SEBASTIAN“Gallagher, if you are brave enough, come embrace your death! Granny is here. Come, give her a hug.”Lettice’s voice sounded threatening throughout the land. Her anger might be justified, but so was our response to fighting back. All of my men were outside, so I entered their minds. Gather quickly and keep her out of the mansion as much as possible! And then I turned to Mother and Teresa. “Hide down in the lab…” I shouted, but that was all I said. Teresa’s gaze hardened and her staring became full of reproaches.“Did I hear it well? Do you want me to run away? Oh, no, this is my fight, too. So stop protecting me. I don’t need it!” She roared, fireballs already appearing in her palms. “Teresa is right, my dear. We are strong, maybe stronger than many of the werewolves in the Kielder Pack. You need us to defeat Lettice!” Mother intervened, and I had to admit that although I feared for their lives, they were right. “Ok, so be it!” “Come on Gallagher, you are keeping grandma
SEBASTIANAFTER A YEAR…The air was cool and fresh as the rain fell slightly from the sky. Now there was another place where I found tranquility, my mother’s grave. I was looking at her resting place as an end to her story here with us and a beginning of a new one in the afterlife.A cold gravestone could never mark her glorious life. She was my support throughout everything. “Your mother is very proud of you, Bash,” Teresa said in a warm voice, placing fresh peonies on her grave. “Right, Dorothea? Grandma is very proud of us all,” and she took the little girl in her arms. She giggled, caressing Teresa’s cheek. My little girl!“Let’s go! I want to visit another grave…”I braced myself for the avalanche of mixed feelings. We didn’t place her in the family’s tomb, but she deserved a proper burial. I walked lightly through the graves to the end of the line.Teresa and our baby girl were quietly following me. And then I saw he was there too. He had no choice but still he was suffering.“
LETTICE “Where am I?” I asked, confused, as if after a fall into the void. But no one answered. I didn’t even know how to describe this place. Lots of fog and a feeling of peace. Could this be heaven? Certainly not. Not after what I did to Sebastian, Teresa, and his family. Or rather, my family. Everything was so quiet here. Nothing hurt anymore. I looked at myself and noticed I had no more wounds. Had Teresa’s magic hurt me, or was it just a dream? Has my great-great-grandson serum worked? Of course it worked! I was once again that beautiful, slender woman with flowing hair like the burning sun and full of life. Only I wasn’t alive anymore. I took a few steps forward. To my amazement, though I knew my physical life on earth was over, I was not afraid to step into the unknown. The further I walked, the more the fog lifted. At one point, everything became so clear that I rolled my eyes in amazement. A realm as if out of my mother’s books when she read me those immortal stories. Th
SEBASTIANThe departure of my sister seemed like a distant memory now. But the events that followed have had a lasting impact on our pack, dividing us in ways we never thought possible. Mother had grown old, and her hair had turned silver while father had died. At one point, the world around us seemed to come to a standstill; the wind ceased, the river stopped flowing, and even the sweet scent of the flowers dissipated.Victoria’s absence left my world feeling colder, but I gradually became accustomed to the change. Whenever I was alone, the ache would resurface, lingering until someone or something distracted me. Walking towards me, she appeared like a silhouette, as if stepping out of the photograph I kept on my nightstand. In the picture, we stood together as a family, a pack with a bond that could not be broken, and memories flooded back of a time when life was simpler. I longed to have her by my side, to share stories and jokes like we once did, but her absence felt like a weigh
SEBASTIAN BellinghamFollowing my father's death, I hastily departed Northumberland and established myself in the charming village of Bellingham, in the North-East of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Being the CEO of a research company, I appreciated the convenience of being closer to work, but what I loved most was the peacefulness of the surroundings. If they presented me with something worth investing in, I was their man. But I was also a researcher, a doctor in science, and helped with whatever I could to make the serum work. Because it all revolved around a serum. An entire team worked with me, including my cousin Liam and Alexander, my Beta.The laboratory was well-funded, and the equipment top-of-the-line, allowing my scientists to develop a wide range of medicines to combat even the most dreadful diseases. Thanks to the bold chemicals developed by my team, we were able to combat illnesses with greater success than ever before. People often questioned why I had picked Bellingham. I prefe
SEBASTIANI wasn’t expecting the serum to actually work. I stayed these three days at the castle with Mother and with Isabella. Her name was Isabella and her beauty was out of this world. She was the sweetest melody in my eyes and ears and it lost me in her charm. During all this time, she hasn’t spoken to me, only fleeting glances here and there. I just loved the way her cheeks colored in pink every time she caught me staring at her.What I felt for her was not love, but pure desire. I knew it sounded rough, but I didn’t mean to dishonor her. True love is the unity of two soulmates and as far as I was concerned, as an Alpha, Bella was not my mate. But she was someone very enjoyable, lovely to look at. I just wished she were more talkative. She was silent and when she was around me; she was as shy as a flower that closes itself at night.One evening, Mother was in the kitchen giving orders for dinner. She asked me to go get Isabella down to the dining table. That was the biggest mista
SEBASTIANA week had passed since I met Bella and cured her. Mother is still thinking if she wishes to work with me. My relationship with Isabella had developed beautifully and harmoniously. Even if she was not my mate, we were getting along just wonderful. In a similar situation was Vicky as well. In my last link with her, she told me about the man with whom she was sharing her life, and she sounded happy. I was also happy for her. I knew Teague for a long time and even though he was not her mate; he was someone I trusted to take care of my little sister. I always teased her that way as Mother told us she was born two minutes later than me. Victoria became stronger, reliable for her own pack. It was a long and heavy path, but my Vicky has always been fierce. We were indestructible together, but now she proved to herself and to our kind that she was strong and ardent in every decision she took.Today I visited Mother and maybe have closure on what I have asked her. I was worried abou
ISABELLABeing so close to him was burning me inside, only the burn was sweeter. They say that if your fated one was near you your body would react in a certain way, that only a Luna could feel. But with Sebastian I didn’t have that feeling, only pure carnal pleasure; and to be honest, I didn’t care. All I’d cared about was him. He was a handsome man from the deep of his blue-sky eyes to the gentle, low expressions of his voice. He was beautiful from the gentle touch of his hand upon my own to the fierce piercing of his gaze.I was ready to give him my heart and keep his heart safe, extending far down to my soul. His freshly shaved beard was like an invitation for my hands to wander in a lustful exploration way up to his neck and lead to his perfect chiseled jawline, getting lost in his manly, firm mouth. His eyes were piercing mine, and it was like storm clouds touched them; that is how blue they were. All I saw in them was desire, no other emotion whatsoever, and I didn’t mind, as t
