Chapter 47

THE AFTERMATH

Mima's POV

“Mima.”

Julia smiled at me as she limped toward me.

I had forgotten to ask her why she looked so injured when I saw her at the brawl. Purple and black bruises littered her skin, dark against her complexion, and her right hand was wrapped in heavy bandages.

Why... What did they do to her?

Zahra seemed to notice my shift in expression because she gently took Kia’s hand and stood. “Come on, Kia, let's take a walk.”

I barely registered Kia’s little voice asking, Why is Julia hurt? Before the door clicked shut, leaving us alone.

The moment the sound of their footsteps faded, I rushed to Julia’s side and grabbed her uninjured hand. She flinched as I grabbed her, but immediately she noticed what she had done. She turned and tried to smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.

“What happened to you?” I muttered.

The moment the door closed, the strength she had been holding onto shattered. Her face crumpled, and she broke into quiet sobs.

I couldn’t hold back. I pu

    Mima's POVRake's smile fell and his brows furrowed slightly, his lips pressing into a thin line as he stared at Julia, looking directly at her wounds.Julia squirmed in her seat, shifting uncomfortably under the scrutiny. Her fingers fidgeted with the hem of her dress, and she cast a nervous glance my way as if silently asking for help.I elbowed Rake in the ribs. He flinched and looked down at me with his brow raised and I mouthed later.He gave a subtle nod and looked away from Julia.I sighed, turning my attention back to her. “I was thinking... when I go back home, I want you to come with me.”Julia blinked. “Come with you?”Rake’s brow arched slightly at my words, but he remained silent.I nodded. “Yes. I don’t think you should stay here. It’s not safe, and you don’t owe them anything.”Julia hesitated.Rake finally spoke. “That might be a little complicated.” I frowned at him. “Why?”He leaned back to the wall and crossed his arms. “Because Julia is still a member of Dylan’s pa

    Mima's POVI shifted slightly, brushing strands of hair from his forehead. “Kia,” I whispered.The room was quiet except for Kia’s steady breathing beside me. His small arms were still wrapped around my waist, his body warm against mine.His eyelids fluttered open, as he looked around, probably trying to remember how he got here.“Morning,” he mumbled.I hesitated before speaking. “You stayed with me the whole night. Thank you.”He shrugged. “You needed it.”I smiled faintly. “I really appreciate what you did but don't leave Zahra alone without telling anyone. This isn't our pack, we might not be safe.”“I told Zahra you were sad and she let me come here,” he grumbled. He didn't like to get scolded. That's one thing I had noticed about him.Kia turned his head slightly, staring at the ceiling as he ignored me.Sheesh.I should change the topic then. “Kia… Can you tell me about your past?”His whole body tensed.I had expected that reaction. Kia never talked about where he came from or

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 50: URGENT RETURN

    Rake’s POV“Rake, sir,” the maid’s voice calls softly through the door. “A letter for you.”I sit up in bed, instantly awake, rubbing my eyes. I throw on a robe and open the door. She hands me a letter and immediately I glance at the seal, I recognise it.“Thank you,” I mutter, and she nods, disappearing back down the hall.I sit down on the bed, the thick paper crinkling in my hands as I break the seal and unfold the letter.Alpha Rake, we’ve found leads on the strange who kidnapped Mima. We also have new information on Kia’s past. Come back immediately. It’s urgent.~BeckI run my hand through my hair in frustration. We have to go back.Mima was sleeping on the bed peacefully with Kia tucked beside her. He had been sleeping here ever since that day he spoke to me. Mima stirred and slowly opened her eyes. She looked around the room before her eyes landed on me. She looked at the letter in my hand and raised a brow.“You’re up early,” she comments, her voice light, though I can tell

