AXEL“You wouldn’t even have dared to die,” I told her, a smile on my face as we all entered the room. Mom leaned in and wrapped her hands around her. “Careful not to touch her neck,” Dad quickly said. “How are you?” Mason asked, his gaze fixed on her. Indie looked at him, and with the way he was smiling, I knew she was mind-linking him. We all took turns mind-linking her, ensuring that she was okay and assuring her of how loved she was. “You’ll be fine, Indie. You’ll be able to talk again. I believe in you,” I told her. “Hopefully,” she replied. “And how is Violet?” she asked. “She’s fine,” I told her. “How did it end with the Eastern King?” she asked curiously. “He’s dead.” “Motherfucker!” she groaned. “If he wasn’t, I would’ve chased him to the end of the world and murdered him for doing this to you,” I groaned. “I trust you would,” she said.After a few more minutes, my dad leaned in and stroked her hair with his fingers. “Indie, dear. I wish I could stay with you fo
AXELWhen I got to the hospital, the doctors were attending to her, while Daisy, Mason, and I watched through the glass walls. Although she was awake, the sight of her broke my heart. She looked really bad. An oxygen mask was attached to her mouth and nose. She was in pain.“I just hope she’ll be okay,” Daisy said anxiously. “I really hope she will be able to talk,” Mason added, worried. “Do you think I can mind-link her?” “No. That would overwhelm her. We will talk to her when the doctor says it’s okay to do that,” I said. He sighed exasperatedly. “I cannot wait to go closer to her.”“My baby girl,” I suddenly heard my mom say. I turned to see her stepping beside us, watching Indie. My dad also came into view, but as he turned to look at Indie, he quickly flicked his gaze back at me. “What?” he exclaimed. “What the...” His gaze was fixed on my neck. He had seen my mark. It was covered with the turtleneck shirt I wore, that was why he hadn’t seen it before. But I had now chang
AXELAfter I finished taking my bath and wearing a fresh set of clothes, I started making my way back to the hospital. My chest was really tight, worried about my mate. I didn’t know what situation she was in right now, and there was no way I could find out unless I went to the South. Daisy is devastated right now, and it is difficult to ask her to teleport there in that state. I was really confused and frustrated. I didn’t know what to do.“Axel.” My father’s mind-link suddenly came through. “Where are you?" “I came back to the pack house to take my bath. But I am on my way back to the hospital already,” I told him. “No, you have to rest. Stay back at the pack house,” he quickly said. “How are your wounds?” “All healed. But I don’t see yourself resting as well. You are still in the hospital,” I responded. “I am the Alpha, so I have to stay and care for my people,” he argued. “And I will be the Alpha someday, so I have to start practicing. And besides, I have to be there for I
VIOLETMy body ached terribly. What happened to me? Was I hit by a moving train? I wondered. I opened my eyes, but a blinding light hit them and I shut them back closed.“Violet!” I heard my mother’s voice beam.What was she doing in my dorm room? I wondered.I slowly opened my eyes, adjusting them to the light. I looked around and saw that I was in a hospital bed, in a hospital room, at my pack. What was going on?“You are awake,” my mother said, tears pouring down her eyes. “The doctor is coming. I have called him.”“Mom, what happened?” I asked her, and at that moment, the memories came pouring back. The Eastern King tried to get students to accept him as their Alpha, but when Axel and I tried to stop him, we were both locked in the dungeon. Axel tried to use his body to break down the silver gates. I tried too, but failed miserably, which resulted in me passing out. Axel had cuts and burns on his body.Axel.My heart raced. Where was he? Was he okay?“Mom, where is my phone, pleas
AXEL“We have to find her. Could she be hiding somewhere around the school?” I muttered, more to myself than to Lila.Even if she was in school, she would’ve probably left by now since all the students had run away from the school and it was now empty.“I’ll keep looking for her. I am afraid of what she might be planning,” Lila said and sighed.“How do you plan to look for her?” I asked her. “I don’t know much about witches and spells, but since she is your twin, is there no way you could use your blood or something to look for her? Shouldn’t that work?”“Believe me, I have tried. But that bitch is just so good at hiding herself,” she said.A thought comes to my mind and I ask her, “If you eventually find her, what would you do to her? Are you just going to ask her to stop kidnapping innocent girls? And how do I trust that you are going to hand her over to us?”“I will kill her!” she spits, her voice laced with poison.“You would kill your own twin?” I asked her.“We never grew up tog
AXELThe hospital was filled with injured soldiers who were waiting to be treated when we got there. The queue was so fucking long. But Father instructed one of the doctors to attend to Alpha Richard urgently since his case was more severe.The doctor and some nurses were inside the room with him, trying to revive him while I paced up and down in front of the room. My mom and dad were going around the hospital, checking up on the wounded soldiers as their Alpha and Luna.My chest wouldn’t stop beating up and down at the thought of Violet. I really hoped she was okay. Nothing must happen to her. I wished I could just rush to the South and have her in my arms.As these thoughts continued to course through my mind, I suddenly sighted Daisy down the hall.“Daisy.” I quickly called her name, rushing toward her. If I couldn’t go to the South through the borders, maybe Daisy could teleport me there. I was dying to see my mate and be sure she was okay.“Axel...” Her voice came out as a whispe
