Deamian leaned back in his chair and glanced at the list we'd made. Yes... We made a list people; we were that organised.
"So, you want Henry to make sure that the pack knows self-defence, even the normal pack members?" I repeated.
He nodded and said, "It's the only way to make sure that everyone is safe and sound. That and it will increase the number of members of the pack who can keep guard around the pack." He said.
"Oh, right. So, do you know how these rogues plan on stealing the Moon Flower?" I asked.
He nodded, "They can just kidnap one of the three of us that knows where it is and force us to take them there, or they could blackmail us into letting them in. That's why no one in your pack should know. Especially not Carina. Important people could be used against you."
Was this a good time to tell him I had a
ROSEHis lips were soft and gentle as they moved against my own and his fingers gently held my chin in place. I, however, just sat there... Frozen. I didn't want to move, I couldn't... But then the memories of our first kiss- a nerdy pigtailed girl kissing a braced boy in glasses- flooded my mind and I swear I was acting on that girl's behalf. I slowly started to kiss him back and I don't know how exactly but somewhere between our lip locking, Deamian got up and pushed me against the wall causing a loud thud. His hands made their way to my waist as his kisses become more desperate and hurried. I had to say that I was finding it difficult to function and I was kissing him back with just as much passion as he was kissing me. His lips felt so perfect and amazing against mine and his hands which wrapped gently around me were making my brain all fuzzy. Deamian's kisses then moved to the side of my mouth and down to my jaw making me squirm in plea
ROSEHe stood there, arms folded, face unamused and a questioning look clearly visible."I... I... It's," not finding the words to articulate, I eventually gave up.I sighed and said, "It was an accident. Deamian happened."Ryker's face went red and his fists clenched."What?" He boomed. He then moved closer and studied the bite marks further. "He tried something with you! Are you okay Rose? He didn't hurt you, did he? When I get my hands on that b-"But I had to cut him off somewhere right, despite him looking very overprotective and handsome."He didn't hurt me. It, it was an accident okay?" I said trying to calm him down."Accident?! How can he accidentally leave bite marks on my mate's neck?" He
ROSEBlood… blood everywhere. Pouring out of my ears, dripping from my nose, my eyes… all over my shaking hands. I looked down and turned cold. The bodies… every single werewolf who ever died during training were sprawled out at my feet. Each lifeless with eyes white as snow and skin pale and slightly blue. That’s when I saw them. My parents sprawled out in the middle, headless, and next to them, Martha. Her neck was once again contorted into a weird angle. Everyone here seemed lifeless, that was, until her eyes closed and opened in a blink. My breath hitched slightly, and she began to rise. Her bones clicking in place as she did. She then places her pale hands on her neck and twisted it back into place. Her eyes were red with blood but stared at me, keeping me frozen in place.“It’s all your fault!” She spat with a hoarse,
ROSEHe refused to tell me exactly why he felt it necessary to hide me in the sanctuary. And so, I thought it best to give him the cold shoulder. I woke up extremely early and began all my alpha duties, plagued, yet again by those frightening nightmares. First stop was Henry to fetch the report."Hey," he said. I returned it with a tired smile and for a moment he froze which had me panicking."What's wrong? Is there a rogue behind me or something?" I then turned but found no rogue.I turned back to him and he still had that surprised look on his face, but this time he at least managed to open his mouth to speak."Y-you smiled..." He said.My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Did I? I was too tired to even remember."Yes... So?"
ROSEI ended up in the cemetery. Yes... I know how morbid it sounds. But I had to see them. Nowadays I'd developed a sense of... Emotions. Maybe it was the fact that Ryker slash Deamian had made me see things differently. But I'd prefer not to think of him too much, I was still pretending to be upset.The nightmares were also still haunting me, and part of me believed that coming here, paying my respects… seeing those very closed graves, would help ease my worry. Despite trying to become a better person, these nightmares had me worn out to the point where I wasn’t sure I was as strong as I once was before.As I walked, I couldn’t help but notice how my body shook, how flashes of Martha, my parents and the other corpses filled my mind. I knew I needed to do this though, so I gritted my teeth and continued to walk.I placed a bouquet of flowers filled
ROSE"Alpha, you need to come quickly."I'd been in my office for the remainder of the day while Deamian was out on the grounds, making sure that everything was going smoothly. So, it was strange that I'd been called by Henry."What's wrong?" I asked.He grabbed my hand which caused me to growl lowly, said we had no time for arguing and then began to pull me towards the edge of the woods. Many werewolves were gathered there already. I tried to yell at Henry many, many times but each time I broke from his grasp, he grabbed me and continued to pull me harshly until finally I saw it. Or should I say, I saw her. The Moon Goddess. She was on the floor, her eyes shut and her chest barely rising and falling as she breathed. Deamian was by her side, worry in his eyes. As I neared, his eyes snapped towards me and softened. Immediately I was by his side.
ROSE"Where is he?!" Deamian yelled at the bloodied rogue with almost sunken back eyes and scratches all over his face. I was gory, unfeeling, merciless, and plain cold, but Deamian took it to a new level. So much so that Carina had left two hours ago crying and feeling sick to the stomach. My poor Beta even threw up outside. To be quite frank, my stomach was being tugged in all kinds of directions just watching him, and for a moment, I understood exactly what “power” was and how it was different to “strength”. Of course, Deamian had both, but this was just plain scary.The rogue shook his head for about the hundredth time and then the sound of breaking bones followed. I watched in horror as Deamian tore through the flesh and bones of his victim. This was the fifth rogue he'd killed today, along with a few shadows- humans infected with some sort of dark, forbidden werewolf magic- and although
ROSEI woke up gently to the feeling of warmth and strong arms surrounding me as well as the delightful scent of Deamian invading my senses and the knowledge that no single nightmare had attacked me. For a moment I wondered how exactly we ended up like this, and then memories of the previous night appeared in my head and a tiny smile spread across my face. I'd kissed him. Yes... I actually kissed Deamian. Gosh what the hell was going on with me."You're awake early." He mumbled and pulled me closer towards him. "How'd you know?" I asked as I lifted my head and saw his closed eyes."Your thoughts." He said, a smile forming on his face and his gorgeous blue eyes staring down at me. “Any nightmares?”I shook my head with a small smile and attempted to get up, but he grabbed me once again
