Vanessa's POV :
There's a sudden flash as my head's splitting up in two , what is happening everything around is just blur as I try to focus only to hear a giggle , a giggle I recognize very well , a giggle I missed a lot in the recent days . As my vision clears and I focus into the surroundings I see the familiar faces , faces I grew up with , faces that has shared infinite amounts of memories with me .
our old faces.
I look around to see we are where it all started, in the god forbidden restaurant but the only change is instead of split open heads I look at the faces which are filled with satisfaction of good meals ,as I look down I see wine glasses and empty plates .
Just then I notice Jenny turning towards me.
" what happened Vanessa are you drunk already ? so are we , lets return home shall we " she asked smiling at me
what ?
Then what about everything that happened ?
witches , our new faces , our ....mates ?
It was all nothing ?
That never happened , it was all a dream ?
A drunken dream . But it was so real , the pain , the betrayal , the feeling of helplessness , everything , everything about it , I thought I lost them .
I thought that every single effort I put through to save us from all the obstacles I faced were useless , but not anymore . I have them , they were not whipped , not burned , not tortured , not betrayed , not ....raped .
NOO!!
they are safe in front of me , right in front of me . happy as ever . I will save us here , I will put everything to keep us safe , we will make our forest house life come true , I will protect them.
I could see Natasha trying to wipe of my tears with drunken giggles. making me laugh . I wouldn't confine their life in the name of protection let them see the world let them have all the stupid things they wanted , a game setup whatever they wanted .
Just then all of their drunken giggles grew a little dizzy making me laugh
Yes we are not in a different fucking world , we are still where we were ,safe as we should be , nothing changed , we are safe.
we are ok.
Realizing that they are drunk enough and I need to take them home now , I need to call a taxi on Uber ,start to taking them outside the restaurant ,one by one , I'm the only one not drunk so-
Wait , but I am drunk . And we never drink all of us at the same times so at least we have one person who are in their senses then why the hell are all of u drunk at the same time . Just as I was contemplating what was happening . The server came with the bill
" cash or card mam " he asked , but I felt that the voice was very oddly familiar and when I raised my head , I saw my walking nightmare , Noah
IN FUCKING FLESH
Nononono....Just as I turned my head all my sisters faces turned into the one from dreams
No , please please I don't want this to be a dream , please god no, no no no....
when I turned to look around every single persons face turned to Ezra , Simon , Hayden
I started to hyperventilate and thrash, please god kill me ,kill us rather then sending us back to that place
please...
but I had a feeling that just like every single time, none of my prayers would be answered this time...
----------------------------------------
Noah's POV:
Its been two weeks
two weeks since I committed the biggest sin of my life,
two weeks of self loathe,
two weeks since I found how useless my existence is.
two weeks of pure torture
two weeks of seeing her thrashing everyday in her bed , lifeless
two weeks of me seeing the damage of my insolence
two weeks as I see life fade off little by little in my brothers
two weeks of no glimpse of her eyes,
two weeks of taunting eyes of people from the kingdom's people screaming "We said so , yet you never listen"
two weeks since I've been kneeling in the church every single day asking , every supreme power to give me one chance to redeem myself, ourselves .
two weeks since she is in coma laying still yet still ethereal, out of this world.
two weeks since she laid there lifeless with all her sisters in a huge king size bed .
Since we deprived ourselves out of their shadows and put them in a place where we knew , they would feel the presence of someone who will give them a reason to fight ,
fight against fates , fight against gods , fight against universe , fight against death . Themselves , their sisters . For whom they will put everything on stakes .
I never knew I could hate myself this bad , everyday of uncertainty and her shouting in her coma , pleading the god , all of the sisters were , everyday of doctor muttering "another close call"
the things I would do to just turn the time around trust my loyal soldiers , trust my people, trust my mate.
my eyes teared , did I even deserve calling her my mate anymore ?
