her, my look a mix of confusion and surprise.She smiled, “You think I will give you such power without putting some sort of a leash on you?”I snarled, “You conniving bitch!” I darted towards her before she or Baylor could react. I knew it, one slap and her head would be removed from her body but as my palm came close to her face, I stopped myself.What?Lady Cecile stiffened when her perception finally caught up with my super-fast movement.Even Baylor looked shocke
193 - ENTWINEMENTREBEKKA POVI closed my eyes.It took all my strength to speak to Alpha Stephan.I barely had any left, I could feel my life slipping away.“Where do I get blood, Claude?” Alpha Stephan’s shaky voice sounded.I forced my eye lids open.“Uhm…”“C’mon, think!” he snapped at Claude.Claude stared at him with a blank expression on his face.Alpha Stephan held onto his shoulders, “She cannot die, do you hear me?”As I looked at Lord Stepahn, something weird happened, I felt something pulsing, something calling out to me from within him.He stiffened and looked at me, it was as if he felt it too.He looked at his veins, they were dangerously red and engorged, almost as if they wanted to burst out of his body.“My blood,” he gasped.“What?” Sir Claude sounded confused. “My blood,” his eyes narrowed as he kept staring at his veins as they spread out across both of his hands, all of them coming to the surface and pulsing with a light red color. Without hesitation, he whippe
