107. Darkness
AZURA.
My eyes snap open and I feel nauseous. Damn… Something isn’t right… I didn’t even eat anything
weird. I frown as I sit up. My heart is thumping as I look around the dark
room.
What woke me up?
Why is it so dark?
It isn’t just dark, it’s really really dark.
Sure, I can see perfectly but there are no lights on outside. Strange. I kick the blanket off, wondering
once more what had awoken
I glance at the clock. It’s late…
Did Leo get back?
‘Baby?’ I call, glancing at the bathroom –
but it’s dark.
I guess he won’t be back so soon. I hope
everything is going according to plan for
them.
Running my fingers through my hair, I
reach for the lamp and tap it. I frown as it
doesn’t turn on…
“What is going on?” I murmur, trying to shake away the unease I’m feeling. It must be a power outage.
Just a power outage
Azura.
Damn, what if Corrado wakes up?
I get out of bed, walking toward the bedroom door. Suddenly I get the strange feeling that I’m being
watched and I turn sharply, scanning the dark room.
Goddess, Azura, get it together.
I leave my room to check up on Corrado,
mind linking Marcel.
‘Marcel?’
No response.
Hmm… He’s probably gone to sleep and kept
his walls up.
‘Winona?’
Nothing again.
I sigh, walking down the hall.
‘Marcel?’ Weird, usually you can push through a person’s barriers when they’re asleep… I knew that
because since I got my wolf, Liam was always the biggest receiver of that from me.
Disturbing him for a late-night hot drink or freshly baked cupcakes was always tempting.
Who should I contact about the outage? Someone must be around. Should I go out and ask one of the
guards? They are probably already working on it.
I pause, feeling that same sense of being watched, when I see Corrado’s bedroom
door is open. I break into a run, fear
enveloping me, and I push open the door only to see Corrado fast asleep in bed. I let out a sigh of
relief, thinking I really am being paranoid.
For a moment, I feel lightheaded from the spurt of energy used and feel nauseous once again. I walk
slowly to the bed, adjusting the duvet around my little boy. I sit down on the edge, sighing. I don’t know
why I’m on edge, but maybe it’s the power outage… I mean, does this mean the pack security system
and barriers around the pack are all down?
I stroke Corrado’s brown locks back, bending down to kiss his cheek gently. Turning to the open
curtains, I look out into the distance. I can see some lights are on. So it’s just the mansion then. That is
a relief at least.
Goddess, now who do I annoy about the power? I honestly didn’t expect Leo’s Pack to have to deal
with something like this. Maybe I’ll grab my phone and ask him.
I stand up, and it feels like the floor lurches.
I feel… I place a hand on my stomach, exhausted and sick.
Exhausted like I had no energy… just the way I felt back at the masked ball I attended.
The sudden unease I had felt the moment I woke up returns and I scan the room. My instincts are
telling me something isn’t right … Raising my hand, I let my power swirl around my hand. There is
something going on here…
‘Marcel! Anyone!’ I slam through the link, but again, I’m just hitting a blank. “Fuck!” I
hiss.
I need to grab my phone. I head to the door when I hear a scream down the hall, my
heart stops in my chest as I recognise that voice.
Winona!
I rush to the door, but I freeze, looking back
at Corrado. I can’t leave him here! If there’s
an attack, what if something happens and I can’t get to him?”
What should I do? What is going on?
I hear sounds downstairs, but they are
partially muffled. But the growl of a wolf and
the bang that follows tells me this is an
attack.
My heart is pounding in between keeping Corrado safe and going to Winona. I hear footsteps coming
down the hall and guilt fills me when I slowly shut the door.
I’m sorry Winona… I’m coming… Just give me a little time. I try my power again as I hear the footsteps
fade, but I’m unable to summon it. My vision darkens and I stare at the window. Is it just me or did I see
someone out there?
But then I see it again, a shadowy silhouette behind the blinds, and I quickly hurry to the bed and grab
Corrado, turning and running
to the door. The only thing in my mind is the instinct to protect him.
I unlock the door just as the window shatters behind us and Corrado wakes with a
whimper of shock.
“Wh-what’s happening Mommy?” He asks as I rush down the hall. I try to summon my power forward
only to feel that heavy weight collapse down on me.
Fuck!
“Look, I need you to stay quiet, ok baby?” I whisper to Corrado.
“Why?” He asks, his little heart thumping as I hear the door to his bedroom slam.
“Azura!” Marcel’s strained voice comes.
“Marcel!” I shout, spinning around only to see that the hallway behind me is empty.
I shake my head, not knowing what to say, when I hear Marcel’s menacing growl erupt from
downstairs.
What the hell is going on! Although I want to go down to Marcel, something tells me that I need to make
sure Corrado is safe first. I can
feel my own strength ebbing away as it is.
Is something in the air?
I run down the hall to the office. There is a
hidden area that-
A huge figure steps into my path and I skid to a stop, almost slamming into the man. My heart thumps
violently until I realise it’s Eric. 2
“Eric?”
“Luna.”
“Go help Marcel!”
“He sent me to help you. Come with me.” He says, motioning for me to follow him, but he
seems too calm…
Unease fills me and my gaze dips to his feet…
And I feel as if a bucket of ice-cold water has
been thrown over me.
