TAYLOR’S POV“She cannot see you.” The priest reminded me, coldly.I sealed my lips, letting out a sad breath. The girl kept looking right into my eyes. Everything about her, was exactly like me. Not a inch out of place. The young SHILA turned around and faced the house again. Almost immediately after she did, two adults came out. The she-wolf among them was crying, uncontrollably. There was a pained look in the eyes of the man who held her. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that this was the day SHILA’s little sister died. SHILA did not look sad. To be frank, she didn’t wart any look at all. Like she wasn’t sure how to feel. My eyes left the grieving couple and I stared at the door. I saw a little hand and half a face. The rest of the little wolf’s body had been hidden behind the door. The child seemed to b watching the crying couple.“Is that Oscala?” I asked. “Indeed it is. The little fool has been breaking rules since he learned how to walk apparently. A chosen one should never
TAYLOR’S POV“Show me what you see.” I whispered, tenderly. I hoped that he could hear my voice and feel how concerned I was for him right now. Everything seemed to disappear at that moment and all l could focus on, was him.“Oscala please. You are scaring me. Let me help you.” A breath escaped his lips, his eyes slowly closing. I could feel a surge of energy filling me up. I could see bright white light blurring my vision.I tried to comprehend what we happening but before I could, the light enveloped the world around me immediately. I saw myself in a place I couldn’t recognize. White curtains fell all around me, sweeping the white floor beneath my feet. I spun around, looking left, right, side and side but I couldn’t see anything beyond the curtains although they seemed as if they were transparent.I took slow, steady breaths, calculating how I got here and what I should do. The only thing that made sense was to call out for Oscala.“Oscala! Oscala can you hear me?! Oscala!”“Ove
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVENTAYLOR’S POV“You’ve read my mind.” I remarked casually. Hoping to hide how worried it made me feel. “Honestly Taylor, if I say your claims are unfounded, I would be lying. I know for a fact that I was drawn to you because of your mother’s energy. And I wanted you because I wanted your mother. I thought I could replace her with you. I was a fool anyways.”He let his fingers slide off my chin. It felt more like a caress. He moved away, his back to me. “Do you think my mother is the kind to do that? To bring herself back at the expense of her own daughter’s spirit.”“Taylor, I don’t know. I am not your mother. All I know is that she always gets what she want. However I can’t say for sure if coming back is what she wants and if it is, I still can’t tell you for sure that she intends to sacrifice you to do it. Come, let’s keep going while we talk.”“Alright.” I joined him. We made our way through the back, around the house and into the bushes. All that
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIXTAYLOR’S POV“Okay hold on a second.” I said, standing up. “We can’t just pin this on my father because he is not here. None of you knows who my real father is. You can’t just assume that he is a shape shifting maniac that willing to sleep with a man and a woman just to get what he wants.”My eyes feel on Zephyr’s. He seemed quite calm but I could tell he wasn’t . He wanted something to make sense, anything at all. He needed closure for his father’s death. “His blood is running through my veins too. If he was like that like that, some of it would have rubbed off on me now wouldn’t it?” Zephyr looked away. “Perhaps.” Oscala chipped in, thoughtfully.“We won’t rule anything out.” Zephyr said.“Since we aren’t then we should explore the option that the twin sister of SHILA didn’t die.” Theodore said, out of the blue. We all looked at him. He smiled and warmly. I knew immediately that he was smiling at me. I couldn’t help but return the favor.“Think ab
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVEZEPHYR’S POVOscala shut his eyes, accepting his fate. Perhaps this would not kill him but he didn’t seem to care whether it would or it wouldn’t. This was his idea of damage control. To take all the heat. My hands shook, my heart ached, my face wet with tears and I really wanted to use him to let out all the hurt inside me. But something in me told me that Oscala was hurting too. And he was giving in to me because he was blaming himself too and he had convinced himself that what I was about to do was the punishment he deserved. I took a deep breath and I exhaled. My lips parted and I said to him. “This is not what you deserve. I won’t let you use me to mend your guilty spirit.”I threw the tree away, the crash shaking the ground beneath us. Something in me told me that Taylor and Theo would be here soon. There was no way they would hear this and sit put.I stretched out my hand to Oscala, he took it and I raised him up. He hugged me. .“Just for a
CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOURZEPHYR’S POVTheodore drove down the empty path. The car was in absolute silence. Taylor lay on my lap and I stroked her hair while I stared into emptiness. Since the eve of yesterday when Ghost broke the news to me, I had been silent. My heart was heavy and my soul felt like it had left me but I wasn’t shocked. I didn’t cry. I was absolutely still. Deep inside of me, I knew that I hadn’t actually believed it yet. The whole thing hadn’t quite sank in yet. However what did sink in, was that Oscala knew. He left without a word to me. Ghost told me he was waiting for me. I knew he was. He always seemed to have an explanation, a way to fix everything he messed up. Right now I was really eager to know how he intended to fix this one. The car wheeled up a hill and brakes to a halt immediately. Theodore looked back, at me.“Alpha, this is the furthest I can get. The rest of the way is covered by thick bushes and tall trees. We will have to walk from here.
