All Chapters of Awakening the White Wolf: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kiara's POV She'd looked like a ghost of herself and I had no one to blame but myself. It didn't exactly make any sense, but I had no idea why I couldn't shake off the guilt that formed in the pit of my belly. I'd had a hand in this, whether I was willing to admit it, or not. When I'd decided to go see her after the fight, I wasn't sure what I'd expected to see, but it definitely wasn't the young woman seated on the floor, with her knees to her face and her back pressed against the wall. Her bright eyes that seemed to always burn with fire were dull now. There was no spark in them, nothing that screamed the one rogue that got under my skin without trying, and the same one I couldn't get out of my mind. The blood on her hands were the first thing that caught my gaze. Most of it weren't hers, I knew that because I'd seen how she'd gotten the said blood on her hands. I always said she was too quiet to be a rogue. She was feisty and challenged authority, but she didn't carry the vi

Kiara's POV My cheeks burned, but that wasn't the only thing on fire. Heat seared through my body, and the cool breeze that rustled through the night did nothing to make me feel better. If anything, it only made me all the more hot, and I couldn't help but stop to wipe the beads of sweat that lined my forehead away from my face. I pressed my feet deeper into the ground,pushing myself faster than I would like to. Since I was still weak, running wasn't exactly the best option for me, but I didn't really put too much thought into it. Right now, my mind was a total mess, and the only thing I wanted to focus on, was putting as much space as I could between me and what had just happened back there. No, scratch that. Between me and him. My feet caught in some stray vines that had somehow crawled onto the ground, and I almost tripped. Luckily for me, I was able to catch myself in time, right before I could fall face flat onto the ground. I was already having a kind of shitty nig

Kiara's POV A loud knock at my front door had me peeling open my eyes immediately. I jerked upright in my bed, and my eyes darted to the digital clock on my bedside table. The time read four fifty six pm, and I felt my heart sink to the ground. Why this early? I snuck a peek at the window, it was still dark outside, and from here, I had a pretty good view of the garden. Memories rushed at me immediately, and I felt my cheeks flare up for no goddamn reason. It had been hours since it'd happened, so why was I still remembering it. Maybe because that was the only thing you could bring yourself to focus on. My wolf whispered in my head, and I felt the urge to curse. She was right. After Hazel's parting words last night, I found it incredibly hard to sleep. Maybe if she hadn't added her last statement, I wouldn't have had a problem with falling asleep, but she did, and my mind had picked up on it immediately. “You know, I've seen him furious, angry. Hell, I've seen him throw hi

Kiara's POV I knew from the start that whatever this was, wasn't going to be easy, but never in a million years did I think that fate would want to make things a million times harder from me. I was still reeling from the last punishment. For the first time since I'd left my previous pack and jumped over the cliff, I'd heard Lena's voice, and it wasn't friendly. “You let us die.” Her words were as clear as day. “You couldn't save me. You couldn't protect your friend.”I knew she'd died because of me, even if I didn't like admitting it, it wasn't going to change the truth. I might not have been the one who killed Lena, but her blood was on my hands, whether I liked it or not. I'd thought not thinking about it would slowly rid me of the guilt that I felt, but now that it had popped up at the back of my mind, the said guilt was overwhelming, and would definitely kill me if whatever with the glowing red eyes didn't get to me first. It must have found a way to read my thoughts beca

I paused, he was right. I hadn't forgotten the danger that loomed over me back at the palace. Darius was yet to know that our pack were rivals, and on top of it all, I had lied to him. I had no idea what he was going to do to me when he found out, but I just knew he wouldn't be pretty. “Come on.” His small fingers wrapped around my wrist. “Let's go before another shadow monster shows up. I know the way. Let's go.”“I can't.” I let out after a couple of seconds. My voice was nothing short of a whisper, but I knew he'd heard me. “I can't. I have to find what I'm looking for…”“You'll die in here.” His voice turned icy, and I could swear there was a certain shift in the atmosphere. “You'll regret not coming with me.”My heart thundered in my chest at his words, but before I could think too much about it, he'd disappeared down the little path that led to wherever. I stayed back for a couple of minutes. Maybe he would come back, or maybe he would come back to convince me. But after at lea
