Why try to escape now… the guards tried to calm him down but before we knew it rogues came into the hall.They went straight to the guards calming Elder Covin down who were caught off guard.They killed all of them in a flash and took Elder Covin away right in a giffy. I tried to catch my breath as everything happened so fast.I stood still as Kieran asked the remaining guards not to follow and catch up with them. Let him go, Kieran said.The hall didn’t feel the same after Elder Corvin was taken. It wasn’t empty.It was still full of people, movement, voicesbut something inside it had shifted, like the ground had stopped trusting the weight on it.I sat with my wrist still wrapped in bandage, the healer adjusting it carefully like nothing in the world outside mattered more than how tight the cloth sat against my skin.“You’ve been losing this bandage again,” he sa
Cirgee pack. I said trying to force myself to believe it's not true.Wait a minute, you mean your Cirgee pack Ana? Rose said as she laughed in a rather mocking tone.I ignored her completely and continued in my panic mode, waiting to here from Kieran.Sure you don't have a hand in this Ana? Rose said confidently. I recall trouble spiked in this Pack right from the minute you entered.Murmurs began. She is part of the people who infiltrated our pack really?..Enough! Alpha Kieran Screamed. He addressed Rose immediately. Rose I won't have you fill everyone's head with your hate. I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.If you don't have anything meaningful to add to this issue we are trying to resolve right now, I'll advise you to keep your mouth shut.Kieran’s voice now cold spoke to me instantly. “ It could be possible he went to Cirgee pack but we aren't certain about that so there's no need to jump into conclusion".He must have been working for someone there or with someone there or
There was a pause in the hall after the words were uttered."Signed out using your own authority."It wasn't loud. Honestly it didn't have to be.The silence which followed was more intimidating than anything I had ever seen in Greenwood.I watched Kieran closely. There was no immediate reaction.This is even what made it all seem so worse. Kieran's face did not show anything.It was expressionless but I saw it. Just as a flash of anger. Mystery and something dark.. more like he was calculating his next move in silence.In the little space around us, warriors moved uneasily.Whispering began, dying off instantly at Kieran’s glare."Call for the record keeper!," Kieran said.His voice was steady. But very deep.One of the warriors hesitated. “Alpha he isn't here currently..”Kieran didn't even turn to look at him."Look for him now!."Two warriors left the hall hurriedly.I felt Lysa tense up next to me. She said nothing, but she held her breath.Ronan was farther away, He looked pale
"Alpha! You have to see this!"The cry sliced through Greenwood like a knife.I opened the door straight away. Movement was already filling the hallway. The warriors were rushing toward the center hall.Others were coming out of their quarters with expressions of surprise on their faces.This is happening again. And suddenly my stomach twisted in knots.Not too long ago, Kieran had just left me standing outside my room.And now, Greenwood is acting as if something else has happened.I stepped into the hallway. "Ana." I spun around.Lysa was rushing up to me.Her eyes were wide. "Have you heard that?"I nodded. "What is going on?" "I don't know."But for the first time since I knew her, she looked scared.Warriors kept rushing by us. "Did they find something?" one of them said."They found something on the dead body," another responded. Body? ohh. The intruder.My heart was racing.Lysa cast her eyes in the direction of the hall."We have to go." I paused. But then followed her.The
He looked at my wrist and rubbed it gently.Does it hurt? he said.I was speechless; is it just me or he is really this sweet.. After the kiss that sent chills down my throat I was mesmerized by his kindness.His gaze focused on me. “Ana,” he whispered. Let's go see a healer to check on your injured wrist so it doesn't get an infection.My wrist was still sore from where the intruder grabbed me a while ago.He saw that. He always saw everything.“Come.” he said. It wasn’t a suggestion. It wasn’t even a threat but It was just a statement.I couldn't explain why but I followed.We walked hand-in-hand, so close that I was afraid the pack members would think wrong about the whole scene.Everything around us began to change.Warriors were standing in their place but not getting closer or trying to block us.They were just watching. Words spread much quicker than steps.“That’s her…” “She is the one Lucan sent a warning to…” “What could make anyone go into her room?” “Is it possib
He grabbed my waist. There was nothing left to see except darkness.Why are you doing this to me? I asked.He laughed scornfully. Because I derive pleasure in seeing pain. Then all of a sudden he push me to the wallMy back bumped into the wall. My mouth was wrapped in his hands making it hard for me to scream.He pulled me down to the floor and held my wrist. Tears fell down my eyes. I knew this was the end.I made up my mind to kill myself instead of bearing such shame.He let out another loud laughter. Are you seriously waiting for me to get in?I didn’t resist immediately. I waited. I planned and listened.He carried me up from the floor. Took my hands and placed them beside me.My breathing became heavily. So you like it this close with a man? Do you feel some rhythm in you body when I hold you?He came closer than before. Now it was not the breathing of someone about to fight.His left hand held my hands while he used his right hand to slap my face. Then came a soft voice, fro
The scout at last said something. There was total silence in the hall. But Kieran spoke up."Speak." The scout swallowed hard, before delivering his message.“Lucan says: ‘Tell Kieran this exact message.’”Pause. “‘Ana Ciaron is in Greenwood.’”That was my name. Clear and distinct.Unmistakable. Th
The doors burst open. Then a loud noise reverberated throughout the hallway as a warning sign.All heads turned in unison towards the door. Suddenly a Greenwood scout stumbles inside the building.Blood was seeping through his tattered armor and dripping from it to the floor with every lurching ste
The silence in my room felt alive, pressing against the walls. It wasn't peaceful or safe. Just waiting. I had a restless night, I stayed motionless for ages after the voices outside went quiet. Alpha Kieran, the elders, warriors, all of them disappeared in a hurry, like something big had spooke
Darkness seemed to creep towards me gradually. Distant sounds could be heard somewhere around me, but none of them was audible enough to make out. My body seemed to be weightless and heavily burdened at once; exhaustion had taken me to a place of semi-sleep state. Warmth was then pressed against
