"Dear goddess." I gasped, clasping my palm over my mouth as I scrambled off the bed, running in their direction to stop them from whatever they were doing. "Raze, please stop." Raze was giving series of punches to Lycan King Kai and seeing how Kai wasn't even trying to fight back or react? I'm certain he had something else up his sleeves. "You asshole! I see the way my sister looks and she's not supposed to be this way if she's your mate! You even talked trash about her and thought it was cool." Another punch and I clenched my teeth, stepping in to pull Raze from off Kai. "Raze. Listen to me." I begged but when he turned to stare at me, he was far too gone. His wolf was in control. His pupils and entire eye as a matter of fact was deep dark, cold and empty like darkness. It kind of spoke of hard years he had to spend on his own before he became Alpha. There were a series of Questions I wanted to ask him. How he harnessed his wolf alone, how he became Alpha, how he started a p
ARYA "Am I dead?" That was the question that fell out of my mouth the instant I was able to open my eyes and found pair of eyes staring at me inquisitively. "No. A little tired maybe but you're fine." Raze's voice broke into my thoughts and I turned to stare at him while instinctively holding out my hand in search of his. He understood immediately and grabbed my hands, pressing it softly. I feel so bad for everything that has ever happened to him and even though I didn't fully understood what he was talking about earlier, I knew one thing for sure. He wasn't lying, he was damn serious. "How did i get here though?" I surveyed the entire room and saw that I was indeed in my room but that wasn't where I was supposed to be right? We were supposed to be up on the roof and this was supposed to be night. But this is morning. Did I pass out? That's the only logical explanation. "You passed out." Raze stated, answering my thoughts almost like he could hear them and that reminded me of t
ARYA Elara left after saying that but I wasn't about to let a maids word crawl under my skin so I took my bath with the herb water she had prepared and went back to lay down. But I couldn't sleep. I kept tossing and turning in my bed with different kind of thoughts flooding my mind. I looked out the window and it was dark, already. The pack had gone to sleep, it was dark and eerily quiet. Perfect time for rogues to attack if they wanted to invade the territory. Okay, Arya. Where is that thought coming from? I immediately stood up from the bed gritting my teeth while putting on my flip flops and descended up the floors to the top balcony and onto the roof. At least, I would be able to breathe there. I would feel free and feel like flying at the very least. When I went up there, I didn't realize I had company until I hear someone sigh and turned to see a shadow. Kai? No, it can't be. Since when did he start scenting like cinders and ginger? Cinder and ginger? I tilted my head a
ARYA’S It's supposed to be a secret! No one else is supposed to know about it but I couldn't stop myself from asking despite knowing all these. Besides, he couldn't hold me to the fact that I broke the deal because he broke it first when he announced it to his friend group, a bunch of narcissistic men and fake misandrist who feigned they hated men until they met a rich Alpha that was mated to them or one that chose them. “Did I just heard Contract marriage?” Olives mother rang out as she walked into the scenario with squinted eyes and a disconcerted smile on her face. Fuck! Bad freaking timing! I could reveal it to everyone else but her and now I was for sure that I had screwed up. “Mum—” Olive tried calling but her mum raised her hands in a gesture that she should shut her mouth. “So you dated a peasant, struck a deal with them just to avoid marrying my daughter?” Viet questioned and my head began running a hundred miles an hour on how to solve this. Kai's eyes were on me, if o
KAI “So let's agree that Bria tried to kill you, yeah? What would you gain from hurting her?” She smiled. That little chuckle that didn't last more than a second. She leaned back, crossing one leg over the other, her smile sharp enough to slice glass as shs let her fingers roam in Bria's hair before she shrugged her shoulders. "What would I gain? Peace and quiet, maybe. But I’m not that bored." She tilted her head, eyes flicking to her brother and then back to me like she was bored of the whole conversation already. “I would have gained solitude and perhaps satisfaction too just to top it off.” She added and then swallowed hard while I raised my brows, my eyes flicking over to Xaden who was almost next to her. She wouldn't know when he would have grabbed her. "But you all already know that I won't kill her, at least not now. If I wanted her gone, trust me, she wouldn’t still be breathing. She’d be a damn cautionary tale.” I paused, letting the silence do its job while I sta
KAI “Arya, what are you doing?” I called out and she turned towards me immediately, the pillar was at the other end so if I had to get to her, I had to Scott over her stupid boundary which was none of my business. “If you come any closer, I'd kill her.” She snapped and right now, she looked like the murderer she was called. “You won't.” I dared walking past her boundary, the floor carvings and she instantly dug the dagger she was holding into Bria's legs. “Don't come over. I'm not joking, I'd kill her. I will.” There was defiance in her tone that made me take steps back and raised my hands like I was in surrender. “Arya..” I called and trailed off when I heard her brother muttering something out loud. “What was that?” I recline my ears but when he stepped forward, I realized he wasn't talking to me. He was talking to her. “Frater, soror, una fortis. Virtus in arma, non,ducor, duco. Ad astra per aspera…” He trailed off while his voice cracked on the edge and Arya's eyes remained
