All Chapters of Blood Legacy: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"So you do know each other. Pretty well, I'd dare say," I started with an inquisitive look between them both, watching my father's features remain impassive as he stared at me whilst Nathan stood a few steps away from us, pensively staring at the floor."Is it true?" I found the courage to ask after a moment of silence, finding my father's gaze.His brows furrowed with evident confusion after my rather cryptic question, so I quickly added,"That you gave me to him?"That guilty expression marring his features as soon as I uttered those words was enough of an answer, my throat hurting from those tears that threatened to spill as I hoarsely said,"Why?""It's not that simple," He calmly answered, that simple answer however managing to invoke a bout of rage within me, failing to contain myself as I angrily pressed back,"Why? Why is it not that simple? Why do you keep saying that? What could possibly be so important, to make you resort to such archaic vows or promises or whatever? To hav

He didn't come back after that. My father stayed with me until it was time for my sister to come back from school, choosing to leave right as she was about to arrive home. He didn't want to overwhelm her with his presence just yet, was what he'd said, but I knew better.Fucking coward.I smiled as I greeted my sister from the doorway, watching her face fill with genuine joy as she ran straight towards me and threw her arms around me, giving me a tight and warm hug.We spent the entire evening by ourselves as mom was apparently M.I.A again, preparing dinner and eating together like we used to every once in a while, casually chatting about what happened in my absence at school, I myself being forced to lie after every question of hers as I obviously couldn't tell her the truth about what happened to me in those two short days I'd spent at Nathan's.I didn't bother going to school for the remainder of the week, too scared to face him again for various reasons.I didn't want to see his fa

Zara took it upon herself to patiently explain to me the hierarchy of a werewolf pack as we walked to the cafeteria to have our lunch.She started with the Alpha -which was actually what Nathan was, unsurprisingly- continuing with the Beta (David) and Delta (Christian), finishing with the warriors -which was actually what all three female wolves in Nathan's gang were- and then the omegas and the lone wolves. She told me that the lone wolves were simply families or even single wolves who made the choice of living a life in solitude, away from pack grounds or rules. They respected the universal laws of keeping away from any claimed territory and the vow of secrecy from the human world, generally forced to adopt a neutral stance if they somehow found themselves tangled in a dispute between packs."Wow, that's actually cool. So you don't have to abide by anyone's rules. You can have a normal life, almost like humans," I said with a look of wonder as I peered at Jess."Well, we do have to

"Wait, like right now?" My eyes widened, a little alarmed as I didn't even know what to expect. Or rather what was expected of me."You could try summoning her at least," Zara suggested and Jess quickly nodded with approval, all the while I sat there and looked between them, entirely lost."Yeah, I mean I could try if you're okay with it too," Jess directed her attention towards me as she said that, making me blink and stare at her for a moment."Yeah sure," I quickly blurted out upon noticing that hint of nervousness taking over her feminine features.Was I internally freaking out because I didn't know what I was supposed to do or what was going to happen? Hell yes. I was totally freaking out. I was a wrecking mess. But that didn't mean that I was going to say no to her. She was my friend. I had to at least try to help her out, however I could and with whatever I could."Promise not to freak out?"Pffft. I already was."Please. After everything that their lovely Alpha did to me, trus

Our gazes met from a distance as I calmly made my way back to our school's picnic area with Jess and the wolfy girls trailing after me, noticing him sitting on a table close to the school's entrance, his elbows resting on his knees, hunched over in a rather predatory way as he watched me like a damn hawk.David was right next to him, casually watching me too with a somber expression.The area was now completely deserted as lunch time was already over, making me realize that they've been actually waiting for us to return.Why? Hell knows.I raised my chin a little higher and straightened my back though as I could notice him sizing me up and down with that brooding gaze of his, refusing to take his eyes off of me as I approached with determined strides, defiantly looking right back at him.I could feel my heart pound within my chest but I didn't let that hinder me, mentally steeling myself in as I finally stopped right in front of him, looking him directly in the eyes."Listen, I would
