XXXIV. Not a monster
Laura
“When is Mark going to get out of the infirmary? Is the joining ceremony still happening next weekend, or Mark needs more time to heal?” my friend, Amelia, asked me while we sit in the common room.
The last thing I want to do is to be joined with Mark. He looks like a monster.“Have you seen how he looks, with all those scars all over? And his face is ruined. He looks like a…monster. How on Earth am I going to be able to look at him every day? Imagine him touching me. Disgusting! It wasn’t that he was hot before. I mean, he was ok, I suppose, but now, I just can not be with him,” I say.“How can you be so superficial? I would give anything to find my mate,” Krista, another friend, said.“I am not superficial. I am just telling the truth. You should see his face, with all those cuts. I can’t look at him aRelated chapters
The Alpha and The Slave XXXV. June
ElenaI was over the moon when I found out that Mark rejected Laura.“Why are you grinning like an idiot?” I asked him the second day after he got out of the infirmary. He was eating breakfast alone and had a huge grin on his face.He shook his head “Nothing. Just a thing I remembered.”“It must be very funny. So funny that I don’t see you upset over what happened with Laura. I heard what she said about you and that you rejected her. Good. You deserve better. And you are not a monster.”“Thanks, Elena. Your words mean a lot to me.”His eyes went to the cafeteria's entrance, and this huge smile appeared on his idiotic face. He stood up, pulled a chair, and waited. I was too curious about Mark's behavior and didn't look to see who was coming, but when the scents of exotic fruits reached me, I knew.“Goo
The Alpha and The Slave XXXVI.Beginning of love
VladimirFor the next few days, Elena didn't even talk to me. It would have been easy if she was angry with me and yelled at me. Instead, she didn’t look me in the eyes and avoided me.On the third night, after the Full Moon, I see Elena when she gets out of her office, and I rush to talk to her.“Elena, I want to talk to you,” I tell her.“I don't want to talk to you, Vladimir. Don't insist.”I ignore what she is saying and open the office door and pull her in. I lock the door after me.“You drive me crazy. One day you are sweet, and the other, you are cold.”“I want to leave, Vladimir. Move, or else I will make you.”I ignore her.“In the last three days, you haven’t even looked at me. And you don't want to talk to me either.”“Because there is nothing to talk about.
The Alpha and The Slave XXXVII. The silver knife
June 15thVladimir“Mom, how will I remember when my birthday is?” the little boy asked his mom.The mom hugged the little boy and kissed his little cheek.“When the clearing of the forest is full of flowers and buzzing with life when the warm light of the June Sun will kiss your sweet face, you will know it is your birthday,” the mother said, looking into the boy's eyes.He had the same eyes like his dad.“But what day, mom?”“The fifteen.”I wake up, covered in sweat, the sheets damped around me. I look at the watch: 5:23 AM. And then I see the date—the day when the nightmare started -the 15th of June, fifteen minutes years ago. Today is my birthday. After what happened, I never celebrate another birthday, not even when Ana br
The Alpha and The Slave XXXVIII. At the border
VladimirI float on a sea of pain for a long time. I don't see or hear anything. Does this mean I am dead? But why does it hurt so much? I thought that being dead meant being free of all pain. So why does my body hurt so much? Wait, do I still have a body?I don't know how long I float like this because I don't see or hear anything. So this is what it means to be dead? To be alone and in constant pain? I close my eyes.“You are not alone,” I finally hear a voice.“Who said that?” I ask.“Open your eyes,” the same voice said.I do that and in front of me is a big silver wolf. And everything around us is black.“Am I dead?” I ask.“Not yet.”“Then where am I?”“At the border between death and life.”“I can see my famil
The Alpha and The Slave XXXIX. Karmina
ElenaI run after Vladimir and yell for him to stop, but he doesn't listen. What the fuck just happened? Everything was going great until I asked him about Karmina, and he freaked up.I finally managed to find him at the lake. He always comes here. I approach him.“Please, Elena,” he says with a strangled voice. He sounds like he is in pain.“I just want to understand, that’s all,” I say. “No matter what happened, we will talk about it.”“You will loath me!” he says with a terrified voice.Did he really kill someone? But whatever the answer is, I know I won't loath him.“I would never loath you,” I say.“Not even when I am guilty of killing an innocent girl?” he asks, his voice full of regret and pain.“You are my mate, no matter what. Tell me what happened.”
The Alpha and The Slave XL. Craziness
ElenaIt is morning when I return with Vladimir to the pack. I can tell he is suffering a lot. And my heart breaks for him. The way he tortures himself…I take him to my room and make him lie in bed. I stay with him until he falls asleep. And I go to the dungeons. To where Max is kept.I enter and look at him. He is covered in bruises and dried blood, with a silver collar around the neck, tied to a wall.“You came to beat me more? No matter how much you beat me, it won't bring him back, ” he says with a big smirk on his face.I straddle a chair and look at him.“Why did you do it? Why did you kill him? Karmina was your sister, right?”His facial expression changes. He is no longer smirking.“Did Vladimir do something to Karmina?” I ask.“Yes!”I see hatred in his eyes.“What did h
The Alpha and The Slave XLI.Beatrice
Mark Learning that Vladimir was all right was the best news I received in a long time. Over the months, he became a very good friend, and I saw him as a brother. I think of how much Vladimir accomplished since he got here. He is more confident, stronger, can shift, and is the perfect match for Elena. And Elena. I think she is in love. She is even smiling, and I haven’t seen her smiling since… Alec died.“Do you need help in the kitchen?” I hear Rose calling.Crap. I got distracted and almost burned the food. I am making steaks tonight.“Everything all right! No need to worry.”I had to practice a little to make sure I know how to prepare the food. I want everything to be perfect tonight. One more minute and perfect! I arrange the food on plates and take it to the table.“Oh, it looks so good, Mark. Thanks!” Rose says, smiling. Her dimples are so sexy.I want her so ba

VladimirIt is around 10 AM when I say my goodbyes to the pack. Unfortunately, I can’t take Winter with me, so I ask Mark to take care of her.“Thanks for taking care of her,” I say to him.“Don't mention it. Winter is part of the pack now,” he says.I look at Elena, and a lot of emotions are written on her face.“I will be back soon,” I say to her.She nods.“I will be waiting for you,” she says.“Goodbye, Rose. William.”William hugs me and slaps my back hard. I swear this guy has to learn to control his strength.“Train hard and be back soon. I will get bored if you are not here to watch Netflix with me,” William says. “Who will train with me now?” he asks while he eyes Mark.I have to stop myself from laughing hard when Mark looks at William and gr
