NICOLETTE'S POV—My whole body completely turned stone, cold sweat dripping across my face while my lips were trembling.“He… saw us…” My voice stuttered, my eyeballs broadening as it locked at James.Just as I heard Kian's tongue click, he hooked an arm around my waist and leaped away from the trunk he was leaning against. In that exact second, James's sword pierced through the trunk.In the same instant, James retrieved his sFifty- SevenNICOLETTE'S POV –My eyes snapped open, and to my surprise I was somewhere strangely familiar. The feeling that I had been here before, yet for some reasons, it felt different— tall trees, dancing leaves, blooming flowers and soft, gentle chuckles.But as far as I am concerned, I knew I fell on the river, and…. Realization hit me like a voltage, my hands, as if it had their own minds, flew across my body.No wound? Not even a single drop of blood? My eyeballs almost came off, staring at my arms and clutching on my shirt. Cold water washed over my body, my skin was warm as if it had never been drowned in the river.What the fuck is happening? Am I really dead this time?“Kian!” My voice growled, repeating in the brightness of the sunrays.My gaze darted everywhere, not sure of what I was looking for. I couldn't find Kian, Laurent, James and Uncle, which I was pretty sure that they were here. James e
Fifty- SixNICOLETTE'S POV—My whole body completely turned stone, cold sweat dripping across my face while my lips were trembling.“He… saw us…” My voice stuttered, my eyeballs broadening as it locked at James.Just as I heard Kian's tongue click, he hooked an arm around my waist and leaped away from the trunk he was leaning against. In that exact second, James's sword pierced through the trunk.In the same instant, James retrieved his sword while Kian's foot dropped onto the ground. He immediately shoved me behind his back and blocked my entire fucking view.The pressure in the woods suddenly dropped low and heavy, as if trapping my breath in my throat. The next thing I realized was this haunting chills as if needles were pricking on my back.I peeked over Kian's shoulder, enough to see Uncle Arnold's eyes gleaming as it met mine. His eyeballs were completely consumed by black, jaw tightened as his fangs slip
Fifty- FiveNICOLETTE'S POV–“Somebody, help!” A woman was hysterically running without any sense of direction, hurling frantic cries in each corner she stumbled into.Her ragged breathing strained her chest when a black wolf appeared out of nowhere, claws glinting in the darkness as its massive weight lunged straight to her.Another piercing shriek from that woman before a numerous amount of blood splattered on the fur of the wolf. Her body shivered uncontrollably, her eyes broadened— and finally, not another gasp escaped from her.A shiver ran down my spine, freezing my entire operating system. But before my brain could process everything, a gunshot shattered the air. The dark wolf slammed on the ground, blood gushing from the wound like flowing water.“Holy shit.” My jaw hung open, the hairs along my arms stood on the edge while clutching on my chest. “What the…”My knees were trembling, almost losing my bal
Fifty- FourNICOLETTE'S POV– A sharp shriek pierced through the darkness, followed by a broken scream. My eyelids twitched until it opened, revealing a clouded night. As I moved my body up, every inch of my muscles were protesting. And somehow, this clouded place seemed familiar, including the thick mist hung in thin air.Are we in the same cave where we talk about dreams and fated mates? Except for the mist. However, I still had the feeling that I saw this mist before.Another scream splintered into a broken wail, shuddered the steady mist in the air. Next thing I noticed was Kian sitting next to me— whole body shivering, his sweat dripping, his face deeply buried within his hands, and his shoulders violently heaving.“Hey, are you okay?” I crawled up to him, only to realize that my whole body was soaking wet. A freezing wind washed over me, jerking my body and stiffening my fine hairs to its edge.Still, I reached fo
Fifty- ThreeJAMES'S POV –I was expecting, after hearing his rage that pierced through my eardrums from miles away, but not another dance with this stubborn brown wolf. To get here in a heartbeat, they were probably tracking Nicky’s movements.I sighed, planting my sword beside me, blade buried on the ground while leaning on the hilt, “anyone stronger than you, Laurent?”That arrogant smug again, flashing on Laurent’s face, “you don't even know how to catch a lightning, man.”A sharp scoff slipped out of my mouth, locking my eyes at him. “For someone who crawled his way to the river just to survive, pure arrogance.”His mouth curled into a slow, crooked smirk, his eyes sliding briefly past me before settling back on mine. “And oh, didn't you invite your army of puppies? It's a good warm up before the party starts."“Yeah, they volunteered to watch over her.” My gaze glanced at poorly unconscious Nicky before slidin
Fifty- TwoTHIRD PERSON'S POV—-“Your muscles are tensing,” Laurent’s casual voice cracked through the thickening echoes of Kian's heavy steps against the floor.Kian's next step nailed on the floorboards, a razor sharp gaze snapped to Laurent. His Adam's apple roughly bobbled as he slid his arms inside the sleeves of the hoodie— the cotton fabric brushed his biceps like sandpaper, and zip the hoodie mid-way, just enough to have a good view of his chest.Another uneven step echoed in the living room, his wrists solidifying like iron and his biceps bulging through the hoodie as he crossed them over his chest, while his eyes drew into a focused stare at his footsteps.Laurent remained leaning against the wall, hands sunk deep in his pockets, stone-faced and eyes following every movement Kian made.“It's already been an hour.” Kian's voice came out strained, his stare remained fixed downward.“An hour of watc
