Chapter 10Rosalie's POV“Help!” I screamed, my voice cracking as I pounded my fists against the iron bars. My throat burned from the force of it, but I didn’t care. “Somebody! Please! She’s dying in here!”No one came.I banged harder, my voice growing hoarse. “Please! Someone!”The guards outside the cell chuckled darkly, like I was nothing but a nuisance. One of them finally barked out, “Shut up! You’re not in charge here!”I felt my chest cave in with frustration, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Melody was dying. They’d done this to her.“Please!” I screamed louder, my hands raw from beating the bars. “Help her! She’s not breathing!”Finally, growing impatient one of the guards stalked over, his boots heavy against the floor. He shoved the key into the lock and swung the door open, eyes narrowed in annoyance.“What’s all this noise?” He stopped mid-sentence as he spotted Melody.His expression shifted, a flicker of surprise breaking through the mask of indifference. He crouched be
Chapter Rosalie's POV I held her gently clueless on where to start with the healing. I placed my palms on one that looked back on her thighs. I closed my eyes, and let my energy flow into her. The girl whimpered, the pain lessening, and after what felt like an eternity, the bleeding finally stopped.When she opened her eyes, she stared in disbelief.“Thank you,” she whispered, her voice hoarse. “That was... cool.”A smile tugged at the corner of my lips despite the weight in my chest. “It’s nothing. I’m just glad I could help.”Her gaze flitted around the cell, her body curling into itself as if to protect what little was left of her. “My name’s Melody.”“Melody,” I repeated softly, committing it to memory. “How long have you been here?”She stared at the wall like it held answers she was too afraid to speak. “I... I don’t know.”Her voice cracked, and my heart twisted. I tried to keep my voice gentle, not to push too hard. “Do you know who brought you here?”She didn't answer clut
Nathan's POV “You are making a mistake,” I told the council members. “Rosalie is innocent-My father’s hand clamped down on my shoulder. “Forgive his outburst.” my father said digging his nails into my collar bone.I winced in pain not saying a word as he wheeled me away from the main room, out of their line of sight but still in the room, behind the half-closed doors that led into the adjoining chamber. “You better don't do something stupid” he said flatly, his hand still on my shoulder.. “You need to learn when to shut your mouth and accept the chance you’ve been given.”If he thought I was scared of him he had another thing coming.“I’m not going to let her take the fall for something she didn’t do,” I said through clenched teeth.For a split second, his jaw twitched then he leaned down, his face inches from mine.“Have you seen your mother lately?” His voice was low, almost a whisper, but the weight behind his words sent a shiver down my spine. “Since the night she went agains
Rosalie “I did it.” The words fell from my lips before I could stop them. “I made Nathan lame”Damien’s gaze snapped to mine, his eyes narrowing as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. At the same time, Nathan’s head jerked toward me.“Rosalie, you don’t have to,” he started, but I cut him off.“I did it,” I said again, louder this time. “I’m the one who manipulated him. I used a spell to keep him here. I—I couldn’t let him leave me.”“She's lying.” Damien insisted. “You’re an omega, Rosalie. You can’t cast a spell, let alone one strong enough to manipulate a Lycan.”“I know what I am,” I said, trying to convince them. “But desperation makes you do strange things. When the Alpha came to me with those divorce papers, I panicked. I thought—I thought if I lost Nathan, I’d be nothing. So I did what I had to do.”Nathan’s fists clenched at his sides, his jaw tightening until the veins popped out.“No,” he growled.“She’s lying. I’m the one who deceived you all. I—”“You would say tha
Chapter 6lRosalie’s POVI froze, my breath caught in my throat, as Damien’s voice rang out.He knew. Damien knew about Nathan’s condition, about the fact that he couldn’t walk. My heart stopped. My stomach clenched so tight it felt like I was about to throw up. This was it. The secret we’d worked so hard to bury was about to come out in the worst possible way.“Go on, Nathan,” Damien insisted. “Walk.”My gaze snapped to Nathan, and the blood drained from his face. His fist clenched by his sides but he couldn't carry out the command.The situation had managed to sober him. This one-night stand turned into a full-blown drama scene.It was all over. And I couldn't help but blame Nathan, everything started when he decided to get intimate with that witch.She had jinxed him and now everyone was going to find out the truth.“What is the meaning of this, Damien? We've been through this. There is nothing that can be done,” Alpha Kincaid interrupted.“If he can walk, there’s no problem, is t
Rosalie's POV The dull muscle ache was the first thing I felt as I stirred. Every joint protested, every muscle tight from yesterday’s training session. I winced as I tried to stretch, a soft groan escaping my lips. Rolling onto my side, I squinted at the early morning light filtering through the curtains. When a persistent beeping dragged me fully awake. I looked around towards the bedside table, and surprisingly, it was my phone.That thing never beeped. That was because I had no social life.I thought it would most likely be a notification but my curiosity got the best of me. I sat up, the covers pooling at my waist as I picked up the device. A single message sat on the screen, and my breath caught in my throat when I saw the sender.Nathan.Why did Nathan feel the need to send me a message? I pulled the phone closer like a teenage girl getting a text from her crush.It was a picture.I tapped it open when the air whooshed from my lungs. I blinked severally hoping it would eras
