(Laurent's POV)I couldn't look her in the eyes; she didn't know that I had come searching for her. When Teo told me she was here too, I knew that I had to find her, but I couldn't even look at her. I couldn't let her deceive me this one more time.Maybe we were never meant to be. The thought alone caused a strange kind of anger to rise in me, and I finished off the vampire. I exited her room, her scent in there was too strong. Finally, I could focus; I knew my next target. Ken.I ran through the hallways, checking through room, to find him. Nothing."I guess I am the one you have been looking for." Slowly, I turned back to see Ken, and a smirk spread on my face."I've always wanted to pass a stake into your heart.""Why? Because I have every right to fuck your mate, or perhaps because she would always be left with a part of me any fucking place she goes.""Maybe you are right, but guess what?" I asked, not even waiting for his answer, "We both won't be getting her.""Not if I kill
(ROLLINS POV)"I want to give you a more honorable death. I'll let you kill yourself," he said, throwing the gun at me. "One shot to the brain, that would do," he said, his face still having that smirk I hated."And what do you know about honor?" I asked, staring at the gun, that wouldn't kill him, I knew it."Nothing. That would have been a better death... but now," his eyes glittered. "Welcome to hell," and then there was darkness. I could not see a single thing, and then Cara came into view, it was like a clip was being replayed before my eyes, a clip from my mind. She walked into Teo's room and let her robe fall to the ground.Teo waited on the bed, watching her, his eyes watching every part of her. I couldn't run from this; it was like I had been trapped by some invisible force in a very dark room.And then I saw Teo again, forcing himself on her. I watched her sob.I inhaled. "Get out of my head," I growled."Not yet," Vlad whispered, and then I was in my pack. The Shadow Pack
(Cara's POV)Teo led me towards the exit; he held the most of my weight, and I limped trying to go faster."Wait!""No, we have to go," he said, tugging me on, but I had stopped moving. I thought I saw something. "That window," I said, pointing to the window we just passed."No, Cara, not now.""Take me back," I said.Teo made an annoyed sound before taking me back. I looked through the window; I knew what I had seen. The 'human' girls ran out of the gate, but there were two vampires running after them. Those two vampires alone would be able to finish them off; how did they escape?"Sophie," I gasped."I'm sorry, Cara, we can't save them.""Yes, we can't, but you can.""Cara, I was given an order; I have failed him enough; please, we need to go.""Face the truth, Teo, I won't be allowed out of here, but they... they are so close to freedom, please. I have done so many wrongs; I want to do this one right thing, please.""Wait here, don't move one bit; you hear me, don't fucking move."
Three days after the war.I wished I could follow Rollins back to our pack; I wished... but I knew that things would never be the same, and so here I was, with Teo. I couldn't deny that I wanted to be with Rollins; every fiber of my being wanted him, but I couldn't have him.Teo walked down the stairs, fully dressed."Are we going somewhere?" I asked"No, not we, me."I shrugged. "Okay, when would you be back? ", He stared at me, giving me that long look. "Are you leaving me?" I asked, and I couldn't hold back the sob."Is not... is not in that way.""I don't understand.""We were never a thing; as much as I wanted it and still do, I know you love someone else, and I've learned some good lessons, we don't always get what we want , I would always love you, but not in that way, not anymore. You love Rollins; you would never settle for less. I want you to go get him.""What if he doesn't want me?""You both were meant for each other; I don't know what the outcome will be, but what I can
(Epilouge, Part One)(ROLLIN'S POV) I walked into my room to see Gwen there. I didn't know how to tell her. Cara had decided that she would stay in one of the guests rooms till it was all over, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to stay here knowing that Cara was just a few rooms away and I had never been the one to get sneaky. Gwen had to know."We need to talk," I said to Gwen. She looked tiny now, too thin, but I still thought she was beautiful."It's about her, right?" she asked."I don't want you to stress yourself.""Let me guess, she is back at the pack, you both are back together, and you guys are waiting for me to die so you could go on with your relationships, right?" She asked, and I was silent. I had never felt this kind of guilt, but she surprised me when she smiled."I knew this was going to happen, but you see, I don't even care about the fact that all that went on between the both of us isn't real; I don't care about any of that. I am happy; you made me happy, and you
Cara POVI didn’t know if Jake forgot that today was our anniversary, probably not, maybe he just wanted to surprise me, but this time I wanted to be the first to prepare something special for him so I had left work far earlier than normal heading home to cook his favourite dish and decorate the house. I and Jake had been in a relationship for four years now and I had this feeling that finally he would propose, I knew that his excuse for the past years was that he wanted to find a good job so we both won’t live in poverty but I didn’t mind working hard to support the family, I’ve already began planning some little business I would do to help out. I had a bright smile on my face when I walked in to the house I shared with Jake. But there was something strange. The door wasn’t locked; I was sure I locked it before I went to work and Jake wasn't to be back home to much later; I walked in but then I saw laying on the floor a female purse; it didn’t belong to me, I picked it up confused,
(Cara POV) “He is a total dick,” Sophia cursed out. “How could he do that to you?” “Maybe I’m not beautiful enough,” I say, shrugging as if that statement didn’t hurt or bother me when it really did. “No, I won’t let you stay here all day crying over him because he sure as hell doesn’t deserve your tears and I know a way to cool you out. Let’s go to a club. You find a man and spend a night with him” I rolled my eyes. Sophia was my friend, but our lifestyles were two words apart. She believed alcohol and sex could cure anything, but I wasn’t in the mood for a party right now let alone meeting with another man. “And how would going to the club and finding a man help me? I don’t need that right now Sophy, I just need to give myself a few hours of sleep and rest” “No Cara, he treated you like garbage, you are doing this to tell yourself that you are far ahead of him, he don’t get to make you a mess why he goes fuck a whore on the bed you two shared, fuck him Cara, now I want you to
(Cara POV) “What the hell Cara?, there better be a very good reason to why you made me miss that night I was day dreaming to have with Ken” Sophia said with an unmistakable edge to her voice, she really was furious that I spoiled the fun for her, I bet she was regretting bringing me over to the club. “So you even remember his name, that means you did like this dude” “Of course, good thing I was able to get his phone number. So tell me you at least got hottie's number to at least” “No, I didn’t... when I was like lap dancing I think he growled” “That’s a good thing.. some do that,” Sophia argued, “It means he likes it” “No, he growled like some kind of animal. He did it the first time and then the second” “Darling, that’s why is not advisable to drink that so much you know, considering that you don’t drink a lot... or at all, but I’m glad you seemed to have forgotten about Jake even if it was for this few hours” “No, I knew what I heard, and he was like ‘mine’. He actually cal
