Lahat ng Kabanata ng Awakening The Sliver Wolf : Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Wh-what was happening? Was this a dream, or what? The whole hall fell silent as they watched the scene before them with interest, wanting to see what unfolded next—except Mia. She didn't want to see what would happen next. She wanted to wake up from this nightmare and see Dalian by her side. She would breathe a sigh of relief—and probably cry—to know her worst fear hadn't come to pass. But no matter how much she shook her head and tried to clear the vision from it, nothing was happening. The scene still remained the same. It… it wasn't a dream. Dalian remained kneeling, gasping as if he couldn't catch his breath, and his and the witch's eyes were locked. Mia raised her head slowly from him and looked at the witch, and her eyes burned. She was beautiful. Stunning and ethereal in the way these witches were. She was everything Mia was not. Her chest grew unbearably tight, and it was hard to breathe. “Dalian,” she called out softly as if she wanted him to give her some sort of val

After they cleaned themselves up and tried to look as composed as they could, they didn't go back to the ballroom and just went to Mia’s room, where they had to shower, and then made love again. By the time they moved to the room and just fell down on the bed, their bodies wet, they were both exhausted. They stayed entangled in each other, Mia’s head resting on his chest while he wrapped his arms around her. “Don't reject her now,” she said suddenly, her voice heavy with sleep. “What?” he muttered, stroking her back.“Your–The witch. Don't reject her now. Who knows the problem it might cause between the witches? They might choose to withdraw their help for hurting one of their own.”He had also thought hard about that and that was the same conclusion he had come to. “Alright,” he whispered, tightening his arms around her. “I’ll wait. But will you be okay?”She didn't answer right away, and he thought she had fallen asleep. “No,” she answered quietly. “But I’d be selfish if I didn'

The ladies stood still, staring at each other, not knowing what to say. Aria looked away first, searching around her with a hopeful glint in her eyes. “He’s not here,” the words came out of Mia before she could stop herself, her voice sounding bitter.Aria’s shoulders fell and she looked back at Mia with a sad smile. “Oh. I-I thought he would be here since you are practically glued together.”She said that with a sad smile, her shoulders in a defeated slump, her eyes soft, yet… yet her voice was filled with venom. Dripping with it. Lacing her every word. Mia stared back at her. “Could you help me with that? I mean glue us together?”Aria dropped the soft look faster than light, her features transforming right before Mia’s eyes. She stood up straight and she was towering over Mia. Her face grew hard and cold. Her eyes… God, her eyes were empty. Like she had no soul. She tsked as she walked towards Mia, shaking her head. “Mia. Mia. Mia. You're quite small for the trouble you're causi

What was going on? Just… just what was going on?Somehow, this whole thing that was happening hadn't really dawned heavily on Mia. Somehow she was still thinking—hoping—that all this was a terrible nightmare and she would wake and everything would be the way it was. Because this was all just too much to be real. Too painful. Sure, she was never loved by her pack, but she had Darius and Lucian, and then Ravenna came along and she had her too. And it was bearable. She no longer felt like she would suffocate. She no longer felt like she wanted to run away and go somewhere where nobody would know her. But right now… Right now she wanted to do more than just run away; she wanted to disappear from the surface of the earth. Because now it was worse than unbearable. This time… it was choking her to death. Darius, Ravenna, and Lucian were looking at her with a look in their eyes. A look that said, “Admit it. Admit it so we’ll still have the witches' support.”She didn't know if they thoug

It was dark but the moon shone brightly enough. Mia was at the river far from the packhouse. She had shifted back to her human form, so she was naked. She sat on the bank, her back facing Dalian, but he knew she knew he was there. He shifted back and the cold hit him so hard that he shuddered. He sat beside her, his feet entering the water, and the cold made him flinch. “You must be cold,” he said softly, aching to touch her, hold her, but he restrained. After seeing that look in her eyes earlier, he didn't know if she even wanted him to be here, let alone touching. She said nothing and just stared at the water, her legs moving and disrupting the stillness of the water. He looked at her, his eyes burning into the side of her face, trying to figure out what she was thinking, but he couldn't. Her expression was closed off, yet… peaceful. He hadn't expected that, but that made him relax a little. “I have never come to this place before,” she said softly, and Dalian let out a breath
