BAELAThe sun had long set and it was now night time, as I laid on my bed. I was in the dark in my room as I refused to light up the lantern. The Delta werewolves had kindly offered to do so for me but I ignored them. I just wanted to be left alone in the dark. The darkness of my room matched how I felt inside - it was gloomy.I hadn't spoken to Aria since I was confined to my room. I didn't feel like it. The Delta guards were also outside my room and would think I was insane talking outloud "to myself".I was backing the window as I laid on my side on the bed, staring at the entrance of my room. The door was broken, so I could see a reflection of the light coming from the passageway. I was about to close my eyes to get some sleep if I could manage it, when I heard footsteps approaching. They were familiar footsteps of two werewolves I knew so well - they were those of my parents.I quickly sat up on my bed, ready to welcome them. Father and mother hadn't been to my room all day sinc

BAELAI was awestruck by the way Abbadon moved during training. He moved quickly and stealthily for a werewolf; evasive, yet powerful! I wondered how he learnt to fight like that?Werewolves were usually quick and abrasive in their attack to show their dominance but his was different. He could strike without getting struck. He could inflict his maximum blow and walk away unscathed. He could do this while still not transformed! I imagined what else he could do in his werewolf form. There was still a lot I had to learn about Abbadon Dargan but this excited me rather than scare me. The stealth way he moved brought back flashes, as the mystery of what had happened in the past began to unravel in my mind...***12 DAYS PRIORI laid hidden in the spot, at the base of the mountain where my Dark Angel had rescued me and kept me. I didn't know his name, so I called him that.It was brave of him to risk his life to rescue us, after having seen the vicious giant troll that was out there to kill

BAELALast night was the worst night of my entire life!I could barely sleep, as I laid wide awake in bed alone, in the darkness of my room. I wasn't dreaming but I could see flashes of Lily at the point when she came back to save me.It brought grief to my heart. I was exhausted from crying and my head was pounding from thinking too much about her. I was in a sorry state.I caught sight of the first ray of the sun, as it filtered through the curtain of my open window after what felt like an eternity. Finally the dawn had come and the night was over but my problems were just beginning. My first thought was to see my parents. I wanted to see how they were fairing and also to ask for their forgiveness. They had cared for me last night unselfishly, despite their heavy hearts before leaving me alone so I could sleep. I could see father was trying to pull it together but mother was weaker and more vulnerable. They had to take time off from me to also express their loss of Lily together.

BAELAThe day I had long anticipated had arrived. I opened my eyes to see the beautiful day while Aria made magic sounds in my ears. I had instructed her to wake me up in the most blissful way imaginable. I didn't want to be late for D-Day and she didn't disappoint. It was subtle, yet wonderful as I woke up to the sounds of chirping birds close to my ears.I was high-spirited and nervous at the same time as I got out of bed. Everything I would be needing for today's Arena games were already provided by my parents. They had made a special black fitted outfit for my contest today. I chose the colour because it reminded me of Abbadon - it was his colour.Thinking of Abbadon, I knew he would be arriving soon for breakfast and I couldn't wait to see him at the castle. All I had to do now was to go have my bath and get ready to go to the second floor to have breakfast.I was done after some minutes in the bathroom and had gotten dressed, putting on my black fitted outfit and my black matchi

BAELAMy whole world as I knew it had just come crashing down right in front of my eyes. I couldn't believe Alpha Merrick had just confirmed that I was not my parents' real daughter, I was not a Rossi...I was an orphan!I was in shock and totally speechless, as my tears rolled down my eyes in streams."NO ALPHA MERRICK - BAELA IS MY DAUGHTER!" Father exclaimed, trying to reclaim his ownership over me. I have never seen or heard father raise his voice back at the Alpha. He never dared before but today was different. I was on the line.I could see Alpha Merrick get up quickly from his throne to address my father. He looked surprised but his anger was not yet visible."BAELA MUST KNOW THE TRUTH OF WHO SHE IS, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!""I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED IT CAME DIRECTLY FROM YOUR LIPS AND IN PRIVATE BUT FATE HAS DECIDED. IT IS UNFORTUNATE IT CAME OUT LIKE THIS, IN PUBLIC AND FROM ANOTHER!""YOU MUST TELL HER THE TRUTH BETA LORGAN - SHE IS NOT YOUR REAL DAUGHTER, ONLY LILY EVER WAS - MAYB
