Kahlan POVA sigh escaped my mouth unknowingly. Well, I was initially anticipating it. I knew Mathias was going to be adamant about Eric being the culprit. I wasn't surprised anyways because I was like that too. I guess I have a long way to go. I will just have to keep pushing it until he believes me."See, she's not shocked. She knew who did it! But she's doing nothing about it!" Sonia stated, half screaming. The girl is annoying me and I might have decided to do something if not because I have to convince Mathias before Eric gets back. I would have to introduce the two anyways. So, they must stay on good terms."You better shut your mouth there, Sonia, or I shut it for you," I warned sternly before I looked back at Mathias. "I know, Mathias and that was in fact my belief. I have always thought Eric killed them but he didn't. I got to find the truth and in fact, he doesn't even know who did. He's currently looking for the culprit," I explained, while silently praying he accepts it.
Kahlan POVShock kept me motionless and speechless for a long time. I didn't even know how long I was gone.It felt like I didn't hear it clearly or maybe I didn't. It wasn't possible, right? I definitely heard it wrong, right?"It can't be!" I started slowly, my voice sounding, unlike mine.Mathias shook his head briefly. "I don't know what to tell you, Kahlan but it's all the truth. Eric killed everyone and I saw him do it. I would never lie to you about it," he expressed.Yes, Mathias would never lie about such things. Even though he had never tried to settle the rift between me and my father, he was never on my bad side. I collapsed on the bed, my head reeling. I shook my head briefly, unknowingly.I didn't know when Mathias left. It was some hours later which seemed like minutes when I discovered he wasn't in the room with me.I was just too confused and baffled. Hot tears stung my face as the words continued to replay in my head.Did Eric kill my pack? He killed my parents? Pla
Kahlan POVI had a feeling of dejavu immediately. It was as if I was seeing a replica of myself and Sonia. "What are you talking about?" I asked, the words made me tremble, or was I trembling before uttering the words? I'm just so confused.He sighed. "I will tell you all you need to know if you will hear me out. If you aren't interested, then I will leave," he expressed.I regarded him for a moment. " How did you enter? Did you grow wings or what?" I inquired.He smiled. " You see, Eric and I could be from the same father but we are way different, very different. While Eric is a lycan, I'm only a shapeshifter," he revealed.My heart took on a sudden beat, as a reminder. Damn! Sonia is also a shapeshifter and she's the worst. I sincerely don't know if I should be talking to Hardin or not.Ok, I'm so angry at everyone from Eric's side because Hardin is going to be telling me about Eric. Somehow, I'm interested."That's why you hate him?" The word went out of my mind before I could thi
Kahlan POV It took forever before a slight knock sounded on the door. My heart skipped a beat at the thought that it could be Eric. Though, I knew Eric wouldn't knock. He would definitely just open the door and walk in since he owns the whole place. "Yes, come in," I invited. The door opened and the maid from earlier walked inside with a tray of whatever. She bowed slightly. "I brought you some snacks and guess what?" She said anxiously. Has something happened? She looked and sounded so happy at the same time. "What?" I said languishing. I'm not in the mood but I don't want to let them suspect anything. I just kill Eric and get this done with. I don't care! They might kill me after I've killed Eric. It doesn't even matter. I will kill myself before they do. I'm going to take the wolf bane too. We will die together. There will be no need for anyone to mock me or do things I don't like. There's no word without my mate anyways. Unless the moon goodness has pity on me and gives me
Eric povSomehow, it just felt somehow. I mean even looking at Kahlan and I could see that something was wrong somewhere.But with the emergence of the wine, I think that was what she was trying to keep from me.My smile widened as I regarded the bottle of wine. Kahlan was planning behind me. She is slowly getting free with me which is what I was desperately wishing for.Now that I'm back, I will try to look for Hardin. He's my brother and so I don't want to fight him but if he's so bent on ruining my relationship with Kahlan, then we might as well just fight till the moon goddess separates us.I'm not going to let him ruin my chances with Kahlan as he did with Naomi. Trouble just follows wherever he goes.I watched Kahlan safely place the bottle of wine on the table, a smile on her face before she moved even closer to me.“I want you too,” her soft voice caresses my ears.I've seriously missed her. I caught her in my arms and kissed her collarbone. She giggled at this and it melted m
Kahlan pov I stared at him, shocked for a moment. What is he trying to do? I didn't try to stop him or ask him what he was doing. Well, I don't even care. I don't care what he does, even though I'm sure he would never drink that wolfsbane. However, only wants me to stop him but that wouldn't happen. The bottle of wine fell from his grasp as he drank all the wine in the cup, including the wolfsbane. My heart made a sudden thud. I rushed towards him again. “Where is it? Where? Did you finish it?” He stared at me with those expressionless eyes. Then he slowly shook his head. “I will not let you die, Kahlan.” My heart almost stopped beating as Eric dropped to the floor. The door jerked open, the door actually falling off. “Alpha!” Nyall yelled in fear as several other men rushed inside as well. They gathered around Eric and eventually took him out. Would he die? Damn! I don't believe I'm asking myself this kind of question. Is he saying the truth? Why else would he drink th
Kahlan POV"Alright, tell me," I concurred eventually. I mean, there's a lot I don't know about Eric. Who knows, he might be more wicked.He smiled softly and suddenly, he was gone.My eyes went wide. "What just happened?" I muttered in shock."I'm behind you," that familiar voice said behind me.I turned around quickly and realized that Hardin was the one. How was he able to enter this place? There seems to be something else somewhere but I'm not going to bother about it. I'm concerned mainly about Eric. I want to know whatever there is about him."Tell me all I need to know," I pushed.He nodded and patted the space beside him. " You can as well sit because it's going to be a long story," there was sarcasm in his voice and a twinkle in his eyes.I ignored him. "I can choose to be wherever I want. You can start talking or leave," I expressed in a firm voice.He sighed and looked away. " It's ok if you don't want to sit. I will start my story then. Well, Eric is the strongest as I've
Kahlan POVAfter some minutes that Hardin had left, I couldn't stop thinking. All that Hardin had explained to me kept replaying itself in my head.I don't regret what happened to him. In fact, I desperately want him to die. Even though I knew how much it would affect me. But if someone could be so wicked, why doesn't he die?The only regret I had was sleeping with him without confirming things.I don't know why that had to happen to me. Why did the moon goddess do this evil to me?Why? Why can't Mathias have appeared earlier? Why did it have to be now?The breeze murmured in my ears as if answering my questions. The air around me felt chilly and I wrapped my arms around myself.The tears left my eyes and I let it be. I don't even know what would happen to me now. What would Eric do to me when he wakes up?Would he kill me? Well, that would be better. I'm so tired of all this. I closed my sticky eyes..I opened my eyes slowly and realized I was on the cold floor. I must have slept of
