LOGINElenaI smiled as I lowered the phone and stopped the recording. This was going to serve its purpose and it would serve it well. I swiped Xerxes’ phone and it opened. I had removed the password a few minutes ago with his facial recognition even though Luca had to use magic to keep his eyes open and for the retinal scanner to work. I searched through his contact list for the one person who had consistently called him and waited. My thumb hovered over the name as I stared at Kael through the gap, he was still heaving as he stared the mess around him.I was sure at this point he had come to the realization that he had fucked up by killing them even though it was slightly in self-defence. Killing the guards of another’s pack on your territory was a declaration of war because the guards were seen as an extension of the monarchy themselves.Kael walked out of the room and silence fell as he closed the door behind him. I heaved a sigh and swiped the name to place a call to her. I cleared my
Elena“What is the meaning of such nonsense?” Kael thundered. I smiled as I stared at the whole scene play out from the small crack in the closet. I needed the perfect vantage point and the closet directly faced the bathroom and gave me the best angle to video everything as it happened. I smiled as I saw his fingers clench repeatedly in the manner that signalled that he was getting angry. Good, I needed him as angry as he could get it make it more disastrous.Already, I had gotten a video of Luca in Kael’s form, on top of Xerxes and it had been easy to fill in the rest till Kael ran into the room. Everything would look like a seamless video before I sent it out to her.“I won’t repeat myself,” he said with a low growl. The men stared at each other, their hands adjusting on their spears. I could smell the tension in the air, the heightened smell of testosterones that poisoned the air. They were scared, that much was obvious, btu they had a duty to their Alpha. They knew that there was
KaelI struggled, stretching my hands above my head, but it felt like the harder I struggled, the easier it was for me to sink further. The dirt had clogged my nose and my lungs were beginning to burn for air, begging for some oxygen. It felt like I had been shoved into a contraption box and everything was closing in very fast. But even with the thoughts of me dying or if I would even get out of here, my heart burned for Darius.It rushed with the thoughts of him being consumed by those vines, whatever they were. Aveline and Drew could manage to break free from it, but what about Darius? I struggled harder but the harder I did, the more impossible it became to break out. I closed my eyes and focused on my beating heart and the sound of everything around me.The sound of the shifting sand, the dirt slipping into my ears, my pulsing heart and the raging thoughts of him. I listened till they began to make sense in my head, they formed a harmonious beat that I could make sense from. In al
Kael“I think I know what to do,” Drew said all of a sudden, perforating the quietness that reigned supreme in the cave. I angled my head toward him, arching my brow.“We need a witch. This is beyond us, this a force that none of us are truly skilled at. The more knowledgeable among all of us is Darius and he has memories from years ago. We need someone who is practising the art and can fight on equal fronts with him. We have to admit that we are disadvantaged here, even though we have an Alpha and his bloodline here, we are still disadvantaged in the face of a witch that has such ancient powers.”I understood everything he was saying in fact and I knew it was true. I had seen what this Luca was able to do, the magic he was able to wield and the way he was able to control people with just a flick of his wrist. Even if we were an army, even if were a more than the numbers in the sky, we wouldn’t be compared to a witch that powerful. He could twist reality with the figment of his mind,
Elena“They’re here,” Luca said as he entered my room once more. I was in the bathroom, wrapping the last protruding part of Xerxes body with cellophane to prevent the rotting smell that would start because of his rapidly decomposing body.“Great,” I said, pushing off the ground with a huff and wiping my hands on my knees, ridding the debris that stained my finger nails. I exhaled. “You may need to help me with that, I don’t think that will do a good job of keeping the smell at bay,” I said to him. He rolled his eyes and flicked his wrist, the door slammed shot and sealed. The smell was gone. I sighed.“What would I do without you?” I said with a soft smile, rubbing the bridge of my nose, “nothing.” He said.“So, what do we do about that because we don’t have a lot of time left, the blood I took from Kael only lasts till the day before the full moon which is three days away. If we have to do something, it has to be now.”“Yes, I know. Where are they now?” I asked.“There are in a base
KaelWe exchanged glances and I could see that our thoughts had aligned, they were the same. I knew what we had to do to save the pack. Before I took a step, Darius moved toward the spot by the edge of the wall, “we need to find it as soon as possible, the more we waste time here, the harder it becomes to stop this thing.”I agreed with him and so did everything else as they moved to the various points on the wall. I didn’t know what we were looking for, they said it was a valve but that was a vague description. How did the valve look like? Where the fuck was it? As if sensing my thoughts, Darius spoke.“The valve nearby, it will be in the walls or something like that. He has to mount it on something to ensure that it doesn’t get missing. Search for a hollow space in the wall,” he said and began to tapping his knuckles against various spots on the wall. I stared at the large wall before me and panned my head to the side, it was going to take a lot of time to find that valve, but this
