Cyrus POV:
I shall now continue to lay my eyes on the nothingness of this earth.
Nothing is my favorite color, I love all shades of it, pitch darkness, where I can see nothing. I prefer to listen.
The world may be shrouded in darkness, but my senses are heightened. I can hear the rustling of the trees, the scurrying of small animals, and the distant howls of my pack. But there is something else, a faint sound that doesn't belong. It's a whisper, a melody, a calling. I close my eyes and focus, allowing the melody to guide me deeper into the forest.
I smell something. My wolf smells it too, something different. Something I have never smelled before, there was something, it was far but it was near at the same time
The scent is intoxicating, a mixture of lavender and honey, with a hint of something wild and untamed. It stirs something deep within me, a longing, a need. My wolf growls in agreement, urging me to follow the scent.
I move swiftly through the trees, the scent growing stronger with each step. My heart races in anticipation as I emerge into a clearing, I see her. A girl, from afar, standing in front of me with her body positioned to face me from behind, I saw her from behind only. She had hair that cascaded past her back like a waterfall of pure white silk, shimmering like the sunlight with an ethereal glow.
I walk towards her "Who are you?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.
She does not respond, she begins to run, like she was being chased, I would never chase anyone, if I walked, I’d still be faster than them, and appear before them like a dream but this was different, she looked like she was running from something, her heart was panting, I heard it like I put my ears on her chest. I couldn’t see her from the front, I only walked slowly as I followed her, she’s terrified. I could feel it. What made her so scared? Not like I care to know but something within me sparks interest.
As I try to take another step towards her, she fades away.
She fades away. Why did she fade away, who was she and was this finally over?
All this was happening in my vision. I have visions only on rare occasions. I was born like this. The moon goddess cursed me with this. Most think it's a blessing. I don't blame them. They have not seen their parents die in a vision and I wasn’t able to do anything about it in reality.
When the visions come, I fear. They are the only thing that makes me afraid, nothing else does.
The vision fades, leaving me standing alone in my dark room. I sigh, frustrated with my inability to change the visions I see. They are more of a curse than a blessing, a constant reminder of the pain and suffering I was born to feel.
But then, the scent returns, stronger than before.
In reality, I can hear her heartbeat. I know it’s hers because I heard the exact beat pattern in that vision.
“Help me” she says weakly.
This came as a shock to me, only a few people have ever been able to telepath with me, my late parents, my beta, my omega and my late wife Evara.
“Help me” her voice said again, cutting my thoughts off.
Baelakis POVA week has passed and the only thing I’ve been given is water. My husky voiced tormentor says it’s to keep me alive but keep me weak. It worked, I definitely couldn’t feel my legs as I laid facing these wooden floors.As the days passed by, I felt my strength dwindling, my muscles aching for something other than water to sustain me. The stench of the wooden floors mingled with the salty sea air, making my stomach churn. The occasional creak of the ship's timbers and the rush of the waves beneath the hull were the only sounds that broke through the silence of my prison.I could barely keep my eyes open, the light that peeked through the small porthole in the cell only adding to my misery.The rocking of the ship intensified as the waves grew more tumultuous, signaling that land was not far off. My mind raced with possibilities, the escape plan solidifying with each passing minute.As the sun began to set, casting a fiery glow across the ocean, I heard a commotion above dec
As we made our way up the stairs to the upper deck, the sounds of the crew grew louder. They were coming, and we had to move faster.I heard a silent whimper somewhere in the dark corner.I searched with my eyes carefully to make out a figure weak on the floor. I’m glad I didn’t rush out, I would have left someone behind.I walked slowly to her and picked her up, “Ju..st let m…e go, I’ll drag you girls back. You girls have to run fast, leave me alone and r…un” the dry voice said.I recognized that voice as clear as I could tell water from acid. She was the first girl who spoke to me the first time I was brought into the ship.“I won’t let you go, you are coming with us” I said as I picked her up. She was really light, it was obvious that she hadn’t had enough food,how long had she been here? Her skinny bones could pierce me.As I held her fragile form in my arms, a surge of determination welled up inside me. I couldn't leave her behind to suffer alone in the darkness any longer. With
