In less than a week, I had gone unconscious twice already but this time, I wished my eyes didn’t open, I would be better off dead.
It was unfortunate that we never get what we wished for because my eyes opened slowly to meet a pair of icy blue ones staring back at me… I wanted to claw them out.Instead, I stared back at Alpha Damon, my eyes taking him in, all of him. He hadn't changed much from the last time I’d seen him which was when he had put a torch to my Mother’s body, I could see through him, all of the cruelty that could exist within a man but it was unfortunate, that he had met someone who had a thousand fold more of it than him… I was going to be the death of him, it was just time now.With my eyes still fixed on him, I made a silent promise to my mother’s ashes.“Who are you?” He asked taking a step back, folding his hands across his chest.I stared at him and said nothing. I could feel the pull between us, stronger than anything I’d ever felt and I could feel my wolf’s restlessness, she wanted to be close to him and it disgusted me. How could I be betrayed so much? This was the height of cruelty!My eyes met his once again, I hated him, with every single fiber of my being… He was the most loathsome person ever and he was my mate.Harsh laughter escaped me before I could stop it sending one of his brows to lift questioningly.“You are not crazy now, are you?” He asked.“Crazy?” Oh, I certainly was going crazy, I have been the minute my eyes set upon him and I was going to show him how much I was.“You!” I spat attempting to stand up from the large bed I’d been placed in, it was his. I scrambled up from it as soon as I figured that out and even though my head was hurting terribly from the sudden movement and it made me extremely dizzy, I’d rather be anywhere than on his bed, no! I’d rather be anywhere than in the same room as him.“Be careful there,” He said.I sent him a sharp glare before attempting to make my way past him, if I didn’t get out of here now, I was going to kill someone and despite how strong the hunger in me to strike him dead was, how much I wanted to place my hand on him and watch him suffer in pain, the life strangling as it passed through, the urge to slowly but painfully pull out all of the life from him, but it wasn’t time yet and he didn’t deserve to die… Not until I said so.His hand shot forward grabbing a hold of my arm as I walked passed him, the touch sending a cold shiver down my spine and sending my whole thoughts into a frenzy, I felt myself go weak in the knees. Fucking hell!!I pulled back immediately. “Do not touch me!” I said enunciating every single word.“I would damn well do as I please.” He replied mirroring my tone.We stood there staring at each other wordlessly, oh but I had so much to say, and so much to do.“You don’t think I’m going to allow you to walk into my home and walk out just like that huh?”He asked taking an intimidating step towards me, he was tall, much taller than me, his well-built body towering over the small frame I occupied, and his eyes set on me in a way that threatened to strip me of all my worth.If I had been Alena, the werewolf I would have been scared, taken a step back, and cowered but I was Eliana, the sorceress and no werewolf born of another werewolf had the ability to elicit anything from me other than hate, profound soul-imbedded hatred.I stared back at him fiercely. “I have the right to do as I choose, and not even you...” I spat the last word with all the disgust I could mutter. “... Of all people can stop me.”The corner of his lips lifted up in a half attempt at smile that brought my attention to them, full and curved in a way that promised capabilities that would kill any other woman, but not me… Oh for the love of hell, certainly not me!“We’ll see about that,” My wolf’s voice rang in my head more as a threat than anything else. I wanted to tear apart my own hair and fling myself out the window, the moon Goddess’s humor was just epic, to say the least. I hope to get my hands on the Werewolf’s god, she had a lot of talking to do and I was going to make her.“Really?” Alpha Damon asked, taking a step closer to me that had me taking mine backward until my back hit the wall. Was this bastard trying to penetrate through me?One of his hands gripped mine pining it by my side and the other trailed from my collarbone up my neck, my chest tightened and my stomach sank.His face came close to mine causing my breath to hitch in my throat until he rested it on the crook of my neck taking a sniff.When he spoke, I felt his warm breath on my ear causing goosebumps on my arm. Was it really true all they said about the mate effect? Because I was feeling things that were foreign to me and I hated it, I detested all of it.“You belong to the Dark Moon pack, and I am your Alpha, pretty sure that gives me the right to tell you what to do.”His hand grabbed at my chin forcing me to look at him, our eyes on the same level - his against mine.“And all praises be to the Moon Goddess .” He said chuckling, a humorless laughter. “You are my mate, mine to be bounded by forever!”And without warning, his lips captured mine in a wickedly sensual kiss that sent heat burning through every single inch of my skin.You're not dead." I said harshly This was my fault. Why did it take me so long before making a move? Why had I allowed David and Valinne to use me for so long before I got half the mind to escape? I was so disgusted by myself.If anything happened to him, it was because of me."Alena," He muttered."Yes, yes," I nodded. "I'm here and you're fine now. I promise I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry, I was stupid."His eyes opened a little and he stared at me.A small smile curled up his lips. "I've missed you." He said and I felt my heart still.I loved him.I loved him more than I could ever love anyone else.He was the ultimate love of my life and I couldn't believe I'd spent so much time hating him instead of truly loving him. I wasted a lot of time being angry at him but I was going to compensate for that.I was going to love him for the rest of my life I let go of him and climbed the slab on the floor to help me reach where his hands were chained. I inserted the key in the lock and unlocked
