Love Also Breathes In Hate

He is coming back!!

Rose

There was darkness all around, I was running in the forest, escaping under branches and jumping over bushes.

Sweat was coating my whole body not just not just from the fast running, but from fear as well. My cheeks were covered with tears. I was constantly looking back to check whether they were following me or not.

All I could think of at the time was to save myself from those monsters.

“R…run...” that's all my mommy managed to say before that devil killed her painfully.

After running for about 45 minutes, I was panting hard. There were cuts and bruises on my arms and legs, most were bleeding.

A deep cut on my temple was making me feel a bit dizzy and the blood wouldn't stop flowing.

I didn’t know where I was, but it seemed safe, so I sat down near a lake to catch my breath, after assessing that there was no one around. My mind drifted back to the event that occurred a few hours ago.

Thinking about what just happened? Why did it happen?Why?!!

The whole scene flashed before my eyes, the cries, the pain, the blood and deaths.

Death of my friends. Death of my family.

I tried to stop myself from replaying that horrific incident but I couldn't.

A voice pulled me out of the havoc in my mind as I suddenly heard them, “ROSE!” I froze on the spot.

”ROSE, BABY COME OUT WE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE.”

I was trembling, shaking my head in refusal. My eyes filled with newly formed tears and made their way down my cheeks accompanying the old ones that hadn't even dried yet.

My heartbeat was pounding like a drum in my ears. I was thinking about where to go but there was no place to hide. What should I do? I don't wanna die.

I got up as fast as I could and rushed behind the big tree in an attempt to save myself.

There was no sound, other than the *voices* sound of crickets, dogs howling, the rustle of dry leaves as the wind blew, and the sound of waves in the lake.

I started thinking that maybe they had gone. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice when one of them found me, standing just a few meters away. My eyes widened,beads of sweat formed on my forehead and the air grew cold around me.

I shrieked and started crying.

He had some fresh blood stains on his clothes, his skin was white as snow and his eyes were blood red, and held amusement in them.

I was shaking uncontrollably.

He started coming towards me and my reflexes urged me to crawl back, but there was nowhere to go, my back touched the tree.

Upon seeing my reaction he showed his wicked smirk and said.

“Well-well - what do we have here?”

*******************************************

I woke up panting, soaked with sweat and my cheeks were covered with my tears.

This happens to me sometimes, I start screaming in my sleep, I can't help it. I also spoke to my Pops about it, but nothing’s changed.

I guess my past will never leave me and will always pull me back from moving on, like it has a tight grip on my life. Sometimes I wonder what if all of it never happened? What if my real family hadn’t died that night? What would my life be like?

All my thoughts were hampered by the annoying sound of my alarm. That was my cue to start my day.

I moved out of my bed and started my morning routine, quickly going to my bathroom, brushing my teeth, taking a shower, putting a towel around me, and going to my walk-in closet.

Today I decided to wear a sky-coloured sleeveless dress with a floral print that rests just above my knees with sneakers.

I combed my waist-length hair into a high ponytail and finally took a look at myself.

I have dark brown hair like my mother, but my eyes resemble my father's emerald green ones. And frankly, I’m not a huge fan of my body shape because it always gets men’s attention, and that’s one of the reasons why Amanda and her minions hate me, at least that's what Elena told me. In her words 'You’re beautiful, and they’re just jealous of you'. If only she knew...

I sighed because today’s Monday and I have to face her again. I put some strawberry lip balm on my lips and I was satisfied with my look. Usually, I don't use very much makeup, it makes me feel fake and painted.

I made my way downstairs to the dining room, where my entire family and other pack members were having breakfast.

To say that the packhouse is big would be an understatement. Our packhouse is enormous, more like a castle, the castles of kings and queens like they show in movies. From the outside, it looks like those old, ancient structured buildings but from the inside, it's much more modern with creamy walls, modern furniture and tiles that could compete with mirrors. The first time I came here, I was astonished by the fact that a place could look so beautiful and intimidating at the same time.

I was hit by the smell of food when I entered the dining room.

“Good morning Sir Beta”, I greeted him with a little bow.

“A very good morning Dear", he smiled at me. Sir Joseph Black, Beta of our pack and currently holding down all the responsibilities of Alpha.

Why?

I will tell you later, right now I am hungry. I quickly greeted everyone; Luna, Madam Beta, Senior Omega, Steve, Bryan, my sweetest Pops, other pack members who were present there, and lastly my cutie Sophia. She’s just 6 years old, while Steve and Bryan are 2 years older than me, and not to forget very protective of me and Sophia.

“Good morning Ro,” she said and I chuckled at the nickname she gave me.

I took a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich with orange juice and started digging it.

I finished my breakfast and was about to leave the table when Sir Beta cleared his throat and everyone's eyes darted towards him.

“I would like to enlighten you all that Xavier and Christian are coming back.

"What?"

So what do you think?? what will happen when he will come back???
