Rosa “James!” My voice broke as I took him in. In the middle of the cell, he was hung up like sausage left to dry, his hands chained up to the ceiling. Blood trickled from his temple, joining the dried blood from earlier, and his shirtless body was torn with whips, blood trickling from the opened wound. His eyes were dark and his lips split, and the whole sight broke me beyond repair as I shook in my spot. His eyes met mine, and despite the pain he was going through, his eyes filled with warmth. “Rosalind- you’re here.” He grunted out, and I shook myself awake and ran towards him, and pulled the cell opened. Immediately I stepped into the cell and with trembling hands, I reached out to pull him close with a desperate need, my face burying Into his chest as I sobbed loudly. “I’m so sorry! It’s all my fault James, I should have never left. Oh it’s all my fault.” “Rosa, my wounds-“ he groaned, and I jumped away, feeling ashamed for my actions. “I’m so sorry, I’m so stupid-
RosaShawn’s grip tightened on my hair as he dragged me after him, through the cell where Chris was put, and from the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of him.He laid on the floor, his eyes screwed shut. The guards loomed around his cage but before I could look closely, Shawn yanked hard on my hair.“I’ve been patient with you, stupid whore. I’ve been nice, I’ve been patient! But one chance for you to prove that you aren’t just a stupid bitch, you go back to James? He doesn’t want you. He just wants what I want. You are worthless.”My eyes burned with tears as I kept every scream of pain to myself. I should have kept a stronger guard on the door. Now Shawn is going to kill me.He kicked the room door opened and threw me onto the bed, causing a cry of pain to leave my lips due to my aching scalp. “I’m going to teach you a lesson you will never forget.” Shawn growled, stalking towards me with his darkened eyes, his wolf on the surface, causing me to shiver in fear. “I’m going to fu
Rosa After Shawn left, Lola stepped in holding a cup, and I sat upright on the edge of the bed. Watching her walk in, her normally vibrant hair losing its warmth ignited a feeling I couldn’t control. She betrayed me. I trusted her as my friend, but all this while, she knew about my true nature, and just wanted me for my power. I took her into my heart, and all she cared about was taking what belonged to me. I hated her. She avoided my gaze as sye stepped towards me but I didn’t lower mine. The fight between Shawn and I earlier and seeing how demented he truly was sparked something within me. I would not just bow down and cry when I’m being kicked. I’m going to fight back, but with a plan. I do not want to be eaten for breakfast. “Here’s the antidote Shawn asked me to give you.” She handed me the glass, and our fingers touched slightly. I saw her tense. “Thanks.” I let out, clipped. She nodded, turned to leave, but I halted her in her steps, my hand gripping he
Rosa’s wolf Since she was born, her powers were kept away from her. I was kept away from her. For years I screamed for her to open her mind, to look inwards, to ask questions, but she didn’t know I was in there. For years I cried, I clawed, I begged. But poor girl had no idea who she was, what power she held. Before our enemies tried releasing me, I was dormant. Useless. I had forgotten how to be me. The wolf created by the moon goddess herself to bless her children. The chosen wolf made to protect and strengthen the species she loved. I watched as Shawn lied his way into our lives. I watched as James chose that witch Marina as his mate when I was his true mate. I watched and wasn’t able to say a word. But after being partially released by our enemies, I wasn’t still free, but I tried to regaining my power. Only little and little passed through the gate where my powers were locked. But as Rosalind bled on the carpet, I felt the powers push through, and immediately, I
Shawn The next ritual was one I had to stay out overnight for, and it was not nearly as easy as the last one. But I finished none the less. Lola didn’t seem impressed, instead she looked like she hated that I overcame the ritual. But she knew what was at stake, so she congratulated me. Tomorrow was the last day of the ritual, and I could finally mate and claim Rosa’s powers. I could taste it already. A smirk made its way to my lips and I turned my direction to James’s cage. I was going to retire and sleep because of the way my body hurt, but I couldn’t resist the temptation to gloat in James’ face. As always, when I stepped into the dungeon, the prisoners growled and snarled, but that didn’t deter me. They were all under my mercy, and with an order from me, I could make their lives a living hell. Worse than what they are already living. My eyes met with Rosa’s brother’s and I smirked at him. His eyes were filled with disdain. I rolled mine. Power hungry wolf. If he co
Rosalind My chest burned as I took back control from Celeste and ran as fast as my legs could take me away from my room and to the where the dungeon was. It felt like a dream, watching Celeste take control and deceive Shawn into thinking I wanted him. I shivered, as if I would ever want that disgusting monster. “Hurry, Rosalind. Once he’s done and he needs to come out, it would clear off.” Apparently I had the power to seduce men into doing my bidding, but it wears off when they know I’m up to something. Good to know that’s one of the things Shawn desperately wants. Celeste said he could use it to move people to do his bidding, and I began to fear again. My heart roared in my chest as we approached the dungeon, and the two guards who guarded the building growled as they saw me coming. “What are you doing here? Turn back before you regret it.” The one on the left growled and goosebumps erupted on my skin. “Let’s switch Rosa.” Celeste ordered, and immediately I resided to the
Rosalind Celeste has been quiet all day. I could feel the anger and self hatred coming from her, and no matter how much I tried to convince her that she did her best, it didn’t work. It was easy being strong for someone when it meant ignoring your own reality. Today was the last part of the ritual. Which meant this night was the night. The night my powers would be taken from me and Celeste would be dead. She wouldn’t be able to handle my powers being gone. That was her essence. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring out of the window. It was a rather quiet day. I pleaded with Shawn to spare Chris and James, but he kicked me instead. He said he was going to show me. I shivered. I do not want to know what’s going to happen. Celeste wasn’t answering me, and I’ve been forced to… surrender. Give it up. The dreams of having my own life. Of defeating Shawn and Lola. I had to give up everything, including my dreams of having a family with James, and our little kids running
RosalindThe maids dragged me down to the hall, the deafening noise of the pack members piercing through the air as their Alpha finished his ritual. My body vibrated with both fear and cold as I was dragged to the alter, and all the pack members roared in excitement as I was pushed to where Shawn’s body laid on the slab, Lola marking him with a substance that seemed too similar to blood, and I swallowed. From the corner of my eye, I saw James, tied down to the floor, his eyes screwed shut to numb the pain he was going through.“James,” I screamed, but the crowd yelled in disapproval. A guard kicked him hard in his gut and he yelled in pain, causing me to sub, but no amount of sobbing made these people care about me.If it did anything, it made them even more excited.Tonight was really happening.“Bring the bearer of the power.” Lola commanded in a scary tone, her eyes black with power and I shivered. That wasn’t Lola anymore. A hand pushed me from behind and I stumbled towards her.
