LOGINLandon’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
“Is it just me or are you getting more and more beautiful.” Harold teased as he joined us. I shook my head, my lips stretching. “We take good care of her.” Leo chimed in, “Of course she is going to look beautiful.”“It’s not like you buy me beauty products.”“But we are fattening you up. See, I always order for the best thing available in the menu for you.”“That’s right. You look plump too.” Harold added and I rolled my eyes. “So are you saying I’m getting more beautiful or I’m getting fatter?”Leo and Harold went quiet, not daring to answer. “Did you hear, Marcus is hosting a get together with a few selected people. Close friends I hear.” Harold told us. I frowned, as Leo and I exchanged a look “I didn’t hear that.”“The invitations will arrive soon.” Harold said and I realized he was usually the first to know what was happening in the ship. “I was thinking since you and Landon are no longer a thing at the moment, how about you go with me?”“No way.” Leo blocked him from view,
I quickly retraced my steps back. If they were searching every room then I had to be in my room right now. They had to find me there, else I’d be a suspect.But how do I go back? This attendant’s uniform was definitely going to give me away the moment I stepped in there. I needed to think. Do some
I entered the prison room, noticing about seven cells, with three of them occupied. There was a middle aged couple in one, staring at me curiously and in the other, there was a young girl in red, with brown curly hair, resting her head on the wall with her eyes closed like she’d given up on life.
Brielle kept to her word. She arrived an hour later with information and a black attendant outfit she claimed would help me blend in and not look suspicious. She also brought a scent masking oil. I didn’t know that was a thing. It made things easier for me though. I dressed up quickly in the atten
Emergency. That was what he said. Kain could leave this place if there was an emergency at his pack and that was where I needed to start from. I didn’t have the slightest clue about his pack except that it was one of the most powerful. And with Brielle refusing to help me—Speak about the Devil an