My eyes moved from the cell Alex was held in to the one opposite and I was shocked to see Adrianne. I had completely forgotten about the existence of these two people."What are you doing here?" Alex asked."Where is Damon?" I asked him in a frantic tone.He stared back at me with surprise. "Damon? Is he here?"I felt my eyes roll all the way back to my head and I wanted to leave him and continue with my search because I didn't have half the time to be standing around and chatting but I thought if there was anything, Alex would probably help find Damon.Especially now that it was proven that not he but David was the traitor. I wanted to feel sorry for accusing him wrongly and jumping to conclusions but I really was too exhausted to be bothered with such feelings so instead, I brought out the key I had stolen from the dungeon earlier during our squabble. It seemed like only one key unlocked all the locks of the cell rooms. I inserted the key into the lock and twisted it open."Hey!" Ad
I was taking a risk and it was one that might cause both I and Damon's life but it was all I could do. It was my last resort.My eyes shut, I tried my best to remember all I could about the convenience store, the shelves, the paint, the smell of it.My brain fought against the strain but I kept on with it, harder with each passing second until finally, I felt the air change, and when my eyes came open I was in the convenience store, I hoped.It was dark, so dark and cold I shivered from it despite the sweater I was wearing.I hoped with everything in me that I wasn't going to regret this, if my plans didn't work then it was over for Damon and me.I had guessed and I prayed it was correct that Damon was being held in the underground dungeons. It was the only place I could think of that he was being held in and it was like why David had refused to take me to see him.Although during my time there, I hadn't heard anything to indicate we were in the same building but something still convi
Alex watched the woman in the cell opposite him. It was what he had done for the past months they'd been locked together. He had only watched her with complete silence even though she tried to get him to talk, there was nothing for him to say to her.How stupid could he have been? Had he been so desperate for love, he had fallen madly for the first woman to give him attention and it didn't help that she looked like that. He had for so long been insecure about himself because of his scars and why wouldn't he be? Not after his true mate had rejected him.He still had the image of her in his mind - her long, thick blonde hair that cascaded down her back, almost reaching her waist, of her perfect skin and blue, bright eyes. She was an Alpha daughter and was his mate, his mate who had been horrified at the sight of him.It was why when Adrianne had given him attention, he had been taken by it, taken by her, and here they both were - he had just been a pawn in her game.It was his fault fo
He glared at me from where he was seated opposite me.“I won't do any more of your bidding if I don't see Damon and be convinced enough he is still alive.”Valinne chuckled. “Aren’t you just the cutest, Eliana?”“That is impossible, he is alive and that is all there is to that. You will not see him!”Was he truly dead? Fear gripped me.“Why won't you allow me to see him? If truly he is alive, it wouldn't be a problem for you, would it? The only reason I can think of…”David cut me off impatiently, “he is alive, I have no reason to kill him, not until you give me one, and right now, you really are.”“I want to see him!” I insisted. Why won't they allow me to see him if he was alive as they claimed and deep down, I knew he was but why were they being so insistent on me not seeing him? I hated the goosebumps the feeling of something being terribly wrong caused.“You shall not! Jeremiah!”“Shut up!” I growled and immediately everything around us rattled, the mugs on the table, the books b
“Get up!” Jeremiah said, opening the door and yelling at me from outside. I ignored him until he had to fill his big frame into the room and pull me, and himself out of it.He was panting slightly as he led me down the stairs and my lips widened into a smile at his discomfort.Today, I was led outdoors where a group of vampires was bound and lined up and the pack members were standing around and watching, the segregation between the werewolves and vampires remained. I let out a groan at the sight; how many prisoners does David need to punish?I stared at my feet this time as David spoke, willing for the time to move faster while still knowing that I was going to have a repeat of the days ago event.“These vampires bound today are those of us who have broken the important rule for the cohabitation of the two species. Blood feeding should only be done with wild animals, members of other packs, and rogues. My vision for this merger is to help the Dark Moon pack achieve what no other pack
