Fated to The Northlord

I gently moved a few stray strands of hair from her sleeping face the back of my index and middle finger tracing her cheek, quickly pulling my hand back running the same hand threw my hair. I knew no matter how much I wanted to hold her in this moment there was nothing I could do or say that could take her pain away. I know if she were to let me hold her it wouldn't mean anything to her the way it meant to me. I didn't want her to be alone but I could tell from the sounds and scents coming from her kitchen family members were going to be staying for awhile. Chatting back and forth, cupboards opening and closing they were completely unaware Rebecca had passed out in an upright position on the couch in the front parlor her knees bent to her chest and to the side with one arm gently resting on the arm rest her face lax, pale with red blotches. I could smell the salt from her tears she had cried. She must not be sleeping at night, Not a surprise. As I watched her sleep for what was only a

*Incoming call*Natalie Vega"Alpha the proposal from Mr. Romero is available in your email now I looked it over and seen he attached everything needed but says it urgent. I'm sorry I wouldn't have called otherwise""I will look at it""She should have just sent a message instead of calling" Fenris mumbles"I'm meeting with him at 10am tomorrow correct?""Yes sir that's correct, again I'm sorry for bothering you""Good evening Ms. Vega""Y-Yes sir I hope you have a good night!" clickI rake my hands over my face I hate when she apologizes. I pay her to keep me on track that's what a personal assistant is for to call me when nobody else can reach me. I guess you can say I'm not really empathetic to an apology hearing the words "I'm sorry" sets my teeth on edge.Leo is on the other side of the door I can smell him, Fenris alerts meknock knock knock"Come in" I snap roughly"Good evening Alpha just checking in""Leo I'm relieving you for the night head home and get some sleep""Alpha unf

BEC POV I wake up to rain tapping on the roof the wind blowing against the windows of my bedroom. Everything is still dark but in my room shadows cast on the walls and ceiling from my phone lighting up Unknown Number I blink with one eye closed at the bright light coming from the screen tossing my phone back over the edge of the bed still faced upI groan at the light still being shown on the ceiling, tugging the covers back up not that I needed them I was so hot lately the blanket was more of a comfort being against me making me feel less vulnerable to the world around me. Like I was safe from it all. The smell of Dorian was still clinging to the sheets as if he just left the bed to start his day, but the coldness of the cotton told me other wise. I missed him so much. You never know how much a person affects your life until they are gone just like that no explanation just gone. I feel tears prick the corner of my eyes as I try and blink them away. I think I've cried enough don't y

Trigger warning talk of sexual assault Read at your own riskBEC POVI take a few sips of the hot coffee he brought in, when I put down a few of the reports and point with my index finger to them drawing his attention to them, Ignoring the sick feeling I have since he placed himself next to me."These are all done, for the next few months actually" I raise my eye brow at him hoping he can give me an explanation as to how"Oh that yeah I seen it too, figured Mr. Stone had done it" he shrugged his shoulders"Hmm he could have except he would have mentioned it to me" I blow into the cup to help cool it down and take another few sips letting it stay on my tongue for a few seconds hoping Leland could offer more in sight."when did you first see the overhead costs go into the even numbers?" I questioned him"I'm not sure maybe a month or possibly two?" he turned to me, his eyes locked onto my cup"Did you mention it to anyone?" one more sip I tell myself even though my stomach is empty and

Third Person Pov The air around Connor and Asmodeus was thick, but before Connor could speak Fenris pushed forward. "Explain, NOW!" Fenris's deep gravel voice was laced heavy with alpha command, it being present when he spoke showed to Asmodeus how severe this situation was."It's a tough one to really get into Alpha" Asmodeus spoke calmly every syllable like silk "If I go into to much detail about the prophecy then you'll know to much to soon " His black eyes locked onto Connor's body watching his reaction "What fucking Prophecy?" Fenris's patience was thin to begin with and Asmodeus could sense it, That wolf was as impatient as they came "Your mate is on her way to you, I can divulge that much" Saying that to Fenris Asmodeus knew he would literally be all ears "My Mate? what does she have to do with your Demons Deus? using his pet name"She is the reason my Demons are abandoning their posts, It was prophesied that The Shadow shall be released to the world, and darken every land
