Mag-log inKathleen's POV Why does it feel like there is more to it?Well, it's not like it should bother me.As I sighed, feeling tired while walking forward, I was about to stop to drink water again when I smelt it, the lingering smell of blood in the air.Why is the smell increasing with the steps I take? Judging from the direction of the wind towards me, it seems like some kind of incident has happened not far away from here.'Kathleen, the smell is too strong. And it's getting stronger. Do you think we should wait here? Haven't you heard about the rogue packs that go around attacking passengers on this route? They have become more active these days. It's what that driver was talking about. You were talking about them too. Let’s not risk it,' Caris said.'But we can't stop here either. What if some human is injured? We can't let a bunch of rogues taint the whole species. And there are high chances that the Black blood pack members who have gone a few minutes ago are the ones causing the sce
Kathleen's POV"Miss, I won't be going forward from here," The cab driver suddenly spoke, and I opened my eyes before lifting my hat."What's the matter? I paid you the fare to this particular destination according to the fuel charges, didn't I? How can you bail at the last moment? Where would I even hail a cab in this region? As far as I know, it's still around 25 kilometers to the destination," I said, and the cab driver shook his head."Madam, it’s not about that. I am ready to return your money, but I won't go further. I just found out that the highway road to reach this Palace is under some repair, and we will have to take this forest route. When I had agreed to drive you there, I didn’t know about that. I have heard plenty of news about this forest and how humans disappear from these forests. Please spare me. I have a family with a two-year-old daughter. I can't risk my life like that," He said, and I looked at him helplessly.I get all that, but it’s 25 km. How am I supposed to
Kathleen's POVOf course. You are still the same naive, stupid girl who doesn't know what is going around her and sees nothing other than the things she has set her eyes on. However, this time you have set your eyes on taking revenge and knowing about yourself, which I must mention, I always wanted you to do," He said, and I hummed."Where will you meet me to get your red gem?" I asked, and he hummed, not saying for a few seconds."Keep that to yourself. I will come and take it from you at the right time. I am not in a hurry to get that at the moment. My stay is not permanent, and I am afraid I won't be able to take good care of it," he said, and I raised my brows."And, for some reason, you think I would take care of it? You better than anyone should know what kind of life I am living, and there is a high risk to my life, let alone this gem," I said, and he chuckled."Oh, don't worry about it. You won't die. I know some people are out there who would make sure nothing happens to thei
Kathleen's POV"Kathleen. Kathleen," I heard a faint voice before someone shook me, making me open my eyes as I looked around myself, before widening my eyes when I realized I was lying on Alexander's chest.What the hell?! How did I end up here? I thought before distancing myself away from him as I sat straight."It looks like you had a very nice sleep. Unfortunately, I couldn't sleep a wink since someone was adamant about hugging me and squeezing the life out of me," Alexander said, and I felt heat rising to my cheeks, guilty conscience settling in my heart."I don't know what you are talking. I am sure it's your trick. I was sleeping on this side with my head on the window sill. I am always careful of my surroundings and know to stay within my limits. Are you sure you weren't the one who pulled me towards himself while I was in a deep slumber? You took advantage of me, didn't you?" I said before narrowing my eyes, and he looked at me for a few seconds before shaking his head."For
Kathleen's POV I hadn't even thought we would face someone like that. I was afraid for a second, but we should be okay with it since everything turned in our favor,' Caris said, and I hummed before looking at the moon that was shining so brightly.Packing my stuff, making sure I don't leave any hint about my presence behind, I booked a cab before descending the stairs.I would have to walk for some distance as the cab will arrive at the borders of this village that is around 2 km away from here.Taking my belongings, I walked out of the hotel after clearing my bills and pulling down my hat to make sure no one suspects me of anything.As I was walking fast towards the border of the village, I squinted my brows when I saw a car passing by me.Wait. Isn't that Alexander's car? I thought, biting my lips.I know I keep pushing him away, but right now, I really wished he could drop me off at the border at least. Today's mission took a toll on me, and I was feeling too tired. Besides, as ex
Kathleen's POV"Don't worry. Everything will be alright," I heard Alexander speak as he placed his hand on top of mine, and I looked at him, waiting for his explanation, and he sighed."It's written all over your face. Something is bugging you, and you are quite worried about it, right?" Alexander said, and I hummed before smiling."It's nothing," I said before stepping down from the car once it stopped in front of the hotel I was living in."Are you worried about that prisoner? The prisoner because of whom you almost risked your life today? The one you were looking at as if she was someone important to you?" He asked, and I looked at him before sighing.He was too observant for his own good."Have a safe journey back," I said, not bothering to answer him as I nodded and turned around, my mind fixated on Lady Cera and her tortured body.I had never thought I would see the lady who had once made sure I was always taken care of like this. She was like my nanny, who used to care for me w
