로그인Elder 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.
Selene Blackthorn (POV)The sound of my ringtone tore through the grave silence that had settled over the four walls of my room. The table vibrated as the phone rang, eyeing it with the corner of my green eyes. Looks like the call I have been anticipating for has finally come through.Looking down at my big stomach, I groaned softly as I stood up, rested for a bit before I moved towards the direction of the phone which was at the top of the fridge. I smirked as I saw the caller ID, how long she was trying to wait before she decided to call me. I raised my brow in question as my thumb danced over the green button."Hello, can you hear me?" I asked with no exchange of pleasantries."Report," that was her response, so cold as the face I was used to growing up. Nothing I do measures up to her satisfaction or to make her hard face break into the tiniest of smiles.I wonder how my father could survive each day sleeping and waking up beside a woman that offers no warmth."She's awake," I res
Elena's Pov "I should be going," I said, tottering on unsteady legs. "It's late.""Think about what I said."Luna Margaret's voice trailed me to the door. "For your own sake. And perhaps for Andrew's too. Because if you stay and he does bind your power, if you become his weapon, you'll both lose so
Elena's POV"What are you doing up?"The voice of Luna Margaret sliced through the silence effortlessly. She was standing there holding the book in her hands and a smile dancing at the corners of her mouth. The same book that Andrew had wrested from my hands."I could ask you the same thing," I mana
Elena's POVDawn rays streamed into my room. I remained awake. The note rested on my bedside table, Andrews scrawled words teasing me each time I looked.*If only I could locate one, capture one, the group would turn invincible.*He had been preparing for three years. Three years prior, to our enco
