Heart of blood and roses

Some people can travel the depths of the ocean for their loved ones, I was standing in a foreign land surrounded by people I knew nothing about. Taking a sharp breath in, I tried to find the man I was destined to love and spend my entire life with, but all I could see was the back of his head. His chocolate brown hair had some dark streaks between them, they were shorter than the last time I had seen him which was three days ago. The day he found out I was his destined soul mate. The day which would normally be the happiest day in the life of any werewolf.....except mine.Three days...it was the time I spent laying wide awake at night just thinking about him. Dreaming with my eyes wide open about his deep grey eyes guarded by thick long eyelashes, the angular scar running down from the top of his left bushy brow. Werewolves heal faster than humans, especially alphas....the scar must had a wild story behind it...a story I might never be able to hear from him.I stood at my place not d

It's been 24 hours since I stepped into my flawless prison. For anyone else, it would be a dream come true....finding your true soulmate, living with him in his pack but it was not my story. My soulmate would not glance in my direction, he would not step inside the room if he felt my presence. He would rather share his time with his future luna, I never thought I would envy someone I had never met. Bernadette tried her best to spend time with me, she tried to make me talk about anything but I was not ready to open my heart to anyone again. It was not needed, I was just a guest here who would leave in a matter of days. I stared at the dark screen of my phone, it was useless. I was pretending everything was fine in front of Eleanor. She did not need anything else on her plate right now, being a Queen was already taking a lot out of her. Slowly, I closed my eyes letting sleep overtake my senses as I slept alone on the cold bed. I stood bare feet on barren land, my feet touched the h

The dark screen of the phone stared back at me, the constant silence inside the room was a constant reminder of my loneliness....I could never be a part of this pack. I bit the inside of my cheeks as I tried calling Eleanor once again. "Hi...I am so sorry I could not answer earlier," this time Eleanor's voice came from the other side, instantly bringing a smile to my face. "What's happening in the palace?" "Well, let's see. Everything is almost a mess. We still have to get married and as the date is approaching my stress is increasing too and don't get me started about Mr. King of the werewolves, he is always busy." I did not have the heart to stop El and tell her anything about my problems when she had all of those troubles. "You will be fine, just remember how much you both love each other," I smiled, "this time will pass, he needs to take care of his people as well." I heard some shuffling from Eleanor's side, I assumed she must be doing something else too. I cleared my thr

I kept sitting in the room wondering about what had happened. Alpha Orion talked to me. But why? Did he notice my absence?The thought brought a small smile to my lips. Was there finally some hope? The dinner was sent to the room by Alpha Orion. I finished everything without thinking about anything else for the first time in days. The dinner had everything, it was organized unlike the plate Bernadette had prepared for me earlier. I started chewing the brownie slowly, my thoughts wandered around the place I went to earlier. There was something about the place which I could not explain, there was a unique feeling. I felt drawn to that forest...and the girl. Flora.Who was she?I never got the chance to ask her anything else, what was she doing there all by herself? She was not scared of being there alone. Wolves were known to live in the lap of nature but the forest was not for everyone. I drank some water and inhaled a deep breath. A knock on the door startled me, I glanced at

"Hey, where were you?"I stretched my lips to give a wide smile. I did not bother trying to make it look real this time, "Just looking at the wedding preparations of Alpha Orion."Bernadette opened her mouth but closed it shut again instantly."So, when is the big day? Am I invited?" I did not hide the sour tone."Ruhee.." it was the first time I had seen Bernadette speechless. Maybe it was the first time as well when she saw me say something like this. "This is not what you think."I shook my head and moved away from her. All I wanted was to grab my phone and call Eleanor... to tell her everything, I just wanted to get away from the place where I was nothing but a burden...where I was nothing for my soulmate. "I think I know everything now, you are just trying to cover up everything your alpha is doing. I understand this is your duty...I accepted my fate a long time ago, I know Alpha Orion does not want me.""Are you crazy?" Bernadette's eyes grew wide hearing this, "this was decid
