Kimberly P. O. V
I entered my car and adjusted everything in place. When I look at the interior rear view mirror, my eyes on the heart shaped pendant on my neck. '16th Feb 1997' was engraved on the locket.I opened the locket inside it and there was a picture of mom first holding me after birth. She looked so youngwith a bright smile on her face.She gave me this necklace when I was just a baby. For her I was the center of her universe. I was the apple of my parents eye or so I thought. Sure my father was not with them when they killed my mother but he joined them after and he also helped them to kill my wolf. He left when I was fighting for my life in the hospital as if I did not matter to him. He betrayed my trust and I will never forgive him for that.They called werewolves ruthless killers but the only ones I can see are hunters. After the way they killed my mother it was clear that they do not have humanity. They will not think twice to kill werewolves . Whether the whole family depends on that wolf or the wolf is a pup. To them they are their prey.Soon hunting season is going to start. Hunters are going to Florida as a large amount of werewolf population stays there. I may not be a part of hunters but I keep a tab on them. I secretly went there for the last two years to save the creatures.My phone beeped, filling me out of my thoughts. O shoot I am late. I started the car, quickly reversed it and drove out of my driveway at full speed. About fifteen minutes later l reached the cafe. I quickly came out of the car and locked it. I opened the door of the cafe and the bell rang . I entered the cafe, saw Anna in a booth at the far corner of the shop.The shop is very welcoming and homely. The walls of the shop are warm light pink with pictures of tea cups and plates, pastries and cakes. Chairs are white in colour with beautiful designs engraved on them. The tables are covered with white cover, sugar packets, small beautiful vases and spoon sets are kept on each table. There is a cash counter on the left side with a fortune cookie jar and menus. Behind the cash counter Lizzy was standing ,attending to some clients. Lizzy is Mrs McGuire's granddaughter.Mrs McGuire is the shop owner. Mrs McGuire is a wild and kind hearted lady . This shop was her late husband's gift to her. She cherished this place dearly. Her husband died three years ago in a heart attack. It broke her but it never stopped her wildness, fiers and bold attitude. At the age of sixty she is more energetic than I ever have been in my entire twenty five years. If one part of me is like her then I can drag through my whole day's work without sweating like a pig and walk like a blood thirsty vampire who has been starving for days.Lizzy waved hand at me with a full blown smile, I gave one of my happy smiles and waved in return. I turned and went to Anna's boot. If a Lucifer's Demons with a trident in hand is standing in front of me then that will be Anna Mary who is ready to turn me Bloody Mary any minute.I smiled at her innocently "Hi Anna"." HI ANNA? Bitch I have been waiting for you at least for one hour and you are coming now?"."Hey I will buy you your favourite Cappuccino to make it up to you "." You better be"she said with narrowed eyes and pointing a finger at me.I gave her a mocking sullender and sat in the booth."So how have you been? " I asked her while keeping my bag beside me.Before she could say anything, a new waitress came to our table, she was in her early twenties,and took our orders. When she went away Anna's face turned firm, her lips pressed into thin line."What happened honey? ".Anna puffed out a breath from her mouth and said " I broke up with my boyfriend "." Wait what, you broke up with your boyfriend? The one you were telling me about last month that he is your soulmate and you want to spend your life with him. Why ,what happened? you both dated over a year "."Turns out he is a lying and cheating bastard"." What did Cole do? "." Last week I went to meet a client in a restaurant. When I was at the end of the meeting I saw Cole enter the same restaurant with a woman and a one or two year old child . He had his arm around the woman's waist and he was holding the child's hand. First I did not believe in my eyes how he could have cheated on me and he has a wife and child. So quickly ended my meeting and focused on Cole and the woman and he was really Cole".Anna breaks into a cry. I did not say anything and let it out when she composed herself she continued " The woman was indeed his wife and the child had uncanny resemblance to Cole and he called Cole dad. When I went there and asked Cole what is this he turned pale and then acted as if he did not know who I am. His wife asked me who I was .Before Cole could stop any of it I said I was his girlfriend for about one and a half year". She cleaned her eyes with a napkin ."The woman did not believe me so I showed her my and Cole's intimate pictures. The woman went ballistic and started demanding answers from both of us. I told her the complete truth . Cole was forced to say the truth. I broke up at the spot and went home. I blocked his number and him from all my social media accounts. Later I found out he just did not have a relationship with me but with many other women behind his wife's back. How can I be so stupid to think I can get true love". Saying she started laughing but the laugh is bitter."Oh honey ".Anna can be a wild ,outspoken and sassy person but she has a kind heart. If she loves somebody she loves them with her full heart. For that she had faced many heart breaks. She is a person who is beautiful inside out but all guys she dated never cared for her . They only cared for her money. Being rich has its own drawbacks."On top of