CHLOE’S POV“Abigail,what are you doing? Who exactly are you?” Fear gripped me as I asked her certain questions while watching her play with blood and reciting certain chants.“You don’t have to be scared, Chloe. This is just like my daily rituals; besides, I thought you should still be asleep by now. So, why are you up?” She spoke without looking remorseful or scared about what I said to her.“Really? Are you the one asking me this question? How do you expect me to sleep when I'm not comfortable seeing you play with blood?”As she got to hear the last line of my question, her eyes turned red, and immediately she kept moving forward to me as she continued reciting the chants and moving her hands in a funny way.“Don’t come close to me,Abigail. Stay very far away from me. I don’t want to do anything that will make both of us regret our actions.” I said to her while pointing my finger at her as I raced backwards.It seems like the more I'm moving backwards, the faster she is coming towa
SCOTT POV“What are you doing here? How dare you come into this apartment and act as if everything is alright?” I questioned her while trying to sound defensive.“You didn’t even welcome me by telling me to come inside. You just stood there as I stood outside, bombarding me with unnecessary questions. Is that how you welcome your guests into your home?”I laughed out loud while watching her spit out guts from her mouth.“Who told you that you were welcome here,Mendy? Is it after you betrayed your little sister or after you betrayed Grandma Trust? Wait for a second! Who told you that you are even a part of this family?” I spoke to her in a rude tone. without being scared that she was my older sister.“Do I actually need anyone’s validation before I enter my father’s house? Do you think I came to banter words with you, weakling?” She spoke as she gave me a scornful look with no iota of pity.I clenched my fists, feeling the surge of anger coursing through me. Mendy had always been the o
CHLOE'S POV:“What do you want from us, mister stranger?” I spoke as the two men came into the hut where I and Abigail stayed and stared at us before focusing more on Abigail.“I guess you must have missed the road, and this place isn't the right place for you to be. This place isn't a path to follow; this is my little home." Abigail spoke up while looking at the two men staring at her with no iota of fear in her voice.The two men, who were clothed in black attire that covered their heads until their toes, exchanged glances, a silent communication passing between them. It was unnerving the way they synchronized without uttering a single word.As they approached Abigail, their movements were calculated, and I could sense an ominous energy surrounding them.Without warning, they reached Abigail and seized her hands, their grip firm. I tensed, ready to intervene, but Abigail remained surprisingly composed. "Release me," she commanded, her tone unwavering.The strangers ignored her deman
LIAM’S POV.“Mendy! Mendy! Where are you?’ I continuously called her out as I went outside the compound of my house. I searched the backyard to check if she was in there,but to my utmost surprise, she wasn’t there at all.I kept searching every corner of the house to check if she dropped any letters at all before heading outside of the house. I searched carefully without any limiting factor weighing me down."I hope she hasn't gone to attack Chloe. I hope she isn’t planning to do anything dangerous that could tarnish my image in the pack." I spoke to my inner child as I flooded my mind with different thoughts.I pushed the door of my sitting room open and went to go make coffee to start my day properly before I heard footsteps coming from the end of the door. I turned and saw Mendy with some luggage on her back and on her hand. From the look of things, she looked very distressed and palpable as she stood at the entrance of the door.I dropped the glass cup of coffee I had in my hands
CHLOE'S POVThe blood of Abigail splashed on my face as I tried to pull her down from the thread where she was hanged, but I was unfortunate to pull her down, for before I got to hold her legs, the guards used her as their aiming targets.Guilt washed over my face as I saw the only girl who picked me and saw me as her confidant was murdered right in front of my eyes. It was unbelievable to see an innocent witch go extinct just because of one's useless culture and traditions.He walks up to me and squats right before my sight as he watches me mourn over my friend, whom I just lost.“This isn't the end of you; you just have to brace up and get over everything. Besides, you have a long way to go, starting from now on." He spoke without any guilt in his voice.With the way he spoke, someone would have thought that he was a saint in this scene. He didn't even feel remorseful for a second, not to mention an iota of anguish in his voice.“What else do you want from me? Do you want to kill me
CHLOE’S POV“Was I drunk when I told you to enter my pack?” He questioned me, turning around to look at my face.“No! Not at all. I replied with a shaky voice while trying to hide my face from his.“Then! Pack your things, that is, if you bought anything for my pack.” He ordered with a fierce voice.Without any hesitation, I followed his lead and went into his packs. As I entered, almost everyone was murmuring with their fellow mates and their fellow people in the packs, wondering who I was.“Who is she? What exactly is she doing in this pack?” One of the wolves spoke in a lower tone as she looked at me with a disgusted look.“What if she is the one betrothed to Alpha Jax? Or, what if she wants to come and snatch our one and only handsome Alpha Jax away from us?” Another one spoke, as she was scared of losing her crush to another woman.Ignoring the speculative glances and whispers, I focused on the task at hand—packing my belongings. The small room assigned to me felt both foreign an
CHLOE’S POV“Yes! You heard me, right? Starting tomorrow, you’ll resume your duty as my personal maid.” He instructed as he passed the message across to his other peers.“What about the former maid?” I asked because I didn't want to be tagged as someone who made her fellow gender be removed from her job.“Is that piece of information necessary?” He asked as he looked into my eyeballs, trying to detect my current state."Well…"—I cleared my throat before proceeding. “It is necessary because I don't want to be tagged as a bad person who only cares about her own well-being without considering others."Since you really want to know just to clear your intentions, the former maid has been demoted. She didn’t beat up my expectations, so I had to do the needful.”“Does that also apply to me?” I questioned him.He looked at me, trying to understand the question I asked him:"I apply to you in what way, May?”I took a deep breath, steadying myself before responding, “Do I risk being demoted if I
LIAM POV“Listen to me, Mendy; Chloe has no choice but to come back to her pack. Don’t you know that we are the ones that treat her like family?" I said this to her while trying to make her smile a bit."But what if..."I made use of my hands to block the remaining words that were about to come out of her mouth. I sealed it with a kiss and looked into her eyes.“Mendy, there is no what-if. I am Liam, and I know the tactics I’ll use on Chloe to bring her back. You don’t have to be bothered about that at all.” I assured her as I sealed her lips again with a soft kiss.I packed her bags and luggage as I took her upstairs to our room. We spent our evening downstairs, talking about how she can make amends with her sister, while I was engrossed with the activities of tomorrow, looking for Chloe in the May Hill Pack.The evening was so warm that I and Mendy didn’t make out at all. We got carried away with our sweet cuddles. With the little information I have gathered from my little stay and the r
