Fire

“ I love you!” That’s all she muttered before she was indeed gone.

Her head fell on the ground, and in less than a second, I became alone again!

My wolf was howling out of pain. We were both lost in our agony as the psychopath in front of us seemed to enjoy the moment.

I felt anger burning through my veins as the skin of my body started getting on fire. Finally, something about being an elemental wolf that seems useful.

I believe I'm able to control the fire, the fire that would burn that bastard into ashes.

I closed my eyes, and I shouted, letting it all out while directing all the power that was radiating out of my body toward him.

Hopefully for him, he managed to escape before he was melted by my fire.

My buddy went so cold, and I went back to my normal state.

The iron that was keeping me inside the cell melted by my fire, leaving a space for me to get free.

I fell to my knees when I realized that even my mother's body was burned into ashes because of my fire.

Meanwhile, the vampire was fine.

My anger turned immediately into regret, and in no time, I was unable to do anything that would help her back.

I sat down on my knees next to her ashes while crying.

The sound of a movement broke my moment of agony, and my attention was turned back to the vampire as he appeared again while laughing.

“ And they call us monsters; there's no danger that can be stronger than an angry wet dog. Whether a normal wolf or an Elemental.”

“ Just like you, I lost my entire family in the hands of your mates. He killed both - the lady of my life, and the child she was carrying.”

He started explaining as if he was making excuses to himself, not that he was expecting me to sympathize with him.

“ That is none of my business… I did nothing to you!” I looked at the ashes of my mother while not being able to stop my tears. “ She did nothing to you!”

“ My dear, you already did - the existence of your kind is a threat that I need to eliminate. Now that I have you, I found the cure I’ve always been searching for.”

While he was speaking, I was surrounded by a group of bloodsuckers. I’ve spent the entire time avoiding fighting, and that’s what led to the death of my mother.

I decided to shift to my wolf, and in no time, I was standing on four instead of two.

I started by tearing up one vampire after another without caring about how many of them I killed. They weren't as strong as I thought. Perhaps it is because they were newly turned ones.

As I started feeling the satisfaction of winning the battle, the vampire that killed my mother joined the battle.

With one tiny move, I was thrown away.

I tried to get on my feet in order to fight for myself, but he was stronger than I. He zoned me there where I fell a while ago, then started launching one punch after another.

He was still stronger than I, and the worst part was that I had nothing to do about it all.

Well, as I was about to give up. A dark huge wolf seemed to throw the vampires further away from my body and throw him away as easily as he had previously thrown me.

I was able to recognize the wolf as Luther. Behind him stood other wolves from whom I could scent the presence of Noah and Liam.

They were all here to save me; they were fighting for me, as a family should do.

Feeling safe, I decided to give up the sweet feeling of sleep I was feeling, and in no time I was lost in darkness.

A hint of deja vu overwhelmed me while I was opening my eyes.

I was in a different room, different from anyone I’d been in before. But it smells good!

The perfect mixture of lilies and strawberries… Luther's scent.

Speaking about him, my memory started emerging back, and I felt for the first time that I was worrying about his safety.

Isn't it funny…. I mean, Luther is that alpha king; he doesn’t need me to worry about him.

Again, the mate bond is doing crazy things to me.

I breathed in and out and made my decision. I decided to leave the room where I woke up and start searching for him.

The last I do remember, I was in my wolf form.

Does that mean… He saw me naked!

They saw me naked…

Well, being naked is a normal thing in the werewolves' world. Being unconscious while naked isn’t…. Argh… 

I looked at myself in one of the room’s mirrors, and I noticed that I was wearing a white dress that I'd never seen before.

It doesn't look like the fancy dress that I was wearing at the celebration.

it is more of a pajama in the form of a dress - a white one.

I have to admit it - they seem indeed to have something with the color white. 

I mean, since I first came here, they've only provided me with white clothes.

I busted the door open, then emerged out of the room barefoot.

For some unknown reason, I felt like being home, although I was brought up here not too long ago.

When people are walking somewhere they don't know, they normally let their feet take them there.

In my case, I wasn't doing the same. My nose was the one controlling me, as all I was thinking about was my mate.

In no time, I found myself in the middle of my mate's office. Around him, what seems to be the werewolves' coven.

Immediately, I wore a smile on my face as I was intending to introduce myself, but weirdly enough, he spoke as if he was intentionally trying to stop me. 

"Amara, I’m Lucien, alpha king… I reject you as my mate! From now on, I want nothing to do with you.”
