All Chapters of Bound By Love And Prophecy : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Jessica's POV I felt a chill run down my spine, but I shook it off."What, are you scared?" She asked. "If you are too scared to spar with me then I can—""No, I'm not," I said, cutting her off. "I'm not scared.""Great, then we'll be the first to start. Remember Jessica, no holding back."I nodded as I took a step backward, taking my combat position. I watched Rebecca's eyes move from me to somewhere else. I followed her line of sight. She was staring at the silver-eyed Alpha, who was walking with a few others towards where the other Alphas were seated.For some reason, my heart skipped a beat.I turned to Rebecca, and I noticed that her gaze had softened as she kept staring at him. But when she turned to me, it hardened again."You know what, Jessica," she said, her voice low and almost predatory, "let's do it this way. I'll let you throw your punches and kicks at me, but I'll only dodge without doing the same. If you can land a blow on me, then you win."Murmurings erupted around

Writer's POV Eighteen Years Ago"One... Two... Three..." Lloyd counted as he leaned on the wall.Michael and the other kids ran as fast as they could away from him, looking for a safe hiding spot.Everyone thought he wasn't very good at the game. His friends had teased him for always being an easy find for Lloyd.He only did it because he didn't want his six-year-old brother to feel sad and cry for not finding anyone. But this time he wanted to do something different. He wasn't going to let anyone find him easily. He ran through the empty hallways, avoiding the guards as he headed toward his parent's room. No one would ever think of looking for him there.He walked into the room, looking for a place to hide. He checked the closet, but he couldn't get the door opened. He tried the drawers, but they were too small for him. Michael turned from left to right, looking for a better hiding place. Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching the room. He scurried underneath the bed, waiting f

Jessica's POV I stared at Rebecca, and then at my fingers. It had happened again. Claws had grown out of my fingertips, and I had used them to dig deep into Rebecca's flesh.She stared at me in shock as she took her arm away from her neck and stared at the blood on it."I didn't mean to, Rebecca; I'm not sure what happened," I muttered as I took a few steps backward. Rebecca stood up, her eyes pupils shaking in disbelief and anger. "That's it, Jessica," She muttered before screaming the word, "I'm going to kill you!"She bolted towards me, taking hold of my neck. She raised me as her grip tightened."Rebecca... Please... Stop," I said, my voice a little above a whisper as she strangled me. But she didn't listen—she didn't stop.That was when it hit me. A sweet smell that sent shivers down my spine. My eyes flew to the crimson juice trailing the corners of her neck, down to her chest.It intrigued me, like a painting on a canvas, calling out to me.That usual sensation overwhelmed

Michael's POV I kept staring at the woods waiting for something—anything.Suddenly, dark silhouettes formed right behind the last line of trees.My heartbeat fastened, but it slowed down when I saw who they were. It was the Redwood boy and some warriors.Lloyd and the girl, Jessica, didn't come out, which was weird.I pulled the drapes back in place before walking towards the bed and sitting down.I crouched over, my hands above my head and my elbows on my thighs.I wasn't sure what was happening to me, but I hated it.Why was I thinking of her? Why couldn't I get her out of my head? Why was I worried about her safety?A few days ago, I didn't care much about her, so what was going on?A knock came to the door, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Come in," I muttered without even caring to know who it was.The door opened, and someone walked in."You don't look so good," he said.I jerked up the moment I heard Lloyd's voice. "Did you find her?" I asked with urgency.I was shocked at th

Jessica's POV I took a step back, pulling my face away from his grip. "It's none of your business," I replied.His lips curved into a menacing smile. "Oh, is that so?"I was about to resume washing when in the blink of an eye, he pulled a female Omega towards him, his hand on her throat for all to see."Drop the plate, or I end her life," He threatened.My heartbeat fastened. "You are joking right?"He smirked. His claws grew longer, ready for the kill."Tell me, Jessica: do you want to find out if I am joking? Do you want to see what a warrior from the Blackwood Pack can do in a second?"Panic kicked in. I had heard a few things about the Blackwood brothers. They were fierce and merciless.But rumors have it that the youngest might be stronger.It turns out that a month after his first shift, he became a warrior—something that took others more than a year.I stared at the girl he was holding—Alex. She was the youngest help in the Pack—only fourteen.Tears trailed down her cheeks a
