Kliara felt the world tilt beneath her feet. The night air, heavy with the scent of damp earth and crushed rose petals stung her lungs with every ragged breath.

She couldn’t look away as Jacob struggled to keep standing after being pierced by so many arrows. She watched, paralyzed, as more arrows found their way into Jacob in a deadly rhythm.

Her fingers curled into the lace of her gloves until the fabric bit into her skin. Guilt and relief warred in her chest in equal measure, relief that her father’s brilliant plan had worked, that the monster they hunted yet also the same person she loved could be silenced.

She wanted to scream, to throw herself at her father and beg him to stop. But her limbs would not respond as she stood still, a single tear traced a burning path down her cheek as she realized the cost of loyalty to her bloodline.

Time slowed as Jacob’s gray eyes, wild with pain and concern not for himself but for Kliara, found hers.

    “Are you hurt?” Williams quickly rushed to Kliara “I’m alright Father, are you injured?” Kliara asked back“I’m still breathing and that makes me lucky” Williams replied “But I’m still finding it hard to figure out what an Alpha could be looking for here” Williams said, still surprised at what he had witnessed.“Did he tell you anything or left a clue concerning what he wanted?” Williams asked.But he was met with no answers from Kliara as she doesn’t know how to answer Williams' questions.Feeling that Kliara was still shocked about what had just happened, he went ahead to try and calm her down.“I know all these seem new to you, but this is who we are and what we do, I’m sorry you had to witness it this way” Williams said to Kliara.But instead, what was running through Kliara's mind was far from what Williams thought.She kept thinking of all her time with Jacob, how he talked, how he moved. How he was always not wanting to draw attention to himself, all these have clicked perfec

    Jacob’s wounds were almost completely healed as he ran as fast as he could to warn Mike. He have always had it in his mind since the day Mike helped him and took him in that this day would come, that was while he never told Mike his plans despite all Mike’s efforts to make him talk.He got to Mike’s but before going in, he watched from a distance to scout out the surroundings, seeing no movement, he approached Mike’s cabin.“Oh no, I’m too late” Mike said, after seeing that the door to Mike’s cabin had been broken into. He made his way inside and discovered that everywhere had been trashed as though those responsible were searching for information.But his sharp sense of hearing caught a noise coming from one of the rooms. He traced and walked into the room the noise was coming from but after inspecting it, he found nothing.Jacob now was filled with guilt and worry concerning Mike’s whereabouts, he had no idea if William's men had got to him or if Mike had spotted them on time and ma

    Kliara was getting ready for the ceremony Williams had told her about. To her, it was a ceremony to make her a full fledged werewolf hunter but unbeknownst to her, it was something more than that, she just knew that today was quite a special day for the werewolf hunters according to her father.“I will be waiting for you at your special place, what does he mean by that” Kliara thought quietly Still trying to figure out what Jacob might have meant by that, Kliara sighed.“I hope that he is okay,” she muttered, feeling concerned about Jacob's whereabouts.But just thinking about how he had survived the multiple arrows being shot at him and still found the strength to transform, Kliara became less worried as Jacob was actually the strongest being she had seen.A knock came in as the door to her chambers was opened, it was Thelma who came to see her daughter before the big ceremony.“My little angel, you look beautiful in your dress” Thelma immediately complimented Kliara as she walked i

    While unconscious, Kliara had remembered when she took Jacob to go teach her how to shoot a bow like he does at the place she said was special to her, immediately she figured it out, that was what Jacob had meant by saying I will wait for you at your special place as she slowly regained consciousness.Kliara’s eyelids fluttered as if woken from a long, uneasy dream, a delicate tremor at first before she blinked, slow and uncertain. Her throat was dry, her limbs heavy as if wrapped in lead. She tried to lift an arm but it failed as she was too weak to do so or anything at all, she felt a hand warm and steady against her own and as she looked to know whose it was, she saw it was her mom.“Mom?” she rasped, her voice scarcely more than a breath. Her mother, seated in the wicker chair beside the bed, straightened at the sound as a wave of relief washed across her countenance.“Sweetheart, you’re awake,” Thelma whispered, pressing a kiss to Kliara’s forehead. Her voice trembled just enough

