Darius’ POV

The scent of blood still clung to my skin. No matter how many times or how hard I scrubbed my hands clean, it did nothing to wash away the smell. It lingered, coiling around me like the damn reminder I didn't need at all. I'd picked up training with the dummies, but it only made it worse. As I punched at the wooden figures until they shattered underneath my feet, it still did nothing to help. The scent didn't leave, instead of grew stronger. And alongside that scent, came the thoughts of a particular rogue too.

I still didn't know her name, but apparently, it didn't stop her from slowly crawling into my mind.

When I'd gotten up for my usual walk in the middle of the night, she was the last person I expected to run into, and just at the door too.

She'd questioned me and my authority, and like all of that wasn't enough, she had also gone ahead to lay her hands on me.

“You.” I snarled at one of the guards in the corner. “Sparring room. Now.”

I didn't so much as wait f

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 92

    Kiara's POV The moment the horn faded away, silence fell again. It wasn't suffocating like the others, and I wasn't sure if the fact that it was different meant something good. The air was still and behind me, I couldn't hear so much as a single sound and that didn't sound too good. I couldn't place it, but there was something about the atmosphere, like it was expectant. It felt like the world was holding its breath, waiting to see whether I'd finally rise or break. A shudder raced down my spine, and that was when I realized I was trembling. I wasn't sure if it was from the poison still lingering in my veins or the two trials I'd barely survived. Either way, I was out of breath, and there was still one more trial to go. One more deadly trial. Let it end already, my mind begged, but I knew it was impossible. This was the blood moon trial, and there was no mercy. Right now, everyone would agree that mercy was for the weak, and if you were weak then there was no need to show your

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 91

    Kiara’s POV I wasn't sure how long I was knocked out for, but something told me it wasn't for long. My eyes were pressed shut, and the moment I tried to peel them open, I realized something was wrong. I couldn't open them.Panic settled in the pit of my stomach. With my eyes still pressed shut, I tapped my palm against the ground. Instead of the rough and jagged surface of the arena for the blood trial, I was met with stone. Cold seeped into my body from the contact, and even though it wasn't exactly surprising, there was something else that came with it. A crippling kind of fear that we bound to numb me in the long run. All I hoped, was that it wouldn't catch up to me at the wrong time. I had no idea where I was and what had happened, and it made no sense that I couldn't even see or try to figure out what was going on. The thought had barely made its way into my mind before something stirred in me. I couldn't place it, but somehow I got the urge to open my eyes. The moment I

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 90

    Kiara’s POV The forest was silent, too silent and I hated it. It reminded me too much of the storm before the calm, but it was reverse for me at this point. Right now, I was already experiencing the calm, and it was a very wide indication that the storm wouldn't be pleasant.Even the wind seemed to hold it's breath as I stepped into the ancient clearing. It wasn't anything grand, just a wide circle surrounded by sacred trees and scorched with the faint smell of blood and fire. The Blood Moon loomed overhead, large and pulsing red like an open wound in the sky. It was watching me obviously, and a small part of me felt like it was judging me too. A small sigh slid past my lips as I took in my immediate environment. There wasn't much to look at, even the birds were nowhere to be found. The air smelled like death, and I couldn't help the goosebumps that made its way down my spine. The test was yet to start, but somehow I already felted defeated, and I hated it. How many more trials

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 89

    Kiara's POV I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped into the council chamber. I couldn't place it, but that didn't mean I could feel it either. The strange sensation washes over me and clung to me like a second skin. My stomach churned in anxiety, and no matter how hard I tried to push down the lump that had formed in my throat, it just didn't budge. Nothing seemed to be working, but deep down, I knew I had bigger things to worry about than that. The tension hung thick in the air, heavier than fog and as sharp as a blade. Despite the unease I picked up from the room, I allowed myself a slight glance at it all. The lights were low, dangerously low, but I knew I was still the centre of attraction. My eyes caught sight of the warriors that could easily pass as statutes by the walls. They were rooted to their spots, and for a moment, I was this close to thinking they weren't breathing anymore. The council members lined the crescent table, and if the scowls they wore meant an

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 88

    Darius' POV The council chamber was ten degrees colder than usual, but it wasn't in temperature, but rather in energy. I wasn't sure if they'd unanimously decided that the theme for today's meeting would be frostbite with a side serving of icy glares, but that seemed to be the order of the day. No matter every corner I turned or looked at, I was met with the cold stares coming from the members of the council, but they weren't meant for me, but rather, the young woman I'd been defending like my life depended on it. Six of the council embers sat at the high stone table. With the same expression on their faces, you could already tell the outcome of today's meeting, even though I would rather puke than focus on that. By my side, a few warriors flanked the corners, tension radiating from every muscle in their body. Alongside that tension, was whispers as well. They seemed to have spread to every corner of the pack house now. At first, they were shouts of fear and worry, but now, thei

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 87

    Darius' POV The dungeon corridor felt colder after I'd left her there, but even with the distance between us, it did nothing to get her out of my mind. I could still feel the way her voice trembled when she said she didn't kill him. I could still see the way her shoulders shook, like she was trying to hold herself together. It sent shivers down my spine, and for a moment, a tiny part of me had wanted to comfort her despite it all. I wanted to believe her. Gods, I wanted to believe her so badly it made my chest hurt, but it was a risk I couldn't sacrifice anymore. I'd believed her blindly in the past and look where that had gotten me. I couldn't afford to do it one more time, not with her, and especially not with someone from his pack. Hunter.The mere thought of him was more than enough to stoke a fire inside me. It wasn't news how much I hated him, but knowing that she was the least bit related to him, made it all the more worse. Why? Why did it have to be her of all people? Wh
