Skye's POV"There's no one here." Alec spoke, as the two of us searched through Kristen's room. There wasn't much inside, just some paper trash, and a table with empty plates and utensils. Her cabinet was also in a disarray, her clothes scattered in every direction. "Just search for things that'll give us lead." Alec instructed, and I was honestly down that he was still refusing to talk to me. Keira and Nathan were off somewhere, trying to search for her all over town. So it was just me and Alec right now, with a raging silent fight rising between the two of us."I'm not sure we should be doing this. I mean, I did say I was still unsure of the whole idea of this. Plus, we have no evidence against her." I hesitated, hoping a response from him, but all I received was a deadly silent treatment. It was killing me inside. I know I hid something from him, but it's not like he's not hiding something from me, for goodness sake all people has secrets!"Alec are you really not talking to me
Skye's POVI transformed back to my human form and looked around the forest, tracing their scent.It was raining a little so their scent was fading, so I have to find them fast or else I'll lose track of them.I tried breathing in the air, but all that came to my senses was the smell of wood, rain and soil mixed up together."Keira! Nathan! Where are you guys!" I shouted loudly on the top of my lungs. I persisted for a few more minutes, but eventually decided to keep quiet and just look for them.The rain was slowly going away, and that was a good sign, but the bad part was that their scent was completely washed off, so I don't know how else to locate them. I decided to fly back again to find them faster, since I have a clearer view above.I flew for a few minutes, and just exactly as I expected I spotted them, but they were surrounded by rogues and seemed to be in trouble.I flew fast to them and when the huge rogue was about to attack Nathan from behind, I changed into my human for
Skye's POV"Mmm-mmm..." I groaned, feeling soreness enveloping my whole body. I slowly opened my eyes, and I adjusted to the light. My vision a little foggy.I tried to move around but found my wrist chained to the wall. I was rattled by the realization and groaned from pain.I looked to my side to see Nathan and Keira also chained up in the wall."Guys..." I whispered, my voice a little sore. I tried a few more times since they weren't budging and finally after the fifth time, Nathan slowly fluttered his eyes open. "Fuck...what happened." He cursed, and when he also realized where we are. He started thrashing around. The metal chains ringed causing a lot of irritating sound. "Fuck this! Let us go you cowards!" He yelled and I couldn't do anything to stop him. "Nathan. Nathan..." I called him a few time and his voice receded, and he looked at me, fury circled in his bright orbs."Calm down, don't make another sound. I'll think of a way to get us out of here." I said, but it was al
Skye's POVDays have passed since our abduction. When we arrived at the pack, everyone was in low spirits.In the midst of it all, I saw his face that was full of anguish, the three of us walled in, and people made way, surprised to see a lot of blood and bruises in our bodies.Alec slowly turned his head and when he saw me, he practically ran to me and hugged me tightly, asking me questions of where I've been and why I was suddenly just gone.Nathan took that opportunity to release all his frustrations, he told everyone what happened to Erin, who the traitor was, and that only heightened the roars of the crowd.Erin's family still couldn't believe she was dead and persistently convinced Alec to look for her, but the situation now was still dire and complicated, one wrong move and we would all be eradicated.Alec's parents were recovering, but they were still far from being okay.So Alec was now assuming the role of his father temporarily, and commanded the warriors to do extra traini
Skye's POVWe settled inside my bedroom so we could talk more privately.Freya was still fuming hearing what Alec said, and I was also shocked he said that, although in truth, I was the one who really marked him. But Alec doesn't know that yet, I bet he thinks it's just some weird rune or something."Skye, our family is in chaos after you left. I know you said that you'd come see your mate but I didn't think that you would leave for this long. I thought it would just be a couple of days, and it's more than a month! What were you thinking." Freya continued, facing me with a pissed look. "Don't yell at her." Alec warned, abut Freya being Freya, as usual nothing could easily calm her down."Quiet! I'm not talking to you." She barked, flipping her hair at him."Where's Sian? How in the world did he let you leave by yourself." I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. Sian was her possessive mate, that guy would do anything to make her stuck by his side all day. So I'm sure something happened be
Skye's POV"You look mad. Is everything alright?" Freya quickly went to my side as I stomped my way out of Alec's room.I brushed away the tears that cascaded on my cheeks and didn't turn back until I was outside.He's such a jerk! He told me nothing would change between us and now he's pushing me away!"Hey Skye...what happened, why are you crying did that guy do something to you?" Freya asked, and I looked at her, my brows furrowed."It's all your fault, if you didn't come here in the first place then everything would have been fine." I harrumphed, walking away."Fine, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sow discord between the two of you...well, maybe I did a little." I stopped, and gave her a hard glare. Her eyes dropped and she sighed, "Ok fine, I'm sorry." She said."It doesn't matter now. Alec doesn't want me here anymore, he thinks I was the reason why their enemies suddenly turned up. I just don't get it, we had a good thing going. Maybe he's bipolar or has split personalities? What
Skye's POV"So you're really a phoenix, and...not a witch?" Alec asked me, tilting his head to the side like a curious child. But not innocent looking though since he's roughly big, and well... children have soft features. But it doesn't matter, I consider him as my big baby anyway."Yeah." I curtly answered, and he looked me up and down, still shrouded with disbelief."But... aren't phoenix immortals? And you don't age, so..." He paused for a while, and I think I know where he's getting at. "How old exactly are you?" I sighed hearing exactly the question I was expecting from him.I stayed quiet for a few second before answering him, "I'm 358 years old." I said, and his mouth parted widely, his eyes became void of any hint of visible emotions in them. As if he fell into an abyss. Well, actually I'm describing him a little bit dramatically, but his face was really no good when he heard my actual age."So...umm..." He stuttered, looking at me, "You're really old huh?" He said, and my mou
Skye's POV"Skye..." I heard a disembodied voice whispering in my ears. I shuffled around the bed, feeling sore all over. "Skye..." I heard my name being called again. I slowly opened my eyes and the bright light of the sun hit my face making me groan in discomfort."Ughh... who opened the curtain, it's too bright." I complained, then I heard someone chuckle beside me."Baby, it's already afternoon. You have to get up." I fluttered my eyes to my side, trying to keep my eyes open. After a few seconds, my vision became stable and have adapt to the brightness and I saw Alec smiling at me with a gentle expression. "Alec? What are you doing in my bed?" I questioned, he think broke into a quiet laughter and kissed my temples."Have you forgotten about last night?" He smirked. I was confused by what he meant, and like five seconds after, memories came flooding in my head. Shoot! Did we...did we have sex last night?!My eyes remained on Alec's face, and he was still smiling foolishly at me
