@fightforbetter​ asked  ➸   ❛   You   are   the   heart   of   this   Pack.   Without   you,   it’s   nothing.   ❜

"YOU   REALLY   THINK   SO?",   Belle   can't   help   the   shock   at   her   moms   words.   Sure,   she   helps   out   with   the   Pack   every   second   she   can   spare,   from   checking   in   on   the   oldest   members,   to   keeping   the   Pack   babies   entertained   and   out   of   too   much   trouble.   But   the   heart   of   the   Pack?  

"Sure   you're   not   getting   me   mixed   up   with   someone   else,   mom?"   Hayley's   the   Crescent   queen,   the   woman   who   united   the   Pack   and   freed   them   from   vampires,   witches,   and   curses   alike.   And   Hope?   Her   sister   is   stronger   than   anyone   knows,   the   heir   apparant,   and   future   leader   of   all   factions   of   New   Orleans.  

Belle   is   just   Belle,   really.   (Except   with   the   occasional   crushing   pressure   of   being   the   last   of   an   entire   royal   wolf   bloodline,   but   no   biggy.   That   hardly   makes   her   heart   material.)

@fightforbetter​   asked         ➸      ❛   Being   consumed   with   bloodlust   is   not   in   your   nature.   ❜

“AND   WHAT   IS?”   Belle’s   ‘nature’   has   ALWAYS   been   different   to   the   other   wolves   -   She’s   the   only   one   lucky   enough   to   trigger   her   curse   without   killing   anyone,   not   that   she   had   any   say   in   the   matter   (It   was   base   instincts   -   trigger   it   or   die   before   ever   being   born.   What   a   fun   curse   her   ancestor   had   given   them.)   But   she’s   never   seen   herself   as   cursed.   Overwhelmed   at   the   cacophany   of   sounds   and   smells?   Sure!   But   she’s   never   felt   more   like   comfortable   in   her   own   skin   than   when   she’s   turning.

(She’s   always   felt   more   wolf   than   girl.)

And   now?   With   the   rest   of   her   immortal   life   ahead   of   her?   She   has   NO   IDEA   what   to   do.   Feels   discomfort   building   up   every   second,   of   every   day   in   a   way   she   NEVER   has   before.   How   the   hell   did   her   mom   ever   cope   with   this?   Because   Belle’s   pretty   sure   she   CAN’T.

“I   never   ASKED   for   this,   mom.”   Because   everyone   knows   what   kind   of   vampires   emotional   girl’s   like   her   make.   She   can   feel   the   rest   of   the   Quarter   just   waiting   for   her   to   break,   to   snap,   to   kill.   (She’d   rather   DIE   than   hurt   anyone.)
