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
Sonia POVI stared up at Michelle for a moment as she continued to give places to the maid. I've been working harder to get a job as the Alpha's dresser.I mean aside from the fact that I get to be with Eric, my allowance would increase. I would even get a separate room.Damn, it's all I ever want. I'm so tired of sharing a room with these bitches and stinking maids. I can't wait to get to the top.And for Kahlan, I'm not at all worried about her. I hate her in the first place anyways. I don't care if she gets killed as long as she stays out of my way.I'm going to have Eric no matter what. I'm not bothered about his crimes or the fact that he might have been the one to kill my family. I'm getting revenge but not until I get the power. This is why I say Kahlan is very stupid. How could she directly fight with Eric? Eric is very strong, a big Lycan Alpha at that. Does she think she can defeat him? No wonder she's getting locked up. I don't pity her, I just don't want her to meddle in
Kahlan POV The dungeon is as cold as I've heard. It's very cold and very dark but it's the least of my problem at this moment. My mind is in a whirling confusion. I don't even know who to believe. Am I supposed to believe Eric? Or Hardin despite all I found out about him? Or Mathias? Why shouldn't I believe Mathias? I mean there's no way why he would want to stop me from mating Eric. He wouldn't have a hidden motive. I felt the tears slip out of my eyes again. I felt helpless. There's nothing I can do anyways or is there? Eric will stop at nothing to have an heir. Though I plan to prevent that, it just seems so difficult and painful for me. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do now. I felt a slight poke at my arm, accompanied by this weird scent. I jerked out of my thoughts and looked up. My eyes went wide with shock at who I was looking at. I wasn't really expecting him, I think it's the reason why I'm so shocked because Hardin has appeared this way before. "Are you crying
Kahlan POVA few minutes after Hardin had left, I was still confused. I couldn't cry again because it looked like I had no tears in my eyes.The dungeon got colder as the night went deeper. The clothes I was putting on did little to warm me up. I sat and pulled my body closer.But the cold wouldn't stop and I ended up shivering so hard that it felt like I might die from it. It felt like all the air in the whole universe was concentrated on me.I tried to close my eyes, perhaps I would stop feeling the pain when I'm asleep.Suddenly, a soft fur came over my body and I looked up at Hardin. I didn't move yet and I doubt he saw my eyes open. It was getting rather dark in the dungeon."Damn, you are shivering," he exclaimed softly as if trying not to wake me up.I acted like I was asleep but I continued to watch him.He stepped back after the quilt was all me. "See you in the morning. Don't worry, he wouldn't know about this, Kahlan," and that was when I sat up, shocked for a moment.I had
Eric pov“You will die, Kahlan,” I repeated, with a scary expression so that she could feel threatened. It's the only way out.Kahlan’s eyes went wide with shock as she didn't expect what I had said. I didn't expect it as well but as it turns out, it has to be this way.“Take her away! Now!” Nyall ordered before he moved nearer to me.I turned around and moved towards the meeting room with Nyall. I'm discussing with the elders concerning Kahlan.The elders have grown impatient these days. And after they heard that the mating had been called off, they grew even more impatient. Though, I barely blame them. I mean it's getting late and I'm getting impatient as well. “But are you really going to kill her?” Nyall asked on our way to the meeting room.I shook my head briefly. “I will never do that. I will never hurt Kahlan. I'm only trying to protect her from the elders,” I assured Nyall.Though, Nyall hates Kahlan and doesn't agree with the fact that I'm going to stay with her or protect