that his wife was four months pregnant".She burst out in another set of tears. I stand up and sit beside her. I gave her a side hug and said consoling words. I move her hairs from her face which are sticking to her face." Honey, you are better than that asshole. You deserve so much better than him"."Why Kim why does it always happen to me ? Whenever I dated I faced heart breaks. Am I not beautiful enough that they do this to me? "." Shut up, never say that. You are beautiful inside out and do not ever think otherwise because of some cheating bastard who was just after your money ".Anna is truly beautiful . Guys in our school used to look at her like she was their dream girl but she was obvious to the attention she was getting from the male population of our school. She dated the worst guys and faced terrible break ups. No boy was interested in me. Who would have been interested in boring nerdy brown frizzy hair with a hazel eyed girl.Anna is dirty blond with grey eyes, figure of a model and face of a angle.Elegant, sophisticated and a very nice family background that any rich family wanted her to marry into their family. She is her own person. Anna is passionate about whatever she has done with her full heart and has succeeded.Our orders arrive, I return in my chair. The waitress looked at Anna and her a sympathetic smile and leave. I start drinking my coffee. Anna went to the washroom to clean herself when she returned she look fresh and has returned to her normal self but I knew better. Anna feels uncomfortable when she vulnerable so she tries to hide it with her cheerful self.She sit on her chair, took her Cappuccino in both hands and asked" How is Jackson doing? Is he going to propose to you or not.Because if he is not then I am doing it. Oh God, you guys are like dated for six years".I blushed and said "Seven years and yes we are good. He is in North China. We have not discussed anything about marriage".Jackson is my long term boyfriend. We met in our senior year of school. He was an exchange student we soon heated off. His father is Anna's father's business partner.I never thought a girl like me can get a guy like him. He is handsome, charming , muscular and perfect at everything and me, well the same old boring Kimberly.The girls from my high school made remember how much I am grateful that Jackson choose me as his girlfriend. Girls used flock around him like honeybees around flowers. Out of all the girls he chose me, an ugly duckling . I never myself beautiful but Anna make me remember how beautiful I am . Jackson is supportive. Throughout the senior year we dated. After school he went to navy and I stayed in state to complete my college. We decided on a long distance relationship and stayed in touch.We used to fight a lot and we were almost on the verge of breaking up but he returned and we made up. He only returns during holidays. It has been seven years we have been together but it feels like something is missing. I know I have a mate somewhere . Waiting for him is no use .I know he will be disappointed in me for being a hunter. It's better I do not know him. At least it will save me from heartbreak from seeing him rejecting me and mating with another she-wolf. Suddenly my mood turned sour thinking about my mate with another woman."Hey I am getting late for work. I am leaving. Call me later"." Bye Kim and may God send you a handsome pet owner today".I just shake my head and laugh.Typical Anna Mary. She is never going to change and I do not want her to change."Bye" Saying I exited the shop.ANOTHER TIRING DAY.Knox P. O. V'It is a big ball room, and a big chandelier is hanging from the ceiling . Different people socialize with each other but everything is blurry. People are wearing masks. Some are dancing , a group of musicians playing instruments but I can not hear anything. Women are wearing ball gowns and men are wearing three piece suits. The steward announced the name of the new arrival person. I can not hear it . A man entered with a elderly couple in front of him. His face is not clear. I have seen this man so many times in my dream but I can not see his face till now. When I was kid I used to get this kind of dream more but now it is coming frequently. Mother tried so many spells but it never worked. It's like this dream is trying to tell me with different visions but nothing . In my dreams I saw a man and a woman figure. In one of those dreams I saw someone kill them. It was a woman wearing a cloak, she had a dagger. She tried to stab the man but the other woman came in front of
Knox P. O. VAfter changing my clothes I enter the dungeon , loud sounds can be heard from outside. They are screaming in pain and agony. Nothing can prepare them for what is about to come. This is my safe haven. My demon gets peace from cries in pain. He is thirsty with blood and the painful screams. He will only calm down when he gets the blood of those two rogues on him. I enter the dungeon with a fierce growl. Seeing me everyone bowed their heads in respect and move out of my way. The rogues are chained with silver chains to the chair, they are all blooded, their face are swollen from all torture. Their fingures are broken. What a beautiful scene to watch. I bend in front of one rogue who is still alive and gasped his chin tightly and look directly in his eyes. "If you answer my question right I will let you go. If I like your answer may be I will let you live"." So why did you enter my land WITHOUT MY PERMISSION? " I choke him by his neck and leave him with a jerk. He take a
