AstridHe knew everything. He knew about me before bringing me into his pack. I should have known that. Soren Thornheart never brought anyone into his pack without a background check. And now, he needed a secret that has stayed for ages in Emberclaw Pack in exchange to get his forgiveness. How fucked was that? But right now, I had no other choice than to do it.I found a spot on the black bench at the corner in his office. I crossed my legs and wrapped my hands around me. He watched my every action. I'm sorry, mother. I shouldn't be telling this to strangers, but here I was.I let out a breath and looked ahead of me. What was he planning on doing with this information?“Come on?” I nodded. “It is a stone that has been in the pack for ages. A stone that holds powers and can destroy things if operated by the right person. It is…”“What do you mean operated by the right person?”My last sentence seemed to have pique his interest as he leaned into his desk, elbow on the flat surfac
I was right about the fact that I didn't bring people into my pack without a full background check on them. I had to know every single detail about you before bringing you into my pack. We have had a lot of damage for me to do that and one was the story of my great grandfather. Since then we were not allowed to bring strangers into the pack and if we had to, it should be someone we knew.I could have let her die back in the forest when my pack brogue knew about finding a helpless wolf in the forest. I had to see it for myself and when I did, I couldn't let her go. She was in a bad state and because I knew her and exactly what had happened in her pack, I had to take her in. And because she was in whatever relationship with Jarvis, I had to take her. My primary aim was to use her against Jarvis. I wanted to take whatever information I could from her about Jarvis but that didn't work as I let my feelings get in the way of my revenge. Darson, Ked and my parents knew all along. She though
Astrid.Jarvis! What was he doing here? How did he find me? Bile crawled up my stomach as I made my way outside. Soren was calling behind but I didn't stop to hear what he was saying or why he was calling me.This wasn't supposed to happen. Jarvis wasn't supposed to be here. Did he know how much I had struggled to keep my cover down that he thought he could just walk in here and demand to see me.“He is at the entrance.” Willa whispered next to me. I matched towards the entrance. I stopped in my tracks when I saw him leaning casually against a black car. A new car he must have acquired lately. He pushed himself and started towards me. But he didn't make it close when I felt a hand around me and I was suddenly behind Soren and him standing in front of me, his hands stretched out like he was protecting me from him.Jarvis stopped midway. His hands deep in his pockets. A small smirk crossed his face. I didn't know if that was aimed at me or Soren.“So…” his eyes roamed the area arou
Astrid It has been celebration after celebration. I haven't had a single rest in the past days. It has been almost four days since I was pronounced the championship winner and crowned the great warrior. I have been moving from pack to pack to meet and greet people. Soren had been with me all through it.Today, we were at the Silver Crest Pack to see their alpha. It was also the pack where all the greatest warriors in Veridian lived.I was asked to come see them so that we could get acquitted. It was a huge welcome. A lot of food and drinks. I met just about twenty of the warriors. I was told I would meet the others as time went on."It was really great to meet you, Astrid." Fenwa, one of the girls, waved at me as I entered the girls ' section. She was bright and welcoming, and I immediately took a liking to her."See you all soon. Hopefully, we get to work together as soon as possible."They all nodded. Soren started the car and we drove off."What would you like to eat so that
ASTRIDIf nervousness was a person then it had been me. I have competed in two games and won and this shouldn’t be anything to me, but I was nervous. I didn’t know who I was competing with and what awaited me in the battle field. This was my last round. The round was the winner would be pronounced the warrior of viridian. I wanted this, but I didn’t know what awaited me. I could either loose or win. “You have been doing this and I’m pretty sure that you will make it. We are all proud of you, Astrid. You will get this right just like always.” My hands moved to my temple as I wipe some beat of sweat already forming up there.“We are ready to leave.” One of the men that were sent to check me out came into the room. Soren was here. He had leave for some urgent pack matter. He promised he had been here before I go into the ring, but he wasn’t here. What was taking him so long? Why was he wasting so much time? I needed words of encouragement from him, but he wasn’t here. And I couldn’t mind
Soren.She was finally getting there. To think I had my doubts about her making it to the second round, but she proved me wrong. I had no idea she was this strong. Funniest, she was using fighting techniques not given to her by either Darson or Jarith.I took notice of that, the day I accompanied Facklor. She had taken down Jarith within a heartbeat. It didn't end there. She took out the girls in the pack and then some of the strongest fighters in Veridian. I was happy for her win, but then it got me thinking about who she truly was. She seemed to have someone who had been fighting all her life.I decided to keep all of that aside. She had one more training session before she could finally be crowned the big thing in Veridian. One who is the strongest and stands above everyone else. She will be respected and honored, and I am happy about that.I had told her I liked her. I didn't know if she did the same for me. But from the way we had been together, I knew she was feeling the sa