    Mima's POV“Alpha Dylan will see you now.” Immediately, Rake got called back, and Dylan sent a guard to call me to his office. I came by but it seemed he was occupied with some people in his office.The guard pulled the door open for me to walk in and two people stepped out at the same time. I had never seen them before but I unintentionally shivered as they walked by me.Two old men with scowls on their faces. I stood rooted to the ground as they walked by me. Something rolled off them in waves and I was scared to my bones. Was this the negative energy the goddess was talking about?I was definitely not ready if it was. No wonder she told me to leave. Should I have gone with Rake?No, I can do this. Why do I need to run?“Mima, I'm so glad that you could make time to see me.” Dylan sat behind his desk, looking as stupid as ever with that obviously fake grin on his face.I smirked at me and his smile fell for a bit before he nervously put it back on his face. He was scared of me... Go

    Mima's POV“It has that smell.”“What smell?” What was Kia talking about? He looked frozen in place as if he couldn't move. He kept staring at the bottle of wine on the table and what did he mean by it has that smell?“That smell, bad smell. You won't be yourself anymore.”What? Was it laced with poison?I dropped the cup and walked to him. I placed my hand on his shoulder, making him flinch. It was as if he didn't know I was there. He seemed to be in a trance. I held his hand and took him to the bathroom. He was still shaking.I immediately soaked the cloth in a bowl and began to clean his face. He was sweating profusely, and each time I touched him, he flinched more.What was going on?I glanced at Kia, his body was still trembling as I wiped the sweat from his face. His earlier reaction replayed in my mind, the way he knocked the cup away, the absolute terror in his eyes. Whatever he had smelled, it had shaken him to his core.I swallowed the lump in my throat and stood up. I neede

    Mima's POV Nothing happened.When I woke up, Zahra was still seated by the door in case anyone tried to forcefully come in. I looked at her and we made eye contact. She shook her head, meaning that no one had tried to come in.Thank the goddess. I didn't know how we would confront them, with Kia in the room.He had obviously gone through so much and I didn't want him to see anything that was violence related.I didn't want him to go through anything but joy now.I yawned and got up walking over to Zahra. “I think we can go back to our room now.”“No. From today, you will be sleeping here. Although you escaped at night, who knows if they didn't put something there again? Huh?”She was right. We could basically be walking into a trap if we go back there so it would be safer to stay here. With every minute that Rake had gone, I couldn't help but miss him. They were bold when he was here but not as bold. Now, they're trying to attack me at every turn.Kia woke up minutes after and was ba

    Mima's POVIt was finally the day of the wedding. Stephanie had ignored me all through the days that led up to it after the brawl. She was only confident enough to send me side glances obviously filled with hatred.I was applying my makeup in front of the vanity as Kia wore his suit.I hadn't heard from Rake in days. I wasn't even sure he would make it for the wedding.“Well, hello there beautiful.” Zahra was leaning by the door frame. She wore her usual attire. Leather pants and a compression top with boots.“Is that what you're wearing to the wedding?” I asked her. I, on the other hand,, was in a strapped yellow body con dress that reached my ankles.“Am I supposed to be all fancy about a wedding that I wished would burn to the ground?”“Don't say things like that. Anybody could hear you.” I gasped and then let out a small laugh. I couldn't wait for the wedding to be over. I needed to go back home to Rake. Especially after I had been warned so many times that it was dangerous here.

    Mima's POV“So, tell me. Did you miss me? Wait, don't answer that. I know you did.” His head was around my neck, and he was taking a sniff.“You smell just as good as you did that night but better.”I was getting more disgusted by the minute but I didn't know what to do.“How did you get so strong? Tell me.”I suddenly felt compelled to tell him the truth. What was going on? Was the stuff he forced down my throat?“The... goddess” I muttered.“Uhun? What did the goddess do?” His hand was trailing higher and higher under the slit he created and I was helpless.“She... helped... me”“You're trying so hard to resist the poison but it will do its job just fine. We have all the time in the world.His hand was just above my undies when he was thrown off me and slammed into the nearest wall.I fell to the ground, losing all feeling in my legs after being held up for too long.“You motherfucker. Keep your hands off my mate!”I slowly blinked to see Rake standing over Dylan with a bloody fist.

