TAIKA’S POV“What are you doing, why are you begging me?” I say and raise the servant from the floor. Thankfully, this came to my head because she knelt immediately to beg me for spilling water in my dress. Luna Matilda looks at me sternly but says nothing. She focuses back on her food. Warlock has a smile on his face as he chucks bread in his mouth. I sit down back on the chair with a sigh. Asher walks in silence. A sigh escapes my mouth as they give no reaction to my act. Thankfully, I could immediately change my mode of speech without then noticing that I was about slapping and lashing the servant girl with hateful words. “Good evening everyone” Asher greets me as he stands beside me. Luna Matilda raises her head but says nothing, rather she ducks it back into her food and hisses. “Welcome brother,” Warlock says.I remain mute and bow my head down. “Luna '' he says and places his hand on my shoulders. I raise my head gently and fall on his very big orbs. His eyes cover me and I
IVY’S POVMy eyes gloat at Taika as she stands with her eyes directed at me. She has a scowl that covers her face and shadows overwhelm all of us as the room is quite dark.I live close to her with my heart throbbing because I’m wondering what she has in mind for me this time around. She remains mute till I stand in front of her. I don’t feel good. I feel as though my heart has drowned in my stomach.“Ivy Timber..” she calls out and takes a step forward. She was relaxing on a table which has some foodstuffs on it. Zooey is behind me while I stand in the middle. I do not give a response to her call, I remain dumb and glare at her. “How are you?” She quizzes and postures in front of me. Her eyes bulged out of her eye bags and peered directly into my orbs. I pick my dry lips soft and it scratches my tongue due to its hostile state. “I just asked you a question. How are you?” She blares again. I crack my throat to talk. I can still remember the last experience and I don't want to go thr
ASHER’S POVI feel more relieved that I have explained to the pack the problem at hand. Still, I am worried about what the dirtier holds even though I was bold with them, I am still worried because the strength of that hybrid shouldn’t be underestimated.“So Elder Nathan, I need your help once more,” I say and stand in the presence of Kyle, John, and Daniel. Elder Nathan is the oldest member of the pack and has stayed for over a century. He is tall and has grey hair.“What is it? Is it about the Hybrid? He quizzes in his baritone voice. “Yes,” I nod in reply. The rest remain mute while standing while he and I sit facing each other on the large divan. I recline backward and place my neck on the headrest.“So I want to ask about your knowledge of hybrids. Have you ever fought with one before and what are their abilities and weakness, that’s if you have?” I ask and pull forward. He stares at me sternly and sighs deeply with lips cracked and a little opening of his mouth. “Yes, I have fo
TAIKA’S POV“Why don’t we get rid of her? We can just annihilate her and end the whole problems I don’t know what you are stressing yourself about keeping that ugly duckling” Zooey pitches while she follows behind me I halt and turn to her. She has a contorted face of disdain and anger. It’s more like she even hates Ivy than I do. “You do not need to worry about that. I have my reasons for still keeping her alive. I am even more pissed having her around, but then it’s for a purpose and as soon as it is conducted, I’d get rid of her” I explain and place a nod. “If you say so then, left to me alone, j would not have saved her from the Silver and wolfsbane cut. I don’t know why, I just hate her for no reason” she persists and frowns. “Trust me, I hate her more, but I have something very important I need her for '' I smile and shrug. “Okay then” she shrugs and we continue our walk. “ do keep an eye on her because I just have this instinct that she is going to try something stupid. So
IVY’S POV“What do you even mean by you died?” Luna Christine bashes at me. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth slightly cracked. She looks at me with surprise and perplexity. I'm stuck here, I don't even know what to say right now to defend my foolishness. What even led me to say that I died!? Oh gosh.“Ivy!!” she snap me from my thoughts. she advances on me with her eyes peering at me. I stand inert with my legs frozen. “I didn't mean I was dead… But then I meant..” I stutter as I don't know the right words to use. “Yeah…?” She motions with her hands for further explanation. What do I even say to her, I didn't even know. I swallow down saliva and try to think of a lie rapidly, but I guess I'm dead. I can't even tell her the truth at this point. “She meant she died because of the work I give to her” mom chips in. I tunrtk the right side and she is coming from the passage that links the lounge and the kitchen. “Oh…” Luna Christine scoffs and shakes her head. “She is quite lazy,
ASHER’S POV“Brother, Brother” I hear my name from behind. I pivoted and my eyes collided with Warlock. He is running behind me, coming towards me. I’m standing close to the cottage after a serious battle practice with the pack.I have chunks of sweat on my face, dripping freely around my forehead predominantly.“Brother” I shake hands with him and we hug. He has a broad smile that also pulls the beards on his chin. He remains close to me on the right side. “Can you spare a minute? I'd love to talk to you about something” he opts.“Sure” I shrug and narrow my eyes. I wonder what it is he wants to talk to me about that he couldn't say inside the house.“So Ummm It’s about Luna Taika,” he says and my heart cringes, bringing my whining ears to a standstill at the mention of Taika. I’m going back to the room now so I can spend some time with you as I promised.“Why about her? Is something wrong with him that I’m not aware of?” I quiz and rub my hair. “No, not at all” he tilts his head fra
TAIKA’S POV“Asher…” I call out and try to tune in, but I am held back. He grabs my face and pulls my face forward. A smile comes to my face m. I sigh and close my eyes to enjoy the whole moment.His hand caresses my waist and then slowly moves to my ass. He grabs it tight and smacks me. “Ahhgg” I groan softly and wince.His hands walked away from my ass and tenderly comes to my breast he grabs them firmly and rubs them. I can feel it, it is happening. I’m getting turned on completely.“Thank you for coming,” I say softly and his both hands find their way to my breast. He squeezes gently and before I know it, a kiss falls on my neck. His breath hits my neck warmly. I can feelThe tip of his nose rubbed measly on my neck.“I’m always here for you” a voice echoes. My eyes flip open immediately. This is not Asher’s voice, but I know who has it. I turn abruptly and my eyes fall on him. He has a mask on so I can’t see his face, but I know who it is.“ what are you doing here?“I quizzed and
IVY’S POVI’m so close to death right now. Asher is in front of me with his lips way close to mine.. he has been trying to get me to talk to him but he didn’t know that I Amit is in the mood or rather I’m scared of talking to him.I wasn’t really expecting to see him, he just popped out of the blue, and though I made an effort to pull away and walk away without conversing with him, he grabbed me. I tripod and nearly fell now and he held me. His hand is wrapped around my waist and his face is directly in mine. His every exhale hits only his face and I’m sure mine does on his as well. I don’t know how he is managing to look at my bizarrely scarred face without cringing. I was expecting that reaction from him but he seems very calm.Our eyes lock and we both stare at each other. He is so handsome and his beards make him even Lee handsome. His chestnut-brown eyes still radiate even in darkness. His scent is soothing that I have inhaled in my life. We hit do or shake for up to a minute n