Knox P. O. VWhen I went to the library My mother was sitting on the chair behind the desk, her head was down . She was deep in thought, when she heard the rattle of the door opening she raised her head and looked directly into my eyes. Victoria has not aged a lot. Being a tribrid has slowed her aging process. She has a warm and motherly expression on her face. Her eyes turned softer when she saw me. My mother is a member of the wolf council so she has to travel a lot across the world. I thought she had gone for a long like always. "Knox, son I heard what happened. Are you alright? Did you get hurt? Why did the rogues suddenly attack? We had a deal with their leader that they will stay away from our land and we will be theirs".Victoria's face was covered in concern . " Yes I am fine. Rogues attacked and killed about twenty pack warriors but we managed to eliminate them. We captured a few but did not survive and he did not open his mouth". My mom had a calm expression but there was
Knox P. O. VI am panting heavily, sweat is dripping down my back and covering my forehead. I eyed my opponent. We circled each other waiting for who was going to attack first. My grip on both the swords tightened as well her's . We both bend on our knees and leap in the air. Both our swords crashed. Both are not backing down. We landed on our feets. She charged at me first with her swords ,tried to stab me but I bent backward. She retreats her sword , I straighten myself. She took a right hook while attacking with her sword but I was fast, bending my body to the left I hooked my left leg around her right and made her fall on her ass. "Never underestimate your opponent"."Ahhh I will get you for that".After taking black flip three times along with her swords she stands up straight. Narrowing her eyes at me.She takes an attacking position while watching my every movement. " Show off".That triggered her. She ran towards me with her wolf speed . I side stepped her at the last moment
Kimberly P. O. VJackson will be returning today around evening. It has been so long since I had last seen him. I am so happy . I can not wait to spend time with him. He is going to be in state for three weeks. But now I am stuck with my parents. Jackson's ship will reach New York Harbor around six that means I have six hours to spend before I meet him at the harbor. Jakson's parents are not in state. Jakson's great aunt is sick so they went to look for her in Florida. Jakson's extended family owns a few ranches in Florida. They are very rich. But Jackson's father did not want to be a part of the family business so he came to New York with his wife and Jackson, when Jackson was eight. His father started a tech company and reached to the top. His company is now one of the top companies in New York. He wanted Jackson to inherit the company but Jackson chose to be a Navy SEAL after he graduated from high school. His father never forced him though because his family had forced him to t
Knox P. O. VAfter the day's training I was going through the files of the new circuit. They are quite efficient I could see while we were training today. The knock on the door interrupted my work. The door pushed open and Juliana entered. "Do you get anything important information from the trackers ? "."Yes, the hunters have started arriving. They are living in the West side of the woods in a cabine. They have not started hunting yet". " Keep an eye on them. Hunting season is about to start in a few weeks. Make sure nobody goes that side. If they attack you know what you have to do. Don't spare any of those hunters"."Yes I am going to station small groups of warriors all over the pack land and inform the pack members to stay away from there. I should take my leave, I have something to do"." Yes you may leave ".I start going through the documents again. Stress is getting on me. " You look stressed. If you frown any longer, wrinkles will start showing . We do not want that face t
Kimberly P. O. VI feel like somebody is shaking me. I spat the hand away. I feel it again on my body. "Kim wake up. Kimberly Stones wake up now".I peeled my eyes open but quickly closed them as the sunlight fell on my eyes. It felt like it would burn my eyes. I shielded my eyes and blinked a few times. I turned my head and saw Anna was standing by my side. It took me a minute to recall that I was in a hospital room, sleeping on a chair.I now remember Anna and I took turns to look after uncle. Anna bribed the doctor to let both of us stay. I knew Anna was emotionally wrecked so it was better I stayed. She needed someone to be there for her. I tried to get up from the chair but my whole body was sore. I did not know when I fell asleep in the middle of the night. I looked at uncle and saw he was sleeping. Bandages covered his forehead. His right arm was broken and it was casted. There was a deep long cut on his right leg covered in bandages. The glass had sliced his skin deeply.
CHAPTER- 16Kimberly P. O. VIt has been nearly two weeks but there has been radio silence from Jackson. I have not heard anything about him.I tried to call him to apologize. He has been ignoring my calls and messages ever since our fight. Soon I stopped. There is no use of calling or messaging. I hope he gets his head out of his ass and comes to his senses before he goes back to his duties within two weeks so we can talk like adults rather than having a screaming match whenever we see each other. Jackson always has been strong headed, he is arrogant and acts as a jerk when everything is not according to him. He is polar opposite to his parents. We fight more than we communicate in this relationship .He can also be the sweetest person in the world, at least when we were in high school. Girls in high school made me believe that I am lucky that a guy like him would ever glance at me or let alone date me. All the girls were jealous when Jackson asked me out. Hottest guy and the captai
