LOGINElena Torres (POV) I woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty, my throat was dry and sore. The room was pitched black and Andrew's side of the bed was cold as ice. I could remember us going to bed together.I furrowed my brow as I groped through the room, running my hands over the door, I lowered it and found the handle. Relief coursed through me as I pushed the door open, a gust of fresh air slapped me in the face. Walking down the hall to the kitchen to get water.Hushed tones were heard, and my frown deepened wondering what could be going on. The big Italian clock says past three in the morning. It's too early for morning chores, supposing that is what this was about.I quickened my pace, feeling dehydrated more than I was before. I ignored the maids standing by to quench my thirst first. I took a long swig from the neck of the bottle. The cold water coursing through my throat below. I dropped the bottle on the table and moved to the fruit section.Madam Cece, the one in
Andrew Kane (POV)Mother was about to speak when she was interrupted by a loud deafening scream. We were all taken aback, staring at each other's faces with unasked questions.Our gaze drifted upstairs, where the scream came from. I shrugged, resuming our conversation. The scream interrupted again, this time it was louder than the first.Mother and I exchanged a knowing look before I bolted towards the stairs. The scream sounded like Selene's voice, I was already at her door in a fraction of second.Selene was lying on the floor with her legs spread apart and she was panting as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.LFeeling lost at what to do, I rushed to her side. Holding her hand, she held me tightly, sobbing silently."Are you okay, what's wrong? Do you need to sit on the bed? Talk to me, what's going on?" I asked in a fit of worry, staring at her pale face."We need to get her to the hospital immediately Andrew, quit asking her questions and start moving," Uncle said, standing a
Andrew Kane (POV)It was light out already and Lena just stumbled into a peaceful slumber, her chest rising and falling gently beside me.There was a knock at the door, my eyes rested on it wondering who it could be. Disentangling myself from Lena quietly so I wouldn't wake her, I walked to the door. What could be so important that it couldn't wait till tomorrow.I opened the door, it was a maid servant about to knock again when I flung the door open. She trembled backward, staring at the ground."What do you seek at this ungodly hour?" I asked, irritation clinging to the edge of my voice."I'm sorry to interrupt your sleep alpha, your mother sent for you," she relayed the message, her voice shaking."Why? Tell her that whatever she has to discuss can wait till tomorrow," I said, dismissing her but she refuses to move."She said your uncle is back and you should come greet him," closing my eyes in sheer distress, is she trying to trick me now just because she wants to talk to me.She
Marcus Kane (POV)I was taken aback by Clara's painful cry, I know she cries so easily but would she also cry over this. How are we supposed to have a normal conversation about her without it ending in tears?It was obviously my fault for making her upset but then I was the one bitten not her. She inflicted the pain, at this point maybe we should just cry together because what the hell am I supposed to do now.I was relieved that the area wasn't heavily crowded because of the judgemental glares that would have been thrown my way. I wasn't going to let her leave like the last time without resolving our issues. It does my mental health no good.Starting a fight I knew wouldn't end well was obviously one of my fortes. Why would I even pick a fight with her when it was me that has been ignoring her all this while. This is the second fight we are having in two weeks now.I pulled her into my arms, cradling her against my chest. I'm such a jerk that deserves no love. I can't even get the on
Clara Torres (POV)I followed him quietly from behind as he walked into the street, his broad shoulders rose and fell back in anger. Going back to the counter would do no good, Clement wouldn't let me for sure, knowing the kind of power Marcus has over him.I sigh in sheer frustration, watching the busy street as we walk by. Marcus was already seated on the bench at the end of it when I met him."What do you want?" I asked, my voice devoid of any emotion whatsoever because I'm tired of playing this game with him."What do I want? Seriously? That's all you have to say for what happened there? Are you for real?" Marcus asked, looking up at me, his eyes glinting with that usual warning of "don't push me" whenever he is angry."Yeah, because I'm confused. You just showed up out of nowhere and started fighting everyone for no reason. So make me understand the motivation behind your actions. It could have cost me my job if Clement wasn't a nice person," I said, throwing my hands in the air
Marcus Kane (POV )The drive to Clement's Bar as inscribed on the plastic billboard was less than twenty minutes and as expected it was crowded. I parked in the only open space I saw, alighted from the car. I took a deep breath before walking towards the faded glass door which appeared fragile, like it would crash down any moment with a sudden push.I marched towards the crochet section ignoring the other door which I was hoping she wouldn't be inside serving those drunkards. "Hey, how's your day going? Please have you seen Clara around?" I asked the brunette I met at the front desk, absorbed in what looked like a singlet she was knitting. She immediately raised her head to look at me with a beautiful smile on her face. And I saw her name on the tag attached to her chest "Katie""Oh yeah, she was here until late evening before she was transferred to the bar section. You know, Clement said she has what it takes to handle the customers well. They wouldn't stop asking of her, left with
Elena's POVThe raven took off before I had a chance to grasp what had just occurred. Andrew’s voice. Emitted by a bird."That's impossible," Clara whispered next to me.Whether feasible or not, it indicated he was observing. In some manner he was aware of the letter.I balled up the paper. Stuffed
Elena's POVEnergy burst forth from within me.Not controlled. Not calculated. Just raw, desperate need to protect him.The sword paused in mid-motion. The woman gripping it halted her crimson eyes growing wide with astonishment. Surrounding us, the wolves sank onto their knees, heads lowered, compe
Elena's Pov He remained motionless muscles tense and wound up jaw moving as if he were crushing bones with his teeth."Say it to them." Selene urged, her tone gentle and understanding. "Say it's genuine. That you love her for her self not for what she offers you. Say…" her eyes met mine "...say she
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
