ログインMarcus Kane (POV)In my thirty-five years of existing, I've never seen Andrew drive like a madman behind the wheels. He almost killed three people on our way home. I had to close my eyes all through the journey. Hoping I don't lose my life because of his own lover.I started reminiscing about all the good times I've had and the ones I should have done better before I die on this journey of love. Holding anything I could do to stabilize myself from flying out of the window."Andrew calm down, I promise we will find her. You aren't planning to make your mother lose us just because your mate is missing right? You have to consider me too man, how can we find her supposing we die before her," I kept on rambling nonsense, non-stop but Andrew in all his glory ignored me and increased the speed until we drove into the house.The wolves in the pack were staring at us as if we had lost it. I came down from the car and rushed to the tower to vomit. I was feeling dizzy and nauseous at the same ti
Elder Rowan (POV)I rushed down to the court immediately as the Alpha called me. I could sense the fear in his voice when he mentioned Lena. Clara was sitting beside me in the car, her two hands glued together in prayer. The atmosphere was tense, everyone anticipating for the best even though evil was lurking around.Losing a child I practically raised by myself after the death of my family isn't what I'm looking forward to unless I was the cursed one. Unless I was cursed not to have a family or one that looks like it.Holding Clara's hand in mine, "she will be fine, I promise. You know the kind of power she has, it is easier for her to imagine the worst part of the pack and dump the intruder there," I said, cracking a joke so as to loosen the tense atmosphere."That's true, the pack still can't get over the news of Luna turning the Alpha of the Southwest pack upside down in the air," Clara attested, smiling and I felt relieved at once.The driver parked in front of the house instead
Elena Torres (POV)Andrew's voice changed. It wasn't loud. It wasn't even sharp. It was quiet. Dangerously quiet"Say that again," he muttered into the phone, his back still turned to me. A pause. Then his shoulders went rigid. My heart started pounding for no reason, no, not for no reason. I had lived long enough around wolves to understand that tone, especially with Andrew. It means something urgent and terrible, or maybe it was all in my head. "I'm on my way," Andrew said finally before ending the call. He didn't move for a few seconds. Just stood there, like he was trying to decide something, or stop himself from doing something reckless. "Andrew?" I called anticipating what he had to say. "Marcus sent some men to the art academy, hoping to catch those men and he finds out they were rogues. Sent away before dad died," Andrew replied throwing a shirt over his shoulder at the same time wearing his shoes. "That means someone found them and assigned this job to them, the initi
Elena Torres (POV)Days later, I felt much better compared to when I was brought home. I could do a little bit here and there and Andrew always gets riled up anytime he sees me doing anything aside from resting in bed.Rubbing his hands which held me securely in his arms as if someone was going to snatch me away when he wasn't looking. That has become a habit I have picked subconsciously and it ended up drawing lines of worry on his face."What's the matter, are you good? You need water?" Andrew asked, his voice was deep as the night.I answered but nothing came out, clearing my throat, I said, "I'm very much okay, sorry for disturbing your sleep," I apologize, knowing how important his sleep was to him."What's bothering you, you don't just wake up in the middle of the night for no reason, rubbing me unless you are on another mission," he said, giving me that knowing smile after switching on the bed lamp."No, no, no, that's not it. Let's go back to bed," I protested, covering my bod
Marcus Kane (POV)For everything there is a price to pay, but how do you pay a price for something you know not. Apparently, you are paying for it, but still don't know what you are paying for. That defines my situation right now or maybe I was just the one overthinking it.But I'm not, I promise. I wasn't overthinking, the handwriting on the wall was just simple enough for me to read through. I parked in the garage of Clara's new working place, it was rowdy and lousy for a crochet company. Who knows what other businesses go on in there.What time does she close from work? I wondered, staring at my silver watch for the hundredth time. You can't trust local business owners, they can use a single stall for multiple businesses and still use the same staff for it. Overworking them while still paying them a meager salary.At exactly nine pm, Clara sauntered out of the shop, dusting whatever it was on her red short gown. She really has a knack for short dresses, doesn't she? I smirk, watchi
Elena Torres (POV)I sat on my bed as the pieces of yesterday's event flooded my memory. The darkness in the studio room infiltrates my mind, it all makes sense now. The strange man that pumped into me was wearing a black face mask so I couldn't picture what his face could be. It happened too fast before I could realize that he was taking me to a secluded place at the back of the academy. How I managed to get there myself with my twisted ankle I couldn't say. Or maybe it was because he kept on muttering some words of apology about how he would take my pain away in a few minutes. I searched across the room for the dress I was putting on but couldn't find it. That would reveal more about the state I was in when Andrew found me. It can't be that those men were only interested in stealing from me. "Why the deep frown, what are you thinking of?" Andrew asked, closing the door behind him with a smile on his face. I blinked, wondering what the smile was for or what was going on with him.
Elena's POVOne hour.The phrases reverberated in my mind while Andrew and I hurried to get dressed. The instant we nearly experienced, fading into haste and anxiety."How many?" Andrew asked sharply slipping his shirt over his head."At minimum two hundred." Marcus's expression was somber. "Each on
Andrew's PovI smiled."You were amazing." I pressed my face into her hair inhaling her scent. "Amazing and..." My voice faltered. "You rescued us.""We rescued one another." Her arms wrapped around my waist gripping firmly. "Isn't that what partners do?""Right." I leaned back enough to get a view
Elena's Pov She did more than endure. She accepted the darkness your mother shunned. Harnessed its strength for vengeance, than defense." His tone grew firmer. "Shes assembling an army, Elena. Wolves, hunters anyone desperate enough to serve an Ancient.. She wants you at the helm.""I would never.
Elena's POVMy father.The term reverberated in my mind while Andrew and I hurried down the hallways. Pack members dispersed as we went by feeling the stress emanating from their Alpha."It might be a trick," Andrew murmured, his grip firm, on my hand. "The very one who dispatched those ravens.
