The castle was quiet for the last week. I had the feeling of a trapped animal. Unable to leave yet still free inside the castle walls. It slowly driving my wolf mad and I was itching to shift causing me to be more irritated than usual. Eric and Damion went out to fix the borders borders. I did not ask what that meant, instead I trained with Justin.“Alright enough of archery you suck.” Justin gestured to the mat.I scoffed sending a glare at the arrows which had missed the target. Miraculously my ice shards got all bullseyes. Justin was unimpressed as per usual claiming I needed to stop using my magic as a crutch as it would get me nowhere. I was starting to agree. I’d been unable to beat him in hand to hand combat even though I had improved significantly. I could fend him off pretty well even though he was holding back.I got ready on the mat and Justin gave me a grin, “Don’t hesitate.” was all he said before attacking. I sidestepped trippi

Damion screamed as thousands of tiny ice shards slammed into him. The sound deafening my ears as I fought to keep my face blank instead of recoiling. The stone marble was like a mirror, reflecting my cold features perfectly. Why haven't I done this before? “You little slut!” Damion hissed breaking free and lunging for my neck.Justin intervened tackling him to the polished black marble. Punches were thrown. Soon Justin had pinned Damion easily. “She has you all wrapped around her frosty little fingers.”Justin said nothing only sending another punch his way.“Did you know she was looking for you?” Damion inquired cackling.“I should've killed your walking carcass months ago!” Justin growled gritting his teeth. His hands found Damion’s throat and started to squeeze.Damion started howling with laughter once more, “I don’t need air your highness! She was looking for you! And you weren't there. So you know

Navigated to -Chapter 15- | The White Wolf | “You what?” Emma shrilled.Eric gave her a glare making her divert her gaze to the floor.“I am going to be gone for two weeks to secure the border. Damion is coming with me.” Eric spoke slowly. Damion stood beside him his jaw clenched shut though his gaze was full of hatred.Justin scrunched up his nose in distaste.Damion. He was leaving, for two weeks. Were the only words my brain seemed to process. Gone, gone! He was gone and away for two weeks and away from me.“Andrew you’re in charge. Treat Valerie with respect she can roam the grounds freely” Eric finished.Eddy snapped his face upright “What? Why him?” He seemed surprised.I glimpsed Justin kick him under the table to keep him quiet. Eddy winced but stopped talking.Eric turned, “Valerie will be your queen in the coming months. That is why Edward Raubal.” His tone had a bite to it which made me want to quickly leave the room. I kept forgetting Eddy’s name was Edward the name seem

I stayed with Justin throughout the morning. Luckily for him the wraiths had improved. They were faster and more precise and could even doge slightly. For being soul spirits of the deceased they had improved greatly.At around midday Justin waved the wraiths off.“They are doing better.” I spoke carefully watching him dunk a bucket of water over his head.“Not good enough. They need to not hesitate. Kill faster and more cleaner.” Justin paused “If they are not ready by Summer Solstice, Eric will not let it go lightly.”I scoffed, “He isn't that bad. What’s he going to do? Huh?” I shook my head. Justin fearing Eric I couldn't understand anymore. Eric was just broody and ill tempered I doubt he would harm Justin.“You would be surprised. If you were anybody else, half the things you’ve pulled wouldn't of even happened.” Justin spat sheathing his knives.“Really? And why is that?”Justin’s face crumpled, “He acts

The mind is a funny thing. One moment emotion is high and running rampant the next, you feel nothing. Maybe I was harsh on Tamara, but she was in no place to treat anyone in such a manner. Yet that rush of energy. The sheer power I possessed in those moments… Was nearly enough to make me wish I had enjoyed it more, drawn out the minutes and truly made her sorry. Made her suffer.I blinked and the thoughts vanished, being overrun with a sense of dread. The hallway looked as it always had. The huge window with a seat to view the gardens was at the end next to Eric’s room. Our room, I suppose. Damion’s door was approaching and I swallowed my ever growing fear. Feeling it flutter in my chest like a caged animal. The feeling was enough to make my steps hurry and dizziness take hold. Of all the things to fear, I feared Damion. Not for his being a vampire, for his behaviour. For the true pleasure he took by inflicting pain and suffering on others. It was h
