Bellatrix Sinclair

Panic clawed at my throat, my lungs burning from deprivation. The expansive room coloured pitch-black and slowly closing in. Lifting my head and catching a glimpse of a portrait on the roof that appeared to be of 18th century that depicted bloodshed between wolves and humans. The wide mouth of a black wolf, his fangs bloody as he tore a chunk of flesh from a human. This couldn’t be considered art; it was a slaughter, and it was terrifying.

Glancing at the floor constructed of mirrored tiles and faced with my reflection of trepidation. Everything was black, from the rectangular table covered in dried blood to the gigantic X against the wall, shackles on each four posts.

There was no escape, every direction reminded me of the impending torture I was about to face. A lump formed in my throat, I should be strong, but I couldn’t control the anxiety wreaking havoc upon my insides.

His guards removed the handcuffs, my shoulders aching from being pulled. Honestly, why am I

She was transcendent at my mercy.“W-what, I have no connection with them.”Pressing her cheeks tightly together, puckering her pillowed lips. “Why else would you make those weapons if it wasn’t for them.” I mused.The nipple clams tighten with each sharp intake. “I-I” She stutters, “No.”Bellatrix’s skin glistened from the sweat but it’s nothing compared to her drenched pussy, her arousal perfuming the air like cherries dipped in wine. I’m a man of control, but this exquisite porcelain doll was testing that strength.Maddox salivated for her, something that has never happened before. “Fuck.” He hissed.Snow-white skin tainted by red lashes that welted, she was keening with pleasure and eager for the pain.

This time, he sips on his coffee while reading on his tablet.We were alone, the new head maid ordered to leave once I laid out the dishes. I can feel his gaze searing through the fabric and branding my skin like he did last night. There must be something wrong with me to like what he did to me.An exquisite blend of pain and pleasure, an addiction that burned through my veins like lava.“Bellatrix.” He calls in that deep, sultry voice as he rose from the chair.Swallowing the desire that threatens to ruin me, focusing on the way I loathed serving him. “Yes, my King.”Lazarus towered over me, darkness exuding from his pores and electrifying my senses. He backs me against the table, hands settling on either side and caging me in. Mischief danced within his blackened orbs, fingers curling around my th

Karina is a treasure, so sweet and kind that I don’t think I’ve even met humans with her empathy and compassion.Karina glides through the room, not drawing too much attention and yet I could see the envious glances. It’s only been a week since her appointment and already disgusting rumours have been spread about her.She wasn’t fazed, she was used to it and that only solidified her truth. That Omega’s were treated different in their society, outcasted like humans.“I would like your assistance Bellatrix, please follow me.” Karina says, keenly aware of the eyes that follow us.“Yes Miss.” Tipping my head forward and following her lead.We leave the drawing room and ventured to the east wing, known as the entertainment. Karina halted in the hallway, scanning her surroundings before waving a hand. We t

    Bellatrix SinclairI’m dusting the books in the library when Lazarus enters, “I have a surprise for you.” he announces.Glancing at him over my shoulder, giving him a dry look. “That usually isn’t a good thing.”Lazarus rolls his eyes, “Karina will help you, be ready in one hour.”“Where are we going?” Arching a brow at him suspiciously, “If you’re going to kill me, no need to dress me up for the slaughter.” I explained.Lazarus exhaled, annoyed. “Just be ready, no excuses.”“Not like I have a choice.”My heart quickened as he made his way toward me. It had to be the sex clouding my judgement, but it’s also Karina’s words of his true position of power. I’m torn on where to direct my anger; I’m wavering in my hatred towards him.He towers over me, and we lock eyes. I can never understand him especially when he fingers trace the collar on my neck. “For one night.” He uttered, removing the collar.A cool breeze brushed against my naked throat, there was never a physical weight to it, but

