Another badass side of Alexandria, her hunter side, what do you think about it? ;)
Alexandria POV He closed his eyes, I waited for him to open it again, I begged and pleaded âĶ but he did not respond. His chest is almost still and I can hardly feel his heartbeat, Am I really going to lose him? Thatâs not what I wanted; I just wanted to protect him âĶ not for him to be gone. I did this to him, if he didnât reject me he would have been able to defend himself, if I didnât push him that far he would have been okay. I always do this, bring deathâĶ but I did it right this time, didnât I? I pushed him away, I wasnât selfish like I was with Luke, this time my mate was suppose to live, he is going to live. I start shaking Derek again saying âDerek, just wake up this time and Iâll do whatever you want, please just this once, open your eyesâ, still no response. I hear movement coming from the trees, I snap my head around looking for the dagger I dropped and I can see it just at armâs length, I reach for it and grab it. I stand protectively over Derek with my dagger in my h
Dean POV Still, he is lying still, not even a twitch in his fingers, only his chest going up and down. I canât really remove my eyes away from him since Alexandria left several hours ago, its early morning and I feel like he should wake up any second now, giving me shit about whatever, hell he can even call me Deedee for the rest of my life if only he would wake up. Never in my life did I see Derek in a hospital bed, except once when he protected me from father, which is one of the worst memories I have. Being here again with him like that brings back all the emotions, all the anger, but even then he wasnât hurt that bad, he had his wolf to heal him, but now, even that, she took away from him, leaving him broken and vulnerable. Why couldnât she give him the happiness that he deserves? I mean her reasons arenât that strong really when you think about it. He is Derek Stronghold, he would have protected her from some bigoted hunter thatâs after her... and I donât believe for a minu
Sophia POV âIâm his girlfriend, who the hell are you?â Izzy shoots back, putting a hand on her hips, giving Alexandria her full attention. Oh shit; this is bad, very bad, Izzy canât find out who Alexandria is. I can hear Riaâs teeth grinding against each other and if I concentrate enough, I swear I will see a thin line of smoke coming out of her ears. âEx, Ex-girlfriend Izzyâ I say trying to save the situation and clarify things. âSo that what he meant that day in the officeâ Alexandria says under her breath. âNot for long, Sophia, he wouldnât have invited me here if he didnât want to get back togetherâ Izzy says shifting her attention to me. âNo, he only invited you so you could help with the guardianâs ball preparation as itâs the only thing you are good at, and werenât you supposed to arrive tomorrow or the day after or something?â I say getting annoyed with her pretentious ass. I can see from the corner of my eyes Alexandria burning holes into Derek with her gaze. âDo you
Alexandria POV Itâs been four days, he is still asleep... yes, just asleep. The doctors said his injuries are fully healed but his wolf is for some reason dormant and so is he. I guess the rejection with the attack took its toll on him. He shouldnât have done that, shouldnât have saved me, I could have handled all of the rogues myselfâĶ but I couldnât, could I? Iâm getting rusty. I should go back to training. This canât happen again. I need to be at my full strength for when I kill Adam, the son of a bitch who killed my family. We are close, Max said that he gathered enough evidence against him so that the Hunter community will have no choice but to shun him, and then Iâll hunt him down and kill him, he might be strong and a pure blood but so am I, Iâm one of a kind too, and he wonât have his team to support him this time, he deceived me once but not again. I was pushing my food a round on my plate, not really having an appetite to eat anything with everything happening. I was
Derek POV âDerek, no no no, please stay awake, no, you canât, Iâm sorry, please donât leave me, Iâm so sorryâ her voice keeps playing in my head, her panic and pleading, I want to comfort her so bad but I canât, I canât even move.âPlease donât leave meâ it plays in my head again. Does she want me with her? does she want to be with me?Why was she saying sorry? Sorry that she asked for the rejection? Didnât she say wait just before I finish the rejection?But I already rejected her, is it too late now?âHey, human, how about we wake up and ask her ourselves because you are giving me a fucking headacheâ âWell, itâs about time you wake up assholeâWith a growl we open our pitch black eyes, then Rex retreats to the back of my mind.I groan as I try to sit up, my back is stiff probably from sleeping for too long.Before I could fully sit up, Iâm crushed back to the bed with a massive body.âYou are finally up, big broâ Dean says. âYeah and you probably broke my back Deedee, Get off of
Alexandria POV He kissed me, and I didnât even hesitate to kiss him back, I didnât understand how much I needed to kiss him until his lips touched mine. It was like nothing I had before, itâs more, more passion, more feelings, more hunger, I canât imagine going on without being kissed by him again. A knock on the door brought us out of our little world that we were lost in. What the hell am I doing? He is not my mate anymore, he canât be mine. And in came Izzy flying into his armsâĶyes, this is a mistake, a big mistake. I excuse myself and almost ran to my room. I enter and shut the door behind me. What the hell was I thinking, of course when itâs too late I realize my feelings, how dumb am I to think I can actually have something that I wantâĶ I only got myself to blame. âStupid, stupid, stupidâ I shout out loud and kick the first thing I see which is my bag. It falls on its side with the zipper open and few things fall out, one of which is Lukeâs hoodie. I just stand the