I feel not in the long shot , but..
but I just cannot , after knowing that everything and the horrendous thing I have done to her , I know she wouldn't want to see me .
But I'm selfish bastard , after every devilish thing I did , after I know that she is my true mate, I can't let her go . And this would be another reason for her to hate me , another small drop in her sea of hatred for me , but I will be right here , beg for her , worship her like she is supposed to be , crawl at her feet like she-
like she did at her supposed to be last moments .
Just thinking about those moments shattered me all over again.
I will do everything , anything other than letting go to redeem myself . but I wont let her go ,not in a million years , not in any lifetime
cause deep down I know that I will have her back even if I let her go , I will turn into a forever tormenting soul around her excellent existence if I had killed myself , that there is no escaping from my devils for her .
Broken or boon , she was , is , will be mine from the moment I laid my fucking eyes on her and no fates or red threads or destinies can change that , her soul was marked mine before neither her nor me knew , she was mine to kill or keep to whatever till forever
If she was a witch , mine to punish ; if she is my soulmate , mine to heal .
no matter what , she is mine .
now I was sitting on the floor right next to her holding her hand , wishing yet another day for her to open those beautiful pair of eyes , to give me something I knew I was not worth of in a million years .
Hope
As I was feeling the delicate lines of her hand with my forbidden presence near her , I could feel her shake and whimper but not the previous one , this was weak . It made her look so vulnerable , and as on queue all the girls started whimpering the same way. And I yelled for the doctors to come . They came running like their life depends upon it which as a matter of fact it does , not only theirs but their entire families with no exception.
Just like that all of the sisters started whimpering , I always wondered if they were somehow connected with each other souls , because it was not possible even for me and my brothers to be so in sink with our bodies , but here they were thrashing and whimpering at the same time
The doctors came checking their pulses and eyes as they brought syringes near their shoulders
"what's wrong " Simon asked
"It looks like her highnesses are gaining back their consciousness , you highness . congratulations , now all they need would be a proper diet for healing all the weakness and at least 3 months of complete bed rest given that they are humans and they will be in good form in no time " he said smiling
they are ? they are really coming into consciousness ?
He is telling me they will actually open their eyes ? that she will open her beautiful eyes that enchanted me without any bewitchery , that she will once again have light of life back in her eyes , that I no longer have to see her slowly fading right in front of my eyes while I lay here helpless
no way , cause the moon Goddess would not put the misery out of us and give the most beautiful boon to someone like me , a Satan who has crossed all the borders of sin one could actually make , I know I'm not someone who should be forgiven as a matter of fact
but the goddess will forgive us ?
he is lying
he definitely had to , so he could save his family . As I was about to point that out I heard a growl that shattered through the thick air
"Lunas" Ezra said with eyes so red I never saw
"they are your Lunas , so will you address them not 'her highnesses' , and now are you lying to us because you want to save your lives ,if so you are strongly mistaken " he said in such an assertive voice that it would have shocked the normal wolves to the core and so it did . Everyone except the one doctor he was addressing who looked dead in his eyes that held so many feelings , hatred being a glimpse.
"I'm sorry , your highness but as you know old habits die hard , and by all means I'm doing complete justice by calling them ,her highnesses after you made it your personal mission to make every single one of us call them names as I quote
' call them only by the titles they deserve and not something that will ruin the royal prestige , call them bitches and whores for all I care '
and appointed the guards to see that , it is as a matter of fact happening, even though we so desperately wanted to call them our Lunas back then . so with all due respect I don't think that you are in any position to tell us not to disrespect them and no I'm not trying and lying to you to save mine or my family lives , because we the people of the dukedom who lived under John are more then loyal to our Queens then you would know .
we are expecting her highness to come back to consciousness any moment now , so if you would excuse me , I would step out to give them some necessary air while we go out and tell my wife the good news , that all her prayers are actually being answered "
He said and left us alone with our lifelines , lying on the beds , I know that he knew as a matter of fact that we could actually behead his entire family, but I also knew that he would not care , and the meaning of his words hanging high in the air.