However, she was adamant on fighting me at every turn and loathing my kind.She couldn’t escape my iron grip, not even when I forced her into the limo. Punching the button for the screen to separate us, her heart thundered ferociously while her gaze burned brightly with disdain.“I hate you.” She spat.My heart hammered painfully in my chest, rage pumping viciously in my veins as every muscle tensed in aggravation. Curling my fingers around her slender throat, feeling her rapid pulse against my thumb while her cheeks flushed. “The feeling is mutual.” I snarled in a lie.She was infuriatingly and stubborn. I don’t understand her anger, I don’t understand her resentment – it seemed irrational. Bellatrix’s temper continued to rise, directing her fury upon me when all I’ve done is try to keep humans safe.Wh

I hated that he saw my weakness. Regardless that he stopped when he saw my tears, I didn’t want to be around him.Sitting another hour in his presence was suffocating and one we arrived at the palace; I wanted to escape him. Except, I awaited him to go back on his word, anticipating the collar. Dread seeped into my stomach, bile arising in my throat.He was the Werewolf King; he can take what he wants from me because I’m his slave.Releasing a shaky breath, my mind racing and unconsciously I spit out, “If you are going to put the collar on me, just do it already.”Lazarus halts, shifting around to face me. His brows lowered, “I told you I wouldn’t.” He reiterated. “Why –““King Lazarus.” Christian interrupted, “I have something to discuss with you.”Lazarus exhaled, shutting his eyes for a brief seco

When it came to breakfast, he preferred scrambled eggs with diced onion and chillies, crispy bacon, fruit salad without any pears and lastly a sweet dessert. This time I opted for waffles topped with two scoops of vanilla ice cream drizzled in chocolate sauce.Lazarus arched a brow, scepticism written all over his face. “Here you go Master.” I smiled, pouring black coffee into his mug and serving him a bit of everything on his plate.“Where’s the malice Ma Cherie?” he smirks, “I always expect my food to be served with a side of your bitterness.” He teased, sipping on his coffee.Rolling my eyes, pressing the fork into the eggs and lifting it to his lips. “I’m trying to be nice, why must you ruin it.”He chuckles, “Because you detest being nice to me.”“Maybe.”Lazarus slips the fork from my fingers, his lips

It’s only natural since I have no idea where we are going.” I responded, inserting a sliver of truth but unwilling to share more details.He chuckled, the sound airy and breezy. “That’s understandable considering what you have been through with that monstrous creature.”I pressed my lips tightly together, biting my tongue to suppress the rebuttal. His tone woven with disdain when speaking of wolves, I could relate in the past, but everything changed. I’d be detesting myself and Melody didn’t deserve that hatred when she saved me from Thomas.Swallowing the painful e

My voice barely above a whisper, getting lost in the chaos. “What do you mean?”Bjorn leveled me with a cold stare, a sharp blade that cut through space. “Your father created the resistance; he fought for a cause and was killed for it. You want to defend these monsters, but the worst is standing next to you.”I slowly turned my head stiffly, peering into his eyes for the truth. “Is this true?”Lazarus’s jaw tensed, a storm brewing in his eyes, clashing of rage and a heavy heart. “Are you really going to listen to him?” He snapped. “The resistance has taken lives, long before today.”“That’s not what I asked.” I snarled, clenching my teeth. “Did you kill my father?”His breathing accelerated and my heart hammered against my ribcage. Lazarus’s lips thinned, eyebrows knotting tightly together. “I.....I will do anything to protect my people.” He declared steely. “I will do anythin

I barely managed to open my eyes, distorted vision that slowly seeped into chaos.My eyes stretched wide-open, shock tearing through me as I watched the explosion of madness. Pushing onto my knees, fire igniting in my joints and searing my muscles. Only moments ago, I was being crowned Luna. The joy and uncertainty of the future was obliterated, crumbling into complete ruins before my eyes.An excruciating burn tore through my lungs, crushing my chest with every breath. “Lila.....Lazarus.” I rasped, searching for them upon the broken stage but I couldn’t find them past the rubble.The menacing roars from the wolves reached my ears, drawing my attention to the perpetrators. They were covered in black from top to bottom, exposing only their eyes devoid of humanity. There was

