LOGINNyxI heard the voices again. I had stopped trying to understand what they were saying. But this time, the muffled voices slowly broke through the darkness.“Still nothing,” a younger voice said. “It’s been days. What if she never comes out of it?”“Maybe that would be better. At least Vrosk wouldn’t be able to get to her.” This voice sounded older.“But the Vrosk didn’t do this to her. One of her kind did,” the younger voice said.“And what is her kind?” I could feel the question hanging in the air between them.The thick scent of herbs drifted over me, mixed with smoke and something else I couldn’t name.Again, I tried to open my eyes, to move from the flat, unyielding surface pressing into my shoulder blades and the backs of my legs. I could feel a hand pressed against my chest each time I dragged out of the darkness. But I couldn’t move, speak, or open my eyes.“We have done everything we can for her. It’s up to her to wake up.” I wanted to reply. To say that I was trying to.Anot
Third person POVFor a moment, the only sound in the hospital room was the steady beeping of the bedside monitor. Kyrell ignored Calix’s outburst and faced the pack doctor.“What is wrong with her?” Kyrell asked.The doctor straightened. “We’ve conducted several tests, but so far, we haven’t been able to identify what’s causing her condition. Her wolf seems to be unresponsive as well. I’m afraid we don’t have a diagnosis yet. I assure you we’re doing everything we can to save her, Alpha.”Kyrell furrowed his brow and nodded in response. The doctor left the room, and the nurses fell into step behind him.Calix’s voice cut through the silence. “You’re really going to stand there and act like you don’t know who’s responsible for her condition?” Calix’s jaw hardened as he glared at the man across from him.Kyrell ignored him and proceeded to type something into his phone.“Don’t you care about her at all? Your Luna is currently fighting for her life, and you’re not doing anything about it
Third person POV After Kyrell got off the phone, he went to his bedroom to take a shower. While getting dressed, he kept trying to reach Nyx by calling and mind-linking her, but there was no response. He concentrated on the bond, hoping for the faintest tug, but all he felt was a void.When he was done getting dressed, he got a call from Samiel. He wasn't surprised Samiel had gotten there in no distant time. Kyrell brushed every negative thought aside as his beta spoke at the other end.“Alpha, we've searched everywhere. There's no sign of her. Our hunters tracked her scent to the woods and found nothing but traces of blood and a burnt bush,” Samiel said over the phone.Kyrell had hoped, for his sanity, that Cullen was bluffing. The possibility of Cullen's words being true made Kyrell want to kill him all over again. “Keep searching until you find her. And don't report to me if you haven't.” Kyrell ended the call, jaw clenched.Nyx was still upset with him for leaving her, so she had
Third person POVKyrell got to the Quicksilver pack by midnight. His beta was already waiting for him in front of the packhouse, two guards standing behind him. The car barely came to a stop before Kyrell got down.“How did this happen?” Kyrell kept his voice even, but Samiel couldn't help taking a step back.“It's the Luna, Alpha. She said you told her to wait for you in your villa.” Samiel's grip on the tablet tightened. “I knew nothing of her plan to get to the underground prison.” Samiel knew that wasn't an excuse.He was supposed to keep an eye on Cullen while Kyrell was away, and he did. What he never expected was for Vesper to cut her stay in the Nightclaw pack short and demand the keys to the villa the moment she got back, or for her to free Cullen from the prison.“You know no one is allowed to go to my villa, Samiel.” Kyrell clenched his fist and approached his beta in slow steps. “Yet you gave Vesper the keys the moment she demanded them. You didn't think it wise to inform
NyxA splash of cold water struck my face. I jerked awake, choking as droplets ran down my cheeks and into my mouth. My eyelids fluttered open, but everything was a blur.“I wonder how she's still alive.” That was a male voice. My eyes burned as I tried to adjust to the brightness.“Well, she won't be for long,” a female voice replied. Vesper was standing in front of me; Mira stood beside her, holding an empty bottle of water, while Calix leaned, arms crossed, on a car.I scanned my surroundings, but all I could see beyond the people before me were trees and patches of grass and a cliff up ahead. I was sitting on the soil, my back resting against a tree trunk. Although I wasn't tied up, my entire body felt like dead weights when I tried to move.“I must admit, I wasn't expecting you to last this long, Nyx.” Vesper approached me in slow steps. “That pup of yours isn't as weak as I thought. It's a good thing we didn't take any chances.”Could it be that they had all planned this? Lure K
NyxI tried to keep my eyelids open and ask for an explanation, but I couldn't. Kyrell wrapped his arms around me, speaking softly into my ears until I the darkness engulfed me. This time, I welcomed it.I felt something warm against my thighs and shifted on the bed, slowly opening my eyes. My gaze fell on the bowl of water on the bedside table before moving to Kyrell, who sat beside me with a hand towel. He dipped it into the water and gently wiped my thighs."What are you doing?" I sat upright and gave him a puzzled look.Kyrell glanced at me, his eyes reflecting the sun. "It'll help with the tension." He kept the hand towel on the table and stood up."What do you mean?" There wasn't a hint of soreness in my muscles. If anything, I felt stronger."I thought I was a bit rough with you last night," he replied.My gaze immediately dropped to his bare chest, as he was wearing just his sweatpants. The events of last night suddenly slammed into me; only then did I realize I was completely
Nyx I thought I was running but I wasn't. My head was bleeding but I felt the pain in my feet. I found my way to the woods at the back of the school, half falling and walking. The trees shielded me from prying eyes.My mind drifted back to the gold pair of eyes I saw earlier. Or was I imagining th
Nyx PovA cold breeze splashed against my face, combing my hair in different directions as I ran as fast as my legs allowed. The beast chasing me wasn't moving like a normal wolf, more like a man in beastly form.Its hinds thumped heavily on the ground. I could feel the vibration beneath my feet. O
Kyrell Third person povKyrell stood in front of the full length mirror in his walk-in closet buttoning up his shirt. The closet was probably the size of a standard bedroom yet the feeling of suffocation had not left him. He picked up his suit jacket, sweeping his arms into it as he walked out to
NyxIt's been two days since I got slammed against the wall, but the students won't stop laughing and whispering as I walk to my locker. It doesn't matter if I'm the Beta's daughter or human. Teenagers can be assholes, especially werewolves who believe strength is everything."Hey girl." Mira waves
