Marsai’s POVGuilt was a bitter feeling in the back of one’s throat. I watched as Alpha Asher carried the rogue that helped me by his shoulder, then flung him until he hit a tree and he fell to the ground with a thud.A moan escaped his lips. The guards that were set out to find me stood all around me and even if I wanted to run away, I couldn’t. They were too fast and agile compared to me. One of them crept up behind me, then took both of my hands into his hand.“Let me go.” I cried, the physical touch shaking me out of the trance I was in.I was in a state of shock. I almost couldn’t believe it even though I knew that Alpha Asher was not going to rest until he found me. I felt horrible dragging down the poor man with me and now, he was probably going to kill the both of us.My body started to shake in fear, and my eyes were glistened with tears. Alpha Asher took a step towards Sebastian, then he crouched down to his level and placed a hand on his jaw.“You ran away with her, didn’t
Marsai’s POV I fidgeted nervously in my seat, as I had never driven on a plane before, I tried comporting myself by staring straight ahead at the view outside the plane window. The only sound that could be heard between myself and Asher was the low hum of airplane engines. I stole a quick glance at him from beneath my dark lashes, wondering if he was still mad at me. Asher didn't seem bothered by anything, as he leaned his head against the seat with his eyes closed. He looked like any other bored passenger flying to their destination—calm and composed while waiting for takeoff. Despite the fact that he demanded for me, we have never been in such an enclosed space together before this moment - not since things changed between them after last week's mission when they were thrown into chaos without backup. The air was thick with tension between us, we were opposites who nevertheless shared a bond forged through firefights and danger.I struggled to find something--anything--to say t
As I stood in the dimly lit dungeon, it felt like an eternity had passed since Sebastian was taken away. The heavy silence weighed on my chest and all I could hear was my own footsteps as I paced around nervously. Anxiety gripped me with each passing moment and thoughts raced through my head. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of cruel punishment he must be enduring at this very minute. Was he hurt? Scared? All alone, wondering if anyone would come to his rescue? A wave of guilt washed over me as well, knowing that our connection had led him straight into danger's path. It was not the first time either; trouble seemed to follow me wherever I am and it would greatly affect people that I got involved with. The warrior who had been pursuing us served as proof of that fact - now captured by those same pursuers whose wrath we'd feared so much. All these thoughts swirled within me leaving only one question left unanswered- how long can any man last here before breaking entirely? As I
As soon as he saw me, his anger was evident on his face. His brows furrowed together while his eyes reflected irritation and fury all at once. "What are you wearing?" He growled loudly at me. "House clothing," I replied timidly while staring back into his fiery gaze. Alpha Asher took a few steps closer to me with heavy footsteps that resounded throughout the quiet apartment we were staying in, then pointed an accusatory finger directly into my face. "You can't wear those rags to school! What do you think this is? Some kind of game?" His gaze immediately fell on me. His eyes flashed with anger and irritation as he surveyed my outfit. "What do you think you're doing?" he growled at me, his facial expression reflecting his frustration. “How can you wear such to school?” "I'm just going to school, I feel comfortable in this cloth," I replied timidly, hoping to avoid a confrontation. But Alpha Asher wasn't having any of it. "You can't go out looking like that!" he snapped back at me.
Third person’s POV As she sat down, Marsai couldn't help but feel out of place amidst all the other students who had arrived before her.But then something surprising happened— one girl caught Marsai's eye and gave her a warm smile. For some reason, it felt like a beacon of hope for what could be possible in this new environment.However, there was something nagging at Marsai's thoughts that prevented her from fully enjoying this moment; no matter how well things might start off now, eventually everyone would realize that she didn’t have any wolf to protect or assist them, unlike most members of their pack.It wasn't just about being different. It was about feeling helpless because Marsai knew only too well why having such companions were essential. Wolves could sense predators long before humans ever do and alert owners immediately they perceive danger approaching via sounds or smell detection abilities beyond human comprehension.However much these animals may limit mobility due to
As soon as Tasha and I left the classroom, we walked towards the corridor where we bumped into a male senior that caught my eye. He was tall with black hair combed neatly to the side, wearing a blue shirt and jeans."Hey Tasha! It's been ages since our last conversation," said the guy cheerfully.Tasha greeted him warmly before introducing me to him.“This is Marsai, she just joined us at school today."“Pleased to meet you," he replied before making small talk with both of us for several minutes. As if on cue, his jokes made everyone laugh–including myself–and without even noticing it at first, I realized how much fun we were all having.Then came an unexpected invitation from him:"You guys look like cool people whom I would love hanging out with more often. Is it okay for the two of you to come over tomorrow night? I'm throwing a house party which could use some company."I felt butterflies in my stomach at hearing his proposal but quickly scanned through my memory bank of pre-prog
Marsai’s POVAdam had asked to see me in private during break. I wondered why he had asked me to see him in private. Could it be what I think? Well, I would rather not jump into conclusions. Although, I was eager to know what he had to say, I had to keep my cool.The class was fun and I laughed a lot, I felt today was really a good day, and I was so happy about that.When it was break, I quickly went out of class before Tasha could notice me, I would rather not chase Adam or his words away by coming with Tasha. She saw him waiting by the school's garden and went to meet him, feeling like a shy girl.“Hey, Marsai. Sorry, I called you out when you are supposed to be enjoying your break,” Adam said.“Nah, it's alright,” I said.“Uhm… Would you like to take something? Iced cream? Candy? What would you like to take?” Adam asked.I began to feel special, and I smiled sheepishly. For once, I felt like a female wolf, for once.“I do not mind taking ice cream,” I said.Adam bought one for me a
Marsai’s POVAdam swallowed his spit to stall time, and then he was finally able to find the courage to speak out. I waited patiently to hear what he was about to say, and I couldn't wait to say yes to it.“I would love you to help me make things work between me and Tasha, "Adam said.“Yes!” I had said immediately after he talked.“Wait, wait, what!” I trailed off. I couldn't believe my ears. What did Adam just say? “Yeah, I know it sounds weird that I can't make things happen yet, right? I just need you to make things easier because I would rather not suffer rejection from her,” Adam explains further. It felt like a heavy rock had been placed in my heart. It was so heavy that I wasn't sure I could stand up to walk. I had thought all along that he was going to ask me to be his girlfriend. I wasted all my strength thinking it was for me.~Third person’s POVTasha had been looking for Marsai everywhere. She was worried about her and didn't understand her sudden absence. Then she head
