ROSE
He 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
ROSEWatching him sleep was the most intriguing thing ever. I would just glance here and there at his sleeping form and wonder how such an arrogant, egotistical pain in my behind could look so angelic when sleeping.I drove to the next gas station and then woke him up, as instructed. At first, he was slightly disoriented until I offered a smile which he returned."Switch?" He asked. I nodded and attempted to get out of the car... Until I looked down and realised that I was still in my pyjamas."I um, I need to change before we go anywhere." I said. He looked at me confused and then scanned my clothing and gave a curt nod."You can grab something from your bag and change in the bathrooms quickly." He said. No snarky remark... No Deamian humour, nothing… not even when we both knew that these pyjama shorts were way too revealing to be avoi
ROSEAt exactly 5pm when we arrived in Stella, in front of a fairly small home guarded by a low fence which enclosed around the property. It was all too familiar."Your old house?" I asked. He nodded getting out of the door and opening mine for me. We walked towards the white painted patio and Deamian opened the door with a key he found in his bag."After you..." He said, motioning for me to enter. The house was exactly as I'd remembered. Pale, blue walls decorated with paintings of stars, moons, and flowers. The wooden floors were spotless and had that gorgeous shiny finish. As I entered the living room, I turned on the lights revealing the leather couches and vintage wooden coffee table. The flatscreen TV hung against the wall and looked almost unused. When last had they been here?"Um, your room is just in that passage, second door to the right. Mine is just across
ROSE"It began when you were born..." Deamian said. "She just felt that you were the one. I could tell on her face. She knew you were special, strong, powerful. You were everything my previous 'mate' was lacking and more-""-wait, previous mate?" I said as I stared at him in shock, we were currently sitting on his bed across from each other.he looked at me with annoyance and told me not to interrupt him. I reluctantly agreed."That day, she met with your parents and told them of her plans for you and the title you were supposed to be born under. She took one look at you and in her heart, she knew you and I were destined. I knew it too. Something in those eyes drew me in. They had the same amount of power and confidence that radiated from me. It was then that she decided that you would not be a Luna. You would be a Goddess... More particularly, Moon Goddess. So, she i
ROSEThe next day I woke up to the smell of eggs wafting in the air as well as a hint of toast and sausages.I inhaled once more, allowing the smell to completely take over my senses, causing a low grumble in my stomach. I was hungry. With that thought in mind, I raced to the kitchen, completely forgetting that I'd gone to sleep in my underwear because it was so hot in the evening."Breakfast!" I yelled eyeing the food. Hungry Rose was very... Strange. That's why I kept myself always properly fed to prevent her from showing up.Deamian looked up and then froze as he eyed my body darkly. He was practically defiling me with just his gaze."... Are you trying to provoke me?" He asked.I looked at him confused and then finally looked down at my body. My eyes nearly fell from their sockets in shock. Stupid... STUPID Rose. W
