Elisa's P.O.V

Waves after waves of agony and guilt hit me in my heart like bullets as I cried.

No, this was not only me. I was feeling Alec's grief as well, does he bottle this up inside him? How could he handle it? How is he still sane?

I need to stop crying. Alec needs me, he has lost his mother all over again. I need to be strong this time.

I pulled back and looked up at him through my blurry vision.

His eyes were struck on that box and his eyes reflected his pain and grief though he tried his best not to show it.

"Alec?" I said hoarsly. Still he didn't look at me but a single stray tear fell out of his eye.

I wanted to curl up and cry too but I need to be strong today.

"Alec look at me." I ordered him as I took his face in my hands.

His eyes finally landed on mine, "I promise we'll avenger her. I promise, it's okay to cry Alec. I can feel everything you're trying so hard to bottle up. Don't do that Alec, let it out or else it'll eat you from inside." I said staring in his eyes.

Suddenly his eyes turned angry and flashed red.

Before I could comprehend what is happening, my hands were holding nothing but air.

I whirled around but Alec was nowhere in my sight.

"ALEC! Alec don't go there!" I shouted but only silence met my ears.

No, I know that bastard is waiting for him. He could kill him!

That realization hit me like a ton of bricks in the from of fear. I need to go after him.

I dashed up the stairs and dressed in whatever clothes that first caught my hand along with shoes.

I ran outside the building but I didn't know where I was staying. What is this place?

One side was a deserted road and the other side held nothing but trees and bushes.

Taking chance and praying that it would be the right direction, I dashed in the forest.

I know nothing of this forest! How am I supposed to reach the castle? I don't remember the road that would take me there.

In frustration I cried out but I shut my mouth when I heard a sound.

A sound I've heards many times before.

The sound of wolves howling.

But why are they howling at daylight? Just like last time, they came in groups and surrounded me with their white fur Alpha gazing at me with serene expression. Rest all looked ready to shread me into pieces.

Everything was same as last time, the only difference is that now I don't have Alec's mother's ring to protect.

But who said that I need it?

I wiped the tears off my face angrily and took at all the wolves.

I was done crying and I was especially done being a weak damsel in distress.

I will fighy each and every one and show them what I am.

This Queen don't need a King to save her.

I called onto my powers and looked in the eyes of every wolf that wants to kill me today.

"Come on! It's high time I show you who the real Alpha is. I'm Alec's mate and I'm the Queen of Vampires. And a Queen doesn't back away when enemies attack. Instead she comes forward and kill everyone who comes in her path. I'm going to show you just that, let's see what you've got." I said as my hands began glowing.

Oh yes! This is what I am, I may not be the strongest girl in the world but I'll be the strongest Queen ever born.

The wolves howled and began running towards me. I lifted my hand and threw a bunch of them to a fat tree as another came towards me.

Again I used my powers and tackled them down but in my haste I forgot to look behind me and a wolf jumped on my back, bringing me down on the ground.

This only angered me more.

I turned around as his claws scrached my arms and punched him straight on it's jaw. With my powers, I threw him off me.

I immediately stood up and calculated the remaing wolves who were looking at me with guarded eyes.

I wiped the corner of my lips with the back of my hand, "Is that it?" I spread out both of my arms, "Giving up already? Come on! This was way too easy." I said talking to all of them by turning in a slow circle.

I look at the Alpha who never attacked me, "you too Alpha? I thought you'd have more guts than them." I said to him.

The wolves behind me growled as I heard their heavy paws running towards me. I smirked and with a flick of my wrist banged their heads against a giant rock.

The rest of the wolves moved a little away from me and looked at their Alpha whose gaze never strayed away from me.

I could see him accept the defeat in his eyes, "Now you all listen to me as this is the first and last time I'm going to explain it to you." I said and all the yellow eyes turned to look at me again.

"As you can see I've defeated you and from now on you'll all follow my commands and carry out my every order. Fix it in your mind that I'm your Queen and you're all going to listen to me. I never want to hurt you but if you push me to do so then I'll kill you without a second thought. Follow me and live a happy life, rebel against me and the only thing you're going to get is death. Is that understood?" I shouted and they all howled in response.

