Elena:My chest rose and fell with each breath that I took as I fought the pain that I felt.My head hurt despite my sleep, and though I was supposed to be unconscious, I couldn’t help but feel everything that there was around me.The beeping sounds.The voices of the doctors.Everything just played in my mind behind the closed shields that were called eyelids.“I am curious to know why you are fighting this,” I heard his voice, the Lycan’s, in my head. I opened my eyes, though I was aware that they were not open, and looked at the man who smirked. The doctors were working on my wound while I lay still and I frowned as I realized that my soul wasn’t in my body. “He is my mate, and I think that this is enough reason,” I said, taking a step toward him. The doctors scrambled around in the room and I shook my head, knowing that the Lycan was having this effect on me to ensure that we spoke. “The main question is, what are YOU gaining out of this? Surely you don’t expect me to believe tha
Alvize:“Why didn’t anyone call me?” I asked, frowning as I heard what happened to my mate. I ran toward her and took her hand in mine, feeling her pulse despite being able to hear it as I tried processing what happened. I had walked out of the basement with an amused smile despite the anger that I felt. The demon played with more fire than I thought he would, and though it was hard to keep myself controlled in front of him. However, now, the anger that I felt at my family for keeping something like this from me was one that I couldn’t describe if I tried. To say the least, I wouldn’t have expected them to leave me to tend to a demon when my mate needed me by her side. It would have given her the strength that she needed to fight if something was hurting her. But no, they decided to keep something like this from me, and that wasn’t something that I was going to be able to ignore or let go of.“The last thing that we wanted to do was distract you while you were speaking to a demon. I
Elena:“Mama?” I called, walking around my old house. The smell of food filled my nostrils. It was my mom’s famous casserole, and I couldn’t help but smile as I entered the kitchen to see her cutting onions. “Hi, baby.” She said, and I smiled as I walked toward her. I stood on the stool that was beside the counter and she leaned in to kiss the crown of my head. I looked down at the ingredients and couldn’t help but bite my bottom lip as I realized that she was making my favorite rice.“Can I please have a cookie, mama?” I asked, knowing that I wasn’t allowed to have dessert before dinner. Dad was coming back from work at any moment now, but I was still very hungry.“You and I both know the rules, princess.” Mom said, and I giggled.“But, mama, I am hungry. And I will still eat my food. You are making my most favorite thing in the world.” I said and she laughed. Little did I know that I was never going to eat that casserole to begin with.“And what would I do to you if you don’t eat
Alvize:“How the fucking hell did he manage to get out?” I asked, watching the cameras with Ezra. The security men were out of it or most probably dead. Despite us hearing their heartbeats, their eyes were wide open, and their bodies seemed to be completely frozen.“The metal should have kept him blocked inside.” Ezra said, shaking his head, “and even if he did get out, how did he not burn? The fucked bastard should have burned the second he tried moving.”“Killian,” I said, recalling my mate’s words. Ezra frowned in confusion and I nodded at him to follow me to my mate’s infirmary room. The man couldn’t have been the reason behind what happened to her. Her suffering and pain, the fucked up bastard wouldn’t have stooped as low as to harm her while being treated.Who was I fucking kidding? The man would do more than that knowing that she wouldn’t be able to fight him back.“What the fuck are you talking about?” He asked and I sighed as we entered the room.“The fucked up bastard was t
Elena:I frowned as I saw my mate walking out of the room.“He’s just angry that…”“Not everyone has to agree with him about such a point of you,” I said, stopping Ezra who nodded in understanding. “I know that he would have been more thankful if he knew what it was like to lose everything and everyone in one night.”“Why did they kick you out of the pack? Judging by what I understood, you were just a kid.” He stated and I sighed. It wasn’t something that I liked talking about nor was it something that I wanted to explain, but he was right, I was a kid.“I’m an Alpha born, the only heir of the Alpha, and it seems that I opposed a threat. Whatever it was, they wanted to get rid of it, meaning me.” I said, looking down at my lap. My heart ached as the words left my mouth and Ezra nodded in understanding. “Anyway, they just wanted to find something or more specifically, someone to throw blame on, and they threw a majority of it on me. And as a kid, I didn’t have anything to say about it.
Alvize:I woke up to Elena running her finger through my hair, her touch gentle, making my heart swell as I opened my eyes. The fact that the two of us were well aware that Ianos was here was something that neither one of us was going to deny. But the idea of him watching us seemed a lot more appealing now that we knew that he couldn’t do anything about it for a while.To say the least, I might as well give him a show while it lasted, and I was going to be sure that he and the Lycan paid for what my mate went through. However, for now, I was going to focus on her and her alone. I smiled as I looked up at her, and recalling her words, I couldn’t help but purr at the contentment that I felt.The woman, my woman, was more than willing to accept me the way that I was, broken, in pain, shattered, and angry. But she didn’t seem to care. She saw the good in me and embraced it, and to know that I had someone, just one person in my life that saw that in me was something that I was more than
Elena: I watched as Maria nodded and rushed out of the room before I frowned. The room’s lights were turned on before shutting off again, indicating that the bastard was here. “Do you have a bullet?” I asked, making my mate frown in confusion just as Ezra entered the room. His eyes met mine as I tried locating something that would indicate the presence of the demon. I didn’t even know what happened between the two brothers, but judging by Ezra not bothering to look at Alvize, I knew that the argument turned out more heated than my mate let out. Nevertheless, I knew to handle that later. “Huntress…” a whisper filled my ears and I frowned. Alvize and Ezra looked at me, both silently letting me know that they heard what I did. I slowly pulled the IV cord from my hand, making Alvize frown. I shook my head at him, not wanting to react. “You can get her out if you want, your in-law isn’t why I’m here,” he said, his voice sending shivers down my spine as the ground beneath our feet s
Alvize:“Why the fucking hell would we trust a man like you?” I asked, glaring at the man who smirked as he looked at my mate.“You don’t, and believe me, the last thing that I want is your wellbeing. I am doing this to set myself free of this stupid curse of being linked to the demon. And as much as I want to kill your mates, I need this one alive, and unfortunately, the other one has a child and I am using a moment of kindness to spare her for the baby’s sake.” He said, turning to look at Ezra and I. Elena shook her head as she slowly removed the heart monitor, making it beep. “Elena, what the…?”“There is no point in discussing such a case right now. Plus, you wanting me dead will not change anything as you won’t be able to kill me, at least, until we are done. We can discuss why you want the men to suffer while on the way.” Elena said, nodding at me. She shook her head at me, not wanting me to make a fuss and I sighed before nodding.“Why do you need my mate alive again?” I asked
