Semua Bab MY SECOND-CHANCE MATE IS A WOLF HUNTER: Bab 41 - Bab 50

I shot up from my seated position.My breathing was heavy as I looked around. I thought that I was in sleeping in a bed in the church hostels, but the only things around me were grass and trees.I took a moment to look around me.My mind was foggy and I couldn’t recall what had happened.How had I gotten here?I turned and saw that Morning was lying down in the grass beside me. I had missed her prone body earlier. She was sleeping and she had a peaceful expression on her face. My heart warmed up. If someone had seen her asleep like that, they wouldn’t guess how ferocious she could be when awake.I touched my head with my hand. It was banging.What was the last thing I remembered?I enjoyed the sight of Morning sleeping beside me, but I still felt an empty space between events.I could remember the dream I had been having. Now that I was awake, most of it was already fading away. But it was a memory before a dream, so I could never forget it so easily. It had been a dream of times I h

My heart clenched at his question.A wave of guilt washed over me. It was almost as if I had killed Rowena with my own two hands.I hadn’t been looking in his eyes before, but I glanced at them now. The fear there was evident.That showed that he understood a bit of the situation already. Meaning that my suspicions that Phoenix was in on the whole 'Fae' thing was true.All that was a deduction I made in the back of my mind, the forefront was occupied with feeling guilty. And feeling something else too.I looked away from his eyes.I turned my head to a direction away from us. Oisin and Rowena were under a tree not too far away, but it was understandable that Phoenix hadn't immediately spotted them from his current position.“She’s over there.” I said in a low voice that was almost a croak.When I turned back to Phoenix, I saw that his body had stiffened in fear even further.It was strange, this man that smiled in the face of death was scared now.Phoenix placed one hand on his knee

Oisin got up from his perch on the ground before we got there.He turned to us with a look of surprise. He had been sleeping beside his sister and watching over her as she lay unconscious on the ground.“Phoenix. You’re awake?” He asked. His voice lightened slightly but it still remained heavy. I remembered when I had first seen him. He had been so lively back then. I found myself wishing for the old Oisin back.Now when I looked into his eyes, I felt guilt. He never accused me of anything but I still felt like it was all my fault. I wished that he would just accuse me. At least that would make things so much simpler for me. Instead he just looked downcast.“Phoenix!” I turned to see Roman run from his sleeping spot towards Phoenix. He jumped on Phoenix in a big hug.I had completely forgotten about Roman. He was so quiet that he tended to slip my mind most of the time.Those were the first words he had said in a long while. At least to me. It was possible that he had been talking to

Everyone went ahead to do just what I had told them to.I started a mental count in my head. That was another skill I had learned from the church. Of course I always kept count of days. So I knew what day of the year it was by the empire’s calendar at any moment.All of those where benefits of the education that Magnus had given me in the church. Of course in my village, no one had known how to read and write. That was another reason we were looked down upon as some sort of primitive barbarians.By the time I had gotten to the church, I had reason to be embarrassed because of my limited skill to read and write. Of course I had started with almost no skill at all. But Magnus had been a hard father, and there were times when the necessity arose. So I had learned to write a few basic characters and read a few basic words.Now that I thought about it. My illiteracy was the only area in which I didn’t excel as the best in the church. Honestly it was that imperfection that helped me make so

Phoenix fell to the ground before he could even move.I wasn’t aware when I rushed to him. Oisin shouted his name in the back ground.I knelt on the ground and scooped up his head in my arms.“Phoenix!” I called him.His eyes were closed and he didn’t even stir.My heart rate went up. Was he dead?I leaned down to his face. I could feel his breath. It was faint, like a cool night's breeze.His breath reassured me a little bit, but not all the way.I shook him.“Phoenix, wake up. What’s wrong?” I asked.Oisin came closer. “What happened?” He asked.“How would I know?” I asked. I sounded angry. I was upset.I shook him again.“Come on. Wake up.” I repeated. It was already a plea at that point.“He had been awake just a moment ago.” I said. It was unfair. Phoenix had woken up and everything was going to be fine. I had finally relaxed when he did.But now it was like a lie was told. As if someone had dangled a prize in front of my eyes, even giving it to me to let me hold it and feel it,
