NOTE: MULTIPLE POV CHAPTER.What rotten luck.The enchantment disguising my voice and body is down. My internal changes are affecting it.He sighs. “Look, I’m sure you don’t want to talk to me, I wouldn’t want to talk to me too.” I hear the unmistakable soft patters of rain hitting the rocks outside. He goes silent when I don’t answer, turning around to face the rain.I’m forcing myself to stay awake right now. From behind the pin’s illusion, one can clearly see outside but someone outside can’t see in. I’m safe until he decides to come over here. Hopefully, he will not.“I’m sorry.” He says softly. “You really creep me out but I shouldn’t have been that rude about it.”I’m grateful for the apology but I still can’t say anything or I will be discovered. I close my eyes for what seems like two seconds. When I open them again, I hear him approaching. I toss the pin aside and retreat as far as I can but my back hits the wall of the cave.“So please stop hiding and come out.” He notices t
I take a deep breath and swallow the bile in my throat. “Tell me why you cursed me first.” My feet are still rooted in place from fear. “Oh umm…” She goes quiet as if she’s thinking about it. Was I that insignificant or has she cursed that many people? “Oh! You’re Iris’s child, right?” She looks me up and down. “Hmm… could have sworn you were a girl.”That’s my mother’s name. Why is she bringing that up? “What does my mother have to do with this?”“Nuh-uh.” She clicks her pincers twice. “Tell me how you got your curse broken and I’ll tell you what I know.”My fear instantly melts into anger. This thing ruined my life! Why? What was the reason?! If I wasn’t cursed, Father never would have died because of Fredrick’s schemes.Huh? Father died because of Fredrick in my past life?Where did that memory come from?‘Eldora, you need to leave soon. Your memories are coming back as you and your wolf are aligning.’ Ezra explains.The spider clicks its pincers again. “I’m still here. Speak to
ELDON’S POVI am getting my ass kicked this evening!The last High Orc from a group of four slams his wooden club into my side, I feel my ribs crack as I am flung across the space and into a tree.THWACK! The back of my head connects with the tree, my vision blacks out. However, I refuse to fall unconscious, opening my eye just in time to see the club coming down on me. The orc growls, angry that he missed his prey.“Heal!” I can only use this once every few hours now that I am weakened. I run after it, pressure blades extending in front of me. This monster is three times my current height, towering eighteen feet in the air. Regardless of his size, he is not slow, he has been putting up a good fight since earlier but I have the advantage now.Compared to when I came across this group, he was much faster. The prolonged battle seems to be getting to him while I’m in tip top shape once more. Well, not exactly tip top shape because my body is shutting down but as tip top as I can get ri
ROMAN’S POVEldon had been aggressive so far so why…Why is he currently keeping quiet like this?Say something!“Alright. Be on your way and I’ll be on mine.” He begins to walk in another direction. “I’ll be in the east.” His back is turned to me. “Let’s meet up at the M-fence in three days.”Was what I said that hurtful? I take a step toward him but change my mind. I nod, regardless of him backing me then turn and leave.That was hours ago.Should I have apologized to him? Sloane vouched for him so I am aware he is not a threat. I said all that to create distance between us so I do not keep trying to get involved in his business. Could I have handled that differently? Hopefully, any plans of having him aid us in the fight against the enemy of the werewolves hasn’t been greatly fractured by me.Why do I feel so on edge today?The monsters I come across fall like butter at the end of my claws. Since Eldon isn’t watching anymore, it will be a good time to go all out. I need to clear a
Roman is being an arse right now. If he can’t talk nicely to people who are not Ra, then I don’t think I will feel comfortable with him again.“Are you kidding me? We don’t have time to waste here-”“No! We do have time! You’re just the one trying to finish everything in record time so that you can go back to-” I stop myself with a sigh. “Look. I know I’m not at my best but can we rest? I’ll be better after a little break.”“Rest if you want. I’ll head out without you.”Okay! That does it! “WHAT IS YOUR FREAKING PROBLEM WITH ME? Huh?!” I yell at his back.“What?”“Yes. You heard me.” I stare him right in the face and don’t move a muscle even when he walks back to me. “At first I thought that you were like that with everyone but now I’m sure you have a problem with just me and it’s frustrating to bear because I know I have done absolutely NOTHING wrong to warrant this kind of behavior from you of all people!” I let out a breath before I continue talking, “So tell me, it’s just the two
ELDON’S POV I knew Roman didn’t like Eldon very much but I didn’t know to what extent. We have been running and killing monsters for over seven hours now and he hasn’t stopped even once for a break or asked if I was holding up alright. I mean I’m fine but still. ‘Do guys not check up on each other? What a horrible mate. Phineas or Darien would have treated me better.’ ‘He’s hurrying up to get back to you. Have you forgotten your two weeks are almost up?’ Ezra butts in. ‘But I’m right here.’ ‘He doesn’t know that. Plus, Ra is his mate, not Eldon.’ ‘Ugh, you’re right. I don’t know anymore if I should be happy or sad that he’s nice to Ra and rude to others. I’m sure he’ll be rude to girls that try to approach him but it’s hurtful when I’m the one in disguise.’ ‘You could just stop him right now and reveal yourself.’ ‘I’d rather die.’ Ezra laughs. ‘This is good for you. Exerting yourself to the max will bring you closer to becoming one with your wolf. Soon you’ll be able to shif
