Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Curse: The Enemy Within: Kabanata 151 - Kabanata 160

Sheila's point of viewI held my breath, laying still under the warm water in the tub. I just wanted some quiet and the silence lingering in the water was calming. It was enough to hush the wild drumming of my heart. It had been like this since I was shot last night and I don't know how to make it stop. I knew this was just another test of Vladimir. This wasn't the first time. He was still in doubt and wanted to be certain if I remembered anything. Anything I shouldn't.I closed my eyes, pulling out of the water. I still couldn't believe how fast time had flown in this godforsaken place. It's been eight weeks since I was brought here, yet it felt like it was only yesterday it all happened. The attack on my pack and his death. Killian's death.Even with the gate of my eyes jammed shut, tears burned down from my eyes. I wrapped my arms around my body as a murdering coldness enveloped the washing room, piercing my heart. And now, I couldn't stop the tears from escaping as the pain rooted

Killian's point of viewIt was almost evening. Zena, Kaiser, and I have been waiting in the woods that led to the Dark cave for hours now. Fuck, I was restless. I didn't know why my heart was pounding so fast. Ever Since I woke up last night, I just couldn't seem to think clearly. Everything was so fucking messed up.I shut my eyes as I pulled my back against the trunk of a tree. Kaiser and Zena, who was his mate, were together, a few distances behind me.I massaged my temples with my fingers. I felt exhausted and weak, but I just couldn't find any peace, not until I saw Sheila. I had to see her. Nothing made sense at the moment without Sheila, without my mate. I still couldn't believe I died, and worse, Sheila was taken. These eight weeks I've been unconscious only felt like a night's sleep. I lost eight weeks of my life, and Sheila as well.Oh, goddess. That was exactly what made me restless. I refused to think deeper about it. It was absurd for Sheila to be mated to that bastard. S

Sheila's point of viewI kept staring at the mirror, watching my very own reflection. I could hardly get any sleep last night, especially after my time with Vladimir. I could feel it in the depths of my soul, something was happening. Nikolai was getting to Vladimir. He had begun to suspect the process of the ritual; he must know I was doing it wrong. And now, just when I had to be involved, they were trying to cut me off.The Blood moon was a few days away and we were supposed to have found the right vessel by then. A vessel that had enough energy to contain the Shota's magic before we had it transferred to Vladimir on the night of the Blood moon. That has been Vladimir's plan all along. He wanted the Shota's magic. That would be terrible for all of us. Vladimir was a mixed breed, being a wolf and a vampire. The last thing we needed was him getting his claws on the Shota's magic. I couldn't let that happen. That would make him a step closer to his plan.The Shota's magic was the darke

Sheila's point of viewI was seated in one of the wooden chairs in the cabin, Killian was beside me, Kaiser sat on the table close to the door, and Zena, who I just found out was Kaiser's fated mate, was right opposite us. She was a witch as well who I was grateful to for helping both my brother and Killian.The cabin was completely quiet as Kai explained everything to me about how he followed Nikolai through the portal into Oasis, meeting Zena and Killian's situation. I had no idea what I had done to save Killian, but whatever it was, I kept thanking the goddess for it."Zena had tried to send word out of Oasis, but it's impossible," Kai said, rubbing his hands together. "We have no idea what's happening on the outside. I can't stop thinking about Leonardo and the others, what exactly happened after Nikolai took you and we jumped right after."I could feel Kai's worry. It was justified. Every single day I also wondered what exactly happened to the others after Nikolai had left with m

Sheila's point of view"And Vladimir?" Zena asked abruptly as we continued strategizing on our plan. "What do we do about him?"Zena's question sent me deep into my thoughts. That question had always lingered in my thoughts, and until now, I had no answer for it."We end him along with this fucking place," Kaiser replied almost joyously, but I remained silent, feeling Killian's eyes on me.I tilted my head to meet his penetrating gaze, before glancing over at Kaiser and Zena."We can't," I said, as calmly as I could."Why?" Kaiser spoke quickly."Because aside from the insane fact that Nikolai did something and magic doesn't have any sort of effect on him, Vladimir cannot be killed," I stated flatly."What?"The first day I woke up in this cursed place. I had used my magic on him and it didn't work. Nothing I did seemed to work on him."If that bastard cannot be killed, what then are we going to do about him?" Zena asked."I don't know," I was honest. "Hopefully, the Council will be a
