ANMELDENCassie knew what they had to do, but the truth was, she really did not want it done. If it was truly left with only her to make the decision, she would honestly decide to spare her life. Call it selfish, but she did not want to die. She did not want to lose her mind to someone who was evil. She wanted to live a full life, and she wanted to see how she would look when she got older. She wanted to be able to see the world and more. She wanted so much…so much more for herself. She did not want to die without stepping out of this stupid town. She did not hate the town, but she never wanted it to be a place where she would be stuck forever. If she were to die right now, all her plans to see the world and everything else would fade away into nothing. She watched Selena, Maddox, and Leon argue, trying to figure out a way to save her life. But she also did not want to be the reason why the pack could perish. She did not want to go down in history like that. “Hey,” She said in a soft voic
Everyone waited with bated breath to hear what the councilmen had to say, especially Vance. They all had their eyes on him, and he knew that. He was used to the attention, and he liked it, but he knew that he needed to focus. He glanced at his daughter for a second, who was the only reason that he was even doing all of this, before looking back to the police chief. He cleared his throat and began, “Like we also discussed, Alpha Maddox will face trial. A date will be set for it, and until then, he will be allowed to post bail to be free.” The woman swallowed, sighing before running her hand through her hair. “Alright, I hear you. But there should be rules while he awaits trial. He is not allowed to leave the town or pack; if he does, he will be arrested, and everything that was agreed upon concerning the trial will be thrown out the window. That’s one of the rules,” She explained. “I will write up the other ones and have them sent to you.” Vance looked over to his colleagues, and th
After drinking, there was no way that they could go back to the Royal Mansion because they were all intoxicated. And besides, it was already late too. So they just decided that they were going to spend the night at the creepy, luxurious mansion they were at. They decided that they were all going to just sleep in Cassie’s room. It was big enough. Leon offered to sleep on the carpeted floor while the girls would sleep in the bed. He did not mind; if anything, he felt good about it, that he was not going to be sleeping alone. After an hour more of just talking about random things, sleep stole everyone away. When morning came, the first person who woke up was Leon. He had a weird headache and felt a bit hungover, but he did not have time to deal with it. There were a lot more important matters to handle. For instance, trying to find another way to get rid of Malek, and also finding a way to get the alpha from being held at the police station. He sat up and yawned, soon standing to his
Selena knew that she could not kill Malek, and for some reason, that brought her some peace. At least, she did not have to end a life. But she did know that she needed to help the blonde girl. Cassie was in great pain. She knew that she should have said something when the omega had started to stab Malek, and then she started to feel like she was being stabbed in the heart, too. She should have opened her mouth, but she had not. She had wanted their plan to work so much that she was willing to pretend that she was not literally starting to bleed as the guy was bleeding as well. This just meant that the guards were telling the truth, she was truly connected to the guy, and there was nothing she could do to harm him unless she was willing to sacrifice her life. And she did not want to do that. As much as she loved the town and pack, she was not willing to die for anyone, knowing that not her own mother would be willing to lay down her life for her. Not even her own father, as well. C
Selena stood there, not saying anything in response. Not because she had not heard the blonde girl, but because she just could not speak. She was still in her head, trying to process everything that was happening in the moment. It all just felt so surreal to her. Because what do you mean that the alpha was currently being held at a police station because of crimes he had committed? And the fact that his mother had been killed by a man that Selena was now supposed to kill in just a few minutes. That was not even all. The entire sky had been swallowed up in darkness, and the rivers in the town were red like blood. Elijah was also in the hospital and could literally die at any minute due to how bad his injuries were. Thinking about it all, she kind of felt like it was all her fault. Because if she had just stayed with Elijah and treated him better in the beginning, maybe none of this would have happened. You know that saying? The one about a butterfly flapping its wings in one place a
It was only a few hours before evening, and Cassie was not going to let the police arrest Malek before he got what he deserved. He did not deserve jail time; what he deserved was to die. He did not deserve to be alive. And she was going to make sure of that, even if the omega was going to back out of the whole thing. They had just arrived at the mansion, parking not far from the front gate. “You guys should stay in the car. I’m going to try to find a way to get you guys in. When it’s done, I will ring you up,” She said the last part while looking directly at Leon. Then she got down from the car, adjusted her clothes, and made her way to the front gate. Guards immediately stopped her, their eyes bloodshot and filled with an evil that was only linked to being a vampire. But the thing was, they were hybrids as well. “Why are you here?” One of them asked. “I live here, remember? I’m literally Malek’s Queen, do you think you should be asking me questions?” She fired back, her voice st
Selena didn’t have a choice but to accept Leon’s so-called ground rules. Or rule. His words hurt her, they would hurt anyone. But she took on the pain that they brought.As an omega, you learned to accept disrespect. Sometimes it would be unprovoked, or maybe a lot of times. But such was life. It
Selena sniffled, standing to her feet. “Why?” She asked as she waited for an answer. She wanted to know because the last time she had talked to the alpha, the man had shouted at her to get away from him.So why? Why did he want to see her now?“Will you just get in the damn car?” Beta Leon said as
The wind blew in Selena’s hair as she stared out the window of the moving car. She had no idea where they were going but she was intrigued about it.It was quiet until they finally came to a stop. They were a bit far away from civilization, surrounded by a lot of trees. This was the first time that
Selena was trying so hard to wrap her head around the conversation she had eavesdropped on. She kept replaying it in her head. It was literally the same thing that Cat had said she had seen in the spirit world. As much as the omega wanted to believe that it was nothing but a coincidence, it was ki