Just like last time, all of them bowed  down to me by dropping to their front legs including the Alpha.

But this time, I was the one who won against them. I won against them by myself without anyone's help and this feels like a real achievement.

I went to the alpha, "Take me to the castle now." I said as he rose to his height.

When he was on all his fours, he was as tall as me. He indicated me to sit on his back as he went down on the ground again. I climbed atop him as he started running through the jumble of trees.

Alec's P.O.V

It hurt. It hurts so f**king much that I cannot describe it.

I just know that I want his head in my hands. I want his heart as a trophy in my office and I'm gonna do that.

I broke the castle doors as my beast aroused within me. This time it was not  trying to calm me down, instead it anticipated my decision.

My hands were burning from jiggling them. Oh how satisfied I'm gonna be when they are embedded in his heart.

I continued throwing them up in the air and catching them again, "Where are you Master Gilfred?" I hissed.

"I must say I'm pleased to meet you again Alec." He said.

There he was, sitting on the chair with blood running down his chin and hands mucked with blood. Beside the chair was a beaheaded body.

Martha's body.

Grief tried to fill me up again but I pushed it down. Not now! Now I need my anger.

I kept catching them and tossing them in the air, "Do you know how many silver nails I'm gonna embed in your fucking vanta black heart?" I asked him in my cold voice.

"Oh my Alec! So... How's my Jewel? Did she get my get well soon message? I packed it up myself." He said smiling at me.

He did have better temperament than me but what he doesn't know is that, my temper brings out my madness and my madness only brings out destruction.

And today I'm gonna destruct him.

"There are 12 pure silver nails I'm holding in my hand. You know? For what you did with the love of my life? There were 12 glass shrads in her head when you banged it aganist the window and now you'll have same but silver in your heart." I saod smiling at him.

Oh how I'm gonna love torturing him.

I threw the nails in my hand towards his chest. Each nail stabbed his bare chest and he hissed out in pain.

"There's so much more to come. Remember, I was always faster than you and I still am. But you should know that I'm the most lethal creature on this planet that is gonna kill you piece by piece, bone by bone and cell by cell!" I shouted at him.

He suddenly began laughing, "Do you  think this half-stabbed silver nails are gonna kill me? How much more pathetic can you become Alec? You may be fast but now I have more powers. Ah! How could I forget to tell you, it was Adam's b**ch who helped me gain so much powers. Told you that love is just an illusion, she gave away Adam's life without thinking and helped me. I really like her. Now, let's get on with torturing you." He said, getting ready to fight me.

"Maybe half-stabbed, but how about fully stabbed?" A hand went inside Gilfred's chest, embedding the nails fully in his  heart.

I knew she would come.

He screamed out as blood poured out of his mouth. Elisa's hand twisted inside his chest, "I really want to see your black heart but before that we so need to torture you. She did nothing! Absolutely nothing! Why did you kill her?" Elisa shouted, tightening her hand.

Elisa's P.O.V

I turned my hand again. "My sweet innocent Jewel, don't you know that I kill people for love? You should've remembered it." He said and I squeezed the nails more.

"You see, we don't tend to remember shit, so no I don't." I said.

"Why are you doing all this? I want the answers!" Alec shouted behind me.

"Why are you after my mate?" He shouted, he came closer and punched him square in the jaw.

"Don't you remember that night in woods? 600 hundred years ago, your first prey? You took her from me and I'm gonna do the same except that I want vengeance as well.

Confusion marred Alec's brows and then realization dawned his face, "She was your mate? Oh How much I wish I could kill her all over again. But don't worry, you'll do a good replacement." Alec said smiling darkly.

I can't believe it! Alec killed Gilfred's mate?

I pulled out my hand from his dirty chest and turned to look at Alec.

But before I could stop him, Gilfred disappeared in thin air.

Ughhh! I will catch him again but first I need to know somethings.

"Alec you killed Gilfred's mate? But why?" I asked.

"Because that fucking bitch killed my mother."

Alec said and I gasped out loud.

Good night! I'm so sleepy.

Until then hugs and see ya.
