Darius' POV

The sound of my boots echoed through the corridor, like a steady, furious rhythm that filled the silence I was trying to keep. No matter how hard I tried to keep the noise down, it felt like I wasn't even trying at all. Every step away from that room felt like a punishment, one I deserved.

I didn't turn back, I just trained my gaze straight ahead. Maybe I was scared of what would happen if Kiara were to burst through the same doors I'd just walked out of, or maybe, I knew my resolve was going to break, and the only person who could trigger that released clause, was her.

I fought the urge to let out a sigh. I continued going , but the torture in my steps did nothing to convince my mind to spare me the details. If anything, my mind replayed the events that had led up to this moment, and I hated that I had to clench my fists by my side, just so I couldn't slam it into the face of the nearest person.

Kiara's eyes said everything her mouth didn't. I'd heard that a person's

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 279

    Darius' POV The door to the balcony slammed behind me harder than I intended, but I didn’t go back to fix it. I didn’t go back for her either, and it took everything in me to ignore the red hot pain that was slowly slithering its way around me. My chest still burned with the aftertaste of her voice. She was literally trembling, wounded, but still refusing to break even when I pushed her toward the edge. I should’ve felt triumphant, I should’ve felt relieved that she would finally stop trying to reach for something I could never give her. But instead, the silence that swallowed the hallway felt heavier than her disappointment.I ran a hand through my hair and exhaled sharply, trying to steady the twisting in my gut.She shouldn’t have come to that balcony. She shouldn’t have said my name like that.She shouldn’t keep looking at me like she’s still searching for the man I’m no longer allowed to be.I'd taken already taken a couple of steps when I realized, but for some strang

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 278

    Kiara’s POV The silence was louder when Hazel left.I thought I’d feel relieved without her constant hovering, her worried glances, and her quiet sighs, but the room felt emptier without them. It was the kind of silence that didn’t comfort; it just sat there, pressing against my ribs like a second heartbeat.I knew this was what I needed. Alongside the healer, Hazel had droned the exact words into my ears. It was more of a warning than anything else, and something about Hazel's words this time around actually scared me. “Don't get out of this bed, Kiara. I mean it.” Her words echoed in my ears. “If you need something, just call a maid or something. Okay?” She'd wanted me to give her a pinky promise, but I didn't, because I knew fully well I wasn't going to keep it. I lay there for what felt like hours, staring at the faint lines carved into the ceiling beams. The healer’s potion still lingered in my veins, making my limbs heavy. My head was clouded, and I knew for a fact that

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 277

    Kiara's POV The first thing I felt was the weight in my chest. It was heavy and uneven, like something was sitting right on top of me.Then the second thing I felt was pain.It wasn’t sharp like the ones I was still getting used to. it was dull and aching, the kind that lingered deep under the skin, the kind that made breathing feel like a chore. My eyelids fluttered open, and for a second, everything around me looked hazy. Like I was underwater, but at the same time still not drowning. What the hell was going on?“Kiara?”The sound of my name was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. The voice came out small, uncertain, and so achingly familiar that I forced my head to turn toward it.Hazel.She was sitting right next to me, her face pale, and her eyes swollen, like she hadn’t slept in days. For a which second, I actually felt bad because everything inside me screamed that it was the cause of her disheveled look. It took a while, but I watched how fast ger hand flew to her m

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 276

    Kiara’s POV The castle had never been this quiet.Every hallway echoed with the sound of my own heartbeat, steady at first, then too fast, then too loud. I shouldn’t have come here. Hell, I shouldn't have even allowed Hazel and Davis talk me into going into the archives in the first place. I'd never been a fan of using denial to talk myself out of stuff, but right now, I didn't mind. If I hadn't found out that my suspicions were true, and that there was an entirely bigger play to all of this, then maybe, just making I would still have my sanity back. Shit. I tried to push it out of my mind, but the more I tried, the harder it got. Hazel and Davis told me to wait, but waiting felt like drowning. I liked to think Hazel knew me too well because even after they'd both escorted me back to my room, she refused to leave. She told me straight up to my face that she didn't trust me to not do something stupid, like going to confront Darius right away. I couldn't even be mad about it, be

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 275

    Kiara’s POV I told myself that the hardest part of what we'd all agreed to do was done, but if I had known any better, I honestly wouldn't have jumped into any conclusions. We'd all agreed to finding out what we could, and I couldn't have felt any better. Hell, I even went to bed feeling very hopeful, just for whatever piece of hope I had last night to be snatched away from me the minute I woke up. I didn't want to, but the incessant knock on my door was the last straw it took for me to finally peel myself from the bed. I felt groggy and what not, but still, it didn't stop me from heading towards the door. “Good morning.” A maid waiting at my door first thing in the morning wasn't what I was expecting. “I have news from Luna Tamia.”“Oh.” I hated how easy it was for Tamia's name to unsettle me. “what news?”“She wants you to join her for breakfast.” The maid let out slowly. “Alongside a couple other women. It's strictly by invitation and she wants you to join her.”“Oh.” I mutt

  • Awakening the White Wolf   Chapter 274

    Kiara’s POV I wasn’t sure how long I’d been sitting there after the pain in my veins passed. I wanted to tell myself that I had imagined it, but no matter how hard I muttered it deep inside me, it could be change the truth. Something was inside me, and it felt alive. “Get a grip on yourself, Kiara.” I muttered the words to myself over and over again. “Get it together.” I probably spent the next thirty minutes chanting the words to myself, but after what seemed like forever, I decided to go back to my room. Or what was left of it anyway. I arrived in no time, and I fought hard to ignore the gloomy feeling that seemed to have spread everywhere. Without thinking, I sank to the ground, pressing back into one of the nearest walls. The cold stone floor pressed into my skin, the silence a little too loud, and the only thing louder than the wind howling outside was the pounding of my thoughts.When the door opened again, I thought she’d come back. My body went rigid, ready for anoth
