Cassandra

Dungeon for a castle.

Cassandra's POV.

I woke up in a white room again, like the one I had seen my mum in. 

"Candra, what are you doing here, you weren't supposed to be summoned yet "I heard my mum say

"what's this place" I asked now standing up and looking around.

I couldn't even see where the room ended, it looked infinite.

"welcome to limbo baby girl, its where supernatural beings come when they die before their time" I heard her answer.

"But you said I wasn't summoned, does that mean i'm dead?" 

I wasn't shocked, I mean it was about time I finally left that wretched place. When my mum didn't answer I turned to look at her.

"You cant die baby girl, you have a lot to do in the world, your life hadn't even begun yet" She said, a little teary.

I walked toward her, holding her in my now thin arms.

"Mum, I'm pretty sure I've had my fair share of life, after you death I can say I've gone through much more than all the people my age have been through. I have learned to live on my own. I have been beaten up by the only person I was that was supposed to protect me. I was nearly raped, twice. I have had the time of my life comforting a hurt wolf but I'm pretty sure I blew it."

"No baby girl, that was just the beginning, that man wasn't even your father, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, but if you die, you won't find the person meant to protect you"

"what do you mean he wasn't my father?" I asked, dismissing every other thing she said. You want to tell me I was beaten up by some random guy who wasn't even my blood relative.

"You have to go baby girl, before the witches find you here, I am going to send you back"

"wai_" 

I didn't even get to finish. I opened my eyes only to find myself in darkness, It took a while to register I was in a bag and was I moving?

I didn't need to piece two and two together, whoever was moving me thought I was dead. I felt anger boil in me that bastard Amare had killed me? I felt a need for blood, I craved it. I could hear four hearts beating. I ripped the bag and grabbed the nearest guy. I slanted his body and pierced his skin with my fangs, wait what, fangs??

I tried my best to get back my control, as soon as I did I heard someone moan. My mind felt hazy I hadn't even realized it was the guy I was holding. I let go of the guy as if he was on fire.

Looking down I saw the guy trying to stand up and that's when I saw his face.

"Ethan?"

Xander's POV

I had been sitting by the pool for the last one hour or so. I kept telling myself that she would come back and hold me in her arms like she had done before. But as time kept passing I kept doubting. Without the warm shirt that had now turned cold in my hand nothing could prove the girl existed.

I had even started to think she wasn't there, maybe it was Alika playing with my head with another illusion. I stood up, finally gathering courage to leave. I would beat the shit out of Amare if he was part of this trick. All I wanted to do was to get my hands on that piece of shit who happened to be my best friend, I thought as I turned.

Dawn was fast approaching, in a few minutes time the sun would be out. I arrived at the alpha's house in about fifteen minutes. I could smell something metallic in the air, was that blood?

I sprinted into the mansion hoping this was just another prank. I was so stupid, I had waited about an hour for a girl yet I didn't realize my people needed me, I'm an alpha for goodness sake,

"Amare! Alika!" I yelled my eyes moving frantically round the room.

"Surprise motherfucker " I heard Amare's voice whisper reply. I turned toward the living room only to see Amare holding a sleeping Alika in his arms. They were laying on the couch like some love dazed couple. I watched Alika who was pouting in her sleep. She was always a bitch but in her sleep it was like she had no sin in the world.

"If you continue staring at my girl I sure as hell will crush your balls to dust" Amare's angry voice sounded in my thoughts.

I almost burst out laughing. Amare had loved Alika since the first day I introduced them to each other in the forest at the pool. Amare never wanted to admit it but he was head over heels for a certain witch. I had teased him a couple of times about it even threatened to tell Alika. The thing is, Amare feared Alika, he said she was the scariest girl he's met. I didn't blame him, Alika wasn't the friendliest person considering her family was killed as she watched, but as soon as she got used to you she would open up.

"well dude, I wish  you told me that when you were shoving your tongue down a brunette's throat yesterday at the club " I said a little angry, Alika wasn't just a fling,

"trust me bro, you knew me even before I knew myself, I wouldn't do that to her" Amare said looking slightly hurt by my comment.

I was about to ask about the smell of blood, when Amare stood up, gently laying Alika on the couch. His shirt was ripped and he had fresh scars, there was blood all over his shirt and jeans. 

"woah dude, I didn't know she liked it that rough. "I was actually shocked, how can a small girl like her cause all that.

"Relax dude" Amare said amidst a chuckle "this wasn't her, she's very submissive in bed just so you know, but I believe you might have a clue who this Godzilla is, she had your scent all over her body, so tell me bro, how much fun did you have last night."

I was shocked, I didn't think I had heard Amare correctly. Was she a  spy for the rogues, was that the reason why she had no scent and attacked Amare. Did she use my scent to get into my own territory.

"where is she" I asked partly curious to learn more about her

I watched as Amare's facial expressions turned to regret and fear. I couldn't decipher his emotions.

"spill it out motherfucker, where is she"

"I might have accidentally killed her"Amare whispered, my werewolf hearing had captured it very clearly.

I was about to loose it, the Moon goddess had fucked up. She finally gives me a girl I'm actually interested in then she gets my best friend to kill her, That was really fucked up.

I didn't even have time to gather my thoughts, I could hear Amare talk in the background but I didn't want to hear anything. I wanted to see her body.

"Where is the body?" I asked cutting his apologies short.

"I ordered some guys to get rid of it at dawn, I thought she had attacked you or something"

Now I was pissed, first of all he kills my girl then gets rid of the body. I was angry and I knew Amare could see it judging from the look on his face. I wasn't the best when I was angry.My father had warned me a lot of times to learn to control it, I was doing a pretty good job on it until now.

I jumped on Amare landing us on the floor, I was about to hit him but I couldn't move my fist. My head turned to the couch only to see Alika holding her hand up, she was smirking.

looking at her calmed me, she looked tired, I mean that was my best friend on the couch looking like she was about to pass out. I let go of Amare and just as I got close to her the door burst open and a prison guard walked in

"She's alive, she just fed off Ethan"

I looked at the guard wondering what she meant. 

"She's a trybrid?" I heard Amare and Alika yell at the same time.

I turned in time to see Amare holding Alika mid air as she lost consciousness, as I felt the grip on my fist disappear entirely.