Derek POV I find the way to Alexandriaâs room and knock on the door. There is no answer. I knock again and still no answer. Maybe she is not there? But her scent is very strong, which means she is inside. I canât really hear anything because the rooms are all soundproof... Iâll wait a minute and knock again. If she doesnât answer, Iâll just let myself in, she might be hurt âĶ I have to make sure she is okay, yeah, thatâs a good enough reason, right? I knock after a minute and no answer again. Maybe she is mad and doesnât want to talk? or she is actually asleep. Itâs pretty late now, thatâs the more realistic scenario than âthe she got hurt" oneâĶ but if thatâs the case, itâs the more reason I have to talk to her. I knock one more time then turn the knob to open the door and it's unlocked, then I stop. What if she is changing her clothes or in the shower or something? âEven betterâ âShut up you pervertâ I open the door slowly and I see her sleeping on her bed, she looks so pe
Alexandria POV I kicked him out of my room and slammed the door in his face. I had to, if I didnât do it in that moment, Iâd be having his babies soon, and he is the one to blame really âĶ with the fucking kiss on the cheek, who am I? His fucking sister? Oh my god this is getting out of control, Iâm getting out of control, I canât do this, this is wrong, what about Luke, he is my mateâĶ but Derek is mine now, so was it really that wrong to kiss him? âĶ Is he still my mate? I mean he rejected me but it feels the same. I slide against the door covering my face with my hands, I donât know what to do anymore, my soul feels heavy with all sorts of emotions, mostly guilt and desire, whatâs wrong with me? My phone buzzes, I crawl to the night stand, yes crawl, I have no energy to even walk anymore, I pick up the phone and its Max confirming our meeting tomorrow, or is it today now, We are way after midnight. 'what are you doing Alexandria' I ask myself out loud, I feel like Iâm being pulle
Derek POVâYou son of bitchâ Alexandria yells at meâYou call yourself the alpha slayer?â Alexandria continue her scolding âNo, I donât call myself thatâĶpeople call me thatâ I answer smirking which seems to enrage her even more âI donât care what you are called, you are still a cowardâ Alexandria screams at me, okay, now she is taking it too far, as she usually does, and I wonât take itâListen here mate, call me whatever names you want to call me, Iâm still not going to do it, and I hate to sound like a dick, but thatâs what the omegas are forâ I say firmly âSo you are still not going to do itâĶ you are backing out of this?â she says with a fake disappointed lookâIâm not backing out of anything since Iâm not the one who volunteered in the first placeâ I say throwing my hands in the air.âIt doesnât matter we are in it together, you are supposed to have my backâ she starts yelling again âLove, Iâll always have your back, but Iâm not changing that stinky diaperâ I say trying to cal
Three years agoAdam POVI was sitting in the office with Max discussing something unimportant or maybe it was then Carter comes rushing in without even knockingâWe found herâ Carter says with a glint in his eyes, he always had a thing for my Lexi and he actually thought he might have a chance in being the one Iâd marry her off to,Donât get me wrong, carter is smart and ambitious but he is one of the weaker lineages , I had much bigger plans for her than just another pure hunter,. Mason Venatores , Maxâs older brother, theyâre the only other family as strong as ours, they will have the strongest offspring, unfortunately the fool only sees her as a little sister like he says, Max is the one following her like a lost puppy but he doesnât have a say in this neither do Lexi.âLetâs go get her back thenâ I say standing up and getting ready to leave the officeâWe already have the pack surrounded, we think the whole pack is in on itâ carter says following me as do Max,All the way to the
Alexandria POV Itâs been a couple of days since the guardiansâ ball, Sophia is getting released from the hospital today , Derek still refuses to read the letter his mother left , I donât know if itâs denial or is he mad at her for leaving them yet again.Dean on the other hand, is taking it harder than I anticipated, he never showed any emotions for the woman or that he cared about her, it was quite the opposite, but now, I guess he feels sorry for her, for what sheâs been through, maybe the letter made him understand her moreâĶ and eventually forgive her.As for Dylan, he didnât leave Louisâs cell until the day after, there were hardly anything for us to bury, not that it mattered anyway, Derek ordered for his remains to be scattered somewhere far away outside the pack borders for vultures to feed onâĶ fitting end if you ask me.The pack is somewhat accepting me, itâs either because Iâm the guardiansâ sister or because I defended them during the attack, or maybe both, I donât care as
