KEIL'S POVWe all sat outside in silence, waiting for Ares to speak to us. He stood before us glaring, as anger mixed with fear stirred within him." I made an announcement earlier- I am now fully aware that the reason behind the situation I am in right now isn't as a result of my carelessness rather my necklace was stolen from me," he said, shifting his eyes from one face to another.As he made his statement about the necklace, most of the pack members began to murmur. Their voices were as loud as that of a swarm of bees." we are doomed!" bellowed an omega. "Who is this Traitor?" another asked.Their faces brooded while they spoke angrily. I could understand their fear.They all spoke with loud and angry voices but I didn't say a word to any of them instead I spoke to Ares, who stood close to me." Have you checked your chamber? perhaps it might have fallen off while you were asleep or having a bath" I suggested with evil intentions."I have checked everywhere Keil, the least you s
DAPHNE'S POV"We are gathered here today because of something I never imagined would happen to me" Alpha Ares's echoed into the cold air.I turned to look at Amelia for her to tell me what was going on but all she did was remain reticent to my curiosity.He said " Something so dare to me is missing. I don't know where it is at the moment but I just want to believe that it wasn't stolen; therefore I urge you members of this great Siracusa pack to search and find it before dawn."I was still confused regarding what he had just announced. Looking at everyone's face there were no traces of confusion and all of them seem to understand his vague statement.The silence amongst us was the loud noise in the room."Ares, I'm sorry. Am I missing something?" I asked in a low tone. He doesn't say a word to me instead he stand up and leaves the sitting room immediately.This made the hair on my skin to stand because I was so frightened."Follow me" whispered Amelia who stood by my side.While the
INSIDE THE ENEMIES MINDLITA'S POVKiel suddenly began to tell me a story "Years ago, the Siracusa pack was under siege. Our rivals also know as the Elisiva pack, attacked us continually without fear or mercy"I coughed, clearing my throat then i continued from where he stopped. Our anxious eyes, piercing each other." It was believed that our forefather, Siracusa, the eldest of the Siracusa brothers, was the strongest among them.He was a fierce and proud warrior, and his enemies feared him greatly. But even Siracusa was not immune to the Elisiva's wrath." I spoke "One day, Siracusa became so ill that everyone thought it was a strange sickness. Some thought it was a curse while other thought it was a plague that had swept through the land, killing many in its wake. Siracusa's enemies rejoiced, believing that their hated rival was finally defeated. Regardless, Siracusa was not one to give up easily. He fought the illness with all his might, and to everyone's amazement, he survived
LITA’S POVSitting on the floor, a series of rapid knocks pounded on the door, sending a jolt of anger through my veins. There was no need for me to try and recall if I invited anyone because I had been alone in my small home ever since I was banish from the pack house. I have not seen daylight or proper food. I have been depressed, refusing to leave my house that was situated far away from the pack’s mansion.The knocking was persistent, after taking deep breaths I stood up and I opened the door only to see Kiel standing in front of me, wearing a big smile on his face. It irritated me. As I was about to close the door back and return back to my initial activity, he held the door and spoke in a low tone.“Wait, Lita. We could actually help each other” he said. I squinted my eyes, trying to understand what the mad man was trying to say. He made me feel worthless the last time we spoke only to come to my wretched home, acting like a clown. How worthless have I truly become?My heart s
DAPHNE’S POVI heard the sound of rain hit the ground, it was not too hard but there was something, odd about it. I woke up suddenly and though my eyes were open I can’t remember how what lead me to this bed the previous night. The rays of the sun steeped in into the room, casting long shadows on the walls. I lay by my side, facing the entrance of the bathroom.My eyes very heavy and without doubt I knew I had slept for a really long time. I couldn’t feel my feet for some time until life finally came to it; I didn’t hesitate to move my toes as I could now feel down. I remember my hands that have been interlocked together for a long time, beneath my cheek.I was too lazy to move so I remained in that position without having second thoughts. The bed was too comfortable to leave it and face the real world.A cold wind then touches me with each gusting a thousand icy needles against my skin. It was a winter- cold wind, not to harsh but cold enough to freeze one to death.It was so quiet.
LITA’S POVThe maid cut the last strap of bandage used to wrap my head as I sat facing a window. Everything that had just happened kept replaying in my mind. Right from the moment I pierced daphne’s neck to the moment Ares pushed me to the wall.“ what so special about this daphne? Why would he do that to me?” I clenched my fists so hard as I mumbled these words to myself.My eyes, fixed at the full moon that illuminated the entire room. I was left alone for hours until I felt another presence in the room. It didn’t smell like Ares’s presence so I didn’t even bother to move an inch.“What were you thinking?” Keil mocked.I ignored his question, fixing all my attention to the moon. A sudden wave of regrets washed over me as tears gradually welled in my eyes. it hurt so much that I wasn’t able to hide it. I began to sob- silent sobs.He stood at the door, still waiting for me to say something.“Lita, what were you thinking?.” His low voice increased.“Do you seriously believe that I wo