Lazarus and Donovan were seated next to each other, calm and composed, as if yesterday didn’t happen. Animosity brimming to the surface, only visible to the ones who knew the truth.My chest tightened, agony bleeding from the heart strings that tied us together. No one would guess that he confessed his pain last night, the betrayal of his family became an infected wound that would never heal.Suddenly, those pitch-black orbs locked on mine. “I can feel you worrying, Ma Cherie.” His silvery voice teased. “Focus on yourself, the voting is drawing to a close in a few minutes.”Flashing him a blank stare as I frowned. “Are you okay?

Lazarus was being consumed by a blackhole of desolation, falling deeper into the abyss until nothing remained but pure rage. None of us knew his wraith, however I suspected it would be a catastrophe for everyone.He disappeared after The Syndicate dismissed him, usually he would have scolded me for breaking the rules. Except, he instructed Christian to escort me back to the palace for the participants.

    Bellatrix Sinclair“Clearly he underestimated my abilities.” Melody glowered, expressing her disbelief. “It will take alot more to knock us out.”Her voice became distorted by the splitting headache, another side-effect of the sleeping drug that added to the density of my body. “This feels weird.” I grumbled under my breath.I should be freaking out by such foreign sensations of her voice creeping into my mind, yet it strangely felt right. Melody spoke softly, appeasing the hesitation in my soul from this revelation. “You will get used to it eventually. If you find it too intrusive, envision a wall separating us and you won’t be able to hear my voice.”She was providing comfort, trying to ease my acceptance that I was no longer human. I don’t think I’ve fully comprehended that I’m a werewolf, especially one in the prophecy – which I didn’t believe but Lazarus seemed adamant.Christian flicked his gaze to the rearview mirror, a mirage of emotions filtering through his orbs before his f

    Lazarus De LoughreyThe Syndicate resided in a castle, atop the mountains that gave the illusion it floated in the sky. It was secluded from the rest of the Kingdom’s, stationed on a vast piece of land without a soul in sight. Although I knew this place wasn’t truly their home, that information was strictly confidential.Now it made sense that whenever I tried to figure out the identities of the other Elder’s - I came to a dead end and that was due to Donovan’s interference.Bellatrix’s curled her fingers into my jacket, bunching the material in a tight grip. She can barely manage to lift her head, shallow pants slipping from her lips. “Lazarus.....what did you do?”I raised her chin, a magnetic collision of those crystalized blues, lids drooping as she fought the drug. “It’s for your own good.” I said, softly.“I’m supposed....to....help.” Her voice faded as she slumped against me.Carefully maneuvering her back to the leather seat, I adjusted the dosage of the sleeping drug to ensur

Not that I blame him, this was a huge betrayal from the only family he had left.Lazarus lifts his gaze to meet mine, arching an eyebrow. “What exactly do you think I am up to?”I sighed, exasperated. “You called for Judah and Valeria. It’s quite obvious that you are planning on confronting your uncle.”“Quite perceptive.” He mused with a smirk.I sucked in a sharp breath, unease curdling in my stomach. “Are you going to tell them about the prophecy and my wolf?”His stare is cryptic, like h

An invisible force propelled me forward, the further I got – I realized we weren’t entirely alone.This wolf blended with the night, unnoticeable unless you were close. Much bigger in contrast to her, softness in those pitch-black orbs as they focused on her. There was something familiar about this dark wolf, nudging his head gently against hers affectionately.His gaze lifted to mine with equal tenderness. “Finally, you’re awake.”My brows drew together in confusion, “Do you know me?”I’m not sure how I can interpret his expression, clouded by desolation. “You will know me now, because of her.”There was something beautiful about them unlike others I’ve encountered, gleaming with adoration.“Who is she?” I asked curiously, flicking my gaze to our surroundings, “Where are we?”“The answers you seek, he wi
