Savage Passion Alaska De' Crescent
LYDIA Elliot stayed with me for a little while just to make sure I was alright. The morning was still early and I was certain I had a few moments to sleep on but I couldn't. I feared my next dream would be more graphic. So to get the dirty remnants off my mind, I decided to ask Elliot a few questions."Who were you to my mother?"He looked at me puzzled, his back was slanted on the door as he slowly sank to the floor. "You don't remember me?" He queried."I do. I'd like to think so at least. I remember you from my childhood. You sometimes play fought with me. The memories are fuzzy but I know you are a good person.""I was a friend to your mother. A very close friend."Another question came to mind but I didn't want to say it. It sounded like an offensive thing to say to a man that had just saved my life. His gift... I had never seen anything like it. Teleportation was a gift my pack was supposed to be blessed with but the books said it had been lost to time. Others mentioned that it
Savage Passion Like fire to gasoline
FIONA The Rose mansion had never been so apprehensive. There were servants running lefts and right but there was something that connected their crazed running; Alexios 's quarters. Curious as to what was happening, I approached one of the busy servants and pulled her in. "What seems to be the trouble?" I demanded.The frightened servant gulped, her eyes although red were glazed with tremors of worry. The workers in the Rose mansion were only this bothered when Alexios was in a foul mood. "The Grand Luna asked us to pack up for her and the Alpha. They seem to want to travel. I'm not really sure." The girl answered me, being sure to bow but it didn't mean much to me this time around. Once upon a time, they probably did it out of respect but right now, they probably did out of pity. You could see it in the slouch that accompanied that defiant bow. The news had spread wide and fast that I was no longer the prospective mate of the Rose pack. After Curtis' stunt on my behalf, the supernat
Savage Passion Eyes of Diamonds
LYDIA "I don't think I can..." I stammered, pointing the candle back at Elliot. Totems as powerful as this were hard to find. It took an extremely powerful witch to craft one and I had not the slightest idea what price Elliot had to pay to get one. "You acquired this for yourself. It would be cruel of me to steal your chance to talk to whoever you want to speak to." I pointed it closer to him, tears filling the brim of my eyes. "I can't accept this."Elliot smiled down at me and reached into his chest pocket. He withdrew a matchbox and dropped it to the earth. My eyes followed it. It took a moment before I could face him again. "Don't be so prim and proper." He said to me. "Didn't you say you wanted to see her one last time?""But...""Would you rather see Alaska's body?" He butted in.The tears started to pour. My outstretched hands got weak to the core and eventually, they fell to my laps. I did want to see my mother. More than anything. As much as it felt selfish, a part of me was
Savage Passion An ex and a grudge
ALEXIOSIt took two days to reach Nightshade territory much to my chagrin. Mother chose to follow me and surprisingly so did Fiona. I did want to tell her no. But she was her own person. As much as I knew why she was joining us, I didn't have the heart to stop her. I was convinced she would eventually come around. We were accepted into the almost desolate pack grounds that happened to be Nightshade. My heart thumped as the vehicle I was in slowly carouseled around the maze that was their settlement before eventually stopping in front of a mansion. It was vast in every manner. So much so that it almost rivaled the Rose mansion. In front of the entrance was Vitale, the new Alpha of the Nightshade, and next to him were two elders. One's demeanor was cool as the starry night. The other however looked as blue like a ghost. The whites in his eyes became almost bloodshot at the sight of me. I could hear his heart from the comfort of the car. He was very much afraid and rationally, there were
Savage Passion The Massacre
ALEXIOS The car door flew open and I watched as my mother and Fiona paced onwards. My name as being yelled. Although, all I could hear was white noise. My eyes were fixated on Fiona. She gave me a knowing look. Perhaps it was all in my head but the glow in those eyes had darkened. I saw guilt in those dark irises. Fiona rushed to my side, her hands were firmly placed against my head to stop the bleeding. She was crying. So was my mother. The world died in front of me before burning alight again. With the alien strength that arose within me, I pushed Fiona away from my line of sight. Pack members of the Nightshade pack were now battling with the reanimated corpse. Their goal seemed to be to free Vitale who was still impaled in the chest. "Where is Lydia?" The creature asked again, digging its speared fingers deeper into the Alpha's flesh. Vitale groaned in absolute suffering as the creature continued to forcibly extract information from him."I don't know." He wussed, crimson sputt
Savage Passion The consonance
ALEXIOS I bolted up to sitting, aware of the way I melted into the bed I was in. The chill of air brushed against my bare chest, kept from my knowingly naked body by a thick duvet tucked around me. I half expected to see nothing but crimson. But the would on my forehead and the broken bones were gone. The room was dark. The lamps were dim and the curtains blocked a lot of the sun lights phasing through the windows. That and the broad dark shadowy figure that blocked the lamp light in front of me from reaching me.He stood before me. Vitale. Shadow cast across his cheekbones which hollowed out the features of his heinous face.I looked down, unable to hold his dreary stare, and muttered, “You saved me.”Even in my state, I knew how to act. Humble and grateful. Despite the rage surging inside me like electricity. Fiona had probably gotten what she wanted. An answer to where Lydia was hiding. "Where is my mother?" I further asked."In one of the guest rooms," Vitale answered. "She cou
Savage Passion Reconciliation
ALEXIOS I wasn't sure what I expected to feel next. Perhaps I wanted the rush of emotions to overpower me. Perhaps I wanted to feel her around me once again. It was probably stupid but I had tried it. I grabbed a pillow and sighed whilst staring at the ceiling. I wondered if she was watching now. Selene, alleged mother of the night. The goddess who had done absolutely nothing for me. If she was watching, if she care at all, I wanted her to hear me."I'm trying. I am not a silly defenseless child anymore. For years, I have done without your protection or your so called grace but if you can hear me... If you give two fucks about that innocent girl whose life is currently in danger, You'll give her back to me." I paused, breathing in. I waited, expecting something. A sign. It was either that or having to scout the cemetery for clues. But there was nothing. No miracle. No magic. It was just like I remembered. The goddess was fucking useless. I did want to get to my feet and get to work.
Savage Passion All twigs snap, even great trees
LYDIA The day after Elliot sacrificed his totem to see my mother for my sake, I found peace. For the first time in ages, I finally found it in me to leave this place. It had always been a youthful dream of mine to travel around the world and now that the weight of my mother's murder was off my chest, I found it possible to finally do good on that dream. So I made it known to Elliot during breakfast. Elliot made bacon and eggs. The smell of simmering fat crammed the air. As Elliot passed my plate towards me, I cleared my throat to speak."I have to go and see Vitale today."I watched as Elliot choked on a slice of bacon. I rushed to the kitchen sink and turned the valve, filling a glass with crystal clear water. I rushed back to the side and placed the glass to his lips but Elliot refused it. "What do you mean you want to see Vitale today?""Well... I want to leave town soon." I began, dropping the glass in my hands on the counter. "I didn't reject Vitale. It would be unfair of me to
