MasukEros lets out a tired sigh, “I know. But from everything going on, why choose now to leave?”“Do you think they know we know?” Celeste shakes her head “Most likely not. She probably still believes she has an advantage over us” “Good enough. At least for now, but we do need to go back, I doubt they can hold him back for long.” Eros suggested.“I’ll inform lily of our departure, she needs to get ready as well. When do we leave?” I asked “As soon as possible. I don't think I want to be here for even a second longer,” Eros grumbled.“Sounds fair. The feeling is mutual Alpha” I clapped my hands, “Then it's agreed, we leave by morning.” “Alright, I'll be returning to my room now Luna”“Have a nice rest Cels” with that the door jammed shut. I turned to meet a worried gaze, “isn't morning a bit too fast? You still need to inform your sister” I closed the gap between us, “Ava will do that. I believe we've had enough of this pack. It's time to move forward.” “You're right darling, I jus
Aella's Pov“Contacted him yet?” I wondered, watching ants in the far distance, source and hunt for food. Their unity is quite impressive.“Eden says to meet them back at our suite” Ava answers.“Alright” I pushed off from the pole I was resting on, “heading back already?” I turned to the source of the voice to see my attending doctor.“Yes” I simply nodded.“Okay. Take care of yourself Luna, I'll handle the discharge process” “Okay.” I agreed and left, not interested in any small talk.“Wait..” I paused and turned, “Anything else doctor?” His face paled, like he saw a ghost, “Nothing, just take” he handed me a bag, “vitamins for strength, it'll help your wolf, especially considering all you've been through.” Weird, “Thank you” I smiled warmly before finally leaving. Entering the room, I spotted Celeste sitting by a corner seemingly lost in thought, “I've missed you so much” Eros pulled me into his embrace, he pulled away almost instantly, a scowl on his face.“You reek of that
Eros Pov“Where's she?” My excitement dampened seeing Celeste enter with no sign on Aella in sight. “You said she's awake” I stood from where I sat “Yeah she is. Just not available now” Celeste shrugged, “where's Kay?” “Just not available now” I replied sarcastically.She chuckled, “I meant, she's with her sister Alpha, calm your horses” Sigh. “Kay will be returning to the pack ahead of us. He needs to be there as my beta” I replied.“Oh” her face fell“He wanted to inform you, but there was no time. It was urgent that he left immediately” I offered a little consolation. “Ohkay” she muttered. “What are you upto?” “Nothing, just thinking about the recent events. Somehow the feeling from being at the Beta's house still feels kinda off” “You haven't been there in a while” she pointed out“Exactly why it's weird, I still can't help but remember the oddness of everything back then. It keeps pressing down on my chest” I sighed.“We could go check out the house, Luna will probably find
“E—You” the words were distasteful in my mouth, immediately I realized who it was. To think my wonderful ex mate thought it wise to visit.“Cruz” Lilith’s eyes lit up, a warm smile spread across her face. Her face radiating brightly, I sighed, to think it was all for this jerk.“Hey” he greeted, “how are you doing?” he asks, eyes fixed on me.“I'm fine” Lilith answers, seemingly oblivious. I rolled my eyes, once a bastard always a bastard, “what are you doing here?” I asked flatly.He looked a bit taken aback, clearly not expecting me to be so straightforward, but he had it coming.“Uhm, came to check up on Lily” he said awkwardly, I sneered, “yeah, right.” Like I'd believe he didn't have ulterior motive for being here. Lilith’s cheeks reddened, “you didn't have to” her voice lowered. He approached us, I shuddered at his gaze threatening to bore holes into my skin. “Bastard” I cursed, rolling my eyes. He definitely doesn't deserve Lilith.A hand tugged at the helm of my dress, “d
Aella's Pov I crouched next to her, then pulled her to my arms, “it'll be alright” I comforted, holding her now trembling figure against my chestShe let out a heart wrenching sob followed by loud cries, I silently patted, holding her tightly.She was also closer to Beta Andrew, so I understood why she'd take it even harder than anyone else. I won't be surprised if she was actually the only one that cared about him.“How” she croaked out, “he was fine….he was …I was going to save him….” She stuttered out. I smacked my lips, “Andrea” the words tasted distasteful in my lips. Her fists clenched, hurt swirled in her eyes, “he loved her” She spat, “he loved that venomous bitch” her eyes blazed with anger.“Apparently not” I muttered to myself“What?” She looked at me in confusion.“Dang, forget you ever heard that” I smiled sheepishly. She gave me a pointed look, her puffy eyes peering into mine questioningly. “Fine, he risked his life for you.” My voice lowered, my mood souring at the
I froze in my tracks, “her..?” I turned Her eyes were on me now, still distant and hollow, but this time I knew she could see me. “Lacinda” she smiled, “her memories, felt her pain, her sorrows, saw Lucas, their happiness all of it, the feeling of being wrenched cruelly from your very being” “Lily..” I approached her. “I'm so sorry you had to find out like this” “It's not your fault” she shook her head, “fate called and when I failed to answer it took its response by force” she said like someone who had resigned to her fate.“You'll be fine” I consoled.Her pupils turned white “The Oracle will survive this ordeal, but can the flame must not die out” her voice suddenly thickened, the air in the room became heavier.“What? You're not making sense” “The Oracle and Flame must fight as one, the battlefield closer than you think. Destroy it before it destroys you” her eyes reverted back to normal instantly “What did you mean by that?”“By what?” She asked, “What you just said”“I di
