Caleb now aimed his arrow at the flying beast again, his fingers pulling on the string but because the beast was high up in the sky, he couldn’t get a good shot. He released rhe arrow but it missed it again. He hissed and tried to shoot another one, but it missed the beast. He shot again and missed. That was already three arrows gone, and still, they didn’t meet the beast. It was still flying high above us, just circling slowly, its wings spreading wide as it screeched. Caleb was clearly getting frustrated, but the beast also wasn’t helping him at all. It didn’t come down lower and it stayed right where it was, as if it knew what Caleb was trying to do.I looked at Caleb’s hands and counted how many arrows he had left. One… two… three. Only three arrows left.I smiled a little to myself, that’s very good. I didn’t feel bad about it at all. He had wasted most of his arrows on us the first time and now he was wasting again trying to hit something that wasn’t even attacking us. Now
Seraya’s POV“You can’t kill that beast! It’s not dangerous!” I shouted as loud as I could over the wind and noise but Caleb wasn’t even looking at me. His full focus was on the beast, his bow raised and ready to shoot at it and I could see it in his eyes that he was going to shoot no matter what I said.“You can’t attack the beast!” I yelled again, louder this time. “It hasn’t done anything to us! It’s not a threat!”“Shut the hell up!” Caleb snapped back, sounding very angry m. He took a few steps toward me, his eyes wide and wild. I felt fear shoot through my chest as he stalked towards me, but the warriors still stayed close around me, standing and keeping him away.He laughed a little and pointed at me, yelling, “Who do you think you are? You think you can tell me what’s dangerous and what’s not? Are you blind or just stupid?! That thing up there is a monster! And monsters don’t get to live! They don’t when all they also do is to kill!”I stood my ground with my fists clenche
Seraya’s POVThe same terrible screech filled the air again and it felt like it was tearing through my ears. Everyone around me winced, some even groaned, and I had to press my hands over my ears to try and block it out. It didn’t help much because the sound still cut into my head. It was that bad.I looked at the warriors. They were all still in their fighting stance, ready to attack at any second but even with their strong positions, I could still see the fear in their eyes. Every one of them was scared and honestly, I was too. There’s no one that wouldn’t feel fear from what they were seeing right now. I had no idea what we were up against yet. I had never heard a sound like that before, and I didn’t even know where it was coming from but was also ready to fight even when I didn’t know what I was doing and it wasn’t even like I could fight but I couldn’t let fear stop me. We all felt a sudden whoosh of air, like something big had just moved above us and we lifted our heads qui
“Kaden, calm down. Don’t say or do anything.” I said, placing my hand on his. He didn’t say anything, he didn’t even look at me but I saw his jaw clench even tighter.Caleb laughed loudly. “Oh, how sweet,” he said, smirking. “Your little Luna is begging you not to fight. Isn’t that cute?”I wanted to slap him so badly but instead, I stepped in front of Kaden, standing between him and Caleb. Caleb needed to shut up. If I let him say one more word, Kaden was going to snap and attack him right there. I could already feel the heat coming off Kaden’s body. His wolf was close, way too close to the surface and once he lost control, it would be over.“What do we have here?” Caleb said with a wicked smile, looking me up and down and that disgusting smirk made me want to slap him across the face again.I glared up at him and crossed my arms. “There will be a date picked soon for the challenge,” I said clearly, loud enough for both of them to hear. “And if you’re really worthy of the alpha ti
Seraya’s POVI hated Caleb. I hated everything about him. I hated the way he spoke, like he was better than everyone. I hated the way he looked at me like I was nothing and the way he was staring at me right now made my whole body feel like it was on fire from pure anger that I was feeling. .If I could, I would rip his eyes out of his head and force him to eat them. I know that sounds horrible but that’s just how much I hated him. I had never felt this much hate for anyone in my life.He wanted to become Alpha so badly, too badly and I could see it in his eyes, his voice and in the way he acted. He didn’t care who got hurt and he didn’t care who died. He just wanted power and he would do anything and anything to get it even if it meant killing his own people and even if it meant killing Kaden and myself included. Earlier, when I told Kaden that someone was following us, I was scared and worried who it might be and I didn’t expect it to be Caleb. I never also thought he’d be hidi
Kaden’s POV Caleb started speaking again, his voice full of fake sadness and his face twisted like he was pretending to cry.“Do you even know what’s making me so annoyed right now?” he asked, placing a hand over his chest to show that his heart was broken. “It’s not because you yelled at me but it’s the fact that you actually thought it was okay to go into the woods with the other warriors but without me.”He shook his head slowly, his mouth turning down like a child who was scolded for doing something wrong. “Do you know how much that hurt me, Kaden?” he said in a dramatic painful voice. “Do you even understand how sad I felt when I found out that you left me behind? That you didn’t think I was important enough to go with you and the others?”He sniffed like he was about to cry, then suddenly smiled again. “I mean, come on. Why didn’t you tell me something like, ‘Oh Caleb, we need your help this morning. Please join us to check the woods because we might find something.’”“But no
