Nightsword: Love And Ashes

Remilia's POV.Where did you get that?”, he growled. His voice overlapped with a deeper, hoarser one. That of his wolf. I settled into my stance against him. “It doesn’t matter, Eryndor. Stop what you’re doing now.” “Give it to me. Now.”I wasn’t scared to use it and I knew he could see that, but he came at me anyway. I should’ve been able to defend more easily, should have been able to match him more easily. But the truth was that my desire for truth held no candle to the evil desperation of a power hungry man. He moved with practiced speed and grace, dodging each one of my attacks and still managing to get in hits despite my having the superior – and only – weapon. I knew it was over when as the blade sliced across his face, he leaned in, instead of backing away. In a flash, a stunning blow cracked against my skull, blackening my vision and sending me slumping. My fingers loosened against NightSword and it clattered away from me. Eryndor’s eyes were dilated, his canines dripping

Remilia's POV.I continued my statement despite the murmurs, I wasn't going to give in to his manipulation, although I knew there was a little I could do to change their minds. But I know one day, the truth will out.“Eryndor finalized things with the rogue and received payment in a form I don’t know about. When he was about to leave the scene, I confronted him and he attacked me after threats didn’t work. In defense of myself, I slashed at him with my knife and injured him. He called for the guards and got me arrested even though he was the one who attacked me first. This is my testimony, Council.”Immediately I was done, the room erupted in chaos. Shouts and yells as the Council members tried to talk over themselves and make their point known. As they argued, my eyes found Eryndor across the room and a slow smirk spread across his face. I forced my lips to mimic the motion even though it hurt. After what seemed like ages, Marcus’ hand shot out and grabbed a gavel that had gone unno

Chapter 6Remilia's POV.My heart pounded as I sprinted through the forest, my feet pounding against the damp earth. The moon cast shadows, brightening the path for my frantic escape, which I was immensely grateful for.I had to put as much distance between herself and Nightborne Pack's territory as possible.The memory of Eryndor's snarling face still haunted me. His eyes, once filled with warmth and admiration, now burned with hatred and ambition. How could I have been so foolish not to notice his annoying attitude? I always knew he was jealous but never imagined that he was going to take it this far. It wasn't my fault in any way that I was a genius. I had tried to numb my intelligence so that it didn't rub off wrongly on him, but guess who ended up with the shorter end of the stick? Me. I shuddered internally recalling the night he had taken control, ousting me as alpha. The pain was too much for me to handle but I guess I was foolish enough not to understand.I even went on to

8. Raul's POV. "Cat got your tongue now?" I asked with a playful smile that didn't capture the essence of what I was feeling. I was more than angry that this woman was able to elicit some weird emotions going on inside of me which I couldn't even begin to understand. It was strange that I would feel so safe around a stranger when I had many reasons not to. I could feel my wolf howling at the back of my head with various reasons yet coming to no conclusion. She was fierce. I could see that in her, even though she was trying to hide by bunching her shoulders and assuming a fetal position. "I'm sorry for budging in I will just leave now." She refused to look at me. Her eyes were the warmest that I had ever seen. It had a way of piercing through my impermeable front, giving me an assurance that she was quite different from the rest even though I didn't even know what I was talking about. It had become one of those things that I got used to, especially from women's admiration "Sto
