Christian
I observed Dominic's back as he continued looking out of the window. His posture was rigid and I could feel the rage radiating off him. But he remained silent. His beast was something else. Different from everyone else. He wasn't your ordinary werewolf. Well, neither one of us was since we were royalty, but his was something else. And that is the only reason he keeps him at bay and only lets him come out when things need to be dealt with, in his own way. And his way is definitely not a good way. And he has taught me to follow his footsteps. So, yes, I follow his ways. And man do I enjoy them! Call me sick, but yep, torturing your enemies in the worst possible ways that people could hardly even imagine was pleasing to our sight. We had grown up with it.
But right now, the situation is very grave. I was scared. For Mia. She sided with the enemy. That was my only fucking job. To make her feel enough to kno
Mia I hadn't slept the whole night. I couldn't. Sleep won't come to me. The eye-bags were screaming for themselves, of the the torture I had put my eyes through last night. One look at me and anyone could guess I was fucking depressed, crying my eyes out the previous night. So I did what a girl can do. Concealer. Loads of it. Making my way down to the kitchen to grab myself something to eat. I had to do something to get out of here. I needed to warn Christian that Balthazar was going to attack them. Yes, I had lost my respect for him, he was no longer my dad. My blood boiled all over again thinking of that vile creature. But I had to handle things cleverly. I can't blow up anything yet. Fuck, I had even told Balthazar all the ins and outs, everything I knew about the pack. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Christian. My thoughts ran back to him. He would probably hate me after what I did. Who wouldn't? But could I be blamed? I don't really know. I did betray them. Did the exact thing that my so-c
Mia "Going somewhere?" My breath hitched, my hands halted on the door knob that was going to lead us out of this hell hole before a very similar voice made its way to my ears. Slowly turning back, my eyes fell on Balthazer standing at the end of the living room wearing a smirk, his hands tucked behind him as he looked composed as ever. Behind him stood the leech and, of-fucking-course, the snitch Desmond. Calm down Mia, think! Think quick! "Dad!" I exclaimed, pulling Anastasia before me to lock her throat between my arm and my chest. "This bitch! She was trying to escape. Good thing you are here on time!" I heard Anastasia whimper at the sudden action. But Balthazer looked bored. "You really thought I wouldn't find someone out of their bed in the middle of the night, eavesdropping at my door?" What the- no don't panic, Mia. Don't panic. You've got this! "What are you talking about? Who was that dad? Was it this bitch?" I kicked Anastasia behind her knees, making her drop to t
Mia "Goodness Sylvia!" I heaved out a sigh as she removed the hood to uncover her face. "You almost had me throwing a spell at you," she looked at me with an 'are you serious' look. "I understand why that person is lying unconscious-" "Dead," she cut me off. "Pardon?" "He's lying dead," she clarified and I looked at him. "Oh," she actually killed him? With a dart? "It was laced with poison." She answered my thoughts. "Right, so as I was saying before you interrupted me, I understand why he is dead, but I don't understand why you took me out with the dart at the time of the war?" "Ah, so you did see me." I raised my brow with a 'duh' look on my face. "It was to get you away from the field." "But why?" "You remember the paralyzing potion?" I nodded, remembering the one she prepared to take out the wolves at the time of the war. "Well, it wasn't just a paralyzing potion. It was also mixed with an infestation charm." "A what charm?" Was she for real? "An infestatio
Mia All three men pounced on me with their wands held up. Spell after spell which I dodged before firing my arrows at them. Some got them, some they missed easily. Finally, after running out of arrows, I pulled out my blades. This fight is going to get dirty. But there was just me standing alone, and freaking three full sized wizards. Did I even stand a chance against them? Hell no. But was I going to stop until I gave my all? Of course not. I flung the dagger at one of the men, and he stumbled back in pain as it struck a little above his heart. That gave me enough time to deal with the other two. I lunged forward at them, the blades shining in my hand as I shot the only spell I remember, causing a fireball to hit their hands. As a result, they finally dropped their wands. That was all I needed to get near them and start carving the skins with my blade. I plunged the dagger’s blade in their stomach and was ready to shoot more when I heard a warning. “Behind you Mia!” Anastasia c
Mia I couldn’t bring myself to move my legs, no matter how hard I tried. I spotted the last guy standing over a very bruised Anastasia. Her face was under his booted foot, as he applied great force to torment. She cried in pain as I saw her nose bleeding, her cheeks and lips busted. Fuck! “You bitches are going to regret this!” He took his wand up to finally finish her off, but I couldn’t let it happen just yet. My head felt heavy, black dots appeared in my vision every few seconds. With whatever energy I had left in me, I raised my hand to cast another blazing shot at him, but then something happened. My hand froze in the air. “Enough, you brat!” I heard him shout at me, as he squeezed Anastasia’s face further under his foot. His wand was pointed in my direction as he slowly turned to look at me, not letting go of Anastasia. “Just because you learned to do that, does not mean you have conquered the art of witchcraft just yet, Mia. It takes time and practice,” he mocked. “But most
Mia I slowly opened my eyes, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. The scent of pine and earth enveloped me, instantly familiar. My gaze fell on the black wooden beams above, and the realization hit me— I was in Christian's bed. My body ached, each breath sending a sharp pang through my side. I tried to move, but the pain radiated from my bandaged arm, a constant reminder of the recent encounter. It was wrapped heavily in bandages and the slight stench of blood filled my lungs. The room seemed hazy, my senses still dulled by the remnants of sleep. How long was I even out for? I heard a knock on the door before a familiar head with long brown hair peeked in. “Hi,” Anastasia spoke sheepishly before observing my wounds. “How are you feeling?” “Like I have been run over by a truck. So it's safe to say I've been better.” “I'm sorry,” she looked at her feet. Why was she sorry anyway? If there was someone who was supposed to be sorry, then it was me. She wouldn't hav
Mia A knock was heard on the door, and we broke out of our trance. “Come in,” Christian ordered, before Julia came in, supporting a tray in her hands. “Here you go,” I looked at the scrumptious food that was placed on the side table and my lungs instantly filled with the mouth-watering aroma, making me feel hungry all over again. “I thought you both would be hungry, especially since you've been skipping meals since yesterday,” she gave a pointed look to Christian which made me frown. “Why were you skipping meals?” I quirked up an eyebrow at him. “Trust me, he won't tell you that he was so freaking worried the whole time you were in the pack hospital, he refused to eat anything till you gained consciousness. I thought, since finally you are up, I should get you both something to eat.” I saw Christian glaring at Julia because I'm pretty sure he did not want his sister giving those extra details to his mate, who, not to mention, had not quite accepted him wholeheartedly, yet. “Enjoy,”
Mia I stood staring at the stars, pondering over where life had brought me. Three days had gone by, and I had somewhat started to feel the physical pain fading. But the emotional pain. It was still fresh and raw. Like I was stabbed just seconds ago. Not in the arm. But in my heart. I tried getting over it. I seriously tried! But how can someone just erase their whole life from their minds within seconds? How can someone come to terms with the fact that the only person who he or she was devoted to, the only father, the only family he or she had, was never theirs to call in the first place. It was all a web of lies. All a plan to achieve their personal benefits. I was staying in Christian’s room once again. The only difference was, instead of having another bed in the room, he simply decided to sleep on the couch and let me take the bed. I still wasn't comfortable sharing the bed. I couldn't. I was just so overwhelmed with everything that had happened in the short amount of time. Mor
