Armina's perspective:

"Armina!" Tristan's voice yells; I look up; seeing him near the entrance to the cave. My vision barely able to make him out, as I try to fight against the crippling pain. I blink a few times, everything coming into focus. There are large chains locking him down heavily into the stone. "Tristan" I sigh, so happy to see he is still alive. I push myself to focus, noticing the many wolves filling the area.

Only Tristan is chained. The rest are unconscious. "His a stubborn one your mate" Cassandra laughs, "His a piece of shit" Leon growls, kicking him roughly in the ribs. I hear the sickening crack of several of his ribs. "Do you feel tough Leon?" Tristan manages to laugh through the pain, Leon reacts quickly, growling as he kicks him hard in the face. Tristan just laughs again, spitting out blood as he glares at him. "I knew you couldn't be a true Alpha" Tristan chuckles darkly. Leon's body changes; his whole body tense as he bends down to Tristan's face.

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    Barely keeping it together.

    Tristan's perspective: I don't know how much time has passed. The sobs have finally slowed, my breathing heavy as my brain struggles to process the grief. It doesn't feel real. His body is right here, right in front of me. The proof that his gone. But it can't seem to sink in. It's like my brain is too scared to let it process, knowing the grief could drown us.Alpha wolves know they have to face their mortality. We always put ourselves at the front of the war line, doing all we can to protect our pacts. I pictured Nathanial having to deal with my loss one day, I never even considered it to be reversed. I could never have prepared for this kind of pain."I love you brother" I whisper, hoping he can hear me. "I will be kicking your ass up there one day for this" I laugh through my tears. Not a real laugh. One that tries to hide the pain that just somehow keeps growing in my chest. "I can't believe you did this, I was ready brother. I was ready" I

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    Grief.

    Tristan's perspective: This can't be happening. I'm holding onto my brother, his body unmoving. I was ready to go, ready to give my life knowing he was safe. Hearing he did this for me is not a comfort; instead it makes the pain in my chest stronger as I cling onto his lifeless body. Watching him, all I see is the little boy I grew up with. The one who would come to me with bright eyes, always looking to me to guide and protect him. I failed him. I failed my family. I don't want to live in a world where he doesn't exist. I feel everyone lean down beside me. Feel their own love and grief. I can't hold it together, my breathing nothing but deep sobs. There is no way to save him, no way to bring him back. How can I go on without him? Without the other half of who I am. "I'm so sorry Tristan" Mira's voice breaks the silence; everyone else crying silently while I openly sob. "He made me promise" she repeats. I don't answer her. I don't blame her. I know she loved Nathanial, she woul

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    The heartbreak of loss.

    Nathanial's perspective: "I love you" I whisper to Armina, knowing she can hear me. She always hears me. I see her eyes widen, understanding filling them as she starts to shake her head. I can see the fear all over her as I move; running as fast as I can towards Tristan, hoping I'm not too late as I see the life fade from him before my eyes. I throw my body forward, pushing into the power, throwing everything I can into pushing Tristan out of it. His body landing heavily beside me as I try to hold back my screams. The power surrounding me tearing my soul from my body. 'I love you all' I send in the pack link. Armina's perspective: I see his decision, frozen as I watch him run at Tristan. It's like it's happening in slow motion, his legs taking each step heavily. "NOOO" I scream, Aiden grips me heavily from behind holding me back as Mira holds out her arms, whispering words I can't understand as Nathanial enters the magic surrounding Tristan, knocking him heavily to the side as hi

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    A brother's love.

    Nathanial's perspective:I can't breathe, time slows as I watch her hand move. My broken body attempting to move, knowing there is no way I am going to be able to reach her in time to save her. Armina can see it, fear crossing her eyes for the first time; I try to scream, just as Shayne appears behind Serena, a large knife thrusting into her chest from behind as he pulls her back against it. "No one hurts my daughter" he growls, his hands moving quickly as he snaps her neck in the next movement. Serena's body goes limp, Shayne doesn't stop, taking the knife from her chest and stabbing it into her throat, pulling hard and removing her head clear from her body; throwing it to the ground with a growl. The moment Serena's body hits the ground, Calipsi groans in pain, "NOOO!" She screams; looking to her daughter in pieces on the ground."YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT" she screams; but the distraction costs her, Mira pushes her power forward, knocking Ca

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    The heat of battle.

    Nathanial's perspective: "What do you mean Mira?" I demand, it can't end this way. "She has fully accessed the site, the spell has already been started. If we even tried to get close enough to remove Tristan it would incinerate anyone within a metre" her whole body makes it clear she's serious. She's given up. "NO" I growl. His not going down like this. My legs start moving, uncaring of what happens to me. I basically bolt towards Tristan, my goal the only think keeping me going. Save my brother. I barely notice I'm being followed. Each one of the fools following me into what I see as certain death. We make it quickly, each one of us barely able to take in the scene in front of us. Tristan stands in the middle of the light ripping apart the sky. His whole body suspended in the air as she drains him, "VENI AD ME" Calapsi is screaming, the power surrounding her in waves. "VENI AD ME" Leon and Serena stand close to her, both of them looking almost pained. "What do we do?" I beg Mira

  • Conflicted - Twist of Fate.    The enemy of time.

    Armina's perspective:I don't even get the chance to argue, to fight for the man I knew would make a dumb ass choice exactly like this. Instead, I find myself outside the pack house. The world passing in a blur as I stand lost, holding my beautiful pups. "ARMINA!" I turn to find a puffed out Layla running towards me. "What the hell has been happening I haven't been able to reach any of you?! I've been so.." she trails off as she sees the twins in my arms. "Thank the goddess, they're safe?" She looks up at me confused as I try to hold back tears. "They are for now, but Tristan, Nathanial and the others, they're not" my chest heavy as my brain races trying to think of my next move. "I need you to watch them" I say the words before my brain has even fully processed them. "Please, I need to save Tristan his" She's already taking them out of my arms. "Sacrificing himself?" Her voice both concerned and frustrated at the same time. "You knew he was.." "Different?" She nods. "Tristan has an
