REID:“He's waking up,”I hear Venice say and I am prompted to look away from the window that I have eyes on. I turn my body to the side to land my eyes on a partially naked Hunter tied down to a bed.I walk over to the bed, stopping close to the edge and it gives me a clearer view of him slowly opening his drowsy eyes. My arms are folded below my chest as I await his full activeness.In no time, he is already fully awake and that is when he tries to sit up after groaning to signify a most likely pain in his body. “Ow, that burns,” is what he says after being unable to get up from the bed which was accompanied by a rattling sound. And at the same time, his eyes land on all three of us that are in here with him in the room.He expresses shock at first and then confusion. But then he seems to gather himself and say, “What are you guys doing in my room? Did you tie me down like this?” He then exclaims at the end after another rattling sound that came with his struggle to sit up, “Ow!”I

KIRA:I find the owner of the voice as fast as it came. And what I see is an angry-looking Adam standing just outside by the side of the balcony. I get a memo of his reaction instantly, recalling the first-ever long proper discussion I had with him.“Uhm, Adam, what are you doing here?” I say, giving him the way eyes because I was certain he was going to snap any moment from now.Instead of responding to what I asked him, he starts to come to the front slowly, still maintaining the visible anger on his face.I give a brief stare at Bradley who seems confused about the present setup but in my mind, I was blaming him for this because the reaction I was getting from Adam was totally his fault.When Adam gets to the front, it is clear now that he has his sight set on the confused Bradley. I have to ask the moment he takes a step up the balcony, “What do you think you are doing, Adam?”Fortunately, I was quick to react because as soon the words leave my lips, my brother has jumped straight

KIRA:‘Don’t you think I need to leave? I’m having this eerie feeling being around the school,’ I communicate via the link to Alexia while resting my back on the barricade in the usual spot I take away from others during school hours.‘What eerie feeling? You sure it isn’t because you’re trying to avoid Kelvin?’ she asks teasingly.‘What has Kelvin got to do with this?’ even my facial expression shows how much ridiculous I find the question she asked. ‘Can you give me a break away from the guys? I’m trying to figure out my existence here, you know,’‘You sound like you are naive about the fact that I can see through you. We share the same soul, remember?’‘What about if I just cut you off from my soul?’‘Let me see you try,’ the confidence in her voice has me scoffing before I decide to put a block to the link between the two of us. And it was mostly because I needed to recuperate.Using the mind-link had come as something of a deal to me, but using it gets me mentally strained after

REID:“The bullshit is you trying to come up with an alliance just so you could end the rivalry between the Green Dales and the Night Blaze packs,” Simon states. “Just like you seem to know a lot about the Green Dales, I know a lot about your pack as well. I know how much your father hated the idea of the Red Legion, which means he forbade you to even consult the Elder. So why on earth would I believe you now that you tell me you met with him and it was him who gave you the idea to form a truce with me?”For real, this time around, I want to smack the hell out of Simon. Not just the fact that he is pissing me off with his words, but his constant assumptions are a killer for me. I would not mind putting my fist to good use before I leave.“I don’t what goes on in that head of yours that causes you to make absurd assumptions for me. I mean, is that how things work over here? Because it seems you lots tend to make unnecessary assumptions over everything,” I tell him, earning a narrow sta

KIRA:What I want to know now is how I was so relaxed around Alpha Reid. And this thought follows me all the way home. Even until I get into my room.Fortunately, mom didn’t ask why I got home earlier than expected. My saving grace was kind of Adam who decided to wait for me somewhere outside the apartment. And it was not until he noticed me did he decide to head in. Made it seem like we just got back around the same time.I have Dropped my bag already while standing to ponder on the scenario that occurred today. Adam was not in the room with me or I would not have the time to think through the way I ought to. According to him, he wanted to go rabbit hunting which seems sort of weird to do.The last statement Alpha Reid left with me was the most comprehensive of all. What does he mean by me being special? Does he know anything about me? This is crazy. How would he even know my identity? Or could he be that he is the same as me?It instantly brings me to the one being I know would answ
