The female glanced at me once more, her eyes darting towards the open space behind her. I knew that look and I could tell that she was about to run but before she could take a step, Moses appeared behind her, blocking her path completely.The moment she saw him, she let out a loud scream, the kind that could bring unwanted attention if anyone was close enough to hear. Moses moved towards her quickly, probably to grab her and keep her quiet, but she swung the stick in her hands at him with all her strength and Moses had to step back fast to avoid getting hit. I noticed the way he moved carefully around her. He wasn’t trying to fight her back.Her grip on the stick tightened and her whole body was trembling. She swung the stick at him again, forcing him to step back once more, his jaw tightening in frustration. He could have easily disarmed her if he wanted to but he didn’t.I wasn’t enjoying the back and forth between the both of them and we needed to let her know who’s in control. I
Kaden’s POV “What was a female wolf doing locked up in this place? And not just any wolf, she was also a rogue and that also explained why she didn’t listen to my Alpha’s command earlier. Rogues don’t submit to Alpha orders if they weren’t a member of the pack, so it made sense. Still, the sight of her here, in this strange house in the middle of the woods, didn’t make sense at all.I took a slow step towards her, my eyes on her face, trying to read her expression. The moment I moved, she immediately pressed herself further into the corner of the wall, her back against it like she was trying to disappear into it. She whimpered softly, her eyes wide and full of fear.Did she really think I was going to hurt her? Why would I harm an unarmed, harmless female? Yes, she was a rogue, but that alone wasn’t enough reason for me to attack or kill her. If she had done nothing wrong to me or my pack, then I had no reason to harm her.Her voice was trembling as she spoke, the words tumbling out
Kaden’s POVWe moved slowly through the trees, trying to make sure we were quiet because we didn’t know if anyone was inside the building or not.. My mind was alert, scanning the surroundings, but my thoughts kept going back to what Moses had told me earlier.He had already confirmed that Caleb was still inside the pack grounds and that gave us some time. I had ordered two of my men to keep watch over him and have them strict instructions that if they saw Caleb about to leave the grounds, they were to mind link me immediately. The last thing I wanted was Caleb meeting us here. Finally, after a short walk through the small bush, the building came into sight and looking at it upclose, it didn’t look like an old building, meaning that it was just built. How did it happen without me When we reached the front, I saw that the door was locked with strong iron bars. I gave a small nod, and two of my men stepped forward to try to break it but the second their hands touched the metal, they b
Kaden’s POVI couldn’t help the small smile that tugged at my lips as the memory of Seraya kissing me played in my mind for what felt like the hundredth time. It had caught me completely off guard and I wouldn’t lie that I was still in shock. One moment I was sure she wanted nothing to do with me, the next, her lips were on mine.I had always thought she truly hated me. She made it clear in her words and in the way she looked at me that she didn’t want to be near me. But now? I wasn’t so sure anymore. If she really hated me, then why would she kiss me? People don’t kiss those they despise, right? They even try to not be in close proximity with them. My thoughts were everywhere as I tried to understand what might have changed and I thought that maybe she didn’t hate me as much as I thought and maybe there was still a small part of her that still liked me or if it was something else entirely. I didn’t know but I wanted to have answers to my questions. But whether she meant it or not
Tessy rushed over the second she realized I was struggling. She grabbed my arm and started pulling it too, trying to help me get free from my mum’s grip, but it wasn’t working.We both pulled as hard as we could, but my mum’s fingers were like iron. Her thin, bony hands didn’t look strong, yet they held me in place and prevented me from moving.Her body kept shaking over and over again in an unnatural way. Her head twitched to the side as she mumbled words under her breath, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying. It sounded like another language, or maybe just nonsense.“This is why I told you not to come here!” Tessy cried out, her voice shaking with panic. She was pulling even harder now, but then she stopped when she saw something.I followed her eyes to what she was looking at and saw it too. There was blood on my hands. My mum’s nails had dug so deep into my skin that blood was running down my wrist.“Oh my god, you’re bleeding,” Tessy gasped. “What are we going to do? This
Hello!” I called out as I pushed the door open a little wider.“Oh no… you’re not supposed to say hello!” Tessy hissed at me trying so hard not to shout. She put her hand over her face like she couldn’t believe me. “You’re not supposed to announce you’re here. You’re not even supposed to be here. And now you’ve just made it worse by telling whoever might be here that we’re here too!”“You have a point,” I said with a shrug. I wasn’t really in the mood to argue with her, but I still talked, “At the same time, if there’s anyone inside, isn’t it better for them to know we’re not here to hurt them? What if we tiptoed in and they attacked us because they thought we were dangerous? This way, they know we mean no harm. Besides…” I paused to listen, “…no one answered, so that means no one’s here.”Tessy gave me a glare. “In movies, do you ever see people get an answer back when they yell hello in a creepy place?”I gave her a half-smile. “Well, we’re not in a movie… or are we?”“Seraya…” she
