“Don’t worry about Aria.” He spoke in a gentle tone. “We have plenty of time before we need to think about kids. Let’s just enjoy tonight and worry about all of that later.” His breath was coming out in frosty puffs now. “I can’t do it,” Vanessa said. “Can’t do what?” She finally turned from the window to look at him. “I can’t have kids with you. I can’t do it. I won’t do it.” Nick looked stunned. “Why are you saying this?” Tears streamed down Vanessa’s cheeks. “Do you think I want to have little monsters? To bring them into this world?” “Monsters?” echoed Nick , his jaw tensing. “Yes, monsters! What do you think would happen if we have kids?” Nick was quiet. His eyes burned into hers. “I didn’t realize having lycan children would be so unappealing to you.” Vanessa stared at him, his words catching her off guard. “I guess lycans are good enough to save you, train you, and fuck you. God forbid you have a lycan ‘monster’ child of your own.” There was so much venom in his tone
Vanessa felt so helpless up here. She understood their reasoning, but still wanted to do more. For now she would have to wait, pray, and hope everyone was safe down below. T he lycans worked efficiently. They had been able to assemble their teams and lock down the complex within half an hour. It was a reminder to Nick of why they trained so hard and how important it was to do so. After securing the inside perimeter, they went outdoors. The scene that met the lycan teams looked like something out of a horror film. The second Nick exited the complex his senses were assaulted by the smell of blood and decaying flesh. The victims were scattered all around the property. The first girl he saw was a small, young brunette. She had long dark hair and large blue eyes that stared up at him accusingly. Her body was so badly mangled that he couldn’t have guessed the original color of clothes she was currently wearing. Deep crimson covered her broken form. The lifeless woman lay at an unnatural an
“Aria!” Vanessa yelled. Where had they gone? Where had he taken her? Magic flooded her veins. Without another thought, she hurled a wave of ice toward the disgusting bald man. It hit him with such force that his body flew up and straight through one of the glass walls that made up the complex’s entryway. He hit the stone steps outside with an audible crash and did not move again. As Vanessa turned her gaze she caught sight of Nick . His eyes met with hers and she opened her mouth to speak. Before she could warn him, the air around them crackled. An army of Collectors appeared. A large group surrounded the outer lobby while a small group appeared within the lobby itself. Fear struck Vanessa so strongly she could barely think. The lycans reacted in an instant. Some chose to shift into their wolves, while others remained in human form and used the weapons they had in hand. Leah dove at the Collector nearest to Vanessa, shifting into her lean black wolf in midair. The man screeched as s
The other lycans began to pay attention, calling out to her. She coated fur in ice, and slid frozen weapons in the direction of any lycan in human form who could wield one. The high body temperature of the lycans meant they quickly burned through their frosty axes and swords. Vanessa was working overtime. She began to feel drained and depleted. Her arms were heavy and her body began to feel cold within. Nick ’s wolf watched her intently. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking. He darted away and into the entrance of the complex, and just as Vanessa was beginning to think she had used up her powers completely, a wave of warmth and energy surged through her. She turned to see Laurie, her blonde brow furrowed in deep concentration. She gave Vanessa a small smile and nod. Lance’s wolf circled Laurie protectively. He did not look one bit happy about this arrangement. Nick returned to Vanessa’s side, ready for another round of ice. She called upon her powers and this time they returned. T
Endless torture I try to open my eyes but it's all blurry and my head feels heavy and am in a lot of pain. My hands and legs are being restrained by men i can't clearly see. And then there's the Alpha Marcus who i can barely see but i can hear his voice. I try to open my eyes again, but the pain is too much. I try one last time to call my wolf Eden but she is nowhere, whatever drugs they gave me worked perfectly. Earlier on i tried to resist getting in the car with them, so they injected with something that made me weak, made my wolf weak and less aggressive. Eden please help me, please. I try but nothing, am on my own. “Her mother said she is still a virgin.”Alpha Marcus said laughing, as his friends, the men holding me laughed loudly. “She looks like a good sport. She has the perfect body for you.” one of them said. Tears crawled down my face wishing my mother was still alive to save me. My mother died when i was six years old, my father remarried. Everything after that cha
Continuous Torture. “No, i…. I...i don't want to die.” i managed to say, still struggling to catch my breath. “Good, because i only grant death to people who don't want to live anymore.” he said grabbing my neck. “Alpha Marcus, she is here. Ella is here?” I didn't recognize the voice but he immediately let go of his grip on my neck. Any minute longer and i think i would have died.He walked towards the strange man standing at the door, the room was full of tension now. Who was Ella and what was she here for? They both stepped outside and he shouted from the doorway. “You better be in your best behavior when i come back or you are going to join your mother.”Painful tears stung my eyes, every time he mentioned my mother i wished she had lived long enough to protect me.******I was woken up by a bucket of ice cold water being poured all over me. I now had on just a slip dress and it was soaking wet and clinging to my body.“Who do you think you are sleeping until noon you little sl
Vanessa. Splash! A bucket of ice cold water came down my face unexpectedly bringing me back to reality and out of my slumber. “Rise and shine beautiful!” Ella's sharp voice said as i tried to open my eyes. I gasped at the discomfort and the cold water now all over my tiny piece of clothing,as the cold water trickled down my body. I tried catch my breath, but i didn't have enough time before the second bucket or water came into harsh contact with my face. “Are you awake now or should i bring a third bucket just to be sure?”Ella laughed sarcastically as i tried to cough out the water that was in my nose and mouth. I greedily tried to gasp for air but my lunfs were exhausted from the quock breaths i was trying to take which caused me to cough violently causing my body to shake and causing the ropes restraining me to cruelly bite more into my skin. After a few minutes i finally managed to calm down and slowly looked up at the woman who was torturing me because her boyfriend was spend
Vanessa. I woke up to the sound of chirping birds, a warm breeze, and a bright sun. I found myself sitting in a Pavillion, staring out onto a large grassy field, covered by a carpet. Butterflies and bees danced about, squirrels chattering amd birds flew from tree to tree. Where am i? I questioned myself in my mind, the last time i checked i was bleeding to death. Oh no! I was bleeding to death. Not possible, am i dead?! I can't be dead, i thought to myself before a voice startled me. “I thought you were stronger than that Nessa, so where is the fighter?” the question startled me as i tried to open my heavy eyelids and look around. That voice was too familiar or maybe i was really dead if i am hallucinating now. Then i saw her, my mother. She was sitted a few feet away from my bed sipping on her tea.. “Whaaa…” is all i could master to say. My mother died when i was ten, so how is it possible that she is here with me in my hospital room drinking tea. “I didn't raise you to b
