Serenity's p.o.v
I was pushed roughly, the ropes must have been supplied by a wizard since I couldn't break through them. Alex beside me was watching Cassanova intently, as if he was trying to find her weakness but thanks to my memories of my past life, I knew, she had none.
Brandon and Violet were also being pushed by men dressed in all black, some of them were human and others were my own people. Violet seemed to have fallen into submission from fear, or perhaps it was something else, while Brandon's face had scrunched up in a grimace of pain, watching his mate be in a state of weakness.
Soon, Brandon and Violet were dragged down a separate hallway from us and Alex and I entered a large room with weapons.
"Let's have some fun shall we?" Cassanova says as she turns around to face us, glee in her eyes
Cassanova motioned towards a wall with chains. The men stripped my armor off and put me in other clothes a brown skirt with a white blouse, then they hoisted me up and tied me securely while the rest tied Alex tightly to a chair.
"You know, in your last life, you killed my mate." Cassanova stated in a light tone, walking slowly towards Alex and gliding the flat of the blade she was holding softly across his vulnerable throat, "I was thinking of so many different ways to kill you."
She murmured softly, walking in circles around him, "When was the last time your mate fed?" she inquired. I went rigid, still strapped to the wall and Alex's form immediately tensed up, "It's been a while hasn't it?" Cassanova chuckled darkly before walking towards me.
"You attempted to kill me." she giggled, tracing the dagger softly near my navel, "I wonder, how would you feel if I stole your mate? Make him love me instead of you?"
She walked away from me, walking towards a table full of vials with liquids and powders, "Unfortunately for me, before I can get my revenge on both of you, I need to get rid of this awful girl in my head." she muttered while picking up a vial full of blue liquid, drinking it in one go.
The next thing that happened was horrific, it was as if Cassanova was being split right in half. Soon, a figure formed, a girl-like figure. It was as if she was clawing her way out of Cassanova's body.
Soon a woman landed heavily on the ground and Cassanova laughs maniacally. The girl on the ground coughs violently, shuddering. Her hair was like a curtain around her face and I froze when she rose her head to face me.
Electric blue eyes, ebony black hair and skin that was pale after years of not going under the sun.
"Milan?"

Violet's p.o.v
I stumbled slightly once Brandon and I were pushed into a lit up room and left there.
"Mph.." Brandon grunted and I look at him, he nods his head and I shuffle closer to him, he attempts to grab at my ropes two times, succeeding on the second.
He unties them quickly and I rip off the gag that had been placed in my mouth. I grab his gag and rip it off as well and he yelps out quietly out of surprise. After, I test out how strong the ropes around him were, turns out that they were made to resist werewolf strength, I could easily rip them, so I did.
Immediately, Brandon engulfs me into a hug and buried his face into my neck, nuzzling it. I put my arms around him and tears roll out of my eyes slowly,
"I thought that they would kill you, I was so worried." I whimper into his ear softly. He pulls away from me slightly.
He strokes my cheek softly with his thumb, his eyes raking across my face as if he wanted to memorize my every feature. The look in his eyes was hungry, greedy, devouring my essence and leaving me aching for him. Just as our lips brushed against each others, there was a slow chuckle.
"Well I must admit, when my weapon told me that you two had accepted each other, I didn't think she was serious." A figure appeared from the shadows, his hair was the color of stars, silver and white, his eyes were blood red and stared at me.
"Hello my dear, which would you like for me to call you, Martina or Violet." he asks, taking an elegant step towards me and Brandon.
Suddenly, the man approached with blinding speed, he loomed over me and I shrunk into Brandon's arms which were still around me. The man waves off to the side and three people rushed towards us, taking Brandon's arms and holding him tightly as he struggled to get back to him.
"My name is Nicholas." he takes my hand and kisses it. His eyes scanned my facial features, "You'll make do."
"W-what do you mean." I whisper.
"I mean that you qualify to be my bride, not that I would have refused to take you, or that you have a choice." he says with a smile.
He nears my face, bringing a hand to my chin and gripping it tight, leaving me no room to struggle. He crashes his lips onto mine forcefully. Tears slip out of my eyes and I hear Brandon growling aggressively.
I tried to push him away but he was too strong, his other hand made its way to my waist and squeezed it tight.
There was a low growl and the thudding sounds of men. Nicholas pulled away from me in a hurry, I heard the ripping of fabric and I was pushed to the ground, hitting my head hard on the ground as I land.
I looked up through teary eyes to see a wolf tackling Nicholas, I could feel my head pulsing before my eyes start to close. I slipped in and out of consciousness, seeing scenes of chaos between the two species.
I could feel blood hitting me before I saw a type of liquid being splashed onto Brandon, followed by the piercing shriek of Nicholas who dropped to the ground.
I could hear Serenity's soft voice before fully dipped into unconsciousness.

