Kael's POV

"She won't last another twelve hours, Kael. Look at her," Elira's voice was a frantic whisper. I could detect so much worry in it, but I was not going to mirror that.

I didn't look up from the piece of hard bread I was breaking between my fingers; I couldn't. "I see her, Elira. I've been counting every new vein that pops up and changes color on her wrist."

"If I had known this was going to escalate this badly, I wouldn't have—".

"You want to know what's worse than us being in a doomed condition?" I growled, unable to conceal how I felt anymore. "It's you whining about it and feeling guilty".

Elira stared at me, disbelief etched on her face.

"Yes," I confirmed, "I'm tired of hearing how much you wish things did not turn out like this, and I'm tired of hearing Sapphire say that she didn't mean to get us into this. I'm tired of hearing the problem. When do we get a solution?".

Elira leaned closer so that her shoulder brushed mine. Her brows furrowed with resolve. "The baby i

    Kael's POVIt tunnel felt different than it did when we first came through it. Now, there was no sound of liveliness in our footsteps, no conversation, nothing but deflated spirits and the suffocating absolute atmosphere.The silence of the Dead Zone seemed to amplify the sound of our footsteps, only the occasional sound of a twig breaking under our feet or a branch stepped upon and the crunch of grass interjected it.The light cast long dancing shadows against the walls, making the tunnel look like the throat of some ancient beast. I stopped and turned back again. “I think we should exchange,”.Elira was probably okay, but I didn’t want her to mistakenly drop Sapphire in a sudden bout of tiredness. Better she was with me, and I was sure of her well-being.In one motion, I set down the sticks and dried leaves and carefully handed the torch to Elira, making sure it did not make contact with Sapphire. Slowly and carefully, I l

    Sapphire’s POVWhoever designed the Dead Zone had gone overkill with it. The air didn’t just lack magic; it lacked life. Every breath I drew felt like swallowing dry wool, and the silence that hung in the air was so heavy it made my ears ache for the sound of any living thing.The tension between Kael and I did not help matters. To my last words, he had no reply, and so for the past few minutes—or even hours, I really couldn’t tell anymore—we had sat in silence a good distance away from each other.I wondered why he did not try to justify himself, but of course, perhaps what I said was true. The thought of it was too painful to keep in mind, so I tried to distract myself with the patterns on the bark of the tree I leaned against. The trunk felt more like bone than wood, but at least it stopped me from falling to the floor."I’m sorry, guys," Elira said, coming to stand before us. "I couldn’t find anything."

    Alberto’s POVMy men and I had set up camp on the outskirts of the village, where I did not have to listen to the sound of activity going on.The wind howled outside, but the air within was unnervingly stiff. The only voice I heard was that of my thoughts, and they were saying not-so-nice things.I did not look up when the tent flap opened, and the shadows of three men cast over me.The fruit knife I was polishing with a silk cloth held more interest than what they were about to say.Of course, I knew it was bad news they brought; it’s all I had been getting for the past few hours since I had been in this village.Silence hung in the air for five minutes, and clearly, it would go on for much longer if I did not interrupt. So, finally, I lifted my head."Sit," I said, my voice coming out softer than even I expected. "There’s bread and butter on the table. You can eat; I’m sure you’re famished."

    Sapphire’s POV"Let’s keep going," Elira glanced back at Kael and me. "I think beyond this field we'll find something."Normally, I would share her explorer spirit after all, we were werewolves; we had to find out about our surroundings first before anything else. But now was not the time. For one, I was already feeling very hungry and weak.They were moving forward, so I decided I might as well join them if I didn’t want to be left behind."Do you think there's anything to eat around here? These trees don’t look like they bear fruit," Kael observed, looking up and around.The words had barely left his mouth when a wind when a gust of wind passed over the place, making our clothes billow as it did. Right before our eyes, the atmosphere changed.What was once sunny was now very cool. It was still bright, if this dull illumination could be called bright, but what got me scared was what happened to the vegetation. The gra

  • Hooked Between the Alpha Twins   Chapter 16

    Saphire's POVEvery bone in my body hurts. I groaned, rolling onto my side, the urge to stand up evasive. I blinked into the darkness and shut my eyes again. Perhaps I could just stay here and die. What was the point of getting up to keep on moving anyway? Alberto was clearly not going to let me go, and if moving meant running, I had just had enough of that."Sapphire!" I heard my name. It was Elira’s voice and Kael’s voice followed. “Sapphire, where are you?”Why didn’t they just leave me be? I thought. If I kept my eyes closed for long enough, I would fade away, but they were drawing me back to consciousness. Perfect. It would be unfair to just ignore them, leaving them worried. They'd probably find me in the long run anyway. They kept calling my name, so I finally managed to sit up. “Ouch!” I groaned, clutching my head. I must have hit it somewhere. “Did you hear that?” Kael asked. “Hear what?” came Elira’s reply. “There was a rustle of leaves. I think she’s around here somew