    Jacob was back at Moonveil alongside Mike, Mike watched as Jacob approached the Lunar fortress. Immediately the guards standing guard outside the gate, having got to figure out it was Jacob, they dropped to one knee, claws touching the ground, heads bowed low.Jacob slowly nodded as the gate was opened and he walked inside. Mike was a bit surprised, he knew Jacob was an Alpha and a great one at that, but what he couldn’t figure out was why he was walking straight into the lunar fortress. And why would the guards salute him like that.‘Is he a royal guard or spy to the Moonlord’ not so sure anymore, Mike thought, Jacob noticed that Mike stopped and wasn’t following him anymore instead he remained at the gate looking straight at Jacob.“Why are you standing there, Let’s go” Jacob told Mike.Mike, having his reason for not following Jacob in, was a bit reluctant to obey Jacob, when Mike was still at MoonVeil before he left for the human world, it was a well known fact that only Alphas

    Jacob was having a conversation with Darius but suddenly he paused as he stared at him. He kept looking at Darius as though he had found out something Darius might be hiding. It didn't take long for Darius to notice Jacob’s suspicious behavior towards him and this got him on high alert.“What is wrong, are you okay?.” Darius asked, "You seem a little bit off,” he continued. He felt that Jacob was onto him for something but he has not yet figured out what it was.But at that moment, Jacob was trying to focus more on the scent that he was getting from Darius. Although the scent was almost undetectable, the little he sniffed out was enough to tell him he was very much familiar with it, if not come across it.Jacob forced himself to breathe slowly, to cloak his suspicion behind a calm façade.“Yes I’m okay, I am just pretty worried about my Father’s health which nobody seems to know what’s actually wrong with him” Jacob answered, trying to throw Darius off from the fact that he had found

    “I thought I’d lost you,” Kliara murmured against his shoulder, her voice breaking.“You’ll never lose me,” Jacob replied, his words low but firm, spoken into her hair like a promise. “I’m right here. I always will be.”They stood there for a long moment, wrapped in each other’s arms, the rest of the world falling away. But eventually, Kliara leaned back just enough to look up at him, her fingers still resting lightly against his chest.“What were you doing up there?” Kliara asked, her voice barely above a whisper, filled with confusion and the lingering echo of surprise. “Why didn’t you answer me the first time I called?” She continued Jacob gave a sheepish smile, brushing a strand of wind-tossed hair from her face. “I heard you,” he said, voice low and steady. “But I wasn’t sure if it was really you at first… I thought maybe I was imagining it. I’ve been waiting up in that tree for hours, hoping, praying you’d come.”Kliara blinked slowly, her lashes damp with the weight of everyt

    Kliara was already back in her room, she thought deeply of what Williams had said to her. It was all true, Kliara knows she never wanted such power. So to her, the power was seen as a burden especially the part where the power randomly makes her read people’s mind and because she haven’t find a way to control it, she tries to avoid as much people she can due to the overwhelming voices that seems very loud in her head, if only she could find a way to turn the tides around just like her Father has told her.She thought to herself that the power was already within her and if she keeps ignoring that fact, then it will continue to eat at her and all the pains she is going through will only get worse. Although now Kliara was ready to accept the power so as to become one with it, the problem there now was that she didn't know where to begin. According to Williams, no one could help her achieve that because only she has the power to do so if she truly believes in it. Kliara was in her room al

    The next morning, Jacob wasted no time to begin his journey back to the human world but before doing so, he did what Mike had told him. He met with Thalia and told her his plans which she pretty much understood as Jacob left.Meanwhile back at the Finth’s Mansion, the voices in Kliara's head were getting too much for her, she hardly goes outside the mansion because when she does, she hears the thoughts of people around her as she hasn't yet figured out completely how to control it. What was worse was that because of the memories and knowledge she has now, she finds it difficult to sleep and each time she does find a way to sleep, some of the horrific memories give her nightmares.But that was just the beginning of the powers she have acquired, earlier when she had woken up after three days of being unconscious, she had deciphered Jacob’s message to her about waiting for her at her special place and as she found a way to sneak out of the mansion and went there, she couldn’t find Jacob