He was not rejecting to give them the respect of the Lunas . No . He just rejected us as his alphas and their kings and indirectly implied that the only royalty they consider as of now is them.
That was undeniable disrespect there ,but we knew we did not receive one . The doctors clearly know the condition of the girls, the torture they have been through , they changed the dressing every single day and inspected the wounds of our committed sins on their already delicate , whipped , burned , bruised body .
I could still remember the look in the doctors eyes , now I know why , he is basically from the people who worship them .
I felt like shit , for not noticing something our entire kingdom did , for falling into something so basic actually knowing of the chances , that I did not give her a fucking chance to defend themselves against the fucking bitches who left a message as I quote
"enjoy the mating gift " .
The way my blood boiled when I saw that .
but now we have hunted an entire lair of white witches and made the best quality of protection around the palace and purified their very fucking presence with a ritual ,we tried to wake and heal the girls with the magic but to our misery , they couldn't heal them completely
yet we still ate what was thrown at us and asked them to heal them the best they could, now there were no open wounds on the girls skin yet the whips and burn marks, made some tiny ugly scars , that potray the never ending strength they showed .but we did ask why couldn't they heal the wounds completely the answer left our souls shivered
"they are the wounds that are attached to their souls alpha , something they felt through every single ounce of their souls , we cannot heal such wounds " was what they said , even though it broke us it just fueled our need to catch the bitches
All that is left now is to hunt the fucking bitches from the deepest cells of hell and give the hell a new name with the manslaughter , we are about to create.
But as of now we have different things to bother our selves with , because now the long waited moment is about to unleash ,as our head is pounding in two different feelings.
Happiness for us to finally look at them out of danger , fear and self disgust for the apparent look they are about to gives us
I know we deserve it ,I know they have every rights to do so , but I still cannot stomach the non-escapable moment.
--------------------------------------------
Simon POV:
None of my brothers are ready for what is about to happen , for us to feel the same feelings they went through for all the two months , and it is not even the physical pain we are talking about , it's the heart clenching pain of rejection which we are about to feel , the rejection which we are actually facing from our wolves , the entire nation. I could take it from every single one of them cause I know I did the sin , and would do anything and everything in my power to make it right , but the thought of her rejecting me , tarnishes every single thought of sanity hanging on its last threads, the feeling of helplessness they felt every single day which all of us made sure they would .
The gods definitely knew to get back with it in tenfold .
Karma is indeed a bitch .
And then it happened there was a whimper as Vanessa sighed big , like she has been relived of something dire , but on the other hand .Noah's breathe got stuck .
We know that this is a long awaited moment and yet , a moment we were scared of .
I could see that whatever the medicine he injected was working as there were multiple frowns on their faces with a very little groans. We could see their eye lashes wet with the unshed tears of pain as they tried to open their eyes , we were all waiting to at least one of them open their eyes .
And just then Natasha's eyes flustered as she was trying to open them with all her strength , the windows were open for the very necessary air they needed , which also made her lips parched, the first thing she did even before she opened her eyes was to wet her lips . She slowly opened her eyes with a squint , as she started to take in her surrounding with a daze
just as she looked at her surroundings , she made eye contact with me . Talked nothing , didn't show the fear that was brewing with every single second in her heart , which her hands failed to hide as she clenched into the bed-sheets.
There was something more hard and worse then them hating us , a stage before the hatred actually showed up, Fear.
she was scared of me .
Just when someone in the girls groaned, the girls started to move closer to each other as they cuddled each other , which at a different times may be us brothers would find adorable and cute , which now is a sight of vulnerability to us.
Then Vanessa asked the question no one were expecting from her.
"when are we about to be put on fire alive ? "
The question hung heavy in the air as there was moist collecting in the eyes when my mate spoke
" c-can we spend with each o-other one last time , one l-last day before we are burnt "