warning, the following might be triggering to some, please be careful Elizabeth POVPainâĶ all I feel is pain, like my heart is being ripped out of my chest, my neck is burning like someone poured acid on it, one moment I was sitting in our houseâs basement till the attack is over, the second I was curled on the floor screaming , what is happening?âHe is marking anotherâ my wolf says whimpering, no, not after all what I did for him, it canât be true.The pain somehow gets even worse, my vision is blurring and I can hardly breath, is this how I die? Alone in a basement betrayed by my mate. I faintly hear the basementâs door break âLuna Elizabeth, itâs okay, the beta sent us for youâ is the last thing I hear before the pain takes over me and I go unconscious - âWake up, itâs okay, the pain is goneââWhat do you mean? How?ââI donât know but it just didââWhat the hell is going on?â I hear Derek shouting from across the hall and I open my eyesâANSWER MEâ I hear Derek command and I j
Derek POVâThey are my brothersâ My mate answersâThe guardians are hunters?â Dean asks stunnedâYes, we are the shunned onesâ both guardians answer simultaneously in a very haunting way and i could swear that their grey eyes glowed a little âI thought you said your twin brothers were deadâ I ask narrowing my eyes âĶ she turns to face me again still in my arms, yes, Iâm literally not letting her go again.âno, I said we lost my brothers, never said they were deadâ she says, avoiding my gazeâThe guardians are our Lunaâs brothers, how specialâ one of the pack members says too excited for the situation we are inâIf the guardians are hunters and they are the Lunaâs brothersâĶ does that mean the Luna is a hunter?â another one asksI feel Alexandriaâs hand tighten on my arm, I look at her and she looks like she is about to faintâLetâs get you back to the hospital loveâ I tell her as I pick her up bridal styleâWeâll take herâ guardian âĶ letâs call him guardian 1 saysâWeâll make sure she
Alexandria POVI wake up by the river shore, the beautiful spot where Derek took me before the rejection, waitâĶ the last time something like that happened I saw Luke, am I going to see him again? But this is me and Derekâs special place âĶ or it was meant to be at least, why am I meeting Luke in Derekâs place, or am I meeting Derek? Does that mean Derek isâĶ no, no, thatâs not right, I was the one who got hurtâĶ does this mean that Iâm the dead one?âWell fuck you Moon goddess for giving me everything and just ripping it awayâ I start yelling out loud to the open space hoping the bitch can hear meâYou are a sick asshole, you know that?... tormenting your children as you call them, giving them hope and love then just like thatâĶ it all disappearsâĶ you are a cold fucking bitchâ I keep yellingâYou do have a filthy mouth childâ What the fuck? Who said that? Then a woman appears from âĶ I really donât know, she just appearedHer skin is the color of the midnight sky, her hair is the color of
Derek POVâNooooooâ I fiercely growl and run towards the monster that is my father, I rip him off of my mate and throw him across the room, I hold her tightly and she is barely conscious, what has he done? âHey love âĶ Iâm hereâĶ you are okayâ I tell my mate, but she doesnât respondâLuna?â Dylan says horrified as he drops next to us, Dean Stands in the doorway shocked next to a sobbing Natalia,âYOU ARE A DEAD MANâ I growl as I tighten my grip on Alexandria âYou canât kill me, Iâve marked herâĶyou donât know how that will affect her nowâĶ isnât that beautiful?â the asshole says just sitting on the floor smirking âLet me outââI canât, you will kill himâĶhe is right, we donât know what will that do to AlexandriaââShe is our mateââSheâll always be our mateââI might not be able to kill you now, but sure as hell I can make you sufferâ I snarlâDeanâ I just call his name and he understands what I want to say, âI knowâĶto the special room in the dungeonsâ Dean says as he picks the piece o
Natalia POV It been days since we were sent to the dungeon, I know itâs not that long but the days just seem the same, we survive on only bread and water, but Sean sometimes smuggles us food saying that we need our strength for whatâs coming, I just nod and welcome the extra meals but I have no idea what is he talking about.Today the portions he brought were even bigger, "be ready", is what he said but he didnât say for what, we donât talk about the fight but we mind-link about other stuff including Seanâs suspicious behavior, some of us seem to know what he is talking about but some like me seem to be oblivious, but we all agreed it wasnât something good and that we canât tell anyone about it until we know what it is,I hear my cell door unlock and itâs sandy standing by the door, how the hell did she get out?âHurry up Nat, itâs timeâ Sandy says in a rush, time for what, why canât they give a complete piece of information?I follow her and see that Sean and a couple of the others,
Dylan POVShe is just asleepâĶ she is just resting, she is always sleepy and tired when she is pregnantâĶ she is fine, our pup is fineâĶ everything will be okayâĶ sheâll open her eyes any second nowâĶ its fineâĶ she is just tired.I hear muffled voices but I donât pay attention, nothing is more important than the woman in my arms. I See hands reaching for my mate, they want to take her away from meâNo one will take mateâ Dome letâs out a menacing growl and the hands retract, yes, she is safe with us, no one will hurt her. Someone grabs my face and yells at me, I canât really understand who it is or what they are sayingâĶ Sophia is just asleepâĶ she is just resting, I keep chanting in my headâOur Luna is calling for usâ âWhat?ââGamma, Snap out of itâ I start to register my surroundings, and itâs AlexandriaâLuna?â I ask confused, why is she shouting, doesnât she see that Sophia is asleepâDylanâĶwe have to take Sophia to the hospital nowâ Alexandria says slowly like I donât understand wh
