"Are you ready?" Luke; who I found out was a warrior, asked me politely, his head slightly bowed to show his respect. I sniffed and nodded my head weakly, my hands crossed against my chest for support, Marina held Luke's hand with a scrunched up face as she watched me.

My gaze remained glued on their hands, and I felt my heart skip a beat; will I ever have that?

"Don't bow to her, she doesn't deserve it." Dustin suddenly spat out making my eyes snap to the left, where he stood in front of a sleek, black van with his body leaning against the passenger door.

I gulped in hurt, not wanting to say anything, but to be honest I couldn't even speak, I just feel so drained.

"Enough Dustin, let's go guys." Marina angrily stated, Dustin growled at her and sent a cold, glare my way making me stumble back warily; he smirked before walking to the drivers seat, his broad back and long legs, clothed with light, denim jeans and a pitch, black shirt moved with power.

I nodded my head and walked towards the back of the car with my head hanging low, tears silently dripped out of my eyes as I walked away from my home, the only place I felt safe.

My stomach was stuck in those uncomfortable knots, and my heart was barely beating - as if it was forced to continue moving to keep me alive but honestly, I rather it stopped.

I held onto the cool handle, and pulled the door open, without acknowledging Dustin's snarls, and anger filled glares I pushed my body weakly into the car, and sat onto the light, brown leather seat.

I sighed when I was all the way inside, my gaze was on the huge black gates, the beautiful concrete pavements, and all the fountains but I couldn't look at the beautiful castle; which kept my family locked away from me once again.

Marina slowly came inside of the car, then shut the door and Luke sat on the seat beside Dustin, I felt Marina's worried gaze on my side profile, and I twisted my whole body so that I faced the window completely - not her.

"Let's go." She mumbled under her breath before sighing in defeat, I slouched my shoulders and felt my heart clench even tighter as the engine purred and the van moved forward.

My face scrunched up, and suddenly once we reached the gates, my body completely turned and I faced the huge Diamond Castle.

My eyes welled up once again at the view of the beautiful Castle, decorated with trees, fountains and beautiful pavements with imbedded lights.

I bit my bottom lip roughly and hesitantly turned my body back normally, my gaze was on the seat in front of me, but I wasn't even looking - my vision was too glossy.

I held my hands close to my chest and shut my eyes tightly, keeping my teeth roughly over my bottom lip because I felt a sob making way up my throat.

"That is 'Το κόκκινο κάστρο με διαμάντια'." He explained, my brows furrowed as I repeated his foreign words in my head, he chuckled, noticing my confused facial expression, I smiled innocently as a warm blush spread itself on my cheeks in embarrassment.

"This is the red diamond castle." He repeated, but this time in a language I understood, I bit my bottom lip and felt my eyes widen slightly.

The blood diamond castle.

"This is the Blood Diamond pack, I believe you've heard of us?" He asked me, his voice proud and yet not conceited, I shrugged trying to remember why that name was so familiar to me.

"I think I have, but I don't remember. The name is there, its in my mind, but it fails to reconnect with the memory." I explained while sighing, his face morphed into understanding as he nodded.

"Well, lets enter the castle and maybe, your memory might come back to you inside, η πριγκίπισσα μου." He said, I nodded hesitantly, his choice of language confusing me, is that Greek?

"Gates open!" He ordered loudly, his voice echoing through the woods making me flinch, but yet I was so intrigued once they gracefully started opening.

The blood diamond came apart in the middle, it slightly sparkled before it died down.

Suddenly the gates completely opened and revealed the pathway to the castle, I gasped when lights started to turn on one by one on the ground, shining a deep red color.

"Wow." I muttered, the man laughed making me chuckle with him before shaking my head and slowly he took back my small hand into his own and guided us inside.

When the front door opened, I felt the wind get knocked out of me as the beauty of the inside got revealed.

With wide eyes I looked from side to side, admiring how big the room was, and how everything was in place while bright lights shone upon us.

"It's beautiful." I whispered, more to myself, causing the man to chuckle, I shook my head and sighed, this castle was magnificent.

The day I met my father, it was so sudden.

I frowned deeply, and shook my head, using my hand to wipe under my eye, later sniffing quietly.

Everyone was silent as we rode through the woods, over a rocky path that had our bodies bouncing up and down, the sound of rolling rocks filled the silence.

