After Alpha Christian left me, I took it upon myself to find the nearest computer to do some research on witches and grimoires.Before today I had never met one personally, it seems I had a lot to learn if I wanted to keep my guard up against stuff like that.Also, I thought the only enemy against our kind was rival packs, silver bullets and bloodsuckers. I've been introduced to witches and I don't like the feeling of helplessness that comes with it.After checking every room I could enter save for the ones that were locked I couldn't find even one computer in sight.They weren't kidding when they said this was a safehouse and nothing more. It might have beautiful interior decoration but it was quite empty.I miss my friends. If I had my phone I would've sent a text or something to Riley but even then I know I couldn't reach her.The thought alone made me sad but I willed myself to focus on the task at hand.When I entered a room that I thought would be my last before I gave up, I sa
I was in a dream. And in that dream, everything was white. A straight white room with nothing in it but me.I tried to scream but my voice wasn't coming out of my mouth. It was a struggle and it felt like I was trying to claw my way out of my body.This had to be a form of torture where they forced you to enter a dream state then make you go crazy by stealing your voice.Then suddenly, I turned around and a wolf I had never seen before started circling me. It kept looking at me with blue green eyes that were a contrast of mine.I noticed it had silver like white fur which was very rare. It had a lightning streak at the side of its body.Walking around and around me like a predator hunting and stalking its prey. I took on a defensive stance,ready for when it pounced.But the wolf looked at me for a few more seconds and opened its mouth to speak. The voice I heard speaking shocked me so much that I didn't hear what she said the first time.“It's time to wake up, Your Highness,” the wol
We were in a very open position on the road. In front of us two cars were positioned to block us.And behind they were cars blocking our exit too. I was on the verge of combursting with how intense the whole situation was.“Oh no” I said, from my side of the car.I looked to Christian to assess the kind of damage we were in. I dare not speak to him right now when the only expression on his face was concerntration.In front of us one of the guards from earlier came down from the car, walked a few feet from it and just stood there.While this was happening, I noticed the men in the driver's seat and passenger seat were eerily quiet too.What were these dangerous people planning exactly? And why were we being targeted over and over again?I was getting fed up of being attacked and captured and tortured by foreign enemies I knew nada about. It was time we fought back.During my internal monologue, I hadn't noticed that Christian had taken off his jacket and unbuttoned the shirt he was wea
"Come on, we're going to be late!" I screamed excitedly as I struggled to put on my shoes.I was excited about the party we had planned for so long!"I'm going to leave you, Riley!" I said scowling dramatically.I bite my lip as I look at my reflection in the mirror.I look so good…tonight is going to be so fun and memorable.As Riley made her way down the staircase, a string of expletives flowed out from her lips, leaving me intrigued about her current state of mind."Ugh, oh my gosh" Riley exclaimed as she continued down the stairs toward meThe tone of her voice and the words she used conveyed a sense of frustration, anger, or perhaps disappointment. It was clear that something was bothering her, and I couldn't help but wonder what it was. "What's wrong?" I asked a little skeptical about the interaction.What is going on with her now?As she walked away, a sense of helplessness washed over me. I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was bothering her deeply, but I didn't k
The silence that followed was deafening, and my mind was racing with a million thoughts. My heart raced and my mind couldn't comprehend what was happening.Why was Alpha Christian looking at me like that? And what did he say?I held my breath, waiting for him to say something else. But instead, he kept his gaze fixed on me as if he was searching for something deep within my soul. His eyes were intense, yet casual, and I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking.Damon, his Beta, whispered something in his ear, causing him to finally look away from me. At that moment, I felt as though I had been released from a hypnotic spell.What the hell was that?I wasn't sticking around to find out.Next thing I know, the once-empty room is now abuzz with excitement. Everyone seems to have found their mate, except for me, of course. As I scan the room, my eyes land on Riley, who is staring intently at a guy across the room.Curiosity getting the better of me, I creep up to her quietly, just to
“Where am I?”I whispered, trying to stand up but it was proving hard to do.My bones were weak and it felt like I had been drained of every drop of blood in my body. I tried to remember the last thing that happened and how I ended up here. Where was here anyway? I was in some kind of cellar thing. No windows, one door. Chains on top and the floor and upon looking I realize my hands were chained to the ceiling and my feet to the floor. What the hell? Turning my head from left to right trying to understand my surroundings.“Ouch, that hurts so much,” I said, panting slowly. Even speaking hurts a little too much. The last thing I remember is I was in front of my house when I heard someone.Wait, was I kidnapped? What happened last night? Where is everybody?“Hello! Is anybody there?” I said as loudly as my voice could allow me to.Struggling I tried to get up on my feet, but something was weighing me down. I succeeded and I noticed the iron door to the place I was kept immediately
The voice I heard was definitely Riley. It brought tears to my eyes to know that she was close by.I took in a deep breath and asked, “Are you okay?... Where are you? What's going on?” “I'm so glad I can hear you,” she said and she was crying, “I thought you were dead C” “Me too Ri and I didn't know what to do,” I said, clutching my chest in desperation.I had been wearing the same clothes for God knows how long and it was evident from the way I smelled. I required a hot shower."It's obvious that they had a specific target in mind, and they had inside help," she said confidently, her voice steady despite the intensity of the situation. "But we're not going to let them get away with this. We're going to figure out who they are, what they want, and how we can stop them. We won't rest until we've got this all under control.”It had to have been an inside job because everything happened so fast.My mind was swirling with different possibilities and to say I was scared was an understat
Everything seems to be out of my control. I was captured by a power-hungry man and his boy-crazy sister who thinks I'm the Alpha's mate. Things couldn't possibly be worse.Meanwhile, back home the men were packed at Alpha Christian's house, things were intense right now. People were taken from their homes and no one could answer how that was possible.The elders were furious. They needed answers and solutions, and most people were out for blood. “How could you allow this to happen?!” Marlow asked. “They took my daughter right from the doorstep of my home. How could that have happened? You're supposed to keep us safe!”Christian was deep in thought while everyone else was going berserk in the room.He couldn't understand how anybody could make it across the border without the alarm going off. They had men there for these things.Which made him think something was up! Who could've tipped those guys off and why?No one came to mind at all which caused him more discomfort. Someone had es
