CHAPTER 16
Ora’s POV
It’s just been a couple of days since Sandy and Evaan left. But, it already feels like a part of me is missing.“Ora….Ora, when did start falling for strangers like this? Don’t you know that nothing good can come out of an association between a werewolf and a witch?” I chided myself as I changed and adjusted my hairstyle. Today was the thirteenth day after my sister’s death. Mother must have organised a formal ceremony to consecrate her remains. I knew she wouldn’t want me to attend it but I had to go.I was about to teleport right into my house but the sudden congestion in my heart made me lose focus. Moments later, I found myself in the midst of some ruins. The grass was charred and rubbles and chunks of the wall were littered as far as my eyes could see.What place was this? I sauntered around, trying to figure out the place I had accidentally teleported to. The trees on either side of the path had turRelated chapters

“Mother,” my voice came out as a trembling whisper. She didn’t even turn to look at me; her gaze fixed on the scene out of the window. My heart pounded against my ribs as I waited patiently for her to turn around and look at me.In the past, if I was patient enough, she would forsake her anger and talk to me again. But, not today. Today, she remained seated like a statue; ignoring my presence. I knew it was my fault but her indifference hurt deeper than her scolding. If she punished me; this intense guilt that was gnawing at my insides would probably fade.Rubbing my clammy palms on my trousers, I tried again, “Mother, are you alright?”Zap! I was hit with a strong surge of energy. I staggered with the impact and a gasp left my lips. Holding the pillar for support, I said in a pleading voice, “You have to give me a chance to explain, mother…. I didn’t do anything deliberately.”With a swoosh of her hand, she
Unbridled Mate CHAPTER 18
Ora’s POVI paced up and down the grassy meadow with restless anticipation. If Sandy had gotten the message, he should have been here by now. Did he see through my plan? Or did he just decide not to come? Hundreds of questions swirled in my mind as I continued to wear the ground. What would I do if he didn’t turn up? What will I say to Grand Magus?A frustrated grunt escaped my lips and I smacked my palm. Now that he was back with his friends and family, he probably didn’t care about me or my message. It was funny how this thought made my heart twist when all I wanted to do was make him pay for betraying me. I snorted and shook off any sense of attachment I felt for him.“Ora, is everything alright?” The moment I heard his voice, I spun around in delight. My lips lifted in an automatic smile and I took a step towards him. His beard had grown into a soft stubble and his eyes looked weary. But, he was as handsome as ever, and more alluring
Unbridled Mate CHAPTER 19
Ora’s POVI found Valence huffing in anger; pacing up and down like a hungry predator. She was so enraged that I could sense the fury even in her magical aura. Drawing in a deep breath, I stuttered, “Grand Magus, Valence. Are you alright?”My words didn’t bode well with her. She spun and glared at me. The next moment, I was hit by a strong wave of energy. I flew across the room and hit the wall so hard I heard my backbone cracking. After the numbness came the pain, intense, searing. It radiated all over my body causing me to scream. I tried to move but I couldn’t feel anything below my back.“Why can’t he just forget that b***h completely!?” Valence let out a primal grunt; energy radiated from her making the ground shake. Stones and rubbles started raining from the ceiling. At this rate, the entire cave would be destroyed.My eyes darted to the door beyond which Sandy was imprisoned; A wisp of my magic made its way
Unbridled Mate CHAPTER 20
Sandy’s POVI had never regretted meeting Ora. She was like a beacon of light that kept me from drowning in the darkness. I had faith that she would save me from this hellhole that tortured you on so many levels. God knows what kind of magic this cell possessed. It made me re-live all my nightmares again and again and I had quite a few of them.The nightmares would plague my mind until I couldn’t bear the agony and passed out. The silver chains burned me as I tossed and turned in an attempt to run away. My life had turned into a horror singularity that kept repeating again and again, endlessly. I kept waiting and waiting for how long I don’t know.Ora did come like a beam of light in the cell. I was naïve enough to think that she had come to save me. It was only when she pushed me in front of her Grand Magus that I snapped out of my delusion. She wasn’t here to calm me; was here to scorch me.Even now that she was raining blows on my

Ora’s POVThe moment I woke up, I teleported to valence’s house. My eyes drifted to the window hoping that the sun hadn’t risen yet. It hadn’t. My reflection caught in the window pane making me wince. My hair was messy, my clothes clung to me like a second layer, and my expression was ghastly. I looked like I had been tortured.“Ora! I almost thought you would be late on the most important day,” Valence’s voice sounded in the other room, making me jump out of my skin. I used my magic to straighten my clothes. Using my magic, I healed my external wounds as much as I could, trotting along the corridor. I still looked beaten but this had to do. Valence hated waiting more than anything else.“Grand Magus, I am sorry to keep you waiting,” I said, giving a curt bow. Thankfully, she was too preoccupied to notice.“Remember to feed the vines with spiritual energy every day. We need to perform the ritual six days
Unbridled Mate CHAPTER 22
Ora’s POVI needed Nivaan’s full name for the ritual to work. I don’t think Evaan ever told me his full name. Even if he did, I just couldn’t remember. I know I could have just asked Nivaan himself but I made this an excuse to go and visit Sandy. The truth was that I wanted to see if he was alright.“So? Why are you here this time? To torture me or is it to kill me,” Sandy taunted the moment, I walked into the cave. His gaze was condescending. So, he finally decided to blame me for everything.“What is Nivaan’s full name?”“Nivaan Lovelock….” He replied reflexively but then his face blanched. “Why exactly did you want his full name?”“Maybe I want to save him; maybe I want to kill him,” I shrugged. “It isn’t like you can do anything about it. So, why bother.”I was slammed against the wall the next moment with brute force. Sandy grabbed my

ORA’S POVAfter all the preparations were done, I sat down with my legs crossed and placed both my hands on his head, softly chanting the spell I had memorised. I didn’t know what to expect. Nobody I knew had tried something of this sort before.For a very long time, all I could feel was the damp, foggy wind in the cave; all I could hear was my erratic heartbeats and the soft blend of Nivaan’s even breathing with my uneven ones. The words, the ritual seemed to be having no effect at all.Weariness started creeping on me and for a moment I contemplated giving up on the ritual. But, then Evaan’s face flashed in my mind. Drawing in a deep breath, I started chanting the spell with renewed vigour.All of a sudden, like a flash of blinding light; all of NIvaan’s memories slammed into me. My head throbbed as they drowned me in their torrential cyclone. My memories started getting mixed with his creating a state of utter chaos.I remain
Unbridled Mate CHAPTER 24
Sandy’s POVOne moment of weakness and all my plans were turned into dust. I could have escaped. I could have been saving Evaan this very moment but no! I had to show my weakness at the nick of the moment. I had to spare her life. Now, I was stuck in this dark and dingy cave for God knows how long….After that day, Ora didn’t come to check on me. Every once in a while food and water would appear in my room; mostly while I was asleep. So, one day I pretended to sleep, laying in wait to catch Ora off guard.After what seemed like an eternity someone did appear in the room. I grabbed my dagger but stopped when I noticed that the woman was too tall to be Ora. There was no point in attacking her. Even if I managed to kill her, the magic of this place would keep me from escaping. A long, drawn sigh escaped my lips. I was never going to get another chance to escape.After about three days, two women clad in black robes appeared in the cave. They grabb