    Mima’s POVI stood in front of the healersitent, watching as the injured soliders where taken in one by one. Any injury too big would then require my attention.“Mima.”I turned slowly, and there he was… Dylan.His once pristine armor was cracked and bloodied, a ghost of the Alpha he used to be. His face was gaunt, eyes wild and desperate. His steps were uneven as he approached, and for the first time, I didn’t feel the familiar hate that I felt toward him. I felt… nothing.“You came back from the dead,” he said, breathless, as if seeing me alive again was too much to believe. “You came back for me.”I frowned. “I didn’t come back for you, Dylan. I came back because my mate prayed to the goddess for me to come back. I had to. For them.”His jaw tightened. “You don’t mean that. You… you still love me. I know you do. You wouldn’t have come back otherwise.” He stepped closer. “Everything we had, everything we were, it meant something. I lost my Luna. But you… you're still mine.”“No,” I

    Rake's POVThe world had stopped.I couldn’t hear the cries of victory around me. I couldn’t hear the screams of my pack. I couldn’t even hear the roar of the wind as it tore across the battlefield. All I could hear was the only sound that mattered.. and it was the deafening silence in my heart.Mima.My fingers brushed her cold, lifeless face as I cradled her in my arms. Her skin was pale, the life that once burned so fiercely in her eyes now snuffed out. “Please…” I whispered, my voice barely a breath as I bent over her. “Please, Mima… don’t leave me. Not like this. Not after everything.”My wolf howled in agony, pressing against my chest as if it, too, could feel the emptiness inside of me. The loss. The endless ache. The weight of her death was too much to bear. My chest tightened, my lungs burning as I fought to hold onto the fragile hope that somehow, someway, she would open her eyes again.But as I sat there, helpless, holding her in the midst of the chaos, a sinking feeling

  • The Chosen One   CHAPTER 141: FIREBORN

    Mima’s POVHe was smiling.That wicked, cruel smile, aimed directly at me, as if daring me to try something, to fight back.As if he hadn’t already taken enough.Kia gasped, kicking, blue sparks fluttering weakly from his fingers. Rake’s eyes were wide, his body twitching in resistance, but he was too weak and too injured.And I was useless… lying down there not able to save the ones I loved. Is this really how it would end? Is this what all I've done will amount to? A scream tore from my lungs as I forced my body to lift from the ground even with the hole of the sword attack from Stephanie still in my chest.My hair whipped around me as they grew longer and shone brightly in their white glory. The marks on my skin began to glow brighter and brighter than they've ever shone before and my voice? It didn't sound like it was only mine.I screamed again and the earth yielded to my call like I was its owner. The sky dimmed, clouds swirling. The earth groaned beneath me.Viktor's grin falt

  • The Chosen One   CHAPTER 140: YOU RUINED EVERYTHING

    Mima's POVRake’s grip tightened around me as I collapsed into his arms, and for a moment, I felt like I could breathe again. But the illusion was shattered now, and Viktor’s rage was not far behind.“How dare you!” he roared. The air around us rippled with pressure as if reality itself buckled beneath his fury.A blast of dark energy shot from his palm, slamming into Rake and sending him flying from me with a sickening crunch."RAKE!" I screamed.He hit the ground hard, coughing up blood, his body limp.I felt something inside me snap.The illusion, the pain, the grief, it all faded, replaced by a white, hot fury that surged through my veins like liquid fire.Viktor turned to me with a twisted smirk. "Still so fragile, little Alpha.” He looked as if he was lost in thought and then spoke. “I thought lycans are meant to be stronger.” Then bellowed out a laughter. But I was already moving.I summoned every ounce of power I had, launching a wave of searing fire toward him. It struck hi

  • The Chosen One   CHAPTER 139: A PIT OF GHOSTS

    Mima's POV"You're lying," I whispered. My voice cracked under the weight of everything.Viktor. He must be lying… there is no way that someone related to my family would cause so much actual chaos. He isn't telling the truth. He's not my uncle, he's not related to my dad's and there's no way he shares the same blood as me.He smiled like he knew every part of me. Like he was waiting for this meeting his whole life."No, Mima," he said gently. "I never needed to lie. Not to you. I mean this is the end that determines it all so why would I need to lie? I have no reason to do something as insignificant as that.”I took a shaky step back. My heart was racing, every instinct screaming at me to fight. To burn him. But I needed answers."You look exactly like him," I said, voice hardening. "How is that possible? Even if you're brothers you don't need to look like him this much. You must be trying to fool me." I already told you that I have no time to play such phony games and we look alik

