Jeremiah and his friends being the considerate assholes they were led me to wherever it was we were headed through town leaving me in my clanging chains to open display for everyone.I was profusely sweltering under the hot sun and the heavy chains I had to pull along didn't in any way make it easier for me. My hair matted to my head fell in stringy strands around my face, I was sure I stank heavily and it was a wonder Jeremiah and his friends hadn't mentioned it.I was pressed with the intense need to pee but having had no liquid intake, the need hadn't been bothering me enough to make me do it on myself and for that I was grateful. I would never be able to get past the shame of urinating on myself.The weakness I felt was so deeply embedded in my soul that I could not even afford to look up and notice what was left of the town but I knew people watched me unabashedly and from the crowd, the smell of vampires strongly perforated the air.It turned out our destination was Damon’s home

The shop owner went down with a loud cry that tore through the silence of the hall, reverberating through the walls and back. I could feel every onlooker’s breath held as they watched me display my sorcery.He laid on the floor writhing from pain and even though it hadn't been enough to kill him, I was certain he would never remain the same - hurting bad enough to wish death upon himself.The next face was unfamiliar and he watched me with the same defiant eyes.“It is horrible enough that you were our Luna, your kind disgusts me! Go on, force me to bow down to someone I will never succumb to! Do it!” He yelled at me.I felt his words ricochet in me and I wanted so badly to tell him it had nothing to do with me and that I was also a pawn in this game but yet again, what use would that be? They hated me already for being a sorcerer, and nothing was going to change that.Despite his stubborn outwardness, the cry he let out was louder than the first. I was not heartless enough to feel no

I would like to kill them all, every single person in existence around me.It would be an easy feat, I wanted to set them on fire, myself included. It would be easy, I said to myself again, all I had to do was to simply let my powers roll over me and connect it with nature’s energy, I could feel it buzzing beneath my feet.The anger and pain in me would be infused into it so much that no one would be spared when I unleashed but I couldn't.Nothing hurt more than the fact that I couldn't do it, so I cried, screamed, and kicked as I was bound back, the chains locked around my hands and I was led back to the attic where I currently sat, watching the wall opposite me with eyes blurred from tears.Marina.I repeated her names over and over again until it was the only thing ringing in my head. She was dead because of me, I had wanted to save her but instead, I had shown I cared much about her and made her prey to Valinne’s cruelty.A lesson for me.I wished I was dead.I wished Damon had le

“Get up!” Jeremiah said, opening the door and yelling at me from outside. I ignored him until he had to fill his big frame into the room and pull me, and himself out of it.He was panting slightly as he led me down the stairs and my lips widened into a smile at his discomfort.Today, I was led outdoors where a group of vampires was bound and lined up and the pack members were standing around and watching, the segregation between the werewolves and vampires remained. I let out a groan at the sight; how many prisoners does David need to punish?I stared at my feet this time as David spoke, willing for the time to move faster while still knowing that I was going to have a repeat of the days ago event.“These vampires bound today are those of us who have broken the important rule for the cohabitation of the two species. Blood feeding should only be done with wild animals, members of other packs, and rogues. My vision for this merger is to help the Dark Moon pack achieve what no other pack

Alex watched the woman in the cell opposite him. It was what he had done for the past months they'd been locked together. He had only watched her with complete silence even though she tried to get him to talk, there was nothing for him to say to her.How stupid could he have been? Had he been so desperate for love, he had fallen madly for the first woman to give him attention and it didn't help that she looked like that. He had for so long been insecure about himself because of his scars and why wouldn't he be? Not after his true mate had rejected him.He still had the image of her in his mind - her long, thick blonde hair that cascaded down her back, almost reaching her waist, of her perfect skin and blue, bright eyes. She was an Alpha daughter and was his mate, his mate who had been horrified at the sight of him.It was why when Adrianne had given him attention, he had been taken by it, taken by her, and here they both were - he had just been a pawn in her game.It was his fault fo
