Kayah’s Point of viewI dashed from the bed to the toilet just in time to hug the toilet bowl and gave all I had as my stomach rose in nausea. It heaved and spasmed, purging itself of the little I had ingested the previous night until there was nothing to give. Even then, my body rebelled and sought to expel its contents til finally, it stopped.Sweaty, exhausted I laid my head on the seat, my hand weakly reaching out to flush. Breathing heavily, I took a moment to gather myself, to let the misery of the morning fall behind me. It would be better after this, once the morning sickness subsided my numbness would reassert itself.With some effort, I pushed myself off the floor. After rinsing my mouth and giving my teeth a vigorous brush she trudged back into the room. To start the day with another morning ritual, convincing herself it would get better.I stumbled as I caught sight of the prim female weres sitting in the room's two chairs. Power radiated from them, raw, but contained so
Kayah’s Point of ViewOnce again I hid behind my hair, not ready to discuss what the moon Goddess wanted. Of all the changes that had intruded on me, being nicknamed as the daughter of the moon was the most frightening."I can understand her need to protect her children, I have the same need, as do all mothers." My mate's mother continued.Here we go, I thought to myself as I raised my head to meet the Luna's eyes, the brush off I had been waiting for. The high blood had been known to choose death for the maintenance of their pride. Lunar was going to destroy the packs but my conscience would be clear."As a mother, I have tried to lessen the burdens my children were born with. Many people do not realize the hardship that comes with being a child of the alpha blood." The Luna paused, her eyes pleading for understanding, freezing me to my spot. "Unlike you, Axel has been waiting for his mate. And now that you’re here. With what you have been through your mating will be difficult. A
Kayah’s Point of ViewTogether with Lisa and Sheila, we set our journey early in the morning. Lisa allowed me to ride on her back since she was larger than a horse. I often wonder if she has an Alpha blood or she was just larger than most she-wolves. The weather was harsh. It was snowing heavily as we climbed the tallest mountain. It wasn’t called a snow mountain if the snow blizzard was missing. There was almost zero visibility, but Lisa’s trained eyes knew the way. This place isn't normal. It was like the snow was concealing whoever was on the top of the mountain, away from prying eyes. We travelled for two days before finally reaching the top. There was a woman already waiting for us. The strange thing was that on the top of the mountain, it wasn’t even snowing. It was like normal weather and warm. I was expecting a white carpet of snow around but there weren’t any. “Welcome to Snow Mountain Peak. The car has been waiting for you, dear guests,” the woman greeted. Even though I w
Kayah's Point of View“I’ll take her from here, Roka,” Kiba said, smiling at me. “Let's get you settled into your room.”The place was like a maze, but I knew that in part it took so long because of the difficulty I had walking since the energy was still clinging on me.Once up the top, we passed an open living area like on the ground level, before passing a few doors I didn't have the energy to be curious about. Knowing exactly, I followed Kiba to a maze-like hallway. It was strange but I kept to myself.Without warning we reached a large oak door. "This is your room... I hope it is to your liking.”"Thank you, Kiba."Upon stepping inside I was overwhelmed... A haven of beauty unfolded before my vision. A king size bed was in the middle of the room, covered in white bedding and throw pillows against a beige feature wall. Two timber bedside tables were on either side of the bed, the lamps on each casting a dim light across the floor.Opposite the bed was an open door to an en-suite b
“How could you betray me!” A voice coming from the black puddle screamed in agony and in anger. I am your mother! I created you as a special wolf and gifted you an ability! How could you!“Enough mother, your wickedness knows no bounderies. Leave us alone. Don’t interfere with our life!”“No! Never! You shall all feel my wrath! Your betrayal has already carve into my vrry soul! Let’s see how long will you protect that girl. She’ll die before Fenrir could even do anything!” And with that, the black puddle vanished. The pool returned to its original colorless.Caspian sighed while I become confused because in my mind the thing that clouded my mind vanished. My wolf finally howl in joy. I felt some the shackle that restricking her vanished.“What happened,” I asked them, mainly Caspian.“You were under Lunar’s power. I supposed she already talk to you during your stay at Axel’s pack.” Caspian said.“She did. She said I was the child of the moon and that I’ll be safe within Axel pack bec
“Of course you wouldn’t know me. We’re twins. You were blessed and I was cursed. You were the one that our parents loved the most even though you disappeared one night and you know the worst part? I love Seven. He was supposed to be mine but then I learned that he only wants me because he thought I was the healer and you who pretend to be me had all his attention and he even got you pregnant. Everything you have should be mine.” She answered, hitting me right through my heart. I was hurt because I finally learned I have a sister but it turned out that she wanted me to die. But I wouldn’t want the monster to feel happy if I die.“Really? Did you ever think about what I went through? Or did you ever care to try and look for me? No. You wanted to be the one our parents loved. You knew I was in pain everyday and yet you envied me? You’re a pathetic sister. You sided the evil for a taste of power and here I thought you died it turned out you were using someone else's face. We’re even becau
