เข้าสู่ระบบMalisha does not stop walking until she is far enough from Grayson and Sage. She does not stop walking until she is far enough from the weight of their voices, their expectations, and their arguments. But no matter how far she goes, she finds it hard to walk away from herself. The hallway is quiet, and her footsteps echo against the walls in a way that makes everything feel louder than it should have. Her mind is not quiet. It is anything but that. It is loud and restless. And it does not help matters that her wolf is also the same deep in thought. She exhales slowly ready to push the thoughts at the back of her mind. She reaches for the door of the room, and pushes it open without knocking. Inside, Iris, Kimora and Mirabel are exactly where she had expected them to be. Waiting. They all look up at the same time. When their eyes land on her, they can see how much their friend needs them. Before any one of them can speak, she immediately says, "I am fine." There is silence until
They are all in the same room still deep in thought. "So, what is the plan then?" Kimora asks unable to the silence with no answers. All eyes turn to Sage as he is more knowledgeable in this. He did have more answers than the rest."There are two options," he says after hesitating briefly. "Let's hear it," Mirabel says folding her arms. "One, we can strengthen her defenses." Beatrix hums which makes every one remember she is still present. "That is necesaary regardless.""Or, we can interfere with the connection." Grayson frowns at that. "How?" Sage's expression darkens slightly. "A countermeasure?" Malisha raises an eyebrow at that. "That sounds vague." "It is," Sage admits. "Only because of how risky it is." Grayson rubs his forehead. "Of course it is." "How risky?" Malisha asks looking at Sage. "It can worsen the connection instead of breaking it or..." "or what?" Grayson and Kimora ask at the same time already losing their patience. "Let's just or there might be a hi
No one speaks immediately because now, neither of them can pretend every thing is fine. There is no minimizing. No way for them to say it was nothing because it is in fact the opposite. It is something, and whatever it is keep on getting worse.Malisha is on the edge of the bed, with her fingers gripping the shets tightly. Her breathing has steadied after what had happened. If only she could say the same for her mind. Her mind was every where and it seems as though she is loosing herself. "It is louder," She says again, quieter this time. She say it softly as if it would look less real. It does not. Grayson stands in front of her in a way that would have made her uncomfortable seeing as he is extremely close to her. He watches her as if with the smallest blink, she might disappear.Sage stands a few steps away with his arms crossed and he is deep in thought. Iris, Kimora, and Mirabel stay near the door watching everything unfold silently. Because what ever is happening in front of th
Malisha and her friends are still in the room. After the call that drew her, she is still still asleep that is until she stirs slightly. Her fingers twitch, and her breathing is uneven again. Mirabel is the first to notice this. "She is moving." Iris leans closer, calls her friend. "Mal?" But Malisha's eyes remain closed with her lips parted slightly. She then whispers softly, in a barely audible voice. "I am coming now." Kimora's heart drops, and she says, "No, you are not." Mirabel grabs Malisha's arm tight, and she says, "This is not fucking normal." Iris shakes her head. "We might need to call someone." Outside, Grayson and Sage are still standing and thinking in silence when Grayson freezes mid thought. Something is wrong with Malisha. He turns his head toward the room, and he can feel it. He can feel that something is trying to pull her, and it is stronger and sharper than before. Sage notices the change in demeanor, and he asks, "What is wrong?" "Something," Grayson s
Malisha is finally asleep, but not peacefully or deeply. Just out of exhaustion. It is the kind that drags her under whether she wants it or not. She lays on her bed now, her breathing is uneven but steady enough to pass as rest. Kimora, Iris and Mirabel refuse to leave her side. They were all terrified about what happened which made them stick to Malisha’s side. They stay close watching her. They feel as though if they look away from her even for a second that something might take her. Outside the room, Grayson is on the balcony seething in anger. His hands grip the railing tightly. His jaw clenches, and his mind keeps on racing to what happened. “She heard it,” Grayson mutters. It is not a guess. The way she looked showed she did. The switch was exactly what took him by surprise. “She responded to it.” “And that means it’s getting stronger.” Grayson does not have to turn because he knows exactly who it is. Sage steps beside him appearing calm, but he is evidentl
Everyone is in the huge room of the lodge. Mirabel had used a spell to fix what was broken by the shadow. For the first time since their arrival, things feel normal. At least, almost normal. Malisha is on the floor, her back resting on the couch, while Kimora deals with the cards like she works in a casino. "This time, nobody cheats," Kimora firmly says. Kimora looks at Mirabel pointedly which makes her scoff lightly. "I in fact do not cheat." "Yeah, she does not," Iris says. "She strategically manipulates the outcomes." "Exactly what I am saying," Mirabel grumbles. rMalisha lets out a small laugh, and she can't help feeing strange when laughing. After everything that had happened, it is exactly what she needs. "Okay," Kimora says, pointing at Malisha. "you are going down first."Malisha rolls her eyes. "Bold of you assume." "Oh, I do not assume," Kimora replies with a smirk on her face. "Confidence looks good on you, but are you aware that pride comes before a fall?" Malisha
There is a scheduled meeting between the lycans and The Treasure Coast Pack. Seeing as the savages were on a rampage, they had scheduled a meeting. Grayson and Malisha had not seen a few days which made Malisha slightly relieved. The council meeting had already started. Malisha sat beside her brot
Sage takes Malisha to a fancy restaurant, and she feels like she is on a date, but she shakes the feeling off even though her wolf does not her be. Not our mate, she keeps on reminding Malisha as if she needed more reminders on that. He pulls a chair for her, and when she is seated, she says,
Malisha agreed to train with Sage. Not just because of his talent, but to put space between she and Grayson. Lines were being blurred, and she could not have that. There was no way she was going to allow him to get to her. Her heart was softening towards him, and it annoyed her more than she woul
Grayson did not remember standing up, but he was anyway. The council chamber was emptying. There was murmuring in low voices on what should be done as everyone filed out. His wolf on the hand was pacing inside him like a caged beast. Mate. We can't lose our mate.Grayson knew that, but the pacing
