Enya pov
Even with Allison gone, Vincent still pretends we are together. He's way too touchy, and the constant attempts to get closer to me are getting on my nerves. The funniest part of the situation is that Vincent didn't bother to tell me that his annoying step-sister left; Aros was the one who broke the news. And ever since I found out, which is about three hours ago, I have been sitting in his bedroom waiting for the Alpha Asshole to return from what he calls a patrol.
I sigh and clench my hands into fists. I don't understand why he didn't bother to inform me of such an important matter. All in all, I did what I did because he promised me I could leave. Besides, my eyesight is slowly getting better, and now I can leave this place for good. I don't want to get attached to the shifters and return home as damaged goods. My father needs a warrior to lead his legion, n
Dirk povSince the disappearance of my daughter, I picked up a new habit. I never liked going for walks, especially when I had no destination in mind. Meaningless walks didn't seem like something that could benefit me in any way. But now I feel like the slow walks through the woods help me get my mind back in the game. I don't understand how I can be a leader and a father at the same time. All these years, I have seen no problem balancing my duties because my daughter believes in the same values as I do. Today, I can't decide which is more important. Enya is my child, and in a way, so is the Alliance.I want to be alone, to sit down and think. That's not much to ask, but even in a position as high as mine, not all wishes come true. A warrior follows me everywhere. Some members of the Alliance not only believe I am setting a trap for them to
Vincent pov I deserved that, but the blow was unexpected. Enya is a tiny hellfire; I'll give her that much. But that does not bother me. Her constant need to fight and run only draws me closer to her. She's a challenge, through and through, and honestly, I'm up for a challenge like her. After all, there's nothing I enjoy more than a good chase. I know she took her chance and ran. I'd like to see how far she gets, considering she's still healing, and her eyesight isn't the best either. However, before I can come back to my senses and run after her, Aros stomps into my bedroom, and before I understand what he wants, his fist collides with my jaw. Alright, maybe I deserved that too. He stands in front of me, hands clenched in fists, breathing ragged. "What the
Enya pov "I'm the one you don’t want to fuck with." I hear his voice before I notice Vincent hovering over my father. I may forget names or faces, but voices always stay in my memory, especially ones as deep and powerful as Vincent's. Every bit of logical thinking I have just flies out the window as I charge right at Vincent. It doesn't matter if I get hurt if one of the wolves gets hurt, but my father is untouchable. I'd rather die than let anyone harm him. I take advantage of the moment he's too focused on my father and run to them. When I'm close enough, I drop to the ground and slide past the unconscious hunter's body. I grab the knife from his belt. At least I didn't forget where we keep our weapons. The moment my body stops sliding across the ground, I end up nearly in-between Vincent's legs. I grip the knife and lift it up, aimin
Aros pov I can't believe Vince did this. Of all the wolves I know, he's the one who always does his best to set an example for everyone. Now he's slowly turning into someone he hates. Right now, I have no idea who is telling me the truth. On one side, I have my best friend, my Alpha, and he tells me he did nothing wrong. On the other hand, I have my human best friend, who I should hate from the bottom of my heart. But I can't. Enya has proven that she is a compassionate and fantastic person- everything about her screams good. She claims that Vincent tried to rape her, and while I want to believe him, I'm not sure of his words anymore as Enya stabbed him. She wouldn't do that; I know she wouldn't if she didn't think it was necessary. Or maybe he scared her. Back in the woods, I could see in her eyes how much she wanted to protect her father. Unfortunately, she
Enya povI stare at Aros and carefully push the plate aside. I close my eyes and lean my head against the wall. Maybe I should try acting like an actual human being and stop being so difficult? After all, Aros didn't do anything to hurt me. He probably didn't know about the basil anyway. "I understand that everyone in these cells gets a piece of bread and some water at best. But I'd rather starve than enjoy the reaction of my allergy. It wouldn't be half as painful to die if I chose starvation," I explain. His expression changes from horror to concern and anger. I'm not sure what he's feeling or thinking, but I don't believe any of those emotions could be good. "Look," I sigh. "It's not your fault, okay? I'm assuming you didn't know. But if you did know and you are still bringing me this food, I'll eat it. It's not like I see the end of this whole mess. Maybe it's better to end it before the situatio
Vincent povWe took Enya to the pack hospital. Again.I don't understand why this keeps happening. We know she's in great shape, and someone who fights as she does can't just collapse like this. Back in the cells, I wanted to check something, but since she refused to eat, I'm pretty sure I got my answers. However, when I caught the smell of blood, I knew something was wrong. I pushed Aros aside and ran to her. The cough didn't sound good, and I knew it was more than just a cold. By the time we got her to the doctors, she had managed to vomit blood all over me, even though Enya was unconscious.Now we are sitting in the hallway waiting for the doctors to tell us what's wrong with her.Aros won't stop pacing like a concerned parent while I focus on
Vincent pov"Give me a moment," I smile at the nurse and dismiss her. As she enters the room, I turn back to Aros. "Go to your room and get some sleep; it might help you calm down. Once I finish everything here, I'll be waiting for you in my office. And before you say anything- I will mind-link you if anything happens to Enya. I respect your wishes as much as you respect my decision." The smile that spreads across his lips is enough for me to know that Aros agrees and will probably get some sleep.Aside from the hunter in the packhouse, it's pretty quiet around here. I'm ahead of schedule with paperwork as usual, and the pack members are doing well. The daily patrols come and go on time, and to everyone's surprise, we haven't had any problems with the rogues since the incident during the supposed fight between Enya and Allison.
Vincent povOne of the doctors speaks up in a voice so excited I want to hurt her. "That's exactly the point, Alpha; we have no idea." She sounds way too happy to be someone who wants to live any longer. Does she have a death wish or something? This is not an exciting matter to discuss. Just a few minutes ago, I wanted to force Enya into the cells, and now all I can think about is how to protect her. I almost lose myself in thought, but the same cheerful voice brings me back to reality. "But since we suspect something was wrong when you brought her in last time, we ran more blood tests today. There were a few deviations from normal last time, but we didn't see as much wolfsbane or any at all. As you can see, this is not only highly suspicious but dangerous. To us." She explains. One of her statements catches my attention, and I finally take my eyes off the numbers to look at the doctor.