"Stop sniffing, quit being so weak all your life! Stop crying, damnit!" Dustin suddenly yelled out making me flinch, the sound of him banging his fists against the steering wheel made my eyes widen in fear, Marina growled lowly making my head hang once again in disappointment.

"S-sorry." I mumbled weakly before laying my head on the window, my short hair was probably a mess by now, so was I but I didn't care.

"Don't talk like that Dustin!" Marina scolded angrily making my eyes close on their own accord - I always cause problems for them.

"Don't lecture me Marina!" Dustin fired back, I could sense the anger and rage floating off of him in waves, the area where my neck and shoulder met tingled, and I felt my head slowly form a headache.

Luke growled lowly, feeling possessive over his mate making me shrink back into my seat - wanting to disappear and stop causing problems for everyone.

"Then stop being so rude to your mate!" Marina yelled out in defeat, making my eyes snap open; she sounded so enraged it was scary.

I turned my head to look at her and saw that her eyes were widened and completely crimson, I gasped and flinched on my seat, my back colliding with the closed car door, absentmindedly I scooted away from her; but got nowhere.

She sent me a weird, soft look but she looked completely feral - almost like how I looked when the spirit takes over, I shuddered at that thought.

"She isn't my mate!" Dustin protested in a deep, cold voice that shook me to the core, my dried tears were greeted by new, cool ones that slowly trailed down my cheeks.

I shut my eyes and placed a hand over my chest, where my barely beating heart laid covered, it felt so tight and I could feel bile raising up my throat, I wanted to gag and throw up, but I swallowed it down roughly.

"She is!" Marina growled back making my head hang weakly, my arms circled around my body hoping to make me disappear, my face scrunched up and I shook my head not wanting to listen to everyone always fighting.

"Celine is not my mate! I will go through hell and back to tarnish our bond, just to prove to you that she means nothing to me!" He explained genuinely, his words sent sharp daggers to my heart which continued beating loudly in my head, every small beat ached painfully and I felt myself get drowsier.

"Celine was given to you by the Moon Goddess, she was paired with you for a reason! Hence the fact that you guys are Moon Written! Stop resisting your bond and just accept it!"  Marina fired back, her voice was deeper then usual and I felt my shoulders start to shake against the window, the rocky road forgotten and I wished the sound of rolling rocks was the only sound heard.

"No! I don't care if she was given to me! I never asked for a weak, and pathetic mate! I never ask for a mate that has been used and thrown! She has a child for Goddesses sake! My reputation and her's don't mix well, I can not be seen with someone like her." Dustin stated in disgust, and I felt my heart finally slow down, I could feel Dustin's painful words rip my poor heart to pieces slowly, I held my body tighter and kept my eyes closed tightly.

My chest hurt and my breathing started getting labored, anxiety crawled up and down my body, my blood mixed hotly and boiled angrily.

I felt something stirring inside of me and squirmed in my seat, all while tears managed falling out of my shut eyes, my stomach churned bringing back that nauseating feeling.

Dustin and Marina kept yelling and growling at one another, Luke joined in to stop them and I felt completely embarrassed.

My blood continued boiling and my heart continued getting ripped to shreds as I processed all of my mates words in my head.

Suddenly as if everything around me froze, my heart did too - my eyes snapped open and I ended up glaring at the back of the front seat, my eyes wide and glossy, my cheeks probably flushed with lingering tears.

I pressed my hands against my ears to block out all of their yelling, I watched Luke's hands fly around as he begged the siblings to stop, and one sentence that came from Dustin had my whole body freezing in place.

"The spirit should just take her, maybe then she'll prove herself strong enough to be the mate of the strongest Alpha."

I gulped loudly and growled out in pain, it wasn't me but it came out of me. Everyone's eyes turned to me, completely wide in shock.

"Enough!" I ordered weakly, my head shaking as I pressed my hands harder against my ears to block out any sound, tears once again rolled out of my eyes mercilessly.

"Please stop!" I begged loudly, my head shook side to side crazily as I sobbed and continued covering my ears.

"Enough." I whispered breathlessly before black dots formed in my glossy vision, my heart was being squeezed tightly and I could barely breathe.

Enough. And for once I've had enough.

I blacked out completely and felt my body fall limp, everything went by too quickly and I could no longer feel any part of my body.

I felt something crawl inside of me but all my senses stopped working, and finally my body fell to the side, and I could feel arms wrap around me before a feminine voice shrieked in horror.

"Dustin her ears are bleeding black blood!" And then everything left, like always.
