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
Kahlan POV I couldn't stop the tears from coming down my face. I felt miserable and stupid and had all sorts of bad feelings in the world. I couldn't see clearly as I was being dragged away. The only thing I could do was scream and shout out to my uncle I wish he could wake up at that moment. I felt like I would stop beating. Why is this happening to me? Why must people around me die? And why must Eric do this kind of evil thing to me? I tried to jerk off the men again but they held me firmly this time around until we got to the front of the Alpha's room. Wait a moment, is Eric awake? Was Hardin really telling the truth? One of the maids walked inside, perhaps to inform Eric that we were in front of his room. I was still crying but not like before. I could see now and even though I was unable to wipe it off, it was greying dried off on my face. The maid walked out again, "you can enter," she passed out the information. I tried to struggle again. I don't want to enter, I don
Kahlan POVHe rubbed his forehead for a moment and turned around, as if in deep thought. Then, he turned towards me again."And you believed him?" He asked, with eyes gone wide.I regarded him for a moment. "Is he not your brother?"He huffed and observed me for another moment. " Are you kidding me? You believe my brother but you don't believe me?"I looked away. " Your family is indeed full of mystery but you've lied to me once, I can't trust you again. I know you killed my uncle because you heard about it all. And you intentionally took the wolfsbane because you wanted to impress me," I pointed an accusing finger at him." What?" He exclaimed. " And Hardin told you all this?"I shook my head briefly. " I don't need Hardin to tell me it was you that killed my uncle. My father's heart was ripped out, the same as what had happened to my uncle. It was undoubtedly you!"Eric sighed. " I told you severally, Kahlan. I didn't kill your father. I didn't kill your pack," he stressed.I regard
Kahlan POVI blinked once, then twice. Actually, shock kept me motionless and speechless for a moment as I regarded Eric.It doesn't even make any sense, does it?Eric smiled softly. "Oh, it turned out that he didn't tell you that. He fed you with lies, Kahlan."" What!" I spoke eventually. " A shapeshifter?"I had the instant feeling of Dejavu. Sonia was also a shapeshifter and she was mean to me. Wait, why am I comparing? I didn't kill anyone but Eric killed my pack. There's a difference."Hardin is a shapeshifter, just as your stepsister is," he revealed.I blinked again. "How did you know that?"Eric sighed as if fed up. "Did you think I wouldn't know such mere things? I know you are a werewolf but your sister is a shapeshifter. This was why I was happy because I wouldn't have to worry about my son being a shapeshifter," he hesitated. " My father married his first mate but she gave him a shapeshifter as a son. So, he married my mother. This was how everything started."My father a
Kahlan POV "I'm going to reject you, Eric!" I repeated in a thick voice. My anger was boiling in me. I felt my body vibrate so hard that it felt like something bad might happen to me soon. No! All I ever wanted at this moment is to kill Eric or to kill myself. Or both! "You wouldn't dare, Kahlan!" Eric muttered in a thick voice. " You wouldn't even dare to kill yourself! I will save you no matter what. You will eventually ask me. You will eventually want a taste of my cock and you will come back to beg for it." " You are insane, Eric!" I snapped. " You are insane if you think all this would happen!" Even though, it's exactly what I want but I don't have the luxury of time to adhere to what my feelings want. He took two heavy steps towards me and slowly tilted my head. I struggled with him but his hand was firmly holding my head in place. "The more you struggle with me, the more pathetic you will get. Like I've said Kahlan, you will be mine eventually. You don't have a choice."
Eric povI watched her walk out, in anger. I was angry at everything, especially at Kahlan. I mean why won't she believe me after all the explanations I've made to her?How could she even believe my lying brother and not me?“So, is this going to be a force?” Nyall asked. He was very angry as well but he would never support the elders on the terms that Kahlan should be forced.I don't want it to. As strict and stubborn as I am, I don't like forcing people.I shook my head briefly. “I'm not going to force or rape her, you do know it's against my ethic. I just used those words to scare her into surrendering and I'm going to do more of it if she doesn't succumb soon,” I explained.Nyall sighed. “I'm worried.”I nodded briefly. “This is all Hardin's fault. I wish I could speak to him at this moment.”But wait a minute, how could Kahlan's uncle be killed just the night that I was sickened in bed? And how come it was the same way that Kahlan’s parents were killed?Was I right? Was it truly
