Chapter 17: An Ally “I am Rylan,” he introduced himself and offered his hand for a shake hand."I need the information, why I can’t talk feel my wolf and how to bring her back. Not your name." He took his hand back and stood up. I watched him walked around and check every inch of my house, he even opened every door he found."I came her for the head of that man." He said and open my pantry, good thing he didn’t touched any of it. He went to the dining table and got some green apples."Can you get back here and tell me about what I want. I don’t care what are you here for.""Fixed your attitude, " he even pointed me but I only glared at him. "You fix your behavior, you’re in my territory." "I have a preposition-""-I am not interested." I cut him off instantly. "We can work together to bring him down." I stared at him and smiled then I shook my head."I can bring him down alone." But his lips stretched slowly into smile too. "That is not what I saw back there
Chapter 18: Mini RevengeI felt my shoulder shaking so I opened my eyes, but then I closed them again and cringed my forehead. “Get out.” “I was calling you.” His voice had been very irritating and I hope he knew. “You have the right to call me? I am not your genie.” And I pulled my blanket up to cover my face.“You slept all day and it’s getting dark, isn’t this the right time for some warning?” He said and I opened my eyes. I took to blanket off and saw him, he had a plan, doesn’t he?“You forgot about my wolf, she’s mourning.”“But you’re not and why don’t you avenge your wolf?” Tempting but I would not jump into a pack of wolves in my human form.“I can’t shift.”“But you’re a witch.”“Can my craft make me run fast if we mess up?”“That’s why you have me.” He placed his hand on his waist which means he was tired of this argument but would not let this go. I couldn’t trust him, what if he’d left me there alone?“I didn’t know you are this coward.” And he turned his bac
Chapter 19: His Pity“Step back,” I ordered him to step back since he was too closed. A wicked smile crept on his lips and he stepped closer, and even bend to level my face. I restrained myself from reacting until his nose touched mine. “Does my presence bother you?” He whispered mockingly. “Do you think you’re presence is more powerful than an Alpha?” I asked back. His smile hadn’t left his lips and nodded yet unconvinced. “You know what, I realized that you can stay here since you don’t have a house.” That was when his smile dropped. “No, let’s go. Someone’s coming.” He said and pulled me out of the cave but I pulled him back. “Wait,” I pulled my hand and search for some cloth to wrap the bow and arrow. I saw my leather clothes before and wrapped that bow. “Leave those here. You are not using those.” Who did he think he was ordering? “This is helpful against the wolves.” I persisted.“Yeah, against us.” “Well, be good so I would not b using this on you.” I successf
Chapter 20: Deals and PlansMy eyes widen and I looked at him. “Can you see how high this is?” “Yeah,” he held my left hand and looked down at the water. “You know what you are missing? You take a risk unwillingly and you miss the fun part of being afraid, the adrenaline and the thrill. You weren’t willing, you had no choice and after that, you blame everything around you and mostly yourself.”He was looking straight at my eyes, I didn’t get it. What was the fun of being scared? I know what are the things I hate and I don’t want to happen.“Will you jump with me?” He was asking me ad if it was nothing a big deal. “I can’t swim.” “Will you risk with me?” He asked and he wasn’t taking his eyes off me. “Okay,” I answered, I felt like bewitched when I was the witch here. When he nodded, I knew that I would regret that decision. “Ready?” “Wait-” he jumped before I could finish my words. “Ahhh!” I instantly clutch everything I could hold. I wrapped my arms around his neck and
Chapter 21: Plan AHe walked to the door and opened it, I failed to hear a few words of gratitude. I decide to make cook for lunch for us and I would do it manually because I felt weak after making it. My head hurt a little so I drank water. I used too much magic today. “Are you okay?” “Do I look unwell?” I said and started cutting the vegetables. “Yeah, your lips turned pale.” “Well, I think because the water was too cold.” Even though I did really feel weak. “You’re bleeding.” I looked at my fingers, I didn’t cut my fingers yet so I looked at him. “From your nose.” I thought he was joking so I checked using my finger. I lost words when I saw a red liquid on my finger. I exert too much magic and this was only a side effect. I turned to him but I stepped back seeing him too closely. He wiped my finger and then my nose. It took me minutes to realize what he was doing.“You overuse your magic.” He said which made me look away. Why did he care? “Yeah, it’s the side effe
Chapter 22: TriggeredI froze when I heard him speak, I thought he wasn’t talking about me, and even thought of hiding behind the tree. He turned to me before I could even move. I rolled my eyes with my stupidity. I walked to him and sat next to him. “I’m sorry, I am being nosy, I know. I only wanted to comfort you, I know the feeling of missing someone and losing someone. I understand, let it out, and I will listen.” I could feel his strong gaze so I faced him. “I’ve moved on.” “I’m not buying it,” his lips stretched into a smile. “It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about yourself. I can accompany you so you would not feel alone.” “Really?” “Yeah.”“Did you love him?” He suddenly asked, I didn’t see it coming and it got me thinking. “I don’t think so, he pushed me to the cliff after seeing my face for the first time.” I couldn’t help to laugh at my unfortunate life. “Why would he do that?”“I met him that night and on the same night my so-called father learned abo
Chapter 23: MarkedMy mind went blank hearing it, I stared at his face until I fully got what he meant. “What?” “If I will mark you, he’ll surely feel it. He triggered you, then we’ll trigger him.” He suggested while I unconsciously touched my neck. “I’m sorry, I know it wasn’t that simple. I was just desperate, I think. I understand if you won’t agree with it.” He said and stood up. I didn’t dare to speak until he was out of sight. I dropped my spoon, I couldn’t bring my appetite back anymore. I couldn’t explain what I was feeling. If I would let him mark me, what will my second chance mate feel about it? Yet the idea was still good if he was telling the truth. I drank water and looked at my hand. I need to regain my strength back, enough problems for now. I crawled to my old bed here and pulled the blanket to cover me. I thought closing my eyes would make me feel better and I could rest but I saw his face. He was taking care of me. He brought me here and made sure I was
Chapter 24: Bloody Night I stealthily walked behind the tree, we didn’t get into his pack village. They were out for hunting I think, we saw them lurking around near the cave. I climbed on a tree to have a good spot to shoot them. I was far enough that they couldn’t smell me. I gently pulled the string and aim the one next to Dion. I released it and saw how they gather around him to protect him. I smiled and drew on my lips as he howl in anger. I looked down and saw Rylan down there looking in the same direction I was looking at. I didn’t waste time and released another arrow. I shoot his beta, then his gamma. I need to bring his pack down and I would do it one by one. I immediately jumped down before anyone could see me. Good thing Rylan was fast enough to catch me and shifted. We run in the other direction to his village. I was to give them a little surprise while their stupid Alpha was out. “Three dead bodies is enough for tonight, four would be better, and more than th
