RAGE

At twenty years old she had thought that now her life had just begun. Her childhood had been everything but good. It could have been worse but she couldn't complain about it. What was she supposed to do? The moment her life began other things arose and she had no clue whatsoever on what to believe. Her life had been a lie all along and no matter how much she tried to make sense of who she was she couldn't. She was lost at sea with all the lies she had been told. She did not know who to believe anymore. She never knew that she had as much power as she had or that people were going to see her as a threat. All she over wanted was to be somewhere that she belonged but the more that she knew people the more she realized that she did not belong anywhere. Could she blame them for hating her though? She did not choose to be who she was and there was nothing she could do about it. As she turned into her wolf form she saw a figure approaching her and she was ready to pounce until she smelled his scent. Hades

PROLOGUE For centuries my brothers had dragged me wherever they wanted to go. They said that family was the strongest bond but in the same way it was the strongest bond it would destroy you in seconds. I don't know why it took me so long to realize it. Nothing would ever change with them. Elijah would go all over the world chasing Edmund so that he could save him. Why could he not see that Edmund couldn't be saved? He was obsessed with power and control there was nothing that he wouldn't do. We had done things in the past that we regretted but he was just something else. I don't think someone could be saved did they didn't want it to happen. Edmund had turned into the monsters that he once hated and he was so deep. that nothing would change it. Maybe love was the only solution but how could someone love if they didn't have a heart? Love was not something that existed in our world. Maybe I was foolish to choose my brothers every time they put me on the spot. But how could I not? They were the only people that I knew who would go to hell and back for me. That was the meaning of family no matter how much I hated them or whatever they did I would also choose them. It didn't matter that I was missing out on being with the love of my life but there was no happy ever after when it came to life. I would be miserable for the rest of my life when the person I loved died so where was the happy there. "You made the right choice ", said Edmund beside me pulling me out of my trance. "Yeah ", I said. I knew I was lying. It was not the right choice because no matter how many times we chose him nothing was going to change. He was still going to be the evil brother that I despised so much but if I didn't choose him he would make my life a living hell. "Don't come running to me when he disappoints you again ", said Mateo as he walked away. I knew he meant it this time around. One would only take you back a couple of times before they got tired of being treated like the second option. Maybe it was for the better this way. We would never be happy together. I would always have to choose between him and my family and there was no way he would win that war. "She won't ", said Edmund smiling down at me.

Belinda thought after divorce, they would part ways for good - he could live his life on his own terms, while she could indulge in the rest of hers. However, fate had other plans in store. "My darling, I was wrong. Would you please come back to me?" The man, whom she once loved deeply, lowered his once proud head humbly. "I beg you to return to me." Belinda coldly pushed away the bouquet of flowers he had offered her and coolly replied, "It's too late. The bridge has been burned, and the ashes have long since scattered to the wind!"
