Pain was the first thing my body registered the moment I opened my eyes. It wasn't sharp and excruciating like the aftermath of Hunter's guards torturing me, neither was it as destabilizing as Vivian's insults. The pain that woke me was dull , just barely there to hint that I was still alive.

My eyes blinked to a ceiling I couldn't recognize. Even the stone walls didn't help in jogging my memory. Warm light filled the room and I traced it to a lamp shining in the corner. A small part of me had expected blood stained walls, and perhaps the stale stench of decayed bodies. That was usually the signature scent in the dungeons, so why was this different?

One more look at my surroundings proved I wasn't in the dungeon and I couldn't help but wonder why.

I tried to sit up, and winced as pain spread through my body. Something poked at my sides, and I came to realize they were bandages. Someone had tended to my wounds. Why?

I was a rogue, and rogues didn't get kindness. All we got was pain

    Darius' POV The door clicked shut behind me, but I didn't move, not right away. How could I? Not when my thoughts were all over the place, and the strange sensation pulsing in the centre of my chest had refused to let me go. I pushed the thoughts aside as I walked in the direction of my bedroom. Goddess knows I couldn't see a thing, just the blur of the walls and lights I passed. The further I walked, the more it looked like I was rooted to one spot. Everyone knew my room was in the other side of the wing, but right now, it looked almost impossible to get there. The last thing I wanted was to bump into someone, even a guard. The chances of me punching one of them in the face was high, and I would gladly choose combusting due to anger than melting it out on an innocent person. A sigh of relief danced on my tongue when I reached my quarters, but I didn't let it out. Not yet. The moment I'd pushed my bedroom door behind me though, I let it all out. I stood inside, my hands clenche

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 93

    Kiara’s POV A small groan slid past my lips as I tilted to the side. My body hurts, and the moment I tried to keep it at an angle that I thought would be a bit comfortable, I regretted it immediately. Red hot pain seared up my side, and it was a miracle how I didn't yell at the top of my voice. In fact, I wasn't even sure I still had one, thanks to the burn that laced the base of my throat. It was a hassle pushing down sakica to live, so I couldn't even imagine the pain that would come with speaking. But if I couldn't speak, was I automatically going to remain mute?A dull throb formed at the back of my head, and I silently cursed at my own luck. I'd been trying to figure out a way to not be in pain, but somehow, all I'd been doing was the complete opposite. It was a miracle how I was still alive, and I knew I should be grateful for that, but the never ending pain kinda made it impossible to follow through with. Slowly, and after muttering a prayer to the moon goddess, I peeled m

  • 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
