Onyx stared at the door longer than intended, hands trembling with hesitation. Should she knock? What if he chased her away? Why was she even here?Onyx sighed before lightly knocking on the door but it opened instead and she sluggishly made her way in without waiting for an invite. She walked into the tiny bedchamber that was given to Ruel to find the Beta sitting on the tiny bed placed in the middle of the bed, legs parted with his elbows placed on his knees while his upper body was leaned forward.Onyx let out a light gasp when he lifted his head and his eyes met hers and they were cold and unrecognizable."What do you want?!" He mandated without rising from his place.She wanted to apologize and ask if he was alright. "I want you to stop acting like a fucking brat," and it didn't come out as planned.Ruel grimaced and he stood up. "A brat?" He thought out loud. "Seeking to save my best friend and Alpha makes me a brat?!""That's not it. You can't shut people out-,""I'm not shutt
It hurts. She couldn't tell where but everywhere felt like it was on fire.Odessa had never felt this much anguish in her life before. It was like she was being stewed in igneous boiling oil as she dripped and panted hellaciously.Again, she let out an earsplitting outcry as something shifted inside of her. She knew she was pregnant but the baby wasn't evolved yet, it was something else, something Addanc had been nurturing almost every day.Odessa was fatigued of crying, she had disposed of every tear in her body. She was tired of seeking help from those who just watched her, who she thought would be her biggest ally now that Oswald, her mate was gone and for the hundredth time, Odessa realized she was all alone. Alone in this pain and misery, she had put herself. Unaccompanied in this fight she didn't ask for.Lying on the bed with both her ankles and wrist shackled, Odessa gazed up at the ceiling with nothing in her eyes, once in a few minutes, she let out riots of agony but she did
Kristion, the mate of Isolde who in this life was Gwen who was Seth's mate. Seth tried not to gape after arranging everything together and tried not to reveal the awe and alarm ringing in his head as he realized this man before him was more than 10 hundred years old. "You are immortal," he finally spoke after hours of deafening silence."Yes, I am. I can't die and I can't be killed. It was the curse laid upon me the moment I decided to be the next successor of the Crystal Beads,"Seth's eyes dilated at the mention of the beads. "You have the beads?" He inquired, trying not to sound optimistic but the emotion was conspicuous.Kristion nodded. "I do but they aren't what you need to bring your mate back to life. The beads lost their most essential powers over the years. You could say, they had been rendered almost sterile,"And just like that, Seth's hope rumbled and he was lounging against the tough walls of the cave. Kristion tilted his head, probing the younger Alpha before a slight
A few days have passed since Addanc had taken over their world as the supreme ruler he once claimed to be. Those who opposed his decree paid an extreme price and Ruel couldn't take off his gaze away from where he stood at the side, among the slaves in camouflage, watching those who refused Addanc's authority get lambasted with sliver.Ruel staved off his gaze to where Addanc stood, a look of ecstasy in his eyes equally watching his opposers getting punished. Ruel's hand fisted at his side as he fought everything revolting inside of him to hop up there and rive the heart out from that scoundrel and before he could do anything rash, a hand dropped on his wrist and he whirled nattily to find Syrin giving him a cautioning look while grasping his wrist tightly."It's time to leave," Syrin notified but Ruel didn't want to. How could he leave when his people were agonizing, how could he leave when that aberration was still there, smirking as if he possessed the sphere which at the moment he
Not again! Not again!Odessa clamored in grisliness and broaden her eyes at the content she evacuated from her stomach to the toilet and felt her heart plummet at the sight of blood.She was retching blood and it wasn't the first time.Suddenly, Odessa felt vertiginous and she was fumbling on the wall of the bathroom while her hand supported her bulging stomach. She gasped for air as she felt breathless and garroted and the walls in front of her began to spin.No! Odessa internally shrieked. This couldn't be happening to her, she couldn't afford to lose her baby like this, the child in her womb was all she had of Oswald. Odessa shook her head. She couldn't afford to let this happen to her."Odessa, it's time to come out!"The voice Odessa scorned the most shouted from the other side and Odessa scowled at the door and she staggered over to the sink where she clutched it tightly till her fingers ached.With a whirling vision, Odessa presided towards the door and opened it to find a sne
Yarkona thought she had finally cut the mustard and had one less problem to deal with but she was wrong, she was dead wrong and abhorred every minute of her time being squandered. "Why do you keep fighting it? No matter what you do, it will one day ingurgitate you," Odessa didn't retaliate, looking apathetic at where she was crouching on the bed, back rested on the wall, the back of her knees were lifted off the bed while her wrist and ankle were shackled with chains. She remained immobile and played deaf to Yarkona's words as her gaze remained on only one spot in particular. Yarkona scoffed coming to sit on the bed with a bowl of greenish liquid and bringing it to Odessa's lips and the she-wolf didn't oppose and sluggishly swallowed the content but didn't look away from the spot she found more absorbing than her present situation. Yarkona grinned in contentment. "I'm glad you've finally seen how fruitless it is to protest, I'm glad you've decided to accept your fate and you can't b
Yarkona smirked at the three girls shackled in front of her. She stared at their baffled and frightened faces. "Aren't you girls just feather brain but I will use your idiocy to my advantage, that's the best part,""You won't get anything from us. We will never tell you where the others are!" Roxanne blurted and Yarkona laughed and lifted her hand where an orb of shady energy circled, the girl's breath hitched in fear and they began striving with their bonds."You were so intrepid earlier, why so skittish now?" She heckled with a smirk. "I will give you a choice, Addanc expects me to bring input on the bearing of the others, and believe me that's my life-consecrated job. I will make this simpler if you tell me where they are,""Over our dead bodies!" Phoebe spatted.Yarkona grinned. "That can be arranged, we can always do this over your corpses," she got closer to Roxanne with the dark orb. "You seem braver, I will start with you first and let your friends watch,"Roxanne strived to d
The reverberate of a battle cry made Onyx's head jolt up and she peered at Xenia and Nordika who mirrored her expression. "They are here," she enunciated. She stood up and scaled to the bars and clutched them, trying to chirp through the darkness.Xenia approached Onyx. "Since they are here, it's time you leave. Nordika and I will watch Gwen just in case,"Just in case they thwart Addanc and the redhead wakes. Onyx nodded. "Remember, the heart is the mark, the same goes for Addanc," Xenia proceeded, then she faced the bars, and with a flash of her eyes, the iron doors blast opened and Onyx didn't waste any time and scampered down the foyer of the pack vaults, passing cell after cell filled with prisoners that unfurled their hands towards her for help, finally, she arrived at her destination and hastily broke into the cell."Roxanne!" Onyx blat, rushing toward the mindless form of the three girls shackled and back rested against the wall. She hunched and placed her fingers on Roxanne'
