LOGINKali's POV I blinked repeatedly. "I'm... sorry." I still couldn't drag my eyes away. It was just too unreal. Cecil chuckled. "Don't worry. Take your time to absorb it. This was my exact reaction when Aiden told me he met someone with a silver hair too. I thought he was lying to make me feel better." "I took my time to gawk at your hair through the window when you guys arrived." She turned to Aiden. "Would she be staying for dinner? I am about to set the table." "She is." Cecil turned and walked away, only then did I snap out from my daze. "Her hair... it's... it's..." "Silver?" he chuckled. "Like mine. It's like mine." I wasn't sure about what emotions were spiralling through me. But it was a lot. But the most dominant was shock. Or maybe it was relief. Relief that I wasn't alone in this. I wasn't the only silver haired freak in the world. There was someone else, exactly like me. Only that her hair was much shorter, a bob cut, that stoped abruptly under her e
Kali's POV A sharp scream pierced my throat. Then I pursed my lips, pressing my eyes shut as I dragged the pin in a straight line. Pain shot through my arm, I clamped down on my lips to keep the scream in. I could feel the warm blood trickling down my arm. After gathering enough morale, I glanced down at my bleeding arm. The blood was... red. It was normal. Maybe I should give it time. Yes, I will give it time. Last time, it hadn't turned dark immediately. Something else caught my attention, the sound of hurried footsteps. I panicked. My eyes darted around, before I spotted a tree and hid behind it. Pressing my back tightly against the tree as though trying to sink into it, my heart raced frantically. The footstep came closer and then stopped. "Kora, I know it's you. I can smell you." Aiden. But still I didn't move. Not sure why, I still remained pressed against the tree. "Kora, I can smell blood. Come out, I'm not going to hurt you. I would never." He sounded
Kali POV "We reject her as our Luna." Those words replayed in my mind, even long after the words had been uttered by one of the shadow elders. He seemed to be the leader because he spoke for the rest of them. Emmett had been so livid, I was sure his beast would burst out and murder all of them. But that didn't happen. Although, a tiny part of me wished he did. I don't care for being Luna. I had never even harboured such hopes since the day I was born. But there was something about being rejected, about not being chosen, not once in my life, that made me wish I could burn the entire world to the ground. "Kora!" Emmett barked. His voice yanking me out of my head and back to the throne room with a bunch of stuck up elders. "Tell them who you are," he said, without sparing a glance at me. I cleared my throat. "Oh... uh... my name is Ka... Kora, the daughter of Alpha Maduro of the Redpeak pack." The head elder arched a questioning brow. "We know who you are. And that is w
Zara's POV Everything hurt. My soul hurts. My chest hurts. Even my back hurts for leaning over the steering wheel for over an hour now. I was staring straight at Isaac's family house. From the here I could see into the dinning room. They were having dinner. Johnny was saying something funny, everyone was laughing, including Rosa. They had each other and I was like the intruder in their midst.I was an outcast. Always have been. Ike was also an outcast. He never actually fitted in. But together, we were a family of outcast. We fitted together. I sighed, straightening. I didn't want to go in. I wanted to go home, back to my house, curl into my own bed and cry myself to sleep. Would that stop Ike from dying? No. But it would take this huge lump off my chest. I don't even know how I'm supposed to talk to Kora about this silver wolf thing. I don't even know if Emmett has told her what she was yet.Tomorrow, I was going to see her, regardless. And no matter what it takes,I will
Zara's POV "The blood of the shadow wolf?" I asked. Lilith nodded, picking up one of the scrolls she had placed on the table. She unfolded it and handed it to me. I plopped down on the couch and skimmed through it. My heart pounding with every line I read. The blood of the shadow wolf is presumed to have healing properties and be able to produce new life. The resting place of the last Shadow wolf had been said to thrive, blooming beautiful flowers and shrubs. Tall, ever green trees had grown from places her blood had fallen. I swallowed. Hard. This was it. The solution to Ike's problems. If I can get the blood of the shadow wolf, Ike wouldn't die. He would live. My eyes froze over the last statement, but to renew life and restore balance, the shadow wolf must embrace death. My blood turned cold. I glanced up at Lilith. "What does this mean?" I asked, turning the scroll and running my finger across the last paragraph. "You know what it means Zara," she said,
Zara's POV I slammed my fist repeatedly on the wheels of my car as more tears raced down my cheeks. This all sounded so unreal. Ike had sunflower fever. A fever that there was absolutely no cure for. If he had told me earlier, maybe... maybe we would have found a cure by now. Even if we hadn't, we would have tried ro make the best of the four years we had left. But typical Ike. He doesn't need anybody. He was all sufficient. And Lilith. She could have told me. She had seen me bawl my eyes out when Ike broke my heart and she didn't think to tell me? I wasn't even sure whose betrayal hurt the most, Ike's or Lilith's.Lilith was definitely going to be getting a piece of my mind.I turned the ignition and drove offThirty minutes later, I was pulling over in front of Lilith's house. I could see her watering her little herb garden with such care. Even a harmless act like that annoyed me. I trusted her and she had betrayed me. I got out of the car, making sure to slam the