  • The Chosen One   CHAPTER 138: BLOOD AND MIRRORS

    Mima’s POVWe followed the trail that they had left behind.Marks, clawed bark, blackened grass, smoke spiraling in the wind like fingers pointing the way. The packs and their warriors that we have assembled, Alpha after Alpha and warrior after warrior followed me.No one asked where we were going. They trusted me. Rake walked beside me in silence. His blade never left his hand. Beck and Zahra were already ahead, scouting. Everyone else trailed behind, a small continent of fury and fear marching toward a battlefield they hadn’t seen yet.But I had.In my dreams. In the whispers from the goddess. In the warnings carved into the bones of my losses.Still, when we arrived, it didn’t look like a war zone.It looked… empty. What the hell is going on?And in the center, maybe twenty of them? The shadow soldiers.I stiffened. “This isn’t right.”Zahra frowned. “Where’s the rest of them?”“They want us to think this is it,” Rake said. “It’s not.”I didn’t speak. I just stepped forward.Ever

    Mima’s POV“Rake? Mima?” Zahra called out as I poked my head out. She rushes over to me and hugged me tightly and Beck turned in the direction that Rake was looking and saw Martin's body leaning by a tree. The hood was off so it was pretty obvious that the man was dead. Zahra turned and saw it for a second before she held me tighter. I was numb and wanted to cry but no tears were willing to come out. “I'll get the body.” Beck volunteered and walked towards where the body was. He put the hood back on and carried the body in his arms while Rake took me out of Zahra's arms and into his. “You're certain that you didn't run into anyone on your way here?” He asked and they both nodded. Rake shook his head and then signalled for Beck to start moving so we can get back to the pack.No one said a word on the walk back.Rake carried me because I was still shaking too much to walk properly. His chest was warm, but it couldn’t chase away the chill inside me.Beck walked ahead of us, Martin’s

  • The Chosen One   Chapter 136: THE GHOST WHO SAVED ME

    Mima’s POVIt was strange… waking up and actually feeling stronger.Not just rested. Not just healed. Stronger.It had been three weeks since training started, and a while since Rake and I mated and somehow everything was falling into a rhythm. The packs, once strangers and even enemies, had found a weird sort of harmony in blood and sweat.Kian had leveled up so fast it was almost scary. His elemental power had gone from flickering sparks to full-out flames, literal ones and his forcefield gets stronger as more impenetrable per day.At one point, he scorched the edge of the training field and Frederick nearly had a heart attack. Ria’s speed was unmatched, and she’d been training stealth maneuvers that left even seasoned warriors blinking in confusion.And me?I wasn’t just shooting fireballs anymore. I could shoot bigger ones and I could use my powers for a longer time without feeling tired easily.Rake noticed it first.“You’re glowing,” he said bluntly one night.I snorted. “What,

    Mima’s POV“I must be dreaming,” I said flatly, staring at the man walking into my office.Dylan.Of course.“What the hell is he doing here?” I muttered.‘if you're here to ask for the release of your elders, it wouldn't work. They committed a crime on our turf and our land so your begging is useless.” I said and he looked taken aback.Guess he wasn't informed about that yet then. “He says he wants to help,” Rake said from beside me, jaw tight.I let out a dry laugh. “Help? His pack slaughtered mine. Help is the last thing I’d call this. Plus, his pack is filled with disgusting and bike creatures that would do anything for power. Him included.”I said loud enough for him to hear what I thought about him.“I know.” Rake’s voice dropped. “But we need the numbers.”I hated how right he was.We had maybe two, two and a half thousand wolves tops. Kian and Ria’s intel put Viktor’s army over six thousand. Trained.I didn’t have the luxury of pride right now.Frederick stood ahead, already
