It was still very dark and still the period of the full moon. Ethan hurried, looking at his back frequently in an attempt to get to his apartment. He bumped into Roy and and Laurel who were on either side of Cara, helping her to walk and were on their way to Priya's apartment. Priya had gone ahead of them to prepare where she was going to sleep. Cara shoud be with the two others who had won in the trials but due to her sudden trauma. She was granted the permission to stay at Priya's apartment after Priya had pleaded on her behalf.Roy signaled to Laurel to go ahead of him and soon, will catch up with her. He already figured out that Ethan might want to question him based on the reason why he had always appeared to be wherever Cara was. The thought of Ethan telling him that Cara was her mate still baffled him. He understood how one's mate could react if seen with someone else."Where are you running off to Ethan... you don't look too good." Roy asked him, seeing his decomposed reaction
Roy POVEverything I had planned out was actually crumbling down right in front of me. It was like I already knew all that was going to happen the moment I step on the soil of my pack. Wanting to help Cara had made me lose the fight to Ethan and thereby, disobeyed my Father. I understood every reason why he wanted me to win the trial. It was all for the sole purpose of instilling fear in the pack for them to respect the Alpha that ruled over their Alpha and their pack and not to think of him as a weakling.Witnessing Ethan defeat me during the trial was not really a good thing, as all the pack members were present and now the thought of what they were going to think of me dominated my mind. Now I'm thinking of an explanation to give to my Father. I drifted back to thinking about Caroline. Caroline and I had once gone hunting, Ethan seeing us moved out of the pack on a horse, decided to follow us.Maybe he had loved her before I noticed she was my mate, or maybe she wasn't but just som
Priya's POVMy eyes were opened, laying still on my bed. I had just been told by Luke how my Father was also a very strong wolf. He never told me that before. All he ever said was that my father died during a war. I thought my father was just some ordinary guard who served him according to the way he had once told me.Everything he said gave me some reason to doubt him. If not so, he could have just told me the whole story in the first place. Now I come to know that my Father was the closest to Alpha Luke when he was still alive. Luke and my Father would always train together. They were always seen together dueling with themselves.My Father was granted to take part in the trial and that made him become part of the Royal guard. I knew just a little of my Mother. I never spend time with her. The way she died was all the memories I really had about her. Now Luke made it known to me that she had no wolf. I'm so confused, maybe that was the reason I had no abilities.I've always wondered
Luke's POVEverything seemed to be unraveling itself slowly. I felt fear within me, I haven't been this way for a very long time now. The last time I was in fear was the time I had to fight in the trials. Fear of losing, was all that filled my mind. Now this again, I was confused. "What if everything I've worked for crumbled right in front of my eyes." These thoughts kept pestering my heart. I spied on Eretria, Her eyes were slightly opened. She laid on the bed with both of her hands right behind her head. She might also be thinking. I Sat down alone with my thoughts. I could not speak out, so I kept silent with me battling with my mind. Everything I've done was all because of Eretria. I couldn't let him get away with what he did. I had to take revenge even though it meant I had to lie right to Eretria's face. She did trust me and she still does till now but I could not guess beforehand what would happen if she came to know about what I had done, everything that happened that night.
Ethan's POVMy Father had always seen the worst of me since I was young, he would always claim that he wanted me to be strong for the pack. To me, those were all punishments. Everything I've ever wanted was always taken from me. Caroline was the first to start with and now Cara. I thought my Father was doing me a favor when I told him about Cara being my mate, I didn't know he was just trying to embarrass me in front of her. Roy seemed to be in love with Cara, she had always been with him. That can't happen, I would never allow that. Seeing that my Father could be scared of something, that was a great advantage for me. I thought he was kind of a god that fears no one. If only I had gotten to his apartment earlier than ever, I would by now have a glimpse of what he was discussing with Eretria. But who was she referring to when she told Luke that they had to get rid of her. Could it be Cara, why would she want to do that. Cara had done nothing to hurt her nor had she done anything to
Cara opened her eyes and noticed that her head was on Roy's lap. She didn't know how that had happened, all she knew was that she was awake. Roy was already dozing off, his back resting on the wall. He looked like someone that didn't sleep throughout the night. Cara sat up slowly, wanting to get up. Priya opened her eyes suddenly, still laying on her bed with her back. She sighted Cara who was already awake and about to wash her face. Priya stood up at an instant, standing in front of Cara with the pendant on her hand, dangling sideways. Cara startled, seeing her pendant. She looked Priya in the eye with a straight face. "I'm sorry, Cara I almost damaged it but it is still in one piece." Priya said with an emotional voice and smiling at her. Cara stretched her hands and collected the pendant from her, gentle. "Thank you, Priya... This was so valuable to me... My mother gave it to me." She said, sobbing.Priya thought for a while about asking her about her background. She didn't kn
Ethan made haste to Luke's residence. He had just ended his conversation with Ella and had left her. Ella who had hearkened to the request of Ethan had gone back to the small hall where the rest of her guards were already enjoying themselves. She soon joined them, discussing with a few of the what she and Ethan has talked about. By the looks of it, she wasn't that surprised.He knocked at the door of Luke on getting to his doorstep. He got no response and decided to barge in. He got inside only to see Luke sitting all by himself. He already figured that Luke was scared of something, he just doesn't know what it was. His face looked pale. Ethan smiled devilishly, seeing his Father that way. Eretria was not in that moment, She had gone out at the time Ella came."Father, why are you like this, I'm your only son... What's going on." He asked, walking closer to him.Luke grunted, bowing his head where he sat. `I'll have to confess to Eretria someday, what if what the seer said was true...
Priya asked Cara and Roy to go see Alpha Luke if there would be any chance for Cara to use her powers on him to check out his memories about her Father. Priya knew it wasn't going to be an easy task, so she expected Roy to turn down her opinion. "We can't just walk into Luke's apartment without him knowing we are planning something." Roy said in haste, illustrating with his hands. He sighed but also knew that there wasn't any other option if they really wanted to get it done. "So what do you suggest." Priya asked, wanting to take her seat. Roy shrugged not knowing what to say. Cara voiced out agreeing to what Priya had suggested."Are you out of your mind Cara, it's like going into a Lion's den, you just became a Royal guard, that does not mean you won't be killed." Laurel said, petulantly. "You know for sure that you'll have to make some contact with Luke, right... Roy, please don't allow her to do this." Laurel added, feeling riled. Silence filled the room, no one was saying a da