When I looked at the woman sitting on the throne, she was a proud woman with menacing eyes, something I didn’t recognize when she first talked to me. Her shoulders were slender, filled with golds and gems that couldn’t be found in this world. Her aura oozed with power. She was too beautiful and if she was like me, alphas from all over the world would come and ask for her hand. I expected that she was a woman with a wisdom and a loving mother but she’s not.A judge with fur looked at the man in front of him, chained just like me. He was looking Caspian in familiarity with a sympathetic look. "Can you confirm that you were the old Caspian who the other Judge described?" He questioned. "Yes I am." He said."How would you describe your relationship with the Goddess?" He questioned again.Caspian's face showed a proud smile. "I had served her with all my heart. But I lost hope when she decided to start something that was long buried in our memories. I respected her, yes, but she’s no
“Remember, don’t you ever try to take this ring off of you. The master told us that it’ll help you conceal your power amd your wolf. Walk straight do not enter any pack or they’ll treat you a feral,” Kiba told me as she was bleeding u stop. Roka told me Sabrina attacked them with a claw laced with poison. As their master’s last request from them was to help me escape. Both of them were bleeding furiously. I wanted to help them but declined my offer. “Use your strength to go back to the Rogue King as soon as possible before they find you,” Roka told me. “Now hurry, leave us. The wolves might have smelled our blood. You need to leave before they arrive,” Kiba added. “Remember, do not come back to Axel’s pack. The only one who can save you is the Rogue King.” That was a few days ago. I’m not sure if they survive but I wish the enemies didn’t find them. I didn’t have any choice but to leave or I'd die and their sacrifice would be in vain. Even though I used to have a compa
The hospital room was too quiet. The only sound was the soft beeping of the machine beside me and the slow ticking of the clock on the wall. I couldn’t move much. My chest was still aching badly. Every breath felt like it might tear me open again.I lay still, watching the ceiling, trying not to think.Then I heard the door open.My hands tightened under the blanket as I smelled who it was. Axel. He walked in, pushing a cart of food. His footsteps were calm, too calm for my liking. I didn’t dare look at him right away. I stared at the wall instead. My heart was beating faster. I didn’t know if he was angry. I didn’t know if he was going to yell. Or worse.“You’re awake,” he said, his voice quiet but firm.I nodded a little. My throat felt dry.He moved the cart closer and uncovered the plates. Warm steam rose into the air. It smelled like soup and bread. I haven't eaten since... I couldn’t remember. But the sight of food didn’t comfort me.“You need to eat,” he said. “Your wound won’
The next few scenes were me being punched, kicked and slapped to almost make me pass out. My throat was already hurting due to the constant scream of vegging and leaving me alone. My chest started to bleed again and it stained the oversized white shirt Axel had given me. My screams were now replaced with loud sobs that made my lungs ache. I looked up in fear as the unknown man advanced towards me. He took a deep breath through his nose, and a wide smile spread across his face. Slowly, he walked towards me with deliberate and smooth steps. With each step he took, the malicious grin on his face got wider. I had scooted myself into a corner to try and escape his gaze and ferocity, and as he came to stand in front of me I tried pleading once more. "Please. I am begging you. Just leave me alone. You don't have to do this!" My words came out as sobs. "Shut up! You’re just a slave! You do not talk to me like that!" With another deep breath through his nose, he crouched down next to me a
I woke up to sunlight shining in my face, and the sound of a girl screaming. The sound was excruciatingly loud and sent chills up my spine. Above the screaming, I could hear Axel’s voice shouting. I couldn't make out the words, but he sounded furious and excited. The screaming continued for about another minute, until it slowly died down. The entire time this was happening, I sat cowering in the corner of my room, fearing I would be next to be screaming like that. But I made my decisions…to play safe..After what seemed like an eternity, I heard a door slam and footsteps coming my way. I cringed back in fear and huddled against the wall. The freshly stitched wounds on my chest reminded me of Axel’s brutality, and I didn't want to see what he was like when he was mad. My door was pushed open to reveal-of course- an infuriated Axel. He looked at my small frame huddled in the corner farthest from him, and smiled. I felt no comfort from his expression, only more fear. He stepped forward
