Mag-log inAfter handing the cup back to Topaz, I slowly got up and walked toward the table where the food sat. The smell hit me immediately, warm and rich, and my stomach growled traitorously. The last time I ate was before we visited Knox’s old pack and seeing the food before me made my stomach like that. She laughed softly.“Go ahead. Eat. I can get more if you’re still hungry.”I hesitated a bit.“What if this food is poisoned?”Topaz smiled. “No. I assure you that.”I nodded and, without hesitation, sat down and dug in. As I ate, my thoughts spun wildly.How long was I unconscious? The soup was hot and nearly burned my tongue, but I didn’t care. I swallowed it down anyway. Then I moved on to the chicken and vegetable wraps and let out a small, involuntary sound. They were… good, too good.“We eat a steady diet here,” Topaz explained. “Calories are monitored here. Everyone exercises daily, both in human and wolf form. They want you all in your best possible condition. Stronger. Faster. Wit
November's POVWhen I swallowed the water, the cold slid down my throat like it was the first real thing I had felt in days. My hands were still trembling from everything. It happened so fast. The girl set the cup back on the small table like she had done it a hundred times before. Like waking up beside a kidnapped Moon wolf was just another morning routine.I watched her closely.Pretty did not mean harmless. She has a soft voice and does not mean safe. I had learned that the hard way.Still, my body was too weak to sit upright without my spine screaming due to the two bracelet-like made of silver and I don’t know the violet lining along with it but it keeps me weak. And my neck burned where they had stuck something into me. Every time I swallowed, I could feel the ache in the back of my throat, like I had been crying in my sleep. Which I probably had.“Better?” she asked.I did not answer right away. My eyes drifted to the corner of the room where the guard stood like a shadow. He
"Oh, she’s really a beauty, Knox. No wonder my bastard son loved her so much,” Crux said, his jaws set in amusement. "We could use her to breed. What do you think?" Breed me? No. Never. Knox smiled but didn’t reach his eyes.“Yep. Just like our deal.”"Deal? You'd have to kill me first.” I made my voice as low and dangerous as I could manage. Both my wolves were furious. They don’t want any of these bastards to father our future children. They both laughed at me as if I had told them a joke."That's not necessary, Moon-wolf," Crux said before touching my cheek."Don't touch me!" I screamed at him, scooting away from him but Crux seemed like he didn't mind it at all. "We have other ways to make you cooperate with us," Cruxl added. "Us? So what, you're a team now?"Crux turned to Knox and smiled. "You didn't tell her? Well, this is amusing," Crux said, looking at me with his arms crossed his chest. "What exactly do you want with me?" I asked impatiently. "I'm sure you can find ot
November’s POV“...Make it quick,” I heard a faint voice the moment I opened my eyes. Within a few seconds, my brain in a panic mode made me remember everything before I passed out: My brother and I were being chased. We both entered our parent’s secret passage and we made it out and then Knox appeared. I remember Knox blaming Emerald and his unborn baby’s death.Damn it. Where is January? It took me a second before my eyes adjusted in the dark.“January!” There was silence and I couldn’t see him. “January!” I called again. “Where are you?”I was about to stand up but to no avail, I held on to my place by something and saw I was chained on the floor. Where the hell am I? What happened after I passed out?Suddenly, the door swung open and light coming from the outside blinded me. It took me a few seconds when my eyes finally adjusted to the light. “Wow. Even in the dark, your new eye color stood better than any she-wolves I saw,” Knox entered the room. “W-what did you do to my
November's POVAt the end of the forest, January and I stopped our track when we saw Knox. Yes, Knox standing before us like he was waiting. “K-Knox,” my brother asked, placing me behind him. “Jan, it's been so long,” Know said, his eyes red. “Let us go,” he said. “I’m sorry my friend but I can’t. I need her back,” he casually said, winking at me. It gave me goosebumps like I don't really know this Knox before us. “Let us go, Knox. It's the least thing you can do,” January begged. Knox looked at him and then back to me. “You know you can’t do anything right now. You’re weak.”“I won’t go with you. You had the chance but you threw me away!” I yelled at him.He shook his head and stepped a little closer to me but January positioned himself between us. "I'm sorry about what happened to you, to us. I was an idiot okay? Things changed. I want us to be together again. Let’s rebuild the bond that shattered between us. I promise that-”“There’s us anymore Knox. That has been decided w
November's POV"I don't know if I can leave you alone, Babe," Zeus said after we finished our food that Jordan insisted on. We were on our way back to the castle. "What if something will happen without me?""It's okay, I’ll be alright. Just a few talks with my brother. I’m worried about him. I'll be fine on my own," I said. Zeus was quick to reply. "No. I don't want you alone here. Take our best warriors. They know what.""It's really okay.""Ember…"His tone was a warning not to argue with him on the subject. Zeus never tried to tell me what to do and if he did insist on something, it's because he felt strongly about it and felt it was necessary. In cases like that, I didn't argue with him. "I'll send James and his men with you."Zeus didn’t stay much long after he and Jordan closed the meeting. Zeus had promised that he would lend a hand just like his grandfather had before. I want to stay for a bit and talk to my brother although Zeus was reluctant, he eventually gave in leavi
