Sharlynn's POV
I returned to hollow hills when Aveera fell ill after she made me perform a strange spell on her. I didn't understand the spell, neither have I ever seen the kind of ingredients she made me use for the spell.
All I know was that after the spell, she fell ill while I was free from her possession but she started aging very quickly, I knew that she would punish me for my mistake, so I escaped from the fortress and came back for Darren.
Aveera already punished me for failing to kill Darren, she had me locked up and beaten by Founas like before. But when she heard that Darren was in a state worse than death, she released me and I resumed my duty as her wing woman.
In that period, I learned a lot about my powers and found out that I was like an overloaded circuit of some sort, one day I would explode and before then she intended to use me to her satisfaction before someone else does.
When I got to Hollow hills, I was surpr
Dean's POVI was swimming in the lake just at the outskirts of my pack - what remained of us at least when Jordan and a few teenagers ran to me and they all tried to catch their breath while I signaled to Roman, Jordan's younger brother to toss me my clothes lying on the ground. While they were still trying to catch their breath, I scoffed as I put on my clothes." It was just a short Jog from here to the hollow hills central park and you guys are almost dead?" I said in a very disappointed tone when I finished dressing and they shook their heads vigorously as their eyes widened in surprise at my statement." Alpha, we didn't just run to hollow hills central park, we went to the hollow hills cemetery!" Roman said excitedly and the rest boys froze as they stared at him in shock. They clearly didn't plan on telling me that they went there, that explains why they were now glaring at the boy like they would kill him if I don't kill them first." I t
Sharlynn's POVYesterday, after the resurrection spell I did to bring back Tom and Nikk didn't yield immediate results, I went with Darren to the abandoned warehouse because I didn't have anywhere else to go.Someone told me that my family was now living at our old house and Kimmel rebuilt the house for my family to go back to. I also heard that he stopped the treatment of my dad and also cut ties with my family completely.I didn't know how to go back home after a month of being nowhere to be found. What would I tell my mother? She must have been worried sick. She probably already assumed that I was killed in the fight that happened that day.The fact that she now knows about the existence of vampires and werewolves didn't sit right with me. Especially, my brothers, they were too little to be living like in fear of being killed by vampires or werewolves.Honestly, I had expected the worst news about my family when I returne
The next day, the vampires had already compelled the rest of hollow hills to forget the day of the fight and Tom specially compelled Sharlynn's family to think she had been with them for the past one month. Sharlynn didn't know how to thank Tom when she finally summoned the courage to go back home and found out that everything was completely normal with her family.Kimmel apologized to Sharlynn for stopping her father's treatment and he immediately took her father for treatment.When Sharlynn came out of her house that morning, she was so happy to see the streets busy again, youths enjoying their holiday, she was happy that Darren convinced her to fix things. But deep down in her heart, she had a feeling that something bad would happen soon so she stayed back inside the house till evening.Meanwhile, that evening, the Ridges as well as all the members of the blood moon pack gathered at their pack to celebrate the return of Kyle. Kyl
Sharlynn's POVI woke up from a very horrible nightmare, I was sweating all through and might've screamed my way awake." Are you okay Lynn?" My mom asked as she barged into my room. She sat on my bed and caressed my hair, I started crying because it's been so long since she came to my room whenever I had a nightmare.I never liked to admit to myself of to anyone but I never actually had a perfectly peaceful sleep. I always had a nightmare and it was more frequent since Aveera possessed me. I always had dreams about Veilah punishing me for failing at judging the three families the right way.She would tie me up and lock me in a dark cage where she left what I believed is the kanareé beast that Veilah uses in torturing her offenders. I never really saw its full body, all I saw was a pair of the scariested eyes I had ever seen before in my life. Dean's Alpha eyes didn't even stand a chance next to the kanareé
Sharlynn's POV " Calm down Sharlynn" Tom said to me and I glared at him since I couldn't speak. My hands were tied and my legs with large ropes and my mouth was covered with duck tape. We were at the Crevant lake where Aveera said she would be coming to take me. They weren't going to really hand me over to Aveera, it was just to lure her out but it had been almost twenty minutes if I'm not mistaken and Aveera isn't here yet. That only meant one thing, she knows it's a trap, but we have a plan B - overpower Aveera with an army of our own. " She knows..." Nikk said and I rolled my eyes at him. My eyes glowed red and I burned the ropes and the duck tape came off. I was done with running from her or being scared of her. Today, I would do whatever I can to end her today no matter the means. I knew she was probably up in the sky watching and listening so I took a deep breath to prepare my voice for the defiant way I was going t
Sharlynn's POVWhy is it that after one problem comes another problem?! I thought some hero had just saved me from being obliterated and I was already willing to owe my life to whoever it turned out to be but when I saw that striking resemblance to Darren on this woman's face, my mind told me it was Aveera but I couldn't believe it.There was never a picture of her anywhere, just a painting that Darren only let me see once. But that painting was so realistic that it looked like it was a picture - it was Darren who painted it, one of the charming skills that he gave up on the second he found out who his mother really was.I felt no relief to see her, I mean she basically started all of this mess in the first place! Who knows what she'll do next?Kyle hurried over to Tom and poked his sides with a wooden arrow before he dashed over to Aveera's dying body and pierced it through her heart saying with a s
Darren's POVI knew that Sharlynn was at my house and she probably saw me talking with my mother but I really didn't care what she thought of me. It's not that I hated her or anything, I just didn't care about most of the things I used to be so obsessed about.I sat down and listened to Ila as she spoke. If it were before, I'd be mad as hell to see her but the fact that it was her idea that kind of helped bring things back to normal before Aveera almost obliterated us." There's something you need to know Drojan..." She said and sat beside me on the couch.Even her calling me Drojan wasn't annoying, I kind of liked not being triggered every time someone speaks to me. But I was a little irritated that she wanted to speak to me." What is it now, mom?" I asked and she smiled, " something's different about you...I've noticed." She said and I scoffed." Took you long enough," I said nonchalantly as took out my phone to pl
Sharlynn's POV" Kimmel! Kimmel!" I yelled as I knocked in his office out of courtesy. I could've teleported inside but I just felt he might be talking to someone." Sir Ridge is in the dining room having breakfast with his family." Rosa, their chief maid said and I smiled and nodded at her as she walked away.Ugh! Why did he have to be eating breakfast by this time?! The last thing I wanted to do was go say " hi" and end up being invited to breakfast where their mom would ask me about a zillion questions now that she knows I'm Kyle's mate. No, I'll turn around and go back home, probably call him later in the day - that's what I'll do." Oww!!" I whined when I hit my head against someone's hard chest - no doubt Kyle's!" I'm sorry, are you okay?" He asked as he tried to hold my hands but I shoved his hands aside." Don't you watch where you're going?!" I scolded and he held back laughter and cleared his throat r
