LOGINNara’s pov. When I opened my eyes again, the chaos around me made me want to bang my aching head into a wall. The mechanic sound of an engine filled the whole space and it was so fucking hot, I could feel my skin peeling off. My vision cleared slowly, and as I sat up, I caught sight of the several tubes and pipes surrounding me.Where was I?I think I already knew the answer to that question but I just wouldn’t believe it until my thoughts were clearer and I almost fell when I thought for a moment that I had the luxury to move. I was high up, in a cramped space where the only solid thing under me were the several connected pipes I sat on. One wrong move and I’d fall to my doom.This was the engine room. The same place I hid Melody except this time, it was way hotter than I imagined.Sweat rolled off my skin as if I’d just taken a bath. I was about to tear off my shirt when I remembered I’d been kidnapped.That was right. I had been drugged, and the last thing I remembered was Harol
Landon’s POV.“Nara was here?” Alarm bells rang in my head when Ivy told me that. “It seems she was invited to the party as well. She was asking me about a dress, wondering if you sent it.”My eyes turned cold immediately, filled with suspicion. I could sense something was wrong. This party was thrown at the culprit’s request. Nara has no reason to be here so if she was, it could only mean one thing. I tried to control the race of my heart as my eyes searched around for one person. Marcus. I found him clinking glasses with a four eyed man and glanced at Ivy.“Find her.” I ordered, “And when you do, make sure she doesn’t leave your sight.”“Understood.”I hurried over to Marcus, and the moment he spotted me, the smile disappeared slowly from his face. “We need to talk.” It wasn’t a question but a command. Marcus stared at me and for a moment, it seemed like he was going to refuse but a smug smirk covered his lips and he asked me to lead the way. Nara was not here. I already scann
Marcus stepped closer to me, wearing a delighted grin as he stared at me lustfully. His eyes raked down my body then he caught my gaze again and said, “Consider it a favor to a former friend.”“A favour.” I frowned, “Who is it?”“Be patient, Nara. I’m sure you’ll find out soon.”I stepped in front of him to block his way. “If you’re helping him, you can as well help him to the end. What can a girl like me do anyway?” I stepped closer to him and added in a whisper, “A weak human girl. All I seek is the truth.”“Then the truth will come to you.” He grinned again, “Nara, they say curiously kills the cat so I’m going to have to make you patient for this one.”I scoffed, “This must be fun to you.”“Entertainment like this is hard to come by.”“Entertainment?” I cocked a brow, looking at him like he was unbelievable. “Whoever the culprit is, murdered an innocent girl. He is worse than an animal. He’s a fucking coward and you protecting him makes you one as well.”Marcus’s eyes flashed with
With how constantly I have had to jump from my balcony to Landon’s balcony, my body had become used to the movement. As usual, his door wa unlocked, almost as if he’d left it open for me to invade his room whenever I wanted. The moment I slid the door open though, the person inside jumped in fright. I saw Ivy looking back at me with alarm. When she saw it was just me, whe tried to be calm, holding her chest. “Why didn’t you make any sound?”“Don’t tell me you thought it was an assassin.” I teased but Ivy’s expression only grew serious.My body tensed and I pinned her with a look. “You were really expecting an Assassin?”Ivy shifted on her feet and told me. “We are well prepared this time. There’s nothing to worry about.”“Tell me what is going on.” I demanded, “Landon is in danger. I deserve to know what he has planned out.”“As what? His friend? His mate?” She whirled around to face me, “You already told him you can’t be with him and that’s already making him suffer but he is willi
“Nara, are you okay?” Leo asked me when he found me again, holding all the snacks we bought that we were going to take to Emily. “You look pale.” He added and I touched my warm face. I was anxious. “I’m fine.” I lied and Leo looked at me like he didn’t believe me but that was the least I could be worried about right now.The way Dina spoke, I couldn’t get it out of my mind. It didn’t entirely feel like she was giving me that warning so I wouldn’t get in Landon’s way. It was almost like she feared for my life.It was a laughable thought. Dina obviously hated me. She would’ve announced I was human to everyone if she didn’t think she could make me suffer a more terrible fate.That was what she said. But what if it was a bluff because she couldn’t imagine showing me any kindness?I mean, your enemies definitely won’t give you heads up if they see you’re about to be attacked. But Dina did, even though it was in a round about way. There was something more and I have to find out what it is
I wondered what it was I have been doing wrong. First it was Gavin, then Marcus and now Dina. How did she know I was human?At this point, I couldn’t utter another word and Dina looked at me smugly, “So are you coming with me or not?”I swallowed hard. My pride, my stubbornness and I followed her to an empty corner.“H-how did you know?” I asked. She and Emily were close. Could it be that Emily told her?“Uncle looked into you and he found out you’re not from the pack you claim to be from.”I thought about my last conversation with Landon’s uncle. At the time, I didn’t believe he suspected me so I thought it there was no cause ro worry. “I couldn’t understand why you would need to fake your identity but when I heard how you passed out when the red root was sprayed after the humans attack and how Landon protected you then the rumors flying around that time, I figured it out. It all began to make sense to me.” Her lips stretched into a bitter smile. “They are all helping you, aren’t t
Kain got to the spot i pointed to and circled over it. It was a pole with a flag on it stretching out from deep under the water. The ride was nerve wracking. I didn’t realize how afraid of water I was until I was finally on this boat. I was holding on to Kain so tight that I thought I might tear o
A knock sounded on the door and I frowned.“It’s me.” I heard Landon’s voice and finally felt relieved before I moved to open the door. I was so on edge already. Landon walked inside.“What are you doing there. You should go back to your—“He claimed my lips hungrily, his hands gonging around my
“Can you watch where you’re going?” She snapped and I shrugged my shoulders.“My fault.” I plastered a fake smile on my face. “But you don’t have to be so rude. You also weren’t watching your front.”Emily paused, frowning at me before she leaned forward and whispered, “I’d never apologize to your
I swallowed hard, staring at him. “What do you want?”“Why did you run from me?” He asked, his voice deep and very close. Too close.I scoffed. “Why would I run from you?”“You tell me.”“I simply wanted to use the restroom.” I lied.“You ran here like something was chasing you.”“And maybe I was r
