FAZER LOGINDAPHNE'S POVMy phone vibrated beside me, and I quickly picked it up. A message from an unknown number.I drew my brows and tapped on it."Hi, Daphne, this is Thelma Zynn, from Willbed foundation." The message read.I abruptly sat up, trying to remember the name as I hadn't heard of it before. I remembered applying to volunteer in a foundation when I got back to Louisville, but Willbed wasn't part of it.I typed back: "How can I help you, Miss Thelma?"She typed back: "We received your application to join our foundation as a volunteer and you have been accepted. We have a job for you which needs to be done as soon as possible."I drew my brows, and typed back: "I never applied for willbed.""Oh. Then I apologize for the mistake."Willbed? I don't know. I haven't heard about the foundation.But, I have always wanted to keep myself busy. Maybe this is a sign. With my mind occupied, I wouldn't think about Zachary or the bond again."I will be up for it if you have any opportunity for me,
ELEANOR'S POVI was there in the theater. Just two seats away from Daphne and Zac, to see what happened. They had touched each other and Daphne left abruptly. I could see the irritation in her eyes.Zac looked like the world has ended, as he watched her leave. He was confused, hurt and in pain. He left afterwards and never returned.Just what I needed.My lips curled up as I watched them, which was way better than the movie that was on play. When Daphne ran out, I also followed.She ran to the restroom, trying to take deep breaths, repeating how she wanted Zac off but he keeps coming back.Perfect.It was almost done.I leaned against the door, with my ears fixed on it, listening to her trying to catch her breath. "Keep on Daphne. I need you to stay away from him until that bond turns to hatred, then, phase two would be over and phase three would start," I muttered.I left the door and walked out of the cinema. I have had enough show for the night.I walked to my car and picked up my
DAPHNE'S POVI stayed in the restroom for a long and when I got out, the movie had long started. I sat at the last seat, far away from Zac.When I took a peep, I noticed he was gone. Letting out a deep breath of relief, I fixed my eyes on the screen.Daisy mouthed, "Are you okay?"I nodded in response.It was relieving not seeing him around. I had no idea how I would respond if he was close by.The movie ended, and I quickly dragged Daisy out with me. Who knows, he might be waiting for an opportunity to speak to me again when I get out."We need to put things in order before we leave," Daisy asked, trying to catch her breath after our little run. "Where are you rushing off to?""I want us to be ready when the customers would come out," I answered, looking around.Daisy drew her brows, and looked around too. "You looked like you had seen a ghost," she muttered. "You have been behaving weirdly since you came here.""I am fine," I answered. "Just watching around for any attack."She drew
ZACHARY'S POV Her eyes said everything when she looked at me. It was empty. The way she tries to avoid me, the way she looks away, I needed no one to tell me anymore.Whatever she had once felt for me was gone.Right now, I wasn’t even worthy of being her friend.The way she pulled her hand as if she had touched something irritating, got me frozen. Had I really become something she couldn’t even bear to touch?She left hurriedly, and I knew she wasn't returning back unless I was gone.I swallowed the lumps in my throat painfully and looked at the large screen. I tried to concentrate, but I couldn't. My mind was occupied with the thought of her, moving away from me.I breathed deeply, trying to calm my racing heart, but the more I tried, the tighter my chest became, as if the air itself had turned against me.I stood up and walked out, ignoring Hilary who was whispering my name. Immediately I stepped out, I held the wall, trying to breath, and forcing my self to relax.My wolf surged
DAPHNE'S POVMy stomach churned as I stepped out of the cab and faced the cinema, dread coiling tighter with every breath. Dad had called me to help out, but it made me uncomfortable because Zachary would be there.Daisy told me she had invited Hillary over, and he said he would bring Zachary along since they had been waiting for months to see the new release.I let out a deep breath and went in. I told myself I didn’t feel anything for him anymore… yet my body still tensed whenever he was near.I met Daisy at the ticket box, and went in. "Good you are here," she said. "The movie is starting soon and as usual, I-""Save the best seat for us," I completed.She nodded proudly. "Yes," she squealed. “In fact, we’re seeing it from the absolute best spot.”"Aren't these the best seats meant for customers? Why does dad always give it to you?" I asked, standing akimbo."You two are my sweethearts," Dad said, walking to us. "And you deserve the best. If you wanted the whole theater to yourselv
DAPHNE’S POVIt was time for another grocery run.I slipped on my hoodie, grabbed my purse, and stepped out of the house. Daisy had something to do again, leaving me to shop alone. It was the third time this week.Lately, I was starting to think she did it on purpose.The moment I stepped outside, goosebumps crawled over my skin. The air felt heavier than it should have been. I paused, my instincts screaming even though the street was empty.There was no one on the street, yet the sensation clung to me, persistent and unsettling. Ever since the day at the cinema, three days ago, I had felt it. Eyes I couldn’t see. A presence I couldn’t place.I turned slowly, scanning the road.Nothing.I had asked Daisy about it once. She laughed it off, telling me I was imagining things. That stress could do strange things to the mind.That’s what she said. But the feeling didn’t leave.And the guards Zachary once stationed around me? Gone. Vanished without a trace. I hadn’t seen him either since th
