Story: Three Mates & A Tribrid
The sound of the bomb going off ricocheted through the room.
I instinctively covered my belly as if that would be enough to shield the babies from the blast. Luckily the guys planned things out right as the blast from the bomb didn't come anywhere near my room.
Although, Axel was in a protective stance in front of me in case anything did happen.
I looked at Axel with wide but impressed eyes. "What the hell have you guys gotten into?" I muttered as Axel grabbed my hand and we slowly made our way out of my room.
There was a big commotion going on up ahead of us at the interception of my hallway and the hallway housing convicted criminals of the council. There was yelling, grunting, and growling coming from around the corner as Axel let go of my hand and reached into the waistband of his jeans.
I slapped his arm, looking at him like he was mad. "A gun? We're supernaturals for fuck's sake! Why the hell do you have a gun?" I whispered yelled at him. I mean, we can't even be harmed by bullets.
He smirked as he showed me a bullet. "Atticus and the coven have been working on these for weeks. Trust me, they'll work." I looked at the bullet closer, noticing that there were marks and patterns carved into the bullets. Now, that I noticed it, I could feel the magic vibrating from them.
The noises got louder, drawing our attention to the real task at hand.
"Stay close to me, Princess. And, please, don't try to be a fucking badass right now.
I would die if something happened to you.
Not to mention, the guys would skin me alive if you got hurt on my watch.
" I smiled at him. I just couldn't be happier to finally have him back.
My wolf was running fields just being in his presence.
We turn the corner to see a few witches and warlocks unlocking the remaining cells of the prisoners.
Werewolves, vampires, witches, and warlocks were fighting amongst the council for freedom.
Little did I know, the council has a very tight security unit.
It was becoming impossible to see any sort of exit amongst the chaos.
I watched as body after body was being dropped dead on the cold floor of the hallway. Blood was splattered on the walls and floor much like a painting as the prisoners were slowly making their way through the security guards.
Axel held his gun up from our corner as he fired and hit one of the guards who was choking a teenage girl. I watched as the guard's body was burned from the inside out. Whoa.
Axel laughed like a psychopath. "Holy shit.
These things are sick!" I rolled my eyes but smiled at his obsession with his new toy.
Although, I felt so helpless just standing next to Axel as he fired round after round at the remaining security guards.
However, I was not going to be the hero of this adventure. I had my babies to worry about now.
I watched the last remaining guard be torn down by a werewolf as the room went into silence. There were a lot of prisoners, but a lot more bodies. Axel grabbed my hand as we walked from around the corner. Everyone in the hallway bowed their heads as we made our way through.
"What the hell is going on, Ax?" I asked under my breath as we walked by each person.
He looked down at me as he smiled softly.
"They helped us, Rose. You're our luna, remember?
" I couldn't help the blush and smile that spread across my face.
I never even thought about the actual terms that would be used for me or what that would entail.
I'm the luna over the three species in this region.
We made our way to the door where Axel pressed a button on his watch, making the monitor next to the door glitch out.
We waited as the lock on the door unlatched, making the door accessible.
Everyone filed out of the room after us as we silently made our way up the stairs.
I leaned over and groaned inwardly as I looked up and saw that we were far from escaping yet.
"You should have trained harder with me instead of complaining," Axel teased through our mind link. I smiled at the fact that I was able to access it now that the restraints were off of me.
That smile instantly turned to a thin-lined scowl. "Are you seriously telling me I'm lazyafter breaking me out of my imprisonment?"
Axel glanced behind his shoulder at me as he smirked and shrugged his shoulder. Damn did I want to kiss that smirk right off of his face. As we walked by a set of doors, leading off of one floor, about a third of our group split off.
"Where are they going?" I asked Axel through our mind link again since it wasn't safe to speak out loud at the moment.
"That's the room where most of the council members would be.
I'd gut Damon myself if I wasn't focused on getting you out safely," Axel said with anger.
Instead of feeling sad or happy about what he said about Damon, I just felt indifferent.
I didn't care what happened to him one way or another.
We finally made our way to the top of the staircase without hardly any interruptions.
But I knew that it would be hell from here to the exit.
Even though it looked like we were at the top floor, it was just an illusion.
We finally made it out of the experimental and prisoner unit of the council's headquarters.
We walked slowly and quietly down a well-lit hallway. This was obviously where the council spent their time when they weren't kidnapping and torturing supernaturals who they saw were "dangerous."
Axel put his hand up, signaling for our group to stop as we heard footsteps approaching.
"That's not our people. Get into positions," Axel whispered, but we were all able to hear him clearly.
He pushed me behind his back protectively as he gave me a silver knife, which I made sure to not get anywhere near me.
As soon as the door opened, spells were flying, people were running, and blood was everywhere. Luckily, I only had to help other people kill since the council members weren't attacking me. I guess my babies are more valuable to them than I thought, which worried me even more.
"Move out," Axel called as we stepped over the bodies of the council as we made our way further down the hallway and out another door. Thankfully, these doors didn't require a code since we were in the main part of the council headquarters.
"Over here," Axel said, motioning with his head as we walked towards the office section of the headquarters. We walked towards the big office, which was no doubt, my mothers, since she seems to be in charge of things around here.
The door opened before we could reach it as I got into a defensive stance, ready for the next fight to break out. My eyes widened as I saw Atticus step out.
He smiled so big as he pulled me into a bone-crunching hug.
"Roe," He whispered as he rubbed his hand down my back soothingly.
"I'm so sorry it took us so long. I tried to contact you through the dreamscape again but I couldn't reach you.
I'm so fucking sorry." He looked at me with tears in his eyes which made my heart clench.
I shook my head as I leaned in and gave him a tender kiss. "It's okay, Tuck. I'm alright. I knew you guys would come for me," I whispered as I kissed him again.
Atticus looked over towards Axel and then back to me as he pulled out a box and inside, laid my knife. I exhaled in relief that they were able to find it. I wouldn't be able to live knowing the council had it in their possession.
"Good, you found it," I said, smiling at him. He gave me a weird look, almost like he was uncomfortable. I furrowed my eyebrows. "What's wrong?"
He gulped as he pulled something out from his pocket. I looked down to see a picture of me when I was little. I was only around eight years old in the photo. "Rose, your mom is the head of the council?"
I nodded my head as I took the photo from him and crumbled it up. "Yeah. It doesn't change anything though. I want her dead," I said in a determined tone. The guys looked at me, making sure I was okay before we continued on with the escape.
We rounded the corner and halted immediately at the sight in front of us. No. My eyes widened as I looked in horror.
"Going so soon, Rosalie?" My mother asked in a taunting, cold voice as she held a silver knife to Everette's throat as guards held him down with silver chains.
"Imagine my surprise when I go into the security room and see the bodies of my men lying on the floor and your mate hijacking the system.
" She tsked as she applied pressure to his throat with the knife.
