Amelia's POVHe's down to the floor trembling violently. His seizures has returned. This time, I don't know what to do. How do I stop this?I frantically scoop him into my arms as my tears drop on his bare chest. Every part of his body is now soaked with blood, staining my clothes in return but I don't care."Neil. Please wake up." I don't know if screaming his name would wake him up but I scream his name anyways.It doesn't end there. Neil's fingers curve and twist sharply... I hear his bones crunch. I hold his fingers and try to straighten them but it is as stiff as steel. I place a palm on his chest to feel his heart, but... There is nothing. He isn't breathing!My heart begin to violently beat as my eyes shoot open in fear. He can't possibly die! His body gradually quietens and his fingers nosily stretches. A thought crosses my mind as I sniff in a large amount of air. He needs me. I am the only one that can save him. I heard Logan say it; every werewolf needs a mate. Neil is lik
Neil's POVI feel so connected to Scythe. It feels as if we are more than just enemies. Something keeps holding me from going all out on him. Even as I could feel raw energy bubbling in the pit of my stomach, I still restrain myself from hurting Scythe. I don't know why but it feels so natural. I feel there is more to Scythe than being the shadow assassin. Like he needs my help and I could help him if I succeed in suppressing him. With my united alpha spirits and a much more stronger and amplified abilities, I'll suppress him. I have to capture him to find out why he's like this... Formless, shadowy, swift and strong. Determined to capture him alive, I release a little of my ecto-energy and stand in the centre of the wave as Scythe's shadow is split into different lumps. Afraid he might die, I gradually suck back the energy and Scythe's shadow reconnects. This time, Scythe begins to take form, legs first. A low growl escapes my lips as I watch his slow transformation — anticipating to
Neil's POVAt once, I am sitting opposite Amelia in the dinning, before the full plate of freshly cooked lasagna. "My favourite," I say under my breath. A smile escapes my lips unknowingly."Did you just smile at food?" Amelia asks, a hidden laughter behind her voice."Umm... hell no.""Don't mind him. Lasagna is his favourite. And I took my time to make it especially for him this morning. He has been away from home for long and I doubt he's had a good meal since then."Okay, now she wants to embarrass me. Narni is just a pack of sweetness. "I've been eating so well, Narni." My gaze rests on Amelia's face as we both understand the meaning behind that statement. I've been eating so damn well that I feel so full and refreshed perceiving her scent from here alone.But just as I said those words, Narni hits my head. I almost jump out of my seat screaming while Amelia bursts into laughter."I checked your regular; the supermarket, the restaurant and not even the kitchen was touched while I
None of my screams and struggling mattered as Lorenzo drags me into his private jet. He tucked me in on the seat and took his seat opposite me. Where is he taking me to? My heart rate rapidly picks as the reality dawns on me that we are leaving Chicago and probably, the country. I clench my teeth in anger. The sound of the engine whirrs below me and puts more pressure on my mind as I struggle to dislodge the fact that I won't get to see Neil anymore. Lorenzo sits leg-crossed opposite me as he sips gently from the content of the glass in his hand. A female flight attenant appears with a tray in her hand and she bends to drop the tray before Lorenzo. "Fuck off," but Lorenzo scares her away. She gasps and scurries out of sight, leaving Lorenzo and I in this... Lorenzo's private jet. Even though Lorenzo is sitting directly opposite me, I am no longer afraid of what he can do. He's only a piece of cake for Neil; with a flick of Neil's fingers and he's gone. Suddenly, I hear Neil's voice
Neil's POV If I can't trust my household, who then should I trust?Narni was my source of comfort each time I felt alone, without a mate which she called 'wife'. The only thing that separates us from being mother and child is the fact that she didn't birth me. Most of my neighbors already see her as my mother. Now it feels as if those warmth, those memories are being shattered by her voice alone. She's betraying me, selling me off to Lorenzo. She's causing me pains.Heira surfaces temporarily in anger, snarling at the frightened Amelia. But he doesn't mind. Amelia gasps shortly as she moves away from me, aware of the intimidating presence of my alpha wolf.'What are you still doing here? Do you want me to handle this myself?' Heira growls. Instantly, I shoot out of the seat and head towards Narni's room."Where are you going?" Amelia asks after me as she trudges behind me but I don't want her to see this. I don't want her to count Narni as evil for selling us out. I still want her t
Neil's POVI had mind-linked Amelia after finding out Lorenzo did not take her to his house. I don't know where or how to start looking for them as there was no trace of them anywhere. Amelia had told me Lorenzo was probably taking her out of the country and I am afraid of that happening, because the mind-link cannot extend outside the borders of America. It won't connect. And I am scared of losing all chances of connecting to Amelia which is why I have to act fast. My pilot is on his annual holiday and I have to let him enjoy his holiday at least. With that, I have no option but to go use the public plane while trying to connect to Amelia.I rent a car from a local shop and drive downhill to the nearest airport to book a flight as I mind-link Amelia again to know if she's found out where Lorenzo is taking her to.Amelia, I try to connect to connect to her, but all I hear is silence. What if she's finally left America and the mind-link has stopped working? I speed up as I clench my ja
Amelia's POVLorenzo pulls me forward by the arm as I struggle behind him, but it is like trying to stop a moving truck as his grip is too strong on me. He pushed me into a waiting car and steps in beside me as the car pulls away. All my mind is on Neil and when he's going to come for me. I don't know how to connect to him through the mind-link and I should have learnt this a long time ago.Lorenzo turns to me, his eyes darker and his face painted with smiles. "I'm imagining how much you'd make for me. I guess you're good at this."I ignore him and bite my lower lip instead. The car pulls in front of a building and we step out. "Bring her in," Lorenzo commands as he takes the lead. Instantly, two of his men pulls me by the arms as they lead me forward. This time, I quietly follow them.We walk into a room with different lights and powerful music wafting from the stereo at the other end. The room that I come to realize is a casino with the men gambling and drinking themselves to stupor
Boarding a ship to Europe did not take long. I enter the ship under a disguise to avoid what happened repeating itself. Going to Europe by ship will take long but that is the only option I have left.I take a sip of the wine and twirled the rest as I sit on the bed in the room I was placed in the ship. My mind returns to Amelia and what have become of her now. My heart shudders and I notice a lump in my throat as I pray she's safe.Talk to her, Heira growls.I have to try the mind-link again. But as I listen for Amelia's reply, I hear her painful gasps and whines...Someone is hurting her!I could feel her pain. She's been hit by someone. My breath comes rising as my throat went dry. I don't know what to do anymore. I brush a furious hand over my hair as my eyes angrily scans the room. I kick the wine glass and the bottle into the wall and the contents spills alongside the glass all over the room. A question screams right into my head; will I be able to save Amelia on time? Why didn't
