Rosalia's POVHe no longer looked like the dead man walking, there he was again with that creepy look that sent a shiver down my spine.Where did he even come from? “You haven’t left my thoughts,” he murmured. “Not since that night at the lab.”I blinked, trying to make sense of what he was insinuating through the bloodthirst.“I helped you that night, why do you want to hurt me?” “Oh you are mistaken darling, I would never hurt you”Somehow I found that hard to believe.“Then what is it? What do you want from me?”“You,” he replied without hesitation. “I want you Rosalia”My pupils dilated, he was crazy. I knew it from the first day we met.“I'm not a thing you can have”“You're more precious than anything in this filthy pack” From the corner of my eyes I saw another man dressed in black walking in our direction.“Klaus move!” I warned, he cocked a brow turning around to the man who just walked away without doing anything.My brows knitted then the realization dawned on me.“You'r
Rosalia's POV An attack? Alpha Kincaid turned his attention towards the guards. Through the blaring of the alarm you could hear the loud footsteps and shouts. “Who dares breach our walls?” Alpha Kincaid inquired, looking irritated.“We are yet to identify what pack they are from, they came in fast we heard no news or warnings”A pulse of rage twisted across Kincaid’s face. “How close are they?”The guard’s jaw clenched. “Already inside the house, the guards on duty are doing their best to minimize the casualties.”My eyes widened. Inside? That meant—“How?” Kincaid’s growl cracked through the corridor. “Explain how enemies step through our borders and manage to make it to our front doors and we had no warning!”“I can't really answer that Alpha, but I’m guessing the defensive lines were weakened. Patrols were stretched thin. We’re outnumbered.”“Word should have been here the moment they got to the borders, all guards on patrol tonight better be dead or they will be severely punis
Rosalia's POVThe pain in my chest was light compared to how it felt when the mate bond tied our souls.I stood outside Nathan’s door, for a heartbeat longer. I just needed to be certain. To be certain I didn't lock them away or it wasn't the numbness of my hybrid powers pushing it back.I searched for it, an invisible string that pulled me towards him, stronger than attraction and infatuation.I couldn’t feel it. These feelings of jealousy weren’t because of the mate bond, they were mine or so I thought.Do you feel anything? I asked my wolf.“I can’t reach his wolf, this is bad Rosalie” she responded.My chest tightened. That wasn’t possible. The bond didn’t vanish. Or could it?Maybe if one hated the other enough it could break the bond.Like I suspected in the beginning, coming here was a mistake. I wanted answers and left with more questions.It didn’t seem to bother him, he looked perfectly okay, now reunited with his first love.So I wasn’t going to worry about it. Que sera s
Rosalia's POVFor every hybrid was an archenemy, their primary objective was to hunt and destroy witch covens.Only a few survived and the others were killed in battle.When the war was won, vamps and wolves returned to their previous grievance banning the mating of one to the other.There was more to read but I believed I had read enough. Somehow I was a hybrid… a female hybrid.There were so many unanswered questions. The pieces of the puzzle I received didn't fit.One thing was for sure, I was pathetic. Typical Rosalia never good at anything.I wasn't a proper werewolf as I couldn't morph to my wolf and now I was a lame hammy down for a vampire.The only other supernatural I could think of was Nathan. He was a lycan. As much as I loathed the thought of facing him again after everything, he was the only one who might understand what was happening to me.After our last clash I didn't trust that decision. This was still new and sensitive to me, I didn't want another person like Daphne
Rosalia's POV“Release her” a councilman ordered. A guard stepped forward and I held out my hand.The cold bite of the chains left faint indentations on my wrists as they finally slid to the floor with a metallic clatter.I wished I could say I was relieved but I was disappointed.Before I could take a full breath, Daphne stepped into my space. “I want to apologize again Rosalia” she muttered before she leaned close and whispered through her clenched teeth. “You’ll always be a freak, Rosalia. We both know the truth. I know what you did. What you are.”My spine locked in place.“You should leave,” she continued, her breath warm and poisonous against my ear. “Before I let the rest of the pack know what you’re hiding. Trust me—you won’t get a pardon.”And just like that, she turned away rubbing at her eyes. Nathan slipped an arm around her like none of it had ever happened then walked out of the room like a couple.She lied to everyone, manipulating them in broad daylight but they turn
Rosalia's POVMy body froze but my eyes swiveled from Brad to the council. He moved towards them, dropping a paper there.One by one they read it, passing it on and muttering.One of them adjusted his spectacles, eyes narrowing at the paper. “Where did you obtain these results, Bradley?”“Well Rosalia was the one who first suspected something was off. She believed the child Daphne claimed to be carrying wasn’t Nathan’s. Quietly, she took a blood sample from Daphne and I did the same with Nathan.”My head turned toward him, my heart beating again. Even though I had earlier accepted my fate, something tugged at my chest.“The results came this morning,” Brad continued, facing the entire hall. “The doctor said the sample from Daphne didn’t contain any signs of HCG, no pregnancy cell.”The council murmured among themselves. Nathan’s jaw ticked slightly, but he still refused to meet my eyes.“I didn’t stop there,” Brad went on. “Something didn’t sit right. So I visited the clinic myself. T
