Chapter Ten Alexa's Point Of ViewJust then, something clicked in my head. Alexandra. He called me by my full name. Something I've never told him. "How did you know that?" I questioned, pushing my face towards his. He raised his brow in confusion. "You called me by my full name," I told him. "I've never told you my full name. There's no way you could have known that without anyone telling you," His expression was blank. He leaned away from my face and tucked his palms in his pockets. "There are many things about you that I know that even you don't," He said simply, confusing me the more. "What do you mean?" "You are my mate," he stated. "do you expect me not to know anything about my mate?" I frowned. "Well, I know nothing about you," I said, folding my arms, and his deep chuckle echoed in the room. "Because you chose not to," he said, maintaining eye contact. "I'm here, open like a book to you. Why don't you read me, huh?" He perused. Though it was hard, I diverted my gaz
Chapter ElevenAlexa's Point Of View"Clear the area. Ace." "Yes, alpha," "Make sure a proper funeral is made for this man," Akira ordered and Ace bowed. Looking away from Ace, he turned to little Isabella who was still weeping, clutching tightly to her father's hand. He bent to her height and took her small hands in his. "Isabella," he called softly. "Do you want to go home with me?" Issa sniffled, "the palace?" She asked, her voice trembling. Akira nodded, reaching to carry her. "Before your daddy left, he told me to take good care of you while he was away. Allow me to fulfill my promise." Isabella turned to me with tear-filled eyes. Her eyes were filled with uncertainty. "Your alpha is a good person, Issa." I can't believe I'm saying this. "he'll take good care of you." I assured her. She turned back to Akira and shifted timidly towards him. Akira opened his arms, inviting her to embrace him. Reluctantly, Isabella went into his arms and Akira picked her up. In a second, she
Chapter Twelve Akira's Point Of View"This point, this point, and here," Ace explained as he pointed to the coordinates on the country map. "Those areas reported at least seven similar cases to ours. First, they thought it was a wild animal." "After seeing two fang bites at the side of their necks?" Ace scoffed in disbelief. "They are not to be blamed, Ace. These guys are being fed by the vamps. They have always believed the vampires to be their savior," Riaz said. "Or rather, had no other choice but to believe." Ace chipped in. "I mean...these creatures know our weakness but we don't know theirs." Riaz turned to me. "You should know their weakness, right? I mean..." He lowered his voice. "you have a part of them in you," Yeah, these two know about what I really am. Including my mother. The pack members don't know. They just know I have more power than a regular werewolf and using this power, I protected them from predator packs. This made them not wary of my power but rather ac
Alexa's Point Of View"Where has your alpha gone to?" I asked a maid I ran into. After Akira and I parted, I haven't seen him all evening. My thought was that he was with Isabella so I am on the way to her room. "I don't know, my lady but my guess is that he has gone on a mission," I tilted my head sideways, "mission?" "Yes, my lady." She replied and bowed curtly before leaving. Mission? That means he's out of the pack, right? I turned back, ready to leave but then I remember Isabella. Is she still asleep? I turned in the direction of her room and went there. I knocked on the door gently but I got no reply. She must still be sleeping. Careful enough not to make a sound, I pushed the door open, only to find Isabella sobbing, her legs curled up. "Isabella," I called softly as I entered fully and shut the door. I went to her and made her raise her head. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was drenched in tears. "Isabella..." I pulled her to my chest and hugged her warmly. She wrap
Chapter fourteenAlexa's Point Of ViewThe security here was not as I expected. I expected strict security like Raven Pack's but I guess this pack is lenient. Well, no one has the cause to sneak out of such a loving pack like this. No one except me that is. "Gosh," my breathing was strained. I've been climbing a hill and I've finally got to the top. I looked back to behold the pack one last time. I've only spent a few days here but I feel like I'm leaving something so important behind. Is it Isabella? No, it's more than that. I turned forward to the journey that awaited me. It's late and freaking dark. A tiger could be behind me right now and I wouldn't know. Goosebumps rose across my back as the thought of tigers crept into my mind. Goddess, I plea. Make me not run into one tonight. I brought out my knife and started cutting my way through the thick bush. I should be out of here by morning. ***I have no idea how long I've been walking but I'm dang sure I've been walking for quit
Chapter Fifteen Akira's Point Of View"Where did you say he was living again?" I asked Riaz through the mind link. "They say he's a royal blacksmith in the pack. You should find him in the west wing of the palace. That is where the high-rank workers stay," "Alright. Are the guards still asleep?" He hummed. "Sleeping and dreaming," he replied. Aside from his invisibility, Riaz also can hypnotize people to sleep. One of the perks of being a witch-werewolf hybrid I guess. Once he stares into your eyes and his blue eyes glow, you'll be hypnotized into a deep sleep. You'll sleep for as long as he wanted. "Alright." I disconnected and went in the direction of the West wing. I walked like I owned the place, taking down whoever tried to stop me. I stopped when I saw a door with 'Gorya' written on it. Gorya is the name of the vampire who killed Moribus. I kicked the door and it went flying off the frame. I walked in majestically and found half-naked Gorya struggling to put on his pants.
Chapter Sixteen Alexa's Point Of View"Why do you keep staying up the tree everytime?" "I don't like playing on the ground." "Tch! Whenever we wanna play, you stay up there and I stay down here. It's no fun." I whined poutingly, glancing up at him to see if he was falling for my trick and he was. He looked guilty. I grinned inwardly as I intensified my puppy eyes. "Fine fine," I squealed and he laughed. "Just...move away from the foot of the tree. I'm gonna jump down," "Jump down? How is that..." Before I could complete my statement, he leapt down the tree and landed on his feet. My jaw fell ajar in shock. How is this possible? He dusted his shirt and stared at me. He was.... handsome. So handsome. Non of the pack kids are as handsome as he is. "H...how did you..." "Are you surprised that a werewolf can jump from such an height?" I shook my head. "A GROWN werewolf can but you're just fifteen!" He shrugged. "I trained harder," "Wow," I gawked. "Can you train me too?" He fu
Chapter SeventeenAlexa's Point Of ViewI thought he was just angry. I thought he would let me out when he cooled down but I was wrong. He was being serious. I've been locked up in this room for two days and nights. The only people entering this place are maids to prepare my bath and cooks to bring my food. Other than those set of people, no other person has visited me. Did he forbid them from coming? I sighed tiredly and rested my head on the window frame. My newly discovered hobby - staring out of the window in loneliness. Tch! That darn alpha. So heartless. Well, what do I expect from a vampire? I can't believe he locked me up here without visiting once! "What if alpha sees us?" "He can't. He's with Luna Mother," "You better not let Xena hear you call her that. She might skin you alive." "She knows she can't. Jeez, get hold of the cub!" Those whispers resemble Riaz and Ace's voices. My ears perked up when I heard Cyan's little howl. Oh! Thank goodness he's safe. The dangl
