"Well, I am sorry that I can't help you all. But I can only say that the day they left here they seemed anxious about something. I don't know what. At that time I asked them what was wrong, but Adonis didn't even bother to answer me. The next morning he just left without bidding me a farewell." Clarissa explained, one of her hands moving forward gently tapping her forehead with a white handkerchief."Are you friends with my father?" I asked feeling that the way she addressed him was too familiar. If they weren't friends then they were involved in some queer relationship."Yeah. When we were young, the two of us used to live in the same pack."She didn't say anything after and only looked at the bracelet in her hand, playing with it for a moment before she averted her gaze and reached for a cup of tea that had been served thirty minutes ago."How come he never mentioned he had a daughter before?" She suddenly asked appearing somewhat confused."We got separated and just reunited a few m
"So you mean if we were doing it you wouldn't have seen it through the window or heard any sounds through the door?" Mason asked. He seemed not embarrassed at all. I really wanted to kill him as well. Why am I surrounded by idiots? All the men in my life need a good beating."Stop talking." I ended up snapping at them when they continued discussing it. All five of them looked at me, their heated session dying down. Mason walked over to me and started pacifying me the other four just watched appearing as if they were watching an interesting show."Come on guys, do you have any plans on what we are going to do?" They all shook their heads, and after that, they joined the two of us on the bed. "Nonetheless we have to continue searching," Mason spoke, and the others agreed. "Where do we start?" I asked."We have no choice but to go to the city." Ace commented while playing with my hair. I hummed. I was feeling sleepy and felt somewhat fatigued. I didn't listen to the latter half of thei
I asked them before they could even settle their umbrellas at the back. The rain had just stopped. "The motel staff told us that there was indeed an attack a month ago." Ace informed us while balancing himself when the car started on, leaving the motel behind."They told us that on the third of that month, a couple came looking for a room to spend a night in. The couple appeared as if they were new to the city. They paid a huge sum for it and didn't even ask for the change. The staff was happy and treated them the best they could. One woman amongst the staff continued on saying that, after about eight hours after the couple settled in their room, they heard some sounds coming from there. Movements of someone fighting reached them from below the second floor. At some point, they heard a howl and some sorrowful screams of a woman. When they went to check they found no one in the room, only shards of broken glass were found on the floor. Everything else remained as it was." Ace finished
I remember sleeping in my mate's arms when suddenly I felt my body become lighter as I fell deep towards a bright surface. When I managed to step onto the ground, I looked around everywhere trying to find where I was. I pinched myself on the cheek trying to find out if this was a dream or not. When I felt nothing, my finger deeped into something cool, not anything tangible. I knew that this wasn't the real world and also that I was dreaming. I then started wondering why it felt so real. The place I was standing on was a hilly area, with long grass that reached my knees. It was a field stretching out as far as my eyes could see. I circled in one place looking at the vast land trying to find someone who I could talk with.That was when I spotted a small figure from afar. I couldn't decipher what it was. But it was definitely not a human. The thing swerved in the grass heading towards me. I didn't think of running and just stood still until it stopped in front of me.My eyes couldn't mo
MASON'S POVEverything was alright until the moment I woke up holding my mate in an embrace. She was still, with beads of sweat on her forehead. I brought my hand to her head wanting to feel her temperature. That was when I realized that something was wrong with her."Little one, wake up." I tried, gently shaking her on the shoulder.At this time she would have woken up already but today she was just sleeping there seeming flat. At first, I thought she was perhaps tired and wanted to rest more. But if that was the case she would've grumbled something in her sleep or something.I got down from the bed and reached for a glass full of water. I dipped my hand it and cupped some water which I sprinkled on her face hoping to wake her and take her to see a nurse or something.She didn't even flinch or make a move to indicate that the water had affected her. I started freaking out and shouted for her brothers and Nelson to come to help me.It didn't take even a minute for the four of them to s
When I passed through the blinding light, the first thing that came into my sight was a huge tree at the periphery of a field that stretched miles away. The tree had no leaves, and its bark had blackened and rotten over the years. On the trunk just close to the ground, there was an opening just big enough for a person to fit in. I headed towards it hoping to find Charlotte inside it. I was about to enter when I heard some clapping behind me followed by some hysterical laughter from a male who seemed to be moving close to me."Welcome, Alpha Mason Helm." I could hear some mockery in his voice. I turned around wanting to see this person. My eyes landed on a tall and buff guy who was a bit taller than me. He had a dark complexion and looked quite pleased by my visit. He was wearing a cloak, which covered the rest of his body. "Do you recognize me?" He asked whilst stopping in front of me. I looked into my memory, checking to see if I had seen him somewhere or not. He was familiar but
"You remember?" Kevin asked me the moment I opened my eyes.I didn't answer him instead my eyes filled with so much hatred, and anger which I couldn't describe. For I wanted to kill this guy a million times. First, he took my father away from me and now he was planning to take Charlotte as well. I just couldn't allow him to do that."Who gave you the right to take her from me?" My eyes changed from green to red in an instant. I still had my reasoning but the urge to end him was uncontrollable. My hands trembled with fury, my sharp and pointy nails emerging from the normal ones.Kevin didn't even bother with my question and he didn't even react when I launched an attack on him. I aimed at his neck wanting to squeeze him to death. But my hand went through his body and my nails came in contact with the buck he was leaning on. My eyes filled with so much confusion before Kevin raised his hand and grabbed my hand and twisted it. He pushed me to him and pinned me on the tree."Surprised? If
CHARLOTTE'S POVI was very happy when I saw him in front of me. Even though I noticed him unable to move just like me a few hours ago, it touched me to see him here.I hurried to him and launched my body over to him not at all caring that the guy named Kevin was still there. I puffed a breath when I managed to touch him skin to skin. I had feared that I couldn't touch him just like what happened to me the moment when I just entered this place.The two conversed with each other and I didn't even bother to listen to what they were saying. All my attention was on the comfort that I was feeling after being away from him all this while. It felt like we were separated from each other for thousands of years.Suddenly, I felt Mason move and untied my hands before he started muttering some foreign language. He raised his hand high above as if he was yearning to touch the fluffy clouds in the sky that were accumulating by each whisper that came out of his mouth. The once cloudless blue sky was