Serenity's p.o.v
"Milan?" my voice came out in a hoarse whisper, I couldn't believe it, Alex's first love wasn't dead. From the look on Alex's face, I could tell he couldn't believe it either.
"I- you." her voice was rough and her eyes went from me to Alex to Cassanova, "You ruined my life." she screamed and launched herself towards Cassanova who side stepped easily and dodged her.
The Queen of Vengeance quickly grabbed Milan and dragged her closer to the ropes that had been discarded when I was being tied to the wall. Milan was tied up quickly, unable to do anything anymore in her vulnerable state.
Alex and I made eye contact again, his eyes showed confusion, frustration and anger. I tried to mind link him, only to find out that the chains cut off the mental connection between us.
"Now, I'll get to you later, for now, let's dance shall we?" Cassanova says while approaching me with a smile.
She traces a finger near my neck, her nails growing longer and slicing my neck deeply, black-red blood spilling out and soaking my clothes. I didn't flinch, not giving her the satisfaction of my pain. Her eyes burn with fury and she drove the nearest thing, which so happened to be a dull metal rod, to her into my shoulder, making me scream in surprise.
I leaned forward, pain clouding my mind slightly, my blood dripped out slowly from my wound onto the ground before stopping when Cassanova rips out the rod.
"There we go, that scream that I've been longing to hear for over a millennia, absolute music to my ears." Cassanova says lowly.
She dances to the nearest rack of tools, grabbing another rod, holding it over the fire in the furnace to heat it up before driving it into my stomach. In and out. I choke out another scream, blood dripping onto the ground and through my clothes again before everything healed up again.
"How fun, isn't this fun?" Cassanova laughs like a child receiving candy before gliding towards Alex, grabbing a dagger on the way before slicing his forearm, making blood swell up
I look up to the ceiling, trying to resist the urge to go and drink the blood that had slowly started to stop flowing.
After a while of Cassanova dancing in between us, stabbing me then proceeding to slice Alex, the man with electric blue eyes, looking similar to Milan's that I had seen earlier came into the room.
"My lady, here is the weap-.." he trails off when he sees the small figure in the room, "M-Milan? What are you- How are you still alive?"
"Brother.." she whimpers weakly, Cassanova's gleeful smile wavers.
"What are you waiting for Shadow?! Give me the lighter or whatever it's called!" Cassanova says with barely controlled anger.
The man, Shadow, had emotions flying up across his face before determination settled in, he turned around slightly and threw the lighter away.
"No, you told me my sister was dead and that the Alpha killed her. The only reason I followed you and served you was to get revenge on him for killing Milan." he burst out.
"Prepare to die then." Cassanova snarls and lunges towards Shadow.
Shadow spins to dodge and grabs the nearest thing he had beside him, grabbed Cassanova just as she spun around to face him and stabbed her through the heart.
She gasps, pulling away and bringing a shaky hand to the stake embedded deep in her heart. Shadow picked her up effortlessly and brought her to the large furnace. He opened the door up and tossed her in with a cold face, Cassanova's screams echoing in the room before it went oddly silent.
Shadow untied Alex first, he looked between Milan and me with confusion. I could feel a bile rise in my throat. Alex's stood there for a few more seconds before going over to me. He undid my chains, catching me as I fell down from the wall into his warm arms.
I clutched his neck, hugging him tight. His hand goes to my waist, clutching it. We both sink down slowly and I started to cry.
"I was so scared. I thought I would loose you."
"It's okay baby, I'm here." he murmurs in my ear, stroking my hair.
"Violet." I gasp, "we need to find Violet." I clutch my skirt and struggle to get up before sinking down again, weak from all the blood I had lost.
"Drink first." he whispered, pushing my face to his neck.
I held him gently, drinking slowly and carefully. His sweet blood quenching my thirst. I take out my fangs from his neck, retracting them . I lick his wound, coating it in a thin layer of saliva to make it heal quicker.
"Let's go." he said when I looked him in the eye.
I looked to the side and saw Milan looking at the both of us with sadness in her eyes. Her eyes see the ring on both our fingers and the sadness seemed to amplify. Guilt fills me and I look away.
"Let's go find Violet and Brandon." I murmur.
I stood up, grabbing a stake on the way out and run out to the hallway and into the one where I saw Violet and Brandon being dragged into.
When we got into the room, I saw my fiance from my past life, Nicholas throwing a vial full of liquid at the wolf, Brandon. I scream, tackling Nicholas and driving the stake into his heart. He gives a piercing shriek and collapses. I glance over at Violet and scan her quickly to make sure she wasn't hurt before returning my attention to Brandon.
I rushed over to Brandon to see what the liquid had done before freezing when he morphed back, burns, boils and blisters covering his skin. I look up to Alex with worried eyes.
"Poison of Times."
~~~ A/N ~~~
You guys would be mad if I killed Brandon off right?
Don't worry, I won't... or maybe I will...
Love you all, have a nice quarantine!
Yours truly,
