ANMELDENVenusThe once cool air suddenly became stiff. I could feel Ralph and Kai shooting daggers at each other while I stood in between the chaos that was about to befall us…or me.“What are you doing here?” Was he going to keep coming to see me everyday?“I didn't know I needed permission to be here.” he stopped a few feet away from us. “Did a pretty boy ask for permission?”“Keep me out of your jealousy.” Ralph warned.“Oh you have no idea how horrible my mood is right now, so I suggest you keep your lips together.” Kai took a step towards him.Ralph's figure turned from me to Kai as he took another step. They were only a foot apart.“I beg you guys to not do anything crazy.” I pleaded, “Sven and Rayna are home. They could hear you or something.”I knew the gates were far away from the main building, but Vuk could pick up on the distant sound or the unsettling feeling if they lashed out at each other.“You must think I'm some kid you can beat now, don't you?”“Think?” Kai let out a dry ch
VenusI steered gently on my bed, my body slowly realizing that I had fallen asleep at some point.I opened my eyes slowly and turned towards the darkness that spread outside my window.I slept into the night? Beautiful.A whole day was wasted and I spent it sleeping due to a slight waist pain.I turned to my other side, following the typing sound I heard and my eyes landed on Ralph glued to his phone.Wait, what?“How're you still here?” The words jumped out my mouth.He looked up at me from his phone screen, “oh, you're awake. I um…I didn't want to leave you alone just yet.”I pulled my phone towards me, my eyes widening at the sight of the time.“It's past 8 pm. Wouldn't your pack members be looking for you?”“Relax, Venus. I'll be leaving soon. I just wanted to be sure you're really okay.”I pushed myself up and just like I had expected, Sai had done her thing. I could barely feel anything.He stared at me as I took a seat, my back resting on the frame.“Seems you're okay then.”“
VenusHow did sparring lead me into having a broken back?I felt a slight pain shooting through my waist every time I moved, and it was even worse when I tried to stand straight.Just great.We got to the front of my room door and Ralph helped me push it open, still holding on to me so I wouldn't end up falling like a weak building.He helped me into the and I got into bed, my stomach down and my face buried into my pillow.“Do you feel hungry?”“Hmm.” My voice came out muffled through the pillow.“I really can't hear you.” I turned my head to the side, “I'm fine.” “I'm sorry about how hard I threw you. I'm really sorry.”I stayed mute, my face still away from him.I wasn't upset I got a sprained waist, I was upset I lost in a simple combat training.How did I get so weak?I expected to hear him ask if I was still upset or if I had forgiven him, but what filled the air next was the clicking sound of the door as he closed it shut.I turned my head the other direction…and he was gone.
VenusWith every punch I threw, my knuckles felt sore. My hands were wrapped, but the force I applied on the punching bag gave an effect and I felt it draining my strength.I took a pause, holding my waist as I panted heavily.The training room was empty, the echoes of my grunts being the only sound around. I felt sweat dripping from my face, the rush I needed when I decided to come training running through me…yet, I wasn't calm.Everything that happened with Kai yesterday kept replaying in my head like a movie on repeat and I couldn't help feeling bad somehow.He didn't even let me clean up his wound totally before leaving, yet he claimed to be fine.What I couldn't understand was: why did I care so much?I needed to choose one mate based on how good our relationship was, how flowy it was without stress…not based on how my heart betrayed me and kept thinking of one more than the other.I grabbed my face towel on my gym bag and wiped my face clean.Tossing it back, I walked towards t
Venus Rayna turned to Kai who stood beside us before turning to me. “Sven's…brother?” Kai grunted in a displeasing way. “Half brother…sorry.” He nodded slightly before turning to me. “How do we get back home? And where the hell is the driver?” Wouldn't be surprised if that driver was in on it. A lot of things had really happened that I wouldn't be surprised at anything anymore. “Kai came with his car. Didn't you?” He nodded at the car that was packed at a distance. “But, he'll need to change, right?” she asked. I tilted my head at him a bit. ‘You can leave with the car. I'll meet up with you.’ he mindlinked me before walking away. “Wait, how will you get there with an injury!” He ignored me and took off. Rayna turned to me, her hands folded and her eyes squinted a bit. “What?” I asked with a frown. A smile formed on her face and she shook her head slightly, “Can't get over how he's watching over you. He reminds me of Sven.” My lips curved into a fai

Sven~ “No.” I kept my tone firm. “I’m not interested in seeing my future, Freya.” She made a low irritated sound, her arms folding across her chest as she leaned back in the chair. She did not say a word. Just stared. It got under my skin instantly. “What is it?” I asked. She tapped her fing
Sven~Not witchcraft? I turned to her, grabbing her elbow. "What do you mean?"Freya shook her arm out of my grip, eyes sharp. "I mean your beta isn't being enchanted by witches, but was drugged."My mind stalled for a second, drugged. That was an entirely different threat. My stomach tightened, a
Rayna~ I woke up to Sven’s arm draped over my waist, a small smile spreading across my face as yesterday replayed in my mind. Vuk had actually played games with me, which was surprising for a moment. He bought and fixed a television for the room, grabbed a stack of board games so we had something
Sven~Witches hating wolves was nothing new. Nothing dramatic.But one sneaking into my pack and slipping a spell on my beta to make him believe my woman was his mate?Yeah, that was a whole different level of bullshit. My jaw clenched just thinking about it, irritation buzzing under my skin."How.