Those can definitely be size 11… I look up at him, my mind spinning, but my face
remains calm, and I plaster a relieved smile on my face.
“I got alarmed when the electricity went off.” I say, trying to buy myself time to think.
I just hope he’ll buy my bluff; he smiles and nods.
“It did, but we don’t have time to worry about that. Come on, I have orders to keep you all safe.” He
shakes his head.
“Oh? What’s going on then?” I ask as he steps forward, reaching for Corrado and I make the mistake of
instinctively stepping back.
Shit…
He’s watching me, and his smile fades.
“You can relax Luna, I’m here. I’ll take
Corrado.” It’s more of a threat than an offer.
Corrado looks between us and holds his
arms out to Eric. “Mommy, Daddy was
saying you shouldn’t carry me now. You are going to get tired fast.”
Not now, my cherub… not now.
“You aren’t heavy at all!” I say with a smile,
but Eric doesn’t back down. I hear another
crash from downstairs, and I jump. It
unnerves me, aside from Marcel I can’t hear
the enemy…
“Eric… shouldn’t you go help, Marcel?” I
say, not liking the way he’s now blocking my
path.
He looks at me, as if pondering over what I
said, before he nods slowly.
“Sure.” He says but instead of turning, he steps towards me and I jump back, my eyes blazing and I tug
at the core of my power. I feel the pull inside as I send a blast of power at Eric. He ducks at the last
moment, his
eyes flashing as he turns on me.
“Mommy!” Corrado exclaims
“Step back!” I say, letting him down and pushing him toward the office door. “You… you were helping
Emmet, weren’t you?” I say quietly.
Eric smiles, tilting his head. “Took you long enough to figure it out.”
What do I do? Oh wait, I fucking know. Destroy the bastard.
My eyes blaze and he tenses.
“I’m impressed you can still use your
powers after what we put in your food.” He
smiles.
Now my tiredness makes sense.
“Yeah, well, you’re messing with the fucking Westwood Devil. Nothing will keep me down.” I snarl,
raising my hand ready to
blast the fucking dickface to pieces. The office door opens behind me, making my heart pound. He isn’t
alone…
“Corrado, come to me!” I command.
“M-mommy…”
I blast Eric back and he grunts, as he is thrown across the hall and I spin around, my heart thumping
when I look at the man who
has now stepped out of the office. He’s all in
black, his murky hazel eyes fixed on me. I’ve
come face to face with the one man I never
wanted to ever see again…
“It’s been a while, my little pet. Now… you
will come with me, or I will kill this boy… and we both know I am very capable of it.”
My stomach twists as I realise he has his hand on Corrado’s head, one wrong move
and he could crush his skull.
“Judah…” My voice comes out sounding
shakier than I wanted it to.
‘Marcel!’ I scream fruitlessly through the
link.
Judah smirks as he tilts his head.
“Better… Now if you listen, this one doesn’t need to die like the older man downstairs is about to… I left
him in a pretty bad state… For a Rossi, he didn’t disappoint.”
No! There are no sounds from downstairs
anymore!
“What did you do to him?” I ask. I’m seething, but there isn’t only my life
hanging in the balance. I feel my baby kick
and look at Corrado.
“Ok. I’m all yours. Just… don’t do anything to him.” I say, smiling at the terrified child
in his arms.
“Then, hands behind your back and walk.” Judah commands. “Turn.”
I close my eyes for a moment, glancing at Corrado. “Ok, I will, just make sure nothing happens to him,
alright?”
He smirks, his grip on Corrado’s neck tightening.
No, you can threaten me, blackmail me… but you do not fucking hurt my babies! 1
“I SAID NOT HIM!” I roar, and my aura flares around me, blasting through the hall. In a flash, I grab
Corrado, kicking Judah square in the neck. He’s taken by surprise, and he staggers back. I don’t waste
time feeling my body becoming heavier.
“I told you to poison them!” Judah hisses at Eric, who is now up on his feet again.
I run down the stairs, scanning the hall, and rush to the door. I know what I can do with Corrado! I’ll lock
him in Leo’s cave! But that thought vanishes from my head when I stare at the front lawn. Men in black
have created
a circle around the mansion and, upon
seeing me, they all raise their guns.
A sinister chuckle from behind me makes me
turn.
“See, you just pissed me off…” Judah says, his smile vanishing. “Your so-called man
created those bullets they wield… you know what they do, right?”
My heart is thudding, and I pray somehow
Leo returns soon.
“Mommy…” Corrado whispers and I hug
him tighter. I was surrounded…
“I do,” I say, glaring at Judah. “What do you want with me?”
I needed to stall for time…
I can smell blood and Marcel too… but where
is he?
I dare not take my eyes off the bastard in
front of me.
“Now. Try anything else and I will kill
everyone who is currently simply
unconscious.” Judah hisses, grabbing me by my hair.
Yeah, you probably didn’t kill anyone, so Leo isn’t alerted. I sneer in my head, but I didn’t have an
option but to obey. Here I am
with my two children, cornered.
Once again… I am helpless.
Fuck!
“Fine. I’ll come with you.”
