บททั้งหมดของ I was never Human: บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

Cersai's POV:After knowing Kwen was ok and on her way back, I was able to calm down a little. But judging by the looks on Elijah's and Steph's faces, they were still heated as well.At least I'm not the only one still pissed.A light meal, along with tea, water and coffee was brought into the conference room. We all grazed through the food and drinks with small talk.'When is she gonna get here?'Reign grumbled over and over.'Soon.'I responded.'We have to do something. We should never not know where mate is.'I frowned.'Don't you think I know that! But I'm not about to force my mark on Kwen. What happened to waiting?'Reign gruffed out.'I know. I know. But that was before she had disappearing acts in the middle of the night.'He growled. I couldn't even be mad. I felt the same way. Suddenly, another call was heard. My eyes drifted up, and they settled on Alpha Brandon."Hello?"He said. Soon after, his face went from relaxed to ready to skin someone alive. He slammed his fist do

Connor's POV:I sat silently in the back seat of my SUV, my convoy following behind the car I was in. I sat, legs crossed texting Loren. I don't update her with everything I do, but I figured I'd give her an update today. Hopefully by the end of the day, I get to leave with my new mate. Roman is in the car behind me. I had to force him to come. He wants no parts in whatever I have planned, mainly due to the fact that he knows that I want Kwen for myself. I've wanted nothing more, feverently. Since her display a few weeks ago and the apparent awakening of her powers, my craving for her had doubled. "What is it that you're trying to secure, Alpha Connor?"My eyes came up from my phone to peer next to me. I breathed deeply before answering."It is not a "what," but a "who." You'd be wise to speak carefully about her."I said with an edge to my voice. He chuckled lowly."Well, well, well, Alpha Connor. It seems we have finally found your sore spot. Even for your actual mate, you did not

Tori's POV:Over 40 years ago...I sat in my room, gazing out the window with my knees pressed against my chest. I didn't know what to make of my situation. I prayed and prayed to the Goddess to strip me of my gifts, but she has only ignored me. Just the other day, I roamed the library of my pack, in search for a way to rid myself of this curse. I never found it. I did, however, come across Heather. She's technically our librarian/historian, but she carried this air of mystery about her that kinda unnerved me. She stopped me during my search and her words still haunts me.Flashback: a few days ago...I heard the door to the library clack open and then slammed shut. I gazed back to see who it was, but found no one. I turned back around to see a woman staring at me. I jumped. We both had the same gray eyes, but hers felt more lived in, like she could see right into my soul. Her hair is half white and half silver, split right down the middle. It was thick and full all the way down. She s

Tori's POV: Continued...I stayed huddled up in my room within the palace. I didn't want to be bothered by anything or anyone. I cried everyday, remembering what was said to me from my own mother. She didn't love me for who I was. She loved the idea of me, and when I could no longer hold to that version she saw me being, she hated me for it. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. A week later, I decided to stop wallowing in someone else's vision of me and hating myself for not being able to conform to it. I got up and left my room for breakfast. It was strange being amongst the people of the royal pack. When I entered into the dining hall, many stared at me, confused as to why I was there. I felt awkward, but refused to cower. That's when I saw a hand lift up, waving me over. It was a boy. He seemed to be around my age, and he sat deeper in the dining hall. I walked over to him and took a sit. He looked at me and reached out a hand for me to shake. I looked down at it, th

Cersai's POV:I had to sit in on a meeting with my father and our warriors. I heard James's parents would be returning shortly. His parents are great warriors and undercover operatives that tend to go "dark" for months at a time. They're some of our top scouts. Apparently, this was their jobs back before James was born. They took a pause on that life when James arrived and waited till he was completely settled into his role as my gamma to take up that position again. They weren't due back for awhile, but my father requested his mother to return to help my mate and her sister. Yanell is a talented warrior, but she also was gifted with magic. Sometimes the Goddess gives certain people certain gifts. She just so happened to get magic. Our magic and witches magic are two different things. Our magic is limited to internal use only. We can't subjugate anyone to our will, nor can we use potions. Witches can use the elements and project their will onto others. The smallest of things can have
