Chapter 24Everest.I stood there trying to hold my breath, “I don’t know what you are talking about.” I sounded defensive, looking at me she smirked. “Really? Is that the case? You would know what I’m talking about soon enough, I would have to explain myself to you.” she walked around me in a circle, “But…I would let it slide.”Beta Stephanie moved away without having to complete her statement. My heartbeat accelerated, as fear engulfed me. Could it be that she had sensed something? How good was her wolf sense that she could even hear my heartbeat and that of my child? Could it be that she could even listen to my thoughts anyways, that was impossible. Since she didn’t want to talk about it, it was better to shove it off. Any more argument would get me into trouble.“Now that I know you are wolfless, what’s the use of training you?” she asked. Her words made me feel useless at the moment. I had no words in response, so it was better to keep mute.After a while, she turned around walki
Everest.My heart sank into my stomach, I could virtually feel her brown eyes on me. She spoke with so much command that made me want to yield. Her eyes were burning with rage, I could feel them on me. It was wrapped with so much hatred and the desire to kill at the moment. But there was no way I would hand it over. I had found it, so it had to return back with me. I wasn't going back there without this gem, this was a fact that even the wolf would have to accept. The thought of Alice crossed my mind, but her wolf wasn't this big and white. I had seen her transform so I was sure this wasn't her. And it wasn't any of her crew either. This had to be one of the contestants, but sure enough everyone except Adrienne hates me. Was this how I was going to die? This meant I was indeed useless. “If it's about this treasure, I found it. Go find yours, don't be such a big bully. I won't hand this over to you, I found it.” I said, stressing out my words. I sounded so resolute, to my own surpri
Everest.Moving towards my spot, Alice stretched her legs with the intention of making me fall. I have learnt my lesson and I have become far smarter. Such tricks wouldn't work on me, I had foreseen this. Once beaten is twice shy. I was no fool, I wouldn't let her bully or embarrass me in front of everyone. I wouldn't be laughed at, not today, not ever. I smirked, “Old trick!” Alice stomped her feet angrily on the ground. Glaring at me, I walked towards Adrienne, “You look so dirty,” she chuckled. Hearing this I rolled my eyes at her.Beta Stephanie had her eyes glued to everyone as she scanned her eyes around us. “Let me have my gems!” she ordered. They stood still without moving forward. Beta Stephanie scowled. “Where are my gems?” she said in anger.Alice raised her hands indicating that she had something to say. Beta Stephanie clenched her fist with a tight frown on her face. “Speak!” She commanded. The aura around her became so scary, I had experienced how powerful she is a
Everest Sometimes I wished I could experience what it meant to shift.There were a lot of things I am missing out on. “You can go back and get some rest and take a good shower. You are a mess!” she commanded, her words bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked at myself and then back at her. I was indeed a mess, all thanks to her. If she hadn't scared me I would have bathed in the soil. “Is there a way I can access my dormant wolf?” I asked, sounding very sad. Beta Stephanie was silent for a while, I felt a flicker of hope as it flashed through my eyes. It seems there was really a way. She walked a few centimeters away from me, “I don't know who you are or what your roots are, if I did, I could help you.” I felt heartbroken, why do these things have to do with my roots? Why do they have to link everything to my ancestral roots? “I had no real idea of who I was or where I came from. I had lost my mother at a very young age and met my father later on. My Father didn't talk much ab
Finn.I made my way riding my horse as I trailed my mother’s movement, I had to stop her. Since she wanted the rogue so badly, I could hand him over to her. After all I was the one who had released him, I wouldn’t do that if I didn’t have a plan. After half an hour of riding, I found exactly want I was looking for. “They must have headed south,” I muttered.I rode as fast as I could, and finally, I got to her. “Mom, where are you going to?” I asked crossing her part to stop her from moving any further, looking at me she giggled, “I wasn’t expecting to see you. It seems the Intel reached you faster than I had expected.”Hearing this made me chuckle, “You were running so fast, hoping I wouldn’t get to you right? I never knew you were this afraid of me but you can go against the old man.”She guffawed, “I don’t go against your father, and it’s just that he feels refusing me, is a sin. He can’t turn down my request.” She had a happy smile when she spoke about him. “But you can. My charms
Finn“So there's indeed someone you've taken a liking to?” I avoided her eyes, there was still a lot I had no idea about. I couldn't fully explain everything to her. “Let's talk about something else, if there was someone, I would have told you about it “ I had to shove it off. After we were done, I took her out for a movie. It was already getting late so I booked a reservation for her at my favorite place, The Hidden Treasure. She was amazed by the looks of the place, she had no idea that such a place existed. “This place is indeed beautiful. “ She smiled warmly checking out the whole place, the rooms were indeed exquisite. “Mom, you can rest here, by tomorrow, I will take you round the city. All you need have been ordered. Goodnight,” I said, giving her a peck as I went into the elevator, heading to my special room. Walking into the room, the memories of that night flashed through my eyes. A smile escaped my lips, I could still perceive her scent. Moving over towards the bed sh
FinnI stood there listening to everything which felt surreal. I had taken Thorax as a part of me, we had grown up together, we were more like brothers. I still found this hard to believe, if this was a dream, someone should wake me up immediately.The dark man had his eyes glued to mine waiting for my command. If there was any nut who was difficult to crack, then, it had to be him. Rex's words struck me hard. How can I find his spies and assassins amidst the palace and contestants? Anyways this was the time to be very cautious.I looked at the same rogue who I had almost taken his life, here he was pledging his allegiance to me. Could I trust such a person? What if this was part of Thorax’s plans?“What feud do you have with the Queen?” I asked. He raised his eyelids looking at me in confusion, “I have never done anything to offend the Queen.” He replied. The dark man giggled, “You don't need to offend the Queen directly, all you need to do to get on her bad side is to touch any of
Everest After the long classes, I was so exhausted, accumulating a lot of things in my brain at the same time was a lot of work. Adrienne and I barely meet in class, except doing compulsory training involving our inner wolf, even when I don't have one, I had to attend them. Adrienne and her twin came in very late last night. It seems the whole gem thing was a difficult process.We moved towards the training grounds, everyone presented the gems. “Alice…where's your gem?” Beta Stephanie asked. There were twenty three in number, it turns out that Alice didn't get a gem. And she didn't seem disturbed by it.Alice furrowed her brows in a frown, “I didn't find it,” she said with a broad smile. Beta Stephanie glared angrily at her and moved away. “You also didn't find one right?” She asked, facing a beautiful lady at the other end. She gave a positive nod. With that being said, she moved her hands swiftly at a frightening speed. Alice and the other lady screamed out in pain. “That's the
