Alexia’s POV

“Wake up, Alexia,” Lucas said stretching in bed. I groaned but slowly began to get up.

Day Eleven.

It’s been eleven days since Zane left. All he left was a note explaining how he needed time. Wasn’t eleven days enough? I missed him so much.

Ever since we found out we weren’t really brother and sister, it’s never really been the same. I found out my real family bloodline was an old original family who turned their alliance to the darkness, becoming half werewolf, half vampire. No one in the history of werewolves or vampires have ever been a half breed or the correct term, Bloodwolf. It was unnatural. It was wrong and that’s where I came in. I was their product.

A pure half breed. Born a Bloodwolf. As an original, I was gifted with a special ability: healing. A prophecy was made the day I was born that I would take revenge of my parent’s death and darkness would consume me. We all thought that I would kill the Elders, the werewolf Council, because they wiped out my family but the prophecy was talking about my adoptive parents. Zane’s parents.

They were murdered in a fire by Jace and Phoebe. It also happened that Jace was my biological brother and he kidnapped me and Zane. He relied on some folklore to try to bring ‘our’ parents back by sacrificing me.

Thankfully Lucas and Derek came to the rescue but Lucas died in my place when Jace tried to kill me with a silver bullet. Derek, a vampire and a king, interfered and held Jace off before I killed him with my own hands. Just one silver bullet through the chest ended everything. I killed my own blood brother but he was no brother to me. Just a murderer. I couldn’t shake his last words to me.

I really did care for you, Alexia. It sent shiver up me whenever his words replayed in my head. Did he really love me? Why on earth did he think that sacrificing me showed his love?

All of this happened two weeks ago but it all felt like it happened just yesterday. The darkness wasn’t really helping either. These last few days have been crucial. The darkness was making more frequent visits and each time it was getting worse. Lucas, Derek, and Uncle Amos helped me get through it but I could slowly feel it controlling me physically.

Just the day before, the darkness controlled me, injuring Derek in the process. The darkness left, leaving Derek bleeding heavily on his side but he waved it away. With the help of a blood bag, he was healed in a matter of minutes.

“Alexia,” Lucas groaned again. “Come here.” He pulled my arm and I collapsed in bed with him. He pulled me to his chest and wrapped himself around me as if I was his stuffed teddy bear.

“Lucas,” I laughed. “You’re squeezing the living daylights out of me.”

“But I love you,” he murmured, kissing my forehead. That simple ‘I love you’ was everything to me now. In the beginning, we both had a hard time actually loving each other and I didn’t even know I truly did until Derek helped me seek the truth. Ever since then, Lucas has been more open to me and I felt the happiness from the bond we shared.