The crew had spotted us, and they were hot on our heels. Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I broke into a run, the other girls following close behind.At this point I carried the dry voice girl as I have come to describe her due to the absence of her name on my back, she was close to weightless anyway.We followed the purple haired girl as she ran."This way!" the purple-haired girl yelled, her voice frantic.We rounded a corner, the lifeboat now in sight. A burst of hope surged through me, but it was quickly extinguished as the sound of a gunshot rang out. One of the crew members had taken aim, the bullet lodging itself into the wood just inches from my head."They're shooting at us!" I cried, my body tensing. "Keep moving!"We raced towards the lifeboat, ignoring the bullets whizzing past us.We got into the boat, bullets flew around like flies.Thank God the boat was a big one, before another, the boat was full. There were five girls remaining.“We have to carry each other so
Behind me, I could hear the shouts of the men, their footsteps pounding through the forest like thunder. I knew they were gaining ground, their numbers overwhelming us."Arghh!" I heard a cry from the darkness, the voice of the purple-haired girl. I turned to see her stumble and fall, her face twisted in pain.I stopped right in my tracks, I ran back to her and helped her up.“I need to stick by your side, please” she begged. I looked at her and the wounded girl by her side.“Stay close. What is your name?” I asked the purple haired girl.“Devina” she responded.We continued running.“You can’t run away from me.” His eerie voice said into the voice amplifier. “Just come back”.At this point, I could see none of the other girls in sight, I could only pray that wherever they ran to, they were safe.Gun shots again as we continued to run.As we ran, our breaths heavy and hearts pounding, the sounds of gunfire echoing in the distance, Devina's grip tightened on my hand. Her purple hair st
For the past ten hours, I had ignored her cry for help but her heartbeat was faster now, it only means something bad is about to happen to her. I feel my wolf, he wants to help her, he is curious but I’m not. I’m going to sit on my bed in this dark room and block that voice.I try to block out the voice in my head, to push aside the insistent plea for help. But it's no use. My wolf stirs within me, his instinct to protect and defend surging to the surface."Fine," I mutter, my voice echoing in the emptiness of the dark room. I don't know why I'm doing this, why I'm allowing myself to be drawn into the chaos of another's life. But something about this girl, this mysterious figure cloaked in darkness, compels me to act.“Follow me” I command my Beta through telepathy.“Always, my Alpha” he responds.With a growl, I shift into my wolf form and bound out of the room, following the scent and the sound of her heartbeat. The forest rushes by in a blur as I race towards the unknown, towards a
Baelakis point of view. I woke to the soft rustle of silk against my skin, my eyelids fluttering open to reveal the opulent surroundings of the room. The first thing that struck me was the sheer size of it all – the vast expanse of space, the towering ceilings adorned with intricate chandeliers casting a warm, golden glow across the room.As I sat up, the luxurious sheets pooled at my waist, revealing the plush comfort of the bed beneath me. The mattress seemed to cradle me in its embrace, a welcome respite from the trials of the night before.My gaze wandered across the room, taking in the lavish furnishings that adorned every corner. Ornate tapestries adorned the walls, depicting scenes of ancient battles and heroic deeds. Intricately carved wooden furniture dotted the room, each piece a testament to the wealth and power of its owner.The air was suffused with the rich scent of sandalwood and incense, adding to the sense of luxury that surrounded me. Sunlight filtered through the sh
Stephen's point of view. From the very first night I saw her almost lifeless in the forest, I couldn't believe my eyes. She looked exactly like Evara. The only difference was the color of her hair. It was as white as snow but Evara had pitch black hair.As I stood there, taking in her features, I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of déjà vu. It was like looking at a ghost, a reminder of the past that I thought I had long since buried. Evara had been gone for so long, but seeing this girl brought back all those memories and emotions I had thought were long forgotten.I knew I had to help her, not just because she was in danger, but because she reminded me of Evara. And so, with Cyrus's help, we rescued her from the kidnappers and brought her back to the safety of his house.Now, as I watched her across the table, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something special about her, something that went beyond her resemblance to Evara. She had a strength and a resilience that wer
Cyrus point of view. I left her immediately. I had healed her. I transferred all her pain into my body and I urgently needed to rest. I did not expect her pain to be this extreme. Whoever was chasing after her did immerse harm to her body and, as strong as I am, even I could feel it, although not as much as she would have felt it, my strength and endurance level are above every other werewolf's.I couldn't help but wonder. Her scent wasn't Evara's. I knew this because it is impossible for a werewolf to forget the scent of its mate. She was the woman I loved and gave my all to. I will never forget her scent. Also, this girl had white hair, just exactly as I had seen in the vision, but Evara's hair flowed like a curtain of night, a velvety veil that framed her face with an aura of timeless elegance. Each strand, as dark as the deepest depths of the cosmos that danced in the gentle breeze, enchanting all who beheld its mesmerizing allure. Although her features and everything else were Ev
