The Revenge

Chapter 11

I stood still, frozen to the spot. This was bigger than my revenge. A worldwide war only meant one thing. A death. With werewolves, especially Torben wanting all the power he could get, I should have seen it coming. Humans will be caught in the middle of it. They won't have a chance. They will pay the ultimate price.

“This should be interesting” I heard Celeste behind me snapping me out of my thought. I turned around to face her. Mattias stood next to her. His hand draped over her shoulders.

"Ya, that’s not going to end well,” said Sin emerging right behind them with his eyebrows furrowed. He stood next to them.

Isobel appeared right next to me "Just can’t wait for some fun” she said excitedly, nearly jumping up and down on the spot. Her eyes shimmered with happiness and a huge smile adorned her face.

We all stared at her our mouths hanging open, stunned and speechless.

"What?? There is going to be music and alcohol. Not to mention hot guys.” She wiggled her eyebrows, clearly excited at the thought. ”It’s been years since we attended any kind of party.”

We were all still staring at her in disbelief, frozen to the ground. She noticed our facial expressions as irritation washed over her and snapped "who cares about the werewolves” her hands flew into the air above her dramatically.

With that, she turned on her heel and walked away. I just blinked my eyes trying to shake what Isobel just said.

"Wow...I didn't see that coming" said Sin as he watched Isobel's retreating body.

Celeste suddenly asked, “Reine, have you been in the city?”

“No, not yet”

“Would you like to go? I need to get out of this place for a few hours” her eyebrows furrowed.

" Yea I’d love that actually” I was more than happy to get out of the house and explore the city.

"Care to join us? ” her icy blue gaze turned to Mattias and Sin.

"Ya count me in,” Sin's black eyes met mine. I raised an eyebrow at him.

“Me too,” answered Mattias, putting his arm around Celeste's shoulders. She kissed him on his cheek.

“Me three,” said Sasha as he appeared next to Sin, crossing his arms on his chest.

"What about Isobel, should we ask her too?” my eyes snapped to Celeste.

"I’ll ask her” she offered.

Sprawled on my bed like starfish, my mind swirled from the news. My whole body was tense at the thought of Torben being in the same room as me. After finding out he was the reason my baby girl and Luca were dead, I couldn't even bear to see his face. Undesirable rage began to fill my entire body when I imagined his smug face. My fingers curled tightly into a fist, my knuckles were the colour white and my nails dug into my palms. I fought the urge to lay still on the bed. If I did get up with so much rage, there was no telling what would I do. I wanted to smash things and best someone so badly, preferably Torben. I just hoped I wouldn't run into him, I wouldn't be able to control myself.

It’s been years, he sure won't remember me. I thought to myself. Once the rage slowly ebbed away I signed, absentmindedly reaching for the necklace around my neck, adoring the art of the wooden eagle as my mind flooded memories of my loved ones.

Forty-five minutes later I walked down the stairs. I changed into a white flowy shirt with leather leggings and a light black coat that ended at my knees, leaving my hair flowing freely on my back paired with my favourite combat boots.
