As soon as I opened it my heart stopped. My foot was rooted to the ground as I stood paralyzed in fright. My breathing became shallow and my mind went blank for a second without thinking I shifted into my lycan and ran as fast as I could within a minute I was standing in front of the restaurant. I could hear distant voice coming from the forest that belonged to my family, I shifted back instinctively.
I stumbled back in terror, looking at my once normal restaurant to now be set in huge horrors of flames consuming ever part of it.
In no time Oliver along with dad, Gina were by my side.
Third person’s POV
Amell couldn’t believe his eyes, he has never in years seen his daughter in such shock. He pulled his daughter to his chest, “Years of hard work has been set inflame papa..” she said with teary eyes looking at her father. He pulled her face close to his chest as she cried.
‘Call the Huntsons’ Amell mind-linked his mate who nodded back at him and began typing on the phone. As soon as she said that the restaurant is on flames a portal opened and the elder Huntsons came followed by Ariana, Sebastian and their pack.
Earl opened a portal above the flammed restaurant and water started pouring like it was coming from a huge water fall, which it did.
Sebastian approached Nora who was crying in her father’s chest. Nora pulled away from her father and looked deeply into the ground. Everyone was cautious, they know how much Nora has sacrificed to build up this restaurant. It was Nora’s everything. Even in the worst of times, the restaurant was there with her. It helped her to cope up with her dark side, even if it wasn’t alive, this restaurant was an emotion. And nobody hurts Nora Huntsons and gets away with it.
“Where is my phone?” She asked Oliver. Who shook his head, “I-i don’t know.. you must have dropped it on the way” he replied to her. She ran back to the pack house without glancing back at the ruins of her hard work. They huffed again and followed the lead of Nora.
She picked up her phone from where she shifted to her lycan. She opened the app and rewind the security footage, she could feel everyone surrounding her looking at her phone in curiosity.
Her eyes burned with rage when she saw the culprits.
No matter how much you try to tame a wild wolf, sometimes what it really needs is not a chance but a bullet in it’s head.
Nora learnt that now.
“Briana” she growled loudly as her eyes turned the horrifying white. The demon in her had taken over her.
Everyone back away from her in terror, when Sebastian tried to approach her, he was held back by Amell, “Only blood can satisfy her now”
***EXTREME TRIGGER WARNING***
The club was mildly crowded when Thomas entered. With a thumping head and a heavy heart he quietly walked to the bar and sat down with an acknowledging nod to the bartender. His head was throbbing painfully, with all the emotions going around, he was sure his brain would burst any moment now.
He has been a fake since the start. He was the ‘golden boy’. Everyone expected the best from him and that was the problem. Expectations. Initially he also fed off the lies, he did too believe what others thought him. A part.. very very very small part of him knew better. He was not. But he didn’t understand that part quick enough, at least not untill it was too late.
It wasn’t their fault that he became the monster he is. It was his. He made a choice. And that’s exactly why he is where he is now. The parents who’s eyes used to lit up with pride everytime they saw him now sneers at him in disgust. All the people around him who used to once pat his back in praise is now snickering Everytime he walks by. He has lost his kids in a battle, his wife is withdrawn from him. And all of this because because he is a eunuch.. or is it?
It is and also the fact that.. he killed his sister and watched their own do it. He was a monster. It wasn’t untill he held his kids for the first time he understood what had he done. What he had let them do. The dire mistake he made.
He remembers the day vividly, the day he lost himself. The day he lost his kids. Even after the rouge attacked him and snatched a part of him, all his concern was his kids. His two little ray of lights, the only one he really loved.
He cried silently as he crawled through the maze of dead bodies and hid under one whenever a rouge would be around. Only he knows how his life was dangling by a single thread but all he could think was the safety of his kids. His entire world turned upside down when he saw his young kids shredded into pieces. It was a parents worst nightmare, and unfortunately for him it came true.
His hatred for everyone around him increased, he knew he made a mistake but his choices but that didn’t give the goddess any right to take away his kids lives. They were just babies, couldn’t even utter a fucking word. They were innocent. But not for that woman who calls herself the moon goddess. They were just pawns in her game to make him feel worthless and powerless. And she did a fine job in doing that.
The only one he couldn’t hate was his mate.
Ah a joke of a mate she is! That woman didn’t even cry for the death of her kids. The same kids that she carried in her womb for months. Initially he thought it was her way of dealing with the situation with the lack of emotional connection she had with them but no. She is just that. An emotional-less shell. He was just disappointed.
He gulped the fourth glass down and sighed in frustration, “It’s too fine of a glassware to be broken by you” a voice snorted. He released the breath he was holding, time to make things right.
“Did you call me here just to show that your glare couldn’t even brake a fragile Christmas glass?” she said sarcastically as she sat down. Thomas looked up at the familiar grey eyes that have been riding his nightmare for 13 years now.
“Nora” he acknowledged her with a nod
“Thomas” she replied with a sarcastic smile.
There was a few minutes of silence, “Seriously dude! Our judicial system works faster than you!” she snapped at him. Who just rolled his eyes.
“Still impatient, I see” he chuckled, a light that had been gone for years just came back.
“Still stupid and beating around the bush I see” Nora said and ordered a glass of wine.
He sighed, “Nora, I am sorry.” He whispered
“Is that why you called? To apologize?” She asked nonchalantly.
“Don’t you think it’s too early to make amends?” The corner of her lips tilted into a smirk.
His head automatically fell down in shame. Tears had gathered around his eyes, he never thought it would be as hard as it is. His heart squeezed with hatred for himself as a sob left his mouth.
“Why now?” His head snapped to Nora who was glaring at him with loath making him flinch.
“Why now after all this time? Why after a year you knew I was alive? Why now?” She spat vemon at him.
He looked at her in shock, “H-how did you know?” He asked making her snicker humourlessly.
“What did you think? You’re the only ones keeping eye on the ‘enemy’?” She mocked air coated the last word.
“You’re not an ene–”
“WHY!!!” She yelled banging her first on the table. The anger in her had now taken complete control of her. She was shaking in rage, her lycan howling-growling to tear the man I front of her apart.
“BECAUSE I WAS SCARED, OKAY? I was scared to confront you sooner. I was chickening out every time I thought about talking to you!” He said as the tears he was holding leaked out of his eyes like a free flowing river.
She scoffed at him folding her arms, “And I believe you” she said with a sneer. He shut his eyes tightly, “I know nothing I can say or do can make things better or change the past. But please hear me out!” He begged with his hands clasped together. Nora’s nose twitched with anger. She fisted her hands as her nails digged into her palm.
“No matter what you say, it won’t reverse what has ready happened. And you my dear, dear brother are and always will be a murderer. Murderer of his own sister! And even though you didn’t rape me, it still makes you a rapist. Because you just stood there, watching me.. Being. Degraded, with a fucking smile” she sneered at him and got up to leave. Her lycan had unleashed herself, trembling in exorbitant rage and there are too many people here for her to kill him.
“Nora wait please!!” He begged as she dashed out of the club with him hot on her trail.
“Nora! Please! Give me a chance! At least let me explain my self” he begged her. She let out a warning growl, her eyes had turned devilishly white when she saw one of her murderers.
