Chapter 39Aurora’s POVI wiped the table with a clean towel and glanced at the clock on the wall. My shift at the restaurant was almost over. The place was quieter than usual, and I liked it that way. No fake Alina to my side, gishing me wide smiles and offering to help me.It had been weeks since our fight. I tried not to think about it anymore. I pushed the memory far back in my mind.I didn’t go back to the small room in the restaurant. I couldn’t. It reminded me too much of that night. It reminded me of the things we both shared of the memories we'd created in the room. The way she always looked at me and offered her help, the talks she gave me and the spell books she brought to me to study. I could've just returned to the building at the outskirts of the town but that's where we had our last fight and besides that, the building had crashed under the weight of my power.So I left.I took all the money I had saved from working. I counted it three times. Then I looked for a place.
Chapter 38Stefan’s POVI stood outside the packhouse, staring at the trees. The wind blew gently through the leaves. The moon was shining with all its intensity this night and for some reason it's power call to me but I was in no mood to heed to it. I don't think I needed to feel the thrill of running under the moonlight. The forest was quiet. Peaceful. But I couldn’t feel peace.Kai was gone. My beta and the only friend I had, the only one I could rely on and trust, the only one I could talk to and share my problems with, the one who was like a brother to me was gone. He left me just hours ago, off to Viktor's land to spy on him and his plans. And here I was alone and longing for him.I had never been one to be kind of words but with Kai, I found ways of showing how much he meant to me. Sometimes I'd offer subtle and little touches while sometimes my anger and yelling at him were the ways I told him I loved him.I crossed my arms and sighed as something crept into my mind and realiz
Chapter 37Stefan’s POVThe two rogues were dragged by men back to the pack house. The hunting he had started was because of them and once we had gotten two suspicious people, there was no need to continue hunting.Although I was still in my wolf form, I stayed behind for a while watching the woods for any more movement....who knows there might be more rogue hiding. As soon I was satisfied and sure there was no more danger lurking in the woods waiting for the right time to pounce on us.I heard a loud howl and knew instantly it was the cell of my pack. I stared at the woods one last time before turning and racing to meet them. A wolf came pounding out of the other side, I snarled in warning but it was too late, it barrelled into me before it skidded to a stop and threw me off balance , I flew and landed on a wood.I growled as the pain shot through my spine. "Stefan?" I heard Kai's voice as he approached me butt naked.I titled my head in a reptilian way, trying hard to control my alp
Chapter 36Stefan’s POVI sat in my chair, legs wide apart, arms resting on both sides. My head throbbed loudly like someone and painstakingly went through the stress of pounding my head continuously with metal. I rubbed my forehead as if doing that alone will make the pains disappear from wherever it came out from. The door swung open fast and I nearly cursed the intruder but it turned out to be Ace…my right hand man. His steps were rather quick for someone who takes time walking like he owns the world and his face was tight for someone who smiles a lot, and always giving off the impression he wasn't connected with the Mafia.He stood in front of me and nodded once. “It’s done.”I blinked hard for a while trying to understand what it was. I had not given Ace any work to do. I didn't even bother to tell instead I raised an eyebrow at him. He smiled knowingly.He continued, “I saw Grayson gathering the boys and questioned him. He told me you ordered him to do it. I joined in to make s
Chapter 35Marek’s POVBefore I could say a word to Elena — to ask her what she meant by ‘fighting my brother ‘ — Kaine ordered his guards to throw me out of the building.I turned to the guards who began approaching me sharply. “Just know your faces have been marked, if anyone of you dare lay your hands on me, even your boss won't be available to save you from the torture I'd melt out to you.” I threatened, my eyes blazing with fury.How dare Kaine? And how dare they act according to the boss's order? To throw me — Marek Blackwood; the most feared and dangerous Mafia in this city — out of his blasted company. The guards paused on their steps and glanced between me and Kaine.Kaine sneered behind me and I turned to watch him nursing the beautiful wound I had given him on his head. “Then, get the hell out of my company." He yelled pointing his fingers to the doorI flashed him a smile. “Gladly. But never in your life order your stupid guards to lay their hands on me, or else be ready t
Chapter 34Elena's POV I stood still in the middle of the room watching everything unfold in front of me. Everything around me felt heavy. Stefan’s eyes burned into mine as his words kept on washing over me to follow him out of the room, but I wouldn't do any of that.I knew that look on his face. He was angry and he wanted to fight.He wanted to destroy Kaine.I didn’t move or even say anything to that. If they wanted to fight, then let them be my guest and get on with it. I'd rate the winner at the end of the fight.The guards behind me were just waiting for Marek to make a move, but I knew the stance he was in, and the inch, that he was going to get to Kaine first before the guards got him. And if he does, the guards would be powerless and won't be able to act anything and their priority now would be to save their boss first.I had no idea Marek was going to be here, I'd have been careful and not come in the first place.Kaine stood close beside me. He looked proud at the hurt fla
