All Chapters of Awakening the White Wolf: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Kiara's POV For the first time in days, I didn't feel like shit when I woke up. It might sound like an exaggeration, but I felt exactly how flowers felt whenever they opened up to let in the sun's rays, which was weird, because I'd never had flashbacks where I was ever a flower in my past life. I wasn't even sure I had a past life. If by some chance I was living life all over again, or I'd reincarnated somehow, then I think it was safe to say that I sucked at doing life. Maybe if I was slightly better, Hunter wouldn't have betrayed me, Luna wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have lost all that I had. My chest tightened, threatening to drown the little bit of joy I'd found this morning, but I didn't let it. I was feeling incredibly lighter today, and I'd be damned if I let anything ruin that. A small sigh slid past my lips as I buried my head into my pillow. It was soft, softer than it was last night. My body didn't ache, and I could relate to not having a heavy headache after all

Kiara's POV The dream didn't feel like a dream anymore. It felt strictly like a nightmare, one I wanted to wake up from so badly, and I would have, if I hadn't stumbled upon what I did first. It felt real, so real a part of me started convulsing just by thinking about it. It was so real I could taste the blood in the air and smell the ashes littering around. The dream started off in the throne room,only it wasn't ours anymore. I wasn't sure I'd ever been to the throne room, but I'd walked past and snuck a peek at it a good number of times to know what it looked like. As opposed to the marbled floors and walls that ran through the real throne room, the entire room glowed with black. It pulsed like it has shadows of its own and I didn't miss the shadows that pooled around the walls, le oil spilling around. All of that and more were frightening, but nothing could have prepared me for the sight that stood at the center of it all. On the throne that was once a vibrant shade of gold

Kiara's POV The chains held, but barely, and it sent my mind reeling with a million and one emotions all at once. They ranged from fear, to shock, to hope back to anxiety again. My thoughts were all over the place, and the more I tried to get rid of them, the more, they came back, and in full force too. The chains pulsed every few minutes, a faint shimmer of runes rippling through them. I hated to admit it, but every time I stared at it, I couldn't help but feel like they were breaking and getting weaker by the minute. I wasn't sure lf it's potency, but it seemed to be reducing rapidly and by every breath too. Cain had warned me that they wouldn't hold forever, especially if the shadow kept feeding off him, but a small part of me had hoped for a miracle, no matter how small. I didn't think the moon goddess loved me very much, but right now, I wouldn't mind a miracle from her. If she could just miraculously rid Darius of this shadow, then best believe I would give the biggest of

Kiara's POV I didn't want to believe my ears, I couldn't. I didn't to believe that there was no other way out, except the way Cain had offered. There was every possibility he was also joking, right?Wrong. I was very very wrongMy gaze darted to Cain, and he still wore the same expression he wore when he'd told me about the tome. Seriousness etched into a face that held a stoic expression stared back at me, and I wondered if truly this was the only way out.I didn't like the answer to that question, but just because I didn't like something, didn't mean I wasn't going to have to do it.“You're stalling.” Cain's voice cut through my monologue. For a quick second there, I had totally forgotten that he was still supposed to be standing in front of me. “Why? You seemed so sure about wanting to save him.”“I was.” My mouth went dry. “I mean, I am. It's just….”“It's not as easy as you thought?” A sadistic smirk slid past his lips, “Would it be fair if I said I told you so, and rub it i

Kiara's POV My heart thundered wildly in my chest, and no matter what I tried to calm it down, the vital organ just wouldn't budge. I'd even tried a couple of breathing exercises too, but none of them seemed to be working. I'd inhaled and exhaled, I'd even counted the many doors I'd walked past on my way here, but nothing. None of them seemed to be working, and I hated it. Frustration nipped at my sides, and I clenched my fists by my side. Whole I did that, I was careful to not ruin or crumple up the list Cain had given me. I'd been fidgeting the moment he left, and I was a hundred percent sure that I'd wrinkled those pages more than necessary. It was a miracle how they weren't already shredded into pieces by now. A small beep from up ahead was all it took to pull me out of my thoughts. It had come from one of the doors beeping shut, and as the guard walked past me, I could already tell what he was thinking. What the hell was she still doing out here?I wasn't sure of the exact