I kept my head down and watched his feet as he approached me. Before I knew it, he was right next to me, lifting my chin upwards to look at his face. I tried to keep my eyes averted from his gaze and stop the tears that threatened to come again. "Look at me." His hot breath growled into my face.I slowly brought my eyes up to meet his. They were a deep, voidless black. This was the first good look I had gotten at his eyes and I hoped it would be my last. His black hair hung to the side with a few pieces escaping to fall on his forehead. A square jaw held light pink lips that always seemed to be smirking at me. His face was completely devoid of emotion, even though he was smirking. His eyes held nothing but emptiness and he looked at me as weak. It was terrifying being this close to him, and I could tell he knew I was uncomfortable. His hand grew tighter on my chin as I struggled desperately to free my head from his grip. I was beyond scared and wanted to be as far away from him as I
The envelope was brown. It doesn’t have a receiver or sender name.I should have felt it then, the warning, the poison in the air.Curious, I opened it anyway.The photograph slid out with a whisper.Seven’s face hit me first and beside him was a familiar face, too familiar, his arm wrapped around her. Hailey. The Moon Goddess. Her lips curved in a smirk so triumphant it made me sick.And between them was a baby. My baby.I staggered back a step, as if the floor itself had betrayed me. The little boy nestled in Hailey’s arms was unmistakable, the soft curl of his hair, the tiny birthmark on his cheek, a mark I knew because I had kissed it a thousand times. His smile, the one he used to give me, now aimed at her. At them. The baby I thought was kidnapped. My knees buckled.The pain wasn’t sharp. It was deep, an endless splitting inside my chest, like I was being hollowed out from the inside. Seven didn’t even look guilty. He looked proud. As if he belonged there, next to her, instead o
I awoke in my stall on the bed. Light was streaming through the small window high above me. The ferals outside were noisy and I could hear that they were tearing something apart. The sound was like squelching, like flesh tearing from bones or I don’t even want to know it. But because I was freaking curious, I stood up, despite the protest of my chest and looked at the small hole in my room. And there it was. A body was torn apart, the ferals were fighting, playing tag, trying to have a large portion.“So, who was it again?” I heard someone speak up. “The other man that the king found three weeks ago,” a man said. “Oh, the one who kept on resisting?”“Yes. Unfortunately, the king’s patience ran out and he fed him to his dog.”“Well, all of those who resist him always end up being fed to these beasts,” the other man replied, which scared me. Axel must have moved me from the floor to my bed and I was glad I was asleep for that. The pain of walking or being carried would have been uni
My mouth instantly began to water. He saw me staring at his hands and laughed aloud this time. "Oh, is my little mate? Hungry?" All I could do was nod intently. It had been days since I had anything to eat or drink, and the result of that was starting to weigh upon me."Well, why don't you come over to me and get it then?" Axel looked at me with danger in his eyes. He knew I refused, he’ll just going to do what he wanted and if I talk back, Fenrir will have mercy on me. Once I realized he was serious and the only way for me to get the piping hot bowl of newly cooked meat was to walk over to him, I almost screamed in frustration. He put me through it all, he tortured me and now I'm just supposed to walk it off?! Unbelievable. Despite what I thought though, he wasn't going to give me any food until I came over to him. I began to muster up all my strength and courage even if the thing on my chest hurts like hell. It didn’t dry up or at least close. In fact it went deeper in my flesh,
Jefferson led me back to my room. “I’m sorry,” I said, almost in a whisper.Jefferson halted and turned around to me. “Yeah, whatever. It’s too late,” he replied and assumed walking. “Just to let you know, Axel doesn't have plans on letting you live for too long. I shouldn’t tell you this but well, maybe I thought you deserve to know.”When we reached my room, he opened the door and I entered inside before.him slamming the door and locking it. Inside, I saw that the haystack was gone and replaced by a bed. I laid there for at least an hour. My eyes grew heavy and exhaustion threatened to overtake me, but I refused to fall asleep. I needed to get out of this torture house and back to my pack. How that would happen- I had no idea. I hoped beyond hope that Axel wouldn't be the one to come back and get me. If I saw him again I might pass out, just out of pure terror. He scared me beyond what I could handle right now, and I couldn't handle very much. With every second that went by I
Before I could process his change of mood, he had my wrists bound in silver handcuffs above my head. I hissed but I still tried to bring them down but a clink of metal and the sensation of being burned without fire prevented me from doing that. Axel had my arms chained above my head to where I was already tiptoeing. I could barely reach the floor. A smirk was now on his face as he stared at me, helpless. I let a whimper escape my lips as all courage drained from my body. Axel only smiled more at that, taking delight in my pain and fear. He now paraded around the room, making his way towards the hot coals in the fire pit. He then tossed more charcoal. “It seemed that you still didn’t know what you were here?” He looked at me expectedly to answer the question. Of course I knew. I knew because he already told me but I pretended I didn’t. “I didn’t.” I tried to lie and spit back at him, but my words only came out as a whimper. Axel laughed at that but didn’t reach his eyes. He step
