《Author's POV》
"Bastard!" Liam cussed with gritted teeth when he realized that he couldn't move.
How come Cain is able to stop him? He made sure he couldn't after taking so much wolfsbane. What's going on? What's making him this strong??
When he realized that he couldn't get what he wanted, he threw away the syringe out of frustration and it landed directly against the wall, shattering in the process.
His eyes moved back to Avery and his anger returned. There was no time to stop Cain but he could still try to end Avery. So, he tried to walk towards her but his left leg wouldn't move.
First, his left hand fought against him, now his left leg wouldn't obey!!
This isn't how his body normally behaves when Cain takes over. He has always been powerless against his wolf side but today feels different. It seemed like Cain was only able to take over one half of his body.
"Seems like you're not as strong as I expected you would be!" He muttered
"Wait.. you didn't notice his presence?? You really are a selfish bitch!!" Lydia cussed without holding back.I ignored her words and stood up from the bed. I need to go see Marcus and explain myself."I know you think you have good intentions but the way you're going about it is very wrong. They all sacrificed so much for you and your response is to push them away so you wouldn't hurt them, that's the biggest bullshit I've ever heard.""Also, about Cain, what happened to him wasn't your fault but Liam's. He was bound to fade away sooner or later due to the amount of wolfsbane Liam had been injecting into his system, it was only a matter of time for it to happen." Lydia added.I stopped moving immediately I heard that. Really?? Is that true?? He would have disappeared?? Wait... now is not the time for this, I need to see Marcus first!!I walked to the door and pulled it open. I was about to walk out when I bumped into a hard chest. The familiar swe
《Avery's POV》My arms were wrapped around my legs as I sat on the bed while staring at nothing in particular. I've been like this since I woke up after collapsing on Liam's dead body yesterday.All of my injuries had been treated already and I was currently alone in my assigned room in Marcus' mansion.I still can't believe it. He's dead, his cold body and the way the light in his eyes disappeared still felt like a dream to me. Cain's dead and it's all my fault.I killed him! I let my hatred get to me and ignored his outreach to me. Even at that moment when he was weak due to the wolfsbane, he still sacrificed everything for me.I should have tried harder! I should have tried to help him instead of pushing him away. I had forgotten already that not all wolves are like their human side.He kept sacrificing for me over and over but I just never noticed him! Being the selfish bitch that I am, I let Liam take over and allowed him suffer in his h
《Another ward in Frostveil Pack's hospital》Benjamin's groggy eyes finally opened again after long hours of being black out. He accessed his surroundings but he couldn't recognize it as any room in the Emerson's mansion nor his office till he finally rembered what happened to him the day before.He sat up immediately but searing pains from all over his body hit him at once, making him jolt and groan loudly, before layung back on the bed. His voice attracted the other person in the room with him and the man immediately rushed over to him."You're awake!" The man muttered in relief.After the pain had died down, Benjamin slowly lifted up his head to stare at the man and he recognized him immediately."Donald!" He called out in surprise, not expecting to see him at the hospital with him.Donald was a good friend and comrade of his. They have been friends since they were still children and even after they chose different paths, they they remain best of friends while using each others conn
"Why the sad face? You already tried that before but the only difference between you and I is that I didn't fail!" Madison deadpanned."So now, I'm the problem?" Riley asked again."If you had succeeded in your quest for power, you wouldn't be here, cowering behind my back like a mommy's pet!"Riley's eyes turned red and she immediately wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes."No! No! No!" Riley shook her head vehemently as she pointed her index finger towards her."You don't get to turn this round to me! Never! I tried my best okay! I did everything I could...""But you failed!" Madison cut in.Riley scoffed;"You saying it like you're the perfect one. If you were planning to hide the secret of my lineage forever, you should have done better!""Did you have any idea what I had to pass through in this family, in your hands?? Every minute of my life, I had to live up to you and that damned man's expectations!"
"Y...you murdered you own father?" Madison asked in horror."I did." She answered curtly.Madison heaved loudly as she shakily combed her fingers through her hair in frustration."Why? Why would you do that?" She asked again, her panic rising.Riley's paused, her eyes twitching while her face held an expression that scared Madison the more."What's with that reaction mom? If you had done it yourself, I wouldn't have had to get my hands dirty." She grumbled.Madison gasped and she collapsed on the bed with her hands wrapped around the back of her neck."Oh my God!" She groaned out loud as her fears increased which made Riley frown the more. She definitely wasn't liking Madison's reaction."Why would you do that? Of all people, why his blood on your hands?" She asked in a low tone so Riley didn't hear her clearly."This reaction of yours is nauseating. You keep acting like you're a Saint when you've gotten your hands dirty
《Later that night》The elevator doors dinged open and Riley stepped out of it. The box in her hand was beautiful decorated like it had a present in it. She stared down at the box again and smiled softly."Mom is sure going to love this." She thought to herself.She clutched the box in her arms tightly, strutting across the hallway, ignoring the panicked look of everyone around. It was a hospital so such look wasn't something that called for attention.Within a few seconds, she got to the entrance of Madison's room. She stopped walking and knocked on the door softly. Madison quickly opened the door, her eyes wearing a worried and scared expression on it.She gently pulled Riley in and locked the door behind her."Where have you been? I have been looking for you! Do you know how worried I was?" She asked all in one breath."I was preparing a gift for you." Riley replied calmly, the smile still not leaving her face even though Madison wa
